if link some custom frameworks need do the same actions. – JNYJ Sep 18 '20 at 09:52
Thank you! Was stuck on this for days! Had VALID_ARCHS: empty but didn't realize I had to delete the entry completely. – atkayla Nov 09 '20 at 08:17
In XCode 12.4, I cannot delete either of the entry, only set its value to empty. Getting the error for device build and not the simulator. – pnk6 Apr 20 '21 at 23:06

How I fixed this issue in my case are 2 options:

Updated BUILD SETTINGS > VALID_ARCHS with $(ARCHS_STANDARD)
Completely delete SETTINGS > VALID_ARCHS entry
