No other error, simply Touch … and then ** ARCHIVE FAILED **.

This issue turned out to be a Build Phase Script in the Xcode project (MG: “I found that archive process might be failing because of non-existing path in Run Script phase. I updated the script, Bitrise CLI succeeds with archiving”), but for some reason Xcode (xcodebuild) did not print any info about this.

VB: so the only thing you changed in the code was a Build Phase Script?
MG: yes
MG: But not really
MG: Previously I tried without the script attached
MG: but then probably provisionings were wrong
MG: now provisionings were correct, but it failed on the script
MG: so in the beginning there was more than 1 failure reason :wink:

@mdrakus please create a new report in #issues:build-issues and we’ll look into it asap! :slight_smile:
