I was able to build fine until after updating npm/node/cordova/xcode.I am not sure which versions were working previously and now am having the below error when attempting to $remotebuild test --device

The following error message happens when attempting to run remotebuild test --device on the Macbook :

users-MacBook-Pro-2:piapp userUser$ remotebuild test --device

Things I have tried :

1. New provisioning profiles
2. New Certs
3. Removed & Regenerated Keys in Keychain / Profiles in Xcode
4. Removed cached files in .taco-home/node_modules
5. remotebuild reset cert
6. remotebuild generate cert
7. platform uninstall & reinstall
8. remotebuild uninstall & reinstall
9. going backwards & forwards multiple versions

Windows Machine

I am also getting the error 65 from the windows machine when attempting to run remote build... ( Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.0' ) -- code signing was working correctly until attempting to update node/npm/cordova

Answer 1

I found the answer here:

1. Removed a hook i had added as a fix which was failing...
2. Ran repair on cordova tools & visual studio
3. Finally the fix: Removed the first 3 bytes from build.json mentioned in the below URL.
4. BUILDS LIKE A CHARM <3

Cannot build signed android package through visual studio cordova if your build.json file has a byte order marker at the start.

-- I should mention that while the above post title mentioned android i am specifically building for IOS which could cause confusion for anyone also dealing with this issue... Build.json refers to both android & ios platforms.

Answer 2

Using remotebuild, when you see:

"/usr/local/lib/node_modules/remotebuild/node_modules/taco-utils/node_modules/applicationinsights/AutoCollection/Exceptions.js:25 throw error;"

You could simply delete "~/.taco_home/RemoteBuild.config" by:

rm ~/.taco_home/RemoteBuild.config

And run remotebuild again and you should see the issue goes away. I can confirm this works on local Macs and also on cordova remotebuild cloud service Macincloud.com
