Hello folks, do you know how to enable bitcode on a staticlib?

I found this old unanswered question:
<https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3SGXARS6/p1556630878094500>

my understanding is that it is on by default

And I also tried asking on <#C3PQML5NU|multiplatform> a couple of weeks ago
<https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3PQML5NU/p1574956519274700?thread_ts=1574956519.274700>

but I guess I am not producing static libs, so not sure how that applies in that case

&gt;  my understanding is that it is on by default
At least on on frameworks, I had to use `binaries.framework { embedBitcode("bitcode") }` on Gradle to make it work

but there’s no equivalent for `embedBitcode("bitcode")`

and Xcode refuses to compile my staticlib because it says it doesn’t contain the appropriate bitcode

the app I am integrating into requires bitcode, and I did not have to enable it in my kotlin framework

maybe I have to update my Kotlin version? :thinking_face:

I’m assuming you have already tested your app in an actual device, right?

Hello <@UQE7VDKQB>! One can enable bitcode for the static library with a compiler flag `-Xembed-bitcode`  or something like
```staticLib{
    freeCompilerArgs += ["-Xembed-bitcode"]
}```
in the Gradle script. Including this parameter to the MPP plugin should be discussed.
