This can happen when you try to run code built for iOS 7 Base SDK on Xcode 4.x, or if you compile against an older Base SDK in Xcode 5.

The solution is to define what isn’t defined manually using a Macro. Add this to every class that’s complaining and you should be fine:

[emember_protected]

This tells the compiler to define the value if it’s not there, so it has no reason to complain.

How do I know that I’ve got more than one Base SDK?

You can check this either by connecting a device, and see if it appears twice. If it does, then it means Xcode lets you choose which SDK to compile against (the newest one is at the bottom):

Alternatively you can check under Build Settings, find a drop-down menu called Base SDK. I’ve explained more about how to install an older Base SDK here: http://pinkstone.co.uk/how-to-use-ios-6-legacy-look-in-xcode-5/
