How to overcome common issues building mobile apps on Codemagic

Repository is failing to be cloned from AWS CodeCommit

Description

Repositories can be added to Codemagic from multiple sources such as Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and others. When connecting repositories from AWS CodeCommit via HTTPS, you may get the following error at the fetching app sources step:

Cloning into '/home/builder/clone'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git-codecommit.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/my_repo/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Build failed :|
Failed to clone repository

Solution

It is a known issue with repositories coming from AWS CodeCommit through HTTPS. In order to solve it, try an SSH connection instead, and when adding the repo URL, it needs to look like this:

ssh://XXXXXXXX@git-codecommit.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/my_repo.git

Please note that the *XXXXXXXXX refers to your SSH-Key-ID
