I have a project in Objective-C as well as in swift by taking MyProjectName-Bridging-Header.h and i also configured the Objective-C Bridging Header. Also i have added 'MyprojectName-Swift.h' in .pch file.

This works fine on xcode 8.2 but when i build my project from xcode 9 i am getting the below error.

failed to emit precompiled header '/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyprojectName-lajanjvhqjnfjksdsndsfkads/Build/Intermediates.noindex/PrecompiledHeaders/MyprojectName-Bridging-Header-swift_44AHJm3Z96qu-clang_2BIMGQVXGEZ09.pch' for bridging header '/Documents/MyProjectLocaiton/FoneApp-Bridging-Header.h'

Please help me out from this. Thanks!

I found out that I accidentally opened the ProjectName.xcodeproj file rather than the ProjectName.xcworkspace file.

Open the xcworkspace file, project will start working again!

Read this if you using cocoapods in project. I just update deployment target to iOS 10 or 11 in my case after updating pods and xcode make first build success. So problem was inside podfile where I had line

platform :ios, '11.0'

and my deployment target in project was 9.0 after I change my podfile to platform to

platform :ios, '9.0'

project was fixed.

Finally i got the solution of this issue. In my project the Prefix Header path is not clearly defined. Earlier the path was

$(SRCROOT)/MyPrefixHeaderFile.pch

MyPrefixHeaderFile.pch is in another folder inside the project folder, So i update the Prefix Header path to

$(SRCROOT)/FolderName/MyPrefixHeaderFile.pch

Also make sure your import of "ProductModuleName-Swift.h" is in your .m file, and not your .h file.

Maybe you create a new target, but you didn't add this at podfile

When you are getting this error in terminal upon running the xcodebuild command, do make sure you pass -workspace YourWorkspace.xcworkspace

You can try this solution. I have solved the same problem by this way.

Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme > Select "Build" on Left Menu > Find implicit dependencies

Under the build tab, check 'Find implicit dependencies':

Find implicit dependencies

Then make a clean and build again.

in my point of view I solved simply switch the order of import statements and build works fine.

In my case I had the same compiler error with additional errors like "Unknown type" in one of my project files, So I just added this to the problematic file, and it solved it instantly.

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

Adding my very own situation to the loop.

In my bridging header file, le'Ts say I added an import

#import "File.h"

Inside the File.h header file, there was a type referenced from an import that was inside the Prefix.pch, had to add the missing #import in my File.h

Also if you have multiple targets, be aware to include your #imports in every file.

@Li Yakun This is the solution if you have more then one target in project, every new target in podfile must have:

target 'NEWTARGET' do
    # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
    use_frameworks!

    # Pods for MAINTARGET
    shared_pods
end
