Xcode 8.3 Archive error: Linker command failed with exit code 1

Question

I started getting this error only after upgrading from Xcode 8.2 to Xcode 8.3, and only when making an archive build (debug builds work fine).

When I do the archive via Xcode, the only message I get is "Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation).

I build with the command line xcodebuild -scheme MyProduct

When I built this way, I found a number of issues (again, only when doing Archive):

• I had to add import UIKit to practically every swift file.
• all the pods had issues
• remove everything from app-Bridging-Header.h
• add a few things back into app-Bridging-Header.h

My current issue is with the AWS pod, using version 2.5.3

So my app-Bridging-Header.h has #import <AWSS3/AWSS3.h>

Here is the error from the command line build:

error: 'AWSS3/AWSS3.h' file not found with <angled> include; use "quotes" instead
#import <AWSS3/AWSS3.h>
        ^

The error log continues after that. I also tried the crazy suggestion of switch in the import to "AWSS3/AWSS3.h"...that didn't work either.

What is going on?

More INFO

This really appears to be an issue with one of my pods. I built a new solution, imported a subset of my pods and everything built. Then when I updated with the full list of pods it broke.

Answer 1

For me it is coming due to Bitcode enable in my project and i have used a custom framework with disabled bitcode.

Two things you can do :

1. Either disable bitcode in your project

   OR

2. Build framework with bitcode enable

NOTE: If you click on error and it doesn't show anything then right click on error and select Reveal in Log. You will get error for this issue
