Known bugs

• If you encounter ld: could not reparse object file in bitcode bundle build error then please upgrade Xcode to 13.4.1 or newer. If Xcode upgrade is not your option, then try to use version 1.7.1 that partially solve this problem by using older compiler on our side. Error detail:

  ld: could not reparse object file in bitcode bundle: 'Invalid bitcode version (Producer: '1316.0.21.2.5_0' Reader: '1300.0.29.30_0')', using libLTO version 'LLVM version 13.0.0, (clang-1300.0.29.30)' for architecture armv7s
