xcodebuild is not compiling the project unless it is opened using Xcode atleast only once for cocoapods integrated project

I have a project with cocoa pods.

Here is the command that I use to build the project.

/usr/bin/xcodebuild -scheme Jenkins -workspace /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Documents/Jenkins/Jenkins2/Jenkins.xcworkspace -configuration Release clean build CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=/Users/Shared/Jenkins/Documents/JenkinsTestNuu/app 'CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=iPhone Distribution: XXXX yay (3G5FKTZJ2K)' PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER=com.XXXX.two PROVISIONING_PROFILE=6e6506e9-8233-4886-9084-ce21e8f8bbae

The above script works good only if the project has been opened using Xcode atleast once after that Xcode can be closed no issues.

If the project has not been opened then If I run the script the wheel is spinning below without any progress forever for example in the below image

problem

if its opened once instead of the spinning wheel below texts would be shown below

=== CLEAN TARGET XWebView OF PROJECT Pods WITH CONFIGURATION Release ===

Check dependencies

Clean.Remove clean /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Documents/JenkinsTestNuu/app/XWebView.framework.dSYM builtin-rm -rf /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Documents/JenkinsTestNuu/app/XWebView.framework.dSYM

Clean.Remove clean /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Documents/JenkinsTestNuu/app/XWebView.framework builtin-rm -rf /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Documents/JenkinsTestNuu/app/XWebView.framework

=== CLEAN TARGET Pods OF PROJECT Pods WITH CONFIGURATION Release ===

Check dependencies etc...

The problem is not observed in any non-cocoapods project.

So what would be the cause and how to solve it ?

Solution

  • You need to run pod install before building the project so that CocoaPods fetches the Pods specified in your Podfile within the Jenkins workspace.
