    I've just updated to latest XCode Version 7.1.1 (7B1005) and Unity 5.2.3f1 and my project cannot be built anymore. I'm building for simulator so I selected "Simulator SDK" in Unity build settings. "Device SDK" works fine, but I need to test it on simulators.

    The error is:

    ld: in /Users/alex/Desktop/Ka226_18-11-2015/ka226/Libraries/libiPhone-lib.a(GeoRingBuffer.o), building for iOS simulator, but linking in object file built for OSX, for architecture x86_64

    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)


    I've tried googling some solutions but nothing helps. Also I'm not using any plugins, just plain unity project. Who knows how to solve the problem?

    I'm having the same problem, and just saw this in latest release note :
    • (740343) - iOS: Fixed simulator support on Xcode 7.1.

    Thanks for pointing this out. But looks like it's not actually fixed. I'm using latest 5.2.3f1 and the linker error persists. Also tried downgrading to 5.2.2p4. Same problem.

    I'm having the same problem using version 5.2.2p4.
    As a workaround I have just downgraded to Unity 5.2.2p3 and the build is now succeeding. Thanks @Mr.Tsunami!

    All simulator linker issues have been fixed in 5.2.3p2 (5.2.2p4 had another regression).

    The archived projects will have larger size due to additional bitcode information, but this is harmless. Bitcode information size is ignored during app size limit calculations during App Store submission.

    I'm still seeing this with Unity 5.3.0f4 and Xcode 7.1 (7B91b). Using otool from the command line, you can see that libiPhone-lib.a still has some code marked as built for MacOSX. It would be nice if there is a way to set a linker flag in xcode that relaxes the assertion, but I have not found any.

    I'm seeing the same error as mitchallen with Xcode 7.2 (7C68) / Unity 5.3.0f4 Personal, and cannot build for the Simulator. I tried setting ENABLE_BITCODE to both YES and NO, but it doesn't make a difference.

    Same here. Unity 5.3.0f4. XCode 7.2.
    I noticed in XCode that the target's base SDK is iphonesimulator (SDK not found) and architecture was i386.
    Switched to Base SDK of most recent (iOS 9.2) and Architectures to standard (these are the settings I'd have in a native app). Bitcode was off by default.
    Builds OK, but the app crashes with Symbol not found:
    Really need a fix on this! Or at least a workaround.

    EDIT:
    They closed issue https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/ios-linker-error-on-ios-simulator-build
    in 5.2.3f1, I've submitted a new bug, but not sure how long they take to show on issue tracker. Will try to update here as I find information.

    At the moment I can compile Cardboard 0.6 in this way:
    Unity 5.2.2f1
    Xcode 7.1.1
    the problem is to send the app to the phone, in my phone there is 9+ iOS and Xcode 7.1.1 can't recognize it.
    I build an archive and I transfer to the iphone with adhoc way. It works.
    In conclusion where is the problem?: Cardboard 0.6?Unity5.3.2f1?Xcode7.2.1?

    This seems to be a different bug. Could you submit a bug report with a repro project and send me the bug id (or just post it there)?

    A little step ahead:
    Unity 5.3.2f1 can create an iOS project with Cardboard 0.6 without problems.
    At the moment I can compile it only with Xcode 7.1.1, Xcode 7.2.1 gives errors like: linker command failed with exit code.1.
    It seems that the problem is between the libraries of Cardboard 0.6 and Xcode 7.2.1. passing through Unity.
    Can a Unity guy inform the google Cardboard developer team of that?
    Thanks,
    Claudio

    Which platform and scripting backend you see this issue on?

    I could not reproduce this issue either on iOS il2cpp/mono or tvOS on 5.3.3p2. Could you please check whether updating helps?

    Xcode 8.3.3

    Getting the error:
    Apple Mach-O Linker (Id) Error
    Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

    Did anyone know how to fix it? Bitcode is set to NO
    What else should I possibly add/ remove to make it work?

    Hope someone did figure it out. Please help! Thank you!

    @VRoxygen hello ,
    i have just fixed mine after 2 days of struggle , i have tried everything on the forum nothing works , until i found out a thread saying that this was caused by Unity ads plugin , and yeah that was the answer
    i desactivate the integrated unity ads service offered by unity ,delete anything about unity ads on plugin folder , then i downloaded unity ads from the store, installed it , and voila no more of that annoying error
    hope this helps

    Thank you very much! Though for now it didn't seem to work for me... What files did you delete? I didn't see any ads related plugins in my Plugin folder. So I installed Unity ads from the Asset store, but still getting this error. Will try to find out what could possibly go wrong.

    i can"t remember exactly ,look for a folder called UnityAds on your unity project , that's the one to delete
    just make sure to not use the unity ads integrated in unity ,so deactivate unity ads in services , and use unity ads from the store ,
    if this doesn't work too, try to delete all your plugins that you're using and reinstall them ,
    hope it works this time

    Thank you @cstlmode ! I don't have such folder initially and services are deactivated, ads only appear if install them from the asset store. Will try to delete everything, fingers crossed.

    I am seeing this same error on Unity 2018.2.14f1 (latest) and Xcode 10.0 (10A255) (also Latest). I'm not sure what caused this error to start popping up, perhaps it is the latest version of Xcode, but I would really like to be able to build my projects again. Any input would be useful. Here is my Xcode log for anyone who knows how to read it.

    I encountered this issue when trying to build for Simulator. It was fixed with the following option:

    1) Edit -> Project Settings -> Player
    2) Select the iOS tab
    3) Expand Other Settings Menu
    4) Locate "Target SDK" option
    5) Select Simulator SDK

    Hope this helps!
