I had to be sure to change these settings in both the Target and Project settings on xCode 4.3.2 after doing that and setting it to build for both armv6 and armv7 everywhere I was able to submit my app.

For safe measure I also exited xCode between making the changes and doing a clean, build, archive cycle.

An ios 6 update    Changes in Xcode 4 5 x for ios 6   Xcode 4 5 x  and later  does not support generating armv6 binaries  Now includes iPhone 5 armv7s support  The minimum supported deployment target with Xcode 4 5 x or later is iOS 4 3

In addition to Nick s answer about Xcode 4 2  you may also need to review your info plist file   It seems as if new projects started in Xcode 4 2 by default specify  armv7  in the  Required Device Capabilities    You ll need to remove this if wanting to support devices that run armv6  e g  the iPhone 3G      Delete armv7 from the  Required device capabilities  in yourProjectName-Info plist

I had this problem even after following the accepted answer and found the following to work   In your Info plist  add an entry for Required Device Capabilities  This should be an array and will have two entries     Item 0   armv6 Item 1   armv7   It will look like this

Here is Apple s documentation   Technical Q amp A QA1760  It says there are two things that you must get right    Add armv6 to the Architecture build settings Set Build Active Architecture Only to No    If this still doesn t help you  double check that you are really changing the architecture build settings for the right build configuration     I wasted half an hour fiddling with the wrong one and wondering why it didn t work      Select Edit Scheme    in the Product menu  click the  Archive  scheme in the left list and check the Build Configuration  Change the value if it was not what you expected

Quite a painful problem for me too  Just spent about an hour trying to build and re-build - no joy  In the end I had to do this    Upgrade the base SDK to the latest   in my case iOS 5   Restart xCode Clean  amp  Build It worked    I guess it s a bunch of jargon about arm6   arm7 as it looked like my project was valid for both  at least the settings seemed to say so     my guess is this is a cynical way to bamboozle us with the technicalities  which we don t understand  so we just take the easy option and target the latest iOS   good for Apple with more people being up-to-date

Try changing your deployment target to something higher than an armv6 processor   The settings for xCode are referencing the operating system level  for instance  iOS version  3 1  3 2  4 0  4 1  4 2  4 3  5 0  5 1     i You can set this in the build settings tab or the summary tab   Start at the top left of the window in the Project Navigator  with all the files listed in it   Click the top-most one which has a blue icon      ii If you are planning on using the programmable shader line circuitry  which is accessed and controlled through openGL ES 2 0 API  then you should set your  Deployment Version  to about 4 3  which I believe is only available on devices such as the 3GS or newer  xCode is reporting that iOS 4 2 5 or higher is needed run armv7 code  And once again  this processor  I believe  started with the 3GS    iOS 4 3 seems to be the choice for me  for now    http   theiphonewiki com wiki index php title Armv7  http   en wikipedia org wiki List of iOS devices

I had this problem too  I just set my deployment target to 4 3 and left only armv7 architecture and it worked  At point almost everyone has 5  so 4 3 is fine

Note  I had to perform these steps for both my base project  and the embedded PhoneGap  xcodeproj file in my application   Yes  I embed PhoneGap  they update far to frequently  and I ve got less than two months to know that a feature is depreciated

If you uncheck  Build Active Architecture Only   then it will build all the valid architectures   Update  This is no longer applicable as of Xcode 4 - follow Nick s instructions for Xcode 4 and later

Wow  I update submit apps about every 6 months  Every time I do this I have to learn the  new  way to do it     Same problems as described above when running iOS 5 1  and Xcode 4 3 2  Thanks for the posts  I spent a while updating all of the project settings to armv6  armv7  but no joy  When I set  build active architecture only  to No I got a build error about putting both objects in the same directory   Fortunately  I noticed you guys were modifying the target build settings instead  This is what finally worked  armv6  armv7  and setting  build active architecture only  to No under the Target build Settings   As a disclaimer  I had already set all of the architectures to armv6  armv7 in the project settings too   Anyway  thanks for the help  Brent

If using Xcode 4 2 or higher  try the following    Click your Project name  in the left column   followed by the Target    Click the  Build Settings  tab  in the right column     Click the  Release  or  Distribution  row under  Architectures   and choose  Other        Double click the highlighted row named    ARCHS STANDARD 32 BIT   in the popover that appears  and replace it by typing  armv6   Then add a new row with the plus button in the bottom left of the popover  and type  armv7   then click Done      Update  you should add armv7s to target the iPhone 5 as well   And drop armv6 if building with Xcode 4 5 or higher  which no longer supports armv6    That s it  You should now be able to build archive without generating errors   If it still doesn t work  see this answer from justinxreese  which suggests adding entries for armv6 and armv7 under  Required Device Capabilities  in your info plist file

If xCode keep complaining about armv7  make sure you disconnect any connect device  especially iPhone 5    and try again  Took me hours to find out that little piece of information
