GoogleMaps basic iOS demo app crash - unrecognized selector sent to instance

Question

Im trying to run the basic iOS demo SDK code. I have created the API keyand it loads ok. Although i\'ve transfered the code from viewDidLoad to loadView the effect remains.

Answer 1

It's important to note that you should be adding the -ObjC to the Other Linker Flags section in your project.... NOT in your specific target.

Answer 2

Other people have mentioned the following section from Google's Documentation

Choose your project, rather than a specific target, and open the Build Settings tab. In the Other Linker Flags section, add -ObjC. If these settings are not visible, change the filter in the Build Settings bar from Basic to All.

However, it wasn't until I added the -ObjC flag into my projects 'Other Linker Flags' section, and NOT the targets 'Other Linker Flags' section, was I able to resolve the unrecognized selector error.

Answer 3

You most probably have forgotten to do this: (as stated in the google docs)

Choose your project, rather than a specific target, and open the Build Settings tab. In the Other Linker Flags section, add -ObjC. If these settings are not visible, change the filter in the Build Settings bar from Basic to All.
