Can xcodebuild manage automatic signing?

Question

SUMMARY:

If you open a project in Xcode 8 with \"Automatically manage signing\" enabled and a new bundle ID, it will automatically create and download a

Answer 1

This isn't directly supported in Xcode 8. In Xcode 9, however, you can pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to xcodebuild and automatic signing will work just as in the Xcode UI, without needing any additional tools.

e.g. cordova run ios --buildFlag="-allowProvisioningUpdates"

Answer 2

As some other answers have already mentioned, what you are looking for is a release automation tool called Fastlane. https://fastlane.tools/

If you are not familiar with it, I believe best place to get started would be raywenderlich's fastlane tutorial.

Answer 3

You can do it using fastlane.

https://fastlane.tools/

cert : Fetch or generate the latest available code signing identity

sigh : Generates a provisioning profile. Stores the profile in the current folder

ps : If you are running it from a CI server (for example jenkins) you need then to unlock login keychain :

security unlock-keychain -p PASSWORD /Users/YOUR-USER/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

Example within the fastfile :

cert(
  development: true,
)

sigh(
  development: true,
  app_identifier: "YOUR_APP_IDENTIFIER"
)

Here's an example of a basic Fastfile :

fastlane_version "2.27.0"
default_platform :ios

platform :ios do

lane :beta do
   cert
   sigh
   gym
end

error do |lane, exception|
  puts "Got an error! #{exception.error_info.to_s}"
end

end
