I had to add this code in the post_install do |installer| block in the pod-file:

bitcode_strip_path = `xcrun --find bitcode_strip`.chop!
       def strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
         framework_path = File.join(Dir.pwd, framework_relative_path)
         command = "#{bitcode_strip_path} #{framework_path} -r -o #{framework_path}"
         puts "Stripping bitcode: #{command}"
         system(command)
       end

       framework_paths = [
         "ios/Pods/AgoraRtm_iOS/AgoraRtmKit.xcframework/ios-arm64_armv7/AgoraRtmKit.framework/AgoraRtmKit"
       ]

       framework_paths.each do |framework_relative_path|
         strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
       end

Edit: I'm not sure, but you also might need to run pod update --repo-update --project-directory=ios before running flutter build ios

Hi all
I have checked the information for all binary files of version 2.2.1 and found no Bitcode present. Could you provide the UUID of the AgoraRtmKit.framework that is actually included in your packaged app?

Add this to the end of post_install do |installer| in Podfile

post_install do |installer|

...

  bitcode_strip_path = `xcrun --find bitcode_strip`.chop!
    def strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
      framework_path = File.join(Dir.pwd, framework_relative_path)
      command = "#{bitcode_strip_path} #{framework_path} -r -o #{framework_path}"
      puts "Stripping bitcode: #{command}"
      system(command)
    end

  framework_paths = [
    "Pods/AgoraRtm_iOS/AgoraRtmKit.xcframework/ios-arm64_armv7/AgoraRtmKit.framework/AgoraRtmKit",
  ]

  framework_paths.each do |framework_relative_path|
    strip_bitcode_from_framework(bitcode_strip_path, framework_relative_path)
  end

end

and then pod install in the ios directory
