create a file in the ios folder with name `

handle_bitcode.sh`

use this commnad

touch handle_bitcode.sh

and then run this command

sudo chmod +x handle_bitcode.sh

and paste this script

#!/bin/bash

# Function to check if a binary contains bitcode
check_bitcode() {
  local binary_path=$1
  if otool -l "$binary_path" | grep -q __LLVM; then
    echo "$binary_path contains bitcode."
    echo "$binary_path" >> bitcode_frameworks.txt
  else
    echo "$binary_path does not contain bitcode."
  fi
}

strip_bitcode() {
  local binary_path=$1
  local output_path="${binary_path}_stripped"
  xcrun bitcode_strip "$binary_path" -r -o "$output_path"
  echo "Stripped bitcode from $binary_path and saved to $output_path"

I was getting the same issue after upgraded to Xcode 16 and iOS 18.

You can solve this issue by following this.

  1. Open Podfile

  2. Search for word post_install

  3. If post_install not found then just directly paste the below code just before the last end keyword

     post_install do |installer|

 bitcode_strip_path = `xcrun --find bitcode_strip`.chop!
   def strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
     framework_path = File.join(Dir.pwd, framework_relative_path)
     command = "#{bitcode_strip_path} #{framework_path} -r -o #{framework_path}"
     puts "Stripping bitcode: #{command}"
     system(command)
   end

   framework_paths = [
     "Pods/LogRocket/LogRocket.xcframework/ios-arm64/LogRocket.framework/LogRocket",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/hermes",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/Versions/Current/hermes",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64/hermes.framework/hermes",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst/hermes.framework/hermes"
   ]

   framework_paths.each do |framework_relative_path|
     strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
   end

  4. In case you have already post_install has been used then copy and past the below script inside that.

       bitcode_strip_path = `xcrun --find bitcode_strip`.chop!
   def strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
     framework_path = File.join(Dir.pwd, framework_relative_path)
     command = "#{bitcode_strip_path} #{framework_path} -r -o #{framework_path}"
     puts "Stripping bitcode: #{command}"
     system(command)
   end

   framework_paths = [
     "Pods/LogRocket/LogRocket.xcframework/ios-arm64/LogRocket.framework/LogRocket",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/hermes",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/macosx/hermes.framework/Versions/Current/hermes",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64/hermes.framework/hermes",
     "Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst/hermes.framework/hermes"
   ]

   framework_paths.each do |framework_relative_path|
     strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
   end

  5. Do pod install

  6. Do archive again and try upload

Is there any risk stripping all this bitcode? Will my app work correctly? – Wink
based off of this answer: https://mcmap.net/q/167730/-xcode-14-deprecates-bitcode-but-why it seems like the answer to my comment is no – Wink
for anyone that gets stuck, this may sound silly, but running pod install is essential for this to work – Wink
It worked for me , thanks – Grantinaid
thanks, this worked for me, I added the code to the end of "post_install do |installer|" – Diner
Thank you so much for your help, its save my time the fix the issue perfectly. – Voyageur

if you are using RN version below 0.72 you might face error like this change your podfile to this below is the full code of podfile ignore comments
