How to check if a framework is BITCODE supported for Xcode7

Question

From Xcode 7 it became one of the common problem that third party frameworks should support Bitcode. We can also disable the BITCODE by setting ENABLE_BITCODE to NO in Build

Answer 1

Set the flag in the Targets:

Bitcode enabled

otool -arch arm64 -l myFramework | grep __LLVM
  segname __LLVM
   segname __LLVM

I ( wrongly ) expected to read the same output against a local iOS app build. That was not the case. The same command produced nothing, despite have ENABLE_BITCODE YES. Only when you selected Archive did the bitcode process start.

This answer helped me:

What's the difference between `-fembed-bitcode` and BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE?
