When I try to run code that uses a community-created macro library on CI (Xcode Cloud), it fails because I cannot interact with the compiler plugin to allow its use.
The error message looks like this:
Target 'PowerAssertPlugin' must be enabled before it can be used.
I have tried setting the following UserDefaults based on the following post but no effect.
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDESkipPackagePluginFingerprintValidation -bool YES
You can use defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDESkipMacroFingerprintValidation -bool YES in a script to skip validation of macros from remote dependencies (the equivalent xcodebuild command line flag is -skipMacroValidation).
It works! Thank you so much.
Is there a way to explicitly set a specific list of macros that are validated instead of skipping validation for all of them? as the documentation of the option suggests this is a security risk:
-skipMacroValidation Skip validation of macros (this can be a security risk if they are not from trusted sources)
Since this came up in a search, I thought I'd update it with a way to do this without have such a global impact: just add -skipMacroValidation to your xcodebuild command.
