Class PLBuildVersion is implemented in both frameworks
XcodeIos10Xcode8Xcode Problem Overview
iOS 10 / Xcode 8 GM build getting the below, never had it before on Xcode 7. Any ideas?
> objc[25161]: Class PLBuildVersion is implemented in both > /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AssetsLibraryServices.framework/AssetsLibraryServices > (0x12049a910) and > /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PhotoLibraryServices.framework/PhotoLibraryServices > (0x1202c4210). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
(NOTE: Only seems to happen in simulator, does not appear on real device).
Xcode Solutions
Solution 1 - Xcode
Main Idea
Main idea is simple:
If your app (or dependencies, such as Pods) uses framework, that uses explicit (or implicit) PhotoLibraryServices.framework
or AssetsLibraryServices.framework
as dependency, Xcode warns you (even if you are using only one of them). It might be Photos/PhotosUI.framework
or AssetsLibrary.framework
, or another (I don't have full list of dependencies, but it is possible).
What is the problem?
Class with name PLBuildVersion
is defined in both PhotoLibraryServices.framework
and AssetsLibraryServices.framework
. Class name is unique in Objective-C (you can't define 2 classes with same name), so it is undefined which one will be used in runtime.
However, I think that it will not be a problem, because both classes have same methods and fields (checked this with disassembler) and I guess that both were compiled from the same source.
Radar is already sent.
Solution 2 - Xcode
As per answer from Apple employee on Apple's Developer Forum:
> You don't control either of the class sources listed, so there isn't anything you can or should do – aside from Reporting a Bug.
Solution 3 - Xcode
I was unable to find a way to get rid of the warning, but if you want to prevent the app from crashing, you need to provide a description for why you are accessing the camera, photo library, etc. This is new in iOS10.
Input the following into your Info.plist
file.
Photo
Key: Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description
Value: $(PRODUCT_NAME) photo use
Camera
Key: Privacy - Camera Usage Description
Value: $(PRODUCT_NAME) camera use

Solution 4 - Xcode
I find you can get this error merely by using a UIWebView. My solution was to replace my use of UIWebView with WKWebView.
Solution 5 - Xcode
I had this after adding Answers on Fabric to my project.
Deleting derived data did the trick for me. (shift alt command k in XCode)
Edit a year later:
After deleting derived data, always exit XCode and start it again.
In unrelated cases I have the impression that deleting derived data does not clear XCode’s in memory caches of the derived data.
Solution 6 - Xcode
Resetting the iOS simulator fixed this for me. Simulator -> Reset Content And Settings.
Solution 7 - Xcode
In my case this warning started to appear after opening a second xcode project and running the second app on the simulator. After changing back to the first app, the warning started to appear. I just quit the Simulator and Xcode and reopened my project. The warning disappeared after that. If that doesn't solve it, proceed with the other answers. Xcode can be really picky sometimes.
