Hi, recently something happened in Xcode Cloud, and the build times increased massively. In our CI workflow we run test, and one of the phases executes xcodebuild build-for-testing: the duration of this phase moved from about 8 minutes to about 36 minutes, without any major changes on our side.
We observed this:
in different apps;
even when running a build on a old tag.
All other phases don't seem affected, it's just the xcodebuild build-for-testing phase.
I'm attaching 2 screenshots of the logs from AppStoreConnect that show the duration of each phase, where build 7600 is older and 7700 is more recent (but was run on a tag from a few weeks ago, to exclude issues related with the code base itself).
We had not other option than to disable the CI checks for PRs, because they would take too long, and use up too much of Xcode Cloud time.
What's happening?
Thanks
