I am working on a project, and when I build the project, I got an issue which is the following:
Ld /Users/KiKo-SaMa/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SpaceInvaders-cgcsumybmrxbddfqdwhevdvubdic/Build/Products/Debug/SpaceInvaders.app/Contents/MacOS/SpaceInvaders normal x86_64

ld: 1 duplicate symbol for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
At first, I looked at the questions here and tried to understand the error message, it seemed I had a duplicate variable name, so I changed it and when I try to build it again, I keep getting the same error, I checked also for duplicate function names, nothing seems to be wrong with my code. I also checked for the includes, because in a question, one of the solutions was including .m instead of .h. Can someone please help me with this.
I don’t know if this is relevant, but at first I got 3 issues, it seemed I had to add to the “Compile Sources” of the “Build Phases” of my project two C files, and now I only get 1 issue which is the above one.
Thanks
First go to Organizer(top right), Projects , Select project (left column) , Delete derived data
If this doesnt do the trick…then :
Check every file(even header files) for : Cycle
You will find it in two files…delete it from one file…you are good to go
