Invalid Signature with Xcode Cloud
Hello guys, I currently have a problem with Xcode cloud. When I setup a simple workflow in my Xcode project that just archives it and builds the project for TestFlight Internal testing, it will fail and give the following error: Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “DropIn.app/DropIn” 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. I've already been searching for solutions and double checked the documentation. My Xcode project is a simple iOS app with the app target and two other targets for tests and UI tests. I made sure the checkbox "Automatically manage signing" is ticked in all targets. The workflow has only one action "Archive - iOS" with TestFlight (Internal Testing Only) and a post-action "TestFlight Internal Testing - iOS" with an internal testing group assigned. I've seen people having similar problems where it turned out they had a non roman character in their name? This would also affect me if that's the case, since my name includes "ö". I also checked on app store connect and already deleted xcode cloud data, removed all certificates recreated the workflow, but it still gives this error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Xcode Cloud - unit test runs are marked as failures, but all tests are green
Hi everyone, we're experiencing problems with our unit test builds on Xcode cloud. Without having changed anything in our build configuration, we're getting failed builds (that also take a loooong time) withour any of the build / test steps showing any sign of failures. Maybe related: the "Save artifacts" step of the build appears to have taken almost an hour, but its individual sub-steps only took seconds. Is anyone else having those problems as well? -Gereon

Increment CFBundleShortVersionString through XCode Cloud ZIP Upload
Hello, We are building a web extension that is running on all browsers. For Safari, i have used the "XCode Cloud Safari Extension Packager" tool. We have no Mac or anything to work with. For the first upload, there was no problem, and the app is currently published on Safari. Recently, we did on update on this web extension. So i thought i'd reuse the "XCode Cloud Safari Extension Packager" to upload my new version of the web extension. But there is always the following error for each build : Invalid Pre-Release Train. The train version '1.0' is closed for new build submissions This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleShortVersionString [1.0] in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously approved version [1.0]. Please find more information about CFBundleShortVersionString at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleshortversionstring Of course, the web extension manifest.json version is set to something else than "1.0". And i have created a new app version from the "Distrubution" pane in AppStoreConnect. But nothing helped. So my questions are the following : How do i set the version of the Safari Web Extension from AppStoreConnect when uploading a new ZIP ? How do Safari Extension Packager determine the version of the app if it is not from the manifest.json version ? Is it a bug from Safari Extension Packager or is there something i am missing ?

Xcode Cloud: The page you’re looking for can’t be found.
We started seeing an access issue today when attempting to go to the Xcode Cloud tab in App Store Connect. When you navigate to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/:teamId/apps/:appId/ci we're seeing the following message: The page you’re looking for can’t be found. The page you’re looking for does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it. I am the account holder so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Is there an ongoing outage or problem in Xcode Cloud? And, if so, where can I monitor this accurately?

Xcode Cloud timeouts
Hey, We're crunching to get our products ready for the announcements next week but are being slowed down by Xcode Cloud. Builds are failing and are extremely slow. We're using the latest Xcode beta and latest macOS release so we can upload our builds continuously to TestFlight. We're seeing builds taking up to almost an hour, even though takes around 10-15 minutes when it doesn't fail. The errors we're seeing seem to be timeout, for example: Showing All Errors Only The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild build invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes. Here are links to some builds which have been restarted multiple times but keep failing for reasons out of our control. Please advice on how to get unblocked. https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/69a6de80-3540-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1/apps/1102236212/ci/groups/8da12ae3-b454-4810-abe8-829f1af56a54 https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/69a6de80-3540-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1/apps/1102236212/ci/groups/ee7b1fae-1363-4265-9d64-692434b7ebf2 https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/69a6de80-3540-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1/apps/1102236212/ci/groups/fd915140-db2c-4b3b-bff4-16939c22665a

Xcode Cloud: All Targets Suddenly Timeout During Archive
Hi everyone, Starting today, my Xcode Cloud CI workflow can no longer successfully build iOS/macOS/visionOS targets. The Archive step does not report any errors, but the xcodebuild command hangs indefinitely and eventually fails with the following message: The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes. My iOS and macOS targets can still be built, but the build time has increased by 2-3x compared to before. That's interesting. After I removed the visionOS target, the iOS target also failed to build. Additionally, since today, I’ve noticed a significant increase in network-related errors in Xcode Cloud. There have been multiple failures to download dependencies from Homebrew or GitHub. I have confirmed that CI versions which previously built successfully are now failing, while running the same build commands locally works fine. Based on these observations, I suspect there may be an issue with the Xcode Cloud environment itself. Has anyone else encountered similar problems? Any suggestions or updates would be appreciated! Thanks!

Unable to re-enable Xcode Cloud — “opt-out request is being processed” message
Hi everyone, After opting out of Xcode Cloud, I tried to set it up again for my product. However, I’m getting the following message when attempting to reconnect to my source control provider: "Connecting Xcode Cloud with your source control provider was incomplete. Products cannot be configured to use Xcode Cloud while your team’s opt-out request is being processed." It’s been 7 days since I opted out, and I still haven’t been able to re-enable Xcode Cloud. I’ve tried reconnecting both GitHub and Bitbucket, but the same message appears in both cases. I’d like to know: How long does the opt-out (deregistration) process usually take to complete? Is there any way to check the current status or expedite the reactivation process? Team Type: Organization Region: Japan Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Xcode Cloud Build timeouted by cloning our Bitbucket-Server Repository
We want to replace our CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps with Xcode Cloud and are currently facing a critical hurdle. For some time now, we’ve observed that the PoC pipelines in Xcode Cloud are having major issues cloning our repositories stored on our Bitbucket Server. More and more pipeline runs are timing out because Xcode Cloud cannot receive the data. Today I spoke with our network team to check whether we might have an issue on our side affecting access to the repository, but we couldn’t find any problems. Cloning the repository to an external machine only takes 30 seconds, so the host’s bandwidth doesn’t seem to be the problem. However, our network specialists did discover one message: Significance: Request abnormal event: high total time Connection abnormal event: client has a slow receive rate If this is the bottleneck in the system, we may ultimately have to stay with Azure DevOps and Fastlane in order to continue providing our product teams with reliable builds. I look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance. Maik

Xcode Cloud Builds Failing with 7-8 Errors - Builds Stuck in "Processing" on App Store Connect
Hey there. I'm experiencing a critical issue with Xcode Cloud builds for my macOS application (bundle ID: com.mymind.mymind-mac) where builds fail in Xcode Cloud with 7-8 errors, yet all logs indicate successful completion. Additionally, when manually uploading builds, they become stuck in "Processing" status indefinitely on App Store Connect. Issue Details: Problem: Xcode Cloud reports 7-8 build errors but logs show no fatal errors Secondary Issue: Builds uploaded to App Store Connect remain in "Processing" status indefinitely Platform: macOS application with Safari Web Extension Xcode Version: 26.1.1 (26B100) - Xcode 26.1 Build Environment: Xcode Cloud What Works: Package dependency resolution completes successfully Archive creation succeeds (** ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED **) Export succeeds (** EXPORT SUCCEEDED **) Provisioning profiles are created correctly Code signing completes without errors Manual upload to App Store Connect completes What Fails: Xcode Cloud: Build process fails with 7-8 errors, but no corresponding errors in logs App Store Connect: Builds remain stuck in "Processing" status and never become available for TestFlight or submission Logs Examined: All logs indicate successful completion with no fatal errors: xcodebuild-archive.log - Shows ** ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED ** xcodebuild-export-archive.log - Shows ** EXPORT SUCCEEDED ** resolve_package_dependencies.log - All packages resolved successfully IDEDistribution_standard.log - All distribution steps complete IDEDistributionPipeline.log - Packaging succeeds, code signing succeeds IDEDistributionProvisioning.log - Provisioning profiles created successfully IDEDistribution_critical.log - Only shows deprecated command warning Only Warning Found: App Store Connect request for store configuration failed for account Session Proxy Provider Unable to authenticate with App Store Connect (Error Domain=DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation.DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError Code=1) Failed to find an account with App Store Connect access for team XXXXXXX This warning appears non-fatal as the export completes successfully afterward. Xcode Cloud Behavior: Xcode Cloud dashboard shows 7-8 errors No error details are visible in the Xcode Cloud UI All log files downloaded from Xcode Cloud show successful completion Build artifacts are created successfully App Store Connect Behavior: Builds upload successfully (confirmed via Xcode) Build appears in App Store Connect with correct version/build number Status shows "Processing" with spinning indicator Build never completes processing (tested for 24+ hours) No email notifications about processing failures App Configuration: macOS application (minimum version: macOS 12.0) Includes Safari Web Extension (SafariWebExtension.appex) Includes Lottie framework Uses automatic signing with managed provisioning profiles Also tried with manual signing Both Development and Distribution certificates valid until November 2026 Questions: Why does Xcode Cloud report 7-8 errors when all logs show successful completion? Where can I find the actual error details? Why do builds remain stuck in "Processing" on App Store Connect? Is there a backend validation failing that isn't being reported? Are there additional diagnostic logs that would show the actual errors Xcode Cloud is detecting? Is this related to the App Store Connect authentication warning? The logs suggest Xcode Cloud can't authenticate with App Store Connect properly, despite having valid credentials. Could this be related to Xcode 26.1.1 (26.1) compatibility with Xcode Cloud or App Store Connect processing? Steps Taken: Verified all certificates and provisioning profiles are valid Tested local builds and manual uploads (upload succeeds) Reviewed all available log files Waited 24+ hours for App Store Connect processing Tested both development and distribution exports (both succeed) This issue is completely blocking our automated CI/CD pipeline and preventing us from releasing updates to the App Store. We cannot use Xcode Cloud for its intended purpose, and even manual workarounds fail at the App Store Connect processing stage. Any hints or ideas would be welcome.

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.

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)))

Xcode Cloud builds are running very long, trying to launch simulator
We have a simple workflow that just runs the Test action on my unit_tests scheme (see Xcode Cloud workflow configuration screenshot). The workflow is configured to use Xcode 16.4 (Latest Release), macOS Sequoia 15.6 (Latest Release), and iOS 18.0 simulators. Today, this workflow has been consistently running indefinitely. The Xcode cloud runner tries to launch the simulator to execute the tests, but it fails. See the error message in the screenshot from Xcode Cloud logs. Link to corresponding build is in my Feedback Assistant ticket. It continues to retry this operation for a very long time — I had one job that ran for over 90 minutes. Link to corresponding build also in that same Feedback Assistant ticket. Are Xcode Cloud runners perhaps currently undergoing maintenance? Or is something else going on. I would appreciate if Xcode Cloud usage from today could be refunded to my team’s account. Feedback Assistant ticket #FB20195292. Error message: MyApp encountered an error (Failed to prepare device 'iPhone 16' 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)))

Tests on Xcode Cloud with Apps importing CoreML
So, our app imports CoreML and loads the CoreML models when starting up. Locally all tests succeed consistently. Running Tests on Xcode Cloud, they all fail with (UI and Unit Tests) App (6846) encountered an error (Early unexpected exit, operation never finished bootstrapping - no restart will be attempted. (Underlying Error: Test crashed with signal ill before establishing connection.)) the test instance is busy for 35min and then just aborts, with all tests failing. This sounds to me like the simulator is maybe showing some exception or is stuck? Or is it possible that xcode server runs in a special environment that gets stuck on loading CoreML models?

Xcode Cloud fails while exporting archive
Hi, Since Xcode 26.2 beta 1, till now (I thought RC or actual release will solve this issue) I have problems exporting archive to appstore via Xcode Cloud (locally everything works and using Xcode 26.2 I was able to submit app to AppStore). Build is archived successfully but during export I get an error Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information.

Xcode Cloud fails to install/launch macOS test runner
When running a SwiftUI Multiplatform app in Xcode Cloud I'm getting the following error: CIWatcher encountered an error in CIWatcherTests failed with: Failed to install or launch the test runner. (Underlying Error: Could not launch “CIWatcherTests”. Runningboard has returned error 5. Please check the system logs for the underlying cause of the error. (Underlying Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Launch failed. (Underlying Error: Launchd job spawn failed))) This runs fine on iOS and all those tests pass. The SwiftUI app on Mac is a menu bar app so I'm not sure if this could be the issue as it's not launching for some reason on the Xcode Cloud system? Maybe I need to add some run option to make this work? When run locally both iOS and macOS pass all the tests successfully
