Have to disable Bitcode to run on physical device

[derwaldgeist]

I installed the plugins as described here:
http://practicalmeteor.com/drastically-improving-the-performance-of-your-meteor-ios-app-with-wkweb%E2%80%8Bview/

Xcode 7 won't run the code on a physical iPad, though, as the linker throws an error. It only works if I disable the "Enable Bitcode" setting of the webapp project to "No".

Why is this so?

If I run it in the simulator, this error message is not thrown.

I have no idea and since I'm in the process of moving, I don't have access to a mac for the next week. But if it solves the problem with this setting, why don't you update the README and create a pr for it, so others will workaround it it by setting bit mode to true too?

Well, I don't think this is a very good idea, since - at least as far as I understand it - the Bitcode setting allows Apple to patch apps even after they have been submitted to the App Store. If you disable this setting, this convenience feature is lost. So I would not like to touch this setting if it is not really necessary.

Did you check if this issue was reported in Telerik's repo so maybe it's not specific to my modified cordova plugin?

@derwaldgeist , here is an issue stating the same in Telerik's cordova wkwebview plugin my plugin is based on:

Telerik-Verified-Plugins/WKWebView#127

They're already launched a new web server'less plugin for iOS 9 that doesn't require a web server anymore, but I prefer to wait for official release.

Does anyone know how to disable bitcode in a purely meteor way?
