Travis: xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier

I'm trying to implement continuous integration using travis-ci.org.

Here is my current .travis.yml config:

language: swift
osx_image: xcode8.3.3
xcode_project: AutomatediOSBuild.xcodeproj #3
xcode_scheme: Debug
#xcode_sdk: iphonesimulator10.0
script:
  - xcodebuild -scheme AutomatediOSBuild -project AutomatediOSBuild.xcodeproj -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6s,OS=10.3.1' build test

But I'm getting the following error on travis:

xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
        { platform:iOS Simulator, OS:10.3.1, name:iPhone 6s }
    The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.
The command "xcodebuild -scheme myProject -project myProject.xcodeproj -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6s,OS=10.3.1' build test" exited with 70.

If I run in the command line:

xcodebuild -scheme myProject -project myProject.xcodeproj -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6s,OS=10.3.1' build test

I have no errors. Any of you knows why I'm getting this errors? or if there is any work around this error?

I'll really appreciate your help.

Solution

  • The Travis environment for xcodebuild is likely different from yours, namely you have locally the correct Simulator corresponding to your -destination option, but your Travis-ci container does not.

    The Job logs should give you a bit more info, like :

    The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.
585
586 Available destinations for the "stackoverflow" scheme:
587     { platform:iOS Simulator, id:5B...65, OS:13.2.2, name:iPad (7th generation) }
588     { platform:iOS Simulator, id:1A...DA, OS:13.2.2, name:iPhone 8 }

    Travis lists the available simulators for the selected osx_image on the documentation, and this mokacoding post gives good explanations.

    I also found out that you must give the exact OS version, e.g. in my example above:

    xcode_destination: platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 8,OS=13.2  # fails
xcode_destination: platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 8,OS=13.2.2  # works
