Linker errors in GoogleMobileVision when using Firebase ML Kit on iOS without cocapods

Question

I am trying to add the MLVisionTextModel of Firebase 5.0.1 into an Xcode project without cocoapods. I have added all the dependent frameworks as stated in the Readme.md file. Getting the following linker errors:

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The issue got resolved after adding Accelerate.framework as part of the build phases in Xcode.

Answer 2

Firebase frameworks are built statically, so if you are adding them manually to your project they should not be under embedded binaries in xcode under your application target. If you have it there removing it should fix the issue.
