Looking through the symbol information, .objc_class_name_NSProAlert
is a private symbol which means you can't reference it from an
external file.

Granted, I have no idea how a class name can be a private symbol
(looking at other frameworks, all the classes's names are public
symbols), but that's what's happening.
