error unrecognized selector sent to class while adding Google Map SDK to iOS6

Question

This is a single view application and I followed the instruction given at link https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start for adding google map SDK to iOS6. ERROR Is:

unrecognized selector sent to class 0xe2b0
2013-02-07 15:21:29.788 mapApp[2061:12e03] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception     
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+[GMSCameraPosition    
cameraWithLatitude:longitude:zoom:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0xe2b0'

AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
   // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil];
    self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;

   //initializing google map api key
   [GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"google's api key goes here"];

   [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
   return YES;

}

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"
#import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h>
@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController
{
    GMSMapView *mapView;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

   GMSCameraPosition *cam = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:13.0245231 
                                                        longitude:77.64072579999993                
                                                             zoom:6];

   mapView = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:cam];
   mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES;

   GMSMarkerOptions *options = [[GMSMarkerOptions alloc]init ];
   options.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(13.025738,77.637809);
   options.title = @"ensign";
   options.snippet = @"kalyan nagar";

   [mapView addMarkerWithOptions:options];

}

main.m

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    @autoreleasepool {
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv,nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}

While tracking the error it is showing at the return statement in main.m which comes from the method -viewDidLoad after executing the first line

GMSCameraPosition *cam = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:13.0245231 
                                                    longitude:77.64072579999993                
                                                         zoom:6];

It escapes the rest of the lines.

Answer 1

Did you add -ObjC to the Other Linker Flags, in step 7 of the instructions?

-- Extra information edit: note that -ObjC is case sensitive.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Make sure you add the -ObjC flag to the 'Build Settings' of your 'Target' and NOT 'Project'.

P.S. Adding it in both places doesn't break it either.

Answer 3

Google Doc says Choose your project, rather than a specific target, and open the Build Settings tab. In the Other Linker Flags section, add -ObjC. If these settings are not visible, change the filter in the Build Settings bar from Basic to All. Sometimes this is wrong.... I had to add the linker flag to the target as well, to get it to work. This should help someone
