After a lot of digging, here’s what I’ve discovered -

in xcode 4.6 build settings change “Dont create position independent executables” from NO to Yes, thats it. after so much trouble…

Thanks, this was driving me crazy.

This doesn't work... All this does is remove the warning because you're literally telling it to not even try to make a Position Independent Build. Apple will send you a defect about this after submission. They will not reject your app for this (as far as I know) but they suggest you update this in farther deliveries because it poses security risks. All this solution does is remove the warning in XCode. In both cases, you receive an email from apple recommending you to fix it.

From my experience, Apple will not send you an email recommending you fix it. I've submitted 3 Apps with this 'fix' and all have been approved without Apple saying or doing anything. Not really sure what the correct solution is though.

There is an official Q&A page for this in apple : Q&A PIE
I am having the same issue, i have checked all fields and all are as Q&A says, the good news is that apple is not rejecting the app because of that. It´s only a warning.
