This is an issue I've been facing for the past week.
I have an M1 Mac Mini setup as a self-hosted agent to run iOS related builds/archives through Azure Pipelines.
I'm able to build/archive locally on the machine itself using terminal. Mobile provisioning and code signing are setup and working fine.
When I run the agent interactively using run.sh, I am able to run the pipeline successfully. When I try running the agent as a launchd service using ./svc.sh install -> ./svc.sh start, it always fails with the same error:
** ARCHIVE FAILED **
The following build commands failed:
ValidateEmbeddedBinary /Users/<user>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<project>/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/<app-name>/BuildProductsPath/Debug-iphoneos/<app-name>.app (in target '<app-name>' from project '<project>')
(1 failure)
##[error]Bash exited with code '65'.
The command I'm using to archive is
xcodebuild -workspace ~/repos/<project>/<project>.xcworkspace -scheme <app-name> -allowProvisioningUpdates clean archive -archivePath build/<app-name> -destination generic/platform=iOS
Again, this command works when I run it locally and when I run the agent interactively.
I removed app/project names for privacy reasons.
I've searched high and low as to why this error is occurring and I've tried virtually all suggestions to fix it. For the life of me I don't know why the command would work locally and when the agent is run interactively, but does not work when the agent is run as a launchd service.
Edit: I’ve noticed a pattern: the archive fails with that error after every successful run. In other words the command successfully archives but when I run it again, it fails. If I run it once more, it’s successful. This occurs when running it through Azure Pipelines and locally via terminal. I have no words!

Context -
We have E2E Testing running on the CI on the iPhone devices.
The script performs the following steps -
Build the Test runner app from code.
Extracts the app file from the IPA.
Re-codesign the app with the required Provision Profiles.
Creates a .xctestrun file
Uses the xcodebuild command like the following to run the test -
xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos -destination id=<device_id> -xctestrun <path_to_xctestrun_file> -resultBundlePath <path_to_test_bundle_file> test-without-building -only-testing:E2ETestsBundle.xctest/<test_filter>
The above command installs the runner and target app into the device and starts executing the test.
The apps get installed and uninstalled at each run during a single execution.
Problem -
During the execution, the xcodebuild CLI tool, suddenly loses connection to the device and is not able to install the apps into the device and then results in the following error -
Testing failed:
E2ETestsBundle.xctest:
E2ETestsBundle-Runner encountered an error (Early unexpected exit, operation never finished bootstrapping - no restart will be attempted. (Underlying Error: Test runner exited before starting test execution. If you believe this error represents a bug, please attach the log file at /var/folders/1r/0xlnbmzd0yj3m_cc7p95yb4r0000gn/T/tmpl7d9p1s6/testResults.bundle/Staging/1_Test/Diagnostics/E2ETestsBundle-Configuration-Test Scheme Action-Iteration-1/E2ETestsBundle/Session-E2ETestsBundle-2022-04-13_205520-muaMCx.log))
** TEST EXECUTE FAILED **
Points to note -
The xcodebuild CLI tool will keep on failing with the error once it occurred until recovered.
Even while the xcodebuild is in a failed state, the devices are still accessible via Xcode IDE and other CLI tools like libimobiledevice and are able to install both the test runner and target applications.
This is occurring intermittently across all devices models and across subversions of iOS 14 and 15.
Recovery -
The only way to recover is to reboot the device.
Even after a reboot, the devices start facing this exception again after a few days of execution.
As we can’t keep on rebooting the device every time before execution, we need a solution to fix this problem.
Any help would be appreciated!!
I have a bash script which ejects a react-native project, it then builds and signs an IPA before uploading that IPA to the App Store.
This script successful executes when run on a MacStadium machine that I’m developing on. This is the xcodebuild command:
xcodebuild archive -workspace $NAME.xcworkspace -allowProvisioningUpdates -scheme $NAME -configuration Release -archivePath ../builds/$NAME.xcarchive DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=$TEAM_ID CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic PROVISIONING_STYLE=Automatic PROVISIONING_PROFILE=""
However when I try to execute the script through a SSH connection using Jenkins and even Putty to the MacStadium machine I receive the following error message:
Code Signing Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to log in with account 'MY_APPLE_ID'. The login details for account 'MY_APPLE_ID' were rejected.
As I said before the script executes and signs the IPA successfully when done within the machine. So my question is, is there something happening behind the scenes when I launch the script from for a remote location (The console I am using) that could be causing a conflict with signing the IPA?
I'm working on using fastlane screengrab/snapshot to take screenshots of my android and ios app. When I run them locally on terminal, they work perfectly, but when I run them from jenkins, they fail. I'm using macOS.
Android:
/Users/shared/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -avd Pixel_API_22 &
fastlane screengrab
(These 2 are in a .sh)
The first line failed: PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please
define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
iOS:
fastlane snapshot
it failed while trying to build a test because of an provisioning profile error:
xcodebuild -showBuildSettings -scheme UITests -project ./abc.xcodeproj
(this is a command that fastlane snapshot execute automatically)
Again, they both run smoothly on terminal (I ran them in the same workspace as junkins)
Double-check the environment settings after executing your job in Jenkins: you might see differences with the same environment settings as seen with your user account in command-line (where it is working)
The username might be different (if your Jenkins server/agent runs with another account).
The OP Son Nguyen confirms the PATH issue:
the developer who set up jenkins put a wrong path to android sdk, so I was able to run the android part by fixing the path.
And the OP adds:
fastlane was installed in /usr/local/bin while jenkins was in /User/myUser: So, somehow they didn't work well together.
I reinstalled fastlane in /User/myUser and it worked.
This got it working for me.
I had to include this at the top of my script :
#!/bin/zsh
source ~/.zshrc
and my .zshrc had this:
export PATH="$PATH:"/usr/local/bin/
export SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/cert.pem # for openssl error
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/jenkins/Library/Android/sdk
I'm trying to run tests using xcodebuild through a Bamboo job script task. It opens the simulator, but it stays black and nothing happens, and the script fails due to timeout. Running the identical xcodebuild script goes fine via terminal. Here's the only related log message I was able to find:
Unable to connect to SimulatorBridge
Simulator[30414] <Error>: Unable to determine device.
Things I've already tried:
removing simulator and adding new ones
checking that bamboo agent is running under default user (which happens to be admin)
reseting simulator in advance using xcrun simctl erase
running open -a /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/ does the job. source
I'm using the Jenkins CI as build management tool on the build server and I am running my unit test cases using the below command through Jenkins.
export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator -project MyStore2.xcodeproj -scheme MyStore2 -configuration Debug RUN_APPLICATION_TESTS_WITH_IOS_SIM=YES ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO clean test 2>&1 | /usr/local/bin/ocunit2junit
The iPhone simulator is not launched from the Jenkins UI, whereas if I use the same command in command prompt, it is working fine.
The build console output is as below:
/Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/workspace/iOSUnitTestCaseSample/MyStore2/Images.xcassets

Please guide me on how to resolve this issue. Help Appreciated.
Thanks.
I've solved this in the past by using the JNLP client on the Jenkins slave and having a user logged in. My theory is that if you launch the slave agent via SSH, there is no windowing environment for the simulator to run in.
Another solution is to use ios-sim.
