Error when trying to archive to submit to apple store - Using Xcode 6 phone gap 4.0

[Fernando Molinari]

Hello,

App runs fine on device and simulator.

I'm trying to submit a new version to app store.

When trying to archive I get these errors:

1. Apple Mach-O Linker Error - Linker command failed with exit code 1

2. Dsymutil Error - Unable to open executable...

3. Strip Symbols Error

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Fernando

I haven't any experience with this error, and I really don't know very much about XCode, just enough to hopefully build my PhoneGap projects.  But anytime I get something unexpected like this, especially on something that worked before, I do a Product >> Clean and see if that fixes it, or at least provides a better error.

Hope this helps.

I tried that but it doesn't work. I also tried clean while holding the option key without success. Thanks anyway.

I'm adding the entire error - 3 errors in total:

Something smells fishy here. Have you modified any build settings, perchance? 

You could also try to create a new project, move your code over and add plugins and platforms to see if that helps (this is a bit more drastic than clean, though, and if you have native code changes, that'll take some effort.)

Are you using Xcode to submit the app?

[Fernando Molinari]

Thanks for your response.

This is already a new project I mean I updated existing project from older version of phonegap and did what you suggested.

I was able; finally to archive but using release instead of distribution. No change in build settings.

Yes I use Xcode to submit the app.

Waiting for apple's approval now.

Fernando

Hi 

Please tell if you have fixed your error.

I am facing an issue which may cause the same error as you while submitting to the iOS App store.

Pls help me solve this issue here: ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29813051/cordova-linker-error-when-build-active-architecture-only-is-no-file-was-built-f )
