How to pay for Xcode Cloud via the Apple Developer account?
Hi, Our organisation just ran out of the included Xcode Cloud hours. I now want to upgrade (I am the account holder). There does not seem to be a way to do this on the Apple Developer and/or App Store Connect websites, as you'd expect. The Get started with Xcode Cloud page mentions that I need to use the Apple Developer app. However, when I sign up to this in the Apple Developer app, the account shown when pressing Subscribe is my personal account, not any account related to the organization: It is impossible to change the payment details. How can I use the organization account to pay for this, as I obviously do not want to get charged to my personal account? Thanks.

Random exportArchive 70 Error Code When Using Xcode Cloud for Build
Recently, I’ve noticed that the Archive workflow on Xcode Cloud frequently fails randomly with the following error: ❌ Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information I’m not sure if this issue is on my side or if it’s related to Xcode Cloud itself. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

We are trying to access the Sonar and Nexus remote servers from Xcode Cloud, to see the coverage percentage and artifact upload but we are unable to do so as it says "host not resolved." Could you please help us with accessing Nexus, Sonar, Dynatrace, and other tools from Xcode Cloud? We connected to network team of organization to enable firewall but they need the Xcode cloud server ip details Regards, Bala

XCode Cloud Infrastructure Location
I am trying to find answers to the following questions about the XCode Cloud infrastructure for compliance purposes, but could not find it in the documentation. Where is the Xcode Cloud infrastructure hosted? Is there any way to specify that your builds happen in the US only? Does Xcode Cloud infra have any SLA on uptime? Does XCode Cloud meet any kind security compliance standards?

I uploaded the app to TestFlight, but the new version doesn’t appear in the TestFlight app.
Hello, I uploaded a new build to TestFlight, and it has been about an hour since the processing was completed. However, the update is still not showing up in the TestFlight app. From my experience, the update usually appears within 10 to 30 minutes, but this time it is taking unusually long. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar issue and found a solution. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Xcode cloud: xcode build archive error
Hello! I'm trying to build my flutter app through xcode cloud, but im getting following error: Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 65 Run command: 'xcodebuild archive -workspace /Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/Runner.xcworkspace -scheme Runner -destination generic/platform=iOS -archivePath /Volumes/workspace/build.xcarchive -derivedDataPath /Volumes/workspace/DerivedData -resultBundleVersion 3 -resultBundlePath /Volumes/workspace/resultbundle.xcresult -resultStreamPath /Volumes/workspace/tmp/resultBundleStream97053cd8-9db9-41c6-9dc8-a9fc142bacb6.json -IDEPostProgressNotifications=YES CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=- AD_HOC_CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=YES CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic DEVELOPMENT_TEAM={development_team_here} COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO -hideShellScriptEnvironment' When i build locally, it works fine, tried both debug/release modes, but in the cloud archive fails.

Xcode Cloud Code Signing Issue – App Store Review Can’t Open Exported App
Hey everyone, We’re running into a frustrating issue with Xcode Cloud builds submitted to App Store Review. After every build, we must manually delete all code signing certificates generated by Xcode Cloud; otherwise, the reviewers can’t open the exported App Store app. When they try to open it, they see the error: “Apple Information Security: A process was blocked from running and moved to Trash: [Our App Name]” Oddly enough, if we delete all Xcode Cloud-generated certificates and then trigger a new Xcode Cloud build, the problem temporarily disappears—until the next submission, where we have to repeat the process. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any recommendations on how to prevent this from happening? We’d rather not keep trashing certificates after every build. Thanks!

Xcode Cloud can't connect to Self-Hosted Gitlab Instance using the Change URL function
Hi, I'm trying to use the change url functionality to switch my Xcode Cloud setup from Gitlab.com to my self hosted Gitlab instance. The setup process completes successfully, however, Xcode Cloud does not create any web hooks in my repo and also is not able to fetch any branch/tag information from the Gitlab instance. There is also no error displayed on Xcode Cloud UI. I even tried to debug by looking at requests on my server to see if there are any clues, to no avail. The only clue seems to be that in my repositories page, I see the instance listed but the row is highlighted red (which I assume means there's an issue with the connection). The last accessed date is also empty. The call to the /repos-v3 endpoint from App Store Connect seems to indicate there's an authentication issue: { "primary_repos" : [ { "repo" : { "id" : "xxxxxxxxxxx", "http_clone_url" : "xxxxxxxxxxx", "owner_name" : "xxxxxxxxxxx", "repo_name" : "xxxxxxxxxxx-ios", "repo_id" : "7", "provider" : "gitlab-hosted", "ssh_clone_url" : "ssh://xxxxxxxxxxx", "scp_clone_url" : "git@xxxxxxxxxxx", "default_branch" : "master" }, "authorization_state" : "unauthorized" } ], "additional_repos" : [ ], "unauthorized_repos" : [ ], "revoked_repos" : [ ] } On my end, when I try to add the repository to Xcode Cloud, I see a few requests to my GitLab instance, all of which succeed with 200: {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:26.217Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.05674,"db_duration_s":0.00567,"view_duration_s":0.05107,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/user",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:26.797Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.16682,"db_duration_s":0.02024,"view_duration_s":0.14658,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/xxxxxx%2Fxxxxxx-ios",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:28.298Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.06617,"db_duration_s":0.00835,"view_duration_s":0.05782,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/user",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:28.867Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.21071,"db_duration_s":0.03075,"view_duration_s":0.17996,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/xxxxxx%2Fxxxxxx-ios",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:30.621Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.15613,"db_duration_s":0.01842,"view_duration_s":0.13771,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/7",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:31.239Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.1672,"db_duration_s":0.01828,"view_duration_s":0.14892,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/7",..... At this point I'm sure this is some sort of a bug with Xcode Cloud since the requests do succeed but Xcode Cloud is unable to process the responses and identify the correct branches and tags, as well as set the web hook for the repo.

Xcode Cloud Signing Issue
There seems to be a problem to a specific Apple Developer Account regarding Xcode Cloud Distribution (Signing). The Xcode Cloud Error Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “XcodeCloudTest.app/XcodeCloudTest” is not properly signed. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing. Investigation Apple Developer Forums This issue seems to be known: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/746210 Debugging by ourselves We setup an example Xcode project from a default iOS Xcode app template to rule out any project issues. This example project failed with the same error as stated above. In the next step we tried the same example project with a different Apple Developer Account and it successfully distributed the example App through Xcode Cloud. Conclusion It seems like there is no setup issue on developer-side, because our example project works out-of-the-box on a different Apple Developer Account. Our only hope is that Apple will have a look on our Developer Account. Maybe there is some internal setting.

Xcode Cloud workflows not transferring when transferring app ownership
We are transferring ownership of an app from one org to another. Most things seem to be transferring as expected thus far according to this page, with the exception of our Xcode Cloud configuration and workflows. I understand that they are connected to source code (Github in this case), so those would probably need to be reconnected, but is there any way to get some of the configuration/workflows transferred?

Xcode Cloud fails every build
Since yesterday, Xcode cloud no longer seems to be successful in building our workflows. We're relying on Xcode Cloud for our CI, and the downtime is hindering us greatly. I've seen there is an issue on https://developer.apple.com/system-status/. Any indication of progress on this issue would be appreciated.

Failed to prepare device
We are getting unreliable results on XCode Cloud tests. I'm not sure if it's related to the current service outage. I'm running a very simple XCTest UI suite, on some devices it succeds and it others it fails to start. I'm not getting a userful error message. MyApp-Runner encountered an error (Failed to prepare device 'iPhone 16 Pro Max' for impending launch. (Underlying Error: Unable to boot the Simulator. launchd failed to respond. (Underlying Error: Failed to start launchd_sim: could not bind to session, launchd_sim may have crashed or quit responding)))

Requesting permission for MusicKit in Xcode Cloud
I am experimenting with Swift Testing and Xcode Cloud and would like to write some tests that require to use MusicKit functionality. For example I'd like to fetch an album via MusicCatalogRessourceRequest to test an initializer of another struct. However this test fails because the permission to access the music library is not granted. Once the permission is granted, the test works as expected. Things I have tried: Add NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes to the Info.plist. This did not show any effect. Below is the corresponding snippet Trying to tap the button programmatically. Once again this did not show any effect. The Info.plist snippet: <key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes</key> <array> <string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIMediaLibrary</string> </array> The code snippet to tap the button: let systemAlerts = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.springboard") let allowButton = systemAlerts.buttons["Allow"] if allowButton.exists { allowButton.tap() } What am I doing wrong here? I need access to MusicKit functionalities to write meaningful tests. Thank you

Inconsistent behavior across different test environments and simulators
I'm working on Apple Watch UI tests and have noticed different results between local and Xcode Cloud environments. I tested all cases locally, and they worked fine. However, when running the tests on Xcode Cloud, some issues caused them to fail: The test requires clicking a button to display the built-in keyboard, but on Xcode Cloud, the keyboard never appears, no matter how long I wait. The app unexpectedly closes during testing, displaying the error message: "Failed to launch application {Your app} is not running." These failures occurred on two different simulator destinations (Ultra 49mm 11.2 / Series 7 45mm 11.2) and can only be reproduced on specific simulators. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Initial Setup of Xcode Cloud won't grant Github access
I'm trying to set up Xcode Cloud for the first time. When I go through the "Get Started" flow and get to "Grant Access to Your Source Code" step, when I click the "Grant Access" button, I get "This Operation Could Not Be Completed." It has the correct URL to my Github repo. Github is working fine in Xcode itself: I can push and pull changes and view repo history. I've tried: restarting Xcode rebooting the Mac Removing the Github account from Xcode and adding it back Creating a new Github personal token and removing the Github account from Xcode and using the new token to add it back I've looked through my Github settings and don't see anything that might cause an issue. I filed FB16511549 to report this. The error dialog in Xcode automatically filled the feedback fields, and says: "API Invalid status code: 500. XcodeCloudCombineAPI.XCCResponseError:1" I'm running Xcode 16.2 (16C5032a) on an M4 MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70). Does anyone have any insights or ideas of other things to try? Thanks.

Xcode Cloud won't load from Xcode or App Store Connect
I am setting up a new app and am having problems with Xcode Cloud. From Xcode if I click on the "Cloud" button under the Report Navigator I get a spinner for a long time then get the message "Could not load Xcode Cloud data". I also visited the "Xcode Cloud" tab under my app in App Store Connect and I get a spinner and nothing loads. This is a recent account and I'm setting up Xcode Cloud for the first time. Below is what I've tried and I'm out of ideas on how to get this working. In Xcode, I signed out and back in as the Account Holder Closed Xcode and reopened This occurred yesterday and today and have not seen a problem under the Apple System Status page On the latest Xcode 16.2 Checked the Signing & Capabilities tab in Xcode and my team a bundle Id is correct and it's happy with signing. At this time on my machine I am using the distribution profile.
