Embeddinator-4000 Enable bitcode for iOS framework not working

Steps to Reproduce

While embedinating a C# source with following arguments: mono objcgen.exe --gen=obj-C --platform=ios -c -d -v --nativeexception --bitcode=true --target=framework -o=outputpath MyInputDllFile.dll
Embedination is successful, upon using that framework in a project, works totally fine if I disable the bitcode. If bitcode is enable in the project it gives me an error that the framework (generated by E4k) does has bitcode enabled. How we can embeddinate with bitcode enabled ? I already set --bitcode=true but it does not work. Also, the framework produced after embeddination has file size of around 300MB. How I can reduce the framework size ?

Expected Behavior

E4k should embeddinate in a way that iOS.framework has bitcode enabled.

Actual Behavior

E4k embeddinates but output framework has no bitcode feature.

Environment

MacOS, VS Mac

Build Logs

ld: ‘TicketingServiceIos.framework/TicketingServiceIos’ does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. file ‘TicketingServiceIos.framework/TicketingServiceIos’ for architecture armv7 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Xamarin.iOS currently only supports bitcode for watchOS and tvOS, not iOS, so this won't work for now (until Xamarin.iOS adds support for bitcode on iOS, which is a known issue but currently not a high priority, so it may take a while).

I thought I added bit code support a while back to objc gen, with the bit code command line switch and was working at time. Has it since been removed again?
