Xcode Cloud build gets stuck after completion?
Recently, I have trouble with my Xcode Cloud builds, where they seemingly complete, but the very final step does not happen. I am building from the same codebase for both macOS and iOS (I have two “Archive” steps in my workflow, one for iOS and one for macOS). The iOS one usually completes fast without problems. The macOS log ending looks like this, and remains stuck forever, with the macOS build in the “spinning progress” state and never completing. Is there something I can do on my end to make this work better? I would not want to go back to manual builds, Xcode Cloud is convenient and was working well for a while, but this is really annoying lately.

macOS test case - Could not launch app
Hi, Overview I am using Xcode Cloud for my multi platform app. The macOS test case fails, however the iOS test case runs and succeeds. I don't have any UI test cases written, the test case are simple and have nothing platform (macOS) specific. Questions What can I do to fix this? Is there any user privileges needed to launch the macOS app for testing? I ask because when I ran the UI tests locally it launched the app and asked for my macOS user password. Just wondering if that is the reason it didn't launch in Xcode Cloud. Error: <Appname> encountered an error (Failed to install or launch the test runner. If you believe this error represents a bug, please attach the result bundle at /Volumes/workspace/resultbundle.xcresult.(Underlying Error: Could not launch "AppnameTests.

Xcode Cloud on Apple Silicon any time soon?
I'm currently using another provider for CI/CD. They've been offering Apple Silicon builds for over a year now. When we switched over, we saw our build times cut in half. I've seen similar results locally, back when I bought an M1 Mac. So, recently, I tried to use Xcode Cloud on my project. My build time is nearly 45 minutes, where my build time on my current system is about 15 minutes, max. Since I work on a team, and we make regular commits, having a 45 minute turnaround is not ideal. When I looked at the logs of my Xcode Cloud project, I saw a lot "x86_64" stuff in there, which led me to believe that Xcode Cloud is still building on Intel machines. Additionally, I run tests on my builds. The build time alone (before running tests) was almost 20 minutes. The 15-minute time I cited with my current CI/CD included build time & tests running. So, a whole cycle finishes on my current setup before tests are even run. I noticed that there was a bunch of x86_64 in the logs, which made me think that Xcode Cloud is still using Intel. Is this true? I've just gotten really used to faster build times, and I can't move onto a system like this, where the times are so drastically different. Like, I wouldn't mind build time that would add only a few more minutes to what I have now. But going from 15 -> 45 minutes is a real problem.

UI Tests with mock server
I'm using Xcode Cloud for release builds and unit tests, and it works fine. Recently, I added some XCUITests, but to run it the way I need I started to use this mock server. Basically, the idea is you define before each test what responses you want to get for specific requests. It works like a charm locally. But if I want to run it in Xcode Cloud, it looks like the server has failed to launch. The mock server is a separately launched binary file. I think this is because this permission I get when launch it locally. So, my question is how to allow this kind of permission in Xcode Cloud to make my UITests works correctly? You can find a detailed instruction how server is launched on a github page I provided.

Hello, I'm getting started for my project with Xcode Cloud since I upgraded to the macOS Sequioa Beta and Xcode 16 now refuses to archive builds for TestFlight. Somewhere very late in the build process I get the following error: realitytool requires Metal for this operation and it is not available in this build environment The log says this happens at: Compile Skybox urban.skybox My project uses RealityKit. How can I fix this issue? Thanks!

Xcode Cloud randomly fails to resolve package dependencies
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 !

Cannot register the product
Hi, I'm trying to register the application with Xcode Cloud. For that, I click on the "cloud" button in Xcode. First steps goes OK, but it fails at "create App on App Store Connect" The error is Cannot register the product Usually, I change the bundle name, but this time it gets weird, as Xcode managed to create the Identifier, as it is not taken. So the identifier is created in the developer portal but it fails anyway. I also tried to create the app directly in the portal, and it works, therefore the app name is not the problem. Then I delete the app and try again with Xcode and it fails... Any solution for this issue please?

Unable to use Xcode Cloud - "does not have a remote repository"
I have an existing project, that's hosted in a self-hosted gitlab instance. Git works through terminal just fine (and has for years!) and the Source Control Navigator pane in Xcode shows the remote repository. However when I try to setup Xcode cloud I get a warning that there's the project does not hav a remote repository. I've tried clearing derived data, cleaning the build folder, restarting to no avail. I even tried creating a new project in Xcode, and having Xcode create the remote repository (which it did successfully). But no matter what I try it will not recognize the remote repository. I've also tried adding another remote origin, and I can see it just fine in the Xcode Source Control pane, but the Xcode cloud setup does not recognize it. Any suggestions?

How does DerivedData really work on Xcode Cloud?
Currently Im trying to save few files in it but on every run this folder is empty. I have the following script in ci_post_clone.sh mkdir ${CI_DERIVED_DATA_PATH} cd ${CI_DERIVED_DATA_PATH} ls -als touch test return 1 My expectation is that on the second run it would show test file in DerivedData or fail at creating the directory, but the issue is that this file is not created. does it need a successful build for this folder to be saved? in Xcode Cloud, in workflow environment I have unchecked Clean build Xcode Cloud will not restore derived data or caches for your builds, which may take significantly longer as a result.. One more question here would be what is meant by caches? are there other folders being saved? Also a bit of context. Im trying to build a Kotlin Multiplatform project but it fails with Showing All Issues > Could not resolve all files for configuration ':composeApp:iosArm64CompileKlibraries'. > Could not download lifecycle-viewmodel.klib (androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-iosarm64:2.9.0-alpha03) > Could not get resource 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/androidx/lifecycle/lifecycle-viewmodel-iosarm64/2.9.0-alpha03/lifecycle-viewmodel-iosarm64-2.9.0-alpha03.klib'. > Could not GET 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/androidx/lifecycle/lifecycle-viewmodel-iosarm64/2.9.0-alpha03/lifecycle-viewmodel-iosarm64-2.9.0-alpha03.klib'. > Got socket exception during request. It might be caused by SSL misconfiguration > Connection reset by peer my guess is that Xcode Cloud or Google servers probably has some limitation. So if I cache those libraries my project will hopefuly compile once again.

How are the "Mine" branches listed during a manual start determined?
Issue with "Mine" Branch Not Displaying After Switching GitHub Accounts in XcodeCloud I have been using XcodeCloud for a while. Recently, in one of my projects, I switched from using my personal GitHub account to a separate GitHub account for work purposes. Since then, when I manually start a workflow, nothing is displayed under the "Mine" section on the branch selection screen. I suspect that Xcode is attempting to list branches from the previously used account, causing branches from my new account not to appear. Where are these old account settings stored, and how can I reset them? For reference: In Xcode's Accounts settings, only the new GitHub account is present—the old account is no longer listed. The git user in the local repository has also been updated to the new one. Any assistance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Xcode Cloud unable to execute iOS tests
All tests build and run locally just fine. Xcode Cloud can build my code, but always fails to run tests with the below errors. How can I even begin to troubleshoot this? I think my setup is pretty straightforward. Just a simple test plan that execute some unit tests with Swift Testing. Run command: 'xcodebuild test-without-building -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,id=1EB80431-1A0B-4AD8-8EA6-968EA09C3F23' -resultBundleVersion 3 -resultBundlePath /Volumes/workspace/resultbundle.xcresult -resultStreamPath /Volumes/workspace/tmp/resultBundleStream679e7ce9-a095-4be5-8dfa-4c9df982e547.json -IDEPostProgressNotifications=YES -DTDKDisableSymbolCopying=YES -test-timeouts-enabled YES -maximum-test-execution-time-allowance 1800 -hideShellScriptEnvironment -maximum-parallel-testing-workers 8 -testProductsPath /Volumes/workspace/TestProducts.xctestproducts' (6378) encountered an error (Early unexpected exit, operation never finished bootstrapping - no restart will be attempted.

Xcode cloud build hanging at 46 percent, even though all stages have completed successfully
My Xcode cloud pipeline seems to be stuck at 46% inside the archiving step for some reason. When I run my project locally, it works, and uploading my build manually through Xcode to app store connect works too. However, when I try to build my app using Xcode cloud, it gets stuck after the archiving step has successfully completed. All checkmarks are green, but the archiving step does not terminate after one hour. I tried switching the cloud Xcode version, the cloud macOS version, changing my code. Nothing works and Xcode cloud is completely bricked. How do I fix this? There is no error message at all. The build is just stuck at 46% and nothing happens.

Cannot find "renamed.swift" in scope
I use xcode to rename a view in my project. It renamed the file, the struct, and all related items. However; since doing that my xcode cloud workflow fails, indicating that the it cannot find it in scope. I have confirmed that the file shows up in my BuildPhases - Compile Sources. I have confirmed it exists in my git repo, but Xcode Cloud still fails to find it in scope. I have confirmed it shows up in the correct Target Membership. I even tried removing it from the BuildPhases and re-adding it. How can I resolve this issue? Is there something else I can look at? btw, application builds fine locally on my machine.
