Reproducibility

  • Does a “Rebuild” help? (You can trigger a rebuild from the Build’s page, by clicking the “Rebuild” button in the top right corner of a finished build) : NO
  • Does a rebuild without caches help? (You can remove the Cache:Pull and Cache:Push steps temporarily to not to use the cache, or you can delete all the caches on the Settings tab of the app. : NO (no caches in pipeline yet)
  • Does the issue happen sporadically, or every time? : sporadically
  • Does upgrading the build Step to the latest version help? : NO (using latest)
  • When did the issue start? : yesterday

Local reproduction

_Can it be reproduced on your own Mac/PC by following our local debug guide? NO. But it fails later with Code Signing issue due to certificate-and-profile-installer Run-If .IsCI with the same exit code 65

  • Testing with a full clean git clone +
  • Test with the Bitrise CLI (1-4) +

Build log

Thanks for filling out the whole report, it helped a lot!

Found the issue in the raw-xcodebuild-output.log. You can find this file on the build’s page, in the Apps & Artifacts section/tab:

Screen_Shot_2018-02-01_at_15_35_58
Screen_Shot_2018-02-01_at_15_35_581869×199 15.2 KB

This error is one of the rare cases when the error is not at the end of the Xcode build log, but somewhere a bit above that. Around its end but like 100 lines before its end, that’s why you can’t see that in the bitrise.io build log directly (usually the error is in the last couple of lines, so to not to make the build logs even more verbose we only print the last 10 lines in the Xcode Archive step).

Anyway, so in a case like yours, when the bitrise.io build log does not include the Xcode error:

  1. Go to the Build’s page
  2. Into Apps & Artifacts section
  3. Locate and download the raw-xcodebuild-output.log (if the file’s not there please make sure you have the Deploy to Bitrise.io step in the workflow, as that’s the step which attaches this file to the build → more info: Xcode exit code 65 / exit code 66 / raw-xcodebuild-output.log - #2 by viktorbenei )
  4. Then search for error: in the raw xcodebuild output log (e.g. with grep : $ grep 'error:' ~/Downloads/raw-xcodebuild-output.log)

In your case:

$ grep 'error:' ~/Downloads/raw-xcodebuild-output.log

This means that there’s some issue with that image. The most common issue is that the .png file is not a PNG file actually, e.g. it’s actually a JPG saved with .png extension (Xcode can’t handle this).

Fix the image, commit & push and it should be fine again :wink:

If you’d have any questions just let us know!
Happy Building! :slight_smile:

Yeah, but still can’t understand how xcodebuild works locally and in addition images look just OK according to pngcheck

Also with local

bitrise run workflow-id

it’s not the case

Previous build intermediates on your own Mac might include a previous version of the image, in which case Xcode might not attempt to copy it again.
