Fastlane Precheck Failure - Unexpected Response about fastlane

[lacostej]

Hello, this indeed looks like either a problem in fastlane, or something in the Apple ecosystem we do not support.

Could you run the command again with VERBOSE=true bundle exec fastlane precheck to see what extra output we get?

it would be useful to pinpoint if this fails for all IAPs or just some in particular. The verbose mode could help us find out which IAP it fails with. You can also then check your appstoreconnect setup to see if you see something special for that IAP.

@lacostej thanks for the response.

Running bundle exec fastlane precheck --verbose gives me pretty much the same output. See below.

Additional feedback regarding this issue:

• Precheckfile template does not include a way to skip in app purchase verification.
• Error handling doesn't seem to be working very well - unexpected errors shouldn't block the release.
• The string You can disable IAP checking by setting the include_in_app_purchases flag to false is very unhelpful, this should be a link to some documentation telling how to pass this string. For instance, in the lanes, its called something different: precheck_include_in_app_purchases: false, ++ nothing in the Precheckfile for this. A note to use --include_in_app_purchases=false would be helpful in the command itself, but often precheck isn't run on its own, its part of a deliver action.

Thanks again let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help.

Running bundle exec fastlane precheck --verbose gives me pretty much the same output. See below.

bundle exec fastlane precheck --verbose isn't the same as VERBOSE=true bundle exec fastlane precheck

The VERBOSE=true changes the way spaceship logs.

I am interested in seeing where in the interaction with AppStoreConnect spaceship fails. Hopefully the spacehip logs will give us more information.

I agree that some improvements can be done on the documentation and consistency of the information displayed.

I've emailed this output to you. It is very long with emails and team ids and such in it, so I didn't post it here. Thanks 👍
