Xcode Cloud uses beta version when configured for latest release

My builds failed today with this error:

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.

The thing is, I have Xcode Cloud configured to use the latest release. There is a separate configuration for "Latest beta or release", so why is it using the Xcode 16.2 Beta 3 build? This is clearly a beta.

If you're going to give me an option to use the latest release, then it should do what it says.

It's clearly a bug on Apple side. For now, you will just have to revert to Xcode 16.1.
