Incremental compilation has been disabled: it is not compatible with whole module optimization on Release build configuration

Hey Developers I'm facing some strange situation, I'm getting multiples issues related to optimization on Release build configuration, I'm using Xcode 13.2.1

project is separated in 4 markets and multiples frameworks none of the markets have dependencies from each other, issue only appears when the market RefrreshAtPumpAUS Release is build, on the other side for Debug everything is functional and the app build fine.

here's my Podfile:

in order to add the : def adobe_manager_pods into the framework: CoolMasterUtilsFramework

as the project is in 4 different markets had to added in the different markets like this: 

  target 'RefrreshAtPumpNL' do
     
    # Pods for RefrreshAtPump
    common_pods
    adobe_manager_pods --> here
   
  target 'RefrreshAtPumpUS' do
   
   # Pods for RefrreshAtPump
   common_pods
   firebase_pods
   adobe_campaign_pods
   adobe_manager_pods. --> here
   
  target 'RefrreshAtPumpUK' do
   
    
   # Pods for RefrreshAtPump
   common_pods
   adobe_manager_pods --> here

but for the AUS market(RefrreshAtPumpAUS) is quite different already had added similar PODS

  target 'RefrreshAtPumpAUS' do
   
   # Pods for RefrreshAtPump
   common_pods
   firebase_pods
   adobe_experience_pods. ->> here

they have this so, I added the 2 remaining that I needed for that specific market.

  def adobe_experience_pods
   pod 'AEPAudience', '~> 3.0’ ------->> THIS ONE
   pod 'ACPUserProfile', '~> 2.2’ ------->> THIS ONE
   pod 'AEPEdgeIdentity', '~> 1.0'
   pod 'AEPEdgeConsent', '~> 1.0'
   pod 'AEPCore', '~> 3.0'
   pod 'AEPIdentity', '~> 3.0'
   pod 'AEPSignal', '~>3.0'
   pod 'AEPLifecycle', '~>3.0'
   pod 'AEPUserProfile', '~> 3.0'
   pod 'AEPEdge', '~> 1.0'
   pod 'AEPMessaging', '~> 1.0'
   pod 'AEPAssurance', '~> 3.0', :configurations => ['Debug']
  end

so if I run the project in all other markets as RELEASE or DEBUG everything goes well, but only for RELEASE on RefrreshAtPumpAUS

shows errors like this: 

I've tried

adding lines inside the RefrreshAtPumpAUS like this:

1.- post_install do |installer|

2.- Pod update

3.- delete all Derived data

4.- in Build settings -> Apple Clang - Code generation -> Optimization level to None[-O0]

5.- in Build settings -> Build active architecture only -> ALL to YES

6.- in podfile -> delete this line use_frameworks! and adding use_modular_headers! 

7.- in Build settings -> Swift compiler -> Code generation -> Incremental to all

I think the problem is cause by pod. when you upgrade to 13.3, some pod target's option "ENABLE_BITCODE" have been set "YES", so you just need add code to your Podfile, just like this:

post_install do |installer|
   installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
         config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
      end
    end
end

and clean project and delete cache, archive will be success.

Earlier I mentioned that @beruta's solution worked for me but it started failing again. What worked for me is cleaning Xcode project build files.

"About This Mac" -> Storage -> Manage -> Developer

This is also a neat way to clear up some space when you are running out.

That remark isn't an actual error, just a warning. The real error can be found in the nested Compile Swift source files under the top-level section with the same name. Expand the logs for this command and you should see the actual error.

Inspired by ryanavocado.

For me, it was caused by SKPhotoBrowser in my Podfile. After removing it, the error goes away.
