PhaseScriptExecution failed when hitting Play in Xcode

[sppenn]

This is my first kivy app and I suspect the issue has to do with how things are set up, but I haven't been able to figure it out on my own. I am able to run the app with "% python main.py". I can create working Android version of the app that runs on my phone. However, I'm not able to run the app from Xcode.

Versions

• Python : 3.9.13
• MacOS version : 12.5
• XCode Version : 13.4.1
• Cython version : 0.29.28

Describe the bug
The last successful command was
$ open gboctrackingapp-ios/gboctrackingapp.xcodeproj
The Xcode build fails when hitting Play.

To Reproduce
Followed the steps in Create a package for IOS, and tried to Play the project.

Expected behavior
Expected to see the app running on my screen

Logs
I have the log file captured as a txt file. However it has 155,726 lines of text and is 28MB. Only 25MB is allowed to be uploaded as a file to this bug report. Here is a link to the file --

Screenshots

Additional context
Here are the commands I used within the virtual environment --
I first created GBoCTrackingApp folder
Copied over the 13 *.py and *.kv files from previous builds so that I started fresh
then ran “python main.py” just to test it and see it run
pip install kivy-ios
toolchain build kivy
toolchain create GBoCTrackingApp ~/Documents/Professional/LearnKivy/MyKivyProjects/GBoCTrackingApp
open gboctrackingapp-ios/gbcotrackingapp.xcodeproj

Hi @sppenn !

In which folder did you launch toolchain build kivy and toolchain create GBoCTrackingApp ?

[sppenn]

Sorry, I missed a step in my description. After creating the GBoCTrackingApp folder and copying the files, I cd'd over to ~/Documents/Professional/LearnKivy/MyKivyProjects/GBoCTrackingApp and never left that particular folder. I issued all the commands while in that older.

Here are the commands I used within the virtual environment --
I first created GBoCTrackingApp folder using Apple's Finder
Copied over the 13 *.py and *.kv files from previous builds so that I started fresh using Apple's Finder
cd GBoCTrackingApp from within Terminal
then ran “python main.py” just to test it and see it run
pip install kivy-ios
toolchain build kivy
toolchain create GBoCTrackingApp ~/Documents/Professional/LearnKivy/MyKivyProjects/GBoCTrackingApp
open gboctrackingapp-ios/gbcotrackingapp.xcodeproj

Here are couple of screenshots of the folder sctructure (if it helps.)
This is the folder where main.py exists and the folder I work from. It has the error log as a txt file that I saved after getting the error.

This is the folder structure of the subfolder gboctrackingapp-ios

Been trying to work through the problem and making no progress. Stuck on the same error. I am getting two "Alerts" when running the command
$ toolchain build kivy

Don't know if these messages help in diagnosing the problem, but I'm trying to give as much information as possible.

Here are the screenshots of the alerts and when they pop up.

@sppenn Have you solved this problem? I have the same problem.

[sppenn]

Nope. I got nothing. I've searched, posted on discord, and done everything else I can think of. Can't get past this error. I like Kivy, enjoyed learning it, but I've tried so many things that I now need to uninstall everything.

HI @sppenn and @342261733 !

Ok, now it makes sense. (Sorry for the late reply, but I'm on vacation and I rarely look at notifications)

You shouldn't create the *-ios project and do the build in the same folder of your app.

As an example:

• /Users/myuser/Documents/myapp <-- Here you should place your app files (.py, .kv, .jpg, ...)
• /Users/myuser/Documents/kivyios-build-myapp <-- Here you should build the needed dependencies via toolchain. It may also contain the myapp-ios, which is the folder created via toolchain create GBoCTrackingApp ....

Why?
When pressing the build button, a rsync script is executed and copies all the content of ~/Documents/Professional/LearnKivy/MyKivyProjects/GBoCTrackingApp into a subfolder of gboctrackingapp-ios, named YourApp.

But, as you can see, due to your folder structure, gboctrackingapp-ios, dist and build (which shouldn't be copied) are actually a subfolder of ~/Documents/Professional/LearnKivy/MyKivyProjects/GBoCTrackingApp.

Thank you so much! I now have a plan. I still need to uninstall, and start all over. I think that will help. Also, I will follow your advice from here on using the support channels.

Thanks a lot, I solved the problem according to your answer. I think the question is that app_directory( in "$ toolchain create <title> <app_directory>") is python's work directory, and it can't contain other files for example build, dist and so on.
