Hi @divyachandana, looking at this error I can see that there are multiple TNSCore.frameworks in your node_modules directory.

You can find more info in this thread.

I'm closing this issue as it is duplicated to #3909

Just for those that are looking for an answer, I looked through that thread and many, many others that claimed to have a solution to this issue and did not. After hours I managed fix the problem myself. I hope this will save others the time!!

This is basically caused when you have multiple plugins that need the same files but different versions of them. This problem can be avoided by making sure all nativescript plugins that are used are the same versions. This would be a good first step so you know that the plugins will still work after deleting the duplicate files.

SOLUTION!!!

• Open Xcode
• Select your project
• Find the 'General' tab (located within the same tab list as Build Phases, Build Settings etc)
• Scroll down to the 'Embedded Binaries' section.
• In the list you'll see that TNSCore.framework is in the list multiple times.
• Remove the duplicates using the '-' button until there is just one.
• Rebuild and hopefully if there are no other duplicates in that list you should have a successful build

Thank you r58developer. Your fix worked for me :)

Totally fixed the problem for me. I simply deleted the libraries that were complaining of duplication and let tns rebuild them. Fixed!

Not working for me. There are no multiple .framework files listed in the Xcode but I still get this error
