How to Add a watchOS Swift Target to Your Objective-C iOS App

Adding additional capabilities to your app can be quite exciting, but it often comes with its own set of challenges. If you're trying to add a watchOS target to your iOS app written in Objective-C and you're aiming to implement Swift in your watchOS extension, you might run into some issues. This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully add a Swift watchOS target without the headaches.

The Challenge

Suppose you're working on a "Hello World" React Native iOS app, developed in Objective-C, and you want to create a watchOS app using Swift. When attempting to add a Swift target, you may encounter the dreaded error:

This error can be frustrating and may discourage you from moving forward with integrating watch capabilities into your app. However, rest assured that there is a solution!

The Solution

Step 1: Modify Build Settings

To resolve the issue, you need to adjust the Library Search Paths in the build settings for your Swift target. Here's how to do that:

Open Your Xcode Project:
Launch Xcode and open the project that you are working on.

Select Build Settings:
Click on the project in the Project Navigator and select the target associated with your watchOS extension. Navigate to the "Build Settings" tab.

Locate Library Search Paths:
Ensure that the "All" option is selected in the filtering dropdown so that you can see all settings. Look for Library Search Paths.

Set Library Search Paths:
In the value field for Library Search Paths, you will see multiple entries. Use only the first one and set its value to:

Step 2: Clean and Build Your Project

Once you've adjusted the Library Search Paths, it's a good idea to clean your build folder to ensure that any cached data will not interfere with your changes:

Go to the Product menu and select Clean Build Folder (or press Shift + Command + K).

After cleaning, build your project once again using Product Build (or Command + B).

Step 3: Test Your Configuration

After following the above steps, attempt to run your watchOS app extension. If all goes well, your watchOS Swift target should compile successfully, and you'll be able to integrate watch features into your existing iOS app.

Conclusion

Integrating a watchOS target into an Objective-C iOS app can initially seem daunting, especially when trying to use Swift. By adjusting your Library Search Paths and ensuring you're building correctly, you can overcome these challenges and expand your app's capabilities.

If you follow these steps and still encounter issues, don't hesitate to reach out to developer communities or forums for further assistance. Happy coding and good luck with your watch app development!
