duplicate symbol linker error due to libWeANDSFLib

Question

I am using ASI (ASIHTTPRequest, ASIDownloadCache, Reachability etc) request. Now in my project, I am using reachability.h and .m file.I have added one third party library and in that library I came to know that they are also using ASI library. But as per my knowledge they are using ASIReachability class instead of Reachability. So I added that .h file as well.

Still I am getting linker error which says :

duplicate symbol _kInternetConnection in:

Please help me. Thanking you.

Answer 1

You may be included that files twice in your project so you should remove any one from the project its all because both getting compiled . Choose project--> go to Build Phases--> Type filename which showing it as error and check whether ho many files are there with same name and choose then remove any one from the list

Answer 2

You've receive duplicate symbol error. So you've to search this string _kConnectionDown, _kReachabilityChangedNotification, _kLocalWiFiConnection, _kInternetConnection, and remove duplication from files. I think, you may import Reachability class twice, one from libWeANDSFLibrary.a and another from ASI. Check this. Hope, help you.
