missing required architecture x86_64 in file libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a

Question

According to the Ray Wenderlich tutorial, I done the following :

Step 1 - I downloaded CorePlot_1.4.zip on the official website

Step 2 - I added to my project the CorePlotHeaders folder and the static library named libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a (checking “Copy items into destination group’s folder (if needed)”)

Step 3 - I added into Other Linker Flags field the following : -ObjC

Step 4 - I checked into Link Binary with Libraries if libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a and QuartzCore frameworks were here

Result : When I compile my project, it works fine when I'm using Iphone Retina (4-Inch). But when I'm using Iphone Retina (4-Inch 64-bit) I got the following message when I try to build and run :

ld: warning: ignoring file /blah/blah/libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a, missing required architecture x86_64 in file /blah/blah/libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a (3 slices)

Here the complete message :

ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/me/Desktop/project/libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a, missing required architecture x86_64 in file /Users/me/Desktop/project/libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a (3 slices)

I spent several hours on this issue... Please help...

Answer 1

If you want a 64-bit version of Core Plot, you'll have to build a new version of the static library. Arm64 builds require iOS 7 but Core Plot supports earlier versions, too, so the pre-built library is 32-bit only.

Open CorePlot-CocoaTouch.xcodeproj and change the architecture settings to "Standard Architectures (including 64-bit)". Either build the "Universal Library" target and include the resulting static library in place of the one included with Core Plot 1.4 or use the dependent project setup instead.

Answer 2

CorePlot has released 1.5.1 to work with Xcode 5.1. You only need to copy the CorePlotHeaders folder and the libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a file to your project.

You can download it from here.
