Cocos2D V3.0 crash CCLabelTTF

Question

I am converting my project from using Cocos2D v2.1 to V3.0. It's a UIKit project with Cocos2D added as a sub-project and the director loaded lazily in a couple of viewcontrollers.

I managed to get rid of all the compiler warnings, it runs fine and seems to load the director fine, but then crashes as follows:

-[NSConcreteMutableAttributedString hasAttribute:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xc4f8ff0
 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSConcreteMutableAttributedString hasAttribute:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xc4f8ff0'

The breakpoint stops in the CCLabelTTF function - (BOOL) updateTexture at

#ifdef __CC_PLATFORM_IOS

    // Font color
    if (![formattedAttributedString hasAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName])

There is only one CCLabelTTF in the code, and I create it like so:

self.scoreLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"Score", @"") fontName:@"Marker Felt" fontSize:20 dimensions:CGSizeMake(100, 50)];
self.scoreLabel.horizontalAlignment = (CCTextAlignment)NSTextAlignmentRight;
scoreLabel.position = ccp(250,70);
[self addChild:scoreLabel z:1];

Any help much appreciated. I've searched Cocos2D forums and here and can't find anything similar to this issue.

Ahh... just solved it. Since Cocos2d is a sub-project, I had to include the -ObjC flag under Other Linker Flags for the target. This wasn't necessary with v2.1, but then that version didn't use the NSAttributedString+CCAdditions category.
