gym builds for App Store distribution by default, not development?

[cbowns]

Sometime in the last few days (and I'm still trying to narrow it down), my fastlane lane for an ad-hoc build to Crashlytics is outputting apps built for App Store distribution.

I'm aware of the export_options flags for gym, but I've never had to use them, and have several lanes whose ad-hoc distributions were as simple as:

  lane :crashlytics do |options|
    # Fetch the latest ad-hoc profile:
    match(type: "adhoc") # more information: https://codesigning.guide

    # use the UDID of the newly created provisioning profile
    ENV["PROFILE_UDID"] = lane_context[SharedValues::SIGH_UDID]

    # bump the build number.
    increment_build_number

    # commit the build number bump.
    commit_and_push_build_version_bump(options)

    # build the app.
    gym(
      scheme: "BOLD",
      use_legacy_build_api: true
    )

    crashlytics(…)
  end

Just now, I did a standalone invocation of gym and it produces the same thing: the exported app bundle is signed for App Store distribution. What changed? What happened? (I've tried rolling back my Gemfile.lock and bundle execing an older version of gym, but to no avail.)

Just to confirm, does it work if you pass "ad-hoc" in export_options?

[cbowns]

It doesn't seem to, unless I got this flag wrong:

# gym --scheme BOLD -j "ad-hoc" --verbose --use_legacy_build_api

The .ipa is still signed for the store:

(or from codesign:

# unzip gym-with-options.ipa

# codesign -d -vvv Payload/BOLD.app/

What happens if you run this lane?

  lane :foo do
    match(type: "adhoc")
    gym(export_method: "ad-hoc")
  end

[cbowns]

Weirdly, I still get an App Store build. And when I produce a build in the same lane in another project (I have my Fastfiles very nearly in sync), I get an ad-hoc build under all of the above cases.

What other parts of the gym/fastlane toolchain might be affecting this?

[vpolouchkine]

What happens if you just build it from Xcode or xcodebuild?

[cbowns]

Hmm, I think I still get a distribution-signed build from Xcode's Archive action.

I'm comparing this to another project, one sec.

[cbowns]

Yeah, this must be in the project somewhere. My other project builds for Development by default.

I think this is #231
