Question

I am working in a project with multiple classes. Upon importing one of the classes into another, a fatal error is generated stating:

error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘ xxx ‘

xxx is the last line in the .h file that is being imported, i.e.

@interface
{ ..
.. 
xxx
}

Any ideas what this error means? Thanks!

Answer 1

Instance variables defined in braces in an @interface are expected to have a type qualifier at least. e.g.

@interface SomeClass : NSObject
{
    NSString* xx;
 // ^^^^^^^^^ declared type of xx
}
// methods
@end

Also your interface declaration was missing the @end at the end
