I am getting this problem after i build for archiving. My project appears in the archiving list. When i press the validate button it asks for the normal info and i give it what it asks. At the end it says i have an error. The error reads: iPhone/iPad touch: application executable is missing a required architecture. At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv6 I googled it and i have seen the link GoNorthWest posted in another thread <a href="https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Common_Apple_Errors_and_Solutions_v1.0.pdf"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Common_Apple_Errors_and_Solutions_v1.0.pdf"</a>; target="_blank" <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198676/warning-iphone-apps-should-include-anarmv6-architecture-even-with-build-config" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198676/warning-iphone-apps-should-include-anarmv6-architecture-even-with-build-config</a> but when i try that the errors list grows. Im not sure how i am supposed to get out of this one. I tried added the armv6 manually as the link says but i still get errors. Its the last thing i gotta do to submit but these dumb errors are increasing the rate of grey hairs outbreaks! How do we insert files such as screen shots on there threads?

What is your minimum operating system target?

On xcode you select your project (blue icon) and in the building settings, in the architectures, delete what you have there and add armv7 and armv6. Thas should solve it. Miguel

@ Calyso where do i find that? @Madrod. I tried that but still not working. I click on the blue icon and change it there. Am i supposed to double click the area that says armv7, armv7s and when i click other it has $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) and i erase that and type in armv6 and then hit the add button and add armv7 When i click out of it is says valid architecture: armv6 armv7. I wish there was a way i can show my print screens on here to show you what i have done.

I think when you add your architecture type it in like this armv6 armv7 Both if them on the same line at the same time just separated by a space, it should work like that it works for me.

Should i change the ios target to 4.3? or leave it at 4.6

Do you have the same error if you compile for IOS 5.0?

i just tried 5 and it doesnt make a difference. There 2 places where the architecture can be changed. The first is in under projects (blue icon) and the second is under targets with the orangie icon. where am i supposed to be making these changes. The valid architects section shows armv7 and armv7s. Do i change them in the blue icon under architects AND the area that says valid architects? and so i leave the targets area alone and not add the armv6 armv7?

You are supposed to change them in build settings under your targets , one thing , what is your deployment target ( lowest ios platform)?

Make sure as well that your deployment target is the same in two places 1. Under the blue project(blue icon) in info 2. Under the targets (orange) in summary If you are using 4.3 make sure that both of them are 4.3 and then you would only require armv7 not armv6 I'm pretty sure that is where the mistake is

@armacfan. It finally worked and was submitted for review. Thank you so much for all your help. Without your words it couldn't have submitted it. The problem was the targets were different. Thank again.

Sure , you're welcome, that is what this forum is for ..it is something to watch out for, many people wouldn't notice the targets "trick"

Yeah i didn't realise there was 2 spots where this can be changed. The more difficulty i go through now in uploading my apps the easier it will become for future apps. Im really excited that it has been uploaded. How long does it usually take for an approval. I read somewhere between 3-14 days? Would it really take 14 days?

Most of the time, it takes anywhere between 5-7 or 8 days, so far for my apps it had been that way..

OK thanks for the advice. I hope i dont get rejected for whatever reason. What do i have to do now if i want to work on updating the app? I mean with design and live mode etc? Im not exactly sure what i need to do with it.
