xcodebuild: Command failed with exit code 65 in Ionic Capacitor Application

Question

I have an ionic project and it uses a capacitor. The environment info for my project shows something like:

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.1.1 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)
   Ionic Framework: ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.11

Capacitor:

   capacitor (Capacitor CLI) : 1.1.0
   @capacitor/core           : 1.1.0

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 7.0.0
   Cordova Platforms     : none
   Cordova Plugins       : no whitelisted plugins (0 plugins total)

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/Users/iosbuild/Library/Android/sdk)
   NodeJS            : v9.4.0 (/usr/local/bin/node)
   npm               : 6.4.1
   OS                : macOS High Sierra
   Xcode             : Xcode 9.4.1 Build version 9F2000

To build & deploy the project, the project uses Fastlane. The Application is code-signed automatically.

The Gym of Fastlane looks like:

gym(
      scheme: IOS_SCHEME,
      workspace: IOS_WORKSPACE,
      export_method: EXPORT_METHOD[releaseType],
      export_xcargs: '-allowProvisioningUpdates',
      export_options: {
        'signingStyle': 'automatic',
        'compileBitcode': false
      }
    )

Suddenly, after a few months the build started failing with Error Code 65. Here is the build failure message :

After lots of googling, many solutions have been tried out, but Failure..!! Following solutions are already tried:

• Keychain unlocks & lock.
• Check Valid Certificate & removing Expired Certificates.
• Set Keychain Password to Partition List.
• Reboot Mac.
• Duplicate Keychain Entries managing
• adding post_install to pod file. Disabling Code Signing for pods frameworks
• pod install using Fastlane.
• Cleared Derived data directory & Module folder.

Podfile looks like below:

platform :ios, '11.0'
use_frameworks!

# workaround to avoid Xcode 10 caching of Pods that requires
# Product -> Clean Build Folder after new Cordova plugins installed
# Requires CocoaPods 1.6 or newer
install! 'cocoapods', :disable_input_output_paths => true

def capacitor_pods
  # Automatic Capacitor Pod dependencies, do not delete
  pod 'Capacitor', :path => '../../node_modules/@capacitor/ios'
  pod 'CapacitorCordova', :path => '../../node_modules/@capacitor/ios'
  pod 'CordovaPluginsStatic', :path => '../capacitor-cordova-ios-plugins'
  # Do not delete
end

target 'App' do
  capacitor_pods
  # Add your Pods here
end

Cocoapods version for Mac-mini is, 1.7.4

First Question here is, Does the Xcode version needs to be updated to 10?

SecondQuestion, Does the fastlane version matters? Current fastlane version used is : 2.105.2

How can I solve this Archive Failed issue? The certificates required are all correctly installed. Trying this from days and still stuck here.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Capacitor requires Xcode 10 or newer as latest version uses Swift 4.2, which is not available on Xcode 9
