Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_User", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in AppDelegate.o
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_AuthenticationViewController", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in AppDelegate.o
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_AppHelpers", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in AppDelegate.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

this is the error I am getting when I try to run the file … I have imported those classes from another project into this one which was non arc based and converted to ARC. I got this error after successfully removing all the references to autorelease and retains from it.

Answer 1

Did you try Product->Clean?
Or restarting XCode?
Did you make sure you’ve included everything in the Targets->Build Phases->Compile Sources? Xcode does this for you, but sometimes it misses things.
