When I try to compile with XCode an app that is about 10 years old gives me the following compiler errors in JSONModel.h header file. There are only 4 lines in that file.

Content of file with the error messages.

XSym <- Uknown type name ‘Xsym’
0075 <- Expected identifier or ‘(’
a7b090c047283ff76fc7f1def7ba7425
../../../JSONModel/JSONModel/JSONModel/JSONModel.h

The app was originally compiled wit XCode 3.2, targeting iPhone 7 Now I am using XCode 16, targeting iPhone 12.

Original coder is unaccessible. I am very new to this environment and any guidance / assistance is greatly appreciated.

Please let me know if it is more appropriate to post this somewhere else.

Thank you everyone for trying to help. Your effort is appreciated. I have resolved my problem by removing the first three lines and adding the #include directive in front of "../../../JSONModel/JSONModel/JSONModel/JSONModel.h". There were a total of 23 similar files that had to be fixed in this manner. Apparently the code is so old..... that it outdates all of us.
