I'm making an application in which I'm doing frame by frame animation(I KNOW THAT THERE ARE EAYER WAYS BUT I WANT A CHALLENGE).

When I run the debugger on my iPhone the debugger doesn't load my images it says this
HTML: 
warning: Unable to read symbols for ""/Users/**************/Documents/Bob Pics/Bob/build/Debug-iphoneos"/Bob.app/Bob" (file not found).
warning: Unable to read symbols from "Bob" (not yet mapped into memory).

Yes my apps name is bob.

Someone please help!

Shouldn't it be Bob.jpg or Bob.png at the end or something?
 
yes

yes the images are .png but those strings you re seeing are the locations of the pictures on my mac.
 
Yes!

I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT.
It works in the simulator but it doesn't load the images when i put the app on my iPhone.

You need to copy the images to your Resources folder and not just link them. That is, make sure you have checked the "Copy items into destination group's folder" choice as you import the images to your project. Otherwise, you'll get that error from your first post.
 
I'm confused. The debugger doesn't display images. The path you show is for the app Bob, not any pictures.

Just for fun, try removing the space in the path.
 
So, first of all, the warnings you posted are about gdb not being able to load debugging symbols. That has nothing to do with your app loading images. Two totally different things.

So as far as the images are concerned, one common thing I see with our team is forgetting that the iPhone filesystem is case sensitive. So I would check the case of the filenames of the images carefully in your project and in your code that loads them.
 
image files

my image files are
picture 1
picture 2
picture 3
...
and so on.
 
OK, I guess we've deduced that the problem is that the app doesn't succeed in loading images on the device.

If you look in the app bundle in the build folder are the images there?

Can you show the code that you use to load an image?

I recommend that you don't have spaces in file names and file paths. While this is the 21st century and all this seems to gum up the works every so often. Some of the tools we use are older than most of the posters on this forum and spaces can make them hiccup. Use camel case or underscores or dots to make the file names more readable.
 
will do

i'll do that but theres 101 pictures do you know if there is a faster way then doing it 1 by 1.

Do you mean change the names? Maybe there's a faster way in the terminal.

What about the other two questions I asked?

Can you confirm that this is correct:

true

that is true, well I'm not sure either way when i start my app on my computer it works when i do it on my iPhone it doesn't work
 
OK, the images don't load on the device.

There are a couple usual reasons that images don't load.

The images aren't there.

There's something defective in the image loading code.

Are you still getting the error from the first post when you run on a device?

I still suspect the images haven't been copied to the project. Can you right-click on the pic1.png, Get Info, General tab, and report back to us what the Full Path says?
 
It says this

Full path /Users/harryslotwiner1/Documents/Bob Pics/Bob/Picture1.png
 
What happens if you cut down that list of images to the first two or three?

This might be a memory problem.

Also, I don't see the correspondence between

/Users/harryslotwiner1/Documents/Bob Pics/Bob/Picture1.png

and

pic1.png

These names are not the same. Also the case is not the same.
