Bitcode Compile During Archive Never Finishes

I am facing the same problem. What my suggestion is just enable this check mark when export for iOS App Store Deployment. If you are exporting an adhoc build then do uncheck it. It will work fast.

I have better solution for this problem. Don't go for export option tomato iPA, try out as mentioned below:

1. just right click your Archive and select show in finder
2. Then again right click on resulted file in finder and select show package content

3. then from result open product folder --> Application folder --> and select ".app" file

4. Then simply add this .app file under apps of iTunes software on mac

5. After completing adding process right click on app icon in iTunesand show in finder which will give you iPA file.

It would take only 5 minutes max.

I let this run for a long time (basically while I went out shopping). When I came back it was done. So for whatever reason this just takes a really long time to do.

That said, it was also the incorrect action. The way you add testers to TestFlight since Apple bought it is different. Now, instead of exporting and uploading an IPA file, you have to submit it to the store and let it be reviewed by Apple before you can add testers.
