Resolved Error pushing build to Apple App Store

Resolved. Fixed this be changing my TARGET_NAME to default-ios

Greetings devs,

I have an iOS game that I've been pushing to the Apple App Store using a Windows application called Apple App Uploader. The app was free for a year but my trial period has ended.

I stumbled across this bash script that I can add to the post-build step of my cloud build to push the app to the app store:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Uploading IPA to Appstore Connect..."
#Path is "/BUILD_PATH/<ORG_ID>.<PROJECT_ID>.<BUILD_TARGET_ID>/.build/last/<BUILD_TARGET_ID>/build.ipa"
path="$WORKSPACE/.build/last/$TARGET_NAME/build.ipa"
if xcrun altool --upload-app -t ios -f $path -u $ITUNES_USERNAME -p $ITUNES_PASSWORD ; then
echo "Upload IPA to Appstore Connect finished with success"
else
echo "Upload IPA to Appstore Connect failed"
fi

I've put the script in my project, updated my build number and pushed the changes to my repo. Added the specified environment variables and run the build. It fails with what looks to be two issues:
1. It's not finding the build at the specified path
2. It's failing to authorize (I am using an app-specific-password I created for my account).

*** Error: Error uploading '/opt/workspace/workspace/greg-bradburn.ninjaeggs-ios.default-ios/.build/last/iOS/build.ipa'.
*** Error: Unable to upload archive. The file '/opt/workspace/workspace/greg-bradburn.ninjaeggs-ios.default-ios/.build/last/iOS/build.ipa' cannot be found. (-43)
*** Error: Unable to upload archive. Failed to get authorization for username 'NinjaEggs31' and password. (
"Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=0 \"Status code: 0\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Status code: 0, NSLocalizedFailureReason=The auth server returned a bad status code.}"
NSLocalizedFailureReason = "Failed to get authorization for username 'NinjaEggs31' and password. (\n \"Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=0 \\\"Status code: 0\\\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Status code: 0, NSLocalizedFailureReason=The auth server returned a bad status code.}\"\n)";

Here are relevant config settings for my cloud build:






Anyone on this forum push their game to iOS via cloud build that can tell from these errors what I need to change to get it working?

Thanks,

Your environment variable 'TARGET_NAME' needs to match the name of your cloud build configuration.

At the moment you have it set to 'iOS' but it should be 'default_ios' which is the name of your config (spaces are replaced with underscores and it's all lowercase)

I'm not sure about the password error but it might just be because you have a bad build path. Try it again with the above fix and see how you get on.

 

Yeah, figured that part out. I generated a new app-specific password and have updated the environment variables accordingly. I think the ITUNES_USERNAME needs to be the email address for my Apple Developer account and the ITUNES_PASSWORD needs to be the app-specific password. I've kicked off a new build with those settings so we'll see how it goes.

 

It worked. The build completed successfully and was pushed to the App Store!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

 

FWIW, I've been using the following open source utility to upload to the store...

https://github.com/simonnilsson/ios-uploader

The repo page even has links to numerous binaries, if you don't fancy messing around with Node.js

That said, that bash script is nice and simple and easily integrated with UCB by the looks of it. Nice find!

 

If anyone else stumbles here and doesn't have any luck with the correct password, try the following which worked for me, without changing the password - note I was porting over this system from a different project so maybe the first time with a new title:

• Make sure the App is setup in iTunesConnect, and in the Testflight section, try adding all the test information (though will probably always show a warning), and setup an internal testing group
• Try to do it again, it might work the second time after failing
