iPhone apps with a deployment target lower than 4.3 should include an armv6 architecture

Question

I have a problem :-( When I build my application for release XCode shows a warning saying:

iPhone apps with a deployment target lower than 4.3 should include an armv6 architecture (current IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = "3.0", ARCHS = "armv7").

But how can I set armv6 in my build settings? I'm using XCode 4.2 and here's my build settings:

Thanks!

I haven't used the version, but the current Xcode won't support signing for iOS 2.0 , so when iOS 5 comes out, 3.0 might have the same issue of not being supported

This is from http://www.weston-fl.com/blog/?p=3050 (This site has helped me resolve so many errors, so props to Mike D.)

1. In Xcode navigate to Build Settings and find Architectures group (it’s on the top, so hard to miss). Add armv6 to Architectures line. It should contain armv6, armv7 or Standard (armv6 armv7)
2. Set Base SDK to Latest iOS (currently set to iOS …)
3. Uncheck Build Active Architecture Only or set it to NO.
4. Valid Architectures must show armv6 armv7 When your project uses your own dependent libraries, build them with the same (correct) configuration.

Oh, maybe you're right :-). But in the meantime is it possible to add armv6? – Sexlimited

After some research, I found a useful blog post that detailed how to fix this. It's now in my answer – Gushy

Wanted to add that for the Architecture setting, "armv6 armv7" might not work. For my project, it only worked when I left the old value, and added armv6, resulting in: "armv6 $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT)" – Pluvial

Interesting. Well Xcode does define $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) to be armv7 (as seen in the screenshot from the question), so the same principle is behind it. See what works for you, brack's method seem to work for him. – Gushy

Changing Architectures to "armv6 armv7" worked for me in xcode 4.2 – Relieve

To be completely clear for newbies: As Sum says in comments, Xcode has a variable for the current architecture. In the drop-down on the major "Architectures" category, select the drop down, and in my case armv6 is no longer available in the list (pre-iOS 5). So I selected other, then the plus button, and added the literal string "armv6" to the list, then build. That takes care of that! – Negrillo
