I was getting the same issue after upgraded to Xcode 16 and iOS 18.

You can solve this issue by following this.

1. Open Podfile

2. Search for word post_install

3. If post_install not found then just directly paste the below code just before the last end keyword

    post_install do |installer|
   
    bitcode_strip_path = `xcrun --find bitcode_strip`.chop!
      def strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
        framework_path = File.join(Dir.pwd, framework_relative_path)
        command = "#{bitcode_strip_path} #{framework_path} -r -o #{framework_path}"
        puts "Stripping bitcode: #{command}"
        system(command)
      end
   
      framework_paths = [
        "Pods/LogRocket/LogRocket.xcframework/ios-arm64/LogRocket.framework/LogRocket",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/hermes",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/Versions/Current/hermes",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64/hermes.framework/hermes",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst/hermes.framework/hermes"
      ]
   
      framework_paths.each do |framework_relative_path|
        strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
      end
   

4. In case you have already post_install has been used then copy and past the below script inside that.

      bitcode_strip_path = `xcrun --find bitcode_strip`.chop!
      def strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
        framework_path = File.join(Dir.pwd, framework_relative_path)
        command = "#{bitcode_strip_path} #{framework_path} -r -o #{framework_path}"
        puts "Stripping bitcode: #{command}"
        system(command)
      end
   
      framework_paths = [
        "Pods/LogRocket/LogRocket.xcframework/ios-arm64/LogRocket.framework/LogRocket",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/hermes",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/Versions/Current/hermes",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64/hermes.framework/hermes",
        "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst/hermes.framework/hermes"
      ]
   
      framework_paths.each do |framework_relative_path|
        strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
      end
   

5. Do pod install

6. Do archive again and try upload
