Bitcode errors with LinkedIn SDK

Question

There are a couple of older questions concerning Bitcode support in LinkedIn's SDK. They seem to concur with LinkedIn's documentation that version 1.0.7 of their SDK supports Bitcode.

However, when I attempt to archive our app (using Xcode 7.3.1, and including that SDK), I get this error during the linking stage:

ld: bitcode bundle could not be generated because '/Users/…redacted…/linkedin-sdk.framework/linkedin-sdk(Pods-dummy.o)' was built without full bitcode. All object files and libraries for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build for architecture arm64

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

Inspecting the framework (per an earlier question) seems to show Bitcode in both arm64 and armv7 slices:

otool -arch arm64 -l linkedin-sdk | grep '__bitcode'
otool -arch armv7 -l linkedin-sdk | grep '__bitcode'

Does anyone else see this result? Is there any way to fix it, other than turning off Bitcode support for the app?

On a tangentially related note, if I do turn off Bitcode, and get a successful build, I get about 10 of these warnings (that look to me like misconfiguration of their CI system):

while processing /Users/…redacted…/linkedin-sdk.framework/linkedin-sdk(LISDKAccessToken.o): warning: /export/home/tester/hudson/data/workspace/MP_TRUNKDEV_POSTCOMMIT/ios-sdk_3939eff14f36b69f3fa38c9db85f0b182a1fc733/build/linkedin-sdk/ModuleCache/22OID7V7UWIA2/Foundation-73OMMCO56G8Z.pcm: No such file or directory

note: Module debugging should be disabled when shipping static libraries.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the only way to fix would be if they rebuild the SDK with Bitcode support enabled correctly. Without them enabling it correctly, the only other work around which, you already found out is disabling Bitcode support in your app.

I know you already tagged this question with 'linkedin' tag but, if they don't reply in time best is to contact them directly: https://developer.linkedin.com/support

Hope that helps.
