How to install protocol buffers with Objective C/iOS 5 SDK? - objective-c

Does anyone know how to get protocol buffers working with the most recent version of the iOS SDK?
I tried the instructions given here: http://code.google.com/p/metasyntactic/wiki/ProtocolBuffers
I have successfully installed 'protoc' and have also successfully compiled Objective-C output files using it, but the project that it tells you to list as a dependency is outdated and I get errors when I try to build my app.
Alternatively then, does anyone know to make the project compatible with the most recent version of the SDK?

You can find the related IOS 5 arc enabled port if metasyntactic protobuf

Although I am having difficulties with the generated code (repeated type fields won't compile, at least for me), it might be a starting point for you.

Invalid Binary Or Invalid Swift Support

After I send my app for approval to the app store I get the message 'Invalid Binary' in the iTunes Connect. Then I get the following message in an email from Apple:
Invalid Swift Support - The bundle contains an invalid implementation of Swift. The app may have been built or signed with non-compliant or pre-release tools. Visit developer.apple.com for more information.
My app is just a simple game application. No external programs are called. I have researched this message and went through and checked the following:
xcode is up to date - checked in app store
EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT to YES or NO
send with the xcode app, not the application loader
did NOT build with the command line
(Xcode menu -> Preferences -> Locations tab - verified that the Command Line Tools matches Xcode version.
"Clean"ed the app, rebuilt and rearchived and then resent, same message
The app validates through the organizer fine
viewing the contents of the archive shows a SwiftSupport folder
I am only using one developer account and have never logged into any other developer account
I cannot find anything online that would help solve this problem.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
xcode version is 6.1.1 version 6A2008a - built, cleaned and sent with this version
I have also pressed the Option key and "Cleaned Build Folder" and resent, same message
I cannot find any other reason for this online or in any forums. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
SOLUTION I FIND
Edit:
(1)
One you contact Apple and you wait long time … for reset iTunes connect because this problem coming in Apple . (Apple ask to send log of this problem)
(2)
An other solution, your create an other project application on iTunes connect and upload your work, this solution work fine, is the solution for me .
(3)
An other solution, you create a new project on Xcode, copy and paste your project in this other project.... (create new provisioning profile etc..) And upload your work in the same project application on Itunes Connect.
(4)
Step (2) + step (3), create a new project in Xcode and Itunes Connect.
(5)
Create a new project with the same name bundle identifier, it works perfectly !
See: Technical Q&A QA1881 Embedding Content with Swift in Objective-C.
It seems that you only need to set EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT to YES "If you are building an app that does not use Swift but embeds content such as a framework that does".
What language is your app written in? If Swift yo do not need EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT.
I ran into this problem the other day. Took some doing, but I finally figured out the problem ( for me at least). Everything I read online said the problem had to do with this setting:
EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT
When this started failing, I had this set to NO. So I tried setting it to YES, and it still failed for the same reason. The GUI wouldn't let me remove this setting, I could only change it between YES and NO.
For what it's worth, my code has no EMBEDDED code, it's all just straight up SWIFT.
Anyway, so I decided to uninstall XCode and redownload it, hoping that would help.
While XCode was downloading, I fired up Beyond Compare, and compared my current project, with a backup from last week, to see what could have changed.
Beyond Compare found that a file deep inside the Projectname.xcodeproj file, changed ... a file called project.pbxproj file.
Inside this, was that line:
EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = NO;
This appeared in the current version of my project (that was failing). Interestingly enough, this line didn't exist at ALL in the old backup version from a week ago. I know that I didn't set this flag. There must have been something in Xcode that did it under the covers.
Anyway with that knowledge, Xcode finished downloading, and I reinstalled. Started it up, opened my project, and magically, Xcode REMOVED that line from the .pbxproj file, and now my project uploaded to itunesConnect sucessfully.
BottomLine: There's a bug in xcode that it may decide to add this line to your project for no reason, making your project invalid.
Solution: Editing the pbxproj file yourself and removing that line might work ... but reinstalling XCode seemed to clear up any confusion it had, and it removed it for me.
If you are submitting an app that has an AppleWatch extension, you can get this error if you try and submit the app using the Application Loader utility and a zip file. I got the error:
The bundle contains an invalid implementation of Swift. and
The bundle contains an invalid implementation of WatchKit.
I went through pretty much every solution for the first of the errors - but it was submitting via Xcode that fixed it.
well xcode 6.1 is a bit old and contains old swift. xcode 6.4 is the newest public one IIRC
"Check your code signing. I had this error when in automatic signing. I Put my dev profile for dev and production profile for release version and error is gone."
Link for the Quote
Sometimes this happens inadvertently.
To be safe, all components of your app should be built with the same version of Xcode and the Swift compiler to ensure that they work together.
I think you need to do a pod clean and install. I reckon one of your swift pods was created on a old version of Xcode, you updated Xcode and then tried to do a submission to the app store.
Read the apple swift blog about binary compatibility and frameworks
You will also want to specify that your embedded content contains swift in the build settings:
EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT
Enable this setting to indicate that content embedded in a target's product contains Swift code, so that the standard Swift libraries can be included in the product.

Compiling/Running Cocoa Project implementing NSSharingServicePicker in 10.7.x

I am learning about Objective-C/Cocoa and have downloaded the source code to a popular TeX typesetter and loaded up the project in XCode to play around with it. Compiling fails, and all of the error messages I have seen (so far) have to do with something called NSSharingServicePicker not being recognized. I gather (from this SO question and this Apple documentation page) that this is a class not available in 10.7.x. It therefore makes sense why the code won't compile on my Lion machine.
My question is, I guess, why I am able to run the downloaded package of TeXShop on 10.7 at all? (According to the website, this version is for OSX 10.7 and up.) I am interested in making a few minor changes to this project; am I not able to check my changes/compile unless I'm using a Mountain Lion machine? Is there some kind of update I can download for coding/compiling purposes?
Assuming you are using Xcode 4.6.*, you should be able to set your project to use the 10.8 SDK and get past the compile errors. (That's the "Base SDK" build setting.)

How to Codesign Growl.framework for Sandboxed Mac App

I'm trying to submit a Mac app for Approval in the App Store, but linking with Growl is causing a validation error. I'm trying to re-codesign from the command line, but I'm getting the following error:
Ashs-MacBook-Pro:500px Uploader ash$ codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: 500px Inc." ./Growl.framework/Versions/A
./Growl.framework/Versions/A: replacing existing signature
./Growl.framework/Versions/A: object file format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable
I've tried re-downloading the framework, but with no luck. Anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
Really strange, I've managed to resign the framework like this:
codesign -fs "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Future Simple" Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl
Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl: replacing existing signature
(BTW: I'm working with Xcode 4.3.1 and Growl 1.3.1)
I just spent the day working through the "bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable" error when codesigning a framework. In my case I'm using XCode 4.6.1 and I was trying to code sign Qt frameworks.
First note that the Apple documentation (TN2206) explicitly states that you need to code sign the versioned framework directory, not the library executable.
This is discussed further here:
How do you codesign framework bundles for the Mac App Store?
So, based on that, the command line in Ash's original question is correct. However I was getting the same error.
I did get it working with that command line. Here are the things that I had to do:
Make sure that you're using the correct version of CODESIGN_ALLOCATE. This is discussed in many of the answers here: iPhone Codesign object file format invalid or unsuitable If you can get XCode to sign an app then you can find the CODESIGN_ALLOCATE path in the build log.
Make sure that the versioned directory (./Growl.framework/Versions/A in the question above) contains Resources/Info.plist and that there is a link from Versions/Current -> Versions/A and that there is a link Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources at the top level of the framework bundle. I found that I could not sign the versioned framework directory without the Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist being present. You can read more about the correct structure of a framework here and here, or just take a look at some system frameworks to get an understanding about how they're supposed to be structured.
Further to the previous point, make sure that your symlinks in your framework bundle are structured correctly (Current links to numbered version, top level links to Current) as shown in the Apple docs. This won't affect code signing but your App will be rejected if you don't get this right.
Make sure that CFBundleExecutable is set to the correct name (the executable name) in your framework's Info.plist
Would it be better if we shipped the sdk unsigned? It'd be a simple change, I'm hesitant to do so now since it's been like this for a little while.
It looks like the error might have been trying to sign a bundle that was already signed; I fixed the issue by downloading the Growl framework source and compiling it with my own signature instead.
If I find a better answer that will work for frameworks for which you don't have the ability to compile, I'll post it here.

clang Can't find any frameworks

I've been tearing my hair out over this, and Google hasn't yielded much so my problem must be caused by my own specific brand of stupidity.
Basically, having installed Xcode 4 I removed the /Developer-old folder (properly, can't remember the command but I used the uninstall script rather than sticking it in the trash).
Xcode builds projects fine, and the latest version of all the Objective-C frameworks seem to live in /System/Library/Frameworks, but when I compile something (which built fine in the Xcode 3 days) clang complains that it can't find any headers, e.g:
fatal error: 'Cocoa/Cocoa.h' file not found
I've tried forcing the framework search path with -F to no avail- is there a common underlying issue or have I just screwed my machine?
Reinstall the developer tools. It will take a lot less time than tracking down whatever you broke.

json-framework doesn't work with iPhone SDK 3.0

I can't seem to get my app to compile when using JSON-framework http://code.google.com/p/json-framework/ with iPhone SDK 3.0.
My app compiles fine for the simulator, but when I go to compile for my device I get a 'codesign error' code 1. I've followed all of the installation instructions correctly, and when I remove the 'Additional SDK' reference and 'Other Linker Flags: -Obj-C -ljson' it compiles just fine...but obviously I then can't use JSON in my app.
Any ideas?
You may want to just switch to the code version and not link in the static lib.
It should compile and work fine on 3.0.
On my own project, I too ran into this problem. I was not able to build my app for iPhone OS 2.x using the iPhone 3.0 SDK.
The fix was to set the following at the project level (Get Info):
BaseSDK to iPhone Device 3.0
iPhone Deployment Target to iPhone OS 2.x
Code Signing Resource Rules Path to the same 2.x plist (e.g. /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk/ResourceRules.plist)
The last bit allows a distribution (app store) build to code sign correctly... Otherwise you'll encounter an error "object file format invalid or unsuitable" since the code signer by default will use the same resource rules as the BaseSDK (i.e. 3.0), which is unsuitable for a 2.x app.
Also, be sure to clear any of the above settings at the target level (again, via Get Info).
Phew.
Codesign error means you do not have a valid provisioning profile for the device you are trying to compile to, using the current built settings.
Can you build and deploy sample apps to your phone?
I started using the lovely json-framework for the iPhone but then suddenly found that if I compiled for anything greater than 2.1 for a device, that it would pop up with:
Codesign error: “object file format invalid or unsuitable”
It took me a long time to figure out what was going on, but thanks to a blog post, the fix is this:
On the project settings, on the build tab, search for “Code Signing Resource Rules Path” and set “$(SDKROOT)/ResourceRules.plist” as its value.
I’m not sure how it works as it looks like that is the path it already has, but hey, it seems to work!
that solves the codesign error i was getting, but now I cant compile on 3.0 for some other reason. i'm going to try to link to the code rather than the library.
Sounds like an issue you would want to discuss with the developers, see the support group.
It seems like the code signing isn't extending to the framework. Have you tried linking the framework differently?
And for French persons, here is a tutorial too here too (en Français)
But for your problem I think it's not about JSON but more with your key developer.
