Appcenter: Issue - CocoaPods 1.6.0 Versus CocoaPods 1.5.3 on AppCenter

[Snowycofy]

What App Center service does this affect?
AppCenter - BUILD/Branches

Describe the bug
It doesn't build the project due to missing files Podfile.lock and Manifest.lock

The error message is from the Check Pods Manifest.lock (We can find the script in XCode/build phases).
In this script, the path of Podfile.lock and Manifest.lock has variable. These variable are defined in .../ios/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-MoviesAndMe/Pods-MoviesAndMe.release.xcconfig.
But he doesn't load it as the path is wrong :

It should be .../ios/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-MoviesAndMe/Pods-MoviesAndMe.release.xcconfig)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the root of the project
2. Open a terminal and type "npm install"
3. After this, type "cd ios" and then "pod install"
4. Build the project on Appcenter

Files :
Logs : logs_7.zip
Project : https://github.com/Snowycofy/Tuto_ReactNative

Expected behavior
it doesn't compile due to missing files /Podfile.lock and /Manifest.lock

Desktop, Software:

• MacOs version 10.13.6
• Browser : Safari
• Xcode 10.1
• CocoaPods 1.6.0

Latest cocoapods release is now 1.6.1

Hi @Snowycofy @ApolloZhu, I'm taking a look into this and will report back here with an update

Hi,

I had this same issue, and after a couple of research, I found out that the problem is the pod install (check it out here: #6194).

So I added a script to remove all cocoapods versions and install the version 1.6.1 (which has the bug fixed).

This is the script which I am using:

echo "uninstalling all cocoapods versions"
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods --all
echo "installing cocoapods version 1.6.1"
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.6.1

I added it to the post-clone event (appcenter-post-clone.sh).

Not sure if that is the best way, but it solved from me ;)

This issue is also affecting me and havent been able to fix it, any clues on how to fix it ?? @alanlima i tried your solution and its not working due to my appcenter-post-clone.sh is not being triggered by appcenter

[alanlima]

Hi @ivan-jorge001

Try to follow the steps below to add a custom script:

1. Added the file at the root of your project (same as package.json)
2. Commit to your repository.
3. Open build configuration on app center and check that this file should be recognized by the appcenter.

1. Trigger a build

_More info about custom build scripts here._

And when you build, you should have those lines on your build log:

Hi,
I didn't think that we could remove cocoapods 1.5.3 and install the version 1.6.1 on AppCenter.
Thank you @alanlima, it works for me.

[istvanp]

Here's the appcenter-post-clone.sh script I use. This one has the benefit to install the same version of CocoaPods as the one in Podfile.lock. It prevents potential breaking issues and warnings introduced by running a different CocoaPods version (i.e. the one on the App Center cloud build machine) vs. the one specified in the lock file (the one you use to build your project locally).

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo "Uninstalling all CocoaPods versions"
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods --all --executables

COCOAPODS_VER=`sed -n -e 's/^COCOAPODS: \([0-9.]*\)/\1/p' Podfile.lock`

echo "Installing CocoaPods version $COCOAPODS_VER"
sudo gem install cocoapods -v $COCOAPODS_VER

I think this should be the default behavior for iOS builds with a Podfile.lock. Thoughts @nrajpurkar?
Maybe a performance improvement would be to check first if the versions are already matching.

[nilofer]

We'll be updating to the latest versions of CocoaPods in our next update to our agents. There are some backwards compatibility issues. If these affect your build, check out this build script to rollback.

[nilofer]

Nice suggestion @istvanp! That's definitely helpful if you need to lock on to a specific version. Would you mind adding that to our build script repository for others to use before we decide on whether or not to make that default behavior?

[istvanp]

@nrajpurkar Done!
