application executable is missing a required architecture armv6
IosIos Problem Overview
I am using xCode 4.2 and trying to deploy my application. I am failing the validation with the following error message:
application executable is missing a required architecture armv6
The value for my Architectures is set to Standard (armv7). This is the ONLY option in the dropdownlist. Base SDK: iOS 5.0 (This is the only option) Deployment SDK: 3.2 Build Active Architecture Only: NO Valid Architectures: armv6 armv7 armv7f armv7k
Does anyone please know the solution to this problem?

Solution 1 - Ios
In the Xcode 4.2 GM this is still a problem but you can resolve it by doing the following.
-
Switch to the files/folders view in xcode project
-
Select your Project ( the blue icon)
-
Select your Application under Targets in the middle of the screen.
-
Go To build settings
-
Find Architectures > Distribution
-
Expand this section so you can see both Debug and Release
-
Change "Standard (armv7) - $(ARCH_STANDARD_32_BIT)" to "Other..."
-
Replace, "Standard (armv7) - $(ARCH_STANDARD_32_BIT)" with "armv6", then add a new item "armv7"
Remember you may need to do this for all included projects aka frameworks such as TAPKU
Solution 2 - Ios
For Xcode 4.5, set the deployment target to at least iOS 4.3 and that will resolve it. armv6 and earlier versions of iOS are almost extinct.
Solution 3 - Ios
Easy way to do it:
-
Left-click project icon (blue icon, under "Run" button).
-
Next to the project icon (to the right of it), left-click on project name under "PROJECT" (White background).
-
Select tab "Build Settings" and look for submenu "Architectures" (First one). Left-click on "Standard (armv7) $(ARCH_STANDARD_32_BIT)" and select "Other..."
-
Click on the "-" icon to remove original value ("$(ARCH_STANDARD_32_BIT)"). Click the "+" icon and write "armv6" (without double-quotes). Click the "+" icon again and add "armv7" (also without double-quotes). Click "Done".
-
Make sure that "Build Active Architecture Only" is set to "No" (it should be)
-
Next to the project icon (to the right of it), left-click on project name under "TARGETS" and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
-
Press cmd + I on your keyboard (or Product -> Profile on Xcode menu) and check to see if everything is ok.
Solution 4 - Ios
My environment was Xcode 4.5.1. Changing two things solved this issue for me.
- Setting the deployment target to at least iOS 4.3.
- Keeping only armv7 architecture in the Architectures list under build settings and removing all others (including armv6) explicitly.
Solution 5 - Ios
I stumble upon this question when looking for a solution to the warning:
warning: iPad: application executable is missing a required architecture.
At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv7 (-19033)
Unable to validate your application. - (null)
Other answers did not solve my problem, then I realized I changed a value of CFBundleExecutable. When I returned to the old value everything went smoothly again.
I'm not sure what is a direct cause of that warning but at least I can distribute Ad Hoc builds again.
Solution 6 - Ios
All of the answers didn't help for my case, using Xcode 4.2.1.
What I did was changing Architectures from armv7 to armv6 armv7 and it worked. Like this:

Adding armv6 was only partially the problem for me to resolve the same issue with Xcode 4.5. I also had to increase my deployment target from iOS 4.1 to iOS 5.0 to get it to work. Many hours of frustration for such a simply fix. Hope it helps.
Solution 8 - Ios
For me it helped when I set only armv6 under Architectures
