[SOLVED] MobileFirst Platform CLI unable to build xcode 7.2 project with JSON Store

MobileFirst Platform CLI unable to build xcode 7.2 project with JSON Store

I have a cordova project that contains mfp JSON Store. When I build the project with xcode 7.2 (enable Bitcode is set to false), it will run into an error:

  "_EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup", referenced from:
  +[JSONStoreSecurityUtils _doEncrypt:key:withIV:] in IBMMobileFirstPlatformFoundationJSONStore(JSONStoreSecurityUtils.o)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64





clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Looks like it doesn't have the relevant JSONStore libraries for architecture arm64. If I try to run on a simulator, it fails with not found for architecture x86_64.

If you want to reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

I used this project from mfp.help
Added the ios environment: mfp cordova platform add
mfp push
Open the project in xcode, disable bitcode and run on device/simulator

mfp cordova plugin list shows the following:

cordova-plugin-mfp 7.1.0 "IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation"
cordova-plugin-mfp-jsonstore 7.1.0 "IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation - JSONStore"
cordova-plugin-mfp-push 7.1.0 "IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation - Push Notifications"
org.apache.cordova.device 0.2.13 "Device"
org.apache.cordova.dialogs 0.2.11 "Notification"
org.apache.cordova.geolocation 0.3.11 "Geolocation"
org.apache.cordova.globalization 0.3.3 "Globalization"
org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser 0.5.4 "InAppBrowser"
org.apache.cordova.network-information 0.2.14 "Network Information"

I tried to update the plugins via mfp cordova plugin update, but that didn't help.

I use this version of cli: $ mfp -v 7.1.0.00.20151023-1449
