Hacking Up an armv7s Library
Matt Galloway (via David Spector):
Well the iPhone 5 has been announced and it just so happens that the architecture it uses is what they’re calling
armv7s. This brings in yet another architecture to the mix alongsidearmv6andarmv7. And I bet you are wondering why you’re getting linker errors when building forarmv7swhen using external libraries. It’s because those external libraries do not havearmv7sversions!
I hadn’t seen Galloway’s blog before; he also has a good post about how objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue works.

I've got a solution for ya* which doesn't involve pursuing updated dependencies or hacking up a third-party library, buster: Go to the Architectures setting of your app and remove armv7s! I mean, have these guys lost their minds?
*ya being the prototypical app developer who wonders what's going on and what to do.
@Jesper The link is fixed; thanks.
@Pierre Thanks! I had assumed the problem was deeper than Apple forcing armv7s unnecessarily, because why would they do that?
