First of all, I've never worked on iOS, so this may or may not be a stupid question, I don't know :)
I have an iOS App, and I need to run it.
In the 'Project Navigator' I have a folder/package called 'Reuse and Platform Libraries'. Inside, I have another four folders but 3 of them seem like missing.
I am not sure if this is the case. I've tried googling their name but without results so I assume they are not some open source libraries.
Can someone clear this up for me? Do I need to install some XCode packages?
Thanks!
I suggest you search the folder of the project for those files, sometimes when copying a project the paths get screwed up because they were set as absolute paths and not relative paths.
If you can't find the files, it's most likely that the library is a private one used by the previous developers, and usually kept out of the project folder so they probably forgot to send it along. I'd suggest simply asking them to send the files over :).
There is also a slight chance they are not needed to run the file, in which case, just deleting them from the sidebar should make the project run.

I have a Xcode project I got from another developer. Initially when I opened it it has a bunch of errors (most of which were un-updated frameworks). I got it to work after a while and I fixed it. I want pass it back to the manager since I'm leaving uni in a few months. I copied it over to my friends Mac to see what would happen if I just took the project and all it's folders and made it a zipfile. It didn't work for some reason. It gave me an error:
error: using bridging headers with framework targets is unsupported
But why did that come up? I mean it's the same code on the slightly different versions of Xcode (13.1 versos 14.1) but I doubt there was a massive change between the two that would cause this. I want to be able to pass these app later in the future without having to care about this stuff. I made a GitHub (link below) would cloning that work? Also the laptop I chose was just a fresh reset. Would it be due to not having coco-pods installed?
I feel like I could go through and fix it all on that laptop and document that but then I'm afraid that every time I put it on a new one it would come up with random errors every single time making my documentation moot.

With big help this was Fixed.
Things that fixed it.
Having the correct version of Xcode
Turning everything from absolute path to relative
Lots of other code fixes. But those are my project specific.
You don't need bridging headers in framework. Use should have something like "YourFramework.h" where you can import your .h files.
Alright, guys. I'm going freakin' crazy with this one. It is utterly ridiculous that the FacebookSDK causes so many issues. I know there are a couple questions on here regarding this issue, but they all seem to be outdated.
I pulled my Xcode project onto a new computer, and can't build it because I get the "FacebookSDK/FacebookSDK.h" file not found error. There are answers such as This one, but I've followed the steps in every single answer and haven't found one that works. I've just made a fresh pull from my working project from the original machine to the new one. I'll take some screenshots showing my current settings for various fields mentioned in other answers, and maybe I Just have something wonky that is interfering.
Here are the contents of the SDK that I just downloaded
Here are the contents of my Xcode project folder. There isn't anything else Facebook in here.
Here are the frameworks inside my Frameworks group and inside the Link Binary with Libraries section of Build Phases
There are a couple frameworks that are red, and that's OK for now. They were not in the repo, and are instead referenced from Documents or Downloads, and they played nice when I moved the files over and linked them. I just reset my repo to when I pulled it to make sure I didn't have anything from weird stuff I tried that prevents a proper solution from working.
Framework search paths. You can also see that my library search paths is empty. I labeled the stuff I wanted to hide, as it was identifying information
For some reason, my Documents for the new machine is already under the framework search paths. I did not add this myself.
Any ideas on what I can try? This is endlessly frustrating. I've wasted an entire day of development on trying to get Facebooks SDK re-integrated on a new machine.
I was also face the same problem every time I got the checkout for new version from svn.What I did was just removed the Facebook SDK and add again from the backup.It taken me out that time.Please try this might be it works for you.
I am trying to copy over my Xcode project from one computer to another but it seems to lose frameworks and the locations for the images although i copied those too.
PS I am using xcode and coding an app with a friend. Is there a useful source that can help us both code at once/ transfer code files.
Thanks for the help.
Try transferring everything from plists to the storyboard. I did this with a friend of mine and it only took about 20 minutes for the code to build and run successfully on his own laptop. the biggest issue is going to be transferring the files that Xcode is going to have to search for, and making sure that the search paths match with where you save the new files.
SDK's and images are difficult because of this path issue - make sure you find where the pictures are supposed to be searched for then add the images there.
Just take your time - even write down where each file should go or where you have put it and you should get it working. Best of luck!
You have to select relative paths in your project for your resources/frameworks (e.g. Relative to group). If you have absolute paths, it won't work on a different computer. Also check in the Build Settings of your target the Framework, Library and Header search paths.
I'm pretty green, but I'm trying to modify a simple program to fit my own needs. You may remember the "BirdWatching" app from "Your Second iOS App: Storyboards" in the iOS Developer's Library.
Anyway, I've refactored most of the names, etc., successfully (it still worked), but then I tried to get rid of a file that kept appearing, even though its name had been expunged (or so I thought) through refactoring. Shows up in the Assistant Editor, right next to the file to which it was refactored.
Now I've got a mess. I tried to move the entire project into it's own folder, but now the compliler won't recognize the info-plist file (says it doesn't exist, and two other files are showing up in red, depending on their position in the navigator. However, it's the WMDG-info.plist that the complier complains about. Specifically, it appears to be following the old path to the file, even after it's been moved and re-added.
I've tried quitting and restarting xCode, re-adding the files, etc. I've searched under every keyword I can think of, but can't find a solution.
Please help!
Thanks!

Changed, updated, form is not used even though uses and project settings seem fine, old form files removed from disk.
Is this a bug in the IDE? I may just delete the form and copy it into another unit with a new name.
If it's using an old form it has to be getting it from somewhere--it doesn't appear out of thin air. Two scenarios come to mind:
1) It's somewhere where you don't realize. Search your system for files by that name.
2) Unless you do a build Delphi compiles based on timestamps. If the clock was wrong when it was compiled before the .dcu can have a more recent time and thus it gets skipped in compiling. I've hit this more than once with timezones.
A good way to find it is to first move the project to a different new folder and try to compile it. This should produce and error that will help you to find the culprit. If this does not work then it is settings like paths etc in your libraries that are at fault.
Also make sure that you deleted all ".dcu" files in the project before re-compiling.
No, it is not a bug in the IDE.
You are referencing that form in some setting in your project or environment, which you didn't find yet and which takes precedence to options you already tweaked.
Where do you need to go to resolve your problem? Well, that's difficult to say without looking at your development environment and your project settings.
I've had this happen before. It is always something referenced that I wasn't aware of.
You can do a grep for something from the form and see where it shows up.
Thanks for the input. The first one I tried, moving the files, mm2010, showed it was my code that was at fault.
Although the form/unit is not included in the project file (dpr), it is still referenced by some other unit. So the compiler links the res into the application. Look for the unit name you want to remove in other units' uses clauses.
