I'm trying to open one of my older projects, that was built using iOS 6.0. The project used to compile fine, but when opened under xCode 5, I get this cryptic error message.

Unsupported compiler 'com.apple.compilers.llvmgcc42' selected for architecture 'armv7'
Unable to determine concrete GCC compiler for file /Users/alexanderstone/Desktop/Development/RestKit/Vendor/NXJSON/NSError+Extensions.m of type sourcecode.c.objc.

Unable to determine concrete GCC compiler for file /Users/alexanderstone/Desktop/Development/RestKit/Vendor/NXJSON/NXJsonSerializer.m of type sourcecode.c.objc.

I've checked both project build settings, and they appear correct - LLVM 5.0 is selected as compiler for both.

Additionally, I checked the .m files that compiler complains about, and do not see any reference to GCC there. There are some ASSERT() and other macros, but I don't know if they are compiler-specific.

How can I resolve the llvmgcc4.2 compiler missing in xCode 5, when all subprojects appear to be set to llvm5.0?

Found this similar question. For me the solution was to go to Editor>Validate Project settings for both the child and the Restkit projects.

One solution of this problem is that i have resolved when i was facing this issue is just go to Build Settings-> Build Options-> Compiler for c++ set to Default and your problem wil be solved. see attached

Additionally, for opening in XCode 7 and for architecture 'i386', setting the compiler to 'Default compiler (Apple LLVM 7.1)' is one solution.
