Xcode 6 (beta 3): Unsupported pixel format in CSI or Unable to create unsliced image from csi bitmap data
ios7, swift, uiimage, xcode6
Solution
This is caused by a bug in Xcode 6 (beta 3 at this time). It appears to occur only if your build target is iOS 7.x
To work around this issue:
1) delete the files from the Images.xcassets container.
2) place the images directly into the "Supporting Files" folder.
Note: It is not required to add the ".png" extension within your code, making this a clean workaround.
Please create a RADAR (bug report) to Apple.
Problem
When loading UIImages with png images in Xcode 6 beta 3 in Swift as follows: ``` PipsImg = (UIImage(named: "Die-1")) ``` or ``` PipsImg = [(UIImage(named: "Die-1")),(UIImage(named: "Die-2"))] ``` from associated images stored in the Images.xcassets folder, I receive the following fatal runtime errors: ``` SimpleAnimation[680:60b] Unsupported pixel format in CSI SimpleAnimation[680:60b] Unable to create unsliced image from csi bitmap data. ``` this appears to be resolved in beta 4, however will leave in place for a bit as sometimes these regress
