I have just updated my Xcode to version 5.0.2 And after updating, all my previously running apps (*perfectly running and archiving) are now giving following errors when I try to archive them for testing on my devices (not connected devices).

Tried changing the Architectures, but nothing worked. Any idea how to resolve these issues? They were not there at all in the previous version of Xcode I had.
Remove armv7s from valid architectures section and it will work.
Build Settings --> Architectures --> Valid Architectures
Change the Buid setting ---> Architecture ---> Build Active Architecture only ---> Yes This solved my issue for using old cordova versions in new Xcode 5
I had the same problem and the issue was that I have accidently imported a .m file instead of .h in an implementation file - hope it helps
libCordova.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (armv7s)
Looks like your copy of libCordova framework does not contain a armv7s binary.
You need to change the Architectures in the CordovaLib project, not in your lite_test project. I assume when you said you tried changing the Architectures, you only tried in your project and not the Cordova project (since changing in Cordova worked for me) . Remember that Cordova is a dependent project and is compiled into the binary each time you run.
