iPhone universal app. MoviePlayer.framwork problem


I have application based on 3.0 iPhone OS SDK One of tasks is playing video (I use MPMoviePlayerController for this task) Now I try to make universal app working on both 3.0 and 3.2 OS I did all steps described in apple documentation: Upgrade Current Target for iPad; make run-time checking for symbols using

[[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:@selector(userInterfaceIdiom)]

function. But when I start my application on device - iPhone with OS 3.1.3 my apllication is crashes with next log:

As you can see the error is "Symbol not found: _MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification". This symbol is notification available in MediaPlayer.framework starting from iPhone OS 3.2

So, what am I doing wrong? What I should do to have universal application working correct on OS 3.2 (with new available functionality) and older OSes (with their functionality)?


Solution

  • The content of that constant is the string @"MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification", so you can use this string in place of the constant.

    Alternatively, you could

    1. use functions like dlsym to get the symbol at runtime; or
    2. make that symbol weakly linked (= doing step 1 automatically)
