iOS Question App is now failing

[Tom2525]

I have an app that was created a few years ago. It's been working fine and today I attempted to run a debug version and it failed. A release version failed too.

Application_Start
Error occurred on line: 18 (Main)

Application_Active

Line 18 is below and I don't understand why it's failing on that line.

  #PlistExtra:<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key><string>Select your photo.</string>

I haven't changed anything since the last time it compiled. I'm using 4.81 and my iPhone is 11.3.

Tom.... Has there been a library update you have missed?

Do also check also that if your up-to-date library is in /Additional Libraries... that you don't have an older version that still lingers in /Libraries... that's a real gotcha!

Probably an old library version. Thanks for the information.

One of the views in Process_Globals is declared with the wrong type.

One of the views in Process_Globals is declared with the wrong type.

The app has worked fine for a few years. Can this actually be possible if the code hasn't changed?

 

[Tom2525]

Can anyone tell me if something looks incorrect?

[Erel]

Can this actually be possible if the code hasn't changed?

Yes. In older versions of B4i the views types were not verified and in most cases resulted in other errors.

The fix is very simple. Go over the declared views and find the one that is not with the correct type.

I went over every variable. The only errors I have are:

1. Warning 9 - Unused variable
2. Warning 10 - Never assigned any value
3. Warning 32 - Library not used

There are no errors that have the wrong type. Would any of the above warnings result in not being able to compile the program?

 

[Erel]

There will not be any warning about it.

There is a mismatch between the view type in the layout file that you are loading and the variable type in Process_Globals.

Ok, thanks. Just a comment, perhaps it would be a good idea to raise that as some type of fault because now it's going to take some time to find out where the problem is. The app has worked well for 3 years and now it won't compile.
