Inputs

actions - Actions
string. Required. Default value: build.

Specifies a space-delimited list of actions. Valid options are build, clean, test, analyze, and archive. For example: build clean performs a clean build. See the Apple: Building from the command line with Xcode FAQ.

configuration - Configuration
string. Default value: $(Configuration).

Specifies the Xcode project or workspace configuration to build. When using a variable, specify a value (for example, Release) on the Variables tab.

sdk - SDK
string. Default value: $(SDK).

Builds an Xcode project or workspace against the specified SDK. Run xcodebuild -showsdks to see a valid list of SDKs.

xcWorkspacePath - Workspace/Project Path
string. Default value: **/*.xcodeproj/*.xcworkspace.

Optional. Specifies the relative path from the repo root to the Xcode workspace or project. For example: MyApp/MyApp.xcworkspace or MyApp/MyApp.xcworkspace/MyApp.xcodeproj. Leave blank if you intend to use -target flag under Advanced Arguments.

scheme - Scheme
string.

Optional. Specifies the Xcode scheme name. Must be a shared scheme (shared checkbox under Managed Schemes in Xcode). Required if Workspace is specified.

packageApp - Create App Package
boolean. Default value: true.

Specifies whether an IPA is generated as a part of the build. For exporting archives with Xcode 7 and Xcode 8, review additional inputs in the Package Options section.

archivePath - Archive Path
string.

Optional. Specifies a directory where created archives are placed.

exportPath - Export Path
string. Default value: output/$(SDK)/$(Configuration).

Optional. Specifies the destination for the product exported from the archive.

exportOptions - Export Options
string. Allowed values: auto, plist, specify. Default value: auto.

Specifies a way to pass in Export Options when exporting the archive.

exportMethod - Export Method
string. Required when exportOptions == specify. Default value: development.

Specifies the method Xcode uses to export the archive. For example, app-store, package, ad-hoc, enterprise, or development.

exportTeamId - Team ID
string. Optional. Use when exportOptions == specify.

Specifies the Apple Developer Portal 10-digit team ID to use for the export.

exportOptionsPlist - Export Options Plist
string. Required when exportOptions == plist.

Specifies the path to a plist file that configures archive exporting.

exportArgs - Export Arguments
string.

Specifies additional command line arguments used to export.

xcode8AutomaticSigning - Automatic Signing
boolean. Default value: false.

Use this input if you have an Xcode 8 or Xcode 9 project configured for Automatic Signing.

teamId - Team ID
string. Optional. Use when xcode8AutomaticSigning = true.

Specifies the 10-digit developer team ID. This is required if you are a member of multiple development teams.

signMethod - Override Using
string. Allowed values: file (File Contents), id (Identifiers). Default value: file.

Use this input if the build uses a signing or provisioning method that is different than the default. Choose File Contents to use a P12 certificate and provisioning profile. Choose Identifiers to retrieve signing settings from the default keychain and pre-installed profiles. Leave the corresponding fields blank if you do not wish to override the default build settings.

iosSigningIdentity - Signing Identity
string. Optional. Use when signMethod = id.

Specifies the signing identity override that is used to sign the build. Defaults to the Xcode project setting. Unlock Default Keychain may need to be selected.

removeProfile - Remove Profile After Build
boolean. Optional. Use when signMethod = file. Default value: false.

Removes the contents of the provisioning profile file from the build agent after the build is complete. Only check if you are running one agent per user.

args - Arguments
string.

Specifies additional command line arguments used to build. This input is useful if you want to use -target or -project instead of specifying a workspace and scheme.

cwd - Working Directory
string.

Specifies the working directory for build runs. Defaults to the root of the repository.
