Failed xcode-project use-profiles Step

[pavelBuzdanov]

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?

iOS (Swift, Objective-C)

Steps to reproduce

1. My .yaml configuration

    publishing:
        app_store_connect:
            auth: integration
            submit_to_testflight: false
        email:
            recipients:
              - ****
            notify:
              success: true
              failure: true

2. Until today everything worked fine. but now this error occurs when xcode-project use-profiles

Expected results

Successfully build ipa for distribution

Hello @pavelBuzdanov,
Please can you confirm everywhere in your application that your bundleID is set to - com.louderapp?

[dam-ease]

Apologies for not responding earlier.
I see it still reproduces. In your Set up code signing settings on Xcode project step, can you please use the command below instead as well:

xcode-project use-profiles --project ios/<project_name>.xcodeproj

(i.e. path to your .xcodeproj folder). This is just to confirm that the actual ios xcodeproj is being signed.
Also, although from I can see in your logs that DualLock.xcodeproj is being used but missing TargetDependency:

Configure code signing settings for project 'DualLock.xcodeproj'

==================================================
Handling dependencies for target 'DualLock' of type com.apple.product-type.application
	Dependency: TargetDependency
No dependency target nor target_proxy found for TargetDependency

Can you try regenerating the iOS folder in your project? Perhaps this could help with regenerating this.

[pavelBuzdanov]

It doesn’t help. It’s a clear iOS project, not a React project. I have tried specifying the path to the project, but it didn’t help either.

[pavelBuzdanov]

@dam-ease All the same. Did not work with project that created on xcode 16+

[pavelBuzdanov]

I found the answer. Xcode 16 uses folders instead of groups. If you want to build build with codemagic envelope folders to groups
