Link error in iOS app

I am getting the following error framework not found -fobjc-arc while compiling an iOS app that previously worked fine. I have no idea what framework it cannot find. Does anyone know where I could track this down? thanks.

Go to Projects--->Targets---->Build Settings--->Other Linker Flags. Click on the value side and make sure there are no extraneous [ -framework ] values. If so, delete them. Notice the pattern of line [-framework], next line has a framework in quotes, next line has [-framework]. Etc. It should never end with a -framework, nor have extras. These linker flags happen after compile and make sure that the binary is linked with necessary frameworks.

It's not a real framework - your command line contains this bit:

-framework -fobjc-arc

Which is wrong - the -framework flag should be followed by a framework name, not by another flag. You need to find out where that extra -framework is coming from. There are several correct -framework flags in that command too - notice that they all have a framework name included: -framework MessageUI -framework QuartzCore -framework UIKit -framework Foundation -framework CoreGraphics
