[ios] Remove the support for bitcode
According to Xcode 14 documentation [1]:
> Xcode no longer builds bitcode by default and generates a warning
> message if a project explicitly enables bitcode: “Building with
> bitcode is deprecated. Please update your project and/or target
> settings to disable bitcode.” The capability to build with bitcode
> will be removed in a future Xcode release. IPAs that contain bitcode
> will have the bitcode stripped before being submitted to the App
> Store. Debug symbols for past bitcode submissions remain available
> for download. (86118779)
