No such module 'AWSMobileClient' error inside AppDelegate.swift

Question

I'm trying to link aws frameworks with a native app. I'm using cocoapods and I have included and installed the dependencies I'll need as such inside my Podfile

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'auth' do

    inherit! :search_paths

    pod 'AWSMobileClient'
    pod 'AWSUserPoolsSignIn'
    pod 'AWSAuthUI'
  # Pods for auth

  target 'authTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

target 'auth-tvOS' do

  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for auth-tvOS

  target 'auth-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

At this time, when I import AWSMobileClient in my AppDelegate.swift file I received this error.

No such module 'AWSMobileClient'

I'm not sure what's causing this error when yet I have other AWS frameworks that do not yield any error. This might also explain why the app build keeps failing when ran in xcode. Any thoughts on this?

After installing the pods you need to open the .xcworkspace You cannot access them from your .xcodeproj

Here is a good summary of the difference between Xcode project and Xcode Workspace.
