Realm-js: v0.14.0 - Getting `strip failed with exit code 1` on Archive.

[joshuapinter]

I wasn't getting this before but perhaps an issue since 0.14.0.

I've got all my strip build settings to no. Any idea what could be the issue?

Thanks!

Getting the same thing:

@joshuapinter @dorongutman Please try cleaning your build files (Product → Clean in the menubar, or ⇧⌘K), and then rebuilding. Also, if that doesn't work, please let me know which version of Xcode you're using. Thanks!

[dorongutman]

@appden I'm always doing these 2 actions when such issue arise, and I did them here as well:

1. Cmd+K
2. Clearing the entire ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData folder when such issues arise

None of these actions helped.

My xcode is Version 7.3 (7D175)

[appden]

@dorongutman That definitely appears to be a bug in strip. If you can, please try upgrading to Xcode 7.3.2 and let me know how that goes. I'm not experiencing that issue on my iPhone 6s device on 7.3.2.

[joshuapinter]

@appden 7.3.2? The latest I can see is 7.3.1: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12

[joshuapinter]

I upgraded to Xcode 7.3.1, did a clean, build and archive and still getting the same error.

[joshuapinter]

Just confirm, I had to resort to realm package 0.13.2 in order to get our latest version archiving without hitting this error. So, 0.14.0 is the culprit.

[appden]

@joshuapinter Thanks for the update. I'll be digging into this to figure out its cause and hopefully get it fixes quickly for a 0.14.1 bugfix release. Since I am unable to reproduce it here, I would really appreciate knowing more about your environment. So I have some questions below, if you don't mind...

1. Would you post a screenshot of your  → About This Mac window
2. Is this reproducing for you in a brand new project?
3. Are you only getting this when you Archive, or even for Debug builds?

Thanks again!

[joshuapinter]

No problem, @appden. Thanks for looking into it!

1. 
2. Haven't tested. Can try and make time for this.
3. Only when I Archive, not for Debugging and generally development.

[appden]

@joshuapinter Thanks again for being so quick to respond. Would you mind trying one-by-one disabling the strip settings for the RealmJS static library target (located under RealmReact.xcodeproj ▸ Libraries ▸ RealmJS.xcodeproj). Listed below:

• Use Separate Strip
• Strip Linked Product
• Dead Code Stripping

If any of them (or combination of them) fixes this issue, please let me know! Here's what it would look like if you disabled them all:

[maxdjohnson]

I'm experiencing the same issue when I try to create an archive build. I found that it builds successfully only if the "Strip Linked Product" setting is switched off. Google searching got me nowhere but it looks like the crashing line happens here: https://opensource.apple.com/source/ld64/ld64-224.1/src/ld/LinkEditClassic.hpp in the default block of encodeSectionReloc

[appden]

@maxdjohnson Thanks! Can you confirm that you turned off Strip Linked Product on the RealmJS static library target, or did you do that on your application target?

[maxdjohnson]

I turned it off on the RealmJS static library target

[appden]

@dorongutman @joshuapinter @maxdjohnson We just released 0.14.1-rc. Would you mind updating to that and seeing if this issue is resolved? Thanks so much!

[joshuapinter]

@appden I upgraded to 0.14.1-rc and we're good to go! 👍

Didn't even have to manually adjust those strip settings on the RealmJS library.

[appden]

That's fantastic to hear! Thanks for the confirmation!

[maxdjohnson]

👍 works for me!

[appden]

We just released the official 0.14.1. Thanks again for all your help everyone!

[mamunabcoder]

Working well for me, Thanks a lot.
