When downloading DeepAR through Cocoapod, it seems like none of the views / apis are accessible after importing.

I’ve tried deleting derived data, pod install --repo-update and nothing works.

Hi @Benjamin_Lim!

Can you share more details of your Podfile, whether DeepAR is listed as installed when running `pod install`, the version of the SDK, and anything else that could be useful?

I now managed to add the SDK to the quickstart example using CocoaPods so we need to see in which situations the issue is present.

- It’s listed as installed (v5.4.1)
- It’s in the pods folder
- Importing DeepAR doesn’t do anything

This is what it looks like in the pod folder:

That’s about all the information I can conjure.

Just tested on Swift Package Manager. Not working either - getting this error:

Can you try doing some of the things suggested [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55505991/xcode-10-2-update-issue-build-system-error-1-unable-to-load-contents-of-file-l) or [here](https://github.com/deptagency/Unity-iOS/issues/1)? It’s possible you already tried them, but just to be sure…
