JSON error on iPhone app

Question

i am getting error when i try to run an app on my simulator. I have copied the JSON(JSON Framework) project in my app but my simulator crashes when it compiles the below lines,(I am using iOS 4.2)

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSString *jsonString = [NSString stringWithString:@"{\"foo\": \"bar\"}"];
    NSDictionary *dictionary = [jsonString JSONValue];
    NSLog(@"Dictionary value for \"foo\" is \"%@\"", [dictionary objectForKey:@"foo"]);
}

ERROR:

Answer 1

Try adding -ObjC -all_load to the OTHER_LINKER_FLAGS setting. If that is not an option, you could try to use the SBJsonParser or SBJsonWriter objects directly rather than the category methods.

Answer 2

Adding -ObjC -all_load to app target->build settings ->Linking ->Other Linker Flags -> Debug worked in XCode 4.

Earlier it was crashing

Answer 3

Make sure that SBJSON files are being compiled! Target->Build phases->Compile files <- check if the *.m files of SBJSON are there!
