Minimal iOS App Illustrating PebbleKit-embed Error

This project demonstrates how the PebbleKit embedded framework breaks app thining and xcodebuild exports when bitcode is enabled.

Setup

You'll need to set the Team in the Xcode project and the export options plist (options.plis).

Problem in Xcode

Archive and then choose Export... Select Save for Ad Hoc Deployment, choose the provisioning team, and then select the Export for specific devices: radio button. You will get the message An error occured during export / No applicable devices found.

Problem with Code Build

Run build.sh with the teamID set in options.plist and you will see

[MT] IDEDistribution: Step failed: <IDEDistributionThinningStep: 0x7ff26b39c1b0>: Error Domain=IDEDistributionErrorDomain Code=14 "No applicable devices found." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No applicable devices found.}
error: exportArchive: No applicable devices found.

Error Domain=IDEDistributionErrorDomain Code=14 "No applicable devices found." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No applicable devices found.}

** EXPORT FAILED **
