fix: authenticate token-based dependency pulls via netrc#78
Merged
Conversation
Embedding the token in git insteadOf URLs makes Xcode's Swift Package Manager hang forever during dependency resolution on macOS runners: SPM asks the keychain for HTTPS credentials (even for public packages) and the headless keychain prompt can never be answered, see actions/runner-images#6233 A ~/.netrc file is the documented way to authenticate both git HTTPS clones (pub get) and xcodebuild/SPM on CI without touching the keychain. The remaining insteadOf rewrites only map ssh-style URLs to HTTPS and contain no credentials.
xcodebuild's own SCM consults the macOS keychain for HTTPS credentials even for public packages and hangs headless runners. Forcing the SwiftPM builtin SCM (system git) makes package resolution honor gitconfig and ~/.netrc like every other git operation. This is the defaults equivalent of `xcodebuild -scmProvider system`, required because `flutter build ipa` invokes xcodebuild internally and cannot forward the flag.

Summary
build_ioson famedly/app#7173 hangs forever during Xcode SPM dependency resolution whenever the token-based auth path is active — regardless of whether theinsteadOfrewrites are global (fix: use git config --add for token insteadOf rewrites #76) or scoped to the famedly org (fix: scope token insteadOf rewrites to the famedly org #77).~/.netrc. Both git (HTTPS clones forpub get) and xcodebuild/SPM read it, and no keychain records are created.insteadOfrewrites only map ssh-style URLs to HTTPS and contain no credentials — the same class of rewrite the proven SSH path uses.Verification
