I will try it, of course, and I've been using Xcode 7 beta for quite a while. But the time when my under-development framework will be ready to embed in a test application is still a little way in the future, and I was hoping to get authoritative outside input in the meantime. >> What I wonder is whether setting the ENABLE_BITCODE build setting to NO will >> work for applications as well as frameworks. > > I assume that bitcode is _only_ included in an app when it’s being built for > submission to the App Store.

I assume so, too, for just that reason, but the Release Notes' focus on frameworks worries me. As you know, assumptions are dangerous things in this business. Since posting, I have discovered that the default setting for ENABLE_BITCODE seems to be NO, at least in Xcode 7 GM. -- Bill Cheeseman - [email protected]
