Xcode throwing a "no such module 'UIKit'" error message

Using Swift
1

Hey coders,

Peace be w/ you. So had some Swift code writing using ChatGPT. But it's throwing an error "no such module 'UIKit'

Really hoping to get this iPhone app built using Xcode, but I can get it to "Run" w/ that error.

Any pointers is appreciated.

Thanks, +trengar

It'd probably be good to provide:

  • The Xcode project you've created
  • The actual code that ChatGPT wrote

In order for us to be able to help here :smile: My guess is your Xcode project is set up to target your Mac instead of the iOS simulator.

Thanks Harlan. Yeah, I think it is a source file issue but I am unsure how to add in the code to link it or direct it to the proper file. Or where it is in the settings if it is a admin function of Xcode.

Here's what I am trying to run pasted below and it throws the: no such module 'UIkit'' error message. Any steps are appreciated.

Peace and faith for the journey.

Hey Harlan, I think you are correct that the Xcode project is targeting the wrong location. How do I resolve that issue please? Thanks.

You can change the target on top bar of Xcode
