Question

I am trying to make archive but xcode get stuck at time of compile bitcode. what i have to do? Enable bitcode or disable?

Answer 1

I have a better solution for this problem. Don't go for the export option tomato iPA, try out as mentioned below:

1. Right click your Archive and select "Show" in Finder
2. Then again right click on the resulted file in Finder and select "Show Package Contents"
3. Then from the result open the product folder --> Application folder --> and select the ".app" file
4. Then simply add this .app file under apps of iTunes software on Mac
5. After completing the adding process right click on the app icon in iTunes and show in Finder, which will give you the iPA file.

I was facing the same problem. What my suggestion is just enable this check mark when export for iOS App Store Deployment. If you are exporting an adhoc build then do uncheck it. It will work fast.

Bitcode refers to to the type of code: "LLVM Bitcode" that is sent to iTunes Connect. This allows Apple to use certain calculations to re-optimize apps further (e.g: possibly downsize executable sizes). If Apple needs to alter your executable then they can do this without a new build being uploaded
