Fastlane error 65 on Jenkins or remote login

Question

I am aware this is known issue, and answers were attempted couple of times, but this time I found conditions which I feel are strange. The logs tell the dreaded Error 65 and errSecInternalComponent when code-signing first Pod.

• When running on Jenkins, my build FAILS.
• When running manually on CI machine, logging via SSH and executing bundle exec fastlane appstore, it FAILS
• When I log in on remote desktop, or physically access the CI machine, build SUCCEEDS.

I have security unlock-keychain command included in shell script to right before building.

bundle update
export FASTLANE_DISABLE_COLORS=1
export APP_IDENTIFIER=com.example.MyApp
security unlock-keychain -p topsecret ~/Library/Keychains/codesign.keychain && bundle exec fastlane appstore

I also tried other voodoo, like doing other magic with keychain

When ran directly on CI server console (or via remote desktop) it runs flawlessly, not prompting for user passwords etc. I wonder what makes the difference?

Fastlane version is 2.106.0 (up to date).

The build fails like for other users, when executing Embed Pods Frameworks:

▸ Running script '[CP] Embed Pods Frameworks'
** ARCHIVE FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

Answer 1

I had the same issue on my Jenkins server. To fix it I used the following flag in my match action

keychain_password: "my_Mac_Password"

I took it out once I was able to make it work once.

You can also try the unlock_keychain action if you are not using match.
