Facebook Tweaks with CocoaPods linker error when archiving - ios

I added Facebook Tweaks to my project via CocoaPods and now I want to share the app with some tester via TestFlight. By default, Tweaks is deactivated in the Release build (which is used when archiving for distribution), so I did the following:
created a new scheme "MyApp TestFlight" by copying my original scheme
Added a Build configuration in the project info screen, called "TestFlight" (in addition to the preconfigured "Debug" and "Release". When asked which configuration I wanted to inherit settings from I used the "Release" configuration.
In the "MyApp Testflight" scheme I set the build configuration to use for "Archive" to be "TestFlight".
In the preprocessor macros I defined different values for the macro FB_TWEAK_ENABLED which is used by the Facebook Tweaks Library to enable and disable it's usage. Since I surely don't want Tweaks enabled in the Release configuration (e.g. for the App Store) but I do want to be able to distribute an app with Tweaks enabled via TestFlight, I activated Tweaks in the Debug and TestFlight configurations, but not in the Release configuration.
I verified that activating and deactivating Tweaks works by switching the FB_TWEAK_ENABLED between 0 and 1 in the Debug configuration.
So far everything works, I can activate an deactivate Tweaks using my preprocessor constant. I also verified, that using the different schemes to run changes the preprocessor constants as expected.
So I can successfully run the app with and without Tweaks enabled. But when I try to archive it, it fails with a linker error:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"__FBTweakIdentifier", referenced from:
___30-[SUPConfirmPaymentView setup]_block_invoke_2 in SUPConfirmPaymentView.o
___30-[SUPConfirmPaymentView setup]_block_invoke_254 in SUPConfirmPaymentView.o

...
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
There are more errors like this for armv7s and arm64.
But my project, as well as the target, as well as the libraries in the Pods project and the Pods project itself all have Architctures and Valid Architectures set to "arm64 armv7 armv7s".
For the record: My SUPConfirmPaymentView setup method does a lot of calls like this:
// setup animation constants
FBTweakBind(self, beatEnlargementFactor, #"Confirm Payment View", #"Beat Animation", #"scale factor", 1.1, 1.0, 3.0);
But I don't think that's the problem as it works in the debug builds and I guess it's just the first place the linker notices something is wrong.
So what does work:
Run on simulator or device using DEBUG configuration which fas FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=1
Run on simulator or device using DEBUG configuration which fas FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=0
Archive using RELASE configuration which fas FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=0
Run on simulator or device using TestFlight configuration which has FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=0
Archive using TestFlight configuration which has FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=0
What doesn't work
Run on simulator or device using TestFlight configuration which has FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=1
Archive using TestFlight configuration which has FB_TWEAK_ENABLED=1
I don't understand why it doesn't work as it should be the same as the Release configuration (I copied it from that) and that does work, except for this one constant. And the debug build using that constant DOES work.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
EDIT:
Thanks to #alloy for pointing to this issue on CocoaPods: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/1934#issuecomment-40132425
It seems to be related.
Therefore I used the following code from the issue discussion:
#if defined(DEBUG) && DEBUG
#warning DEBUG=1
#else
#warning DEBUG=0
#endif
And copied it to SUPConfirmPaymentView.m.
The result is this:
By just pasting the code I already get a wring for Debug=1, which is due to Xcode's continuous compilation (which apparently uses the DEBUG flag).
But when using Archive I get the results above and as far as I understand it, those warning below the Target all result from this one Archive build right? This would mean that the preprocessor (?) passes the .m-file twice, once with DEBUG=1 and once with Debug=0, which would explain the problem.
But this raises two other questions:
Why does it pass the .m file twice, should it just come by once as it's a .m-file (I see why that happens for .h files)
Why is DEBUG=1? Where does that come from?
EDIT2:
I recreated my "TestFlight" target to be a copy of the Debug target, as recommended by #alloy. It still doesn't build, which is likely due to CocoaPods not using the debug configuration.
How can I make it use the debug configuration? #alloy mentioned something about :debug, but I don't know how to use it and didn't find any documentation about it.
My current Podfile looks like this (project excluded):
platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.0'
pod 'Tweaks'
How would I use the :debug syntax to make CocoaPods build the Tweaks library in the debug configuration when using it for my 'TestFlight' configuration?

I think you are running into this: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/1934#issuecomment-40132425.
(I’m not going to cross-paste a long answer and all of its context, it’s better if you read the issue on the ticket tracker.)

Xcode project giving pod file error for FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework . How to solve it?

I'm working on a book project and the project is connected by API . I'm working on the book app which has different libraries imported from the various places.
Recently, i cloned the project from bitbucket in Xcode and tried to run it. The result i got i error as follows:
enter image description here
It shows :
ld: in /Users/ishinfoservices/Documents/vadltaldhambooks/Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework/FIRAnalyticsConnector(FIRAnalyticsConnector_a8eeba373b74508311b8b22b8d3202a6.o), building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS, file '/Users/ishinfoservices/Documents/vadltaldhambooks/Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework/FIRAnalyticsConnector' for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Help needed to fix the error, as the project has lots of mixes of old libraries along with .h and .m files, the swift files with wireframes
According to the image I saw that you are trying run the app on the iOS simulator, then you could try to add the arm64 to the Excluded Architectures on the Build Settings section of your project or target, it would be like:
Take in mind that if you use Cocoa Pods is possible that also you should add the arm64 to the Exclude Architectures into the Pods project
After the above, clean, build and run the project on the iOS simulator, is possible that on your physical device you must remove the arm64 from the Exclude Architectures, it could depend on what you use in your project.
On the other hand, you can try the following: Select the project -> Select the target -> Go to the Build Phases -> Expand the Link Binary with libraries and add all pod libraries (remove if they exist in embedded binaries or Remove the old FrameWorks), after that, clean and build the project

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64 when running it to device [duplicate]

I am getting a Apple Mach-O Linker Error everytime I import a file from CocoaPods.
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_FBSession", referenced from: someFile
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
I get about 12 of these, for the various Pods I use.
I am trying to build for the iPhone 5S using XCode 5.
I've been trying various solutions here on SO, but haven't got any of them to work yet.
How do I fix this Apple Mach-O Linker Error?
Just found another warning that might be interesting, I hope this leads me to the solution:
Ignoring file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SomeApp/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libPods.a,
file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (arm64):~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/someApp/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libPods.a
If your Architectures and Valid Architectures are all right, you may check whether you have added $(inherited) , which will add linker flags generated in pods, to Other Linker Flags as below:
The issue is that the cocoapods have not been built for arm64 architecture yet thus they cannot be linked when you build them. Likely you cannot use those packages until they are updated and use that architecture. You can fix the linker error by going to project -> target (your project name) -> build settings and change architectures to standard architectures (armv7, armv7s), and valid architectures to armv7, armv7s.
Note though, this means you won't get the full power of the 64 bit processor. You said you are building for the 5s, so there may be some reason you need this. If you for some reason absolutely need that power (perhaps you are building a game), and desperately need those files, you could submit a pull request and then recompile the project to arm64 by setting those same fields to arm64 in the files you pulled from the open source projects. But, unless you really need these files to be 64 bit compatible, that seems like a bit of overkill for now.
EDIT: Some people also reported that setting Build For Active Architectures to YES was also necessary to solve this problem.
As of 2014-04-28 the setting should look something like this:
I solved this problem by setting that:
ARCHS = armv7 armv7s
VALID_ARCHS = armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64
I ran into the same/similar issue implementing AVPictureInPictureController and the issue was that I wasn't linking the AVKit framework in my project.
The error message was:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_AVPictureInPictureController", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in yourTarget.a(yourObject.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
The Solution:
Go to your Project
Select your Target
Then, go to Build Phases
Open Link Binary With Libraries
Finally, just add + the AVKit framework / any other framework.
Hopefully this helps someone else running into a similar issue I had.
I also encountered the same problem , the above methods will not work . I accidentally deleted the files in the following directory on it .
Folder emplacement:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
Set Architectures to armv7 armv7s, Build Active Architecture Only to NO, for every target in the project, including every one in Pods
I fixed mine by checking the selected implementation files in the target membership on the right side. This is useful especially in dealing with extensions i.e. custom keyboards.
Here are some explanations why build_active_architecture is set to NO.
Xcode now detects which devices you have connected and will set the active architecture accordingly. So if you plug a 2nd generation iPod Touch into your computer, Xcode should set the active architecture to armv6. Building your target with the above Debug configuration will now only build the armv6 binary to save time (unless you have a huge project you may not notice the difference but I guess the seconds add up over time).
When you create a Distribution configuration for publishing to the App Store, you should make sure this option is not set, so that Xcode will instead build the fat universal binary
http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/04/21/xcode-build-active-architecture-only.html
This might be related to libz.dylib or libz.tbd, just have to add it to your targets for the linking binaries, and try to compile again.
You need to just remove arm64 from Valid Architecture and set NO to Active Architecture Only . Now just Clean, Build and Run. You will not see this error again.
:) KP
Solved after deleting the content of the DerivedData-->Build-->Products-->Debug-iphoneos
I solved it by setting valid archs to armv7 armv7s and setting build active architectures only to YES in release and then doing a new "pod install" from the command line
Following worked for me:
Remove all pods
cd ios && pod deintegrate
Comment this line in ios/Podfile -> use_flipper!()
Reinstall all pods arch -x86_64 pod install
Run your app :) npm run ios
Environment:
Node version: 14.17.1
RN version: 6.0.0
OS: macOS BigSur m1
Given an iPhone 5s and not yet having received a 64 bit version of a third party library, I had to go back to 32 bit mode with the latest Xcode (prior to 5.1 it didn't complain).
I fixed this by deleting arm64 from the Valid Architectures list and then setting Build Active Architecture Only to NO. It seems to me this makes more sense than the other way around as shown above. I'm posting in case other people couldn't get any of the above solutions to work for them.
I had the same problem after upgrading to Xcode 5.1 and fixed it by setting Architectures to armv7 armv7s
Had been stuck on this issue the whole day.
I had multiple Schemes, it was compiling fine for Demo, Internal, Release - however Debug scheme just would not compile and was complaining about the libPods.a missing.
The solution was to go to the Project -> Target -> Build Settings and change "Build Active Architecture Only" to YES. Clean and build! Finally hours of head itching solved!
Setting -ObjC to Other Linker Flags in Build Settings of the target solved the problem.
This worked for me:
ios sdk 9.3
into your build setting of app.xcodeproj
valid architecture: armv7 armv7s
Build Active architecture : No
Clean and build , worked for me.
If you faced this issue on your Flutter project while building in Release mode (or Archive) check out my this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61446892/5502121
Long story short:
set your build system to New Build System in File > Project Settings…
remove ios and build_ios folders
run flutter create . to init new ios module
run pod install
run flutter pub get
check your Xcode build config (it should be Release mode and General iOS Device)
and you're good to go
The following worked for me to get GPUImage compiling without errors on Xcode 5.1 for both the 64-bit simulator and retina iPad Mini, without needing to remove arm64 from the Valid Architectures list (which defeats the purpose of owning a 64-bit device for testing 64-bit performance).
Download the .zip folder from the GitHub page: https://github.com/BradLarson/GPUImage
Unzip, and navigate to the 'framework' folder. From here, add and copy the 'Source' folder into your Xcode project. Ensure 'Copy items into destination group's folder' is ticked, and that 'Create groups for any added folders' is also ticked. This will copy the generic, iOS and Mac header/implementation files into your project.
If you don't need the Mac files because you're compiling for iOS you can delete the Mac folder either before you copy the files into your project, or simply delete the group from within Xcode.
Once you've added the Source folder to your project just use the following to begin using GPUImage's classes/methods:
#import "Source/GPUImage.h"
A few things to point out:
If you get an error saying 'Cocoa' not found, you've added the Mac folder/headers into your iOS project - simply delete the Mac group/files from your project and the warning will vanish
If you rename the Source folder (not the group in Xcode), use that name instead of "Source/GPUImage.h" in the #import instruction. So if you rename the folder to GPUImageFiles before you add to your project, use: #import "GPUImageFiles/GPUImage.h
Obviously ensure arm64 is selected in the Valid Architectures list to take advantage of the A7 64-bit processor!
This isn't a GPUImage.framework bundle (such as if you downloaded the framework from http://www.raywenderlich.com/60968/ios-7-blur-effects-gpuimage) so it may not the correct way to use GPUImage that Brad Larson intended, but it works for my current SpriteKit project.
There's no need to link to frameworks/libraries etc - just import the header and implementation source folder as described above
Hope the above helps - it seems there were no clear instructions anywhere despite the question being asked multiple times, but fear not, GPUImage definitely works for arm64 architecture!
This issue occurred for me after installing a pod via Podfile and pod install. After trying a bunch of different fixes I finally just imported the Pod manually (dragging the necessary files into my project) and that solved the problem.
As morisunshine answer pointed in right direction, a little tweak in his answer solved my problem for iOS8.2 .Thanks to him.
I solved this problem by setting that:
ARCHS = armv7
VALID_ARCHS = armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64
BUILD ACTIVE ARCHITECTURE ONLY= NO
Go to target Build Settings.
set BUILD ACTIVE ARCHITECTURE ONLY = NO for both Debug and Release
Build and run
In my case, I had to look for
C++ Standard Library and make sure that the libc++ was the one selected.
For me, I use opencv 2.4.9 in xcode 7.2 for iOS and the errors above occurred, and I solve the errors by using the opencv through pod install rather than offline opencv framework.
You can have a try by adding the opencv pod text below and delete the offline opencv framework if you have used.
pod 'OpenCV', '2.4.9'
None of the solutions fix this error in my case(Xcode 9), with TesseractOCRiOS. After hours of trial and error, I came up with a good solution. I just delete 'pod 'TesseractOCRiOS', '~> 4.0.0' in the Podfile, run pod install. And then, add pod 'TesseractOCRiOS', '~> 4.0.0' back to Podfile and run pod install again.
Bang! It works!
"The OPN [Debug] target overrides the OTHER_LDFLAGS build setting". This was the main issue. After adding $(inherited) in new line in other linker flags solved my issue.
in some case, if you define one more interface in a .h file, but did not implementation all these interface, this error occurred.
The linker can't found the implementation in .m file, so you need to implementation it in your .m file for every interface.
To resolve this error:
1.in .m file, supply the implementation for each interface.
2.rebuild
I faced the same issue.
My solution I found here: Why linker link static libraries with errors? iOS
Adding $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME) to the library search paths fixed the problem.
This error consumed my whole day so thought of writing what really worked for me
delete .xworkspace
delete podfile.lock
delete the Pods folder/directory
"DO NOT DELETE PODFILE"
After all this, CLEAN(OPTION + SHIFT + CMD + K) --> BUILD(CMD + B) --> RUN(CMD + R)
I hope this really works for you :)

Project Builds and Runs, but does not Archive

I have a project which builds and runs fine on the simulator and device, but fails when archiving.
The project is very old, but I have created a separate component which I have added in the workspace.
The main project is written in Objective-C, the new project is written in Swift 4. The project also uses CocoaPods and also includes another subproject written in Swift 3.2
There are various errors which all boil down to the same thing, the sub project is not producing any output when it is compiled. OR it is just not compiled. I see no errors in the code itself, just when trying to reference it:
//1
error: /Users/<user>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<id>/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/<app name>/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/Framework.framework: No such file or directory`
//2

Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1
//3
#import ModuleName;
Module ‘ModuleName’ not found
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Clear derived data
Restart Mac
Add $(SRCROOT) to Main Target > Build Settings > Framework Search Paths > Release
Confirmed project is present in Embedded Binaries
Confirmed project is present in Linked Frameworks and Libraries
Removing and re-adding project to embedded binaries and frameworks and libraries
Removing the import declaration
I am opening the workspace and not the project
Skip install set to YES in Subproject build settings
Comparing build settings from the working sub project with the failing one (they are the same)
Running pod update
Changing Always Embed Standard Swift Libraries makes no difference either way
Other notes:
In /Users/<user>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<id>/Build/ Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/<app name>/ InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/<app name>.app/Frameworks/ there is a .framework file for the other sub project and all the pods, but not for this one
In podfile, use_frameworks! is present
Update:
After running an archive today I am only seeing the error:
Module 'ModuleName' not found
The other errors are gone
The issue was to do with the iOS Deployment Target setting:
The main project: iOS 10
Sub project: iOS 11
In Debug it is building only for the current architecture, in Release it builds for all. Obvious once you know.
Setting the sub project to build for iOS 10 fixed the issue.
The most frustrating part: I double checked the build log and it doesn't mention the version issue anywhere :(
It's impossible to tell what exactly causing it to fail archiving. BUT I'm pretty sure I can give you the correct direction =]
Running on simulator or even a real device - compiles the project for "Debug"
Archiving tough, compiles for "Release"
I bet that if you set that running on simulator will compile on Release mode, it will fail!
Check it!!
If I correct you just need to set some of the Build Settings for Release to match Debug
My first guess is: All the search paths (Framework search path, and Runpath search path)
I saw a similar behavior here
I got it to archive after all.
It looked like the SDK-Project was missing a build configuration
Adhoc. Which Project used to archive the project for a specific build
scheme. I think the compiler was looking for modules in the
$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME) path
I was having this error, and while my deployment targets did not match, that wasn't actually the fix for me. I had added a new build configuration that I was trying to use for my archive, but I forgot to run pod install after adding it. After running pod install, I was able to archive my app just fine, even though the deployment targets for some of the Pods are iOS 10 while the main app target is iOS 11.
Might be not relevant to you, but helpful to others:
If you using multi-modular SwiftPM-based architecture, then you should read errors carefully and find out if some of your package targets import some other one in sources without integrating it in the Package.swift file. In this case, even the release build will resolve dependencies somehow and succeed if some other package contains your dependency, but the archive will fail.

Cocoapods and Architecture settings
I had a Podfile that set EXCLUDED_ARCHS to arm64 in a post-install script and this was consistent with my main target. This setting was ok for building on Debug mode (x86_64) but didn't work for release building (Archives). I realised the script set EXCLUDED_ARCHS for the Pod targets even on physical devices (Any iOS SDK) rather than only on Simulators.
Steps
I ran pod deintegrate.
I deleted Derived Data.
I deleted Podfile.lock (now we have a fresh start).
I updated the Podfile iOS version to be the lowest supported version in each Pod.
Refactor EXCLUDED_ARCHS script.
Refactoring EXCLUDED_ARCHS script
I refactored:
config.build_settings['EXCLUDED_ARCHS'] = 'arm64'
from the Podfile post-install script to the following:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
...
config.build_settings['EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]'] = 'arm64'
end
end
end
I haven't done watchOS here because it wasn't a watchOS app, however, we need to do this for all supported simulated device targets.
I left EXCLUDED_ARCHS to arm64 to Any iOS Simulator SDK in the main target for Release mode in the main target. The same logic here applies to other sims.
pod install
Archive again. :D

Lipo error with additional schemes in XCode

I want to create additional build configurations and schemes in my XCode project in order to build sepcific archives for TestFlight. One connected to our DEV environment for internal testers, and one connected to our PROD environment for external beta testers.
So I was following this excellent blog post and I created 2 additional build configurations by duplicating the Release one. Then I created 2 additional schemes based on the default one, by changing the build configuration of the Archive build operation to the proper build configuration. Finally I set some user-defined settings in each build configuration to point to the right server URL depending on whether we are in a DEV build or a PROD build.
But now when I archive my project using one of these two additional schemes, I get the following Lipo error:
/fatal error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lipo: can’t open input file: /Users/sarbogast/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/MyAppTestFlightPROD/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/MyApp.build/TestFlight PROD-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/armv7/MyApp (No such file or directory)
And indeed when I go to /Users/sarbogast/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/MyAppTestFlightPROD/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/MyApp.build/TestFlight PROD-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/armv7 directory, there is no MyApp file or directory in there.
I read here and there that setting 'Build Active Architecture only' to YES might solve the problem, but I don't want to do that as these are release builds for TestFlight and I want them to work on all architectures.
Any idea what might be wrong in my set up?
I am using CocoaPods and I had log messages saying that the linker could not find Pods for my new scheme. So I added my new scheme to link_with in my podfile and now it works perfectly.
I still don't understand why, because I thought link_with was only to list targets and this is not a target, this is a scheme. But it works.

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64

I am getting a Apple Mach-O Linker Error everytime I import a file from CocoaPods.
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_FBSession", referenced from: someFile
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
I get about 12 of these, for the various Pods I use.
I am trying to build for the iPhone 5S using XCode 5.
I've been trying various solutions here on SO, but haven't got any of them to work yet.
How do I fix this Apple Mach-O Linker Error?
Just found another warning that might be interesting, I hope this leads me to the solution:
Ignoring file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SomeApp/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libPods.a,
file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (arm64):~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/someApp/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libPods.a
If your Architectures and Valid Architectures are all right, you may check whether you have added $(inherited) , which will add linker flags generated in pods, to Other Linker Flags as below:
The issue is that the cocoapods have not been built for arm64 architecture yet thus they cannot be linked when you build them. Likely you cannot use those packages until they are updated and use that architecture. You can fix the linker error by going to project -> target (your project name) -> build settings and change architectures to standard architectures (armv7, armv7s), and valid architectures to armv7, armv7s.
Note though, this means you won't get the full power of the 64 bit processor. You said you are building for the 5s, so there may be some reason you need this. If you for some reason absolutely need that power (perhaps you are building a game), and desperately need those files, you could submit a pull request and then recompile the project to arm64 by setting those same fields to arm64 in the files you pulled from the open source projects. But, unless you really need these files to be 64 bit compatible, that seems like a bit of overkill for now.
EDIT: Some people also reported that setting Build For Active Architectures to YES was also necessary to solve this problem.
As of 2014-04-28 the setting should look something like this:
I solved this problem by setting that:
ARCHS = armv7 armv7s
VALID_ARCHS = armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64
I ran into the same/similar issue implementing AVPictureInPictureController and the issue was that I wasn't linking the AVKit framework in my project.
The error message was:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_AVPictureInPictureController", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in yourTarget.a(yourObject.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7

The Solution:
Go to your Project
Select your Target
Then, go to Build Phases
Open Link Binary With Libraries
Finally, just add + the AVKit framework / any other framework.
Hopefully this helps someone else running into a similar issue I had.
I also encountered the same problem , the above methods will not work . I accidentally deleted the files in the following directory on it .

This might be related to libz.dylib or libz.tbd, just have to add it to your targets for the linking binaries, and try to compile again.
You need to just remove arm64 from Valid Architecture and set NO to Active Architecture Only . Now just Clean, Build and Run. You will not see this error again.

Solved after deleting the content of the DerivedData-->Build-->Products-->Debug-iphoneos
I solved it by setting valid archs to armv7 armv7s and setting build active architectures only to YES in release and then doing a new "pod install" from the command line
Following worked for me:
Remove all pods
cd ios && pod deintegrate
Comment this line in ios/Podfile -> use_flipper!()
Reinstall all pods arch -x86_64 pod install
Run your app :) npm run ios
Environment:
Node version: 14.17.1
RN version: 6.0.0
OS: macOS BigSur m1
Given an iPhone 5s and not yet having received a 64 bit version of a third party library, I had to go back to 32 bit mode with the latest Xcode (prior to 5.1 it didn't complain).
I fixed this by deleting arm64 from the Valid Architectures list and then setting Build Active Architecture Only to NO. It seems to me this makes more sense than the other way around as shown above. I'm posting in case other people couldn't get any of the above solutions to work for them.
I had the same problem after upgrading to Xcode 5.1 and fixed it by setting Architectures to armv7 armv7s
Had been stuck on this issue the whole day.
I had multiple Schemes, it was compiling fine for Demo, Internal, Release - however Debug scheme just would not compile and was complaining about the libPods.a missing.
The solution was to go to the Project -> Target -> Build Settings and change "Build Active Architecture Only" to YES. Clean and build! Finally hours of head itching solved!
Setting -ObjC to Other Linker Flags in Build Settings of the target solved the problem.
This worked for me:
ios sdk 9.3
into your build setting of app.xcodeproj
valid architecture: armv7 armv7s
Build Active architecture : No
Clean and build , worked for me.
If you faced this issue on your Flutter project while building in Release mode (or Archive) check out my this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61446892/5502121
Long story short:
set your build system to New Build System in File > Project Settings…
remove ios and build_ios folders
run flutter create . to init new ios module
run pod install
run flutter pub get
check your Xcode build config (it should be Release mode and General iOS Device)
and you're good to go
The following worked for me to get GPUImage compiling without errors on Xcode 5.1 for both the 64-bit simulator and retina iPad Mini, without needing to remove arm64 from the Valid Architectures list (which defeats the purpose of owning a 64-bit device for testing 64-bit performance).
Download the .zip folder from the GitHub page: https://github.com/BradLarson/GPUImage
Unzip, and navigate to the 'framework' folder. From here, add and copy the 'Source' folder into your Xcode project. Ensure 'Copy items into destination group's folder' is ticked, and that 'Create groups for any added folders' is also ticked. This will copy the generic, iOS and Mac header/implementation files into your project.
If you don't need the Mac files because you're compiling for iOS you can delete the Mac folder either before you copy the files into your project, or simply delete the group from within Xcode.
Once you've added the Source folder to your project just use the following to begin using GPUImage's classes/methods:
#import "Source/GPUImage.h"
A few things to point out:
If you get an error saying 'Cocoa' not found, you've added the Mac folder/headers into your iOS project - simply delete the Mac group/files from your project and the warning will vanish
If you rename the Source folder (not the group in Xcode), use that name instead of "Source/GPUImage.h" in the #import instruction. So if you rename the folder to GPUImageFiles before you add to your project, use: #import "GPUImageFiles/GPUImage.h
Obviously ensure arm64 is selected in the Valid Architectures list to take advantage of the A7 64-bit processor!
This isn't a GPUImage.framework bundle (such as if you downloaded the framework from http://www.raywenderlich.com/60968/ios-7-blur-effects-gpuimage) so it may not the correct way to use GPUImage that Brad Larson intended, but it works for my current SpriteKit project.
There's no need to link to frameworks/libraries etc - just import the header and implementation source folder as described above
Hope the above helps - it seems there were no clear instructions anywhere despite the question being asked multiple times, but fear not, GPUImage definitely works for arm64 architecture!
This issue occurred for me after installing a pod via Podfile and pod install. After trying a bunch of different fixes I finally just imported the Pod manually (dragging the necessary files into my project) and that solved the problem.
As morisunshine answer pointed in right direction, a little tweak in his answer solved my problem for iOS8.2 .Thanks to him.
I solved this problem by setting that:
ARCHS = armv7
VALID_ARCHS = armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64
BUILD ACTIVE ARCHITECTURE ONLY= NO
Go to target Build Settings.
set BUILD ACTIVE ARCHITECTURE ONLY = NO for both Debug and Release
Build and run
In my case, I had to look for
C++ Standard Library and make sure that the libc++ was the one selected.
For me, I use opencv 2.4.9 in xcode 7.2 for iOS and the errors above occurred, and I solve the errors by using the opencv through pod install rather than offline opencv framework.
You can have a try by adding the opencv pod text below and delete the offline opencv framework if you have used.
pod 'OpenCV', '2.4.9'
None of the solutions fix this error in my case(Xcode 9), with TesseractOCRiOS. After hours of trial and error, I came up with a good solution. I just delete 'pod 'TesseractOCRiOS', '~> 4.0.0' in the Podfile, run pod install. And then, add pod 'TesseractOCRiOS', '~> 4.0.0' back to Podfile and run pod install again.
Bang! It works!
"The OPN [Debug] target overrides the OTHER_LDFLAGS build setting". This was the main issue. After adding $(inherited) in new line in other linker flags solved my issue.
in some case, if you define one more interface in a .h file, but did not implementation all these interface, this error occurred.
The linker can't found the implementation in .m file, so you need to implementation it in your .m file for every interface.
To resolve this error:
1.in .m file, supply the implementation for each interface.
2.rebuild
I faced the same issue.
My solution I found here: Why linker link static libraries with errors? iOS
Adding $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME) to the library search paths fixed the problem.
This linker error message suggests that the source file defining it is not marked as being part of your app target. Find that source file, and use the File property inspector on the right to check the target membership entry for your app target.
Solution:
Select the file -> openFile Inspector -> see Target Membership -> check if unchecked target your running target
