xcode - invalid bitcode

Question

I'm getting this error

error: Invalid bitcode signature

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

I am using cocoapods and I have verified that all enable bitcodes match, I've tried all options Yes, No and ${inherited} for the enable bitcode field.

Not sure how to debug this further, how to I use the -v option / will that even give me more information.

Some back ground, I'm merging two code bases together iPhone and iPad so that it's a universal app.

Answer 1

In my project I fixed this by setting all "Bitcode enabled" options to "No". That includes all targets and all projects in the workspace (main project, Cocoa Pod project).

Answer 2

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

Note: If you are building for the target phone 9 or 10 the following solution solves the issue

Solution

1. Open Podfile
2. Uncomment this line ~> platform :ios, '9.0'
3. From the command line run the following command where Podfile resides
4. pod update
5. In the xcode select Product > clean and then Product > Build

Hope this solves the problem

Answer 3

This trick worked for me:

Select project file -> Select target -> General -> Linked Frameworks and Libraries -> Delete libPods.a
