Serious issue with Dotnet MAUI iOS -- > Bitcode is deprecated when publishing app to appstore #10989

Description

ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable '.app/Frameworks/FBLPromises.framework/FBLPromises' contains bitcode.
Thread : https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/707443

Steps to Reproduce

This occurs when releasing dotnet maui project to stores. It passes on transporter then later we will get a mail from app store with this error : ITMS-90482: Invalid Executable - The executable 'NotesSolution.app/Frameworks/FBLPromises.framework/FBLPromises' contains bitcode.
I think maui has bitcode enabled even though it need not to be used.

@samirgcofficial What is FBLPromises?

Having the same issue. Any way to disable bitcode on release build?

samirgcofficial · 2022-11-01T08:41:32Z

FBLPromises

I have no idea what that is ! I know some how maui has bit code enabled on it's inner core which can't be disabled or removed.

The listed frameworks above come from Google Apis for iOS Components repo.

These frameworks were built by us, using cocoapods and it seems that cocoapods enabled the bitcode by default.

We are going to disable the bitcode and release new versions of the affected frameworks ASAP.

Facing issue when uploaded app to app store, got rejected with below reasons for MAUI App - IOS

Any workaround or solution for this?.

Temporary workaround xamarin/GoogleApisForiOSComponents#578 (comment)

SotoiGhost · 2022-11-02T19:02:28Z

Building frameworks against Xcode 14 solves the issue of bitcode for open-source frameworks but some closed-source frameworks (e.g. Firebase Analytics) it requires an extra step to remove it from them. We are working to provide a workaround for those.

polygonsheep · 2022-11-04T16:27:08Z

This needs to be fixed for .NET 6 as well.

SotoiGhost · 2022-11-04T22:47:17Z

Folks! We had an inconvenience on the way, but finally we now have a workaround to fix the bitcode problem. Meanwhile the new Firebase packages with the fix are being cooked and released, you can use these MSBuild tasks to get rid of that pesky bitcode. Copy the following lines above the </Project> of your .csproj and build again:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <!-- Properties used to strip bitcode from frameworks when using Visual Studio for Mac -->
    <_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterAfterTargets Condition="'$(OS)'=='Unix'">_ExpandNativeReferences</_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterAfterTargets>
    <_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets Condition="'$(OS)'=='Unix'">_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksOnMac</_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets>

    <!-- Properties used to strip bitcode from frameworks when using Visual Studio for Windows -->
    <_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterAfterTargets Condition="'$(OS)'!='Unix'">_ComputeFrameworkFilesToPublish</_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterAfterTargets>
    <_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets Condition="'$(OS)'!='Unix'">_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksOnWindows</_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets>
  </PropertyGroup>
  
  <Target Name="_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterTarget" 
          Condition="'$(_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets)'!='' AND @(_FrameworkNativeReference->Count()) != 0" 
          AfterTargets="$(_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterAfterTargets)" 
          DependsOnTargets="$(_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets)" />

  <Target Name="_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksOnMac"
          Condition="('$(OutputType)'!='Library' OR '$(IsAppExtension)'=='True') AND '$(_SdkIsSimulator)'=='False'">
    
    <!-- Find the bitcode_strip command -->
    <Exec Command="xcrun -find bitcode_strip" ConsoleToMSBuild="true">
      <Output TaskParameter="ConsoleOutput" PropertyName="_BitcodeStripCommand" />
    </Exec>

    <!-- Strip the bitcode from frameworks -->
    <Exec Command="$(_BitcodeStripCommand) %(_FrameworkNativeReference.Identity) -r -o %(_FrameworkNativeReference.Identity)" />
  </Target>

  <Target Name="_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksOnWindows"
          Condition="('$(OutputType)'!='Library' OR '$(IsAppExtension)'=='True') AND '$(_SdkIsSimulator)'=='False' AND '$(IsMacEnabled)'=='true'">

    <!-- Strip the bitcode from frameworks -->
    <Exec SessionId="$(BuildSessionId)"
          Command="&quot;%24(xcrun -find bitcode_strip)&quot; %(_FrameworkNativeReference.Identity) -r -o %(_FrameworkNativeReference.Identity)" />

    <CopyFileFromBuildServer 
      SessionId="$(BuildSessionId)" 
      File="%(_FrameworkNativeReference.Identity)" 
      TargetFile="%(_FrameworkNativeReference.Identity)" />    
  </Target>

These tasks work from Mac and Windows and will get rid of the bitcode of all the [Xc]frameworks referenced within your project. These tasks will modify the original framework saved on your disk, so, after you run these, this is an action that cannot be undone, unless you download the framework again from its source (e.g. delete the .nuget/package/Foo folder and restore the Foo package again).

Hope this helps you!

This workaround works perfect. Many thanks 👍

samirgcofficial · 2022-11-05T17:55:29Z

Is this expected ?

SotoiGhost · 2022-11-05T18:27:49Z

@samirgcofficial Noup, that's my fault. I forgot to skip these executions when there's no framework to strip. 😅

Please, replace the master conditional with this line:

Condition="'$(_StripBitcodeFromFrameworksMasterDependsOnTargets)'!='' AND @(_FrameworkNativeReference->Count()) != 0"

I'll edit the code above.

samirgcofficial · 2022-11-05T18:53:56Z

Finally ! :) Thanks

SotoiGhost · 2022-11-07T16:29:28Z

Folks! New Firebase packages without bitcode are now live in NuGet. You can now update and delete the workaround above if you were using it.

If you find another framework with bitcode that does not belong to us, please, report it to its owner and use the workaround above to unblock yourself meanwhile its fixed.

Let us know if anything happens related to these new frameworks and Apple.

Happy coding!
