Answer 1

I have seen this issue in a few projects that were created prior to Xcode 4.2, and then used Xcode 4.2 to submit the binary to the app store.

You need to go into your info-plist and add the key "Required Device Capabilities". This key is an array, and you need two string items: "armv6" and "armv7".

The plist source looks like this:

<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
 <array>
  <string>armv6</string>
  <string>armv7</string>
</array>
