WebRTC' does not contain bitcode You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE)

Question

My app works on the simulator when I run: npx react-native run-ios

However when I try to get the ipa file by 'Archive'-ing it via the .xcworkspace I get the following error regarding WebRTC and bitcode.

How to fix this issue?

ld: '/Users/bliss/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/DanceConnectyCube-czcpkmpwkpsbethjfvbfindeabwg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/DanceConnectyCube/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/XCFrameworkIntermediates/react-native-webrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. file '/Users/bliss/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/DanceConnectyCube-czcpkmpwkpsbethjfvbfindeabwg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/DanceConnectyCube/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/XCFrameworkIntermediates/react-native-webrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC' for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Answer 1

you need to remove bitcode in your ios project setting in xcode target->build settings-> enable bitcode or use a custom webrtc build that enable it at compile time (huge build). I made one here

edit: a build with bitcode and swiftmodule support This Repo also have sh script that explain the procedure.

Answer 2

For those came here with the same error:

If you are trying to debug your app in your iPhone you have to select bitcode=no in order to work.
