build troubles when adding tests to XCode 5 project

Question

I decided it was time to write some tests for my iPhone app. Unfortunately, this hasn't gone well. I created a new test class but get the error below. It looks like it's pulling in OS X libraries to me but I have no idea why....

any ideas on how to fix this?

From reading "I decided it was time to write some tests," I'm guessing it's been a while since you created the project. So maybe…

• You created the project using Xcode 4. The test target would use SenTestingKit.
• You added IsoDateTest.m using Xcode 5. The latest file template uses XCTest.

Check the list of libraries under the test target's build settings. Replace SenTestingKit.framework with XCTest.framework.
