XCode 3.2.5 Base SDK missing, can only compile for simulator

I used this answer: Install xCode 3.2.3 w/ iPhone SDK 4, get "Base SDK missing", can't see other SDKs and it doesn't work. I still have "Base SDK Missing" and I can only choose simulators to compile for. I'm ready to device test but there's no iPhone in the Active Executable list.

I just updated to the newest 4.2 and 3.2.5 XCode

Have you made sure to select Latest iOS for both your Xcode project and your build targets? – BoltClock♦
I shut down in frustration, came back just now, and the option was there. Maybe I just needed a restart? – Justin
This just happened to me too, restarted and still was an issue, read this iphonedevelopertips.com/xcode/… and started to mess around with the settings, after setting the target os 3-4 times it magically worked again. – Luke Mcneice

The base-SDK can be set for the project and for the targets. please check both places.

Here's what I did to fix this problem:

In my project settings (the blue icon at the top of the Groups and Files pane) in the General tab, I set "Base SDK for All Configurations" to "Latest iOS"

In the build tab, I searched for "SDK" and set "Base SDK" to "Latest iOS"

In the settings for my target (The "A" icon under the "Targets" icon in Groups and Files) I searched in the Build tab for "SDK" and set it to "Latest iOS".

Restarted Xcode and it's happy days.

The same as the xcode 3.2.4 but just restart the project. When you change the base sdk the xcode can't refurbish the state.
