Google Analytics libAdIdAccess.a does not contain bitcode

Update:

Good news everyone!

Google Analytics now supports Bitcode with their 3.14 release. You can grab it from their download sources, however its not listed on Cocoapods yet.

Original:

Google needs to compile their analytics SDK into a bitcode library. However, from previous experience with Google updating their libraries to 64-bit it took over half a year iirc.

My advice is if you’re not supporting watchOS we can just wait it out, got to

  1. Build Settings

  2. Enable Bitcode

  3. Set to No

If you are supporting watchOS, use a different analytics tool for now.

Extra info:

There’s developers talking about it on a google forum here:

Facebook and Fabric.io (Crashlytics, TwitterKit) have already updated to use bitcode, so it technically shouldn’t be too difficult for Google to follow suit. I believe this type of holdback to be politics. The ones who have the most to lose are our users.
