Xcode cannot find any frameworks

I am new to Xcode and trying to learn how to use Metal for my internship. I am trying to link the binaries of Foundation.framework, Metal.framework, and Quartcore.framework. But whenever I try to build it always fails to find any of them. I have my Header Search Path as $(PROJECT_DIR)/metal-cpp, I tried adding some for the Frameworks but that did not work either. I do have the binaries linked in the Build Phases, so I don't know what else I could be missing.

Did you try to simply import ?

import Foundation
import Metal
import QuartzCore

If you're new to Xcode, it would be better to start with a basic project template instead of Metal-cpp. Metal-cpp is an advanced topic. You don't need that to use Metal. Just write your code in Swift instead.
