Undefined symbols for architecture i386 when trying to compile AFNetworking 2.0

Question

I added AFNetworking 2.0 to my project. I did it without the use CocoaPods - I just added the files to the project, making sure to copy the files to target.

When I try to compile the project I get the following error:

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:

What is wrong with my project?

Answer 1

Your missing iOS frameworks in the project. I bet security framework is one of them from the names I see.

Answer 2

#import <Security/Security.h> in your PCH file + make sure the library is in "Link Binary With Libraries".

Answer 3

Just add security.framework in your project.
