YAML Configuration for Building iOS App on CodeMagic with Fastlane

[bartleby]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Fastlane

Steps to reproduce

I'm trying to build a project for which the source code is not accessible. This project comes with build instructions, and below is a part of it for running the project. The project builds and runs successfully in Xcode, but I am unable to build it on CodeMagic. I cannot figure out how to correctly compose the YAML configuration file.

Here is the relevant section of the instructions to run the project:

Basic Requirements:

iOS app compatibility: iOS 14 and above
Xcode version: 14.3.1 (not higher)
macOS version: 13 and above for optimal Xcode compatibility
External dependencies included in the project archive

Local Setup Steps:

Create or log in to the developer account on developer.apple.com with developer privileges.
Download and install Xcode, ensuring it is moved to the "Applications" folder.
Run the terminal and execute the command: sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app
Unarchive the project archive [integrators-travel-app-ios-main].
Launch the Terminal and run the command: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" to install the HomeBrew manager.
Execute the command: brew install fastlane
Navigate to the project directory using the command: cd /path/to/travel-app-ios
Run the command: fastlane initialize to install cocoapods, xcodegen, and needle.
Run the command: fastlane setup for subsequent project modifications.
In the event of encountering the prompt "The application 'project_configurator' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer," follow these additional steps:

Go to "Settings → Security and Privacy."
Choose "Open Anyway" for the "project_configurator" application.
Repeat the fastlane setup command in the terminal while in the project directory.
Upon completing these steps, the project workspace (travel-app.xcworkspace) is generated, and Xcode can be opened with it.

I have not been able to find a solution in my search.

Expected results

I expect the project to build successfully.

Actual results

I have tried specifying these commands in the YAML file, but I encounter an error.

  scripts:
    - name: Run fastlane
      script: | 
        bundle install
        bundle exec fastlane initialize
        bundle exec fastlane setup

Hi @bartleby, it is hard to say where your YAML config is incorrect without seeing the whole codemagic.yaml file. So, please share your app id (you can find it in the url: https://codemagic.io/app/YOUR_APP_ID/ ) or a build id (you can find it after triggering a build under the Build overview section unless the validation error is thrown before triggering a build), so that I can check it for you. Do not share your codemagic.yaml here, because I need to see the format that you are using when triggering a build.

hi, APP ID - 657e5c4466561410a78cdc72

Thanks for the ID.

The problem is that you are missing | after script. Your YAML snippet above in the message is correct, but your actual codemagic.yaml file does have the required |
