Any Xcode Cloud workflow with 'Pull Request Changes' as one of its start conditions has suddenly stopped working altogether. The workflow is never started. This issue seems to have begun within the last 48 hours.
Removing the 'Pull Request Changes' start condition makes the workflows functional again.
The test I just ran to confirm this:
Created a new Xcode Cloud workflow
Selected Start Conditions: 'Pull Request Changes' from/into any branch, when any files are changed
Selected Test as the 'Actions'
Created a pull request on my github repository
The workflow was never started
Added 'Branch Changes' to the Start Conditions, specifying branch-a under 'Custom Branches'
Pushed to branch-a
The workflow was never started
Removed 'Pull Request Changes' from the Start Conditions
Pushed to branch-a
The workflow finally started
Curious if others are having this issue? And if so, is there a timeline for when this will be resolved? I have confirmed that our Github actions are configured properly, and believe this is indeed an issue with Xcode Cloud.

Hi everyone,
usually i used to work on my xamarin application from a windows OS using Visual Studio application.
When testing IOS apps i used to connect to macbook that my boss has to my windows pc.
Nowdays i have a big problem while i try to publish an app. I select Release configuration, rebuild the project and in this case it asks me to login in with my Apple developer account but i always get an errore:
'There is an error while trying to access the auth service is not available'
Does anyone know a different way to publish an IOS app? I really do not know what to do.
This is my first time trying to publish an IOS app..
I added a new target for macOS to my existing iPhone app. The new target ran successfully in Xcode. However, when I committed the changes, Xcode Cloud generated the error.
I don't know what the error means. Would someone please give me a pointer? Thank you.
Hej hej
tl;dr. I have problems building a Playground App using Xcode Cloud and I created a reference repository to reproduce this. Did anyone try this before and succeeded? Maybe you have a hint about what's going wrong here.
Initial Failure
I followed the documentation for Building Swift packages and Swift Playgrounds app projects with Xcode Cloud and I have always run into the following error message:
❌ Code Signing
Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information
Check Logs
“Fair game!” I thought, checked out the logs and see this error appearing twice in each of the following steps:
Export archive for ad-hoc distribution
Export archive for development distribution
Export archive for app-store distribution
5.3 Sec.
Run command: 'xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath /Volumes/workspace/tmp/3546d064-74fa-42d0-8b36-3623e18941be.xcarchive -exportPath /Volumes/workspace/adhocexport -exportOptionsPlist /Volumes/workspace/ci/ad-hoc-exportoptions.plist '-DVTPortalRequest.Endpoint=http://172.16.35.199:8089' -DVTProvisioningIsManaged=YES -IDEDistributionLogDirectory=/Volumes/workspace/tmp/ad-hoc-export-archive-logs -DVTSkipCertificateValidityCheck=YES -DVTServicesLogLevel=3'
Error
Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70
Moving forward, I downloaded the logs artifact as suggested earlier. This is IDEDistribution.standard.log:
2024-10-27 11:15:04 +0000 [MT] Starting export with options: {"embedOnDemandResourcesAssetPacksInBundle":true,"teamID":"38R2LLP8AF","stripSwiftSymbols":true,"thinning":"<none>","iCloudContainerEnvironment":"Development","destination":"export","reformatterBundleIdentifier":"hamburg.plus.encore","uploadSymbols":true,"raiseProfileSupportOptionalToRequired":false,"buildNumber":"4","testFlightInternalTestingOnly":false,"manageAppVersionAndBuildNumber":false,"method":"ad-hoc","generateAppStoreInformation":false}
This is IDEDistribution.critical.log (actually it's three times this single error, but I'll spare you the repetition):
2024-10-27 11:15:04 +0000 [MT] -[IDEDistributionMethodManager orderedDistributionMethodsForTask:archive:logAspect:]: Error = Error Domain=IDEDistributionMethodManagerErrorDomain Code=2 "Unknown Distribution Error" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unknown Distribution Error}
And this is an excerpt (of hopefully relevant details) of IDEDistribution.verbose.log (again, this happens three times, only giving the relevant data points here):

Investigate Xcode Archive (*.xcarchive)
At this point, I downloaded the Xcode archive from AppStoreConnect and realized that it only contained debug symbols for the app, but not the app itself.
> ls -la /Users/herzi/Downloads/….xcarchive/Products
total 0
drwxrwxr-x@ 2 herzi staff 64 27 Okt 12:21 .
drwxrwxr-x@ 5 herzi staff 160 27 Okt 12:22 ..
Notice the absence of the Applications folder that would contain the Application.app bundle.
Current Status
So I created a clean, sample repository for my integration. Did anyone try this before and succeeded? Maybe you have a hint about what's going wrong here.
I am using an iPhone 14, with IOS 18 on a managed account and keep getting "Temporarily Unavailable" error when trying to launch TestFlight. This app worked on another organization managed device (same device, IOS) but several others are giving temp unavailable errors. Can anyone help guide me on how to fix this error? I have tried uninstalling, restarting, reinstalling several times with no luck.
I have not been able to open any of my apps since I uploaded my latest update midOctober 2023.
Previously I have tried everything on forums from removing derived data, adding new options in build folder and more.
Since then I have wasted hours trying to open any app from my iCloud / hard disk and I wonder if part of the problem is caused by backing up to iCloud, as I can open from an external hard disk.
It takes almost as long to upload from hard disk than cloud so whole thing annoying, does this add clues to this frustrating problem ?
Also when I opened one of my apps it had made hundreds of unassigned assets that all had to be removed individually.
I have no idea how to continue with my work I have three other apps in progress, but am halted at present but such a stupid small detail.
// here is full commet
/Users/ruwickigmail.com/Desktop/0-APPS-2023/InstaAnimates/InstaAnimates.xcodeproj: warning:
Unable to find a target which creates the host product for value of $(TEST_HOST) '/Users/ruwickigmail.com/Desktop/0-APPS-2023/InstaAnimates/DerivedData/InstaAnimates/Index.noindex/Build/Products/Debug-maccatalyst/InstaAnimates.app/Contents/MacOS/InstaAnimates' (in target 'InstaAnimatesTests' from project 'InstaAnimates')
My bundle ID is fine but it crashes on loading so may be due to something in signing but everything looks fine.
I note that there are hundreds of enquiries on the forums, but most are unanswered. as this is an regular Xcode Apple problem and there are hundreds of people being put of continuing with their apps could the Apple team look into this please.
Hello Developers,
I regularly use Xcode Cloud to run unit tests, but since the release of Xcode 16, the testing process has become significantly slower.
I am seeking advice on how to improve the situation.
[ Details ]
With Xcode 15.4, unit tests took about 1 hour to complete.
However, since upgrading to Xcode 16, the tests have not finished even after 2 hours.
The blog post linked below also mentions significant overhead in running unit tests on Xcode Cloud, even with Xcode 15.4:
https://dwango.github.io/articles/2024-07_nicoiphone_xcode_cloud/#%E3%83%86%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E5%AE%9F%E8%A1%8C%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%8C%E5%A2%97%E5%8A%A0%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%97%E3%81%BE%E3%81%86%E5%95%8F%E9%A1%8C
According to the blog, while reviewing the xcodebuild-test-without-building.log, it was observed that the time from start to finish was about 4 minutes.
However, the overall “Run xcodebuild test-without-building” process took 23 minutes, with around 20 minutes of apparent idle time.
It seems that the idle time has increased even further with Xcode 16, resulting in more than twice the testing time.
[ Question/Request ]
Is there any way to reduce the overhead when running unit tests on Xcode Cloud, especially with the increased overhead in Xcode 16?
Any advice or solutions for improving the performance would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Hi!
I have some unit tests which send and receive local notifications. Unfortunately, when ran on Xcode Cloud, the tests time out. I assume due to a call to requestAuthorization in init() (I have started using Swift Testing).
Is there a way to get around this issue in order to run the tests?
I Use Angular/Ionic and none matter with Android.
But with IOS, it's very complicated.
I Use Xcode CLoud, but I have this error :
Unable to open base configuration reference file '/Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/App/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-App/Pods-App.release.xcconfig'.
App.xcodeproj:1
I don't know this path : /Volumes/workspace/repository and I don't know why Xcode cloud use it..
I have on my local : nameApp//ios/App/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-App/Pods-App.release.xcconfig'.
I need your help please, already 1 month I've been on it just to succeed in building on ios
I'm running on xcode 16, the project archives just fine on the local machine. However, with xcodecloud. It's running into exist code 70 on the following command

Dear
We try to generate IPA with Xcode Cloud but this task fail in Export archive phase (Export archive for app-store distribution).
The error that appear in the archive logs is:
error: exportArchive Provisioning profile "iOS Team Store Provisioning Profile: cl.app.myapp" doesn't include the com.apple.CommCenter.fine-grained entitlement.
Any idea about to resolve this problem ?

Error: 'Runningboard has returned error 5'
I am able to run my unit tests locally just fine. When I run them to from xcode cloud It fails everytime. I did notice in app store connect that it gives me a warning 'Grant access to the following repositories to allow them to be used for this product.' as I am using google sign in iOS(https://github.com/google/googlesignin-ios.git). However I cannot grant this access as I do not have privileges to google code base. I have imported the google sign in via swift package manager and everything works fine.
This is the report from xcode cloud if it helps. Happy to add any additional info that will help
Hi
I am trying to integrate Xcode Cloud in our project but always getting This operation could not be completed error on Grant Access to Your Source Code screen. Upon send a feedback got to know that there is a API failure with status code 403.
please help in resolving this
Thanks
I have been investigating a recent breakage where apps being installed via Testflight are crashing on launch with no helpful crash reports, or even console-accessible logging. More detail: The app launches just fine on iPadOS 18 beta (ipad) but the same build doesn't work on iPadOS 17.6.1
At my wit's end, I checked the entire build environment - was I using XCode beta still somewhere?
Well, in the XCode Cloud workflow, I had selected "Release" for the latest released version of XCode. And MUCH to my surprise, I see that XCode 16 RC is selected. Why? That's not released yet...
Anyway, this is just a friendly PSA to check your XCode Cloud workflows if you choose "release" when new XCode releases are upcoming... or peg your XCode Cloud environment versions.
And I still don't have an explanation why Testflight XCode 16 RC is producing builds that crash on iPadOS 17.6.1 (for us) but not the latest iPadOS 18 public beta...
I archived and uploaded a build with Xcode 16 RC earlier today since it wasn't available in Xcode Cloud at that moment. The upload was successful. Since then, Xcode Cloud was updated with Xcode 16 RC and I can build and deploy to TestFlight and App Store Connect that way too.
Now, upon submitting my app to App Review, the binary is being rejected as invalid due to unsupported version of Xcode. Rejections Sept 9th at 11:28 PM Central and Sept 10th 12:37 AM.
Here is the error message I received via email:
ITMS-90111: Unsupported SDK or Xcode version - App submissions must use the latest Xcode and SDK Release Candidates (RC). For details on currently supported versions, visit: https://developer.apple.com/news/releases.
Upon visiting the site, you can see a developer news article stating that App Review is now accepting builds created from Xcode 16 RC. I assume this is just the system going through upgrades and the whole system isn't updated yet.
Is anyone else having issues submitting Xcode 16 RC builds to App Review? Or the inverse, has anyone had success yet?

I was downloaded Xcode 16 Release Candidate 9 September I try to send my app for checking in App Store but I received
Unsupported SDK or Xcode version. Your app was built with an SDK or version of Xcode that isn’t supported. Although you can use beta versions of SDKs and Xcode to build and upload apps to App Store Connect, you need to use the latest Release Candidates (RC) for SDKs and Xcode to submit the app. For details on currently supported SDKs and versions of Xcode, visit: https://developer.apple.com/news/releases.
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!
My workflow has been running tests on iOS 15, 16 and 17 for a long time now, but suddenly it started to fail for iOS 15 and 16.
The error does not seem to be code related, since it is a Xcode Cloud failure saying: "Failed to download iOS 16.1 simulator runtime".
The exact same issue is showing for iOS 15. It works as expected on iOS 17.
I have also reported this in the Feedback Assistant: FB14855036
If someone knows a work-around for this issue, I'd be happy to hear about it!
Since August 27th 2024 Xcode Cloud fails to clone our Github repository.
The reported error is LFS related: "smudge filter lfs failed"
Nothing in our repository configuration has changed and the LFS files have been in place for a long time.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?
Feedback: FB14975627
I have an inconsistent Xcode Cloud failure that I'm hoping to learn more about?
Additional context is available in Apple Support case 102378073626 and Feedback Assistant FB13769150.
Every 3 months, ~half of my project's Xcode Cloud builds will fail for a few days in a row. I usually file a support request with Apple, they fix something on their end, builds succeed, and then exhibit the same failures again in 3 months.
I'm hoping to learn anything that y'all can share about:
Why does this happen?
Does it coincide with new macOS versions being deployed onto Xcode Cloud?
What did Apple do to fix it each time?
Is there anything I can change about my project to make the failure less likely? (Such as putting a delay between the clone, brew install, and pod install steps that all hammer GitHub?)
Specific symptoms: Xcode Cloud builds will fail after receiving an HTTP 502 from GitHub. This usually happens when it attempts to clone a repo, brew install, or pod install.
One example:
