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 theLink Binary With Libraries
section of theBuild Phases
.
• If you want to add a library outside of the default search path you can include the path in theLibrary Search Paths
value in the Build Settings and add
-l{library_name_without_lib_and_suffix} (eg. for libz.a use -lz) to theOther Linker Flags
section ofBuild Settings
.You copy files into your project but forgot to check the target to add the files to. To resolve:
• Open theBuild Phases
for the correct target, expandCompile 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 afat static library
that contains both architectures.
