iOS UI Test Project 'MailCore/MailCore.h' file not found

I did a

git clone https://github.com/MailCore/mailcore2.git

I open the

iOS UI Test.xcodeproj

I run the Build

I get the error

'MailCore/MailCore.h' file not found

I cannot understand why that is happening. 

What should I do to get this to build?

Some other sources I have found and followed their instructions are below. None of which fixed this problem.

https://github.com/MailCore/mailcore2/issues/316

https://github.com/MailCore/MailCore/issues/19

https://github.com/MailCore/mailcore2/issues/276

I also was able to open the

mailcore2.xcodeproj

and successfully build each of the targets. Which is interesting that I can do that but cannot build the test project independently.

I also followed the video and read me instructions to add to an existing project and was able to build until I added the 

#import <MailCore/MailCore.h>

to one of my files.

UPDATE:

The above process I initiated on my iMac.

On my MacBook Pro after I cloned mailcore2 I opened

mailcore2.xcodeproj

first then did the build on each of the targets.

Then I closed that project.

Opened the iOS UI Test.xcodeproj and did a build on that.

This was successful.

However, I still want to know what would cause the problem with the "file not found"

UPDATE 2:

I removed to trash all mailcore2 code from my iMac.

I created different locations in Finder for doing another clone of mailcore2.

I did the git clone.

I opened mailcore2.xcodeproj

I followed the exact same process of building each target like I did on my MacBook

I then opened the iOS UI Test.xcodeproj and did a build.

I get the same problem of

'MailCore/MailCore.h' file not found

Makes no sense to me how it works on macbook but not on iMac.

Solution

  • What I finally did was drop mailcore2 into an existing app I already had started.

    To do this I did the following:

    I removed all traces of mailcore2

    I again followed the instructions in the README and the video help.

    This time I followed some instructions from

    https://github.com/MailCore/mailcore2/issues/276

    The instructions in that link says to add the following to Library Search Path:

    $(PROJECT_DIR)/mailcore2/Externals/ctemplate-ios/lib

    $(PROJECT_DIR)/mailcore2/build-mac/build/Debug-iphonesimulator

    And the Header Search Path to

    $(PROJECT_DIR)/mailcore2/build-mac/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/include - recursively

    But, that did not work for me. I had to add the HARD CODED PATH to each of those 3 folders.

    After doing a clean and build I was then able to add the

    #import <MailCore/MailCore.h>

    Now it BUILDs completely without error for me.

    I will go back and try to add proper relative paths to each of those Search Paths.

    Hopefully this helps somebody else with same issue.
