Command /usr/bin/lipo failed with exit code 1 error

Question

I have finally finished my app and I was getting ready to upload when this sudden error hit me and I have no idea what to do. I have checked other posts saying to change the code signing identity and I have done this but no luck. I tried every single option in the identity and no change. If anyone knows what is going on I would really appreciate it since I would simply just like to submit my app.

Here is what else it says in the erorr log:

/usr/bin/lipo: /Users/teddy/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/grocery_stores-dcyubhefhrcjhtcxbhldfpukdgdz/Build/Intermediates/grocery stores.build/Release-iphoneos/grocerystores.build/Objects-normal/armv7/grocery stores and /Users/teddy/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/grocery_stores-dcyubhefhrcjhtcxbhldfpukdgdz/Build/Intermediates/grocery stores.build/Release-iphoneos/grocery stores.build/Objects-normal/armv7/grocery stores have the same architectures (armv7) and can't be in the same fat output file

Command /usr/bin/lipo failed with exit code 1

Answer 1

I solved this issue by changing the value of the Valid Architecture found in Project > Build Settings > Architectures from the default "armv6 armv7" to "armv7". Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's hard to see what exactly is happening without the command you are running. It looks to me like you are specifying the same input file twice, namely the arm7 version and lipo is telling you you can't add 2 arm7 versions of grocery stores to the universal file. Can you please enter the entire lipo command you are running? From the lipo man page: -create Take the input files (or file) and create one universal output file from them. Do you possibly have the same file listed twice here?
