iOS Xcode14 ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable contains bitcode

[October-zhuo]

hi, I built framworks by ios.sh file with branch master(./ios.sh --disable-arm64-mac-catalyst --disable-arm64-simulator --disable-i386 --disable-x86-64 --disable-x86-64-mac-catalyst --enable-lame -l). The 8 frameworks located at prebuild/bundle-apple-framework-ios-lts

It worked well until I updated my Xcode to 14, because bitcode deprecated in Xcode14. So Apple rejected my APP for the follow reason:

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/ffmpegkit.framework/ffmpegkit' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxxFrameworks/libavcodec.framework/libavcodec' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/libavdevice.framework/libavdevice' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/libavfilter.framework/libavfilter' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/libavformat.framework/libavformat' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/libavutil.framework/libavutil' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/libswresample.framework/libswresample' contains bitcode.

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx/Frameworks/libswscale.framework/libswscale' contains bitcode.

I've learned the option -fembed-bitcode made the frameworks contain bitcode. So I removed the -fembed-bitcode in scripts/fuction-ios.sh file line 117, and this line turn out to be echo "-fstrict-aliasing -DIOS ${LTS_BUILD_FLAG}${BUILD_DATE} -isysroot ${SDK_PATH}". But the building failed

Downloading sources: ok

Building armv7 platform targeting iOS SDK 10 and Mac Catalyst 13.0

lame: already built

ffmpeg: failed

See build.log for details

The log detail is:

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
[email protected] mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

I wonder is there any way to build the frameworks not contain bitcode? Or how to solve the ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'xxx' contains bitcode problem?

Thanks for any help.

We don't see this issue with our apps. But added the --no-bitcode option anyway. It will compile libraries without bitcode. main and development branches have it.

I have tried --no-bitcode ./ios.sh --disable-arm64-mac-catalyst --disable-arm64-simulator --disable-i386 --disable-x86-64 --disable-x86-64-mac-catalyst --enable-lame -l -no-bitcode. But I got (*) Unknown option "-no-bitcode". See ./ios.sh --help for available options.

And I fixed it by strip all the libxxx.framework by xcrun bitcode_strip -r libxxx -o libxxx. It worked for me.

Anyway, thank you so much for your answer and your time. 😁

Had the same problem and solved it by running bitcode_strip. Thank you @October-zhuo !
