iOS key upload results in unusable key

[IngmarStein]

Hi,

I've set up iOS signing in the pom according to the documentation:

<phonegap-build.ios.server>digimob-ios-distribution-certificate</phonegap-build.ios.server>
<phonegap-build.ios.provision>phonegap-build/adhoc.mobileprovision</phonegap-build.ios.provision>

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.chrisprice</groupId>
    <artifactId>phonegap-build-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <iOsMobileProvision>${phonegap-build.ios.provision}</iOsMobileProvision>
        <androidSign>${phonegap-build.android.sign}</androidSign>
        <platforms>
            <platform>ios</platform>
            <platform>android</platform>
        </platforms>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>phonegap-build</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>clean</goal>
                <goal>build</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

My settings.xml contains

<server>
    <id>digimob-ios-distribution-certificate</id>
    <privateKey>${user.home}/key.p12</privateKey>
    <passphrase>…</passphrase> 
</server>

Uploading the key seems to work fine (it shows up as unlocked on build.phonegap.com):

However, the build fails with

Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginExecutionException: Execution default-cli of goal com.github.chrisprice:phonegap-build-maven-plugin:0.0.6:build failed: Build error : can't convert nil into String

And PhoneGap Build presents the dreaded "Oh geez. Your build failed." message. If I upload the very same certificate and profile using PhoneGap Build's website, the application builds just fine. Any idea what is wrong here?

No idea sorry, it looks like the server is responding with the "can't convert nil into String" message but a quick Google doesn't turn up any results from other people using the API (it appears to be a RoR message). All I can suggest is asking the PGB support what went wrong with the build?

Ok, I found the issue: the name of the p12 file must not start with a dot…
