While WhatToTest..txt was being used in xcode cloud. I wish this feature should just being adopted to functioned from XCode archive and upload to set initial release note from the build pipeline directly from xcode in machine

Good morning all, We have an on-premise instance of Bitbucket (v8.19.25), using a custom port. We'd like to try using Xcode Cloud, compare to our current CI/CD provider. Once I have to select my source control provider to grant access, I select Bitbucket Server. If I try to input the Host Name with, or without a port, I'm receiving this response: { "message": "An error occurred", "details": [ { "message": "An error occurred", "source": "host" } ], "actions": [], "recovery_actions": [ { "dismiss_label": "OK" }, { "feedback_label": "Provide Feedback", "feedback_component": "Xcode Cloud | New Bugs" } ], "should_show_error": true } Which, of course, doesn't help me in the slightest to understand why the connection fails. I do notice that the request to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/ci/api/teams/<id>/setup-flow/scm-repositories in the web inspector already includes a host and port that I use to clone the repository locally. However, the web-based interface of Bitbucket doesn't include that port. So, if I clone a repo: ssh://<bitbucket-instance>:<port>, but if I look at pull requests: https://`. My colleagues have already determined that there shouldn't be any firewall rules or gateway limits, so Bitbucket should be reachable. No VPN either. How can I continue to fix this?

Hello, Our Xcode Cloud builds are successfully archiving but fail every time during the "Export archive for app-store distribution" step. The issue appears to be a persistent authentication failure with App Store Connect that we are unable to resolve. Primary Error: The build logs show a critical authentication failure. IDEDistribution.critical.log shows: App Store Connect request for store configuration failed for account Session Proxy Provider... Unable to authenticate with App Store Connect. DVTITunesSoftwareService.log specifies the error is DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation.DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError.proxy. The build process eventually terminates during the IDEDistributionSymbolsStep with an Rsync failed error, which we believe is a symptom of the earlier authentication failure. Troubleshooting Already Performed: We have already taken the following steps without success: Verified the account used for the integration has "Account Holder" and "Admin" roles. Confirmed that Xcode Cloud's automatic signing is working correctly and is able to create new provisioning profiles. Thoroughly checked the App Store Connect web UI under Users and Access > Integrations > Xcode Cloud for a way to reset the connection, but no such option exists. Removed and re-added the Apple ID in the Xcode application's settings (Xcode > Settings > Accounts) on a local Mac. Our hypothesis is that the integrated authentication session between Xcode Cloud and App Store Connect is invalid or stale, and there is no user-facing way to reset it. Has anyone else encountered this "Session Proxy Provider" authentication error with Xcode Cloud? Is there a known solution or a different method to force a re-authentication of the service connection? Any guidance from Apple engineers or other developers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m unable to enable Xcode Cloud for any app on my account. At the final step of the Xcode workflow setup (“Confirm App on App Store Connect”), pressing Complete always returns: “ could not be added to Xcode Cloud. Authentication credentials are invalid.” This affects both existing apps and completely new test apps with fresh bundle IDs. What I’ve verified • I am Account Holder and Admin. • All agreements are accepted. • App creation, bundle ID registration, and certificate management work normally. • I’ve removed/re-added my Apple ID in Xcode and cleared all Xcode-* tokens from Keychain. • Test apps in clean Git repos reproduce the same error. Support I have already opened Case ID 102769512657 with Apple Developer Support, but I’m posting here in case others have seen this issue or know of additional steps to confirm the provisioning state.

Hello All, I am new to apple ecosystem. We have a xcode project whose code is scattered across different repos. We are trying setup CI/CD for this Xcode project to get build so that we could know build issue. Clone/Update all repos – which I can do via some script Generate xcode projects from sources synced in step 1. This is where we want your help. How should we approach this? What apple suggest for this ? In this step we don't want to use any third part tool (like CMake) to generate Xcode projects. Build targets to know build errors – This we can easily do via xcodebuild command line tool. Please share you input/thought on this. Your input is highly appreciated.

Hi! For the past few days I have been experiencing slower builds in my workflows, without a clear reason of the cause as sometimes they run with the old usual time. I tried contacting the Developer Support without success in finding out the reason of these issues, the case number was 102661768064. As an example, I have a workflow for Pull request checks that involves testing and analyzing. This usually ran for 11-15mins, but now it could take up to 30mins or more. Looking into the logs it just seems that the machine it's particularly slow, then in another build it goes with usual times again. As an example, below are the summaries of two builds of the same branch: Being in the free tier, these new long times are burning my free time quite faster and probably will need to look into running this checks in GitHub Actions if it doesn't improve. A hint of what might be wrong is also found in an error in the test workflow, which denotes a problem booting a simulator. Any help on this will be appreciated, thanks!

I want to use a ci_script to change the CI_BUILD_NUMBER to a new value. But in XCODE CLOUD there seems to be no programmatic way to change it?

The launch argument -com.apple.TipKit.HideAllTips 1 does not work if it is defined in xctestplan arguments passed on launch. I tested it with the apple provided example app, where I created simple UI test and added xctestplan with launch argument -com.apple.TipKit.HideAllTips 1. The app does not hide the tips when it is running the UI Tests. Is there any solution that works? Thanks for reply.

We just changed the repository from Bitbucket > Github. While all connected successfully, none of the branches are appearing. I understand usually it takes time (cache etc) but its been a good few hours. Also tried to remove the integration and re-setup but to no avail.

We all know that the feature “Always On Display” is available only on pro models. I checked in iPhone 14 Plus, that feature became visible in “Search” menu under “Settings”. If a user types “Displa”, then the search results show “Always On Display” as a result. When I click on that, it navigates inside “Display and Brightness” and we found no toggle for “Always On Display”. So, displaying the same on search result is a big bug which needs immediate attention from Apple. Users are getting confused whether iPhone 14 plus has that feature or not.. **Possible reason: ** I believe Apple releases iPhone OS versions in a single release each time and must be applying any kind of feature flagging to enable / disable a feature in a version or for a model. The feature flagging might not be working with Settings menu’s Search service or the code is not properly modular.

Hi, we are using xctest UI tests integrated into a Jenkins CI pipeline. However, after upgrading the machine running automated tests to macOS Sequoia, we’re experiencing an issue: before each UI test, the system displays a popup asking for a password to allow XCTest to enable UI automation. Is there any known workaround for this, please? I’ve tried disabling SIP and modifying the TCC database, but nothing has worked so far. Thank you in advance. I’ve attached a screenshot of the popup.

I am running into this error with productbuild in github actions where the program hangs with a specific developer id. I have verified that my certification files are properly uploaded etc. and i am able to run this without the --sign command online and with --sign offline. if i sign with a "3rd party mac developer installer: ***" it will run but then crash on stapling because this isn't the actual org i want to staple and don't really need to verify that i could staple with this other license since it is my personal license and i will be leaving this job soon so setting up all my other certs is a waste of time since it doesn't solve the problem. When i use my bosses/org "Developer ID Installer: ***" productbuild just hangs. I am at a loss here... the acutal command running is productbuild --resources ./resources --distribution distribution.xml --sign "${{ secrets.DEVELOPER_ID_INSTALLER }}" --timestamp "${{ env.ARTIFACT_NAME }}.pkg" I have confirmed that my distribution file is fine etc. because I can productbuild without signing fine. Any suggestions on where to go?

Hi folks, I've been having this issue for the last few months, where Xcode Cloud fails to resolve Swift package dependencies while compiling my builds, seemingly at random. Some of my Xcode Cloud builds will fail after several minutes, with an error log looking like that : xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies: failed downloading 'https://dl.google.com/firebase/ios/bin/grpc/1.62.2/rc0/grpcpp.zip' which is required by binary target 'grpcpp': downloadError("The request timed out.") Whenever this happens, I have to manually restart an Xcode Cloud build process (or several builds, since the error can happen multiple times in a row), to the point it's becoming increasingly painful to rely on Xcode Cloud for my workflow. The failing packages are mostly random (meaning, it's not always the same one that Xcode fails to resolve), but they are always publicly accessible, even though I have an environment variable set in my Xcode workflows to retrieve a single Github private dependency (maybe this has some kind of importance). Could anyone tell me if this is an isolated issue, or if I could do anything on my end to resolve this ? Thank you !

It is a bit strange what Xcode Cloud has implemented on how they manage the Build Numbers https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-the-next-build-number-for-xcode-cloud-builds Intead of just looking at the project configuration as the source of truth, they run their own build number and totally ignore the project config value. Also, interesting that instead of solving it they have a "Set Build Number" menu in the settings which is a pain to manually manage everytime they got out of sync. Is there any way to turn this madness off and consider the project config as the source of truth?
