Automatic Signing Forced on iOS

[dawidvdh]

Summary

When setting the code sign style to manual and providing provisioning profiles in Xcode it will always be reset to automatic signing when running expo.

I have reviewed the docs and even gone as far as building a config plugin to force the xcode project to be set to manual signing with certain provisioning profiles:

import {ConfigPlugin, IOSConfig, withXcodeProject} from '@expo/config-plugins'

const withManualSigning: ConfigPlugin = config => {
  return withXcodeProject(config, async config => {
    const project = config.modResults
    const targets = IOSConfig.Target.findSignableTargets(project)

    targets.forEach(([nativeTargetId, nativeTarget]) => {
      IOSConfig.XcodeUtils.getBuildConfigurationsForListId(
        project,
        nativeTarget.buildConfigurationList
      ).forEach(config => {
        const [, item] = config
        item.buildSettings.CODE_SIGN_STYLE = 'Manual'
        item.buildSettings.DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = '""'
        item.buildSettings.PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER =
          '"match Development com.app.sample"'
      })

      Object.entries(IOSConfig.XcodeUtils.getProjectSection(project))
        .filter(IOSConfig.XcodeUtils.isNotComment)
        .forEach(([, item]) => {
          if (!item.attributes.TargetAttributes[nativeTargetId]) {
            item.attributes.TargetAttributes[nativeTargetId] = {}
          }
          item.attributes.TargetAttributes[nativeTargetId].ProvisioningStyle =
            'Manual'
          item.attributes.TargetAttributes[nativeTargetId].DevelopmentTeam =
            '""'
        })
    })

    return config
  })
}

export default withManualSigning

However without fail whenever I run expo run ios it will always set the signing back to Automatic, which I believe is a symptom of the setAutoCodeSigningInfoForPbxproj method that appears to be called whenever all the targets have a team.

Can this be overridden in anyway? we have recently started migrating to expo and this is a bit of a blocker for us to continue with our migration and I would love to know if there is something I am missing to avoid this.

What platform(s) does this occur on?

iOS

Minimal reproducible example

I am happy to supply a minimal reproducible example if thats required but I think the problem is relatively evident in the code and the previous explanation.

The Answer here was seemingly setting the team id, even though the CLI will report Auto signing app using team(s): XXXXX it will actually still be set to manual, it would be great if this could just be configured through the app config.
