2022.2.0b4 produced disabled bitcode error on iOS

Unity Engine
1

Just tried to build the project for iOS and got the following error:

Does it mean that i need new Xode14 (where apple deprecates bitcode) for future builds?
Or it just a bug?

Thanks.

Hi, @VentaGames I am getting the same issue on 2022.2.1f1. Did you find the fix of the above issue. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, yes, there are two solutions:

  1. manually disable it in Xcode for both targets, UnityFramework and Unity_iPhone.
    (Xcode->build settings-> search for bitcode and set ‘Yes’ to ‘No’.

  2. Place the following code to the Editor folder (Assets/Editor/)

#if UNITY_IOS
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Build;
using UnityEditor.Build.Reporting;
using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Editor
{
    public class IOSPostProcessing: IPostprocessBuildWithReport
    {
        public int callbackOrder => 0;
     
        public void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildReport report)
        {
            //Fixme: not needed as this IS iOS
            if (report.summary.platform != BuildTarget.iOS)
                return;

            var projectPath = report.summary.outputPath + "/Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj";

            var pbxProject = new PBXProject();
            pbxProject.ReadFromFile(projectPath);

            //Main Target
            var target = pbxProject.GetUnityMainTargetGuid();
            pbxProject.SetBuildProperty(target, "ENABLE_BITCODE", "NO");
         
            //Unity Tests
            target = pbxProject.TargetGuidByName(PBXProject.GetUnityTestTargetName());
            pbxProject.SetBuildProperty(target, "ENABLE_BITCODE", "NO");
         
            //Unity Framework
            target = pbxProject.GetUnityFrameworkTargetGuid();
            pbxProject.SetBuildProperty(target, "ENABLE_BITCODE", "NO");
         
            pbxProject.WriteToFile(projectPath);
        }
    }
}
#endif

The second method works for every new build.
The first solution you have to do is for every export you make.
For me, it works like a charm.
