ios/objective-C: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

For a slow-loading VC, I decided to delete all the excess code that was commented out. Before doing this I copied all the code from the class into TextEdit and saved it to my desktop. Then I began cutting out extraneous code but because there was a mixture of // and /* */ in the course of cutting it out I accidentally deleted a closing brace causing the entire remainder of the code to turn green.

Because I couldn't immediately figure out what I had cut correctly and whether I cut too much, I decided to copy the entire contents from the backed up textEdit file and replace the original code in the class--or so I thought. However, since doing that the App will no longer run as it gives the following error:

ld: 10 duplicate symbols for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This is new to me and I can't figure out what to do. The name of the file that I copied from textEdit was SettingsVC. There is also another file in the project called IDSettings that does something different, however, I did not do anything to that.

There are no red image files in the navigator pane. However, the xctest file is in red although I've read this is not unusual.

Would appreciate any advice on how to fix this problem.

The error report says clearly that there are a lot of duplicate declarations in the files SettingsVC and IDSettings.

Press ⇧⌘F and type for example reportProblemRow to find the duplicates and delete or comment out one of them.

Remove or comment out all other duplicates the same way.

Remove the -ObjC Linker flag from Other Linker Flags under the `project settings'

Solution 3

You may accidently added two same files or frameworks.

Solution 4
