Question

I have been using RestKit 0.10.2 in my iOS 6.0 project for a while. I have been making Ad Hoc provisioned Archives for testing on other devices without issue. After the recent updates I now have iOS SDK 6.1.

I am still able to run my app on the iPhone simulator, and on a phone (which still has iOS 6.0), but I am not able to build for archive anymore. It now comes up with the following errors:

"_lcl_configure_by_name", referenced from:
  -[AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:] in AppDelegate.o
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_RKClient", referenced from:
  objc-class-ref in AppDelegate.o
  objc-class-ref in [MY_CLASS]ViewController.o
  objc-class-ref in [MY_CLASS]ViewController.o
  objc-class-ref in [MY_CLASS].o
  objc-class-ref in [MY_CLASS]ViewController.o
"_RKLogInitialize", referenced from:
  -[AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:] in AppDelegate.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7s
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

There are also similar errors appearing for the RestKit classes: RKParams, RKParserRegistry, RKMIMETypeJSON, RKRequestSerialization, RKObjectMapping.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Remove the armv7s from the architecture build settings. This is not necessary for anything other than high performance games on the iPhone 5 processor. Likely the restkit project build settings are not building armv7s binaries. The easiest thing is to eliminate the armv7s from your main project so it doesn’t try to link that.
