Solving Shorebird Build Issues in Flutter with CodeMagic for iOS Apps

Are you struggling to release your Flutter iOS app using the Shorebird action in CodeMagic? You're not alone. Many developers encounter various issues while navigating the integration of these tools, particularly regarding build errors that can stall progress. In this guide, we'll delve into a common issue related to iOS builds with Shorebird and outline a clear solution.

Understanding the Problem

While trying to conduct a release for your iOS app with the Shorebird action, you may encounter a build failure with the following error:

This warning indicates that although the iOS support is still in the alpha phase, the specific failure mentions issues with missing accounts or provisioning profiles, which are essential for successful iOS builds.

Analyzing the Workflow

Your CodeMagic workflow setup is crucial for successfully building your Flutter application. The workflow you provided shows that you correctly specified the environment variables and even attempted to use the correct versions of Flutter and Xcode. However, the build process is dependent on several factors such as code signing and provisioning profiles.

Key Points from the Workflow:

Environment Booleans: You've initiated your iOS build using a dedicated instance type (mac_mini_m1).

Provisioning Profiles: Specifying profiles and certificates is vital. Ensure these are correctly set and match with what is expected in your Xcode project settings.

CocoaPods and other dependencies are managed which is a step in the right direction.

Providing the Right Solution

To tackle the failed build issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Adjust Shorebird Build Command

The main fix to your issue is to add a specific parameter to the Shorebird release command. Integrate the --export-options-plist parameter, which refers to the signing options used during the export of the archive.

Here is how your adjusted .yml structure should look:

Why This Works

The addition of -- --export-options-plist=/Users/builder/export_options.plist ensures that the build process has a clear path laid out towards where it can find the right signing options. These options might include details like the provisioning profiles, entitlements, and even certificates needed to sign your app properly.

Step 2: Verify Provisioning and Certificates

After modifying the build command, make sure:

Your provisioning profiles are up to date.

The associated certificates are correctly linked within your CodeMagic project settings. Having mismatched or expired profiles can result in the same errors.

Conclusion

With proper adjustments in the build command and ensuring all necessary profiles and certificates are in order, you should be able to resolve issues surrounding the Shorebird Build step in CodeMagic. Navigating iOS builds can be tricky, especially with the evolving nature of tools like Shorebird, but with these steps, you can ensure a more seamless release process for your Flutter app.

If you're still facing issues, make sure to check the Shorebird documentation for any other specific instructions or updates regarding iOS support.

Happy coding, and best of luck with your Flutter projects!
