******** Easiest way: **********
1.Click on PODs in the left column.
2.In the centre column select the pod you want, then navigate to "build settings" in the top right panel.
3.Then search "Swift Language Version" and change to a known version.
Solution 3 - Xcode

Solution 4 - Xcode
I followed the instructions on this page and the error didn't resolve. Finally, went into
$ vim MyProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
and found two instances where
SWIFT_VERSION = 3.0;
was still being referenced. I changed those to 5.0 and the error was gone. Not sure why those two were still there.

It seems that the app might have an old Swift version code like Swift 3.0 in your case. In the release of Xcode version 10.2 has launched Swift 5.0 version. Xcode 10.2 does not support compiler for Swift 3.0 version. You can change compiler from Build Settings -> Swift Compiler - Language -> Swift Language Version -> Change it to Swift 5
. If your code is compatible with that language version then it will run the code without error.
> However, the Swift 3 compatibility mode will not be supported in the > Swift 5 compiler. Swift 4.2 is the last release of Swift to support > Swift 3 mode. There are important changes to both the surface of the > language and the interior of its implementation in the releases > following Swift 3 that will be the basis of future (and lasting) > source and binary stability.

If you really wish to run the app which has older Swift version code than you must have to use an older version of Xcode. You can use Xcode version 10.1, it's compiler having support for Swift 3.0 version.
Another alternative way is to migrate your old Swift code to the new version of the Swift version. You can migrate you Swift 3.0 to Swift 4.0 in Xcode 10.1 version.
For migration guide refer to this https://swift.org/migration-guide-swift4/

I opened up the file MyProject.xcodeproj
(using VSCode editor)
and I found some lines where
> SWIFT_VERSION = 3.0;
(at about line 400 where it says /* Begin XCBuildConfiguration section */
)
Modify to SWIFT_VERSION = 5.0 or others. After that I was able build and run the project.

I came across this issue while developing a Cocoapod. I had an old .swift-version
file in my repo that specified Swift 3.0.
Running pod lib lint --verbose
led me to this helpful response:
> Please remove the .swift-version
file which is now deprecated and only use the swift_version
attribute within your podspec.
I deleted the file and added spec.swift_version = '5.0'
to my podspec file to fix the problem.

- Check this out:
- Click on Project name
- Click target
- Click on Build setting
- At the Swift Language Version: Choose Swift 4
Solution 12 - Xcode
If you multiple pod files like I did and you're having trouble finding the pod with SWIFT_Version = 3.0 try the search bar

Its very simple. Just follow this 2 steps to resolve this issue.
In Step 1:
In Step 2:
- Resolve all other warnings
- Then Covert Swift 4.0 to Swift 5.0
Solution 14 - Xcode
-
change pod's version on podfile (because library wrote old swift version )
-
"pod install" on terminal
Solution 15 - Xcode
I am new to iOS development. After I followed all of the above answers, I still got the same error. I was using Xcode 11 and I downloaded the "FoodTracker" sample from Apple Developer web site and I got the same error after trying to build it. I found that the project has several settings referring to Swift language version after VIM the project file content. So, I resolved this by first setting the "Project > FoodTracker", and also "TARGETS > FoodTracker" and "TARGETS > FoodTrackerTests" the Swift Language Version to 5.0. Hope it helps.
Solution 16 - Xcode
- open MyProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj in the editor (e.q. Sublime)
- Rename all SWIFT_VERSION = 3.0; Rename all SWIFT_VERSION = 5.0;
Solution 17 - Xcode
PLease make sure that the your pod's version is compatiable with your swift's version. I have faced this issue when I had installed wrong version of pod (swift 2.3), But I was using swift 4
Solution 18 - Xcode
We can automate this using a post-install hook installing Cocoapods.
Add this to your Podfile
:
..
pod 'Alamofire' # Just an example for the last pod in list.
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '5.0'
end
end
end
end
This hook is helpful if you have lots of Pods
as dependencies because we don't need to manually change the Build Settings for each pod. However, be sure to manually change some pods to 4.0 or 4.2 as outlined in the earlier answers if they don't support Swift 5 yet.
