Linker command failed with exit code 1 - duplicate

Question

Since I've updated to Xcode 8.1 I can't archive and also not run in Release mode (in debug mode its working). The error is that there are several "duplicate symbols for architecture arm64" and all are "duplicate symbol __TMRbBp". Whats that?

Answer 1

I had removed files from Compile Sources in Build Phases in Targets. I added main.m and it worked.

Answer 2

Don't double click Project.xcodeproj to start your xcode project. Instead, close your project and open the xcworkspace.

File -> Close Workspace

File -> Open -> Search your project folder for Project.xcworkspace

All my errors are gone.

Answer 3

1.Close your project:Completely quit Xcode. 2.Go to your project location:there you will find two files in you root folder with varying extensions: Appname.xcodeproj and Appname.xcworkspace

Now open your project by Double clicking on file with the extensions xcworkspace.(***Appname.xcworkspace*)**

Yourproject will open in xcode. Now run your project again.

If you pay close attention when installing your pods,firebase makes it clear to open your project with your-project.xcworkspace after installing pods firebaseIOS Setup

 $ cd your-project directory
 $ pod init

Add to Podfile

pod 'Firebase/Core'

And finally:

    $ pod install
    $ open your-project.xcworkspace

Dont forget to add firebase to your AppDelegate

If you're using Ionic and the Push and Console plugins that's the problem. Remove the cordova console plugin (which is deprecated) and the error will disappear.

The linker error is saying that a library is duplicated which is, in fact, true because the console plugin is already in cordova-ios 4.5+

It took me a couple of hours to figure this out!

Answer 5

I ran into this problem recently creating a new project and adding some pods (AlamoFire specifically) to the project. Troubled with it a couple hours or so recreating the project (it was new) several times. Tried all the methods here and no luck.

Eventually I figured out that it was because XCode V10.1 was also opening the old project file along with the new pod-created workspace when I opened the workspace via command line "open myProject.xcworkspace" when I reopened the project after doing "pod install"

Closing all projects before exiting XCode before I did my "pod install" fixed everything for me.

Answer 6

In my case

1. Select your project (In my case i have 2 targets)
2. Go to Build Phases
3. Compile Sources
4. Check if the number of items on each targets is the same (mine was different)
5. Add the missing file / Remove the duplicated file
