Xcode build issue couldn't to find auto-linked framework

Question

I've been struggling with this issue for days now :( When building my iOS app in the simulator it works fine (debug build), but as soon as I'm trying to build to my iPhone 11 (v 14.5.1) my build fails with these errors:

ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'GoogleDataTransport'
ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'FirebaseRemoteConfig'
ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'FirebaseCore'
ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'Protobuf'
ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'FirebaseInstallations'
ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'GoogleToolboxForMac'
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

I'm using Xcode 12.5. I've tried various suggestions like:

Adding LD_VERIFY_BITCODE to User-Defined in Build Settings with the value of NO
Enable Bitcode in Build Settings with the value of NO
Deleting derived data
Uninstalling and installing Pods
Clean build
Make sure that Framework Search Paths looks correct. I only have $(inherited)
Changing $(inherited) to recursive
Made sure I have the .xcworkspace file open and not the .xcodeproj

Any other possible solutions out there?

Nope - I'm on OSX 11.2.3 (Big Sur) on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) — Michael Falck Wedelgård, Jun 15 '21 at 13:55
Did you do `Build Settings > Enable Bitcode > NO` for all targets (including your app targets & multiple PODS targets)? — Tarun Tyagi, Jun 15 '21 at 13:59
All targets in Pods do have `Build Settings > Enable Bitcode > YES`, but that's a lot of pod targets. Should the all have `NO` ? If so how do I ensure that newly added Pods will have `NO` as well? — Michael Falck Wedelgård, Jun 15 '21 at 14:03
It seems like I've god rid of the auto-linking errors, bu upgrading alle firebase packages to latest version. Its failing now with `symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64` — Michael Falck Wedelgård, Jun 15 '21 at 19:27
Did you delete `Derived Data` & `Clean Build Folder` after `pod update`? — Tarun Tyagi, Jun 15 '21 at 19:37
yes, force close xcode, pod update, delete derived data, clean build — Michael Falck Wedelgård, Jun 15 '21 at 20:03

The issue is related to Flipper if I comment out use_flipper!() in the Podfile it works. Unfortunately I haven't figured out a good way to disable flipper when running on local device only.

You should try setting ENABLE_BITCODE = NO for all of your targets (including your app targets & multiple PODS targets).

Here's what you can add at the end of Podfile.

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

Save it and do a pod install. Do a clean build, see if it helps.
