Ios11+xcode9 build fail

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

Before yesterday, everything was OK.
Yesterday, I updated Xcode to version 9 and iPhone 6 s plus to iOS11.

when I run command “cordova build ios --release --buildConfig build.json” to build ios, it build fail, and the error message is :

Does anybody know what is this problem?

Did you define any developer id for your app with Xcode ?

Yes, I had defined as follow:

{
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "*****************************",
            "packageType": "development",
            "provisioningProfile": "*****************************",
            "buildFlag": [
                "EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = YES",
                "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES=NO",
                "LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = \"@executable_path/Frameworks\""
            ]
        },
        "release": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "*****************************",
            "packageType": "app-store",
            "provisioningProfile": "*****************************",
            "buildFlag": [
                "EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = YES",
                "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES=NO",
                "LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = \"@executable_path/Frameworks\""
            ]
        }
    }
}

‘*****************************’ means secret messge

Same build failure here. This will probably bite many devs.

5

Same error here. Waiting for the solution.

6

Same error here! I’m using the newest xcode

error: exportArchive: "MyApp.app" requires a provisioning profile.

Have you try define the provisioning profile manually in Xcode and then to define it again to automatic? I’ve the feeling that this operation sometimes set back to provisioning profile correctly again, but no warranty that it’ll work

p.s.: could confirm I don’t face this problem, I was able to build my app after having upgraded to Xcode 9

p.p.s.: if that could help, my infos

Also getting the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

And without --release, does it work?

On iOS I never use this. I use it on android only.

10

For me, simply running cordova build ios fails.

11

I’m able to build and release an update with Xcode9 and run on ios11.

Xcode9 did loose a lot of my config but opening my xcodeproj file in Xcode and tinkering with things did help.

Despite Xcode showing my signing cert and provisioning profile, I had to uncheck and recheck the little checkbox.

Then Xcode9 requires a 1024x1024 icon now. running ionic resources ios would not generate this, so I made one manually and then opened up Images.xcassets file in my xcode project and dragged the 1024 icon onto the placeholder.

[EDIT]: looks like ionic cli 3.11 fixes this resource issue: Ionic CLI 3.11.0

Built and submitted an update yesterday.

12

It also build fail without --release

13

But when I use cordova command line to build release, it fail.

Yes, it can be built at xcode9

14

An icon so big? Source?

15

It’s the icon for the App Store listing, you’re suppose to include it on your app bundle now, not upload to itunesconnect - the change was announced at WWDC 17 they say:

https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/icons-and-images/app-icon/

Thx for finding that!

Look like 3.12.0 solve the icon question:

P.S.: Yep, it creates a 1024x1024 icon and add an entry about it in config.xml
