Hey guys,

I solved my “+[NSString decodeXMLCharactersIn:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0×30692800″ error. The problem was my file hierarchy and import of the files “NSSTring+XMLExtensions.h” and “NSString+XMLExtensions.m”

The error occurred, when I put both files under classes/XMLRPCLIB/. My XMLRPC Classes were under classes/XMLRPCLIB/XMLRPC/ separately.

so, I put the “NSSTring+XMLExtensions.h” files under “Classes/” and this solved the problem.

So keep your file hierarchy like it is shown on picture 4

This error took me 2 days to solve. I hope, that you can keep around this debugging time.

XML-RPC doesn't support anything like HTTP authentication AFAIK, but if you look at some of the methods that WP supports, they have you pass a username and password value in the parameter array. For instance: [req setMethod:@"mt.getRecentPostTitles" withObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"1", @"username", @"password", nil]];

Also found something else. Got it to work but if you return Strings it crahses, if you return NSDictionaries they are empty with no value. I think the problem may be in the decoder becauese I can trace that the service is returning values correctly… its when the client is trying to decode the response that it runs into issues.

any help would be appreciated.

Similar issue, I downloaded the source, changed the url and args to a working xmlrpc service i have here, and ran it and it crashed. I’m running 3.1.2.

Hi, thanks for posting this tutorial!

Ive downloaded your source code and when i build and go, i get a warning next to the line of code:

NSString *result=[self executeXMLRPCRequest:reqHello];

The warning says:

‘XMLRPC_SayHelloViewController’ may not respond to ‘-executeXMLRPCRequest:’ (Messages without a matching method signature will be assumed to return ‘id’ and accept ‘…’ as arguments.)

When i click the “Get Response” button in the simulator, the program just crashes out.

Has anyone got any ideas??

Thanks

Dave

the services I am trying to connect to require authentication (username/password) Does anyone know if this library supports this? If so can someone post an example. Thanks!
