Nativescript-cli: The publish ios command fails

[vchimev]

Command:

node_modules/.bin/tns publish ios <user> <pass> --path TNSAppTest --log trace

It seems there is plugins-debug.xcconfig, but no plugins-release.xcconfig:

mcsofnsbuild02:ios nsbuilduser$ pwd
/Users/nsbuilduser/workspace/tns-publish-iOS-AppStore-master/TNSAppTest/platforms/ios

If I add plugins-release.xcconfig, the command manages to publish successfully.

$ xcodebuild -version

I'm using Nativescript-CLI 2.4.0 and I'm still getting this error. @dtopuzov Are we supposed to be manually creating plugins-release.xcconfig?

[bradmartin]

I think I ran into this last week. I switched from the CLI publish to an xcode workflow and I have to manually set the PODS_ROOT for release in the build settings for the project to ${SRCROOT}/Pods to get a successful build.

[NathanWalker]

Confirmed, this is still an issue with 2.4.0 here.
Any estimate on when this fix will go out and would it be in 2.4.1? Thank you!

[tzraikov]

Hey @NathanWalker 2.4.1 is already public. Please, could you give it a try and confirm whether the issue still appears.

[bradmartin]

I can confirm it's still an issue. I just downgraded to 2.3.0 for another issue to test and I have the plugins-release.xcconfig in the platforms/ios folder after running tns emulate ios and then when opening in xcode I don't have to set the PODS_ROOT value anymore for release.

[NathanWalker]

@bradmartin Are you confirming it's still not working in 2.4.1?

[bradmartin]

Fairly certain I was running latest. I'll try again later unless you want
to :)

Confirmed it's not there for me with latest release (not @next versions) I still have to set PODS_ROOT in the build settings in xcode.

IGNORE ME* Complete idiot about iOS 👋
Everything works fine if you just run tns build ios --release stupid me. I only tried tns emulate ios which makes sense it only produces the debug files 😄

[vchimev]

@zakdances, @NathanWalker, @bradmartin,

the original issue here was that the tns publish ios command did not produce the plugins-release.xcconfig file, as it did not use --release option internally.

The issue was introduced and fixed prior to 2.4.0, so the tns publish ios command works as expected in 2.4.*.

For any other commands as build, run, etc.:

• in version 2.3 they used to prepare the project for both debug and release, no matter which flag has been specified,
• in version 2.4 this has been fixed as part of a major optimization of the project preparing (tns prepare command), so the respective flag --debug or --release should be passed to the commands.
  NOTE: --debug is the default option when no flag specified.

Try to run tns prepare ios before in the terminal. It worked for me.
