Why don't the WWDC 2010 video capture samples work in the Simulator?

Question

I downloaded the latest video capture samples from WWDC 2010 and am trying to run them in my simulator.

Samples in general are supposed to run without any tinkering so I just unzipped a bunch of them and tried to run them in Xcode. None of the ones I tried runs. For example when I unzip and try to build findMyiCone I get 45 errors.

Here are the first few lines

In file included from /Users/aw/Desktop/Sample code/WWDC10-SampleCode/FindMyiCone/Classes/ProcessViewController.h:49,

/Users/aw/Desktop/Sample code/WWDC10-SampleCode/FindMyiCone/Classes/CaptureSessionManager.h:56: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'AVCaptureConnection'

Im using Xcode 3.2.3 64 bit and have installed iPhone 4.0 SDK

My other apps work fine.

Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas what might be happening?

Camera samples only run in the device ;) There is no simulator support.
