Xcode 7 and ENABLE_BITCODE=YES setting does not work - xcode7

Question

I have followed several threads around the new ENABLE_BITCODE setting in Xcode, have also tried as much as I can (admitted I'm not a xcode pro) but still cannot get the project to compile for use on my test phone?
My app runs fine on the simulator but I cannot deploy it onto my iPhone for testing. On latter one I just installed iOS 9 beta.
Now, here is the error message I receive. It appears the setting does not impact the PARSE.com lib, that is part of my project? How can I get my project to deploy onto my phone? Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Are you sure you've selected Enable Bitcode to NO against build config you're using (eg DEBUG)? You can check it out in project->target->build settings-> search enable bitcode->set NO in DEBUG (good to remember to try to update libs before test release, maybe it'll contain bitcode already). Then Edit Scheme -> Run -> check if you have DEBUG config atm.

Answer 2

Note that for projects using CocoaPods you should set ENABLE_BITCODE = NO on both the project and the Pods container project targets.

Answer 3

I had also faced the same problem in Xcode7. Solution for this:
go to PROJECT
build Settings
select All Tab
type in search Enable Bitcode
Update Flag to No (which will be beneath of your project (second column))

Answer 4

I had similar problem with GoogleAnalytics cocoa pod library, and the library was not compiling for iPhone 6 with iOS 8.
My solution was to turn to NO "Enable Bitcode" flag in target of the application project - not in Pods project.

Answer 5

If your Bitcode is not showing please selec All. When xcode select Basic your Bitcode option is not showing.
When you select All you can see Bitcode. After then set No for ads config

Answer 6

I just set it for my project.
MyProjectTarget -> Build Settings -> Enable Bitcode = NO

Answer 7

As everybody said, the answer is set Enable Bitcode to No in build settings, but I think some of you might be interested in doing this from the command line.
My Xcode project is being generated by Unity and I don't want any manual intervention on the Xcode project settings. Maybe there's a better way or a tool that can edit Build Settings a bit like how PlistBuddy lets you update values in plist files. I don't know any tool that does this for build settings so I'm using sed.
sed: Run replacements based on regular expressions.
How to set Enable Bitcode to No from command line:
Here, my project name is Unity-iPhone so I run the following command from the root of my Xcode project:
sed -i -e 's/ENABLE_BITCODE = YES;/ENABLE_BITCODE = NO;/g' \
Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
-e -- specify sed commands to run
-i -- edit files in-place, running scripts separately for each file
Remove -i if you only want a preview of what it does ;)
Note that all of your build configurations will be changed using this command, the line ENABLE_BITCODE = YES; appeared 6 times in my project.pbxproj.
Now my build steps can be fully automated as fastlane takes care of the rest!

Answer 8

If you don't find enable_bitcode flag. Click "All" tab on the upper toolbar beside the search bar.

Answer 9

try this command in terminal if you arn't able to change BITCODE settings withing the project,
xcodebuild -target "target" -configuration "configuration" ENABLE_BITCODE=NO

Answer 10

If you are using Cocoapods, this will solve the problem:
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
