How to setup Jenkins Xcode plugin for workspaces?

I am green to the iOS app development space. I need to setup a build in Jenkins for a new Swift application I built. As part of that, I used Cocoapods to manage dependencies which in turn, meant I now had a workspace instead of a simple project.

I'm now trying to build this application as part of our pipepline and have hit the following error:

FATAL: Since there are multiple projects in the workspace, you must be specify the location of the target project as Xcode Project File.
Build step 'Xcode' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

The root of my project looks as follows:

I have setup the project in xcode as follows: jenkins ios workspace config

On my development machine I can successfully build the application with the command: 

xcodebuild -workspace mcb-phoneagent-ios.xcworkspace -scheme mcb-phoneagent-ios

Does anybody see anything I've setup incorrectly?

jenkins xcode ios

This is how I resolved this issue when i ran into it:

  1. Make sure that you have your scheme container set to the workspace (not the project. This can be checked in Xcode in Product -> Scheme -> Manage Schemes, then look in the column titled "Container")

  2. confirm that the xcshareddata is in the workspace directory that Jenkins is using.

  3. In Jenkins Under the General build settings of the Xcode there is a "Settings" button settings button

click on it and find the Xcode schema file text box.schema text box

Fill that box in with the name of the xcsheme file you want to use for the given workspace that was entered as the Xcode Workspace file (in your case I'm guessing it would be mcb-phoneagent-ios).

Since you use Cocopod, you need to use the *.xcworkspace file, not the *.workspace,

and from personal experience much easier to archive and use *.app files with jenkins instead of letting it to build for u the projects
