I have just downloaded the files for a project into Xcode. (latest self hosted, latest plugin versions, etc) When I build, I get 5 errors starting at line 56 in this section of code: //mask entire screen with a subview... self.mask = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; self.mask.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight); [self.mask setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; [self.mask setAlpha:.25]; //add the mask as a subView... [self.view addSubview:self.mask]; error states: Property 'mask' not found on object of type 'BT_contextMenu *' It appears that this file has been changed from a previous version in app I downloaded a few days ago? The code is different and I am not up to speed to try and change anything. EDIT: If I add the code from the earlier version of the file: //mask entire screen UIView *mask = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; [mask setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; mask.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin); [mask setAlpha:.25]; [self.view addSubview:mask]; and comment out the error it builds EDIT: Tried to run in simulator and get error in file appname_appDelegate.m at Line 546: //make mask and menu in context view full size... [self.contextMenu.mask setFrame:theNavController.view.bounds]; [self.contextMenu.menuTable setFrame:theNavController.view.bounds]; error states: Property 'mask' not found on object of type 'BT_contextMenu *' (same error message) UPDATE: fix for this below. Well done @chris1

I am having the same problem under the same download conditions"(latest self hosted, latest plugin versions, etc)". Hope this help! Blue

You are not alone' This is now happening to a project that was working perfectly last week. The BT_contextMenu.m code has changed in both self hosted and BT.com over night?

Does anyone have an example of what the BT context menu looks like? Jake

HI Jake. It's in the BT 3.0 / BT_Core folder

@jake Here are the errors: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16323370/Screen%20Shot%202014-01-12%20at%2012.26.31%20PM.png

These are problems with the properties not being declared in the .h file. Jake

ackkk. It got me too. I need to learn to search the forum before I spend 3 hours re-downloading source code and poking around. Any idea how to fix? http://s30.postimg.org/hpqkd998x/Screen_Shot_2014_01_12_at_1_13_01_PM.png

Here's an updated .h file that you can include in your projects to fix the errors. Delete the old one from Xcode, and drag this one in. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kgg5f4xqeutzi5s/BT_contextMenu.h

That worked for me. Thanks Chris, way to be - putting out fires on a Sunday.

@Chris: Do you know if the core will be updated soon (to suppress the iAd warnings, resolve the view controller problems, and fix the context menu) Jake

I rippin my hair out over this!!

@Jake - not sure. @Wisertime - what are you having problems with? Did you copy in the file I posted?

i tried with no luck. I'm sure it me. Is it a problem with the package download? should I just wait for it to fix itself? or do you think this error is going to stick around for a while>

not to mention... Xcode 5 is all different. trying to remain calm ;)

Not sure how long it will be before it's fixed - hopefully not long. But copying the file I sent should have fixed it. Are you sure you're having the same errors? Can you post a screenshot of the errors?

That worked for me. Thanks Chris

@Wisertime just checking to see if you are replacing the .m file, not coping the contexts from the new .m file and pasting into your .m file. When I copied and pasted, it didn't work. But when I replaced the file in my project with the file downloaded from dropbox it did work.

worked for me too. 1. select old file, right click + choose Delete 2. Choose 'Move to trash' 3. drag new file in place where old one was 4. Ensure it copies to the project 5. clean the project (command+K+(shift?) 6. build ... 7. contextmenu Error should be gone.

Yup got it to work! Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone, I'm having the same problem, but am not a coder...so this is really stretching my brain. I used the .h replacement (deleted old, then copy and pasted) kindly supplied by Chris and then cleaned and saved it. That worked until the next time I did another build. Now it shows the error with the .m file. I saw that I'm not meant to copy and paste, but where do I delete/add in the new file? I am seriously reluctant to mess around here. Can someone pretty please have a look at the code below and tell me what's going on? I am consuming way too much coffee late at night trying to work this thing through ;) I apologize for the show of ignorance and appreciate your help.

Hi AussieRyan, Thanks! That worked brilliantly. Is there any way to save it so that i don't have to re-insert the code each build? I tried the obvious and selected 'save', but the problem was back the next time I did another build. Not sure if you can answer my next question...while the build is technically a success, the iOS simulator comes up blank, saying "Missing Plugin: The view controller for this plugin was not compiled in the Xcode project". I am using the menu with Image advanced plugin. Thanks heaps! Jen

@Jen: Did you drag the folder, BT_Plugins, into Xcode? Jake

Hi Jake, Yes I did. -Jen

Every time you download source code, you'll need to do this, but not every time you 'build' (clicking run in Xcode forces a build). David will be back soon and will get this fixed.

Nice fix thanks!

AussieRyan.......! Thank you so much as that simple trick worked for me too!

I tried this fix and I am getting five errors afterwards: 1 - Semantic Issue Duplicate interface definition for class 'BT_contextMenu' and 4 - Semantic Issue Property has a previous declaration. Any ideas?

Nevermind. I did a clean and build repeatedly until those errors went away. Persistence always prevails...
