Azure pipeline fails on building Kotlin Multiplatform shared framework usinig embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode and fastlane

Question

I'm working on a Kotlin Multiplatform project which is building fine locally but I can't get it to work on an Azure DevOps pipeline.

Some good things to know:

• not using Cocoapods
• using the embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode gradlew command in Build Phases
• all commands using fastlane work for multiple developers locally
• we use custom configurations like: ProjectADebug/ProjectARelease but we defined KOTLIN_FRAMEWORK_BUILD_TYPE for all of them

I'm trying to get an Azure DevOps pipeline to build and upload to App Store Connect using fastlane. We are using match for signing, that works great. Archiving fails and it looks like it's failing on building the shared KMM framework.

Anybody with the same problems that could help me out? Or some tips how I can view those gym logs on the Azure VM because I assume there it says what actually went wrong instead of this general error.

This is the the lane in Fastfile:

    lane :azure_beta do |options|

        label = options[:label].capitalize

        git_url = "someURL"

        match(
            type: "appstore",
            readonly: true,
            git_url: git_url,
            keychain_name: ENV["MATCH_KEYCHAIN_NAME"],
            keychain_password: ENV["MATCH_KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD"],
            verbose: true
        )
        
        build_app(
            project: "../Project/Project.xcodeproj",
            configuration: "#{label}Release",
            scheme: label
        )
        # fails on the build_app step...
        
        changelog = changelog_from_git_commits(
            pretty: "- (%ae) %s",
            date_format: "short",
            merge_commit_filtering: "exclude_merges"
        )

        upload_to_testflight(
            changelog: changelog,
            app_identifier: label == "Project" ? idsProjectA : idsProjectB,
            skip_waiting_for_build_processing: true
        )

        version_number = get_version_number(
            xcodeproj: "../Project/Project.xcodeproj",
            target: "Project", #Hardcoded because we have multiple targets, label is specificed in build_app configuration
            configuration: "#{label}Release"
        )

        add_git_tag(
            includes_lane: false,
            prefix: "ios-#{label.downcase}-#{version_number}-",
            build_number: number_of_commits
        )

        delete_keychain(name: ENV["MATCH_KEYCHAIN_NAME"])
    end

As it turned out there was an error in building the common KMM layer, I would have found it when doing a clean checkout probably but I found out by using a self-hosted agent on Azure Devops so I could navigate to the /Users/runner/Library/Logs/gym/Project-Project.log as Pylyp Dukhov suggested.
