Error when building ios application using fastlane remotely

Question

i am trying to fix an error which i get when i try to ssh into mac-mini and run fastlane remotely.

The following build commands failed:

CodeSign /Users/ec2-user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<projectname>/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/<project>/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/<projectname>.appex

builtin-RegisterExecutionPolicyException /Users/ec2- 
user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<projectname>

Touch /Users/ec2-user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<projectname>

cd /Users/ec2-user/Documents/<projectname>
/usr/bin/touch -c /Users/ec2-user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<projectname>

Similar project runs and builds perfectly fine when i vnc into mac-mini and then run fastlane from mac-mini, the difference i noticed initialy was, it was asking me to specify keychain password, i did that and specifed always allow so it never asks me for password, but issue still persist if i ssh into mac-mini and run fastlane.

Any suggestions on this please.

Answer 1

This command eventually worked for me and the issue was around unlocking the remote keychain before running fastlane build

Run below commands on remote server once ssh is complete

export KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD='your_keychain_passsword' 

sudo security unlock-keychain -p $KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

where $KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD holds the password for your keychain
