Bitcode Compile During Archive Never Finishes

Question

I am preparing an app for ad hoc distribution via Test Flight. I have stepped through (successfully) all of the preparatory steps in this Ray Wenderlich article already (https:

Answer 1

You can disconnect your wifi wait a few minutes to reconnect again, and then it is ok

Answer 2

I am facing the same problem. What my suggestion is just enable this check mark when export for iOS App Store Deployment. If you are exporting an adhoc build then do uncheck it. It will work fast.

Answer 3

One more option is, You have to keep eye on which source code you have is taking small time and get archive process done quickly. So from next time you will have to open this particular source code and perform archive, after that open your working source code and then try archive for that. You will get that done fast for working code as well.

For me, I have kept 2 source code separately.

• One for Xcode 7
• Other for Xcode 8

So whenever I want to create ipa, I open this source code first and make archive then I close this code and perform archive for code I am currently working. This is bit lengthy process but surly it don't take that much of time as well as your system don't get hang.

Answer 4

I let this run for a long time (basically while I went out shopping). When I came back it was done. So for whatever reason this just takes a really long time to do.

That said, it was also the incorrect action. The way you add testers to TestFlight since Apple bought it is different. Now, instead of exporting and uploading an IPA file, you have to submit it to the store and let it be reviewed by Apple before you can add testers.

Answer 5

I have better solution for this problem. Don't go for export option tomato iPA, try out as mentioned below:

1. just right click your Archive and select show in finder
2. Then again right click on resulted file in finder and select show package content

3. then from result open product folder --> Application folder --> and select ".app" file

4. Then simply add this .app file under apps of iTunes software on mac

5. After completing adding process right click on app icon in iTunes and show in finder which will give you iPA file.

It would take only 5 minutes max.
