No architectures to compile for (ARCHS=i386, VALID_ARCHS=arm64 armv7 armv7s)

Question

Preface: I did look at similar questions and none of the answers seemed to fix my problem.

I am trying to build my xcode (version 5.1.1) project using:

xcodebuild clean build -sdk iphonesimulator7.0 -arch "armv7s" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO,

when I run this I get: No architectures to compile for (ARCHS=armv7s, VALID_ARCHS=i386 x86_64) as an error. I tried the above command with all of the VALID_ARCHS (rm64 armv7 armv7s) as inputs. So I then tried running this command:

xcodebuild clean build -sdk iphonesimulator7.0 -arch "i386" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO

and I then get No architectures to compile for (ARCHS=i386, VALID_ARCHS=arm64 armv7 armv7s) as an error. I tried running the above command with all the other VALID_ARCHS (i386 x86_64) and no luck with that either. I don't know why these architecture errors are occurring. I have cocoapods in my project, and the first answer in the link above didn't fix my issue.

[By default, Xcodebuild builds the first target listed in the project (and with the default build configuration)](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/xcodebuild.1.html). How many targets are in your project? does the first — Michael Dautermann, May 28 '14 at 22:49
@MichaelDautermann I have "arm64 armv7 armv7s" under `Valid Architectures` in my xcode project — heinst, May 29 '14 at 11:37
add "i386" too, since the Simulator is using a different architecture. — Michael Dautermann, May 29 '14 at 11:46
@MichaelDautermann Pls help me always getting No architectures to compile for (ARCHS=i386, VALID_ARCHS=arm64 armv7 armv7s) error — Ravindhiran, Feb 22 '17 at 06:29

You can override your default variables: Try to use this:

xcodebuild clean build -sdk iphonesimulator7.0 -arch "i386" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO VALID_ARCHS="i386 x86_64"

If you building for Simulator - always build for i386/x86_64.

How do you fix this inside the Project Settings? – Meekohi Dec 04 '15 at 20:27
in my case i add this line by reference of above answer -arch i386 ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO VALID_ARCHS=i386 its work for me .thanks @Sath89 – Muhammad Noman Mar 09 '16 at 09:31

Go to your project settings (not targets). Then open Build Settings and add a value to Valid architectures: i386
