Getting Error Loading Invite View

[rankinit]

Getting this issue on the latest branchio using CocoaPods. *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </var/containers/Bundle/Application/5300DA99-B369-446D-8F5E-A04D66D988AB/MyApp.app> (loaded)' with name 'BranchInviteViewController''

Hi @hsavit1, sorry you're seeing issues. Can you tell me first how you're including the code? It appears that the bundle you have is missing the Invite Controller, though I'm not sure why that would be the case. I'll try to look into this shortly, but may not be able to get back to you with more info until tomorrow.

[hsavit1]

Thanks @shortstuffsushi for the quick reply. I've installed the BranchInvite through cocoapods, and most functions have been working smoothly thus far. I can see all of the files including the BranchInviteViewController Xib, however Xcode still gives me this NSInternalInconsistencyException at runtime.

[shortstuffsushi]

When you look at the Target Membership in Xcode, is that BranchInviteViewController.xib file ticked for the BranchInviteBundle?

[shortstuffsushi]

Like this

[hsavit1]

Yes, I think that was a very good question to ask, but unfortunately it looks exactly like that! I will try a few more things and get back to you shortly

[hsavit1]

P.S. Im working with an 8.0 deployment target xcode 6.3

[hsavit1]

interestingly, it gets through this method without crashing

+ (UINavigationController *)branchInviteViewControllerWithDelegate:(id <BranchInviteControllerDelegate>)delegate {
NSBundle *branchInviteBundle = [BranchInviteBundleUtil branchInviteBundle];
BranchInviteViewController *branchInviteController = [[BranchInviteViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"BranchInviteViewController" bundle:branchInviteBundle];
branchInviteController.delegate = delegate;

return [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:branchInviteController];
}

[hsavit1]

Also ive tried most of the standard things like clean/build , deleting derived data, reinstalling the cocoapods, checking the copybundle-rescoures, etc

It crashes on
[super loadView];

in the branch invite view controller

[hsavit1]

so i did a little investigation, and the bundle does exist, although i had to do some hackery to actually get it

however, the class still cannot access the BranchInviteDefaultContactCell. When I check all the Nib contents in the bundle, I can't find any objects

+ (NSBundle *)branchInviteBundle {
NSString *branchInviteBundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"BranchInvite" ofType:@"bundle"];
NSBundle *branchInviteBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:branchInviteBundlePath];

NSArray *allbundles = [NSBundle allBundles];
NSBundle *bnd;
for(NSBundle *bundle in allbundles){
    if ([bundle.resourcePath containsString:@"mobile/Containers"]) {
        bnd = bundle;
    }
}

return bnd;
}

+ (UINib *)nibNamed:(NSString *)nibName {
NSBundle *branchInviteBundle = [BranchInviteBundleUtil branchInviteBundle];

NSArray *n = [branchInviteBundle pathsForResourcesOfType:@"nib" inDirectory:branchInviteBundle.bundlePath];


UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:nibName bundle:branchInviteBundle];

//    NSArray   *niby = [nib instantiateWithOwner:nil options:nil];

return nib;
}

[shortstuffsushi]

@hsavit1 you can check the actual contents of a bundle on your file system -- a bundle is really just a directory. Could you locate it on your file system and see what's inside of it?

[hsavit1]

@shortstuffsushi I decided it just wasn't worth it to continue going with this. I just installed the SDK manually and it works! Thanks for trying to help

[shortstuffsushi]

Oh, so you're only no longer using Cocoapods, and that resolved it for you? I'm curious - are you trying to develop an iPad app? I just ran across this, which may be of note. However, if you got it working, I may stop pursuing for now.

[hsavit1]

Nope, iPhone. I decided to use the SDK instead. Still using cocoapods for other pods. Best of luck- I'm assuming this is Xcode not being nice but you never know. This is def a tough error to figure out, I'd suggest you move on to other things lol

[juanpdelat]

@shortstuffsushi I am having the same issue, I fixed it (hacked really) by adding manually the resources folder to my project, I am assuming there is an issue with that folder in the pod, although the BranchWelcomeViewController seems to be working correctly.

I will try to dig a little further tomorrow.

[shortstuffsushi]

Hi @juanpdelat. Thanks for digging. I'm actually not working with Branch anymore, or maintaining this project, if you need help from our end, try @aaustin or @danwalkowski

These issues are due to a build configuration problem that I haven't sorted out yet. The example app runs fine in the simulator, but -only- on iPhones, which I believe is just a lucky coincidence. It crashes immediately if you try to run it on an iPad, because it can't load the invite xibs.

[fogunkoya]

@aaustin Hi there Austin was this issue ever sorted out?

[aaustin]

Yes - this should be resolved now due to the commits in Feb! I'm closing the ticket out.

[timefrancesco]

same here

[papanton]

same issue here for latest version using swift

[francisjervis]

See #40 - this should have been fixed with the merge for #38 but it looks like those changes weren't pushed to release?
