Running xcodebuild from a forked terminal

Question

I\'m trying to setup an automated build server for an iPhone application. I\'d like to be able to have nightly adhoc beta builds so that testers can follow the development.<

update for people running into similar issues with Jenkins:

If you set up your Mac to launch jenkins via LaunchDaemons, you need to make sure to add

SessionCreate

So the whole ci.plist would look like so:

 Label
 Jenkins
 UserName
 user
 GroupName
 staff
 ProgramArguments
 
 /usr/bin/java
 -Xmx512m
 -jar
 /path/to/jenkins/jenkins.war
 
 RunAtLoad
 
 KeepAlive
 
 EnvironmentVariables
   
     JENKINS_HOME
     /path/to/jenkins/home
   
 SessionCreate
 

I've been stuck wit the same issue as many people above have. Specifically I experienced the issue when running from a Jenkins shell script I got the same ** User interaction is not allowed ** error. When running from an ssh shell, my script worked fine.

The difference that most people have also seen is that if you run security list-keychain you'd get:

$ security list-keychain
  "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain"
  "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain"

But when running in the ssh shell, I'd get:

$ security list-keychain
    "/Users/user_account_name/Library/Keychains/login.keychain"
    "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain"

And most people will have all their keys/certs etc. in the user account keychain. Like some folks suggested it's easy to make a new key chain that is distinct from the user key chain, and reseve it for your XCode signing stuff. I ended up putting mine here: /Library/Keychains/sysiphone.keychain

I think the issue is that for my setup (and possibly for yours too), you're running in a different security preference domain (system vs. user). Finally -- here is how I got my sysiphone.keychain to show up:

$ sudo security list-keychains -d system -s "/Library/Keychains/sysiphone.keychain"
Password: *****
$ security list-keychains -d system
    "/Library/Keychains/sysiphone.keychain"

... and magically things started to build in Jenkins. Wow... that was about 4 hours down the drain for me. Sigh.
