Hi friends,
After including the library, when i try to call a method of that library , xcode gives me a waring ‘No such method found’ . But, the code gets compiled and even the method is called. Whats wrong ? need ur suggestions.

I also had tonnes of problems with the finer details regarding files containing only categories.

1. -ObjC is case-sensitive. That correction will at least permit a compile.

2. Add the following in case of further “unrecognized selector” exceptions. iPhone in particular,
-all_load

As outlined in the following doc.

Otherwise, thanks for the tutorial.

@Derek:
To clarify the problem: all files that are specified in the TemplateInfo.plist file (Definitions) are added to the newly created project. You *can* specify an .xcodeproj file and that works, however the files referenced in this .xcodeproj will not be copied automatically, so the referenced project is missing all its files. If you do specify these files in the Definitions part, they get copied but they are added to the new project, which is not what you want and sometimes faulty (files regarded as folders).

The Xcode 4 template format is missing one crucial process: copy some files/folders but don’t add them to the new project. If anyone finds out how to do that I’d appreciate a response (comment here is ok, I get notified).

@Derek:
I’ve been trying to figure this out myself. The Apple templates don’t even have a subfolder of files that is copied, much less a referenced project. I was able to figure out how to copy an entire folder without specifying each individual file (in Definitions use Path key and just use the folder name). But including a .xcodeproj file with corresponding files of that project? No luck. Most of the time Xcode gets confused and creates folder references which should actually be files.

If I can figure it out, I’ll post it on my blog http://www.learn-cocos2d.com

@TheMisfit

In Xcode 4 the steps are fairly similar

Attach the linked Xcode Project file using Cmd-Opt-A to select

Click on your Project (not the linked Project) in Project Navigator

Click a Target->Build Phases->Target Dependencies
Add libs as Target Dependencies

Click a Target->Build Phases->Link Binary With Libraries
Add libs as Linked Binaries

My question is how to have a linked Xcode project in the new Xcode 4 templates?

Regards,
Derek.
