Getting error of armv7s and armv7 while archiving for release

Question

I am getting error when archiving (for release)

ld: entry point (_main) undefined. for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

ld: entry point (_main) undefined. for architecture armv7s
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Any help will be appreciated.

I have followed that, but still the same error, if i change archive mode from release to debug, there is no error. — Prachi Rajput, Feb 12 '14 at 11:02

My Issue was this:
Somehow my "main.m" got removed from "Compiler Source" in my Project Settings/Target.
Adding it back, SOLVED it.

Finally after a lot of tries I got the answer, the problem was related to private path, as there should be a public path for 3rd party library.

Can you please be a little bit more specific, as I have the same problem and cannot find a solution. – zirinisp Jun 04 '14 at 17:04
what do yo mean public/private path ? i have the same error and im using few 3rd libs – user63898 Nov 09 '14 at 19:22
Private/public path is, the folder path(where folder is saved) of 3rd party libs, save folder into your project and change path from Library Search Paths. – Prachi Rajput Dec 02 '14 at 06:23
what? can you explain a bit more? encountering the same issue. – John Smith Mar 05 '15 at 12:33
Remove all paths from library search path ,copy your 3rd party libraries into your project and add path of libraries again. – Prachi Rajput Mar 13 '15 at 05:13

I have found solution for your problem, you don't have main.m method, create it like this,

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

#import "AppDelegate.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    @autoreleasepool {
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}

I couldn't understand why it is working for archiving in debug mode. – Prachi Rajput Feb 12 '14 at 11:36
Solved my problem. I, too, already had a main.m but it was not in (Project Overview -> Targets -> Build Phases -> Compile sources). Readded and everything works fine again! – fat32 Feb 24 '15 at 19:23

In my case, changing the iOS Development Target to the min version of the Xcode supported resolved this issue, see image: It was 5.0, which is far lower than the Xcode 13's min supported version, which is 9.0. Changing it to iOS 9.0 worked well.
