Question

for some strange reason, my project can only build with signingOption = default, but if I need to archive it, I must provisioningProfiles in the export plist.

reproduce this situation:

1. create a blank unity project

variables:
  - group: TestProject

  - name: System.Debug
    value: true

trigger:
  - main

jobs:
  - job: ExportXcodeProject
    pool:
      vmImage: "ubuntu-latest"
    steps:
      - checkout: self
        path: s/TestProject

      - task: Cache@2
        inputs:
          key: "Library-iOS"
          path: "$(Agent.BuildDirectory)/s/TestProject/Library"

      - script: bash "scripts/ios-build/prepare.sh"
        env:
          AGENT_BUILDDIRECTORY: $(Agent.BuildDirectory)
        # git clone https://github.com/game-ci/unity-builder.git --depth=1 $AGENT_BUILDDIRECTORY/s/unity-builder

      - script: tree $(Agent.BuildDirectory)

          xcWorkspacePath: "$(Agent.BuildDirectory)/s/TestProject/build/iOS/iOS/Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj"

          useXcpretty: false
          signingOption: 'default'  # my problem

          teamId: "$(TestProject.AppleTeamId)"
          packageApp: true
          exportOptions: "auto"  # my problem

I can not set PROVISIONING_PROFILE or PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER during the build step because there are two targets in the exported xcode project, and one of them needs a sign, but the other doesn't.

and I need to set signingOptionForExport because if I need to archive the app, singing is required.

Hi @ExerciseBook, thanks for the question, as I see from sources when you choose the "signingOption" as 'default' you still can manage signingOptionForExport and set it to manual with exportOptions: "auto".

When signingOptionForExport is default we determine the signing using ".pbxproj" file. The file itself we looking it here and in the file itself we're looking for the ProvisioningStyle manual string. In that case, "provisioningProfiles" will be added in your export plist

[ExerciseBook]

yes you are right,

we can see that, the provisioningProfiles will add only when signingOptionForExport === 'manual')

https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/blob/609873a3cf6a8730806cad3e7d873686799a8c98/Tasks/XcodeV5/xcode.ts#L439

but signingOptionForExport depend on signingOption

https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/blob/609873a3cf6a8730806cad3e7d873686799a8c98/Tasks/XcodeV5/xcode.ts#L428

so I have no idea about setting the provisioningProfiles for archive.

finally, I work around by setting a plist file

I am not very sure if it is a desire to add a separate task input for setting signingOptionForExport strategy
