How to use .a's built in lower version with Xcode 4.5

Question

Can I use .a's built with Xcode 4.3.3 in Xcode 4.5? When I build with simulator it is building fine, when I'm build for device it is showing many reference error. What I am suspecting is .a's I'm using is older. Am I right. Is there any way I can fix this problem instead of building all .a's with Xcode 4.5.

thanks.

I think this is an issue with using a library which was build supporting armv6, which has been dropped in Xcode 4.5

The best long term solution is to ask the developer who created these libraries to rebuild to support the latest Xcode, but in the meantime you can try following these instructions
