I am researching on Abode's RMSDK for iOS. I ve the SDK with all the library files. There is a sample project given in that SDK which works fine. But If I include the lib file in my own sample app its is throwing a linker error. Can any one help me out in this. Is there any sample code that i can refer regarding this SDK.
Thanks in advance
You can try to add reference to a rmservice project insteed of using lib file.
Then, you must verify all paths described in project settings is correct. I've had to placed my project in same folder of rmservice so that I don't have to change any setting.
If you still want to use it as a lib, you should perform two actions:
1) Add the lib in the build phases, on the Link Binary with libraries area. Be sure to select your target on the left side, not the project.
2) In your build settings on the Library Search Paths you should write down the path where the library resides.
For iOS, if you are doing RMSDK11, then follow the book2png in samples folder, this will allow you build you own application.
If you are doing RMSDK10, then you probably will run into 32/64 bit support problem.

I have downloaded this https://github.com/MichelDeiman/Programming-Project-4_-Smashtag-Mentions Twitter project to use the Twitter.framework it comes with. When I open it from the download, it loads fine. However, when I move the Twitter.xcodeproj to my Xcode workspace, it turns the framework red and doesn't allow me to use it.
I have searched for a solution and think it has to do with finding the correct path for the framework but have been unsuccessful. Any thoughts?
Red means it hasn't been built yet. I suspect you can't use it because it hasn't been imported in the Build settings. I'd check there first. If it's imported correctly then it should built when you build the targets that refer to it.
I am trying to do the payment using https://www.balancedpayments.com/ . They have their iPhone library for this https://github.com/balanced/balanced-ios . The problem is that there is not enough documentation on how the Balanced.framework has to be added in the XCode 4.5 project?
Download the Balanced framework.
Add Balanced.framework to your project and to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries.
Add CoreTelephony.framework to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries.
Usage:
#import <Balanced/Balanced.h>
Balanced *balanced = [[Balanced alloc] initWithMarketplaceURI:#"/v1/marketplaces/TEST-MP2autgNHAZxRWZs76RriOze"];
BPCard *card = [[BPCard alloc] initWithNumber:#"4242424242424242" expirationMonth:8 expirationYear:2025 securityCode:#"123"];
If you need more help, look at the example project they have attached...
You Just Need to add those Balanced- Classes as a static library, It will work out.
Add a Static Library to your Project.
Now add those balanced classes to your static Library.
Goto YourProject->Target->BuildPhases->LinkWithBinaryLibraries
Here add the StaticLibrary.
Hope this will help you.
Follow this issue on Github. The lack of linking Balanced.framework is related to Xcode templates. The fix is documented in the project's "Contributing" section. You need to build it.
The balanced-ios project has changed quite a bit since this question was asked. It now creates a static library instead of a framework. This change was made for the reasons described in balanced-ios Project Architecture.
To integrate balanced-ios into iOS projects, do the following:
Download the latest pre-built release zip from https://github.com/balanced/balanced-ios/releases
Copy balanced.a to your project
Add balanced.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
Add CoreTelephony.framework to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
Copy includes/balanced to your project's include folder (or create an include folder and copy includes/balanced to it) includes is automatically included in header search paths. Drag includes to your project so you can see the files from there. If you copy the include files to a location other than includes you'll probably need to add the path to User Header Search Paths in your project settings
Code usage examples can be found in the README at https://github.com/balanced/balanced-ios
I'm trying to update an app that already have the Three20 library. Now i'm using xcode 4.5 and everytime i try to make an Archive i recive this error:
Three20/Three20.h file not found
At the beginning i wasn't able to make any kind of build,but after the adding of $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/../three20 and $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/../../three20 in the Header Search Path of the build and the target settings i can make a Build in my Device. Anyway if i try to made an Archive to publish my app, the same errors returns. What i can do? I have already reinstall the last version of Three20.... I have to try this solution that i found on internet:
Go to Xcode4 Preferences (Cmd + ,) > Locations > Build Location > and select “Place build products in locations specified by targets”
In xcode 4.5 i can't approach this solution...Maybe Build Location menù is changed, i can't find the option “Place build products in locations specified by targets” .... Someone knows where i can found this setting?
At least there's someone how have made successfully an Archive on Xcode4.5 and Three20?
I also support switching away from three20, but sometimes it's not that simple.
To resolve your issues, you can try to use CocoaPods. it's a library dependencies tool that let's you add any library you need. someone added a pod for three20 few weeks ago.
That should let you build your project using the standard xcode archive process.
If you don't feel like using cocoapods, you can also build that app using the "Build for..." -> "Archiving". you can find it in the same "Product" menu. it will generate a .app file that you can submit using the Application Loader app.
you can find the .app file by secondary clicking on the target name under the "Products" folder in your project sidebar.
I did the following to make it work for me:
for the three20 static library, I used cocoapods to include the files within the main project.. it just got rid of all the trouble three20 was giving me (and they are lots..) btw i tried replacing three20 with Nimbus.. but Nimbus was lacking on some of the features that my project was using three20 for.. so Nimbus wasn't helpful.
set skip install to yes under build settings for all other sub projects/static libraries and switched the copy headers from public to project under build phases
most importantly: under the sub libraries.. under build phases i ensured that copy files destination was changed from Absolute path to products directory.
and that was it!
hint: to get an idea of the offending files that's causing your archive to create an archive file rather than an ipa do this:
Select the archive and click the Distribute button.
Select the 'Save Built Products' option.
Hit Next and Save.
Browse the created directory in Finder.
The 'libraries' subdirectory will identify the libraries that you need to set the Skip Install to Yes.
in some cases usr/local/include will identify the culprit header files you need to move from Public to Project or the files that you have to change from absolute path to products directory. but that directory (ie usr/local/include) varies depending on your sublibrary directory structure
Three20 has't update in long time.And it has many bugs.set up this framework is very hard.
you can try nimbus.It come from three20.
Nimbus' Background
Nimbus has been built with much inspiration from the Three20
framework. That being said, there are a number of fundamental problems
with Three20 that Nimbus works very hard to avoid. Among them:
Poor documentation. Spaghetti dependencies. Suffering from a "kitchen
sink" complex. A complex build structure. An enormous number of
difficult-to-solve bugs. Next-to-zero test coverage. For its
weaknesses, Three20 does provide a good deal of value through its
feature set. It is used in over 100 apps in the app store by companies
such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Posterous, Meetup, and SCVNGR.
Nimbus hopes to one day provide as much value as Three20 does on a
feature-by-feature comparison, but with the invaluable benefit of
sublime documentation and test coverage.
I am looking for a simple library ( and/or app - eventually want both ) example ( like a math library or whatever) for iOS which has a makefile for it that I can use as a template to make other makefiles from and learn. Static of course, (and dynamic if iOS supports it so I can have 2+ apps that share common code)
There is lots of incomplete and cryptic info out there but so far I havn't found any nice concise "with these source files" you create a makefile this way to build an iOS "fat" library I can import into other projects.
This would be on a Mac with the ios4 sdk installed.
It is always great to start with something that basically works.
I have created complex makefiles before for unix and windows and for other devices.
thanks.
The first link pictorially represents the process step by step that you've asked then the second link contains a package that allows a programmer to compile a make file based project

If you want to build a static library using a make file and link against it every time you build your Xcode project, you can add a "run script" build phase in your project before all the others, which runs this make file, and then add the built library to your linking phase. If you want a make file that builds the entire iOS project, I don't think it's posible (you can use the command line to compile the project without Xcode opened though).
I am developing an iPhone app and have to parse xml files in order to put them into a database. I will also be using those same xml parsers in my app so users can import their own data. I was wondering how I can extract those xml parsers into a bundle or a library so I can use them both in my iPhone app and in a command line app where I just populate a sqlite3 database.
Thanks in advance!
Create a static library project, then use the interproject dependency feature of Xcode to build them in the correct order and link the app with the static library. You'll need to have a common build directory set for all the projects for this to work correctly (at least you did around Xcode 3.0, didn't check if this is still a problem with 3.1).
You can set the build directory from the target or project's build settings (in the Get Info pane). To create an interpoject dependency:
Drag the library project into the application project's Files & Groups pane.
Set up target dependency in the application target's Get Info pane. Make it dependent on the library's target.
Drag the library product in the application target's Link With Libraries step. You can find the library product by expanding the library project within the app project's Files & Groups (click the arrow).
Sounds more complicated than it is. It isn't much.
(Small extras: yes, you need a common build folder as indicated in the Xcode Project Management Guide, and the Xcode Build System Guide can help you "get" Xcode's build system, which -- at the cost of starting a religion war -- I think is one of the most flexible and simple build systems out there.)
