[iOS Device] Unable to install the app

[zh-se]

Hi guys!

I'm new in bazel and trying to use it.

I have an app:

ios_application(
    name = "App",
    app_icons = glob([":SupportingFiles/Assets.xcassets/**"]),
    launch_storyboard = ":Resources/Storyboards/LaunchScreen.storyboard",
    minimum_os_version = "11.0",
    bundle_id = <some_valid_id>,
    infoplists = [":SupportingFiles/Info.plist"],
    entitlements = ":SupportingFiles/dev.entitlements",
    entitlements_validation = entitlements_validation_mode.error,
    provisioning_profile = ":SupportingFiles/dev.mobileprovision",
    families = [
        "iphone",
    ],
    deps = [
        ":AppLib",
    ],
    strings = glob([
        "**/*.strings",
        "**/*.stringdict",
    ]),
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

I'm able to run the app on simulator. But I cannot run it on a real device.

I do the following:

• bazel build //App:App --ios_multi_cpus=armv7,arm64
• get resulting ipa file and trying to install to device by using xCode (as it described in the tutorial)
• getting error: Unable to install "App"
• also tried to run the app from xCode (generated by Tulsi). The result the same.

But if I manually resign the ipa file then it works well.

Seems like something wrong with singing in bazel. Maybe I do something wrong.

Do you have any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.

bazel: 3.0.0 rules_apple: 0.19.0

Any clue? Something? From where can I start digging to nail the issue?

You should update your rules to HEAD. These repos no longer do releases but newer versions of bazel expect the newest rules.

If that doesn't work you should start debugging by diffing the output of codesign -dvvv THE_IPA before and after your manual resigning

I am having the same issue, I have a valid mobileprovision file and I am seeing this:

Use --sandbox_debug to see verbose messages from the sandbox
security: unable to open "Infra/TestHarness/embedded.mobileprovision" for reading: No such file or directory

I just figured out the solution. The entitlements file needs the application-identifier key, with the string value being "Team ID.App Bundle ID"

Did you set it manually in your entitlements file or is there a way Bazel can do that?

Bazel can't do it automatically for some reason, and I'm actually quite surprised they haven't fixed that by now
