Azure-devops-docs: Missing required params from body

[car5tenV]

It seems like for iOS it is not working or the documentation lack information. If I want to use this task I always receive:
##[error]"{\"error\":\"Error: Missing required params from body: build_version, unique_identifier, Service id: {ID}\"}"

@car5tenV -- thank you for clarifying. It looks like you're working through an issue with your scenario or implementation, rather than an issue with the documentation. Here are a couple of options where you might consider asking your question:

• Azure DevOps Support Bot
• Azure DevOps on Stack Overflow

[xxycode]

@car5tenV I‘ve got the same error. Have you solved this error?

[car5tenV]

@xxycode nope unfortunately I didnt' find a fix for this. I added a hook in app center to get triggered once a push to a branch is made

[daelhoser]

@xxycode , were you able to solve the issue? I too am facing this.

[xxycode]

I have solved this issue. My code signing was wrong. It works well after I fix my code signing.

[ShaunFS]

@xxycode Can you elaborate on what the fix was for your code signing? I am running into this issue right now

@xxycode Can you elaborate on what the fix was for your code signing? I am running into this issue right now

When I copy provision file, I named "embedded.mobileprovision" to "embedded.provisionprofile", the right name is "embedded.mobileprovision".

[SalvoSwift21]

@xxycode , please can you help me I don't know what to watch anymore. I have the same error: ## [error] "{\" error \ ": \" Error: Missing required params from body: build_version, unique_identifier, Service id: {ID} \ "}"

Here is my configuration by replacing the variables that depend on the project with xyz.
Thanks in advance

steps:

  displayName: 'Install an Apple certificate-Distribution'
  inputs:
    certSecureFile: 'Distribution.p12'
    certPwd: '$(P12password)'

steps:
- task: InstallAppleProvisioningProfile@1
  displayName: 'Install an Apple provisioning profile-Distribution-AdHoc'
  inputs:
    provProfileSecureFile: 'xyz.mobileprovision'


variables:
  Scheme-STUB: 'XYZ'

    actions: 'clean build'
    xcWorkspacePath: '$(Parameters.xcWorkspacePath)'

For anyone having issues with this, our application has several extensions with their own provisioning profiles and the signing was not working properly until we created a plist file and used that option

• task: Xcode@5
  inputs:
  actions: 'clean build archive'
  xcWorkspacePath: 'xyzapp/xyzapp.xcworkspace'
  scheme: 'xyzapp-$(Configuration)'
  xcodeVersion: 'specifyPath' # Options: 8, 9, 10, default, specifyPath
  xcodeDeveloperDir: '/Applications/Xcode_11.4.1.app/Contents/Developer'
  signingOption: 'default'
  teamId: $(TeamId)
  packageApp: true
  exportOptions: 'plist'
  exportOptionsPlist: 'xyzapp/exportOptions.plist'
  exportMethod: 'ad-hoc'
  exportTeamId: $(TeamId)
  workingDirectory: 'xyzapp'

Here's an example of the plist file we specify:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

@ShaunFS Thanks a lot, you solved the problem for me :)

[ShaunFS]

@SalvoSwift21 Glad to hear it, we struggled with this problem for quite a while
