I have checked that my scheme is shared and I do in fact have the scheme in my xcode project. But whenever I try to run Xcode cloud, it fails with the message that "A scheme named 'MyAppScheme' does not exist in MyAppProject.xcodeproj"
Any tips on what I could be doing wrong?

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?

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 !

Hi - I was recently added to Apple Developer Team, and I am trying to upload an App to our Team's App Store Connect account for TestFlight distribution. I am trying to use XCode Cloud to this all automatically, but it is currently giving me this error:
"Invalid Bundle ID. Bundle ID "com.XXX.YYY" could not be automatically registered because it is not available. Update the bundle ID of your project and try again."
I am not sure if this is related to the fact that when I try to associate my XCode Account (XCode -> Settings -> Accounts), I only see my (Personal Team) account even after removing that account and re-adding it.
Additionally, when I go my App -> Targets -> Signing & Capabilities and I check / uncheck automatically manage signing. I only see my Personal Team account. When I try to download a Provisioning Profile, I see "No Valid Teams, Unable to Find Any Valid Teams."
I need to keep the bundle ID of the project as is because it is associated with a Firebase backend.
What should I try next? Thanks!

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?
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?
Hello everyone!
When I run UI Tests on Xcode Cloud, I often encounter unexpected failures. Checking the screen recording, I found that the iOS Simulator could go into a black screen with a white Apple logo and a progress bar for a period after the test starts. This behavior of the Simulator causes my app's UI Tests to fail randomly, which greatly affects the practical use of UI Tests.
I suspect this phenomenon is unrelated to my app and test cases, so I'm asking if anyone else has encountered a similar issue. 🤔
Last year I used the iOS Distribution Managed Certificate (Enterprise Program) to sign an App and to distribute it internally. The Cert is still valid until May 2026. But its associated Provisiong Profile (which is not visible in the Apple Portal, but within Xcode when you export your archive) expired last week. Until then it was impossible for me to somehow force renew the profile and that lead to the fact that my app was not usable for a day, because the renewal was done after the expiration of the old one.
Whats the whole point of the managed signing if can't influence the provisioning update. To be clear: I don't speak about the certificate - just about the profile.
Or am I using it wrong?
Hi,
We have an app that is a default mail client, so it has this entry in its entitlements file: com.apple.developer.mail-client. This seems to create issues with ad-hoc distribution.
We can distribute the app on App Store Connect without any issues and have been doing so for a while.
We wanted to try using Xcode Cloud to manage our releases. The app export works fine for both App Store Distribution and Development Distribution.
However, the ad-hoc distribution step fails. (We don't need ad-hoc distribution, but Xcode Cloud seems to prevent us from removing this step.)
I tried building and releasing the app locally for ad-hoc distribution and encountered the same error as on Xcode Cloud.
When Xcode tries to generate the profile, it outputs the following error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile: com.infomaniak.mail" failed qualification checks:
Profile doesn't support Default Mail App.
Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.mail-client entitlement.
Is it something broken with our config ? What are we missing ?
Local error in Xcode Organizer:
Remote error on Xcode cloud:
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!

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?
My application is in flightTest mode.
I received my first two crash reports in XCODE /Organizer. The context is well described, and I was able to isolate the locations where very serious errors occurred.
My application is connected. I'm missing one piece of data in this crash report: the time of the crash.
This will help me see what (in my case) static data was being read on the data server at that time. This will help me investigate.
Is it possible to obtain this information?
Hi,
I'm having a really hard time figuring out why I cannot perform cloud signing via Developer ID with xcodebuild.
I have a macOS application, which I can perfectly cloud sign the following way:
Sign into Xcode with my Admin + Account Holder Apple ID.
Delete my Developer ID Application certificate from Keychain Access.
In Xcode, click Archive.
When archived, click "Distribute App" in Xcode Organizer.
The app is cloud signed. I prove this by extracting the certificate codesign --extract-certificates -- /path/to/app.app then locate the 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.32 bit mentioned by Quinn in this post. I however do it by simply opening the certifiacte with Keychain Access, where I can investigate the content of the certificate, rather than use that tool he does.
Then, I do the following to attempt to cloud sign via xcodebuild:
Create an API Key for the whole team in Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect with the "Admin" role selected.
Download the private key .p8 file to ~/Downloads.
Sign out of my Apple ID in Xcode by removing the account in Settings > Accounts.
Create an archive:
xcodebuild archive -scheme "<redacted scheme name>" -archivePath ~/Downloads/archive.xcarchive -authenticationKeyIssuerID <redacted issuer id> -authenticationKeyID <redacted key id> -authenticationKeyPath ~/Downloads/AuthKey_<redacted key id>.p8 -allowProvisioningUpdates
The archive is successfully created, with a new "Apple Development: Created via API (TEAM ID)" naming.
Export the archive:
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath ~/Downloads/archive.xcarchive -authenticationKeyIssuerID <redacted issuer id> -authenticationKeyID <redacted key id> -authenticationKeyPath ~/Downloads/AuthKey_<redacted key id>.p8 -allowProvisioningUpdates -exportOptionsPlist ~/Downloads/exportOptions.plist -exportPath ~/Downloads
which then fails:
2025-03-07 10:27:58.706 xcodebuild[2152:40704] [MT] IDEDistribution: -[IDEDistributionLogging _createLoggingBundleAtPath:]: Created bundle at path "/var/folders/tn/yy7ynz3d0yb4p3sd_5q_wl0h0000gn/T/<redacted app name> macOS_2025-03-07_10-27-58.706.xcdistributionlogs".
error: exportArchive Cloud signing permission error
error: exportArchive No signing certificate "Developer ID Application" found

}
Which is really weird, since I am using an API key with Admin rights. If I create a new key, and use it only for this command, App Store Connect does show the "Last Used" date as today after running the command.
I thought some time might need to pass, but the issue has been persisting since yesterday.
What could be wrong here? I do have a managed Developer ID Application certificate showing in my account but I still can't retrieve it with an Admin right imbued API key.

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!

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",....

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.

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.

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?
