Undefined symbols for architecture armv6, Updating to iOS 4.3

Question

I am patching upp an application from iOS 4.2 to 4.3 using new xcode4. With no changes made, except setting iOS to 4.3, I created entitlements and go!

Message I get is:

Undefined symbols for architecture armv6:"function", referenced from:

Ive tried to Clean the project, reinstalling xcode. I uninstalled also the xcode4 demo version. I also tried to set to Optimized armv7.

I would be very happy for some help, I'm stuck. Really.

Thanks very much in advance!

Answer 1

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.

My solution for this problem:

• Click on the Project icon
• Go to the Target in the navigator menu
• Click on the "Build Phases" tab
• Add the .m file to "Compile Sources" (either drag it across, or use the + button)
• Add the .xib or Storyboard file to "Copy bundle resources"
• Clean and build

Answer 2

For this type of error, this is what I typically see:

 Undefined symbols for architecture armv6:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_MyCustomController", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in SomeOtherController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv6

Almost every time I see this error it is caused by hidden/invisible characters in the import statement in SomeOtherController.h or SomeOtherController.m. So, look at both your .h and .m file, find the line that looks like this:

#import "MyCustomController.h"

Delete this line and retype it (do not copy/paste it -- you'll just repaste the offending hidden character).
