Question

Building an IOS app with Firebase included via CocoaPods. Xcode@5 task (clean archive) has completed successfully, where log shows Firebase libraries being copied and compiled. So would be expecting AppCenterDistributeV3 to copy the completed .api file to AppCenter. But getting the following log for the distribution step? But getting an error. 

So the question is, does this require a CocoaPods task for this to complete? This would seem strange when the Xcode task has completed and there is theoretically an ipa file to distribute. Or should This be reported as a bug?

This is the task definition:

task: AppCenterDistribute@3
  displayName: 'Deploy **/*.ipa to Visual Studio App Center'
  inputs:
    serverEndpoint: '[redacted]'
    appSlug: '$(APP_SLUG)'
    appFile: '**/*.ipa'
    symbolsIncludeParentDirectory: false
    releaseNotesOption: input
    releaseNotesInput: 'This release brings several enhancements, new features, and bug fixes to improve the overall performance and user experience.'
    destinationType: 'groups'
    distributionGroupId: '$(DestinationID)'

This is the resultant log:
