Hi all,
We created an iOS app quite a while ago which works perfectly on the Mac on which it
was developed, but throws up errors when we try to compile it on a different Mac.
Both Macs are running version 5.0.2 of XCode and are building for iOS 6.1 for legacy
compatibility reasons.
In order to transfer it to the second Mac, we simply copied the entire source
directory onto a USB stick. If this is the cause of my issues, then could
somebody let me know a better way to transfer projects.
The project has a number of dependencies pulled in through CocoaPods. The Pods
project/target builds correctly on both laptops.
When trying to build the main project, we get several errors of the type:
* Expected identifier or '('
* Unexpected '@' in program
* Missing context for method declaration
* Expected method body
This is an example of the compilation errors on one of my header files (note
once again that the code is exactly the same as that which is compiles
correctly on the other Mac):
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface DiagnosticViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *diagnosticReadout;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *connectionNameTextBox; <-
Unexpected '@' in program
-(void) messageReceived:(NSString*)webPublisherMessage;
<- Missing context for method declaration
@end
<-Expected method body
All of the errors seem to be in .h files rather than in .m files. Some, but not
all, of the issues seem to revolve around file a failing to pick up object types
defined in file b, although not all of the issues are caused by this. I have
checked all of the header search paths and they all seem to be correct.
I have tried to doing a deep clean (Cmd + Opt + Shft + K), but this has not helped.
A colleague suggested that I should do a Perform Action -> Preprocess command
on the file in question, but since all of the files are .h files, this command is
not available.
Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on? I can only assume that there's
something wrong with the build settings or include paths or something, but I've
checked through all of them and they all appear to be identical on both Macs.
Thanks,
Rik
