Uservoice still not supporting bitcode ...

[nomadplanet]

I could not build my app with bitcode enabled with the UV sdk 3.2.5

The error is

ld: bitcode bundle could not be generated because '[path]/libs/UserVoiceSDK-3.2.5/libUserVoice.a(UserVoice.o)' was built without full bitcode. All object files and libraries for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I think this is just an issue with how the static library was built. I just updated the tarball for 3.2.7 to a version built with -fembed-bitcode set. Can you see if that solves your problem?

Unfortunately I still get the error :(

ld: bitcode bundle could not be generated because '/libs/UserVoiceSDK-3.2.7/libUserVoice.a(UserVoice.o)' was built without full bitcode. All object files and libraries for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Not sure if that's related to the same issue but since 3.2.5 I get a bunch of warnings when linking (bitcode disabled) :

For other people who need help with this, this is how I went around this. Download the source code (git clone git@github.com:uservoice/uservoice-ios-sdk.git), modify the build.sh file with the below patches, run ./build.sh and use the generated zip file under dist/. The file libUserVoice.a would be double in size (roughly) and include bitcode.

-xcodebuild
+xcodebuild OTHER_CFLAGS="-fembed-bitcode"

-xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator
+xcodebuild OTHER_CFLAGS="-fembed-bitcode" -sdk iphonesimulator

9 months later, it's version 3.2.9 and you're still not providing binary releases with full bitcode support. How long will you take to change a flag ?

ld: bitcode bundle could not be generated because '[....]/UserVoiceSDK-3.2.9/libUserVoice.a(UserVoice.o)' was built without full bitcode. All object files and libraries for bitcode must be generated from Xcode Archive or Install build for architecture arm64

When will the iOS library include bitcode support? If yuvalt hadn't posted the solution, I would not be using UserVoice any longer.

Let me look into seeing what's required to get Bitcode fully supported in the UserVoice SDK. I'll report back on this thread when I have a pull request in.
