Quick fix for Titanium not building using version 5.5.0.GA

If you should experience the following error when building your application with the 5.5.0.GA Titanium SDK version (or related), this thread might provide a fix for your issue.

 

:  ** BUILD FAILED **

:  The following build commands failed:

:      Ld build/Intermediates/ModuleSamples.build/Debug-iphoneos/ModuleSamples.build/Objects-normal/armv7/ModuleSamples normal armv7

:  (1 failure)

 

When building for an iOS target, Titanium generates an Xcode project that seems to have a configuration issue; namely missing specific linker flags for the Titanium core libraries. To correct this issue, navigate to the <YOUR_PROJECT_ROOT>/build/iphone/ directory. Within it you should find the module.xcconfig file. It should contain a line that reads COM_WIKITUDE_TI_OTHER_LDFLAGS_sdk_iphoneos__=$(inherited) $(WT_TIMODULE_LDFLAGS). If you append $(TICORE_LD_FLAGS) such that it reads COM_WIKITUDE_TI_OTHER_LDFLAGS_sdk_iphoneos__=$(inherited) $(TICORE_LD_FLAGS) $(WT_TIMODULE_LDFLAGS) you should be able to build your app using the Xcode project from the same directory.

 

Please note that this procedure is a crude fix intended to allow builds to succeed in the short term until this issue has been officially hotfixed by a future Titanium SDK release.

 

Additionally note, that the resulting Xcode project has the 'In-App Purchase' and 'Wireless Accessory Configuration' entitlements enabled. Should your App ID not support these entitlements, you will also encounter an error.

 

EDIT 05.10.2016:

 

Instead of following the fix I presented previously, I would recommend replacing the module.xcconfig file in the <sample_root>/modules/iphone/com.wikitude.ti/5.3.0 directory with the module.xcconfig file I attached to this answer. This should eliminate the necessity of fidgeting with the xcconfig file again and again upon building and allow for builds to work from within Appcelerator Studio as usual again.

 

This much more practical fix has been kindly suggested by one of our customers.

 

Naturally, the next release of the Wikitude SDK will include this fix.

 

 

Kind Regards

Hi everybody,

 

as we have still been getting reports regarding this issue, I would like to point out that I edited my original post and added an additional solution which should work for everybody and be less cumbersome to implement.

Please make sure you try it before asking for further assistance. Also note, that the original solution only fixes the device build, if you build for the simulator, the need to adjust the fix accordingly. The new fix, however, should take care of both targets.

 

Kind regards

Daniel
