macOS Error loading /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL...

I'm getting this message in the debug console in Xcode.

Error loading /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL/SIMBL.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SIMBL: dlopen(/Library/InputManagers/SIMBL/SIMBL.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SIMBL, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/InputManagers/SIMBL/SIMBL.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SIMBL: GC capability mismatch

I've done a bit of searching, and couldn't find anything that seemed directly related to this. Other solutions have said to remove the plugins, but this is complaining it can't find it at all. What gives?

What OS are you on? It GC is garbage collection. If you not using 10.5.x then this is not supported.

 

[Cinder6]

I'm on 10.5, and my project's target is set to 10.5.

 

[robbieduncan]

Ah, interesting. So is your project set as GC enabled? If so then I would suggest that SIMBL is not...

 

[Cinder6]

Yeah, GC is on. Problem is I have no idea what the SIMBL thing is.

Edit: Whoops, I left out one critical word in the message: "GC capability mismatch". I found this thread, but I don't see that it really helps me fix it.

EDIT 2: Okay, I think I've figured it out, and it's not going away unless I uninstall Glims (which is the only InputManager I have installed). So, how do I suppress this warning?

It's not a warning. It's a hard error. Either uninstall that dodgy crap (SIMBL is really one giant big hack) or switch on/off GC in your app (whichever is required). Note if you currently have it switched on and have to switch it off you will have to do proper memory management for all your objects.

Alright. I looked into what I had installed that was using SIMBL, and it turns out it was all for Safari, which I don't use anymore. So SIMBL is gone now, and so is the error. Thanks.
