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!

I have the same issue. The use of Metal for my project had to deal with "compiling" an exr skybox file. The workaround is to generate a the compiled skybox file locally (a realityenv file) and check that into your repo. My workaround has a "Run Script" in Xcode right after the compile source phase to do this step and an Xcode Cloud Environment Variable called XCODE_CLOUD.
if [ "$XCODE_CLOUD" = "true" ]; then
exit 0
