Looks like fastlane ran into a build/archive error with your project
It's hard to tell what's causing the error, so we wrote some guides on how
to troubleshoot build and signing issues: https://docs.fastlane.tools/codesigning/getting-started/
Before submitting an issue on GitHub, please follow the guide above and make
sure your project is set up correctly.
fastlane uses `xcodebuild` commands to generate your binary, you can see the
the full commands printed out in yellow in the above log.
Make sure to inspect the output above, as usually you'll find more error information there
[stderr] [!] Error building the application - see the log above
Error: Fastlane build failed with unknown error. Please refer to the "Run fastlane" and "Xcode Logs" phases.
Fastlane errors in most cases are not printed at the end of the output, so you may not find any useful information in the last lines of output when looking for an error message.

Hi- sorry about this, that’s really weird if it’s throwing that error if your provisioning profile already defines push notifications as a capability

How did you determine that capability was already present? You should be able to go here in Apple’s UI, and look for the profile that is associated with this app (shown here in your EAS credentials UI), click it, and see “Push notifications” under “Enabled Capabilities”

Thanks @charliecruzan for the quick response.

This was one of the things I checked before posting. Here’s what the Provisioning profile looks like for the Ad Hoc Credentials which we’re using to build iOS:
Note the Push Notifications under “Enabled Capabilities”

@fiberjw mentioned that this could be related to issues with the Apple developer API that have been affecting fastlane builds? I don’t see any errors like the above in this issue though.

And the ID of that provisioning profile matches the one in your Expo dashboard for the internal distribution build?

You may want to try regenerating a new provisioning profile, just to see if that’s a quick fix

The provisioning profile ID in the Expo dashboard for the Ad Hoc provisioning profile matches the ID in the Apple dashboard for the ad hoc provisioning profile.

The UUID for the provisioning profile in the EAS build logs matches the UUID for the provisioning profile on the Expo dashboard. That profile’s Apple Developer Portal ID matches the ID for the Provisioning Profile in the Apple Developer portal.

Just tried with a fresh provisioning profile and it still failed.
Update: it works with the App Store build, which uses a different bundle identifier. But it doesn’t work with our ad hoc build.

Hm, that’s odd. Also according to your project setup, there is currently no Apple Provisioning Profile set for the ad hoc build

Looks like it got clobbered as I was trying to reset the profile. I’ve since done another build with a new provisioning profile that has push notifs enabled. Seeing the same errors here.

Are you letting EAS handle the creation of the profile?

Yes, here is the output for EXPO_APP_STORE_DEBUG=1 eas build -p ios --profile releaseXd

âś” Using remote iOS credentials (Expo server)

If you provide your Apple account credentials we will be able to generate all necessary build credentials and fully validate them.
This is optional, but without Apple account access you will need to provide all the values manually and we can only run minimal validation on them.

@charliecruzan does the above output help at all?

Yes thanks, it’s just suspicious to me that your credentials dashboard doesn’t show any provisioning profile associated with your ad hoc build. Seems like that could very possibly be related to your error. I’m going to ask someone who’s a bit more familiar with our credentials backend to chime in

Do release builds work @agreeahmednumi , so the only issue is with your ad hoc client?

It’s only an issue with the ad hoc client.
You can see that we’ve got a provisioning profile set up for the ad hoc client here:

Ah I was looking at the wrong bundle ID, sorry about that

Hey @charliecruzan any updates on this?

We’re looking into it- the person most familiar with this is on holiday but they’ll be back soon :slight_smile:

While looking at similar issue (EAS Build - “requires a provisioning profile with the Push Notifications feature” on enterprise build) that linked to this one I noticed that you both had incorrect build configuration, maybe try changing that and rebuilding, managed project has only Release and Debug configurations and you are using ReleaseXd

@wkozyra can you explain what you mean by build configurations?
Would this be a change to eas.json, app.config.js, or something else?

xcode build configuration - by default xcode projects have 2 Debug and Release
you can select which you want to build in eas.json via buiildConfiguration field Configuring EAS Build with eas.json - Expo Documentation

but you should not use that field at all in manged project, for release build you do not need to set anything and for debug builds there is a developmentClient field Configuring EAS Build with eas.json - Expo Documentation

Hello! I have a related question. I get the same error message, but I don’t want push notifications at all (this is a kids category app, and I’m trying to use as little data transfer as possible). How can I disable them in the eas build? I don’t use push anywhere in the project?
