Building ios corePlot with Xcode 5.0 using a Dependent project scenario

Question

I am new to IOS and am writing an ios 7.0 app that uses coreplot (latest version 1.3). I had the "Build active architecture" set to YES - so during the development, I did not run into any linking problem (I used static linking method as described at https://code.google.com/p/core-plot/wiki/UsingCorePlotInApplications

Then I built and deployed on my device (iphone 4, ios 7). It worked fine - I dont remember if it asked to change build settings or not. Today morning, when I tried to run the same code on simulator it started giving me linker error. After doing some research, I realized I need to set the build for active architecture to No and rebuild the core plot using "dependent project install" strategy. I am stuck at the point where I need to set the header files search path. The compilation fails to detect the header file. The coreplot is in a directory CorePlot_1.3.

The main linking error reads as "ignoring file /Users/rmenon/Documents/Developer/MoneyTrail/MoneyTrail/libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a, missing required architecture x86_64 in file /Users/rmenon/Documents/Developer/MoneyTrail/MoneyTrail/libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a (3 slices)"

As part of my attempt to solve this, I tried to load the coreplot project separately, change the architecure to Stndard (armv7 nd armv7s) and tried to build it. I get two deprecation errors below. Any help in getting me compile this library for ios 7 so I can use the same setting in debug and device would be really appreciated! Thank you!

You'll need to update to a newer version of Core Plot. It has been updated to work with Xcode 5 and iOS 7, but we haven't done a release with those changes yet. You can pull the latest code with Mercurial or wait for the next release, which should be soon (within the next week or so).
