# Configuring Project for Architecture Compatibility

> Configure your Xcode project for arm64 architecture compatibility with MoEngage iOS SDK v10.x.x.

## Overview

<Note>
  **Note**

  The changes mentioned in this article are also applied to the CI/CD environment.
</Note>

Beginning with MoEngage iOS SDK v10.x.x, support for the `x86_64` and `x86` architectures are discontinued. The SDK only supports the `arm64` architecture.

Attempting to build a project for a simulator that runs on x86\_64 architecture used by the [Rosetta](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/about-the-rosetta-translation-environment) simulator, or a simulator running on an Intel-based Mac (x86\_64), may result in linker errors. This article outlines the procedures for configuring an Xcode project to resolve these errors.

## Identify Host Machine Architecture

To determine the correct configuration procedure, identify the development machine's architecture by executing the following command in the terminal:

<CodeGroup>
  ```shellscript Shell theme={null}
  uname -m
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The command returns one of the following outputs:

* **`arm64`**: An Apple silicon Mac.
* **`x86_64`**: An Intel-based Mac.

## Configuration Procedures

### For Apple silicon Macs (`arm64`)

On Apple silicon Macs, linker errors occur if the build targets a [Rosetta](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/about-the-rosetta-translation-environment) simulator, which runs on the `x86_64` architecture. To prevent this, configure the build to run only on the native simulator (`arm64` architecture) as shown below:

1. In Xcode,  select your project in the **Project Navigator**, and perform the steps below for all your targets (including Pods targets).
2. Navigate to the **Build Settings** tab.
3. Apply the following configurations for the `Debug` build:
   * **`Excluded Architectures (EXCLUDED_ARCHS)`**
     * Ensure this setting does not contain `arm64` for simulator builds.
   * **`Build Active Architecture Only (ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH)`**
     * Set this value to **Yes**. This setting directs Xcode to build only for the architecture of the currently selected simulator.
   * **Architectures** set to ARCHS\_STANDARD or include arm64.

### For Intel-based Macs (`x86_64`)

On Intel-based Macs, the iOS Simulator runs on the `x86_64` architecture. As MoEngage SDK v10.x.x and later do not support this architecture, projects cannot run on the simulator. To build and test the application, use a physical iOS device.
