Complete solution

Shows how to fix xcode 14 build on Codemagic exits with status code 65. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.

TL;DR

Pass CODESIGNSTYLE=Manual to xcodebuild via the archive xcargs, like --archive-xcargs CODESIGNSTYLE=Manual, to override the automatic development signing on that dependency.

Steps

  1. Switching a Codemagic iOS build from Xcode 13 to Xcode 14 broke the Build ipa for distribution step with exit status code 65. The cause was a dependency, youtube-ios-player-helper, that is automatically signed for development, which clashed with the manual signing the export used on Xcode 14.
  2. Pass CODESIGNSTYLE=Manual to xcodebuild via the archive xcargs, like --archive-xcargs CODESIGNSTYLE=Manual, to override the automatic development signing on that dependency. The reporter fixed their build this way and closed the issue.
