Xcode version 4.6.2 (4H1003) compiler error
Iphonexcode4.6Ios5Iphone Problem Overview
I just updated to Xcode version 4.6.2 (4H10003) and tried to run a previously working application project in the simulator and received the following error and the build failed.
> PCH file built from a different branch ((clang-425.0.27)) than the compiler ((clang-425.0.28))
What went wrong and how can it be fixed?

Do a Clean of the project; hold Option so that you are cleaning out the whole build folder and intermediates. You might have to quit Xcode and throw away the whole contents of the DerivedData folder by hand in the Finder, as I describe here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5714372/how-to-empty-caches-and-clean-all-targets-xcode-4/6247073#6247073

Go to your project's Build Settings, find a setting named Precompiled Headers Cache Path, then delete that folder

Do a cleanup using command+shift+k and run existing project again.

I've tried all the above and it works fine from Xcode UI, but it was still failing for me when I ran xcodebuild from command line.
That was due to dependencies to other libraries and their pre-compile headers. When running from command line, looks like xcodebuild store/reads pre-compiled headers from here:
/var/folders/v0/ztxy9kls7sv05dpmvjgg_xwr0000gn/C/com.apple.Xcode.501/SharedPrecompiledHeaders
After cleaning up that folder, xcodebuild succeeded.

I had to manually delete ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
Clean didn't work for me.

Specially if you build from command line or you have a build script, cleaning xcode target is not enough. You have to delete this folder.
The exact location of precompiled header can be found in the project, part of the folder path is random (I guess), esp after /var/folders/xx..xxx/C.
Target -> build settings => "Build locations" -> Precompiled headers cached path
Run Terminal and go to this folder and delete (use command),
#rm -fr SharedPrecompiledHeaders

use "command+shift+k" to clean your project, then you'll be fine.
