How to fix ' *pod* does not support provisioning profiles' in azure devops build agent

Question

I currently have problem with my pipeline in Azure Devops. Since March 27th, I got the error:

error: Alamofire does not support provisioning profiles. Alamofire does not support provisioning profiles, but provisioning profile prov profile name has been manually specified. Set the provisioning profile value to "Automatic" in the build settings editor. (in target 'Alamofire')

The exact same branch have built correctly the day before.完全相同的分支在前一天正确构建。

I know the agent is still on Xcode 10.1 and I haven't update my project to 10.2 so it should be good. 我知道代理仍在 Xcode 10.1 上，我还没有将我的项目更新到 10.2，所以应该不错。

Is valid.有效。

Soooo, anyone have an idea? What is wrong with my pipeline ?

Answer 1

The issue is that the newest version of Cocoapods is trying to sign the frameworks.

Add the following code to your podfile

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY'] = ""
            config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED'] = "NO"
            config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = "NO"
        end
    end
end

For anyone working with NativeScript and macOS-11, I found that you can't uninstall cocoapods and downgrade it to a lower version. So you need to go the approach of updating the Podfile. The Podfile isn't provisioned until after you run a build at least once, so you need to build, replace with your own, then build again.
