dyld: Library not loaded: AVFoundation.framework Reason: image not found

Question

How do I fix this?

dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/AVFoundation.framework/Versions/A/AVFoundation Referenced from: /Users/[...]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/[...]/TestGame.app/TestGame Reason: image not found

Answer 1

You need to add this Framework to Xcode.

Right-click on "Frameworks" > Choose Add > Existing Frameworks Locate "AVFoundation" then choose Add.

If you want to add it manually, choose the other button and navigate to:

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.2.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/AVFoundation.framework/

Replace the iPhone SDK version with whatever you are building against.

Also, sometimes you just need to close Xcode, then clean and rebuild.

Answer 2

I'd the same problem, was able to solve it by setting the added frameworks as Optional instead of Required from here, Project-> Targets-> Build Phases-> Link Binary with Libraries, change the status of added (or which creating the problem) frameworks to Optional, and it will run successfully.!
