Duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64 under Xcode

For me, changing 'No Common Blocks' from Yes to No ( under Targets->Build Settings->Apple LLVM - Code Generation ) fixed the problem.


Stupid one, but make sure you haven't #imported a .m file by mistake somewhere

Means that you have loaded same functions twice. As the issue disappear after removing -ObjC from Other Linker Flags, this means that this option result that functions loads twice:

from Technical Q&A

This flag causes the linker to load every object file in the library that defines an Objective-C class or category. While this option will typically result in a larger executable (due to additional object code loaded into the application), it will allow the successful creation of effective Objective-C static libraries that contain categories on existing classes.

In my case, I just created a header file to define constant strings like this:

NSString *const AppDescriptionString = @"Healthy is the best way to keep fit";

I solved this scenario by using static:

static NSString *const AppDescriptionString = @"Healthy is the best way to keep fit";
