XCode 5.1 force 32 bit compilation for a Cocos2d-iphone v3 project

Question

I am using SpriteBuilderwith Cocos2d-iphone v3.

Ever since updating to XCode 5.1 my application crashes when I use CCButton actions defined directly in SpriteBuilder. This seems to be the cause

This is most likely a cast or pointer conversion, going bad on 64 bit.

as pointed out by @birkemose at the Cocos2d forums

How can I force XCode 5.1 to compile my project in 32 bit even for my 64 bit devices?

Update: Fix by updating Cocos2d to RC4

xCode 5.1 build crashes - SpriteBuilder

In your project's build settings, change Architectures from "Standard architectures" to "armv7, armv7s" (without the quotes).

Or as matt pointed out, you can use $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) instead, which is arguably the better way to go. Thanks matt!

Actually it would be better to put $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) rather than hard-coding those two specific architectures. – Delayedaction

So I would have to do this in the target or the application or both? – Sculpin

I get a lot of linker errors for Chipmunk if I do it in the target, and the application still crashes from CCButton block if only the app build settings are set like so Imgur – Sculpin

Actually it does work. But you can't force 32 bit compilation and then say that build only for current device on debug if it is a 64 bit device. – Sculpin
