Question

I’ve just upgraded to iOS5 / Xcode 4.2 and I’m now trying to submit an application to the App Store. When I try to validate my Archive, I get an error saying:

iPhone / iPod touch : application executable is missing a required architecture. Atleast one of the following architectures must be present: armv6

I’ve checked a few similar questions and the most of the accepted answers just said set the Build Active Architecture Only to NO. I’ve done this already and I still have the same issue. Here are my keys:

Architectures:

Distribution: Standard (armv7) - $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT)

Base SDK : iOS 5.0

Build Active Architecture Only: NO

Valid Architectures: armv6 armv7

Any help on how to fix this is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Teja

EDIT: Also added key armv6 manually to the Architectures section in the Build Settings. No change.

Answer 1

Setting the Target to iOS 4.3 will get rid of the App Store error, as iOS 4.3 requires armv7 and is not supported on the older armv6 devices.
