Getting Sparrow 1.4 to run on XCode 6.0.1

caamodt

Hi!
I have to modify some older apps (using Sparrow 1.4) to work on new iphones. But it is a while since I last compiled these projects...

I get an error trying to compile in new XCode (using SDK 7.0):

/Developer/Library/sparrow.1.4/sparrow/src/Classes/SPPoolObject.m:83:33: Direct access to Objective-C's isa is deprecated in favor of object_getClass()

Has anyone come across this, and is there a way to fix it?

Hey Christian,

the simplest way around this would be to deactivate object pooling completely; I guess that your apps were built with much older hardware in mind, so new phones shouldn't have a problem with that. You just have to define the preprocessor macro "DISABLE_MEMORY_POOLING".

Alternatively, you can simply copy the SPPoolObject class from Sparrow 2.0.1 (or from 2.1, but that one's a little more complex).

Please let me know if that helps!

Can't speak for caamodt, but it certainly helped me! Just ran into the same problem so updating things now.

Thanks!
