If your project was built using Cordova 2.x and Xcode 4.x, and you are receiving the error mentioned by the OP, this solution worked for me. (I was experiencing the error with Cordova 2.5 and Xcode 5).

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3768

Go to your Cordova Project

Root Folder -> CordovaLib -> Right Click CordovaLib.xcodeproj -> Show Package Contents -> Open project.pbxproj

Replace all occurrences of (I had 4)

buildSettings = {
    ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS = NO;//in 2 out of 4 occurrences
    "ARCHS[sdk=iphoneos*]" = armv7;
    "ARCHS[sdk=iphoneos6.*]" = (
        armv7,
        armv7s,
    );
        /* other settings here */
};

With this

buildSettings = {
    ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS = NO;//in 2 out of 4 occurrences
    "ARCHS[sdk=iphoneos*]" = armv7;
    "ARCHS[sdk=iphoneos7.*]" = (
        armv7,
        armv7s,
    );
    "ARCHS[sdk=iphoneos6.*]" = (
        armv7,
        armv7s,
    );
    /* other settings here */
};

Now your project will build fine!
