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.<

Answer 1

I am using Atlassian Bamboo 2.7 and OS X 10.7.3 Lion and I've tried every approach found in the thread but I was still getting the "user interaction not allowed" error.

The problem was that, in a remote terminal session (as "superuser" such as in the case of Bamboo or another automated build system), the keychain that needs to be unlocked containing the signing certificates are different from what you would normal see (such as was shown by Yann in here) when you are not superuser.

What ultimately worked for me was to do the following:

1. log in as System Administrator as described here
2. create the signing-only keychain (e.g., ios.keychain)
3. add the signing certificates to it (along with the WWDRCA certificate)

Verify it by going su and running security list-keychains on the terminal. You should see the ios.keychain among the list. (sudo security list-keychains won't show the same thing):

sh-3.2# security list-keychains
"/private/var/root/Library/Keychains/login.keychain"
"/Library/Keychains/ios.keychain"
"/Library/Keychains/System.keychain"

I've found that you still have to add ios.keychain to your search scope before doing the unlock-keychain command. In your build script, have the following lines run:

KEYCHAIN=/Library/Keychains/ios.keychain
# the -s option adds $KEYCHAIN to the search scope, while the -d option adds $KEYCHAIN to the system domain; both are needed
security -v list-keychains -d system -s $KEYCHAIN 
security -v unlock-keychain -p bambooiphone $KEYCHAIN
