Let's break down the error message you're seeing:

Now, let's find a solution that will have you deploying to your iPhone in no time. 🏃💨

In this error message, it seems that Xcode is not able to locate the libraries it needs for the linking process. Specifically, it can't find files like libThree20.a, libThree20Core.a, and so on.

There are a few possible reasons for this error:

1. The libraries are missing from your project. 😱

2. The libraries are not included in your project configuration. 🤔

3. The libraries are located in a different directory than Xcode expects. 📂

Here are a few steps you can take to solve this issue:

1. Check if the missing libraries are included in your project. 📚

   • Go to your project navigator (Cmd+1) and find the list of libraries in the "Frameworks" or "Libraries" group.

   • If the libraries are missing, right-click on the group, select "Add Files to [Your Project]", and locate the missing libraries.

   • Make sure the libraries have a checkmark next to your target in the "Add to targets" column.

2. Check if the libraries are correctly included in your project configuration. ⚙️

   • Select your project in the project navigator (top-level item).

   • Go to the "Build Phases" tab.

   • Expand the "Link Binary With Libraries" section.

   • Check if the missing libraries are listed.

   • If they are missing, click on the "+" button and add them to the list.

3. Check if the libraries are located in the correct directory. 📁

   • Open the Finder and navigate to the directory where the missing libraries should be located.

   • If the libraries are not there, you might need to re-download them or update your project dependencies.

Once you've gone through these steps, try building and deploying your project again. 🚀✨
