Use xcodebuild (Xcode 8) and automatic signing in CI (Travis/Jenkins) environments

Question

With the release of Xcode 8, Apple introduced a new way of managing the signing configuration. Now you have two options Manual and Automatic.

Answer 1

If you are using Xcode 8.x and Jenkins for CI. Then probably you would face issue with "Signing for “YourProjectName" requires a development team. Select a development team in the project editor.

Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.1’”.** BUILD FAILED ** when running the job.

What is the solution?.

Solution is:

1. set Provisioning profile to None in Xcode project build settings.

2. In jenkins, Create a execute shell before the Xcode setting and write the below command

   sed -i '' 's/ProvisioningStyle = Automatic;/ProvisioningStyle = Manual;/' ProjectName.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj 
   

   Remember: keep that execute shell before Xcode settings in Build section of jenkins.

This works.
