I'm trying to build and test an app with the xcode simulator, but during the building I get errors in ACAccount.h, ACAccountType.h, etc. The "strange thing" (at least for me as i'm completely new in using xcode) is that if I click on the .h files with errors they do not appear under the project code but under
Simulator - iOS 7.1-> Frameworks -> Accounts -> ACAccount.h
which is unmodifiable.
Examples of the errors are:
line:
@class ACAccountType,ACAccount Credential; --> Illegal interface qualifier
ACCOUNTS_CLASS_AVAILABLE(NA, 5_0)
@interface ACAccount : NSObject -->Objective-C declarations may only appear in global scope
If the .h are predefined files.. How can I solve these errors?
Many thanks in advance!
Generally when you encounter items like the 'illegal interface qualifier' in system provided headers it indicates that you've placed the #import
statement within an @interface
block, like:
@interface foo ()
#import <Accounts/ACAccount.h>
@end
This generates errors about the content in the file being imported (e.g. your illegal interface qualifier
error), while the actual issue is that putting #import
statements within an @interface
block is invalid.
You should put #import
statements together at the top of the file, outside of any @interface
or @implementation
blocks.
If you put it into the @implementation
section, the error becomes:
error: Objective-C declarations may only appear in global scope
