Getting IOS development build error

Question

Development build get the following error during export, it shows that archive succeeded. Also the app store distribution build passes. I used the cert tool to generate all certs for this.

The full build log is here: Build log

Here is the messages that look like the cause of the failure:


** ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED **

Not sure how to fix this.

It looks like you checked the ios.includePush option in the GUI but didn't activate it in the provisioning as far as I can tell. But I'm not sure. Was the certificate/provisioning generated with the wizard? Did you successfully build in the past? Notice that they expire annually and need to be regenerated. — Shai Almog
I did have the wizard generate them, but didn't have it generate the push cert since I have a current production push cert. There is no development push cert. The profiles both support push. If I let the wizard generate push will it revoke my old one. I dont want that to happen. — sam
On a hunch, try setting the ios.pods.platform build hint. E.g. ios.pods.platform=7.0 and see if that fixes the error — steve hannah
Also, please try to temporarily remove the flurry cn1lib (and comment out code that uses it), and see if it builds ok then. It is possible that the Flurry cn1lib needs to be updated to use Cocoapods. — steve hannah
I tried ios.pods.platform, not help. Removed flurry, not help. Removed admob and can now build. Maybe flurry and admob need to be updated? How can these get updated? — sam

This was a problem with new Xcode requirements on static libraries. The Admob and Flurry static libs were compiled with an older version of Xcode which didn't include LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS run commands, and ipatool now crashes if it encounters a library that doesn't include this.

I have updated both the Admob and the Flurry cn1libs to use Cocoapods instead of the static library directly, and this will fix the issue. These will be available in Codename One Settings after the next server update (this week). If you need them before then, you can download and install the cn1libs directly:

I have also made some changes on the build server to add a more descriptive error message when it detects this scenario. That will also be updated in the next build server update.
