[Faisal-Manzer]

What App Center service does this affect?
React Native SDK, and Build.

Describe the bug
Locally Xcode is building normally but is failing on appcenter.

Expected behavior

@Faisal-Manzer Did you figure this issue out yourself?

[Faisal-Manzer]

Yes, actually it was an error with code push integration.

[Faisal-Manzer]

Hey, I am reopening this because problem prevails.

iOS Builds are Always failing.
The app was working properly on Local.
I added Archive to App Store also, without any problem it is building.
But on MSAC it is facing an issue.
I tried both signed and unsigned builds, no build succeeds.

We have the same problem, when we try to build our ios project.

[Faisal-Manzer]

@patniko @lumaxis help, please.

[evillemez]

I don't know if this is the same problem or not, but it sounds the same. iOS (React Native) builds for us have also started failing. We haven't made changes to our branch configuration, and have been trying to build the same commit that previously worked just a couple of days ago. Android builds are working as expected... not really sure where to go with it.

@Faisal-Manzer @gpetrosyan Are you still stuck on this too, or did you find something you could fix on your end?

[evillemez]

I should add, our developers were able to build the same branch locally as well.

@patniko Any thoughts on what we should try if they can build locally but it's stopped working in App Center?

[DennisPan]

@evillemez @Faisal-Manzer @gpetrosyan Do you mind going to App Center portal and use the Intercom bubble at bottom right to start a conversation with support? That will allow us to collect additional information as needed, which could be hard to do here. Also, looking at the pasted logs here, the failure are different, so they likely need to be resolved separately.

[evillemez]

Our problem ended up being the version of Cocoapods App Center was using, which must have been updated internally. We were able to provide a build script to uninstall Cocoapods, and install the version we need, and that got our iOS builds working again.

[CSharped]

@evillemez , how did you identify that its a different version ? and how did you fix it?

[vpulec]

@CSharped, I ran into a similar problem and I fixed it by updating CocoaPods and dependencies (the second part was probably not needed to solve this problem)

• sudo gem install cocoapods
• pod update

After that, I have checked-in the Podfile.lock, which updated by CocoaPods version to 1.6.1.

One more note, there is a page that lists the current versions of the libraries used by the MSAC agents: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/build/software

[puju96]

I am also facing same issue . Native IOS(swift) builds of us are also started failing.previously it was working fine but after new commit it got failed. Locally i am able to build using xcode but in appcenter we are facing problem. Don't know how to solve this issue.

@puju96 From a quick glance, the error you are running into is different from the other few reported in the Issue. It usually requires deeper investigation into each case. If you don’t mind, please reach out to our support via the Intercom bubble at bottom right of the portal. That will allow us to collect more details.

[DennisPan]

Closing this because what I have seen is that this Issue becomes a place where different cases of build failures are reported. For any new build failure, I’d suggest either reach out to support, or creat a new Issue that’s more specifically targeted.

Question: Did you update cocoapods locally, or with a custom build script? I'm on cocoapods 1.7.1 locally, while App Center is on 1.7.0. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

[nartc]

@Faisal-Manzer I have just ran into the same problem (but for -lDoubleConversion) instead. Have you found a fix for this issue? My local pod is 1.8.4 and it is the same as AppCenter's pod version. XCode builds successfully locally.

I'm have a equal problem.

[Faisal-Manzer]

I don't remember how I solved that. It has been a long time.

Hello Guys,
Has anyone managed to fix it ?

[danibots]

In Appcenter Build from Swift/Xcode, I had a similar issue (archive failing, error code 65) but mine looked like it was failing to access files in a particular directory.

error: /Users/runner/runners/2.168.2/work/1/s/Pods/Target Support Files/...
I made two changes and the build succeeded afterward, and I think the success was related to the second change but for completeness I am listing both.
(1) Duplicate the shared schema for the workspace to create a project level version of the scheme that is also marked as shared
(2) Add Pods to source control and push those files to the Github repository I use for the appcenter build. (Before, I excluded pods from source control because they were not part of the workspace, so I believe the error was caused by appcenter looking for files that didn't exist in github)

[Faisal-Manzer]

Can you all verify the POD version and XCode versions are the same? (on local machine and app center)

[tusharmutreja200]

+1 ,I am also facing the same issue

[tusharmutreja200]

Hey guys, I found the solution.

1. Don"t commit node_modules, Pods, PodFile.lock,package.json on git.
2. Again try to build it on Appcenter, It works

[affantechcarrot]

@Faisal-Manzer How did you resolve this issue ?

For iOS simulator add this to params -arch x86_64

[designervoid]

had .detoxrc.json like this:

"ios.sim.debug": {
      "binaryPath": "ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Project.app",
      "build": "xcodebuild -project ios/Project.xcodeproj -scheme Project -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ios/build",
      "type": "ios.simulator",
      "name": "iPhone 11" 
    },

make it to:

"ios.sim.debug": {
      "binaryPath": "ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Project.app",
      "build": "xcodebuild -workspace ios/Project.xcworkspace -scheme Project -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ios/build -arch x86_64",
      "type": "ios.simulator",
      "name": "iPhone 11" 
    },

then run:

detox build -c ios.sim.debug

this gives me bundle. then we can test:

detox test -c ios.sim.debug
