Hi,

Can you tell me :

• What is the version of the plugin you are using and the version of xcode.
• Which parameters are set for xcode in your jenkins job.
• which revelant configuration you have in your xcode project about these path.

I already had a similar feedback but I didn't had enough feedback to understand what was wrong with the actual code. I think that the default build directory computed by the plugin is wrong in some cases but I don't find when ...

Cheers

I´m using Jenkins ver. 1.450 on a Ubuntu machine with a macOS slave running 10.6
The plugin is version 1.3
Configuration is set to "Debug"
Technical VErsion is set to "${BUILD_NUMBER}"
Build output directory is set to "output"
and I unlock the keychain.

There is nothing fancy in my XCode project, the build products all end up in the correct location, meaning a subfolder in the workspace named "output". Only thing missing in that folder is the ipa files.

I also encountered the same problem. The error I got was "Cannot remove *.ipa files from a non-existing directory: /Users/miniuno/jenkins/workspace/ipad_app/build/DEBUG-iphoneos". I was not sure from where the directory "DEBUG-iphoneos" got added, because I've never configured it anywhere.

But when I added a full path for "Build Output Directory" as ${WORKSPACE}/build, it started working.

The Jenkins version: 1.447
The XCode version: 4.2
The XCode Plugin version: 1.3.1

Hope this gives some clue into the problem.

Thanks,
Leena

I can confirm Leena's modification will indeed allow a slave to build an Xcode project. I had exactly the same issue until I added that option to Build Output Directory.

This is probably related to JENKINS-17457

I have xcode plugin version 1.4.8 and this is still a problem for me. Can you point me towards the fix?

Hello lacostej,

Unfortunately, we've observed the same version.
Main server is running Ubuntu 14, slave is macbook pro with Mac OS Sierra 10.12.1
Jenkins version: 2.27
Xcode plugin version: 1.4.9
Xcode version 8.1 (8B62)
project contains cocoapods

Our configuration:
Pack application and build .ipa? - YES
Clean before build? - checked both
Generate Archive? - YES
Configuration - Release
.ipa filename pattern - ${VERSION}.ipa
Output directory - ${workspace}/Builds/ipa (checked different folders)
Unlock Keychain? - checked both

As a result we've got:

• • ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED **
    Cleaning up previously generated .ipa files
    Cleaning up previously generated .dSYM.zip files
    Packaging IPA
    Finished: SUCCESS

But the ipa output folder is empty.

Thanks,
Vitali
