three20 and iOS 6 not working

Question

I was just trying out a project of mine which had Three20 in it and it seems that it doesn't compile/gives me build error. Seems like it's because some of the UITouch interface has changed. Wonder if there's a quick fix to do this?

Seems like here is the issue:

UITouch ivars have been removed of the iOS 6 SDK headers: private API access in UIViewAdditions breaks the build on iOS 6.

Not an answer to your specific question, but Three20 hasn't been updated in over a year and even Facebook, who it was developed for and by, has stopped using it. That's a pretty clear sign that you should probably start moving away from it as well. – Faeroese

Isn't iOS 6 under NDA anyway? – Epicedium

I agree with mark, time to move away from three20. I think we've gotten away with three20 on iOS6 with the skin of our teeth, but I don't think it will survive iOS7 .. I'm just about to begin a complete rebuild of my app which is completely reliant on three20 so that I don't end up screwed when iOS7 comes out. Painful, but necessary – Impulsive

Anyone have any recommended alternatives to Three20? – Ariminum

Answer 1

This patch on GitHub seems like it fixes this problem when using Three20 under iOS 6.

Basically the patch is to update src/Three20UI/Headers/UIViewAdditions.h and src/Three20UI/Headers/UIViewAdditions.m and change all references of

#ifdef DEBUG

to this:

#ifdef DEBUG_TOUCHES

Thank you! Updating to new iOS versions ALWAYS breaks three20, this was probably the easiest update yet thanks to your info. – Matthieu

Thank you for this! For anyone like me that wants to keep their submodules sanitary, I've created a branch in my fork with this patch: github.com/cglong/three20/tree/ios6 – Sthilaire
