I've been stuck with this error when tried to archive ad-hoc ipa with specific scheme. We are using our own library and just changed the app and library to bitcode enabled with Xcode 12.0.1

I also had this issue, but wasn't using my own library. My workaround was to turn off Bitcode in in Targets > Build Settings > Enable Bitcode. I'd like to know why it doesn't work for when Bitcode is enabled though.

We observe this same error when exporting ad hoc or development builds in Xcode 12 with bitcode recompilation enabled. We suspected an issue with a third party framework, so we created a version of our project without any external dependencies (the only frameworks we import are Apple's own e.g., StoreKit, CoreImage...). The problem persisted.

There are no problems using Xcode 11 - we can export the archive with bitcode recompilation and App Store processing works fine. Of course, we can't use any iOS 14 APIs with Xcode 11.

Our only option appears to be to disable bitcode in our project if we want to use Xcode 12. Given that we see failure when using only Apple frameworks, we believe that this as a bug that Apple needs to fix.

We solved the problem by following advice from https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/662947

There appears to be a bug in Xcode 12 where enabling code coverage support causes bitcode recompilation failure. We don't need the code coverage support anyway.

1) In Build Settings 'Apple Clang - Code Generation' set 'Enable Code Coverage Support' to NO in the project.
2) In Build Settings ensure that '-fprofile-instr-generate' is not set in 'Other Linker Flags'.

With those steps complete, archiving and exporting with bitcode recompilation worked under Xcode 12.

Few workarounds u can try in build settings:

BITCODEGENERATIONMODE = bitcode;
OTHERCFLAGS = "-fembed-bitcode";
OTHERCPLUSPLUSFLAGS = "$(OTHERCFLAGS)";
SKIPINSTALL = YES;
GCCENABLEBUILTINFUNCTIONS = NO;
GCCNOCOMMONBLOCKS = NO;
GCCOPTIMIZATIONLEVEL = 3;

And don't forget to set 'Enable Code Coverage Support' to NO

Turn off Bitcode in Targets > Build Settings > Enable Bitcode.

This solution work for me. My Xcode version Version 11.4.1 (11E503a)
