have been struggling for few days... Basically I have build a compiled released framework and distribute it with cocoaPods. The problem is that then archiving this framework application gets the following error:
ld: bitcode bundle could not be generated because '/.../testingPodsAcrossversions/Pods/Pod/Pod.framework/Pod' was built without full bitcode. All frameworks and dylibs for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build file '/.../testingPodsAcrossversions/Pods/Pod/Pod.framework/Pod' for architecture arm64
I have did these things:
Search for Enable Bitcode setting and set it to YES for Debug and Release modes.
Search for bitcode settings. Add -fembed-bitcode in both Debug and Release modes or you can add -fembed-bitcode-marker in Debug and -fembed-bitcode in Release mode.
Add BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE under User Defined setting , and then add bitcode for both Debug and Release modes or you can add markerin Debug and bitcode in Release mode.
I only need release version, so I did not built an universal framework, just release version... I would genuinely like to solve this issue, because it has been a nightmare for me..
If you're using pods, try adding this to the Podfile (it resolved the same issue for me):
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE'] = 'bitcode'
config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'YES'
end
end
end
Add the following code at the end of the podfile
def enable_bitcode_in(config)
cflags = config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] || ['$(inherited)']
if config.name == 'Release'
cflags << '-fembed-bitcode'
config.build_settings['BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE'] = 'bitcode'
else # 'Debug'
cflags << '-fembed-bitcode-marker'
config.build_settings['BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE'] = 'marker'
end
config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] = cflags
end
def enable_bitcode_for(targets)
targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
enable_bitcode_in(config)
end
end
end
post_install do |installer|
enable_bitcode_for(installer.pods_project.targets)
end
