Just like the title says, I’m trying to build the example Xcode project but am getting an error. I’m building in XCode 10.2.1 on Mac OS Mojave. The error I’m getting is:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86\_64:  
“Common\_WritePath(char const\*)”, referenced from:  
executeRecord(FMOD::Studio::System\*) in recording\_playback.o  
executePlayback(FMOD::Studio::System\*) in recording\_playback.o  
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86\_64  
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

It does look like this is a bug in the example project. To work around this, there are two lines that use `Common_WritePath` that you can change to `Common_MediaPath`.

I will make sure this gets fixed in an upcoming release.
