jenkins - How do we manually fix "ResourceRules.plist: cannot read resources" error after xcode 6.1 upgrade?

Question

We are having the same issue found here, here, here and here

Basically we upgraded to xcode 6.1 and our build are getting the "ResourceRules.plist: cannot read resources" error.

We have a Jenkins server that does our ios builds for us. We are using the Xcode plugin on Jenkins to do the actual build and signing. Any thoughts on how we can make this change without manually opening xcode and doing this solution found on the other answers:

Click on your project > Targets > Select your target > Build Settings >

Code Signing Resource Rules Path

and add :

$(SDKROOT)/ResourceRules.plist

I'm very new to Xcode and iOS build in general. I have found the project.pbxproj file inside the Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj file. It looks like this contains the build settings under the /* Begin XCBuildConfiguration section */ section it lists what looks like similar build properties foundin Xcode, however I do not see anything like "Code Signing Resource Rules Path".

Does anyone have experience manually editing this file? Is that a bad idea in general?

Thanks

If you're using Jenkins with the XCode plugin, you can modify the 'Code Signing Resource Rules Path' variable by adding:

"CODE_SIGN_RESOURCE_RULES_PATH=$(SDKROOT)/ResourceRules.plist" 

to the

'Custom xcodebuild arguments' setting for the XCode plugin.

This fix does not require the XCode GUI.
