iOS Application Missing Required Architecture, even when listed

When building an iOS project inside Xcode 4 for Archiving, the error:

iPhone/iPod Touch: application executable is missing a required architecture.  At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv6 (-19033)

continues to occur. The screenshot below shows the Build Settings. I have tried all of the common fixes, but n开发者_JS百科one of these seem to work.

My final thought relates to the first linked question. Does it matter that for "Standard", armv6 isn't listed? If so; how should it be added?

This project is a new Xcode 4 project; only a view controller has been added from the default.

I had the same problem. In your picture, try adding an architecture to the architectures field and name it armv6. That solved it for me.

Project -> Edit project settings -> in Build tab search with "active" then unselect Buld active arch only

If you uncheck "Build Active Architecture Only", then it will build all the valid architectures.

On the new Xcode(4.5) for supporting iPhone 5 screen the only method that works for me is to set the target iOS version to 4.3 as minimum (the valid arc should be armv7 and can include also armv7s, but you must delete armv6!), Anything else I've tried including all the answers here didn't help and I got the error you mentioned.

I was having this problem and was very confused because the error that occurred with it said I needed armv6 because I had a deployment target lower than 4.3, but I was sure my deployment target was 4.3.

I have two targets in my project and was looking at the build settings for "all" instead of the individual targets. Don't' know why, but even though the settings for "all" showed a deployment target of 4.3, the deployment target shown in the individual target build settings were both 4.2. I changed those for each target and both errors went away.

Remove iphoneossimulator from supported platforms for the distribution/release build configuration. You cannot have that for distribution, it is only for your debug configurations.

Check the image below for distribution configuration (ignore release config).

My Answer May help You:

I had this problem even after following the accepted answer and found the following to work:

In your Info.plist, add an entry for Required Device Capabilities. This should be an array and will have two entries.

Item 0 : armv6
Item 1 : armv7

It will look like this:

Required device capabilities entry

"At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv7"

I had this error message, and it didn't make sense to me.

I already had armv7 in the list of architectures for my iPad-only app, and, yes, I did have "Build Active Architecture Only" set to No.

But - I also had armv7s in the list of architectures.

I removed armv7s from the list, and then the error message disappeared.

Perhaps in XCode 5, Apple will change the message from

At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv7

to a more accurate

Only the following architecture(s) must be present: armv7

I live in hope.
