After I did all steps in `Code Generation` tutorial here: [Get started with Apollo iOS codegen - Apollo GraphQL Docs](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/ios/tutorial/codegen-getting-started) , I keep getting Xcode error: No such module ‘ApolloAPI’.

I installed Apollo using Cocoapods.

Any help?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem:

I followed the process here: [Apollo iOS 1.0 migration guide - Apollo GraphQL Docs](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/ios/migrations/1.0/#step-3-replace-the-code-generation-build-phase)

This is my config file:

```auto
{
  "schemaNamespace" : "ExampleApp",
  "schemaDownload": {
    "downloadMethod": {
        "introspection": {
            "endpointURL": "https://countries.trevorblades.com/graphql",
            "httpMethod": {
                "POST": {}
            },
            "includeDeprecatedInputValues": false,
            "outputFormat": "JSON"
        }
    },
    "downloadTimeout": 60,
    "headers": [],
    "outputPath": "./graphql/"
  },
  "input" : {
    "operationSearchPaths" : [
      "**/*.graphql"
    ],
    "schemaSearchPaths" : [
      "**/schema.json"
    ]
  },
  "output" : {
    "testMocks" : {
      "none" : {
      }
    },
    "schemaTypes" : {
      "path" : "./GeneratedAPI",
      "moduleType" : {
        "embeddedInTarget" : {
          "name" : "ExampleApp"
        }
      }
    },
    "operations" : {
      "inSchemaModule" : {
      }
    }
  }
}

```

And I am fetching Apollo iOS client from this repo: [https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios/blob/main/Apollo.podspec:](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios/blob/main/Apollo.podspec:)

I noticed how the `source_files` have `Sources/ApolloAPI` in there, but the framework itself is called `Apollo`

When I replace the `import`s statement in the generated code with `Apollo` (instead of `ApolloAPI`), then it compiles.

`ApolloAPI` is also nowhere in the framework list downloaded via Cocoapods:

Ok I found the solution, if you are importing via Cocoapods, you have to use this additional option so that it sets the right import:

> **[Codegen configuration](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/ios/code-generation/codegen-configuration/#module-type)**

 ![Screenshot 2024-03-06 at 1.53.03 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/apollographql/original/2X/2/2dda5f133fcb56c032c1b9512d10739a1ded42d8.png)

Set this value to `true` and you are good to go
