Google Services - Duplicate symbols on link - ios

I'm getting the google services for ios integrated in my app. For reasons outside my control I can't use cocoapods, so I'm following the manual approach outlined here.
The problem is the Play Games C++ SDK Version 2.1 (gpg.framework). When I add it, (build phases, link binary with libraries, +) and build I get a lot of duplicate symbol errors:
duplicate symbol _AES_decrypt in:
../../../../../Monkey/modules/googleservices/native/gpg-cpp-sdk/ios/gpg.framework/gpg(libgpg.a-arm64-master.o)
../../../../../Monkey/modules/googleservices/native/gpg-cpp-sdk/ios/gpg.framework/gpg(aes.o)
. . .
duplicate symbol __ZTVN4buzz10XmlBuilderE in:
../../../../../Monkey/modules/googleservices/native/gpg-cpp-sdk/ios/gpg.framework/gpg(libgpg.a-arm64-master.o)
../../../../../Monkey/modules/googleservices/native/gpg-cpp-sdk/ios/gpg.framework/gpg(xmlbuilder.o)
ld: 7242 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker
command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I've spent a day going over the common causes for duplicate symbols in stack overflow and nothing seems to work. Removed all google frameworks and re-added them, added the google frameworks in a different project (same issue), cleared out derived data, etc..
Any ideas on what might be causing it? Help much appreciated, thanks.
Specs:
Xcode 7.2.1
Deployment Target: 7.0
Play Games C++ SDK Version 2.1

This might not be the best solution, but I solved it by opening up the gpg file, and removing the offending .o files that contained duplicate symbols.
Followed the instructions here.
The files I removed are libgpg.a-* and example_mul.o
Can't guarantee it all works, but at least it's letting me do a google services sign-in at this point.

CardboardSDK conflict (duplicate symbol) in google protobuf library

I've successfully integrated and configured my CardboardSDK project in a test project, now I want to integrate it in my main project which already uses GTL library for YouTube uploading and in this new project I'm getting 641 duplicate symbols for classes with strange names.
What I've tried:
I've addressed some conflicts with GoogleAdMob and GoogleConversion SDKs.
I've addressed conflicts for all the cases where I could find a relevant class name somewhere else in the project, like AFNetworking, OAuth etc.
But still there are 641 duplicate symbols.

ld: 641 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Problem:
I'm unable to fully understand where these duplicate symbols are coming from, my calculated guess is its fro m GTL SDK by google but I do need that for YouTube uploading and can't remove it. e.g. Is this class name __ZN6google8protobuf8internal20InitLogSilencerCountEv randomly generated ?
How can I find out exactly which SDK / Framework in my project is indirectly using the same google library which Cardboard SDK is using ?
I would even like to explicitly silence the duplicate symbols, using some compiler flags, if possible ?
UPDATE:
I found out that the issue is not with the YouTube API, as Ive removed that API and all other google SDKs from my project and am still getting the conflict.
I've checked the object files inside the SDK and its not them, its protobuf library internally being used by some of the classed inside Cardboard SDK.
How can I find out which library is having protobuf as a dependancy ?

Xcode 6 linker error - Undefined symbols for architecture armv7

After upgrading to Xcode 6 beta 7 (and now still with Xcode 6 GM) I am unable to link my Swift app. I receive errors such as:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_swift_stdlib_compareNSStringDeterministicUnicodeCollation", referenced from:
...
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I have seen the other SO posts that recommend deleting the Derived Data folder and/or using the Clean Build Folder option to get past this error, but that solution didn't help at all in my case. Nothing has changed about my code or the CocoaPods I'm using since Xcode 6 beta 5 which is the last time it worked.
Any ideas?

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
What's happening here has nothing to do with your Derived Data location.
When a swift application is built, it goes through several steps:
Write auxiliary files
Create product structure
Compile swift source for each architecture
Copy resource rules plist
Copy application bridging header
Link against swift runtime libraries for each architecture
Copy application swift module for each architecture
Create the application binary
Copy resources build phase
Copy the swift standard libraries into the application
Package it up
Sign it
Whew! That's a lot. Your build is failing when linking against the swift runtime libraries. They live in Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphoneos inside the Xcode developer directory. Specifically, the library that is not being correctly linked is libswiftCore.dylib. If you use nm on that library, you can see it defines your first missing symbol:
quellish% nm /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphoneos/libswiftCore.dylib | grep compareNSStringDeterministicUnicodeCollation
00197c8c T _swift_stdlib_compareNSStringDeterministicUnicodeCollation
000000000018352c T _swift_stdlib_compareNSStringDeterministicUnicodeCollation
You can also use lipo to see what architectures are in the file:
quellish% xcrun lipo -info /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphoneos/libswiftCore.dylib
Architectures in the fat file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphoneos/libswiftCore.dylib are: armv7 arm64
It contains armv7 and arm64. It's not the library architecture that's the problem.
Linking against the swift standard library is not working. It's possible that source control or migrating Xcode versions has caused your project file to drop part of the linking step, or it's simply not able to find the libraries it needs to link against. Xcode project files are complex and use a lot of references - it's possible that a merge, etc. caused a critical reference to be come dissociated from the linking step. Without a full build log and a look at your machine it may not be possible to tell.
This library, as you might guess, has nothing to do with the project's derived data location.
The best way to move forward would unfortunately be to recreate the project file. Comparing the build log of the broken project to a swift project that does build correctly may provide some insights, but it may also be a waste of time - something fixable may be the problem, but more likely not.
I would encourage you to file a bug and include the troublesome project file with it.
I have solved my issue by deleting all the data in the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData folder. I read about that in another thread, but ignored it thinking a clean included that process!
I have Updated on Yosemite, Xcode 6.1.
I have updated gem xcodeproj (0.19.4) and cocoapods (0.34.4).
I have resolve my conflict by :
Clearing the Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData folder
replace in Target -> Build Settings -> Linking -> Other Linker Flags : $(OTHER_LDFLAGS)
Check in Target -> Build Phases -> Copy Pods Resources : "${SRCROOT}/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods/Pods-resources.sh"
1) I face the same problem but just clear the applications from derived data from User/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData and I am able to run the code.
2) In your case may be, it will run by removing armv7 architecture from build settings. And make sure your compiler is Default Compiler in Build Settings.
Thanks I hope this helpful to you and everyone.
This seems to be caused (for most) by linking a third-party library that does not support the requested architecture.
I had somewhat similar problem (a linker error from Apple's framework). As it turned out, the problem was that I was missing the library LocalAuthentication.framework. I am wondering if maybe you need to delete the Foundation.framework from the Build Phase tab (in the Link Libraries section), and then re-add it? Maybe that will solve the problem?
'Upgraded' to xcode 6 and swift app wouldn't build for simulator yet would build fine on an iPad - Linker error, undefined symbols for i386 for the simulator.
Clearing the Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData folder worked for me.
There appears to be a bug in Xcode 6.0.1 that is causing the linker to drop dependencies in existing project files. I have had this same problem across several different projects, new and old, since the 6.0.1 update.
The easy 'fix' is to just trash your entire 'Derrived Data' and all build files (i.e. manually clean the project) and then rebuild after a fresh Xcode restart. Magically, the linker now finds all the missing architectures/symbols.
NOTE: I have had several incompatible v-table crashes caused by this same bug. The C++ linker appears to be generating incomplete linkages, causing absurd errors where there are no real errors to be found. Again, just rebuild from a clean state and .. ta da.. save yourself a LOT of headache and wasted time tracking down a non-issue.
I solved this issue after trying all that was suggested here with no luck.
Like someone said earlier, it's a SourceControl issue.
One of my project files (the one referenced in the error message) was missing from the project browser. However, XCode still had a reference to it (I was going to the class definition when I was selecting "jump to definition" from Xcode GUI).
As a matter of fact, the project.pbxproj was not listing it. This was probably a Git Issue. In any event, I just recreated the file in the same directory it has been recreated and voila.
I am a filly when it comes to iOS Objective C, though I have been coding in several other languages for many years. So I am stabbing around in the dark most of the time with Objective C.
I started having this error, "Undefined symbols for architecture armv7", directly after declaring some "global" variables in my .h file like so:
extern NSString *globalNotes;
extern NSString *globalUserCountry;
I was then referring to these variables from the .m file like so:
globalNotes= #"Error (Marker 1010)";
globalUserCountry= #"No result";
THE FIX - To correct this, I changed them to object properties like so:
#property(nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSString *globalNotes;
#property(nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSString *globalUserCountry;
And referred to them like so:
self.globalNotes= #"Error (Marker 1010)";
self.globalUserCountry= #"No result";
That seemed to fix my problem.

How to add CocoaHTTPServer to an iOS project on XCode 4

I'm trying to add CocoaHTTPServer to my project. I encountered many problems on the way - my problem (adding CocoaHTTPServer to a project (and have it working)) is still there - but I've also included the errors and solutions I encountered on the way for others' reference.
First I looked at tutorials on adding a framework, but it didn't look like a framework.
Next I right clicked on my project (on the left sidebar), and manually added it with "add files". I followed the SimpleHTTPServer example but got a "cocoa/cocoa.h" not found error. I searched around and found that Cocoa is for mac and not iOS. But the CocoaHTTPServer description talks about iOS apps too, so I just deleted the samples folder (the error was coming from the DynamicHTTPServer example if I recall.
Then I got a "Lexical or preprocessor issue libxml/parser.h not found" error. I tried adding it as a framework, but that didn't work. I found this tutorial on adding libxml to the header search path (at the end), but I ended up with 46 "Apple Mach-O Linker Error _CFHTTPMessage..." errors, and I decided to ask my question here. I tried this answer but got many Apple Mach-O Linker Errors
I added CFNetwork and Security frameworks (project => build phases => link binary with libraries), and was left with 2 errors:
ld: warning: path '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator6.1.sdk/usr/lib/libxml2.dylib' following -F not a directory
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
"_NSlog", referenced from:
-[AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:] in AppDelegate.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I see i386 which is intel, and not the ARM architecture on iDevices. However, the real problem was I mispelled NSLog (look carefully - it wasn't capitalized in the error message). When I googled this - other possible causes may be missing frameworks.
Now it compiles. When I run the sample application, I get the "server started on X port" and when I go to localhost:X I get the welcome/success screen. When I do the same on my project, I still get the "server started on X port" messages, but when I go to localhost:X the browser gives a "cannot connect" messages. No errors in the XCode console.
There are no errors from [httpServer start:&error] and httpServer.isRunning is true.
So what's the best way to add CocoaHTTPServer to my project? In terms of a clean setup - for example, when I inspect the sample iPhone project, I don't see any of the messy steps to add libxml - I don't even see libxml anywhere at all. And in terms of configuring everything so that it actually works and serves files. Right now, I'm suspecting there may be some project settings that need to be enabled for it to actually be a server.
While adding the external files, have you checked your project as a "Build Target"?

Duplicate symbols for architecture - CocoaPods + Sonic.framework

I'm using CocoaPods and everythnig works fine until I add Sonic.framework.
I'm getting a linker error:
ld: 96 duplicate symbols for architecture armv7s
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Complete log:
http://pastebin.com/TqdWWYdt
Any help?
The conflicting package is most likely AFNetworking, it can be found in the build log you posted (at line 7, duplicate symbol _OBJC_IVAR_$_AFQueryStringPair._field in:.., googling for AFQueryStringPair leads you quickly into AFNetworking related places).
The offending symbol is declared here.
Does Sonic SDK embed AFNetworking by any chance?
It that's the case you might be lucky enough to be able to use the AFNetworking embedded in Sonic SDK, making the problem go away by simply dropping your own dependency on AFNetworking. If AFNetworking is a downstream dependency of one of your other dependencies it will be a bit more tricky. But at least you know where to look.
Edit: Since you have tagged the question with RESTKit too, that might be a more likely culprit than Sonic SDK (see e.g. this) thread.
There ,may be some files added multiple times in the project
Clear the pod file and pod install : removes everything.
Add all the framework into the podfile and call pod install :to install everything again
May be this will fix the issue
In my case it was caused by an extraneous -l"Pods-AFNetworking" in "Other Linker Flags" in the "Linking" section of my project's Build Settings. I removed this and a few other extraneous -lfoo arguments also in Other Linker Flags: all the duplicate symbols disappeared.
Other things you can check might include:
Copying 3rd party software into your app as part of the project's
collection of files, and then also adding it as a cocoapod by naming
it in the Podfile.
Including more than one version of the same 3rd party software in
your app.
Don't forget that you can uncheck a file's "Target Membership" checkbox for your target to keep it from being included in your build, so if you need multiple versions for compatibility reasons you can select which files are active by target.
You may also just be linking against multiple pod libraries. Make sure in Link Binary With Libraries you're not linking against both libPods.a and libPods-{target}, etc
This just happened to me after dividing a blanket podfile into target specific instructions.

Ho can I use adMob library for iOS without using -all_load linker flag

I'm adding adMob provide by google to my iOS app and I'm stuck on this part of the installation:
Add -all_load under Other Linker Flags in the project build info
If I add that flag, then another third party library breaks giving me the error message:
ld: duplicate symbol _vw_chartype_table_p in /Users/josh/ Projects/app/libs/libvt_universal.a(vw_ctype-3279EF26D0C25F3A.o) and / Users/josh/Projects/app/libs/ libvt_universal.a(vw_ctype-34AB9EC0B46D954C.o) for architecture i386
Is there any way to use the adMob library without using -all_load? For example, I've tried -force_load $(SOURCE_ROOT)/adMob/libGoogleAdMobAds.a
but
ld: file not found: /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/latest/bbbb/APPNAME/adMob/libGoogleAdMobAds.a
The reason Google suggests using -all_load is that they are using categories in their code, and Objective-C libraries with categories are not properly loaded by the llvm linker (well that was the case in 4.3 xcode, not sure about 4.4 with the newer clang).
So, I guess if you are brave you can try to just remove the all_load flag. It should build fine. If the bug is NOT fixed, what will happen is when you run your code, it will crash, since none of the categories the library uses will have been loaded. This might be a good thing to do in any case, as your project should build, and if it does not you can fix those problems first.
What I do suggest you do is use -force_load, which has llvm load the categories in the adMob library (among other things). To use it you MUST have a fully qualified path (ie starts at '/') to the library. Obviously if you use Terminal and run:
ls -l /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/latest/bbbb/APPNAME/adMob/libGoogleAdMobAds.a
its going to fail. So enter the proper path - hard coded - for now to just see if you can get the project to first build, then run. If it does you can later figure out what is the appropriate $(VAR) to use to find it inside your project.
