Now after updating to iOS6, its not working. It shows a following error.

    ld: fil         


        

Answer 1

I am learning IOS development. After few days digging,

Here is the tutorial for installing ZBar SDK.

1, The accepted answer is correct, but with some limitations. (tried, works!)

2, The alternative solution is here. (tried, works!)

3, The best is to build the all different architectures separated then bind them using lipo: Great Solution (tried, brilliant!)

Some readings for understanding those architectures:

Answer 2

I have same problem but I just added armv6 and armv7 then it works for iOS6. Just insert armv6.

Answer 3

The hg sources download/re-compilation tutorial is great, but you don't need to do all that.

Just browse to http://sourceforge.net/projects/zbar/files/iPhoneSDK/beta/ and download ZBarSDK-1.3.1.dmg, and everything will work out of the box for the latest architectures (in my case armv7, armv7s).

Update:

Some of you reported issues with ZBarSDK on XCode 5, iOS 7 or architectures arm64... well I went back to this project today and experienced similar issues and found that there is a ZBarSDK library that is compiled to work with iOS 7 at: http://www.nerdvision.net/app-development/ios/zbar-sdk. I Just replaced the old files with the new ones and my project compiled. Note that the Architectures in my project's Build Settings are set to amrv7, arm64 ($ARCHS_STANDARD), Base SDK is set to iOS 8.0 and I have the Build Active Architectures Only flag set to Yes.

There is a question here at SO about this: zbar SDK dont work for armv7s(iPad 4 iOS 7)

Thanks to @cdescours for the tip!
