iPhone Simulator Error: dyld: Symbol not found: _objc_collect_if_needed
- by freespace
I have been seeing the following error message a lot whenever I run something in the simulator:
dyld: Symbol not found: _objc_collect_if_needed
Referenced from: /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Foundation
Expected in: /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Foundation
I am running XCode 3.2.2 on OS X 10.6.3, and have reinstalled the SDK twice with no avail. This error makes running any code on the simulator something of a Russian Roulette, but with 5 out of 6 chambers loaded.
I have checked the files mentioned in the error message, and they all checkout as being present.
This sometimes go away if I restart XCode. Other times I have to logout, or even restart. And sometimes nothing works.
I have googled this, even tried apple's developer forums. Other than a reference to this in the MonoTouch list, this bug appears to be completely unknown otherwise. Anything help would be greatly appreciated - this is a real PITA.
Cheers,
Steve
