Hi @pdxchance can you please double check if you have git lfs installed in your project? ---

Ahhh, I didn’t have it but I installed it with Homebrew. Seemed to get farther but now there is this issue. It cannot find the framework? Yet, it seems to be installed. Can you advise please? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/amity/original/1X/335d9a18ef3d560d9171eb9d6031c6cb03cd1ff5.png) ---

Please disregard this thread. It seems easier to now use SPM. We are going to go that route. Thanks! ---

Hi @pdxchance we would recommend you to use our open source though, since, it enables you to customise everything as you wish and it’s a better option for the long term. Can you check if you’ve the UIKit project configurations to be same as your main project configurations? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/amity/original/1X/2dcff45fb7b0645056bfe10207cf8fd2ef2fd7dc.jpeg) ---

Thanks for the direction. We re-created the project and have a clean build now using the Amity frameworks.
