If so, you'll need to add the Twitter Framework to your Xcode project before compile. If this is the case, and this is the cause, it serves all of us as a good reminder to read the README / description info included with each plugin. If this is NOT the case, I'm not sure what is?

By the way, what plugin are you trying to load? Comments There should be some text above that error, please copy/paste it here and I'll see if I can figure out what to do.

But, regardless of whether or not it's related to the PDF / Doc plugin, ALL the plugins are included in your Xcode project. This isn't going to be related to a plugin, in a literal sense. It's going to be related to the Frameworks that your project is using. When you download the project and open it in Xcode, some Frameworks are already added to the project. For sure a "linker" error is Xcode's way of saying "hey, you're trying to use a framework in your source code that you have not added to your project" It could be that there is something funky going on with your Xcode install in that it could be that the paths to the actual Frameworks is different than the rest of ours. Not sure, just thinking. Do this... a) Open your Xcode project, visit Build Settings > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries section. You should see a list of Frameworks like... CoreAudio.framework CoreLocation.framework Foundation.framework SystemConfiguration.framework .... .... There are about a dozen of them. b) Take a screenshot of the ones listed so you hava reference. c) Use the "-" (minus) sign at the end of the list and remove them all. d) Use the "+" (plus) sign at the end of the list and re-add them all (using your screenshot as a reference). When you add them, you'll be explicitly telling Xcode where they are on your machine. This may straighten out why the Xcode project can't seem to find them. Comments OK.
