Help/Support Error compiling tweak: You did not specify a target , and the "" platform does not define a default target.

Rook · February 7, 2015

You should add the following code to the top of your makefiles. Your tweaks will not work without it.
ARCHS = armv7 arm64
TARGET = iphone:clang:8.1
This code will only work if you have ios 8.1 SDK. Don't use ios 7 SDK on ios 8 :thumbsup:

iOS 7 SDK works fine on iOS 8. And tweaks will work without those codes in makefile. You'll just get a problem with PreferenceBundles on 64 bit.

I see... Thanks to your nic template, I don't have that problem

Usually, if theos forces clang on my dylib, the binary is armv7 and my tweaks don't work on my ipad mini 2

Use the 7.1 SDK and make sure everything is in place.
