I have received many errors while trying to Build & Run my iphone app using the xcode.
All the errors stated "non lazy ptr" for the used variables in the code.
The solution for me (and for all of you) is to look for the correct framework to be used according to the Simulator and Device versions the code will be running on.
At first i have chosen the AVFoundation framework from the iphone os 2.2 folder. and when i removed that and choose the framework from the iphone os 3.0 folder - the linking errors where gone and the code run perfectly.
so, in short the solution is to change the framework source folder.
Hope that helps :)
Frameworks should automatically be taken from the Active SDK, so resetting them shouldn't be necessary. We've seen some projects that have somehow gotten hardcoded SDK paths into their Framework Search Paths build settings; that is often the cause of this problem (and your fix simply hardcodes a more-recent path for an invalid one, which kicks the can down the road a ways but will break again in the next SDK bump.) The real solution is to look at your target's Framework Search Paths and delete any SDK-specific paths you find.

Recently, after upgrading to Lion and Xcode 4.2.1 I am getting this error when trying to run my app on my iPhone 4S:
"The application bundle does not contain a valid identifier."
My identifier is indeed valid, and I have been able to run my app with this identifier earlier.
The problem might appear when I change computers.
I have two computers that I am using to code my app, and I am using Dropbox to keep track of my files.
Restarting XCode, my mac and my iPhone does not work.
Cleaning the target and rebuilding does not work.
The only thing I have been able to do to fix it is to create a completely new project and moving my files. This made things work until I swapped computer. Now I am in the same trouble again.
Any idea? Anyone?
Three suggestions:
Check that your developer key is in both computers
Did you try to update the project? There is a strangly-named key in the middle bottom under the project's properties. Try this.
I had similar issues. I found that some things weren't updated when I updated osx and xcode. To get out of the situation, I would suggest creating a new project and copy paste code, files and build settings. This might seem stupid, but you know apple is not good at creating IDE's. You might just get your self lost in the undocumented settings.
I'm fairly new to the iOS SDK and Xcode and I stumbled across this XML-RPC framework https://github.com/eczarny/xmlrpc that I'd really like to use in one of my projects. I downloaded the sources, the initial target was set to Mac OS, so I changed that to iOS 4.3 but got the following dependency error:
target specifies product type 'com.apple.product-type.framework', but there's no such product type for the 'iphoneos' platform
So I removed all the targets and added a new one from scratch using the Cocoa Touch Static Library, and it seems like it's been built just fine. Now my question is whether this is the correct way to build that library for iOS development, and where do I take it from here? I can't find the .framework directory anywhere (the install dir was set to "#executable_path/../Frameworks") so I can't embed it in my iOS project. How exactly does this go? Thanks!
Thanks for your help and sorry if this is too "newbish". Cheers!
If you're using Xcode 4.x open the Organizer, select the Projects tab and then down the left hand side you should see an entry relating to the XML-RPC project. Select that and under the Derived Data heading you'll see a path which if you follow using finder should lead you to the folder containing the static library you've built.
I'm still pretty new at iPhone development and I'm running into this odd build error which I do not understand. I'm trying to build and run my iPhone application and XCode is telling me that it can not find NSPredicate. To my understanding it was made available in iPhone SDK 3.0 and I'm trying to build for 3.1. I set the target to being "Simulator - 3.1.2 | Debug" in the top left selection box and then hit "Build and Go". I tried setting it in the target app's info as well.
If anyone can direct me to where/what I can change or any documentation, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
Have you built your project recently with an older version of the SDK. I have run into similar problems and I found that the first thing to do is to clean your target and then build again.
To clean your target open your targets group, right click or control+click on your target and select clean "_target_name_"
Hope this helps.
NSPredicate is part of the Foundation so if you can't find that something is badly scrambled.
(1) Check for circular imports in the headers. These can cause all kinds of weird problems.
(2) Remove all frameworks, clean all, then add the frameworks back in in order. Make sure the target is set for 3.x.
In the past, when I've hit a build problem like this, I found it easier to create a new project and move my custom source to it than to try to figure out what I screwed up on the original. Life's to short to debug a linker.
Xcode 3.2 kind of broke the build process of my iPhone app. I need to add a new framework to my project (MediaPlayer.framework).
So I go into my Target settings and try to add it to the "Linked Libraris" by hitting the [+] button. In the list the MediaPlayer.framework is missing, as well as other frameworks, such as UIKit, CoreGraphic and others. Some frameworks are still there.
I can add the frameworks by adding the SDK-specific ones (going into /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOs.platform/...yadayadayada../frameworkd/) but then of course I can only compile for the iPhone platform and not for the simulator any more.
So basically I wonder how I can get Xcode back to chose the appropriate framework, depending on platform and SDK version for me?
Thanks and kind regards, Hans Schneider
Edit: Things I tried: Setting the Base SDK to 3.0 (was still 2.2.1), reinstalling 3.0 iPhone and Simulator SDK from the "packages" directory of the Xcode 3.2 DMG. Didn't help. The frameworks still wont show up in the list...
Edit 2: Ok, I now have the frameworks back in the list, I was previously in my AdHoc configuration. In Debug I have the frameworks back. But it still wont compile for the Simualtor (lots of Symbols(s) not found errors).
Looks like the linker doesn't choose the correct libraries and always uses the iPhoneOs3.0 path for the frameworks.
Goto 'Framework Search Path' in build section in target's property.
Add path:
$(SDKROOT)/Library/System/Frameworks
Then it should work well.
And once you press 'OK', you should be able to see the path is set to '/Library..."
I have two projects, a Cocoa iPhone application and a static library which it uses.
I've tested it successfully on the iPhone simulator, but when I try to deploy it to my iPhone device I get (symbol not found) link errors.
If I remove the dependancy of the library the project builds/runs fine.
I have made sure all the build settings are set to iPhoneOS not the simulator.
Im sure its something simple, but has anyone run into similar problems moving from iPhone simulator to device?
--EDIT: I have managed to create new projects (one for the application and one for the static library), and successfully get them to run on the iPhone or simulator. But I have a very strange problem... for each specific project I cannot get it working for BOTH the device and the simulator... I have double checked the build settings, made sure the libraries that are being references are for the matching build settings (I believe) but I cannot resolve these linking errors.
I think I must be doing something very wrong... all the apple documentation says 'its super simple - one click' but this is giving me a lot of problems.
This is probably something to do with xCode build settings, but I cannot seem to understand why selecting the different build platforms and rebuilding the libraries does not work.
Check out my answer to a similar question for a link to an article that might help. There is a link to an interesting article.
Eventually I realised what the problem was.
I changed my device target from simulator to iPhone device, then removed the old (simulator) static library and attached the new (device) library.
All fine, except the library search path (in the build configurations) still had the simulator directory listed first, which I assume cause it to be found and used rather than the device.
This also explains why I was able to make each setting work with a new project, but only had trouble changing between settings.
Its a simple and stupid problem, but one that caused me some grief and time. Im still not sure how to properly set target dependent build settings but at least if anyone is getting similar problems its something to look out for.
I've created a complete tutorial on how to create and use static libraries, this tutorial covers the the method that is also advised by apple, maybe people will find it usefull:
http://www.sodeso.nl/?p=822
Advantages of this methods is that it automatically recompiles the library according to your project settings (so no trouble with device / simulator builds)
