iPhone "_OBJC_CLASS_" compilation error - iphone

I am trying to compile my project in Xcode. But i am getting the following error.
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_InfrastructureBenchmarkingViewController", referenced from:
objc-class-ref-to-InfrastructureBenchmarkingViewController in RootViewController.o
4 more of similar type.
Can't understand the meaning of this error?
Small Clarification: Actually the _InfrastructureBenchmarkingViewController was a module in another project. The files pertaining to that I have copied into the new application.

Sometimes it happens when the project definition file (.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj) is somehow messed-up, eg. because of XCode crash or project is taken from someone else, etc.
So try removing InfrastructureBenchmarkingViewController (Delete the file, then choose "Delete reference", so it is not deleted physically from disc) and then again add this file to project (Add > Existing file from the project context menu).
It worked for me several times.

you need to link in whatever framework _InfrastructureBenchmarkingViewController is a part of. Try going to the project window, right click on frameworks and choose add existing framework ....
you should be able to find the framework including _InfrastructureBenchmarkingViewController there.

Seems you have some object files that are not valid anymore. Use the clean option from menu and build it again. That should solve it.

File name used twice Xcode

Error
I'm trying to use the CoreData functionality but when Xcode creates the two files (xx+CoreDataClass.swift and xx+CoreDataProperties.swift) Xcode gives me this error. The problem is: there's xx+CoreDataClass.swift is in the project's directory and in another directory that it creates when it compiles... so this error persist even if I delete the second one.
What should I do??
This is most often bugs in Xcode where it gets confused about generated files (I literally ran into this exact problem this morning....)
The solution generally is to close Xcode, delete DerivedData, and reopen Xcode.
DerivedData is in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/. You can remove the whole directory, or just the subdirectory related to your project.
"Delete DerivedData" is an incredibly common solution to Xcode problems, and has been for years. Most of us have some kind of alias to simplify it. This is mine:
alias cdd='cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/'
This kind of error generated some times because of your codegen property of Managed Class. You have to change your codegen to Manual/None from attributor.

Finding the right way to include static libraries in Xcode

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.

Xcode 4 - renamed/deleted file, yet get 'file not found' error

I just used Xcode's refactoring tool to rename a core data class from Player to Person. After fixing about 100 errors resulting from using dot notation that Xcode missed in the rename, I got to the last one:
Player.m - Lexical or Preprocessor issue - 'Person.h' not found
Player.m no longer exists in the project, and shows up as deleted (empty icon) in the error. Obviously, since I got rid of it, I don't want it to exist anymore!
To fix this, I have tried re-adding an old copy of Player.h and Player.m, and also cleaning. I have checked the Build Phases->Compile Sources section, and Person.m is there, Player.m is not. Person.h does in fact exist.
Not sure if it matters, but I am using mogenerator to generate my core data classes. Also, this is my third xcdatamodel version. Versions 1 and 2 used Player.h.
Here is a screenshot of the error:
Try clean build, if that doesn't work, restart Xcode, if that doesn't, delete the DerivedData directory, maybe even reboot.
Xcode sometimes gets confused.
You can try to do a super clean (not sure what the real term is) by hitting Cmd+Alt+Shift+K. This performs a clean and removes everything from the build folder.
Well I had a very similar problem and solve it removing the missing compile source of my project settings. to do that follow these steps
Click at the project page. This page contains the general settings
of your app
Select Build phases.
In Build Phases section, select compile sources.
If there is missing some class or file or something that needs to be compiled.
Select water mark file and click the minus sign at the bottom of this section.
Just click and the project may run. I hope this help others.

Importing frameworks on xcode 4 issue

Lately any framework I attempt to add to my project fails with "No such file or directory".
Eg for GameKit:
<GameKit/GameKit.h>: No such file or directory
The strange thing is that the frameworks that I added some time ago are found, but if i try to add the same framework now, I get this error. Where should I look? Hope I don't have to re-install xcode for this:(
To add a framework I use the steps described here (to remove the suspicion that I don't add it in the right manner):
How to "add existing frameworks" in Xcode 4?
Also I've checked here:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.3.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/GameKit.framework/
and the framework does exist. The base SDK is set to 4.3(latest), so that's not the problem either.
I'm not sure if this is going to work, but I use another method to add frameworks, which is go to your project (The one with the xcodeproj icon), then click on your target. There, you can add the frameworks you want.
If that doesn't work, then try go to /Library/Frameworks to see if your framework you want is still there. If it's there and it's still getting that error, try manually adding the framework which is the add other button when you add a framework.
It must not exist. It either got deleted or never existed to begin with, which makes me think it must have got deleted. Sorry, buddy.

Build Error - missing required architecture i386 in file

I'm getting this error when building my iPhone application:
ld: warning: in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.1.sdk/System/Library
/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit, missing required architecture i386 in file
It goes the same for all the frameworks in my app. It's very weird since this was not happening earlier.
This happens when you add a framework to your project and unintentionally copy the framework into your project directory.
The fix is to check your project directory (where you store your project on disk) for any iphone SDK *.Framework files and delete them.
Project will build fine afterwards.
I had this same problem, and the solution turned out to be an easy fix. Backup then open project.pbxproj (located inside your project file bundle) in TextMate or TextEdit and search for the section titled "/* Begin XCBuildConfiguration section */". Look for a key named FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS and delete it and it's contents (once per build configuration, so I removed it in two places). Here is an example of what I deleted:
FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = (
"$(inherited)",
"\"$(DEVELOPER_DIR)/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks\"",);
My project now build for both the iPhone device and the iPhoneSimulator.
What has happened here is that Xcode has mysteriously added a "Framework Search Paths" entry that points to a particular iPhone device SDK. For example, mine was recently set to:
$(DEVELOPER_DIR)/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.2.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
This leads the compiler to find frameworks of the incorrect architecture. Removing any values under the "Framework Search Paths" key in your target's build settings will resolve the issue.
I just wanted to mention that in XCode if you go to "Edit Project Settings"
and find "Search Paths" There is a field for "Framework Search Paths". Updating this should fix the problem, without having to hack the project file!
Cheers!

Check that you didn't copy the framework into your project when you added it. If you copied it, it can't find the original paths. To fix this problem. Delete the AVFoundation framework from your frameworks folder in your project, then add it again, but this time, make sure you don't have copy check marked.
This fixed it for me!
I fixed it in a different way.The reason why i was getting this error was that i added security.framework twice in my project.I was not able to see security framework in xcode ,i opened the project in finder and found this framework which i deleted and problem solved.
If your app is meant to run on the device, make sure you are not trying to run in it on the simulator. May sound obvious, but check anyway.
Though it is possible that something got deleted, it has been my experience that something gets screwed up in the project file. I have yet to pin down what that "something" is. I've had similar issues when the SDK installation is just fine. There are a couple of options.
First, add all of your files to a new project. This seems to usually work. Kind of a pain, though.
Second, you can right-click project in XCode/Get Info/Build/Library Search Paths. Add new paths similar to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.1.sdk/usr/lib. Add appropriate versions of that string for each version (2.2.1, etc) and platform (simulator or iPhoneOS). Perform a similar action for Framework Search Paths if frameworks are your problem.
Third, which is more work but more reliable, is to open project.pbxproj from within MyProject.xcodeproj (Textmate is good for this). Look for "/* Begin XCBuildConfiguration section */", then "LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS" and "FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS". Add or modify the paths as appropriate, and save the file.
In any case, a pain in the butt, and I'd sure like to pin-point the cause because I've had this happen a couple of times. Project builds fine, then just up and refuses to do so with what seems to be little reason.
"Edit Project Settings" and find "Search Paths" There is a field for "Framework Search Paths". delete all!!
It just happened here to me as well. Thanks to a great partner we found the answer. Your Xcode may be pointing to the simulator ..change it to a IOS device instead ..built smooth after ....
Run the file command on the framework from Terminal:
file /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.1.sdk/System/Library /Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit
You should get back a message telling you which architectures the UIKit binary is compatible with. If you don't see "i386" listed, then you've somehow managed to remove the i386 version of UIKit, which will mean that you can't build for the simulator.To fix that, you'll have to re-install the SDK.
If you get some other error, hopefully it'll help you figure out what the actual problem is.
I just want to let you know that In my case, I was having the same problem, I realized that I had an older Xcode folder called Xcode3.1.3 I just rename it because it was an older version and that did the magic for me.
Check your library search paths in your target settings. Sometimes goofy libraries get entered in there and this will give you a similar error.
You can remove all entries in this section.
I'd just experienced something slightly different, because I work on my own library (WM_GSRecognizerLib), but the error is the same.
What'd happen: due to some updates, the path targeting the lib to include (.a) was from the "Debug-iphoneos" folder (where it is generated). Compiling for Generic iOS Devices worked fine, but not for simulator, complaining for the missing i386 architecture.
What I did for this issue, is to also include the binaries from the "Debug-iphonesimulator" folder.
It can help for this topic, because the explanation is here: devices require binaries for arm64/armv7/armv7s, while simulator does need i386.
My solution was to set on simulator target debug YES, just look on git status to see the new line added as architecture only on .project. if you don't set this the build will run to all architectures and will show some missing architecture like i386 or other.
NOTE THAT obviously the main issue is to use some framework that implements some kind of specific architecture.
I too got the same error am using xcode version 4.0.2 so what i did was selected the xcode project file and from their i selected the Target option their i could see the app of my project so i clicked on it and went to the build settings option.
Their in the search option i typed Framework search path, and deleted all the settings and then clicked the build button and that worked for me just fine,
Thanks and Regards
