The bitcode is disabled by default. "ld"(Apple's Dynamic Linker, which is used by AIR SDK to link libraries to create the final IPA) requires that each and every library that are packaged with the application, should contain bitcode. Even if 10 out of 9 libraries contains bitcode and 1 does not contain it, the "ld" will skip embedding bitcode in the final binary. So the ipa that will be generated will NOT be having any trace of bitcode in it. As of now, our AIR runtime binaries does not contain bitcode embedded in them, so you CAN'T generate an ipa which have bitcode in it. Also for uploading iOS applications on Apple app store, bitcode is NOT required as of now. Refer: App Thinning (iOS, tvOS, watchOS) So the error that you are getting might be due to some other issue. Please share the resources that you are using to package your application so that we can look into the issue further. My email ID: arguptaATadobeDOTcom.
