RKJSONParserJSONKit not found - objective-c

I'm trying to use JSON parsing from RestKit, but I'm receiving
the following compile time error:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_RKJSONParserJSONKit", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in FloorMapLoaderViewController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
RestKit works ok, this being the only error I've seen so far.
This is my import line:
#import <RestKit/Support/JSON/JSONKit/RKJSONParserJSONKit.h>
edit:
oddly, it fails to compile only if I try to create a parser like so:
RKJSONParserJSONKit *parser = [RKJSONParserJSONKit new];
Commenting out this line allows for compilation, but I do need to instance a parser.
How can I fix this error?
Thank you.

Importing means that your source code can see the API, so the IDE knows how to auto-complete and so that the compiler knows how to generate the right object code.
You have a linker error. Once your own code is compiled, it has to all be bundled together with all the code it is dependent on (not counting dynamically linked system libraries). Your linker is telling you that after bundled everything it can find together, not all of it is there.
What you need to do is go to the target you are building, select the Build Phases tab, and add the necessary library to the "Link Binary With Libraries" section.

iOS manually exporting library causes issues

I made a library and I want to test it in a dummy project I made. Both projects are made in Objective-C. When I build my library I get a Successful Build message and three files under the Product directory:
FooIOS.bundle
libFooIOS.a
include
I place these three files at the root level of my dummy project and when I open my myDummyProject.xcworkspace file I see them in my project hierarchy. However, when I build my project I get the following error:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_FooSelectedPageViewController", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in libFooIOS.a(FooViewController.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I did away with some of the obvious checks:
Made sure to reference my external library
I also made sure that both my library and project architectures are set as armv7 arm64
I don't know what else to do. I may be missing another configuration step or it may even be the way I declared something in my library that doesn't conform with my dummy project. Or a discrepancy between projects, perhaps? Any hints or leads would be a great help. Thanks.

_OBJC_CLASS_$_KeyboardViewController", referenced from:objc-class-ref in KeyboardPreferencesController.o

I am totally stuck with an error I am getting when trying to test project on the simulator.
Error looks like:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_KeyboardViewController", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in KeyboardPreferencesController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I am building custom keyboard using keyboard extension and what I am trying to do is that in main application I am implementing settings view to modify keyboard like font change... so of course, it needs to be linked to extension header file KeyboardViewController.h
I have tried to add Other Linker Flags -> $(inherited) in both debug and release, also tried to switch Build Active Architecture Only -> YES but it also does not worked for me.
So is there any other solution for this because I can not find anything what will work for me.
Thanks in advance!
You need to compile and link the implementation file (KeyboardViewController.m?) into your target.
Use Xcode's File Inspector to make sure target membership is turned on. Look at the build phases to make sure the implementation file is included.
If those things are correct, look at the KeyboardViewController.m to make sure it actually has a #implementation section.

Xcode5: unit test linking errors

I seem to get this strange issue when testing an XCTestCase. I created a unit testing bundle, and set my main app as the "target"; now I can write tests against my Core Data NSManagedObjects just fine, but if I include anything else in my app that isn't an NSManagedObject, I get linking errors:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_iCloudListener", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in SLTestToDoWithRepeatInterval.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
This only happens with non-NSManagedObjects. And iCloudListener is definitely in the Compiled Sources for the main app target. The problem is that though I can go and add this particular iCloudListener class into the test target -> Build Phases -> Compile Sources list, and that will make this particular linking error go away, but it introduces new ones since it starts giving linking errors about all the header files from the iCLoudListener class; and if I start adding those, they require more and more files, to the point where I have to include pretty much all of my code into the test target "Compile Sources" section.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Is there a setting which might be causing Xcode to ignore the non-NSManagedObject classes?
It's because the project inserted the core data's xcdatamodeld file in compile sources. Select your project -> Build Phases -> Compile Sources and delete projectName.xcdatamodeld file.
And also check if you have imported .m file instead of .h file, it also gives the same linker error.
Check all the #import codes.
And check if you have added core data frame work in library and imported core data .h file. Check for creation of NSManagedObject and import it's file.
Just try it and reply me if still any error.

Linker error when trying to use SmartfoxServer-framework with a Kobold-2D project

When trying to use the SmartfoxServer-framework inside a Kobold2d project we are getting the following error:
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_CCAsyncObject", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in libcocos2d-extensions-ios.a(CCTextureCache+CCBigImageExtensions.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1
This happends due to the fact, that we have to include the -ObjC linker flag to have the categories loaded, which are defined in the SmartfoxServer-framework. I already read about the need to force-link a static library which contains categories here, but the SmartFoxServer-Framework isn't a static library.
Is there a way to force load a framework, so it includes all the categories without using the -ObjC linker flag? Or is there a convenient way to convert a framework to a static library? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Unless you are using CCBigImage, you can deselect the CCTextureCache+CCBigImageExtensions.h and .m files from the target.
Open the Kobold2D-Libraries project and browse to the group /Extensions/CCBigImage. From the menu choose View -> Utilities -> File Inspector. Select each file and uncheck the target checkbox in File Inspector. Now this particular class won't be compiled anymore and the error is gone.
The problem seems to be that this category uses a private class that's defined only in the implementation file. Unfortunately force loading the entire cocos2d-iphone-extensions project is not a solution because this brings up other errors.

TouchJSON Fails on Compile (link error)

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_objc_unretainedPointer", referenced from:
-[CJSONScanner scanJSONStringConstant:error:] in CJSONScanner.o
-[CJSONSerializer serializeNumber:error:] in CJSONSerializer.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Hey all. Trying to use TouchJSON to do some JSON-y stuff. I followed the read me for the library to the meter I think, but every time I try to compile I get this error. I don't know much about Xcode (I've only been learning Obj-C recently) so I'm clueless about this. Any ideas?
Try to remove "Experimental" folder (and files inside, of course).

Be aware that the code in the Experimental subdirectory of Source is
just that and may not have been extensively tested and/or have extra
dependencies
So it could be a problem about extra dependencies (but always make sure if your project already have linked all dependency libraries/framework)
