Incorporate Photo Bomber App into Self-Destructing App

I've never seen this specifict problem (much less solved it), but I have dealt with similar problems many, many, many times. I'll do my best to try and help. I apologize in advance for the bullets, but if I don't do this, I'll write a book.

So, in no specific order ...

• undefined symbols for architecture is something that is caused when you (or the underlying library) is calling a function that exists but for which you do not have the implementation in the form of a shared library. In this case, it would be a missing JAR file.

• Make sure that you have imported the JAR file properly.

• Make sure that you have the right version.

• If it isn't "the obvious", the most useful thing that you could do is to narrow this down to a single line of code. Depending on how much "Parse" code you have, you could comment it out and start adding in line by line (or use the Newtonianesque method by commenting out half the code that uses parse and looking to see if the problem disappeared). If you do not have the project on GIT (or other source control), it might be a good time.NOTE: Based on your forum message, I understand that you have already tried to do this and have been unable to; I am including this step for completeness (i.e. someone else might have a similar problem and find this in a web search, in which case, this line might help them).

• The call stack suggests that the function in question is of the form "Parse()" so it shouldn't be hard to find (the constructor, perhaps).

• If you can find the line, then check how you are calling it. It may be one of the parameters that you are setting.

• Maybe not in your code but in something that you are including (which requires some other dependancy).

• What is the last step that you took before you saw this problem? Does undoing it make the problem go away.

• I see the words "for architecture i386" and cringe just a little bit. In my case, I have a 64-bit operating system, and I am endlessly running into problems and after a long, hard slog find out that I installed conflicting versions of JAVA using 32-bit and 64-bit installers. A quick look at "installed software" will tell you if this is true; determining if this is a problem or a requirement to keep all of your software running ...

• Have you contacted Parse (or checked the support groups)? If not (and none of these steps help), then you should. It may be a problem in their software, and their may be a known solution.

I hope that this helps.

Summary: If you imported Parse properly and you cannot narrow it down to a line of you code, then one of the other 3rd party imports may be expecting Parse in particular location or a specific version of it and the error occurs because it cannot find it.

Just out of curiosity, for which OS are you compiling, and which IDE and language? The "i386" leads me to believe that this is a 32-bit Windows application, and because Treehouse doesn't teach using any MS products, I am assuming that you're using a Java IDE (i.e. Eclipse).

I'm guessing your frameworks didn't get loaded properly. How did you combine projects? Did you just copy one project into the other?

Howdy guys, sorry it's been a busy day. So, John, it is in objective-C for iOS. I have gone away with what you said earlier and tried to find something on Parse. And I thought I had however, unless I am implementing their instructions wrong, it doesn't work.

Patrick, I have built both apps individually following along with the tutorials. Then I have actually gone back and followed each again, this time round adding extra snippets for what I need the app to do. (Adding a collection view to storyboard at the end of the Self-Destructing App, in order to begin the Photo Bomber functions, and it is here, after adding the CocoaPod (as described in the Cocoa Pod workshop), that the App fails.

Thanks guys.

What he said.

If this doesn't work out, I found an explanation at Parse.com which may apply:

"I'm using RestKit which, according to their install guides, require to use the -ObjC and -all_load linker library flags.

Apparently doing so when using Parse will attempt to load all dependencies required by parse, including the Facebook SDK."

I found this link from another user with the same problem.

Hope it helps. I unfortunately have no way to verify or test.

Ha. Yeah. That's the exact answers I have since tried with no luck unfortunately.

Ugh.

Well, I noticed another post at Stack Overflow which seemed plausible, but at this point I am just guessing. I wish I had more iOS experience so that I could give you an informed answer, but I think that the concept -- a dependency is missing -- is correct and that it is not your code. Maybe one of the gurus can shed some light so that we're not looking for a needle in a haystack. Gurus?

Ok guys. I'm kind of hoping one of you have played more with CocoaPod than I have. Erm.. How would I find the pod library /path/to/ ? ? ?

Just to let you know I have tried all of your suggestions, just so you know I am listening hehe.
