I’m having some trouble deploying to any device in XCode 4.4. I have only tested on armv7 devices, but I only wish to deploy to armv7. The application compiles without issue.

Choose a destination with a supported architecture in order to run on this device

Device Error

The selected destination does not support the architecture for which the selected software is built. Switch to a destination that supports that architecture in order to run the selected software.

Simulator Error

I have checked that the Architectures and the Valid Architectures in the build settings contain only armv7.

I’m working in an XCode Workspace with one project and one subproject. The subproject creates a static library which acts as a target dependancy to the main project.

Other questions suggest that the deployment target might be wrong, but I checked this too and it is set to iOS4.0 for all projects and targets. (All devices are iOS5.0 +)

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Though I couldn’t find exactly why this was happening. I fixed it by removing the project data.

    • Close XCode
    • Open Terminal
    • cd to your .xcodeproj directory
    • Recursively delete any project data files associated with the current user name
      • find . -name "YOUR_OSX_USERNAME_HERE*" | xargs rm -rf
    • Reopen XCode
    • Just for luck, do a clean build

    Edit

    Had this error again and wasn’t solved by the above steps alone. There were two other factors:

    • Make sure Info.plist isn’t part of the Target Membership

    • Clear DerivedData

      • Quit Xcode and iPhone simulator
      • Unplug your devices
      • Goto ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
      • Delete all data under this folder
      • Start Xcode again and run your project
