App Store upload failure – armv6

XCode 4.5 and above won’t support armv6 architecture.

XCode 4.2 – You can create build that supports armv6 architecture, but you have to do the steps mentioned in the following forum.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198676/warning-iphone-apps-should-include-an-armv6-architecture-even-with-build-config

iPhone 5 won’t support armv6 and has new architecture armv7s.

Apple server also has some issue some times https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3822193?start=0&tstart=0
