ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

Answer 1

Go your project settings, Build Settings, Architectures, and select "Other...". Modify the string to read $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT).

Answer 2

The last release of cocos2d-x (Cocos2d-x v3.0 rc0) fixes this issue. The new version adds arm64 support for XCode 5.1.

You should upgrade your project downloading the new version from here.

More information can be found on the official changelog.

Answer 3

Are those external libraries also compiled for arm64? Because if not, then you must disable it in Xcode settings e.g. making it {ARCHS_STANDARD_32BIT}

Answer 4

Change your libraries version.

In my case, I change UIKit.framework, CoreMotion.framework and OpenGLES.framework libraries for iOS 7.1 version. (at Build Phases > LinkBinary With Libraries)

Delete red colored libraries and add new version of it.
