How add Build Phases Run Script Phase in Ionic Appflow

Question

I need to run a native Xcode build script during the iOS build in Ionic Appflow.

For e.g I am using cordova-plugin-salesforce-snapins plugin and as per their documentation we need to run these scripts:

select Build Phases
create Run script
paste this line of code $PODS_ROOT/ServiceSDK/Frameworks/ServiceCore.framework/prepare-framework

It is possible in Xcode but there is no such way to achieve this in ionic Appflow.

Please help me to configure this.

I use the npm plugin cordova-node-xcode, which allows you to write the build phase to the generated Xcode project file. Add "xcode": "^3.0.1" to your devDependencies in package.json.

Call a .js script AddBuildScript.js from a Cordova "after_build" hook in your config.xml:

<platform name="ios">
    <hook src="AddBuildScript.js" type="after_build" />

Script AddBuildScript.js:

var xcode = require('xcode'),
    fs = require('fs'),
    projectPath = 'platforms/ios/MyProj.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj',
    proj = xcode.project(projectPath);

proj.parse(function (err) {
        var scriptName = 'My Script';
        var buildPhases = proj.getPBXObject('PBXShellScriptBuildPhase');
        if (JSON.stringify(buildPhases).match(scriptName)) {
            console.log('Xcode project not updated - ' + scriptName + ' already exists')
        } else {
            var options = {shellPath: '/bin/sh', shellScript: '$PODS_ROOT/ServiceSDK/Frameworks/ServiceCore.framework/prepare-framework'};
            proj.addBuildPhase([], 'PBXShellScriptBuildPhase', scriptName, proj.getFirstTarget().uuid, options);
           
            fs.writeFileSync(projectPath, proj.writeSync());
            console.log('Xcode project updated - added ' + scriptName);
        }
});
