Problem integrating Sparrow-Extension-Masked-Sprite

jbernabeu

Hi,

When I try to integrate the extension SXMaskedSprite in a project where I have the Sparrow.framework I get 4 errors:

No visible interface for 'SPRenderTexture' declares the selector 'clear'.

I ran the demo project ok ... and I revised the library source and that function it exists.

Any idea ?

I had to compile it inside the Sparrow Framework so it works in my project but as soon as I assign it the mask I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS

I think that I will need some help to get this working right 🙂

Well I have been working in this issue and I have seen that when I compile the extension inside the Sparrow.FrameWork project always get EXC_BAD_ACCESS (I tested with the demo project).

I have been able to integrated with my project but can't compile in release mode to the simulator ... but it works when I build it to device ...

Did you use the classic "source tree variable" approach to link Sparrow to your game, or the new ".framework" method? Because your problem looks similar to a problem that Shilo reported a while ago.

The reason for your problem is probably that the extension calls the new "clear" method on SPRenderTexture, and for some reason it can't find it on your system.

I guess you updated Sparrow to latest version, right? (Master branch.)
I probably didn't mention it, but that extension requires Sparrow 2.1 / the latest development version.

Hi Daniel,

I am using the new ".framework" with the master branch. But something weird is going on ... I can't compile in the RELEASE scheme for the simulator, but I am able to compile in the DEVELOPMENT scheme ...

If I try to compile to iOS Device I am able to compile in both schemes ...

Any idea ???

Shilo

I got no clue what your issue is, but I suggest using the ".a" instead of ".framework". I have had much better luck with ".a".

Daniel

It's really weird that you guys have all those issues. Hm. 😐

I just compiled a game with the ".framework" version for the simulator in Release mode, and it worked just fine.

Could you maybe send me the project (or another one with the same error), jbernabeu? I'd love to get behind the reason for this.

To both of you: could it be that you've got Sparrow still in your "user header search paths" in the project or target settings? That would explain why you didn't get those updated header infos, Shilo.

@Daniel

That could be possible, I thought the ".framework" headers would override the "user header search paths" header files. But than again, my problem was with the ".m" files not updating after re-compiling.

@Daniel

Actual, I even remember that the .h files were correct and the "user header search path" was the location of the Sparrow version that I compiled the ".framework" with. So I don't see why it didn't work. Maybe some time, i'll do another test on a sample project and try to isolate the issue.

Daniel

Thanks, Shilo! I have not the slightest idea what's going on, then.
Very odd. :-/

This is too weird I have two projects very similar and in one I am able to compile in Developer and in Release mode without any problem, but in the other one I keep on with this problem ... pretty weird but I can keep on developing 🙂
