I’m not sure what that proves. Yes, NSUInteger is different sizes for different iOS architectures. What I said was that if you could force NSUInteger to be 8 bytes instead of 4 bytes on iOS (using NS_BUILD_32_LIKE_64), then the app would crash on an architecture where system frameworks knew NSUInteger to be 4 bytes. (On Macs that support 32-bit and 64-bit apps, there are two versions of every framework, so this would only be a problem on iOS.)

Can you demonstrate NS_BUILD_32_LIKE_64 making NSUInteger 8 bytes for the iPhone 4s?

You also need to be careful about demonstrating architectural claims on a simulator. It’s an iOS simulator, but it’s an OS X platform, which is why you can’t [legally] lipo together simulator and device dylibs into a single framework, to the annoyance of many 3rd-party framework developers.
