PropertyListReadStreamException determining release version on iOS

[GalacticTitan]

Description

When we are using shorebird we are getting this issue.

Steps To Reproduce

Use

shorebird release ios-alpha --target ./lib/main_dev.dart --flavor staging --force -- --build-name=$BUILD_NAME --build-number=$(($PROJECT_BUILD_NUMBER + 2000)) --export-options-plist=${HOME}/export_options.plist

above command to reproduce the issue.

The relevant source:
https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/blob/main/packages/shorebird_cli/lib/src/commands/release/release_ios_command.dart#L114
https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/blob/main/packages/shorebird_cli/lib/src/archive_analysis/ipa.dart#L56

I'd be very curious to see what the resulting ipa files looked like. If one of you is willing to post one, or share one with me at [email protected] I'd be curious. (What I actually care about is the Info.plist files inside the IPA, not even the whole IPA. Those are retrievalbe by unzippping the ipa -- ipas are just zip files.)

[eseidel]

You can extract just the Info.plist from the IPA with:
unzip -j build/ios/ipa/example.ipa Payload/Runner.app/Info.plist

that build/ios/ipa/example.ipa path was the path printed by shorebird release ios-alpha and the Info.plist path should be Payload/Runner.app/Info.plist unless you've changed the name of your app from Runner (only supported as of the very latest Flutter I believe), if so, you can see the contents of the ipa with unzip -l build/ios/ipa/example.ipa. The -j argument to unzip just makes it ignore directories (and only extract files).

@eseidel Below is the info.plist extracted from the ipa file

This will likely be fixed in the next Shorebird release (we're now reading version info from xcarchives instead of ipas). If you'd like to try now, you can check out the main branch of shorebird and re-run your command (although we don't recommend using --force):

cd ~/.shorebird
git checkout main

[bryanoltman]

This has been fixed in v0.14.10
