symbol is not present in simulator. If needed you'll need to test this on devices.
32bits limitations
- Disabling the managed linker for device builds can generate object files that are too big for the 32bits native linker
ld
to process properly. The workaround is to enable the managed linker (e.g. Link SDK) on your projects.
Using an older Xcode version
Using an older Xcode version (than the one mentioned in the above requirements) is often possible, but some features may not be available. Also, some limitations might require workarounds, e.g.:
- The static registrar requires Xcode headers files to build applications, leading to
MT0091
orMT4109
errors if API are missing. In most cases enabling the managed linker will help (by removing the API).
