I have been struggling with this for several hours, and I'm tired of it. My project is beautifully built using the build debug simulator, build the release simulator and build the debugging device, but for some reason it will not build using the release build. I have a static library containing my cocos2d code and another static library containing the game engine that I wrote.
Since the game engine contains categories, I had to use the all_load linker flag to start it. Without this flag, the code builds fine. However, I get an unrecognized selector sent to the instance exception when I try to start the game.
Here is the first build error:
ld: duplicate symbol _OBJC_CLASS_$_FontLabel in /Users/helixed/Dropbox/Documents/Development/iPhone/Cocos2d/build/Release-iphoneos/libcocos2d.a(FontLabel.o) and /Users/helixed/Dropbox/Documents/Development/iPhone/Cocos2d/build/Release-iphoneos/libcocos2d.a(FontLabel.o)

And here is the second:

This is the only thing that prevents me from being released, so I really appreciate the help.
