iOS / Xcode Archive fails with: “Touch” and then “ARCHIVE FAILED”, but no other error in the 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:
