This error usually occurs when the linker is unable to find the required symbols (in this case, classes and keys) to link your code correctly.

💡 Solution:

The good news is that fixing this error is relatively simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Check Framework Import: Make sure you have properly imported the SKPSMTPMessage framework in your project. Double-check if the framework is present and selected in your project's "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" section.

2. Objective-C Classes: The error indicates that the linker is unable to find the SKPSMTPMessage class. Ensure that the necessary Objective-C classes (like SKPSMTPMessage) are added to your project. You can do this by manually dragging and dropping the framework folder into your project. Be sure to select the "Copy items if needed" option and check both the project and target checkboxes.

3. Missing Keys: The error also mentions missing keys like _kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey, _kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey, and _kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey. Make sure these keys are defined properly and accessible in your project.

4. Clean and Rebuild: After making these changes, clean your project by selecting Product -> Clean Build Folder in Xcode. Then rebuild your project by selecting Product -> Build (or using the Command+B shortcut).
