Yes, I get this in one of my projects. The other one seems to work fine.

I found a pattern. I am using cordova to build the ios project. I'm trying to avoid opening xcode...I want to automate all of this. But after I use cordova ( phonegap ) to create the xcode project via command line, I must open the xcode project in xcode and do a build ( just to the simulator ). After the point, ipa build command works just fine.

So I'm guessing that the project that cordova creates is not exactly how shenzhen wants it, but opening it in xcode does some apple voodoo to the project file, and then shenzhen can build the ipa via command line.

a950463 aborts with an error rather than raising an exception.

As for Cordova, Shenzhen does not officially support any build systems other than Xcode.

Thanks!

I have similar issue which comes to xcodebuild -list command which hang with no error unless I open xcode once.
The problem with me is that I have automate this (for CI) and don't want to use automator.
Could someone shed a light here?

There are some pretty nice online build services doing this these days. You automate the upload, or they integrate with git. I've had some co-workers use it. https://build.phonegap.com/apps
