Why is Phonegap Facebook Plugin NOT working on 64-bit architectures? - ios

Question

I am refering to the official FBConnect plugin from phonegap:
https://github.com/phonegap-build/FacebookConnect
Everything work fine when working with iphones not x64 (32 bits I assume)
But when launching the app on a 64 bit architecture, this plugin seems to cause trouble. Here is what I have:
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/YohannM/Documents/phonegap-facebook-plugin-master/src/ios/frameworks'
ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/YohannM/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MeetMyFriends-bpzkrmogtgawjxbckzcgadbbsksi/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libCordova.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): /Users/YohannM/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MeetMyFriends-bpzkrmogtgawjxbckzcgadbbsksi/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libCordova.a

Of course, I have followed the instructions step by step and (I think) it was working fine previously (beofre I had to update XCode.
Can Anyone help me with this ? what should I do to have it working on my iphone 64 bits ?
Thanks

I've actually found the solution on another thread, there is one very complete one over there, but the one that worked the best for me wasn't in this thread. It was pretty straighforward:
They just released a new version 3.4.1 that address this issues.
Therefore I update a single file to point to the TAG 3.4.1:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/platforms.js
line 24
from:
version: '3.4.0'
to:
version: '3.4.1'
Then you remove the iOS folder in your project and run:
cordova platform add ios
This will download the new template based on 3.4.1 with all the patches.
thank You #Fabrizio Giordano for pointing that out
