UCB not installing PODS

Hello,

We have fully functional build with XCode but we cannot make it work with UCB.

This is the problem we are facing:

+ Installing cocoapods dependencies:
11716: ! Podfile.lock and Pods/ directory exists, skipping cocoapods install
11717: + Building with Xcode 11.3.1

Without PODS installed, the build will eventually fail.

Any ideas on why the UCB sees "Podfile.lock"? We don't have the same issue when building locally. No "Podfile.lock" file being generated.

Thanks!

 

Hey @jfmitchell I think I had something similar a long time ago.
The command I run nowadays is:
pod install --repo-update

This should force the repo to update and avoid caching issues.

 

Hi @luizb_unity How can I run or add the following command in Unity Cloud Build?

 

Sorry about the very delay answer.
Actually I learned that Unity Cloud Build will execute cocoapods automatically.
So in the end I just rely on their call instead of mine.

I guess the real question is, how are you making your build work locally?
In my setup, I execute some code that will write the pod file from scratch right after unity builds the XCode project.
When the pod file is written, I execute "pod install --repo-update":

Code (CSharp):

1. RunProcess(GetPodPath(), "install --repo-update", projectPath);

Code (CSharp):

1. private static void RunProcess(string filePath, string command, string workingDirectory)
2.         {
3.             Process process = new Process();
4.             ProcessStartInfo startInfo = process.StartInfo;
5.  
6.             startInfo.FileName = filePath;
7.             startInfo.Arguments = command;
8.  
9.             startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
10.             startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
11.             startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
12.             startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
13.             startInfo.WorkingDirectory = workingDirectory;
14.  
15.             if (startInfo.EnvironmentVariables.ContainsKey("LANG"))
16.             {
17.                 startInfo.EnvironmentVariables["LANG"] = "en_US.UTF-8";
18.             }
19.             else
20.             {
21.                 startInfo.EnvironmentVariables.Add("LANG", "en_US.UTF-8");
22.             }
23.  
24.             process.StartInfo = startInfo;
25.             process.Start();
26.  
27.             process.WaitForExit();
28.  
29.             string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
30.             string error = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
31.             var exitCode = process.ExitCode;
32.  
33.             process.Close();
34.         }

And in my case, we only use Macs, so:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static string GetPodPath()
2.         {
3.             string localPath = "/usr/local/bin/pod";
4.             if (File.Exists(localPath))
5.             {
6.                 return localPath;
7.             }
8.  
9.             const string PATH = "/usr/bin/pod";
10.             if (File.Exists(PATH))
11.             {
12.                 return PATH;
13.             }
14.  
15.             return string.Empty;
16.         }
