iphone - Running xcodebuild from a forked terminal

Question

I'm trying to setup an automated build server for an iPhone application. I'd like to be able to have nightly adhoc beta builds so that testers can follow the development.

I've setted up xcode successfully xcode to perform adhoc builds and I can also launch the build from the command line:

xcodebuild -configuration AdHoc -sdk iphoneos2.2 clean build

The problem I'm having is that the following line doesn't work from a forked terminal (using nohup or screen) and failed with the following

CodeSign error: Code Signing Identity 'iPhone Distribution: XXXXX' does not match any code-signing certificate in your keychain. Once added to the keychain, touch a file or clean the project to continue.

I've checked my environment variables in my shell and in nohup or screen and didn't found a clue. I guess my problem is that the forked terminal can't access to the keychain but I have no clue on how to allow it.

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

I had te error User interaction is not allowed and solved it by unlocking the keychain first

security unlock-keychain /Users/yannooo/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

I've also tried to put my certs in the System's keychain and it was working. My final solution was to put all my iPhone related certs in a dedicated keychain named iPhone.keychain using the Keychain Access application

security list-keychains -s /Users/yannooo/Library/Keychains/iPhone.keychain 
security unlock-keychain -p keychainpassword /Users/yannooo/Library/Keychains/iPhone.keychain
