Hi,

With the new feature of enabling bitcode, arc and visibility, we can see that only dependencies built with Xcode will receive the flags:

d383bb2

But recipes like openssl and others that don't will be built with this, will be compiled without the bitcode, for example.

The result is an error when link:

ld: '/Users/paulo/.conan/data/openssl/1.1.1q/_/_/package/801ae4682e3f478afa7107aea3a8a4cf47aa78a5/lib/libcrypto.a(digest.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
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

One test case.

With my toolchain, the openssl receive the correct params:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang  -I. -Iinclude -fPIC -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS16.0.sdk -fno-common -g -fPIC -mios-version-min=11.0 -arch arm64 -isysroot/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS16.0.sdk -fembed-bitcode-marker -fno-objc-arc -fvisibility=hidden -isysroot/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS16.0.sdk -fembed-bitcode-marker -fno-objc-arc -fvisibility=hidden -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSLDIR="\"/Users/paulo/.conan/data/openssl/1.1.1q/_/_/package/801ae4682e3f478afa7107aea3a8a4cf47aa78a5/res\"" -DENGINESDIR="\"/Users/paulo/.conan/data/openssl/1.1.1q/_/_/package/801ae4682e3f478afa7107aea3a8a4cf47aa78a5/lib/engines-1.1\"" -D_REENTRANT -isysroot/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS16.0.sdk -fembed-bitcode-marker -fno-objc-arc -fvisibility=hidden -MMD -MF apps/app_rand.d.tmp -MT apps/app_rand.o -c -o apps/app_rand.o apps/app_rand.c

The param exists about bitcode: -fembed-bitcode-marker.

When i use conan bitcode configuration:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang  -I. -Iinclude -fPIC -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS16.0.sdk -fno-common -g -fPIC -mios-version-min=11.0 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS16.0.sdk -arch arm64 -g -O0 -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSLDIR="\"/Users/paulo/.conan/data/openssl/1.1.1q/_/_/package/801ae4682e3f478afa7107aea3a8a4cf47aa78a5/res\"" -DENGINESDIR="\"/Users/paulo/.conan/data/openssl/1.1.1q/_/_/package/801ae4682e3f478afa7107aea3a8a4cf47aa78a5/lib/engines-1.1\"" -D_REENTRANT  -MMD -MF apps/app_rand.d.tmp -MT apps/app_rand.o -c -o apps/app_rand.o apps/app_rand.c

The param DON'T exists about bitcode: -fembed-bitcode-marker.

Yes, it is true that tools.apple:enable_bitcode is only applied by CMakeToolchain atm. It should be extended to other build systems, prioritizing Autotools.

But there is a problem with this, some particular packages, like openssl, will not use such integrations, so they would need to explicitly encode it in the recipes. There is no easy way to pass special configuration or flags to the openssl build system, everything needs to be done in-recipe. What is your toolchain? How do you manage to pass it to the openssl build?

One question: Was is it a good idea to provide this conf? I mean it could have been something left to users profiles through tools.build.cflags.
Specifically tools.apple:enable_visibility is non-sense since it's absolutely not specific to apple. Moreover it's usually forced in shared libs, and when it's not forced it means that lib doesn't support visibility hidden in shared lib.
So because proper behavior of these flags can't be guaranteed regardless of shared option value & what underlying build system is doing to export symbols, I think it would have been better handled by advanced users through generic tools.build.cflags.
