Question

I have no idea how to debug this, and I’ve been banging my head against the wall for hours. Here is the error I got:

Any help is really appreciated. I would normally spend more time working on my own to solve the problem, but I really have no idea where to start.

If you are building against Simulator then you explicitly need to add i386 as an valid architecture. Also check under platform you have “iphonesimulator”. Just click on your project file and it will reveal Build settings in the right side editor. You will find these settings there. Hope it helps.
