Build iOS problem with xcode 16.2

[mdmota]

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?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

I have already done several builds of my Flutter iOS app and the last successful one was on 01/15/2025. When I try today, I get a success email but the ipa does not upload to testflight.
Flutter 3.24.3 and xcode 16.2.
When I changed the build to xcode 16.0, everything started working correctly again.
I hope this helps you find the problem.

Expected results

Build success and upload ipa testflight

Actual results

Build success and not upload ipa testflight

Build id (optional)

Hello @mdmota,
Based on the error logs, an ipa file isn't built which is the reason there was no available file to publish.

error: exportArchive No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found

Since you are using the manual codesigning method, can you please confirm that the certificate you uploaded is an iOS Distribution Certificate? You can double check this in your Apple developer portal or try creating an iOS distribution certificate with a corresponding provisioning profile.

Also, you can try using Automatic Code Signing which makes creating and managing the certificates easier.

Yes I saw the error message. The certificates are all correct. But as I said When I changed the build to xcode 16.0, everything started working correctly again.
That is, there is an error with the build using the latest xcode using the correct certificate.

Hmmn, I see this. I can't seem to reproduce it on my end.
I tried comparing the builds on xcode 16 and that on xcode 16.2. Although the code 16.0 build passes on the build iOS step, I see that the post-processing fails with below error:

Failure: POST https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/betaAppReviewSubmissions returned 403: This request is forbidden for security reasons - The API key in use does not allow this request

which from experience occurs when the API key doesn't have the required API key permission rights. Please can you check what permission rights you have set for the .p8 file(API key)?
In order to publish successfully you will need to assign either Admin or App manager permission to your API key.
Perhaps, this could also be a reason for the issue, it's worth checking.

I will not generate a version for now. I will close the bug for now, if the problem remains I will reopen it. Thank you for your attention.
