Xcode Cloud not building my Flutter Project

Question

I'm encountering a problem when building my Flutter application using Xcode Cloud. During the build process, I get the following error:

 Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code 

To provide more context, this is the content of my ci_post_clone.sh file:

    #!/bin/sh

    # The default execution directory of this script is the ci_scripts directory.
    cd $CI_WORKSPACE # change working directory to the root of your cloned repo.
    
    # Install Flutter using git.
    git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git --depth 1 -b stable $HOME/flutter
    export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/flutter/bin"
    
    # Install Flutter artifacts for iOS (--ios), or macOS (--macos) platforms.
    flutter precache --ios
    
    # Install Flutter dependencies.
    flutter pub get
    
    # Install CocoaPods using Homebrew.
    HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 # disable homebrew's automatic updates.
    brew install cocoapods
    
    # Install CocoaPods dependencies.
    cd ios 
    pod install # run `pod install` in the `ios` directory.
    
    exit 0

I followed the steps of https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/cd#xcode-cloud and added all the necessary parts.

I've tried searching for solutions to this issue but couldn't find any helpful information. Can anyone provide guidance on how to resolve this error?

Answer 1

It's difficult to determine the exact cause of the error without additional information, but here are a few suggestions that might help you resolve the issue:

1. Check the Xcode Cloud logs: Xcode Cloud provides detailed logs of the build process. You can access them by clicking on the "Build logs" button on the top right corner of the Xcode Cloud console. Look for any error messages or warnings that might give you a clue about what went wrong.

2. Check if there are any missing dependencies: Make sure that you have installed all the necessary dependencies for your Flutter project. Check your pubspec.yaml file and ensure that all dependencies are specified correctly.

3. Check if there are any conflicts between Flutter and Xcode: Make sure that you are using compatible versions of Flutter and Xcode. Check the Flutter documentation to see which versions of Xcode are supported.

4. Try cleaning and building the project again: Sometimes, cleaning the build directory and rebuilding the project can resolve build issues. In Xcode, go to Product > Clean Build Folder and then try building the project again.

5. Check if there are any build scripts that are causing issues: Make sure that your build scripts are configured correctly. Check the Xcode Cloud documentation to ensure that your build scripts are compatible with Xcode Cloud.

If none of the above suggestions help, consider reaching out to the Flutter community forums or Xcode Cloud support for additional assistance.
