Framework contains simulator architectures

iOS / Xcode · last reviewed 2026-11-10

The error looks like this

ITMS-90087: Unsupported Architectures. The executable for Acme.app/Frameworks/Charts.framework contains unsupported architectures '[x86_64]'.

Why it happens

A fat .framework still has x86_64/i386 simulator slices.

How to fix it

Switch to the .xcframework build of that SDK.
Or strip slices before export: lipo -remove x86_64 -output <bin> <bin>.
Check with: releasemedic ipa YourApp.ipa

Not sure this is your error? Let ReleaseMedic read the whole log

Build logs are long and the last line is rarely the real cause. ReleaseMedic finds the first real error, explains it and gives the steps — free, and the log never leaves your computer.

$ npx releasemedic log build.log

Or pipe a build straight in: cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease 2>&1 | npx releasemedic log -

Catch it before you build

Most release errors come from project settings you can check in seconds — signing, SDK levels, privacy manifests, permissions, push and login setup.
