Could not build module Cocoa in xcode 8

Question

I am trying to write a simple QuickLook plugin based on apple dev docs and this blog post.

But as son as I add

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

in the beginning of the *.c file I get an error: Could not build module Cocoa

Which looks like this:

I've also tried to add thos libe as a deps in the project, like this: with no luck.

I have xcode 8.2 and OS 10.11.

And just to check also: this is a .m (objective-c) file not a .c? — DDP

Cocoa frameworks should be #import'd rather than #include'd. However, #import requires an Objective-C file (.m).
