Hi Apple DTS and community, My developer account's app has been granted the Default Mail App managed capability (com.apple.developer.mail-client). The capability works for Development and App Store Connect distribution, but it is not enabled for Ad Hoc distribution. This prevents us from using our Xcode Cloud “Archive & TestFlight” workflow: The archive succeeds. Development and App Store Connect exports succeed. Xcode Cloud then automatically attempts an Ad Hoc export. The Ad Hoc export fails, causing the entire archive action to fail and the TestFlight post-action to be skipped. The export log reports: Entitlement com.apple.developer.mail-client not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file. We have reproduced this in two consecutive Xcode Cloud runs. We also confirmed that: The App ID has the Default Mail App capability enabled. The entitlement is present and correctly spelled in the app’s entitlements file. The App ID’s provisioning support lists Development and App Store Connect, but not Ad Hoc. Our Xcode Cloud workflow does not expose an option to disable the automatically attempted Ad Hoc export. This appears to match these previous reports: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/774506 — a DTS engineer enabled Ad Hoc support for the entitlement, after which the developer confirmed the issue was resolved. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/800072 — DTS confirmed that the Ad Hoc distribution option must be enabled for the Default Mail App managed capability. We also opened an Apple Developer Support case (102945477410). Developer Support directed us to the forums and indicated that this issue would need to be handled by DTS engineers. I can provide our Team ID, Developer Support case number, Xcode Cloud run identifiers, and any other account details privately if needed. Thank you!

When running an Xcode Cloud workflow pinned to Xcode 26.1, macOS 26.1 and using a Test Destination for iPhone 15 Pro and iOS 26.1, the following error appears in the xcodebuild-build-for-testing.log: 2025-11-13T19:08:31.855137440Z xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier: 2025-11-13T19:08:31.855318998Z { platform:iOS Simulator, id:704F84C8-025F-4F70-B2D9-FF19B7DC098F } 2025-11-13T19:08:31.855362640Z 2025-11-13T19:08:31.855370957Z Ineligible destinations for the "Inbound" scheme: 2025-11-13T19:08:31.855381964Z { platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device, error:iOS 26.1 is not installed. Please download and install the platform from Xcode > Settings > Components. } This can be fixed if ci_pre_xcodebuild.sh is updated with the following: # Get Xcode major version # `xcodebuild -version` returns something like: # Xcode 26.0.1 # Build version 17A400 XCODE_VERSION=$(xcodebuild -version | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d. -f1) if [ "$XCODE_VERSION" -ge 26 ]; then if xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "iOS platform is installed" else echo "iOS platform is not installed. Failing the build." exit 1 fi fi Changing the workflow to use "Latest Release" of Xcode (26.1), macOS (26.1) and the Latest Test Destination iOS (26.1) version provided also does not work.
