Xcode - symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 (iOS Lib)

Solution 1:

I had the same trouble with building static library.
Finally I have found the basic solution. (You need to build universal library for x86_64/armv7/armv7s/arm64)

enter image description here

1) Click on the project file
2) Click on the target
3) Open "Build Phases"
4) Open "Run Script"
5) Add "/bin/sh" and the script below

#
# Version 2.7
#
# Latest Change:
# - Supports iPhone 5 / iPod Touch 5 (uses Apple's workaround to lipo bug)
#
# Purpose:
#   Automatically create a Universal static library for iPhone + iPad + iPhone Simulator from within XCode
#
# Author: Adam Martin - http://twitter.com/redglassesapps
# Based on: original script from Eonil (main changes: Eonil's script WILL NOT WORK in Xcode GUI - it WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER)

# IF this is the original invocation, invoke WHATEVER other builds are required
#
# Xcode is already building ONE target...
#
# ...but this is a LIBRARY, so Apple is wrong to set it to build just one.
# ...we need to build ALL targets
# ...we MUST NOT re-build the target that is ALREADY being built: Xcode WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER if you try this (infinite recursion!)

# So: build ONLY the missing platforms/configurations.

6) Hit "cmd + B" (Build Project)

7) Open Product in Finder

enter image description here

8) Navigate 1 directory up ("cmd + ↑"), and you will see "Release-universal" directory. enter image description here

There will be your "fat/universal" library, You are ready to go!

Solution 2:

I encountered this with a framework lib I'm using in one of my apps, when I tried to test it in iPhone Retina 64bit simulator.

I simply added x86_64 as an architecture to build for and set it to always build for all architectures. Worked a charm.
