xcodebuild failing in Xcode14 but working in Xcode 13

Question

I am facing a issue while generating build using command line script in Xcode 14, the same script is working with Xcode 13.

the function to archive is

function buildArchieve {
BUILD_FILES="$BUILD_DIR/${ASSET_BASENAME}"
mkdir -p "$BUILD_FILES"

# archieve the build
ARCHIEVE_PATH="$BUILD_DIR/${ASSET_BASENAME}/$EXPORT_METHOD/${PRODUCT_NAME}.xcarchive"
(xcodebuild -workspace "$WORKSPACE" -scheme "$SCHEME" -configuration "$CONFIGURATION" -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' -archivePath "$ARCHIEVE_PATH" clean archive 1> /dev/null ||
xcodebuild -workspace "$WORKSPACE" -scheme "$SCHEME" -configuration "$CONFIGURATION" -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' -archivePath "$ARCHIEVE_PATH" clean archive ||
failed "XCode failed to build app")

# export archieve
EXPORT_PATH="$BUILD_DIR/${ASSET_BASENAME}/$EXPORT_METHOD"
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath "$ARCHIEVE_PATH" -exportPath "$EXPORT_PATH" -exportOptionsPlist "$EXPORT_PLIST_FILE" 1> /dev/null

# Extacting DSYM file
if [ "$METHOD" == "app-store" ]; then
    DYSM_FILE="${EXPORT_PATH}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.xcarchive/dSYMs/WhiteLabel.app.dSYM"
    ditto -c -k --norsrc "$DYSM_FILE" "${BUILD_FILES}/${PRODUCT_NAME}_${bvers}.dSYM.zip"
fi

# removing archieve file
rm -rf "$ARCHIEVE_PATH"

}

and I am getting following on the Jenkins console

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -workspace BroughSuperior.xcworkspace -scheme BroughSuperior -configuration Release -destination generic/platform=iOS -archivePath "administrator/testing-app5_ios_2023-05-05-10:10:33/enterprise/testing-app5.xcarchive" clean archive User defaults from command line: IDEArchivePathOverride = /Users/administrator/.jenkins/jobs/iOS Bruff dev/workspace/BroughSuperior/administrator/testing-app5_ios_2023-05-05-10:10:33/enterprise/testing-app5.xcarchive IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES`

I can not use Xcode 13 now, since apple has stopped taking builds from Xcode 13. And the same command works in Xcode 13.

Archive_output.txt file

Command line invocation: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -workspace BroughSuperior.xcworkspace -scheme BroughSuperior -configuration Release -destination generic/platform=iOS -archivePath clean archive

User defaults from command line: IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES

Do you have any other specific error message? Would |this help](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56289124/6309) — VonC, May 14 '23 at 05:49
@VonC its a iOS native code not react native code. nothing else, its not giving as such error. the script after this line does not run. — Surbhi Garg, May 15 '23 at 04:15
Can you add more logging information to your script to help diagnose where it's getting stuck? As in `xcodebuild -workspace "$WORKSPACE" -scheme "$SCHEME" -configuration "$CONFIGURATION" -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' -archivePath "$ARCHIEVE_PATH" clean archive > $BUILD_DIR/archive_output.txt 2>&1 || failed "XCode failed to build app with error: $(cat $BUILD_DIR/archive_output.txt)"` (no `(..)`): This script will capture the output from the `xcodebuild` command and store it in a file. Do replace `$BUILD_DIR` with your actual build directory path. — VonC, May 15 '23 at 08:39
I have added function to archive let me know if anything else is required — Surbhi Garg, May 16 '23 at 11:23
I do not see the `archive_output.txt` part, which would help since it would capture the error in a file. — VonC, May 16 '23 at 11:26

The error message in your log indicates that it should be a signing issue:

/Users/administrator/.jenkins/jobs/iOS Bruff dev/workspace/MIBKit/MIBKit.xcodeproj: error: No signing certificate "iOS Development" found: No "iOS Development" signing certificate matching team ID "HHGY6CWBZB" with a private key was found. (in target 'MIBKitResources' from project 'MIBKit') ** ARCHIVE FAILED **

This suggests that Xcode cannot find the appropriate iOS Development certificate that matches the specified team ID.

on the Jenkins console

Remember, if you're using Jenkins to build your project, you'll need to ensure that the correct certificates and provisioning profiles are installed on the Jenkins server, and not just your local machine.
Your Jenkins server could be your local machine: make sure it (Jenkins) is running with your account.

First, check your certificates: Open the Keychain Access app on the Mac used as Jenkins server (could be your own machine), and verify that the correct iOS Development certificate is present. If it's not, you might need to download it from the Apple Developer website and install it.

Then check your provisioning profiles (Open Xcode and go to Xcode > Preferences > Accounts, select your Apple ID, and click on "Manage Certificates.") See if the development certificate is present in the list of certificates. If not, you can add it by clicking the plus button.

Try and update your build settings, by opening your project in Xcode and check the build settings for your target. Make sure the "Code Signing Identity" is set to "iOS Developer" and the "Provisioning Profile" is set to "Automatic" or to the correct specific profile. Also, ensure that the correct team is selected in the "Signing & Capabilities" tab.

Note: Sometimes, issues can arise because the wrong version of Xcode is being used by command line tools. You can set the correct version by going to Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools and selecting the correct version of Xcode.

I had a similar problem and this helped me.

Changes in Podfile

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = 'NO'
    end
  end
end
