How to enable bitcode when using apple_framework

[sanju-naik]

Hi,

We are using cocoapods-bazel to generate BUILD files for Cocoapods, We want to enable bitcode for these pods, How Can I do this?

I tried passing these options to apple_framework macro, but it didn't work

  objc_copts = ["-embed-bitcode"],
  linkopts = ["-fembed-bitcode"],

The main ios_application where bitcode is enabled, still fails with this error:
