Tons of strange parse errors in Xcode

Question

I'm creating a project that needs ZipArchive so I added the library and did everything needed in order for it to work but when i tried compiling the project i got this errors: enter image description here

It is not a problem with the linker. I added everything needed and I just cant seem to get rid of the errors

@duDE in which of the files? when i try to just add it to one of the files it says it cannot be found — Eli Braginskiy, Jul 12 '13 at 15:13
Please include foundation framework and UIKit framework if not there — iEinstein, Jul 12 '13 at 15:16
I'm guessing you're missing some imports from your PROJECTNAME_Prefix.pch file. Maybe the #import — Matt Hudson, Jul 12 '13 at 15:52

I have already seen these kinds of errors a million times when I was on Xcode 4.2. I bet you are on Xcode 4.2 right now when you compiled it.

If you want to use ZipArchive then upgrade your Xcode to latest 4.6 and all these errors will go away.

This is an old thread, but this ZipArchive library is still useful.

From a similar question, the problem is as follows:

The compiler will try to import Objective-C frameworks into C source code. The minizip c files (zip.c, unzip.c, etc.) will thus try to import Objective-C frameworks as well.

To prevent this c files from importing Objective-C frameworks, wrap the entire .pch file like so:

#ifdef __OBJC__

// Your .pch contents

#endif

However, there is a Cocoa pod that has addressed all these issues:
