Xcode 5.1 ld: library not found for -lGoogleAnalyticsServices

Question

Today I updated my Xcode to Xcode 5.1, and now every time I try to compile my code and test it on the simulator I got several errors about architecture 86_64 and Google Analytics Services Library. This is what I got:

I updated also the Google Analytics Library and tried to remove and readd it but nothing.

I downloaded and a new version 3.03c, did a clean and build and everything went back to normal. I'm guessing your old library (like mine) didn't support these architectures. Here's the URL https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ios/resources — DBD, Mar 13 '14 at 19:51
I already tried that, I removed all the .m and .h and framework files...then readded again all the files of the 3.03c performed a clean but nothing changed...maybe the problem is in "Build Settings"...What did you set up on "Search Path" and "Valid Architectures" ? — prelite, Mar 13 '14 at 20:11
Changing the target to ïOSDevice fixed issue for me. For simulators its not working. Strange. — Nirav, May 22 '14 at 09:27

Thanks. Saved me a lot of time. it is really annoying that the V3 is not backward compatible. And the new methods require more coding to do the same thing than the previous version. Please accept your own answer as the right answer. – Ray Mar 14 '14 at 14:31

You'll get this error if you load .xcodeproj file and try to build it. Open up the .xcworkspace that's included instead and you'll be fine.

Either select "Open other" and select it from your project directory, or from a command prompt in your project directory:

open <YourProjectName>.xcworkspace

No other dependencies should be needed.
