How to Dynamically Set iOS Bundle Identifier Based on Workflow Inputs?

[ChauCM]

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 need to dynamically set the ios_signing.bundle_identifier based on workflow inputs to avoid creating separate workflows for each bundle ID combination.

This approach does NOT work:

workflows:
  ios-build:
    inputs:
      app_variant:
        type: choice
        options: [app-a, app-b]
    environment:
      ios_signing:
        distribution_type: app_store
        bundle_identifier: com.example.${{ inputs.app_variant }}

Question

How can I dynamically set the iOS bundle identifier based on workflow inputs? Is there a way to achieve this, similar to how Android PACKAGE_NAME can be set dynamically?

Currently I have to create separate workflows for each bundle ID combination.

Expected results

working

Actual results

Error: No matching profiles found for bundle identifier "com.example.${{ inputs.app_variant }}"

Build id (optional)

No response

Hello @ChauCM please share a build id so i can look into your whole configuration. As the above approach works for me as expected

Actually, the problem is that I'mtrying to use conditional expressions in the bundle_identifier

workflows:
  ios-staging-workflow:
    name: iOS Staging Build
    inputs:
      app_variant:
        description: Select app variant
        type: choice
        options: [variant_a, variant_b]
        default: variant_a
      user_type:
        description: Select user type
        type: choice
        options: [admin, user]
        default: user
    integrations:
      app_store_connect: My App Store API Key
    environment:
      ios_signing:
        distribution_type: app_store
        bundle_identifier: com.example.${{ inputs.app_variant == 'variant_a' && 'moduleX' || 'moduleY' }}.${{ inputs.user_type == 'admin' && 'admins' || 'users' }}.staging
      flutter: 3.35.6

No matching profiles found for bundle identifier "com.example.${{ inputs.app_variant == 'variant_a' && 'moduleX' || 'moduleY' }}.${{ inputs.user_type == 'admin' && 'admins' || 'users' }}.staging" and distribution type "app_store"

@dtrdic let's say I have two apps that share the same codebase but different flavors with different bundle identifiers. How do I build them in one build run?

[dtrdic]

Hi @ChauCM then you need to define build inputs for all variables that should change between your apps/flavors.
For example;

ios-workflow:
      name: iOS Workflow
      instance_type: mac_mini_m2
      max_build_duration: 120
      integrations:
        app_store_connect: xxxxx
      inputs:
        bundle_id:
          description: Select bundle id
          type: choice
          options: [com.example.test1, com.example.test2]
        flavor:
          description: Select flavor
          type: choice
          options: ["developement", "production"]
        submitToTestFlight:
          description: Send build to AppStore for review 
          type: boolean
          default: false
        schemeName:
            description: Select scheme name to use
            type: choice
            options: ["Scheme1", "Scheme2"]
        app_id:
            description: Select the variable group name to be used
            type: choice
            options: ["1234", "5678", "9876"]
            default: 1234
      environment:
        flutter: stable
        ios_signing:
          distribution_type: app_store
          bundle_identifier: ${{ inputs.bundle_id }}
      scripts:
        - name: Set up code signing settings on Xcode project 
          script: |
            xcode-project use-profiles
        - name: Get Flutter packages
          script: | 
            flutter packages pub get
        - name: Install pods
          script: | 
            find . -name "Podfile" -execdir pod install \;
        - name: Run tests
          script: | 
            xcode-project run-tests \
            --workspace "ios/Runner.xcworkspace" \
            --scheme "${{ inputs.schemeName }} \
            --device "$TEST_DEVICE" \
            --test-flags="-quiet"
        - name: versioning
          script: | 
            LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER=$(($(app-store-connect get-latest-app-store-build-number "${{ inputs.app_id }}") + 1))
            cd ./ios
            agvtool new-version -all $(($LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER))
        - name: Flutter build ipa and automatic versioning
          script: |
            flutter build ipa --release \
              --build-name=1.3.$(($LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER)) \
              --build-number=$(($LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER)) \
              --export-options-plist=/Users/builder/export_options.plist \
              --flavor=${{ inputs.flavor }} 
      artifacts:
        - /tmp/xcodebuild_logs/*.log
        - /tmp/xcodebuild_logs/iosApp.log
        - $HOME/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/**/Build/**/*.app
        - /Users/builder/clone/build/ios/ipa/*.ipa
        - flutter_drive.log
      publishing:
        app_store_connect:
          auth: integration 
          submit_to_testflight: false 
          submit_to_app_store: ${{ inputs.submitToTestFlight }}

Just please note Codemagic will still produce two separate builds (one per flavor).
