IBM-Bluemix Push Service build for iOS Simulator fails


I'm trying to build my Cordova-app that's using the IBM-Push Service for the iOS Simulator. It fails with the following error:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_IMFPushClient", referenced from:
      _globalinit_33_39105BEEF401CB604E77C276DFBC7CAA_func0 in CDVMFPPush.o

      ...
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

When I build the app for a real device, it works without problems.

I am aware that Push Notifications aren't working on the simulator, but I need to take screenshots for the upload to the App Store.


Solution

  • Push Notifications will only work on an actual device for iOS.

    I would advise connecting your iOS app to your Mac and using Quicktime to capture your screen.

    Here is a CNET article about this feature.

    Let me know if this will work for you.
