iOS Framework on device bitcode not included - ios

I am developing static library for iOS, in which I am using Alamofire. When I try to build for release for simulator, everything is ok, however when I try to build it for device (release or debug) I get following problem:
ld: bitcode bundle could not be generated because '/PathToMyLibraryProducts/Release-iphoneos/Alamofire/Alamofire.framework/Alamofire' was built without full bitcode. All frameworks and dylibs for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build for architecture armv7
My framework has enabled bitcode, and it is fat framework (build for device and simulator). How can I resolve that?

If you are using cocoapods-binary with cocoapods
This error will appear since cocoapods-binary won't generate frameworks with bitcode enabled unless you specifically indicate that by using this key in your Podfile:
enable_bitcode_for_prebuilt_frameworks
This is how your Podfile will look:
plugin 'cocoapods-binary'
platform :ios, '12.0'
use_frameworks!
enable_bitcode_for_prebuilt_frameworks!
all_binary!
target 'ProjectName' do
pod 'Alamofire'
end

Found this discussion which may be relevant
In summary the following setting is needed:
BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode for Release builds and BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=marker for Debug builds
Hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Mukund

I think, bitcode is not enabled while you are building for Generic Device. So do the following:
Under pods.xcodeproj, select all pods target.
Navigate under Build Settings and make sure that all your
"Pods" > "Build Settings" > "Build Active Architecture Only" is set
to "NO".
Enable Bitcode set to YES
Then, tap on project target, and follow the Step 2 and 3
Clean the build and make Archive

Add this code in your pod file, It will enable Bitcode for all the framework.
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'YES'
end
end
end

Excluding arm64 architecture leads to 'No such module: AWSAppSync'

I am currently working on a Swift 5.0 project (Xcode 12). I currently use an M! computer. For my project, I have a couple of pod dependencies that I need (AWS, Google, etc) to make my project work. When I run my code on a IOS device, I encounter no issues. But when I try to run the project on a simulator, I run into different errors involving the pod linking.
The Google places autocomplete FAQ says that if I have troubles building on an iOS simulator using Xcode 12, I should exclude the arm64 architecture for iOS simulators by altering the project build settings. But upon doing that, I get a warning of "No such module found: AWSAppSync".
In attempting to fix this, I've added 'x86_64' and 'x86' to architectures, set "Build Active Architecture Only" to "yes", and made sure my pod's build settings have the same "Build Active Architecture Only" value, which results in no change. I have also tried pod update, install, install --repo-update, cleaning the build folder, deleting derived data, and restarting Xcode.
When I set "Build Active Architecture Only" to "No" for both sets of build settings (pod and project), I get another error from a different non-AWS pod:
"Could not find module 'MultiSlider' for target 'x86_64-apple-ios-simulator'; found: arm64, arm64-apple-ios-simulator"
Removing any code references to the multi slider then lets the app fully build, but the app crashes before launching on the simulator with an error of "unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x60000067fd90".
Note that with any of these attempted fixes, the app continues to run on an actual iOS device as expected. I'm very new to pods and would really appreciate any help or insight anyone could offer! Thank you in advance.
I had to exclude the arm64 architecture for each of the pods when building for the simulator. See https://narlei.com/development/apple-m1-xcode-error-when-build-in-simulator/ for more details, but it seems that excluding arm64 from the project AND excluding it in the Podfile for each pod's target is necessary.
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'
config.build_settings['ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH'] = 'YES'
config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64"
end

iOS - watchOS App publishing issue CFBundleIdentifier collision

After the app uploading I receive the following email
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app,
XXX. Please correct the following issues, then upload again.
ITMS-90806: CFBundleIdentifier collision - Each bundle must have a
unique bundle identifier. The bundle identifier
'org.cocoapods.CocoaLumberjack' is used in the bundles
'[CocoaLumberjack.framework, CocoaLumberjack.framework]'
CocoaLumberjack is a third party library that I've already used in the past a lot of times without any problem, I am pretty confused.
It is not related to the framework's .plist keyword CFBundlePackageType
as it is specified in this question/answer Framework CFBundleIdentifier Collision. The CocoaLumberjack bundle package type is "Framework" (CFBundlePackageType = FMWK). CocoaLumberjack is a wide used third party library added to my project using cocoapods.
The issue is probably related to the watchOS target in my app bundle.
The CocoaLumberjack library is used in both iOS app and watchOS app and it is causing the issue about the bundle identifier duplication.
CFBundleIdentifier collision is detected by Apple Connect server if sharing framework between iOS target and Watch Extension.
target 'App' do
platform :ios, '9.0'
# Pods for App
...
pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Swift', '~> 3.5.3'
...
end
target 'AppWatch Extension' do
platform :watchos, '5.0'
# Pods for Watch Extension
...
pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Swift', '~> 3.5.3'
...
end
The iOS app is using the library and the watchOS extension is using the same library. They are using different libraries but CocoaLumberjack is the only one present in both.
I have already published my app a lot of times in the past without any issues with the same libraries configuration. I guess that the Apple has changed some constraints about bundle identifier in the last few days.
The same issue is present also using Carthage.
As a temporary workaround I have manually renamed the bundle identifier in the watchOS extension then the app publishing is working fine but it does not look like a nice solution, especially if you are running the build on a CI system.
A better option is to add a specific post install operation in pod file:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
if target.name == 'CocoaLumberjack-watchOS'
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER'] = 'org.cocoapods.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}-$(PLATFORM_NAME)'
end
end
end
end
or if you have to handle multiple libraries:
post_install do |installer|
watchosLibs = ['Lib1-watchOS', 'Lib2-watchOS', 'Lib3-watchOS']
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
if watchosLibs.include? target.name
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER'] = "org.cocoapods.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}.${PLATFORM_NAME}"
end
end
end
end
Pay attention to rename pods bundle identifier because some libraries don't behave correctly otherwise.
I suggest to rename only the libraries rejected by Apple in order to minimize the possible issues.
Currently there are some different open threads about this issue:
On Apple forum (currently no more available)
On Cocoapods github project
A similar issue is present also using Carthage instead of Cocoapods
On Carthage github project
If Apple will not change this new policy about bundle identifier then a more clean solution will probably come from cocoapods team.
Apparently Apple changed the validation process. It looks like they don't allow to platform specific frameworks within an app to have the same identifier.
There's a post on the forum about this as well: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/122048
If you're running into this issue because you're using Cocoapods you could patch your Podfile to append the Platform Name to the bundle identifier so that they'll be always unique (source):
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER'] = 'org.cocoapods.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}-$(PLATFORM_NAME)'
end
end
end
If you have multiple targets in your app you can change the watchOS targets in your scheme in XCode and append .watchos to the identifier as well.
You don't need to change every target, its cleaner to write something like this:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
if target.platform_name == :watchos
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER'] = 'org.cocoapods.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}-$(PLATFORM_NAME)'
end
end
end
end
Here is how I've worked around the problem for Carthage.
1) create a Carthage build script that separates out the different Carthage build phases
2) when you do the actual framework builds; first build the problem frameworks for iOS (I only had one), then modify your project files to change the bundle identifier, then build those frameworks for watchOS, then build the rest of your frameworks
carthage bootstrap --no-checkout
carthage checkout
#undo previous CFBundleIdentifier changes
sed -i '' 's/com.someco.MyFramework.watchOS;/com.someco.MyFramework;/g' Carthage/Checkouts/MyFramework/MyFramework.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
carthage build --cache-builds --platform iOS
#set a unique CFBundleIdentifier
sed -i '' 's/com.someco.MyFramework;/com.someco.MyFramework.watchOS;/g' Carthage/Checkouts/MyFramework/MyFramework.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
carthage build --no-use-binaries --platform watchOS --configuration $CONF $VERBOSE MyFramework
One option is - you can add ".watchos"(abc.asd.alomofire.watchos) to the watch bundle identifier manually.
Just remove the embed frameworks build phase from your extension.
Click on extension in target section -> Build phases -> remove the embed pods frameworks

Swift "Invalid Mach-O Format" Error [duplicate]

I just got this error when submitting an app to the app store.
Does this mean I need to set ENABLE_BITCODE for all dependencies? I tried that but then got errors saying the dependencies were not compatible with bitcode (or something like that)...
I had the same problem earlier this morning. In fact the answer is in the error : "Verify that all of the targets for a platform have a consistent value for the ENABLE_BITCODE build settings"
I had a target (with ENABLE_BITCODE set to NO), using multiple pods having ENABLE_BITCODE set to YES. So, all I had to, do is set ENABLE_BITCODE to YES in my project target. But I guess you have a choice, you can also set ENABLE_BITCODE to NO in all the libs your are using.
The easiest and most common fix:
You can uncheck "Include Bitcode" when submitting the app via Xcode.
If you use xcodebuild, you can use pass an exportOptionsPlist with the value of uploadBitcode set to false. In my case, we're using xctool to build the app and don't have the ability to pass an exportOptionsPlist, so we had to remove bitcode from all of our frameworks.
If anyone is using cocoapods and wants to disable bitcode for their frameworks, you can just add the following to your podfile:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
end
end
end

To add a little more clarification as to what's going on with this issue:
It seems that apple just started enforcing this yesterday. If your main binary has bitcode disabled, but you include a static library or framework that has bitcode enabled, it will fail validation. It goes the other way too: if your main binary has bitcode enabled, but you include a library/framework that has bitcode disabled, it will fail validation.
I had a few dependencies from GoogleMaps and Amazon that made it non trivial to switch everything to enable bitcode, so I simply disabled it and removed bitcode from one static library I had imported in my project. You can strip bitcode from any binary by using this following command
$ xcrun bitcode_strip -r {Framework}.dylib -o tmp.dylib
$ mv tmp.dylib {Framework}.dylib
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/RN-Xcode-Archive/Chapters/xc7_release_notes.html
While the above are solutions to the problem, I don't agree that if the main binary has bitcode disabled that all of the included binaries should need it as well. Bitcode is just some IR code that Apple can use for app thinning--why don't they just strip it from other binaries (which I assume is what they previously did)? This doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

I just unchecked "include bitcode" and it started to upload
For Carthage
Open your libraries in your project folder (Carthage->Checkouts->[lib name])
Then open each lib in Xcode
Set Enable Bitcode - No in build settings
Do it for each lib in your list
Build carthage carthage build --platform xxx
Then you can archive and submit to the Appstore successfully
We were getting same error "Xcode - Error ITMS-90635 - Invalid Mach-O in bundle - submitting to App store" from last friday (3-june-2016) .. used the below mentioned 2 steps to get this done
Step 1:
Added code to pod file to mark 'ENABLE_BITCODE' = 'NO' in pods
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
end
end
end
Step 2:
Marked 'ENABLE_BITCODE' = 'NO' in pods for the project
Note: Tried with marking 'ENABLE_BITCODE' = 'YES' in pods and in my project too but as we are using twillio framework for calling which has a flag -read_only_relocs which does not allow compilation with 'ENABLE_BITCODE' = 'YES'. So if your app does not use any of such framework with -read_only_relocs then you can proceed with making 'ENABLE_BITCODE' = 'YES' as it will be good for your app.
For those who are having build error after setting "Enable BitCode" to Yes.
I have to update all the library.But,the easiest part is I use Cocoapods.So,please update all your pod project : (One by one) or All
Then set Enable BitCode to "No" before you archive.
Then Archive>>Upload>>It will pass this error.
Cheers.
I had the same issue with project "ENABLE_BITCODE = YES" and dependencies "ENABLE_BITCODE = YES" on my CI with Xcode 7.3.
Solution was updating Xcode to latest available version (7.3.1)

Declare Architecture in Podfile

Is there a way to include the architecture in a CocoaPods Podfile? I am trying to build my app for both 32 and 64 bit but when I switch to Standard architectures (including 64-bit) in my project's build settings, it complains that I should let it automatically choose architectures. Doing this reverts my project back to Standard architectures. I have a feeling that Xcode is doing this because the Pods project (in my Xcworkspace) does not include 64-bit in its architectures. Is there a way to add this to the Podfile(I assume better if Pod does it itself) or should I change it in the Pods project as well.
My current Podfile:
xcodeproj 'Nobles/Nobles.xcodeproj'
platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'Reachability'
pod 'TWTSideMenuViewController'
I'm searching for answers to a similar issue and found this:
Resolving CocoaPods build error due to targets building for only active architecture
I always have a build error after pod install, because by default, CocoaPods will configure your pods to build for active architecture only (during debugging).
The solution is to change Pods project setting Build Active Architecture Only to NO for debug.
But it is tedious to change every time after you run pod install (as your change will get reverted back to YES).
As suggested by msmollin in CocoaPods issues, you can fix by with:
# Append to your Podfile
post_install do |installer_representation|
installer_representation.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH'] = 'NO'
end
end
end
Maybe this can help you?
CocoaPods can't do what you want. It can give you different versions of the library, but it doesn't know anything about how that library was built.
Run xcrun -sdk iphoneos lipo -info libYourLibraryName.a to see which architectures it was built for.
If this is an open-source library, you can build it yourself, instead of just linking the .a file. If you don't have access to the library source, and the .a file doesn't include the 64 bit slice, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Contact the developer and ask them to build the library with the 64 bit support.
