XCode Compiler Error: ld: library not found for -loauth - iphone

I'm trying to use the Twitter libraries and after adding liboauth.a and adding oauthconsumeriphonelib to my header search path, I'm now down to 1 compilation error, which I can't seem to get rid of.
ld: library not found for -loauth
Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1
Anyone know what could be causing this?

Continuing to What Robin suggested You also need to set the Library Search Path. Right Click the Target File and Choose -- Get Info else you can also get the same by choosing Edit Actice Target Under the Project Tab in XCode. Look for Library Search Path and add this "$(SRCROOT)/Twitter+OAuth/SAOAuthTwitterEngine" Where Twitter+OAuth/SAOAuthTwitterEngine is the directory path for Twitter Library in project folder.
I hope this will fix the problem.

Well #Nefsu you need to add those libraries to your project by adding an existing framework and then giving the path of the libraries you want to use.
And if you have already added the libraries by drag and drop, than dont remove them just add existing framework by right clicking on groups and folders and add the libraries from the folder and you will be done

I discovered this HIGHLY misleading message while trying to upgrade to the new Google Analytics library.
In my case the problem was having TWO CONFLICTING COPIES of the library. They were in different folders but both were listed in my App's Library Build Paths (under Build Settings).
Moving all the deprecated library files out of the folder ended up doing the trick and made the mysterious error messages go away.

undefined reference for architecture i386 [duplicate]

This problem has been driving me crazy, and I can't work out how to fix it...
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_deflateEnd", referenced from:
-[ASIDataCompressor closeStream] in ASIDataCompressor.o
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_ASIDataDecompressor", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in ASIHTTPRequest.o
"_deflate", referenced from:
-[ASIDataCompressor compressBytes:length:error:shouldFinish:] in ASIDataCompressor.o
"_deflateInit2_", referenced from:
-[ASIDataCompressor setupStream] in ASIDataCompressor.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1
I think it has to do with:
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
But I have added: libz.1.2.3.dylib and it's not helping, anyone got any ideas?
Common Causes
The common causes for "Undefined symbols for architecture armv7" are:
You import a header and do not link against the correct library. This is common, especially for headers for libraries like QuartzCore since it is not included in projects by default. To resolve:
Add the correct libraries in the Link Binary With Libraries section of the Build Phases.
If you want to add a library outside of the default search path you can include the path in the Library Search Paths value in the Build Settings and add -l{library_name_without_lib_and_suffix} (eg. for libz.a use -lz) to the Other Linker Flags section of Build Settings.
You copy files into your project but forgot to check the target to add the files to. To resolve:
Open the Build Phases for the correct target, expand Compile Sources and add the missing .m files. If this is your issue please upvote Cortex's answer below as well.
You include a static library that is built for another architecture like i386, the simulator on your host machine. To resolve:
If you have multiple library files from your libraries vendor to include in the project you need to include the one for the simulator (i386) and the one for the device (armv7 for example).
Optionally, you could create a fat static library that contains both architectures.
Original Answer:
You have not linked against the correct libz file. If you right click the file and reveal in finder its path should be somewhere in an iOS sdk folder. Here is mine for example
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.3.sdk/usr/lib
I recommend removing the reference and then re-adding it back in the Link Binary With Libraries section Build Phases of your target.
I had a similar issue last night and the problem, was related to the fact that I had dragged a class from the Finder to my project in Xcode.
The solution was to go the the Build Phases tab and then the Compile Sources and make sure you drag the class to the list.
I had a similar issue and I had to check "Build Active Architecture Only" on each of the Project configurations (Debug, Release and Deployment) and in the Build Settings of the Target.
Another possible cause of "undefined symbol" linker errors is attempting to call a C function from a .mm file. In this case you'll need to use extern "C" {...} when you import the header files.
Linker error calling C-Function from Objective-C++
I had a similar issue with that. The class name after _OBJC_CLASS_$_ was actually my class. The reason was I didn't tick "Add to Target" when I drag the source code files into navigation list.
My solution was:
delete the class from the navigation list and choose "remove reference only"
drag the source code files again and make sure the tick box for "add to Target" is ticked. The tick box is just under "Copy if needed" and "Create group".
There is usually a alias without the version identifier that is linked to the current version, in this case libz.dylib is linked to libz.1.2.5.dylib. Use the base alias instead of the versioned one.
I had the same problem when I use admob library, I fixed it changing "Architectures" to "Standard architectures armv7, armv7s" without including 64-bit.
Under Target -> Build Settings -> Apple LLVM compiler language:
setting 'C++ Language Dialect' and 'C++ Standard Library' to Compiler default helped solve it.
I only added the libz.1.2.5.dylib to my project and it worked like a charm.
Steps -
Go to Build Phases.
Link Binary With library - use the '+' button to choose frameworks and libraries to add.
Select libz.1.2.5.dylib from the list.
Build and run.
I had a similar issue and saw errors related to "std::"
I changed Build Settings -> Apple LVM 5.0 - Language C++ -> C++ Standard Library
from libc++ (LLVM C++ Standard Library with C++11 support)
to libstdc++ (GNU C++ Standard Library)
If you have the flag -ObjC under your Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags and you're getting this issue, consider removing it. If you intentionally added it because you need to load some Obj-C code from a static library that wouldn't normally be loaded otherwise, IE, an Obj-C category, then you should use -force_load <path> instead of -ObjC.
<path> should be relative to your Xcode project directory. IE, if your directory structure looks like this:
iOSProject
+ iOSAPI.framework
+ iOSAPI
+ iOSAPI.xcodeproj
Then you should have this flag set for Other Linker Flags:
-force_load iOSAPI.framework/iOSAPI
If you want to include multiple libraries like that, then you should include a separate -force_load line for each of them.
-force_load iOSAPI.framework/iOSAPI
-force_load another.framework/another
Probably some classes are missing from your target. This usually happens when you rename/remove/add new classes files to your project. To fix add the newly added classes to some targets.
Select the class in the Project Navigator (right sidebar) , open the Utilities sidebar (right sidebar), from the Utilities select the File Inspector (file like icon), under the Target Membership tab tick your targets. This is all to avoid the "Remove reference" and add again with ticking "Add to targets" trick.
So: Select Class -> Utilities (File Inspector) -> Target Membership -> Tick the targets you want.
I have have multiple #interfaces in the .h file and hadn't yet included the all of the corresponding #implementation directives. Make sure that they are all balanced out.
Here's how I got this problem:
I added a .h, .m and NIB from another project by dragging them onto my project navigator. Xcode didn't add them to the Build Phases properly.
Check my answer because I had a similar problem that I was able to solve by doing some steps.
if you're dealing with the iOS5 upgrade, I found that for compiling a project written to target 4.3, I could just rename libz.1.2.3.dynlib in the Project Navigator to libz.1.2.5.dynlib and it compiled.
My iPhoneOS50SDK/usr/lib folder has no libz.1.2.3.dynlib--don't know whether it's a beta thing or just natural upgrade.
Go to your project, click on Build phases, Compile sources, Add GameCenterManager.m to the list.
This fixed my problem: The dependency I am using is not supporting armv7. So I had no other option than to remove it. Armv7 is used for only very old iphones anyway (like iphone 4).
Go 'Build Settings / All'
Set 'Valid Architectures' to 'arm64 arm64e'
I didn't find this suggestion here so here it goes:
if your project has more than one target (ie one for OSX and one for iOS) then you must link the relevant libraries for each target.. so for example in my case I needed AudioToolbox.. I had to add it once for OSX and once for iOS (under the frameworks folder, you must have a duplicate of each library for each target.. if you see only one.. then that's a red flag)
I was facing an issue with PJSIP libraries,
Tried the following in other linker flags in project and able to resolve the error:
-framework
Foundation
-framework
UIKit
Above linker flags are used in Siphone Project over github. These settings will help you resolve problems related to linking of C++ libraries.
Finally i've figured it out, I solved this issue by adding absent framework to target->Build Phases->Link Binary With Libraries
I once had this problem. I realized that while moving a class, I had overwritten the .mm file with .h file on the destination folder.
Fixing that issue fixed the error.
I received the 'Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:' error when trying to compile a project that had the target build setting for 'C++ Standard Library' set to 'libc++' (necessary as the project was using some features from C++ 11), and the project included a sub-project that had the same setting set to 'libstdc++' (or compiler default as it is currently).
Changing the sub-project's 'C++ Standard Library' setting to libc++ fixed it, but only after first setting the deployment target for the sub-project to 5.0 or above (5.0 is necessary for libc++).
I give you more suggestions that you can check when other common suggestions are not help.
If you link with other project(libxxx.a) you might sometimes meet strange problem which you can find the symbol with tools like nm but they just can not find the symbols in ld. Then you should check if the two projects are built in the same flags, some of them may affect the binary format.
check c++ compiler.
check c++ dialect setting.
check c++ runtime type support. (-frtti/-fnortti)
check if there is .a with the same name appears elsewhere, could be beyond the wanted file in the link path list. remove them.
I got this problem when I run app on iphone5s, it was solved by add arm64 to Architectures.
I had the same problem. I tried every thing from the huge list of answer but in the end my problem was:
I'm working with openCV so I need to combine C++ code in my code. To do this you should change the files which use objective-c and C++ to .mm
I didn't changed one file and this file has no connection to the C++ code but I had to change it.
I had this issue, when installing shareKit. It worked in the simulator, but not on the device. I removed -all_load from the Other Linker Flag and everything works fine in both simulator and iphone device.
In my case, I'd added a framework that must be using Objective C++. I found this post:
XCode .m vs. .mm
that explained how the main.m needed to be renamed to main.mm so that the Objective-C++ classes could be compiled, too.
That fixed it for me.
I use to face that issue when the module (file .m) is not in the target that I am working with.
For me the problem was that i forget to set value for my constants in the .m (implementation)
file const kFooKey = #"Foo";
I also added files through Dragging and Dropping. What I did, I removed references of all the files (Excluding frameworks) then added them again properly via Add Files To Project option, problem gone.

Framework not found GoogleMaps sdk in iOS

I want to use google map to existing(not a new one) iPhone project.Now i am using Google map ios sdk and i successfully added google map framework to my project.But i got error like this
ld: framework not found GoogleMaps
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
How to solve this issue.I am using xcode4.5 and google map iOS sdk version is 1.5. When i am creating new project with google map iOS sdk then no error getting for me.Error only for existing iOS Project.Please help me.
I solved my issue
You need to do this
Click on your project (targets)
Click on Build Settings
Under Framework search paths (set your framework path)
Following information for getting framework search paths
Right click on your framework folder (for ex: GoogleMaps.framework)
select Get info
copy the path from General->where and paste this path in your framework search path (path should contain in single line)
Good luck
I encountered a scenario in which I had to import a project that was using Google Maps and noticed the same problem - module: "Google Maps" not found.
To solve this problem it was necessary to delete Podfile.lock and Podfile folder and re-install the pods again. Good luck !
You can also :
- remove GoogleMaps from Podfile
- pod install
- add GoogleMaps to your Podfile again
- pod install
This solution works for me, you can also check the search paths a well.
Clean your project. The shortcut is command + shift + k. This will clear information that xcode has stored that might imply that the sdk isn't included.
Also press the project icon at the top of the hierarchy of files, press the target that is your project, press build phases, open link with binary libraries, and make sure that the google maps sdk is in there. If it is not, press + and add it in.
Follow the steps :
Download GoogleMaps-iOS-1.1.0.zip from their site
Unzip the file. You now have a GoogleMaps-iOS-1.1.0 folder
In that folder you have a GoogleMaps.framework folder.
Copy or move the GoogleMaps.framework folder to inside your project folder (in Finder).
Drag the GoogleMaps.framework folder onto your Frameworks group in Xcode.
In the options sheet, uncheck "Copy items into destination group's folder". Make sure your target is checked in "Add to targets". Click OK.
(Note that you can also do this the other way, by not copying it into your project folder and checking "Copy items into destination group's folder". Xcode will copy the folder itself.)
Import using #import "GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h". The angle bracket usually work too, but in this case it should use quotes.
From : <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h> file not found Google Maps SDK for iOS
my problem was fixed by adding in:
build settings
Framework Search Paths
clickable and add the following lines:
"${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Base/Frameworks"
"${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks"
If you use Pods
Left menu > Pods > Pods > choose Framework > right menu > copy path from "ios/....."
My: ios/Pods/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMaps.framework
Then Project > Build Setting > Framework Search Path > Click on
$(PROJECT_DIR)/ios/Pods/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMapsCore.framework
Sometimes it happens when you are migrating the code from one system to another so your Framework search paths look empty at this moment, so one simple solution I try is to reinstall the podfile and it works for me.
I've been struggling with this issue for hours; I'm using CocoaPods, Swift and Xcode 6.1.1. I followed all the steps for including GoogleMaps in my project carefully, tried many different things like removing symbolic links in the downloaded package or manually linking the binaries in build phases or trying #include "GoogleMaps.h", #include "GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h" and "#include <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h> in my bridge file, none of that worked... Finally used CocoaPods instead of including the framework myself and it worked! Hope it helps someone out there:
In the Podfile:
pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-SDK', '~> 1.9.2'
And in your Bridge file:
#import "GoogleMaps.h"
Delete derived data and delete Podfile.lock file and then run pod install.
Maybe it'll be useful for anybody, next steps helped me:
1. Delete "Headers" and "GoogleMaps" folders manually (from the Finder).
2. Run 'pod install'
3. Re-build the project in Xcode.
In my case, I forgot that I need to open the workspace file with pods, not the project.

lexical or preprocessor issue file not found occurs while archiving?

I am new to this iPhone development and i have almost completed my first application but when i try for creating an archive it gives an error lexical or preprocessed issue file not found But it runs fine in simulator and also has also tested on device. I have included SDwebimage architecture for lazy loading of image in table view.Can any tell me what is the issue?
Few things to try, Ensure the Framework and all it's headers are imported into your project properly.
Also in your Build Settings set YES to Always search user paths, and make sure your User header paths are pointing to the Framework.
Finally, Build->Clean and Restart Xcode.
Hope this helps !
UPDATE: According to SDWebImage's installation, it's required you make a modification to Header Search Path and not User header paths, As seen below.
Have you done this as well? I suggest slowly, re-doing all the installation steps from the beginning.
Spaces in a folder name in your header search path can cause this problem. Make sure the folders in your project do not have spaces in their names.
My project was building fine until I updated to Xcode 10.1. After the Xcode update, started getting Lexical or preprocessor Issue errors on build. Some XCDataModel header files could not be found.
This fixed the issue.
Go to Build Settings, Header Search Paths
Change the appropriate value from $(SRCROOT) non-recursive to recursive.
This ensures that subfolders are also searched for headers during build.
I had this same issue now and found that my sub-projects 'Public Header Folder Path' was set to an incorrect path (when compared with what my main project was using as its 'Header Search Path' and 'User Header Search Path').
e.g.
My main project had the following:
Header Search Paths
Debug "build/Debug-iphoneos/../../Headers"
Release "build/Debug-iphoneos/../../Headers"
And the same for the User Header Search Paths
Whereas my sub-project (dependency) had the following:
Public Header Folder Path
Debug "include/BoxSDK"
Release "include/BoxSDK"
Changing the 'Public Header Folder Path' to "../../Headers/BoxSDK" fixed the problem since the main project was already searching that folder ('../../Headers').
PS: I took some good screenshots, but I am not allowed to post an answer with images until I hit reputation 10 :(
I had this problem after changed project name. I used all the methods mentioned on the internet but still doesn't work. Then I realized that all the header files not found was from cocoapods, so I re-installed the cocoapods using pod install, and thus solved the problem.
Hope this could help.
In my case I was developing a framework and had a test application inside it, what was missing is inside the test application target -> build settings -> Framework Search Paths:
The value needed to be the framework path (the build output - .framework) which is in my case:
"../FrameworkNameFolder/" - the 2 points indicates to go one folder up.
Also, inside the test application target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries:
I had to remove the framework file, clean the project, add the framework file again, compile and this also solved the issue.
The new version contain fix for this, feel free to update.
Or you can just replace
#include "iPhone_View.h"
with
#if UNITY_VERSION < 450
#include "iPhone_View.h"
#endif
Delete the unit testing from your project follow the below steps this will solve the issue.
select your project from the project navigator to open the project editor. From the target delete the test from the left side of the project editor and press the Delete key.
I know this is old, but I'm gonna chime in anyway because it may be useful to someone. If you can still see the file in Finder, then click on the file in your project and delete it, selecting "remove references" and not "move to trash".
Once the reference is removed, drag and drop the file from finder into your project again and it should sort itself out.
Just adding another thing that worked for me :
react-native link
Evidently my ReactNative files were no longer there. I could figure that out by clicking on
Build Phases -> Link Binary with Libraries ->
Then right clicking a file I knew was responsible for React, and clicking Show In Finder .
But nothing opened. So assuming the library went missing, I just ran the above command which relinked everything again.
Also if you havn't, try :
rm -rf node_modules/ && npm install
This happened to me after I renamed a file. For some reason it was still looking for the file with the old name. What I did was create the file that it was complaining about and added to the project. Then I did a Project->clean, then Project->Build and verified the error was gone. Then I selected the newly added files and deleted them. This removed all references and I no longer see the error.
I fixed mine. The fb sdk downloaded (from my browser) as 'FacebookSDKs-iOS-4.22.0' -- I just had to rename the folder to FacebookSDK. So now in Build
Settings --> Framework Search Paths
the path looks something like /Users/.../Documents/FacebookSDK (where as before it was /Users/.../Documents/FacebookSDKs-iOS-4.22.0)
Hope this helps!
For what it's worth, my problem was completely unrelated to the error Xcode was giving. I stumbled onto a solution by deleting the .h reference, compiling, adding the reference back and compiling again. The actual error then became evident.

Cannot include boost libraries in Ogre iPhone SDK version

I installed the Ogre3D iPhone SDK and tried to compile the sample project in XCode4. I ran into "lexical or preprocessor issue" which many people have been experiencing in XCode4. In my case, XCode was not able to fine "OgreCamera.h".
I managed to solve this problem by creating an "Indexing" group folder in my project and dragging the header files into it as suggested in this thread:
Compile, Build or Archive problems with Xcode 4 (and dependencies)
However, I ran into the same issue again in a different form. There are no more errors about "OgreCamera.h", but now I'm getting "'boost/thread/tss.hpp' file not found". I've dragged the boost folder and the individual boost header files into the Indexing group, to no effect.
All my include paths are configured correctly, XCode should be able to find these files based on my build settings.
I don't know what to do. I've searched for solutions to this and failed to find any. My best guess is that the contents of the Indexing group need to be a flat hierarchy with no sub folders, but Ogre references the boost headers files using a file path: "boost/thread/tss.hpp", and this causes problems for some reason. But I don't know how to go about fixing it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
I had the same problem. I was copying boost into the root of the OgreSDK and then adding the following to my header search paths
$(SRCROOT)/boost
You'll notice the file being included is "boost/thread/tss.hpp". So using the above header search path it would be looking for $(SRCROOT)/boost/boost/thread/tss.hpp.
Assuming you have $SRCROOT/include in your header search paths - the solution is just to move the boost folder to your include directory.
PS... if you don't have a boost folder you'll need to download boost and copy it in there.

Three20 linking error on iPhone simulator

After following all the instructions on http://three20.info/setup/existing to integrate three20 library into my project. I'm getting this linking error:
duplicate symbol _TTCreateNonRetainingArray in /test XYZ Photos App/Three20/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libThree20Core.a(TTGlobalCore.o) and /test XYZ Photos App/Three20/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libThree20.a(TTGlobalCore.o)
What can I try to resolve this?
Ok, after hours of figuring, I was able to solve this.. The answer is Three20 won't compile if your project is inside any parent folder with a space character.
I still had the same problem even after removing spaces in parent folder names (and deleting build cache, etc.), this is what worked for me (see https://github.com/facebook/three20/issues/issue/210/#issue/210/comment/526603):
In three20 install instructions step "2. Locate the "Three20.xcodeproj" file under "three20/src/Three20/" when I created a "Folder Reference" instead of a group reference, it worked. For the subsequent Xcode projects that get added, the "Folder Reference" radio was grayed out, but they all added properly and it worked after that (note that I had to re-do the subsequent step of adding Direct Dependencies to the targets).
When i was using the samples I met that problem, but there was no space in the name of my project folder. So i just downloaded a new project and compile correctly.
All necessary system libraries are linked such as QuartzCore and CoreGraphics?
Libraries set see in Samples of Three20: TTCatalog.
