Description

Attempting to build any project to my iPhone 6+ running iOS 9 other any Ti SDK 5.0.0.GA results in the following linker error:

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 arm64

I have tried the following Ti SDK versions, all with the same result: * 3.5.1.GA * 4.0.0.GA * 4.1.1.GA I see the same error from both the CLI & studio and I also see the same error for both brand new & existing projects.

This is unfortunately expected. Xcode 7 turns on bitcode by default if there is not an explicit setting for turning it off. Since SDKs prior to 5.0.0 have no knowledge of bitcode, they don't know how to turn it off. The current workaround is, after you build using Xcode 7, you can open the Xcode 7 project that was created and set the 'enable bitcode' to NO. It is possible you could edit the default template in earlier SDKs to add this setting manually: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/5_0_X/iphone/iphone/Titanium.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj#L2733
