Xcode Cloud - TestFlight build number

When we are deploying to TestFlight from Xcode Cloud builds, the exportOptions.plist is being built by Xcode Cloud and using the cloud build number (CI_BUILD_NUMBER) for the TestFlight submission. We would like to be able to use the CFBundleVersion for TestFlight, as happens when you deploy from a local Xcode build. Is this currently possible or planned?

  • We ran across the same issue. Were you able to get this working?

Same issue here, we would like to have control over TestFlight build numbers. Is there a way around using CFBundleVersion instead of CI_BUILD_NUMBER?

There's a "Rebuild..." button. The "..." used to mean it will ask for more info, so I was thinking that might help. Instead it just started a new build without asking anything.

I wonder if setting CI_BUILD_NUMBER in the Environment section can bump it up?

    Not sure, but that means we need to edit workflow each time we want to do a release build.

  • I tried that but it throws an error about it being a reserved system variable.

App Store Connect --> Xcode Cloud --> Settings --> Build Number. You'll at least be able to set the next build number, and it should auto increment after that. I haven't found a way to pull from CFBundleVersion explicitly yet though.
