How do I xcodebuild a static library with Bitcode enabled?

Question

Xcode 7 introduces Bitcode, which is some sort of LLVM intermediate binary that means Apple\'s servers can recompile my app for different architectures without my involvemen

Answer 1

With Xcode 8, I couldn't get OTHER_CFLAGS="-fembed-bitcode" to work. I kept running into something along the lines of was built without full bitcode. All frameworks and dylibs for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build when I tried to create an Archive build of an app containing my static framework.

What I was really looking for was this:

BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode

I'm actually using a Run Script inside of an aggregate target, the full xcodebuild line looks like this (just for reference):

xcodebuild BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode OTHER_CFLAGS="-fembed-bitcode" -target "${PROJECT_NAME}" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -sdk iphoneos BUILD_DIR="${BUILD_DIR}" BUILD_ROOT="${BUILD_ROOT}" clean build
