Problem with submitting a webpacked .ipa to the app store

[bnussey]

I'm trying to archive a webpacked .ipa to the app store withnpm run build-ios-bundle -- --release --for-device but getting the following errors:

diff: /Podfile.lock: No such file or directory
diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory
error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

I am able to run the process successfully without webpacking..

On the latest version of everything and NativeScript 3.0.

Any ideas whats going on here?

Seems like am able to build from XCode without issues when not using the -- --release.

On latest version of everything.

Had the same problem yesterday also ran into provisioning & sass issues.
Fixed it with switching to fastlane and swichting to cli next. I choose fastlane over tns appstore because appstore also uploads the ipa to iTunes connect and I didn't want that yet.

rm -rf platforms
 # kickoff the sass compiler, didn't run with --bundle. 
tns prepare ios
# saw that the ns-bundle also cleans stuff so to be sure I added this
rm -rf platforms
tns prepare ios --bundle --provision "$PROVISION" --release
npm run webpack --uglify -- --config=webpack.ios.js --progress

# needed this for Jenkins, might help ;)
currentDir=$(basename "$PWD")
# this regex is bases on https://github.com/telerik/mobile-cli-lib/blob/17a506a820016c2ec961c7b0d56c6e0554539900/project-helper.ts#L53
workspace=${currentDir//[^a-zA-Z0-9]/} 

fastlane gym \
    --workspace "platforms/ios/$workspace.xcworkspace" \
    --scheme "$workspace" \
    --output_directory build \
    --output_name app.ipa \
    --export_method app-store \
    --include_bitcode false \
    --clean

Note that we are using cli next. We needed the following fix NativeScript/nativescript-cli#2705 because are following https://codesigning.guide
Our runtime & modules are still on 2.5 and we are using Angular 4, sass and nativescript webpack 0.4.2

Hope this helps a little 😉
