Xcode Moving code to a new project

Question

When renaming a project the project became corrupted and i could not recover it. when opening the workspace no files are visible only the .xcworkspace file in red and the pods project file in red. the swift files remained so i copied them to a new project and now i cant get past the following error

2016-05-03 14:17:55.368 App Name[2194:827220] +[NSDate dateFromRFC3339String:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x397f0348
2016-05-03 14:17:55.369 App Name[2194:827220] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+[NSDate dateFromRFC3339String:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x397f0348'

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

The same code worked fine in the previous project and the error. the project file does not appear to be present in the original file.

I need help on either debugging the above errors or to fix the original project.

any help will be greatly appreciated

Where did you get `dateFromRFC3339String ` from? I see some gists when I search -- did you copy the file where this is into your new project? — Lou Franco, May 03 '16 at 14:03
Its not anywhere in my project. dont know what it is or where it came from the only place i can find it is in the error. — Lonergan6275, May 03 '16 at 14:06
If you can't find it in your git history, then I guess copy it out of the gists you get by googling dateFromRFC3339String — Lou Franco, May 03 '16 at 15:31

Rebuild up your pods and the workspace by running pod install for this new project (perhaps clean out your Pods folder beforehand)

To be more clear

Backup you entire project and files somewhere
Exit xcode
If you are not using the xcworkspace for anything except pods, delete it
Delete the Pods folder
run pod install -- if there are errors, stop and tell us what they are
If there are no errors, you now have an .xcworkspace file and a Pods folder with pods
Open the .xcworkspace file in Xcode. Pods should not be red.

Sorry this did not help – Lonergan6275 May 03 '16 at 13:49
What happened exactly? Do you still have red pods? Are you loading the resulting workspace? Did pod install give an error? – Lou Franco May 03 '16 at 13:58
No red pods was in the original project that no longer works. I dont think its a pods related issue. i will try to simplify my question – Lonergan6275 May 03 '16 at 14:00
Go back to your original and use this process to fix it. – Lou Franco May 03 '16 at 14:04
my original does not have a .xcodeproj file git removed it and it was not tracked and i can't get it back. it only has the workspace file – Lonergan6275 May 03 '16 at 14:09
