Why do I get "file is not of required architecture" when I try to build my app on an iphone?

Question

My app seemingly runs fine in the simulator but the first time I hooked a phone up to my system and had it build for it I got a huge error log with things like:

and it just keeps going.

At / near the bottom it says:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Did you specify those paths? Looking at them, they're all pointing at: /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/... which explains why you're receiving the file is not of required architecture error; it's expecting device libraries and its finding simulator libraries.

Answer 2

Solution wich helped me:

Right click on target -> Get Info -> "Build" tab -> Setting with name: Framework search paths add value "$(SDKROOT)$(SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks" and move it to the top of paths list
