Build / Publish failed with SquareInAppPaymentsSDK

[mattcyw]

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

1. Build and publish without SquareInAppPaymentsSDK - Success
2. Optional: switch to Square starter project: https://github.com/square/in-app-payments-flutter-plugin/tree/master/example
3. Replace Square application id in config.dart
4. Add SquareInAppPaymentsSDK ^1.7.11 to pubspec.yaml as dependency
5. modify PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER in project.pbxproj

Got the "No such File or Directory" error during build phase:
/Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-ftaxmctdnaotgyghgifbvdqozrum/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Runner/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Runner.build/Release-iphoneos/Runner.build/Script-FB98E3402C208BCF00104568.sh: line 8: /Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-ftaxmctdnaotgyghgifbvdqozrum/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Runner/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/Runner.app/Frameworks/SquareInAppPaymentsSDK.framework/setup: No such file or directory

6. login to build machine with VNC client
7. locate the actual filepath as: /Users/builder/clone/ios/Pods/SquareAppPaymentsSDK/XCFrameworks/SquareAppPaymentsSDK.xcframework/ios-arm64/SquareInAppPaymentsSDK.framework/setup
8. modify project.pbxproj to run the setup script above

Receive publish error:
'Runner.app/Frameworks/SquareInAppPaymentsSDK.framework' contains disallowed nested bundles. (ID: 6a60ff53-8d8a-4f12-9418-a50a6792526e)

I have run out of idea about how to make Codemagic and SquareInAppPaymentsSDK work together, million thanks in advance for your help and attention.

Expected results

publish successfully to Test Flight

Actual results

Either receive error in build or publish phase as described above

I missed to put my pre-build scripts here, it also works before adding the SquareInAppPaymentsSDK:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

cd example/ios

pod deintegrate
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*

rm -f Podfile.lock
rm -rf Pods/
rm -rf Runner.xcworkspace

pod cache clean --all
flutter clean
flutter pub get
pod install --repo-update

cd ..

That's not a Codemagic issue, the error comes from your project itself, and you would likely reproduce the same error if you were building on a local Mac.

At this point, it’s better to check the official discussion page of the plugin. Try checking if you’re missing this import:
import 'package:built_collection/built_collection.dart';

Check this for reference

I have given up building my own codebase, instead I tried to build the official minimal code sample app from Square, but the behavior is still the same:
https://github.com/square/in-app-payments-flutter-plugin/tree/master/example

1. cannot locate the setup scipt correctly using relative path
2. when I find out the absolute path and run the script, build success but publish failed with signing error
3. when I skip running the setup script, build success but again but publish failed with signing error

I just tried to build again and confirm the SquareInAppPaymentsSDK.framework folder does not exist at all, is there any chance that an additional script or order of script has to be added or modified for framework like the Square SDK?

That's the exact error that you've reported from the beginning

And you can see the users have been reporting the same error here. It's not a Codemagic-specific issue, that's why i suggested is better to ask on the official discussion page of the plugin

Check also this discussion if it helps

It turns out my pre-build script was cleaning stuff too aggressively.
The minimal pre-build script to have the .lock files generated without a local environment is:

cd ios
rm -f Podfile.lock
pod repo update
pod install
cd ..
