Instrument and Deploy iOS app fail

Hi Ranorex,

Our iOS team build our app with ranorex lib was faild. (build fail)
When we add a linker flag "-ObjC -all_load", it cause many linker errors after adding this flag only.
What's the usage of the linker flag "-ObjC -all_load" ?

And we try to build other sample code, we find error = "pointer being freed was not allocated".

Code: Select all

2013-03-07 10:44:32.099 TblMultiSelect[5528:907] <Info | Runtime | Loading UIControl+RxAutomationCategory>

TblMultiSelect(5528,0x3c37ab88) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e885de0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Thanks you for your help.

Hi Ranorex,

The caused by the “–all_load” flag?

The linker tends to load all the headers. If there is any duplicated reference to the same header, the error will appear.

Has any way can deploy iOS app?

Thanks a lot,

We need the linker flags to make sure, that the Ranorex automation classes get loaded at runtime. Because none of the Ranorex automation classes is used by the user application at compile time, the linker would otherwise optimize them away and not invoke the static load methods that hook up all the automation functionality at application startup.

It would help us a lot, if you could post the concrete error messages produced by the linker.

We will investigate the issue with that app as soon as possible.

We were able to track the issue down. It seems it only occurs on real devices, in the simulator everything works as expected (possible work around until next Ranorex version is released). A fix for this problem will be released with the next Ranorex version.
