Parse Issue: Expected Statement only when archiving

Question

I get a Parse Issue Expected Statement error only when trying to archive my XCode project. I do not receive this error and the app runs fine when I regularly build it instead of archiving.

    -(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;

    if ([[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:SavedUsername] length] && [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:SavedPassword] length]) {
        [self.btnRememberMe setSelected:YES];
        self.isButtonSelected = YES;
        self.txtFieldUsername.text = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:SavedUsername];
        self.txtFieldPassword.text = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:SavedPassword];

//        NSLog(@"username = %@ , pass = %@",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:SavedUsername], [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:SavedPassword]);
        if ([self isAllFieldVerified])
            #ifdef DEBUG
                NSLog(@"all fields are verified");
            #endif
            //[self makeWebAPICallMethodCalling];
    }else {
        [self.btnRememberMe setSelected:NO];
        self.isButtonSelected = YES;
        self.txtFieldUsername.text = @"";
        self.txtFieldPassword.text = @"";
    }


}

The parser error is thrown by the else line...

enclose the nested if statement, i.e. if ([self isAllFieldVerified]), with brackets and try again. — x4h1d, Jul 21 '14 at 18:59

The problem is your #ifdef for the NSLog statement. When you do a non-debug build the NSLog line isn't there leaving an if statement with no code.

Try this:

#ifdef DEBUG
    if ([self isAllFieldVerified])
        NSLog(@"all fields are verified");
#endif

or at least add curly braces:

    if ([self isAllFieldVerified]) {
        #ifdef DEBUG
            NSLog(@"all fields are verified");
        #endif
    }

This is an example of why it's always a good idea to use curly braces, even if there is only one line.

Thanks that worked. Why would this still compile and run on my iphone if it doesn't work on the archiver? – Timothy Frisch Jul 21 '14 at 19:02

As I stated at the start of my answer, the code is valid for a debug build but not a non-debug build. That's the whole point of the `#ifdef DEBUG` line. When you were testing on your iPhone you were doing a debug build but when you archive you do a distribution (non-debug) build. – rmaddy Jul 21 '14 at 19:04
