Latest Xcode beta requires libraries to have bitcode enabled

Question

By default, the latest Xcode 7 Beta 4 requires all pre-compiled libraries to have bitcode enabled.

This can be disabled, though it seems this may at some point be a requirement that Apple imposes.  See the following linker error:

 

ld: '/Users/me/Wwise/Wwise_v2014.1.5_build_5282/SDK/iOS/Debug-iphoneos/lib/libAkAACDecoder.a(AkSrcBankAAC.o)' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. for architecture armv7

 

Any plans to produce the Wwise libraries with bitcode enabled?

Hello Tim,

Since 2015.1.3, full Bitcode is now included for iOS and tvOS libraries. We also support Xcode 7.1.
