I didn t find this suggestion here so here it goes  if your project has more than one target  ie one for OSX and one for iOS  then you must link the relevant libraries for each target   so for example in my case I needed AudioToolbox   I had to add it once for OSX and once for iOS  under the frameworks folder  you must have a duplicate of each library for each target   if you see only one   then that s a red flag

I received the  Undefined symbols for architecture armv7   error when trying to compile a project that had the target build setting for  C   Standard Library  set to  libc     necessary as the project was using some features from C   11   and the project included a sub-project that had the same setting set to  libstdc     or compiler default as it is currently    Changing the sub-project s  C   Standard Library  setting to libc   fixed it  but only after first setting the deployment target for the sub-project to 5 0 or above  5 0 is necessary for libc

Common Causes  The common causes for  Undefined symbols for architecture armv7  are    You import a header and do not link against the correct library  This is common  especially for headers for libraries like QuartzCore since it is not included in projects by default  To resolve    Add the correct libraries in the Link Binary With Libraries section of the Build Phases  If you want to add a library outside of the default search path you can include the path in the Library Search Paths value in the Build Settings and add -l library name without lib and suffix   eg  for libz a use -lz  to the Other Linker Flags section of Build Settings   You copy files into your project but forgot to check the target to add the files to  To resolve    Open the Build Phases for the correct target  expand Compile Sources and add the missing  m files  If this is your issue please upvote Cortex s answer below as well   You include a static library that is built for another architecture like i386  the simulator on your host machine  To resolve    If you have multiple library files from your libraries vendor to include in the project you need to include the one for the simulator  i386  and the one for the device  armv7 for example   Optionally  you could create a fat static library that contains both architectures         Original Answer   You have not linked against the correct libz file  If you right click the file and reveal in finder its path should be somewhere in an iOS sdk folder  Here is mine for example      Developer Platforms iPhoneOS platform Developer SDKs iPhoneOS4 3 sdk usr lib   I recommend removing the reference and then re-adding it back in the Link Binary With Libraries section Build Phases of your target

Try to implement at least one non-inline function of your derived class  If you don t do this  the linker might avoid creating type info for that class

If you re building from Unity3D 5 and also using a Prime31 plugin and you re getting this error it s probably due to a duplicate  dll  If you look through your warnings in Unity s editor one of them will tell you this and warn that it could cause build errors  To see if this is the case  type P31 in your project search field and it should pop right up  maybe even more than one  The duplicate s will have a   1  at the end of the file name  This is probably caused from updating the plugin in editor via the store or the Prime31 menu tab

If you have the flag -ObjC under your Target   Build Settings   Other Linker Flags and you re getting this issue  consider removing it  If you intentionally added it because you need to load some Obj-C code from a static library that wouldn t normally be loaded otherwise  IE  an Obj-C category  then you should use -force load  lt path gt  instead of -ObjC    lt path gt  should be relative to your Xcode project directory  IE  if your directory structure looks like this   iOSProject     iOSAPI framework         iOSAPI     iOSAPI xcodeproj   Then you should have this flag set for Other Linker Flags   -force load iOSAPI framework iOSAPI   If you want to include multiple libraries like that  then you should include a separate -force load line for each of them   -force load iOSAPI framework iOSAPI -force load another framework another

Probably some classes are missing from your target  This usually happens when you rename remove add new classes files to your project  To fix add the newly added classes to some targets   Select the class in the Project Navigator  right sidebar    open the Utilities sidebar  right sidebar   from the Utilities select the File Inspector  file like icon   under the Target Membership tab tick your targets  This is all to avoid the  Remove reference  and add again with ticking  Add to targets  trick   So  Select Class -  Utilities  File Inspector  -  Target Membership -  Tick the targets you want

I give you more suggestions that you can check when other common suggestions are not help   If you link with other project libxxx a  you might sometimes meet strange problem which you can find the symbol with tools like nm but they just can not find the symbols in ld  Then you should check if the two projects are built in the same flags  some of them may affect the binary format    check c   compiler  check c   dialect setting  check c   runtime type support   -frtti -fnortti  check if there is  a with the same name appears elsewhere  could be beyond the wanted file in the link path list  remove them
