I got IPA processing failed when I archive the app.

And check the log like this:

If you have a downloadable sample project that reproduces the bug you're reporting, you will likely receive a faster response on your issue.

Here is sample proj : https://github.com/Bruce9487/TestFirebaseCrashlytics

Relevant Code:

I try to add shell script like this

APP_PATH="${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}"

# This script loops through the frameworks embedded in the application and
# removes unused architectures.
find "$APP_PATH" -name '*.framework' -type d | while read -r FRAMEWORK
do
FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME=$(defaults read "$FRAMEWORK/Info.plist" CFBundleExecutable)
FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH="$FRAMEWORK/$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
echo "Executable is $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"

EXTRACTED_ARCHS=()

for ARCH in $ARCHS
do
echo "Extracting $ARCH from $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
lipo -extract "$ARCH" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH" -o "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-$ARCH"
EXTRACTED_ARCHS+=("$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-$ARCH")
done

echo "Merging extracted architectures: ${ARCHS}"
lipo -o "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-merged" -create "${EXTRACTED_ARCHS[@]}"
rm "${EXTRACTED_ARCHS[@]}"

echo "Replacing original executable with thinned version"
rm "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
mv "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-merged" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"

done

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

@Bruce9487 Thanks for the report and the sample.

However, I'm not able to reproduce. I successfully archive the project with both Xcode 12 and Xcode 11.0:

[KC-218]

@paulb777 Thanks. So, do you success to export the ipa? OMG, That's wired.
Because I click the button "Distribute App", and got this error. I put my error message pic for you.

[morganchen12]

If you click the "Show logs" button, is there a more complete error?

[KC-218]

@morganchen12 I see the file IDEDistribution.standard.log

And here is the log: https://gist.github.com/Bruce9487/cf5e3804d05ca9426f203312ae602d40

[morganchen12]

Looks like this is the relevant error from the log:

Are you copying the Carthage frameworks into your app bundle? If so, you should avoid copying the frameworks into your app bundle. They will be linked statically into your app binary and do not need to be present in the app bundle.

[KC-218]

@morganchen12 So, do I need to change the FirebaseCore.framework "Emded & Sign" to "Do Not Embed" ?

[morganchen12]

Yes, the Firebase frameworks should all be "Do Not Embed". Sub-dependencies like nanopb and GoogleUtilities should still be "Embed & Sign".

[paulb777]

Going to close now based on the answer from @morganchen12. We can reopen if there's still an issue.

[KC-218]

@morganchen12 @paulb777 Thanks. It's work. I figure out my question.
