Xcode Cloud builds failing due to IDEPackageOnlyUseVersionsFromResolvedFile being enabled by default

[jverkoey]

I'm unable to use Xcode Cloud build due to IDEPackageOnlyUseVersionsFromResolvedFile being enabled by default, which seems to cause Swift Package Manager not to resolve local packages.

There are two problems at play.

Problem #1

If there are no remote packages in the Xcode project (only local ones), then no Packages.resolved gets generated, resulting in the following output:

Command line invocation:
    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies -project LocalPackagesFailOnCloudBuild.xcodeproj -scheme LocalPackagesFailOnCloudBuild -disableAutomaticPackageResolution -onlyUsePackageVersionsFromResolvedFile

User defaults from command line:
    IDEPackageOnlyUseVersionsFromResolvedFile = YES
    IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES

Problem #2

If the Xcode project has remote packages and was able to generate a Package.swift, then the following line ends up still being hit:
https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/blob/de8e6e8e416f0ddf66ded9bf9c9abafe9517f3c3/Sources/Workspace/Workspace.swift#L2727

with an error message like this:

an out-of-date resolved file was detected at /Volumes/workspace/repository/MyProject.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/swiftpm/Package.resolved, which is not allowed when automatic dependency resolution is disabled; please make sure to update the file to reflect the changes in dependencies. Running resolver because the following dependencies were added: 'mylibrary' (/Volumes/workspace/repository/packages/MyLibrary)fatalError

There doesn't appear to be a way to remove the use of IDEPackageOnlyUseVersionsFromResolvedFile from Xcode Cloud. The problem here seems to be to do with the fact that local packages aren't added to Packages.resolved?

I took a stab at hacking the Package.resolved file by manually adding a localSourceControl pin, which did get past the original error but now I'm getting a new error because the package manager is trying to clone the local repo and not finding it :(

Note that I'm able to resolve this error on Xcode Cloud by adding a ci_scripts/ci_post_clone.sh file to the root of my repo with the following command:

defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEPackageOnlyUseVersionsFromResolvedFile
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEDisableAutomaticPackageResolution

Thanks for your report, but please file it through http://feedbackassistant.apple.com since the SwiftPM project doesn't track issues in Xcode and/or Xcode Cloud.

thank you!

I added this to ci_post_clone.sh to make it work:

defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDESkipPackagePluginFingerprintValidatation -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDESkipMacroFingerprintValidation -bool YES
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEPackageOnlyUseVersionsFromResolvedFile
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEDisableAutomaticPackageResolution

im runnin into this same issue

Failed to resolve dependencies Dependencies could not be resolved because no versions of 'alamofireimage' match the requirement 5.0.0..<6.0.0 and root depends on 'alamofireimage' 5.0.0..<6.0.0.
