XCode/PhoneGap - Apple Mach-O Linker Error - objective-c

Question

I just finished programming my application. I tried to archive the App for submission, but it didn't work, the following error was displayed. This problem only happens when I want to archive the app, running on Test device or Simulator works perfect (no errors).

I already googled the ** out of this the past days. I tried everything I found. I set Build Active Architecture Only to "YES", deleted search paths (they were already empty), changed iOS Version, set Validate Build Product and other stuff.
I create my projects using terminal and ./create.
I even made a new clean project and posted my source code in there. The problem occures every time (even if I try to archive the new project without changing anything in source)
Using:
XCode 4.6.3
PhoneGap 2.9.0
I am desperate and hope for help. Thank you.

Answer 1

SOLUTION
I found a solution/work-around. (Couldn't post it because if 10Rep. limit, had to wait 8 hours)
In Target's Build Settings, find "Other Linker Flags"
Change $(TARGET_BUILD_DIR)/libCordova.a
To $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/libCordova.a
Or just go to the Cordova site and download Cordova 3.0.0
(although the old known "splashscreen - white flash" is back)
With Cordova 3.0 this problem is fixed :)
Archiving works fine.

Answer 2

I am having the same issue... Works fine on simulator and test device, set Build Active Architecture to "YES" on both Cardova and MyApp projects, created using terminal ./create, rebuild the project from scratch.
Using: XCode 4.6.3 PhoneGap 2.9.0
Update:
Rebuilt my project with PhoneGap 3.0.0 and am now able to archive.

Answer 3

For me this was solved by setting "Build Active Architecture Only" to "Yes" for the "Release" setting in your Build Settings in xcode.
The fix described by FlyingLemon had already been done as I have the latest version of PhoneGap.
Phonegap version 3.4.0-0.19.13
Xcode version 5.1
