error: module file's minimum deployment target

Question

All attempts to import a dynamic framework in an Xcode playground yield the following error:

error: module file's minimum deployment target is ios8.3 v8.3

Answer 1

I had the same issue when i downloaded a framework tutorial with ios 12 & my sdk has to have ios 11.4. I set the iOS Deployment Target to the version I needed(11.4) and updated the Pods dependancies also. But missed a few. So, then I did a search with the version that i wanted to change (that is 12.0). It just lists everything that has the version number (target, project, podspec, pods). Changing everyone of those (to 11.4 in my case), solved it.

Answer 2

I had this problem when the minimum deployment target of a select few dependencies was set to a more recent iOS version than main targets minimum deployment target.

Answer 3

In your Pod File, just delete the comment at this line:

platform :ios, '8.0'

It work for me.

Answer 4

I've encountered error:

Module file's minimum deployment target is ios9.2 v9.2

After I changed the iOS deployment target to 8.0 for my PROJECT. The project is created by Xcode 7.2, with 'Include Unit Tests' and 'Include UI Tests' checked.

Because of the XCUIApplication() requires iOS 9.0+, to fix the error, just change the deployment target of UI Tests to 9.0 or above, and leaves 8.0 for other targets.

Answer 5

This error might also crop up if you're unit testing. So in addition to what @Tony and @Allreadyhome has suggested, do the following:

• With your test target selected, go to 'Build Settings'
• Search for 'iOS Deployment target' at the top search bar.
• Change the value for the iOS Deployment Target accordingly, (in the context of this question, you will change the deployment target to 8.0)

And you should be good.

Answer 6

You might have created a target after updating Xcode, which made 8.3 the iOS Deployment Target in Build Settings for that target.

I fixed this by:

1. Setting the iOS Deployment Target to 8.0 (Which is the same as the rest of the project)

Note iOS version mismatch in this screenshot (one is 10.0, other is 9.3)

Note iOS versions now match (make sure they all match)

2. Doing a clean (Command+Shift+k) and build

If a clean+build doesn't fix it, switching the device/simulator that you are deploying to from the scheme menu and building again should help.
