Anyone else having trouble with bitcode?

[Sean Dougherty]

We have not been able to get rid of a linking error, complaining that firebase cannot be linked, because it was not compiled with the ENABLE_BITCODE setting:

ld: '.../Pods/Firebase/Firebase.framework/Firebase(Firebase.o)' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. for architecture arm64

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

We have searched high and low, but it looks like no one else is seeing this error, so maybe it's something on OUR project, but nothing looks likely, and with other frameworks where we saw this error, we were able to fix it by updating to a newer version (many libraries seem to be updating to support bitcode).

Are we the only ones?  Known issue?

Thanks!

Hello Sean,

Same problem here, apparently since Xcode 7 update.

I was able to have linkage work again changing Build Settings -> Enable Bitcode to NO.

This doesn't appear as a good solution though, since Apple seems to want to generalize Bitcode.

We must wait for our favorite vendors to deliver bitcode compiled .o (or maybe the sources, just kidding).

Hi all,

Jonny from the Firebase team here. We're working on enabling Bitcode for our builds. Until then, please use the suggestion François provided:

Build Settings -> Enable Bitcode to NO.

This is obviously just a workaround for now, so hang tight until we can ship something with Bitcode.

Any ETA for this one yet?

Bitcode support was introduced in version 2.4 of the Firebase SDK for iOS. We shipped this on September 24, 2015.
