Just experienced a similar problem – but it was actually an xcode glitch. Compiled the project- and kept getting symbol not found. Looked on the file list and the file which contained the missing class wasn’t compiled (even when I manually did “compile”). The box was ticked, so what the heck.

I just unticked the box, did a full project recompile, then ticked it again and it worked fine after. Silly xcode bug.

Many thanks! I have 2 targets and some files weren’t in my target.

Another thing that might cause this is if you are running the app in the simulator and you’ve forgotten to add the Core Graphics framework to your project.
