I am new to jenkins, I am trying to build my iOS application on simulator via jenkins. I am using this command,
xcrun xcodebuild -project Name.xcodeproj \
-scheme Name \
-sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,OS=15.5,name=iPhone 12' \
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO \
build
The build is successful but I can't see the application built on my simulator. And How can I build the same app on real device via jenkins?
The command that you are running will build the application FOR the simulator (this usually means that it will build the application for the 64-bit architecture).
That doesn't mean that it will actually copy/install the application to the simulator for you, its literally just building the application with that architecture so that it is compatible with the simulator.
To build for device, replace your destination with -destination generic/platform=iOS you would also need code signing

I am facing a strange issue:
I am trying to build using this xcode command
xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination ‘id={deviceID}' test
But every time I run this command I see an unusual prompt that shows up in the next line --
quote]
I am not sure what quote means and what I am expected to enter. I tried entering other device attributes but still it din help me .
Could some one please help me?
As far as I understand your provided information you are trying to start a test on a real device. Tests are executed on simulator only, which is why Xcode tells you it's not able to build your project.
Try something like this instead:
xcodebuild \
-project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj \
-scheme WebDriverAgentRunner \
-sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=8.1' \
test
As you can see this command tries to build your project on an iPhone 6 simulator with iOS 8.1 installed. You can define this to your liking (e.g. OS=13.0 or another iPhone/iPad).
You can give these reads a try, too, for more examples and a better understanding:

I wanted to build and launch my iOS app using a shell script and not Xcode. My question is the similar to this question: How to launch an iOS app in the simulator without XCode rebuilding the app, which was asked in 2012.
It says that the IPA file created in build directory within the project directory can be used. I could not find a build directory inside my project folder. Also, I want to build the app from a script.
What is the most latest way of building and running an app on simulator using terminal commands?
Edit:
I built the app from command line:
xcrun xcodebuild \
-scheme UITestingTutorial \
-project UITestingTutorial.xcodeproj \
-configuration Debug \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 11,OS=13.6' \
-derivedDataPath \
build
But how do I launch it now?
Running this script inside your project directory will launch the app programmatically.
xcrun xcodebuild \
-scheme UITestingTutorial \
-project UITestingTutorial.xcodeproj \
-configuration Debug \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 11,OS=13.6' \
-derivedDataPath \
build
open -a "Simulator"
# This simulator id has been manually found
# by running 'xcrun simctl list' and searching
# for iPhone 11 under iOS 13.6 under Devices
# A script can be written to automatically find this.
xcrun instruments -w 3100E7BC-0B95-4B3E-B0DC-8743FFCB731A
xcrun simctl install 3100E7BC-0B95-4B3E-B0DC-8743FFCB731A ./build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/UITestingTutorial.app (http://uitestingtutorial.app/)
xcrun simctl launch 3100E7BC-0B95-4B3E-B0DC-8743FFCB731A com.codepro.UITestingTutorial
You can refer to Launch apps in iOS Simulator using Terminal for more details. Please note the xctool is deprecated.
I have the following goal to achieve: build and run an .app application using xcodebuild and ios-sim.
I'm using the following script to build the application.
xcrun xcodebuild \
-scheme $XCODE_SCHEME \
-project $XCODE_PROJECT \
-configuration Debug \
-destination generic/platform=iOS \
-derivedDataPath \
build
Then for running it, I'm using
ios-sim launch MyApp.app/ --devicetypeid "iPhone-6-Plus, 9.1"
Each time I receive the following message:
Program specified by service does not contain one of the requested
architectures: ?
What is happening, that the app doesn't run?
Note: if I run the second command (ios-sim...) against the .app built from Xcode (the one contained in derived data) the procedure works fine.
Ok. Figured out the issue.
You need to specify the correct destination. For example.
xcrun xcodebuild \
-scheme $XCODE_SCHEME \
-project $XCODE_PROJECT \
-configuration Debug \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6 Plus,OS=9.1' \
-derivedDataPath \
build
In this way Xcode will create the folder (called build) containing your products (in particular look at Debug-iphonesimulator). The build dir is created within the dir you are running the xcodebuild command.
Now you can point that folder in order to run the ios-sim command (see ios-sim for more references) or simctl (see iOS 8: Building custom simulators and Build And Run iOS Apps In Commmand Line for more info).
I am using below command :
xcodebuild -project $PROJECT_NAME.xcodeproj -scheme $PROJECT_NAME -sdk iphonesimulator -configuration Debug
xcodebuild -project $PROJECT_NAME.xcodeproj -scheme $PROJECT_NAME -sdk iphoneos -configuration Debug
for building the application it's working but I need to build our application with iphone/ipad retina 64 bit but it' not working.
for combining
lipo -create "${WS_DIR}/Build/Debug-iphoneos/libRPCCore.a" "${WS_DIR}/Build/Debug-iphonesimulator/libCore.a" -output "${WS_DIR}/Build/RPCLib/libCore.a"
I am not able to build the application for ipad/ipahone retina 64 bit application using terminal command. please help to create the build script.
I suspect this is because you have Build Active Architecture Only set for Debug mode, which is the default setting I believe. This is because there is no need to build for all architectures during debugging as the build is expected to run only on the device being used for debugging.
This is normally turned off for release and you can test this from the command line by using -configuration Release.
BTW I don't believe you need to specify the -sdk option to xcodebuild as the build settings should have that covered.
Question - short version:
Why won't my build phase scripts be executed when creating an IPA from the command line?
When I'm running xcodebuild to create an IPA the predefined build phase scripts does not get executed. Why is that?
Question - lengthy version:
I have a workspace with a scheme I want to create an IPA out of from command line.
This works fine except for one thing; I have two scripts in the build phases of the target that is used to put the correct app version (CFBundleShortVersionString) and the correct svn revision number (CFBundleVersion). These to scripts works fine when archiving from xcode but for some reason they do not get run when archiving from command line.
First of all why is that?
Here are the scripts that are working (if archiving form xCode)
When archiving and creating the IPA from the command line I do (the essentials)
# Building
xcodebuild ARCHS="armv7 armv7s" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -workspace MyWorkspace.xcworkspace/ -scheme MyScheme CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR} -configuration Release clean build
# Creating IPA
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v "${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.app" -o "${IPA_OUTPUT_PATH}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.ipa"
It works and creates an IPA but none of the build phase scripts gets executed leaving both the revision number and version number untouched.
All suggestions are appreciated!
UPDATE DUE TO BDASH's ANSWER
Instead of making a clean build I make an install as
xcodebuild install ARCHS="armv7 armv7s" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -workspace MyWorkspace.xcworkspace/ -scheme MyScheme CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR} -configuration Release
The predefined script will IN FACT be executed (can be seen in the project version number) with no errors during the install. However the created IPA will have a size of ~300 bytes (instead of ~10MB) and cannot be installed on a device.
Building the app before installing it, i.e.
# Building
xcodebuild clean build ARCHS="armv7 armv7s" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -workspace MyWorkspace.xcworkspace/ -scheme MyScheme CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR} -configuration Release
# Installing
xcodebuild install ARCHS="armv7 armv7s" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -workspace MyWorkspace.xcworkspace/ -scheme MyScheme CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR} -configuration Release
and then creating the IPA will result in an IPA with executed version script and of correct size BUT it is not possible installing it on a device. Trying to put it on a device will give an error message saying
"The program "MyApp" was not installed on you iPhone device "My Device" because an unknown error has occurred."
You have "Run script only when installing" checked for at least one of the script phases. That phase won't be run when using the build action to xcodebuild, only if using the install action.
