XCProvisioner allows you to achieve the best of both worlds: to have Xcode Automatic signing while writing code and fine-grained control over the provisioning in CI.
Automatic signing (in Xcode 8) works great locally, on developer's machine, but it doesn't handle very well CI environments.
If you have set Automatic signing for your project and you try to explicitly specify a provisioning profile (for an AdHoc build, for example) to xcodebuild then you get this error:
XXX does not support provisioning profiles. XXX does not support provisioning profiles, but provisioning profile YYY has been manually specified. Set the provisioning profile value to "Automatic" in the build settings editor.
You can only disable Automatic signing in Xcode (manually). Apple doesn't provide any solution to disable Automatic signing from a script. Because of this, you have to give up on Automatic signing, which is a pity.
Here is where XCProvisioner comes handy. It allows you to use Automatic signing while developing locally, and switch to Manual signing and set the provisioning profile specifier for the targets that requires special signing care.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'xcprovisioner'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install xcprovisioner
xcprovisioner \
--project YourProject.xcodeproj \
--target TargetName \
--configuration Release \
--specifier 'Your Project AppStore Profile' \
--identity 'iPhone Distribution' \
--team 'A1B2C3D4E5'After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
