I'm working on a game that has cocos2d with ARC.
The game builds & runs fine in Simulator, but when I build for device I get Apple Mac-O Linker Errors, saying that I'm missing the libraries for libcocos2d.a etc.
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/aleksandartrpeski/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/jellyfish-fsomqwhqasishxcfzhgvccrdvzpt/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libcocos2d.a'
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/aleksandartrpeski/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/jellyfish-fsomqwhqasishxcfzhgvccrdvzpt/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libCocosDenshion.a'
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/aleksandartrpeski/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/jellyfish-fsomqwhqasishxcfzhgvccrdvzpt/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libkazmath.a'
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/aleksandartrpeski/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/jellyfish-fsomqwhqasishxcfzhgvccrdvzpt/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/liblibpng.a'
When I go to the folder where the file is missing I only see jellyfish.app.
I don't have much experience in this kind of issues & I'm not clear why this happens, I checked how to start the project from TinyTimGames & LearnCocos2D, still not clear what I'm doing wrong.
I've solved the issue, the builds for the binaries were somehow ignored by XCode because they were for another architecture, by settings the build settings for the cocos2d target Build For Active Architectures Only to NO, the issue dissapeared.
