.dylib file is missing

Question

I am trying to compile my project in iOS 9. I am using XCode7. Here is how it looks like: error:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't open file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS9.0.sdk/usr/lib/libz.dylib (No such file or directory)
error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't open file: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS9.0.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib (No such file or directory)

My dylib files shows in red color so i tried to add it again but the is no dylib files, all the files are shown in .tbd instead of .dylib. Please help me on this..

Solution 1

At last i fixed it. https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/4572. Add the dylib files into "Other Linker Flags".

Solution 2

Here's what worked for me.

1. Go into your Targets, Build Phases, "Link Binary with libraries", and click on the + button.

2. Click on the "Add other..." button

3. Hit CMD+Shift+G to open the "Go to folder" dialog, and cut'n'paste the folder: /usr/lib

4. In the top-right search box, type in a section of your "missing" file, which for me, was libsqlite3.dylib, then click on Open.

This should link in the file which was previously missing.

(Tested with Xcode 7.1)

Solution 3

Remove it from "Link Binary with Libraries" fixed my error.

Solution 4

libz.dylib is now found under libz.tbd

the .tbd files are new "text-based stub libraries", that provide a much more compact version of the stub libraries for use in the SDK

see Swift 2 / iOS 9 - libz.dylib not found

are you trying to integrate any other SDK into your project ? Or is it just a plain code template ?

i am trying to integrate my own library to this project.. Both having .dylib libraries.
