I am trying to add pluralizable localization to my Xcode project, using Xcode 11.2.1
I followed the steps in this tutorial: https://medium.com/#vitaliikuznetsov/plurals-localization-using-stringsdict-in-ios-a910aab8c28c , which is a pretty basic instruction on how these things work. Mine, however, did not work, SO, I tried the following:
0) Actually running the tutorial code to make sure it works on my copy of Xcode. It does.
1) Copying the example Localizable.stringsdict from the tutorial into my program, and using
the keys from said tutorial in my calls, in case I had made a bad Localizable.stringsdict
or was calling it wrong. This failed.
2) Creating the Localizable.stringsdict as a property list, as some older questions suggested, instead of a Stringsdict file when creating it new, and copying the known 'good xml' of the example plist into it. This failed.
3) I tried removing all localized content from the project, and re-adding the strings file and the stringsdict file. Now it can't find either of them.
Clearly I must be missing some configuration, some step, some way of saying HEY XCODE LOCALIZE THESE. When I look at the 'Localizations' tab in the Project, there is only 1 file localized, for "Base"
Yesterday, I succeeded to localize Swift App using this tutorial.
Please try to follow this tutorial. Thanks
Number 4 was the clue here. My project has a lot of targets. Add your stringsdict file to the targets it needs to be added to. Derp.
I added the dict file to the proper target and everything works fine.
Always check the obvious stuff first.
Open your localized stringdict file, then in the right inspector click on Identity and Type you will see localization block with a button, click on it and project will recognize your file now

I am working on a Swift playground that contains multiple files in the Sources folder alongside the main file. When I type something, for instance, "UI", in the main file, I get the expected autocomplete suggestions. However, when I do the same in files in the Sources folder, I get a "dumb" autocomplete menu as seen in this question: Xcode 9 Autocomplete Not Working 100% - Partially Working
I have tried deleting DerivedData as suggested in the above question, and have even gone to the lengths of reinstalling Xcode entirely. However, the problem has not gone away. I have created a new playground to ensure it is not specific to this project, and the same problem occurs.
Edit: I just tried the same thing on a different Mac and the same problem was observed. I suppose this is simply a bug in Xcode that has nothing to do with this particular installation or project.
In order to enable autocompletion, you can embed your Playground in a regular Xcode project (e.g. an iOS application). I recommend creating a dummy project for that purpose. Simply drag and drop your playground in this dummy project and make sure to check "Add to target".
Then you can navigate to
Target -> Build Phases -> Compile Sources -> + -> Add other
and add all the files from your source folder. Please note, that you don't need to actually copy the files, a reference is enough for this purpose.
After this process all your source files are built against this dummy target and you can use autocompletion as usual. As far as I know, this is the best practice for debugging Playgrounds right now. Anyway I am curious, if there is an easier way to achieve that.
Swift playgroundbooks do not support autocomplete. Try writing the code in a regular Swift playground, and then move the code over to the playgroundbook.
This works for me every time,
Restart/Start -> Open any existing Xcode project(use autocomplete) -> Open playground
Autocomplete will work as usual
First of all I have to say that I'm new with Xcode and I found some things a bit comfusing for beginners.
For now I want to include SQLite support in my test app. I found the wrapper "FMDB" which seems very easy to use.
I was already able to include the .m and .h files into my project and setting the header line for bridging to Swift.
But if I build my app then I will get some link errors. I think the problem is that the sqlite library is missing. But I've no idea to include it. So I searched the web for some tutorials but all I found seems too old and didn't help me.
What I've already done are the following steps: I selected the top item of my project in the Project Explorer. Then I selected my build target and switched to the tab "Build Phases". But now I see no possibility to include the libsqlite.a file. I followed some suggestions and typed the keyword "sqlite" in the search field but I only get the message "No results found."
I'm using Xcode 8 + Swift 3 on Mac Sierra.
I think that U should find libsqlite.a file in the filesystem and only then add libsqlite.a to project by right click on project files in Xcode 8 and selecting "add files to " and select you .a library from system location like Homebrew's sqlite root folder, only then you can select this static library in "+" linking menu. Please read this answer:

I solved my problem by including sqlite3.c and sqlite3.h from sqlite.org so every wrapper works fine.
First off, I'm a Mac OSX newbie, both using and programming, but it's been thrust upon me. My project is moving along nicely, but I need to unzip a file, and it looks like SSZipArchive seems like the way to go. I want to manually add it to my project, so that it stays all together in my source code control system. Others, esp. the release engineer, shouldn't need to do anything, and we need to have all the source code local.
I've tried a million ways and back, only to keep getting the dreaded "No Such module" error. I've researched for a couple days now, and still no closer. So I'm starting from scratch in a new project to say what I'm doing and to plead for some help here. All this is being done on an El Capitan laptop, using Xcode 7.3.1, with Swift 2.2.
Create a Cocoa Application project, calling it 'ziptest', using Swift, nothing else checked. Build it just for fun.
Drag 'n' Drop the SSZipArchive folder found in the master.zip downloaded from the SSZipArchive GitHub site into my project. I'm not sure where it should go, or if it matters - top level, between ziptest project icon and the ziptest group or inside the ziptest group. But I'll put it inside the ziptest group. Now I'm faced with a new question - for the "Added folders", do I want to "Create groups" or "Create folder references". I do copy the items, because, as I said, I want to add them to SCCS later. I saw somewhere here on Stackexchange to make sure it is Group, so that's what I'll do. Build again and it still works.
I know I need a "bridging header" file, so I'll create it. I thought at some point, Xcode asked if I wanted to create it, but the above step doesn't do that. After much experimention, I found that if I d'n'd the SSZipArchive.m/.h files directly, it asks me. It doesn't put anything into it, but at least it creates it and updates the Build Settings. But I do this now manually by right clicking on the ziptest group folder, select New File... and create an empty Header File called "ziptest-Bridging-Header.h", following the pattern from the Xcode created one, being sure to check off the ziptest Target.
I add:
#import "SSZipArchive.h"
to that file. And building still works.
I added ziptest-Bridging-Header.h as the Objective-C Bridging Header in the Build Settings. And building still works.
Now comes the moment of truth. I add:
#import SSZipArchive
to AppDelegate.swift and I get the dreaded No such module 'SSZipArchive'
What am I doing wrong?
Edited to add: Oh, I also added libz.dylib to the Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries part. Doesn't help, of course, because we haven't even gotten to the link phase yet.
I am trying to create an app using three20 for a photo viewer. When I follow the instructions on their site (which is now simply running a python script) it seems to behave correctly but then when I try to build I get a "No such file or directory" error for using #import <Three20/Three20.h>.
I am pretty sure the header search path is correct, but I can't seem to get it working, even when I follow exact tutorials online.
Has anyone seen this problem before and know how to fix it?
Have you checked to make sure you actually have added three20 into your dir. as I remember having a similar problem, when I tried to use three20 which was due to the fact it wasn't in the right place, when I thought it was.
It sounds like you haven't imported the files correctly. Have another look at where you added the files to you project, if you have at all. (If not, you need to drag them into your project first!)
If you try to compile the project without the file added to the project, it will fail. Simply adding a path is not enough.
You need to drag it into Xcode...
Add it to the project...
And then your code should build.
I hope this helps!
I'm trying to create an ad-hoc build of an iPhone app for beta testing.
On their end, they're seeing an error like the following:
"The info.plist for application at xxx specifies a CFBundleExecutable of (null), which does not exist"
Here is an excerpt from the actual info.plist:
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>
And it clearly is not null.
What am I doing wrong here?
The WORKING SOLUTION is this (and only this):
In Xcode, choose “Executables” from the project hierarchy. Click your project executable then press Command-I. Choose the General tab and set the working directory to “Build Products directory”.
Found via BrainwashInc, who credits MacHackShack. I thought this valuable information was way too important to leave floating around on random blog.
It seems like sometimes XCode may flip this setting, as I suddenly started having this issue, and the fix above repaired it. Changing it back to "project directory" reproduces the issue for me, every time.
I also had to restart XCode to get the debugger to work once this fix installed the app, that may be unrelated.
I don't think there is ONE working solution to this. I found several solutions that doesn't work for me. At the end, I did find one solution.
By deleting whatever I had in the "Producs" folder in xCode I managed to get it working. I am using xCode 3.2.1.
Note: I did the change regarding "Build Products directory” above as well, perhaps both solutions needs to be implemented, up to you to try it out.
This is, to say the least, quite anoying. As a beginner, things are complicated enough without bugs in the SDK...
Hope this will help someone out there!
Cheers
It sounds like you're looking at the info.plist in the project not the built product.
The '${EXECUTABLE_NAME}' in the project info.plist is just a place holder for a variable in the build script. You need to look at the info.plist in your built product to see what is listed there. It sounds like for some reason, the build script is not populating the field as it should.
You might actually check that the contents of the application package actually has an executable. Sounds weird I know but a few years ago I mucked about with my build setting son a project and ended up with a product without an executable. Everything else, the package, resources, string files etc was there just no actual program.
This is a know issue of SDK:
Changing an iPhone Executable's working directory from “Build Products directory” may cause the application not to install properly with the error message “The Info.plist for application at (null) specifies a CFBundleExecutable of (null), which does not exist.”
as you can see here:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/releasenotes/General/RN-iPhoneSDK-3/index.html
For me, it worked to change the working directory.
I created the problem deleting by hand the build directory.
