Mach O Link Error- linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Question

When I try building for archiving for my app in Xcode (version 4.5) I get an error that says:

ld: file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv         


        

Answer 1

I received a very similar message just the other day when I tried running my app on my iPad after several successful attempts on the simulator. I found out that under the build settings I had to make "build active architecture only" to yes. Then my app would compile on my device. Hope this helps.
