"Failed to execute goal" - build-ios goal fails in maven very often

[P5music]

I am able to test my CN1 app on the iOS simulator, after the maven system produces the XCode project.

Very often I get this error below, but restoring a fresh system can help. But it is stuck now. I need that the real problem goes away so that nothing can end up leading to this error.

Thanks in advance

Failed to execute goal com.codenameone:codenameone-maven-plugin:7.0.26:build (build-ios) on project myapp-ios: iOS build failed

Is cocoapods installed?

[P5music]

Yes, as I said it just fails sometimes, it seems that it is caused by some kind of slowness or timeout, but the error is the one I mentioned in most recent cases.

Yes. I think there's a timeout for some operations. I need to check.

[P5music]

I checked the error and I realized that there is a corrupted file

[INFO] : /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/delegate.rb:1: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8) (SyntaxError)

it is full of random characters.

Some other .rb files are normal readable source code, while other are "obfuscated" as well.

If other files are "obfuscated" can it depend on real obfuscation?

If there is not obfuscation I have to reinstall Ruby. But what if that's Ruby installation issue itself?

I do not know if this happens when some timeout occurs,

while when timeout occurs that file is effectively needed and accessed so the corrupted text causes the error.

Maybe changing the timeouts somewhere it works again because that file is never needed.

?

There's no timeout. I think your install of ruby is broken. Not  an expert on Ruby though so I'm not sure.
