Deploying to the Crashlytics Beta service from an Xcode Bot

Question

I'm trying to use the command line deployment method to upload an iOS beta to Crashlytics (Crashlytics.framework/submit) in a post archive step using an Xcode Bot on Xcode Server.

The problem is that Crashlytics doesn't appear to be able to sign the ipa file correctly.

According to their support i need to unlock the keychain. I have tried the following but the error persists:

• security unlock-keychain -p the-password /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
• Unlocking the keychain via the server GUI (Keychain Access)
• Running security list-keychains only lists /Library/Keychains/System.keychain and the certificate and private key are imported and present in that keychain.

The error:

2015-02-04 10:43:06.247 submit Crashlytics: Crashlytics.framework/submit 1.3.1 (11)
2015-02-04 10:43:06.981 submit Crashlytics: Unable to find a certificate with a private key: Error Domain=CLSProvisioningProfileErrorDomain Code=-1 "The operation couldn�t be completed.

2015-02-04 10:43:07.002 submit Crashlytics: Failed to prepare the binary for release
Error uploading to Crashlytics

Maybe the issue has something to do with the Xcode Bot running as another user called _xsomething?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. You should point to the login.keychain. Most cases you have your credentials (certificate and private key) in your login.keychain, NOT your System.keychain. Remember, a keychain is just a file encrypted with the credentials. You should tell to the post action run script (after Crashlytics/submit execution) which keychain should use.
