iOS app distribution failed with error ITMS-90635 nested bundle contains arm64(machine code) whereas main bundle contains arm64(bitcode)

I have made my own fat framework that I distribute over Cocoapods.

But when I try to upload an app with bitcode enabled using my framework, I am rejected with error ITMS-90635, see:

distribution failed app store

I want my framework to be compatible with bitcode, so I set ENABLE_BITCODE=YES, BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode (also tried with OTHER_CFLAGS="-fembed-bitcode" in addition) when building the framework.

Here is how I build my framework:

[...]

echo "Clean ${TARGET_NAME} for simulator"
xcodebuild -workspace ${WORKSPACE_NAME}.xcworkspace -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=latest' -scheme ${SCHEME} CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO ENABLE_BITCODE=YES BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode clean

echo "Clean ${TARGET_NAME} for generic device"
xcodebuild -workspace ${WORKSPACE_NAME}.xcworkspace -configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -destination generic/platform=iOS -scheme ${SCHEME} CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO ENABLE_BITCODE=YES BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode clean

echo "Build ${WORKSPACE_NAME} for simulator"
xcrun xcodebuild -workspace ${WORKSPACE_NAME}.xcworkspace -scheme ${SCHEME} -configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=latest' -sdk iphonesimulator CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO ENABLE_BITCODE=YES BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode

echo "Build ${WORKSPACE_NAME} for generic device"
xcrun xcodebuild -workspace ${WORKSPACE_NAME}.xcworkspace -scheme ${SCHEME} -configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -destination generic/platform=iOS -sdk iphoneos CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO ENABLE_BITCODE=YES BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode

[...]

lipo -create "${DEVICE_BIN}/${TARGET_NAME}" "${SIMULATOR_BIN}/${TARGET_NAME}" -output  "${UNIVERSAL_PATH}/${TARGET_NAME}.framework/${TARGET_NAME}"

What I really do not understand is that my framework seems to have bitcode enabled, see:

Bitcode seems to be enabled

while validating

Am I doing something wrong when building my framework?

Solution

  • Ok, I finally found what was wrong :)

    Once lipo done, I used to copy/paste

    Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/MyFramework.framework/Modules/MyFramework.swiftmodule/

    into

    Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/MyFramework.framework/Modules/MyFramework.swiftmodule/

    and then I was distributing this final framework:

    Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/MyFramework.framework.

    Do the opposite! Once lipo done, copy/paste MyFramework.swiftmodule/'s Release-iphonesimulator/ into the Release-iphoneos/ one and distribute the .framework in Release-iphoneos/.
