Question

I upgraded to XCode 4 and one of my projects won’t compile anymore. Has anyone had this problem? Full error stack below (slightly reformatted for legibility):

Answer 1

You have declared a global iVar with an assigned value (e.g. int i = 2;) with the same name in 2 different classes, one of those classes being StartChallengeViewController. If cleaning the project (Cmd Shift K) doesn’t help, try renaming one of the iVars to something else, or not giving it an initial value.
