MacOS VSTS Agent doesn't build successfully when triggered from Visual Studio Online

krishna0209 commented 6 years ago

One of our VSTS MacOS Agent fails to build through VSO although local build works just fine. I’ve searched online and it seems like the most common cause of this is an XCode/Xamarin update which requires you to manually install some components but I have no such issues on the Mac Agent. I have another Mac that works just fine when triggered from VSO, running on same OS, XCode & Xamarin version.

Steps to Reproduce

Setup Mac as a VSO Agent (follow instructions on Xamarin Docs)
Run a Xamarin project build locally (works)
Trigger a build from VSO of the same project (doesn't work)

Expected Behavior

Successfully being able to build the project

Actual Behavior

Xamarin project fails to build when triggered from VSO
