Compile FFMPEG in iOS with bitcode mode

I compiled FFMPEG libs which supports for iOS 7 and 8 but since recent release with iOS 9 there is a new feature has issued which called bitcode mode , as a default setting , this setting has set to NO .

But if i set this as yes , following error will execute ,

libavdevice.a(avfoundation.o)' 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. for architecture arm64

Is there any way to compile FFMPEG which supports FFMpeg in bitcode enabled mode

here is the build script i used

Solution

I got it working using the following CONFIGURE_FLAGS:

CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--enable-cross-compile --disable-debug --disable-programs \
                 --disable-doc --enable-pic \
                 --extra-cflags=-fembed-bitcode --extra-cxxflags=-fembed-bitcode"

If you only need to decode videos, you should add more flags to disable all muxers,encoders. You'll also probably don't need filters. This will save some space. I also disabled the ARCH i386, which is not needed for the iOS simulator.

I use these flags for my project:

CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--enable-cross-compile --disable-debug --disable-programs \
                 --disable-doc --enable-pic \
                 --extra-cflags=-fembed-bitcode --extra-cxxflags=-fembed-bitcode \
