Using Tumblr SDK with C4 - (linker error, duplicate symbols)

Question

I'm using CocoaPods to install the tumblr sdk into a c4 project. Without adding any code into the c4workspace i get the following error:

I checked out another question and the guy who answered said that it was something to do with having two global variables with the same name (I'll edit and post the link in a sec)?

I'm using XCode 4.5.2 and OSX 10.7.5

I don't get this error when I try to using the tumblrsdk example projects (after using cocoapods to import), and I dont get it when i build a project in c4 without importing the tumblrsdk.

If you can post your project to a github repo I'll be able to figure out what is going on. — C4 - Travis, Oct 04 '13 at 22:35

I tested the issue in 3 different scenarios.

First, I created a new project using the C4 Single-View Template. I did this with:

Xcode 4.6.3, old installer, precompiled lib
Xcode 5, new installer, raw files
Xcode 5, new installer, precompiled lib

In all 3 I do the following, from Terminal (after installing cocoapods on my comp):

Navigate to the project's top directory
$ pod init
open pod file in editor
uncomment and set: platform :ios, "6.1"
add to target: pod 'TMTumblrSDK'
go back to terminal and run: pod install
open the project's newly created workspace
build + run

For the Xcode 5 projects (both with the .lib and the raw files) the project compiled and ran with only some minor warnings (on the CocoaPods side of things, because I have tight restrictions on my compiler settings).

For the Xcode 4.6.3 project I received the same warning that you received.

Unfortunately, the 4.6.3 project templates are no longer being supported. If you can get your hands on Xcode 5, and the new installer, then this will work for you.
