ld: can't link with a main executable file '/Users/Name/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Clumsy_Bird-gotvuaeuyvrkzvfqpzsuxpmifimu/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Clumsy Bird.app/Clumsy Bird' for architecture armv7 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I had a mismatch in values between on "Build Active Architecture Only" which was "Yes" for my test app, but "No" for my unit test target. Make sure these values are identical.

I followed steps provided by "Evgeny" above, but my project build only when I unchecked "Allow testing Host Application APIs". Thanks "Evgeny"!

  1. Click your project in Navigator.
  2. Select your test target. Switch to general tab if not there.
  3. Select your application name from Host Application dropdown.
