We have had 2 Builds so far stuck archiving. Both indicate in their logs that Build Archive took a normal amount of time (9m and 19m) but the step Archive - iOS never finished. One of them ran for more than 6 days until we noticed and canceled it. The other one ran for 18 hours, and also had to be canceled manually. They were in two different projects, with no significant changes. The first build ran on Xcode 16.4 (16F6) and macOS Sequoia 15.6 (24G84), which we had had no issues like this with until just now, and the second ran on Xcode 26 (17A324) and macOS Tahoe 26 (25A354). We tested our app on the newest Xcode version and had no issues.

This is happening to our team as well. We had a build run overnight last night, stuck archiving. As well as several yesterday that ran for many hours (more than 2 hours) and had to be manually canceled.
It was failing because the version string in our Info.plist was the same as an approved, "Pending Developer Release" version submitted on App Store Connect.
We received (and missed) emails about this, until one of us noticed them this morning. Usually that sort of failure is reported in Xcode Cloud logs, and results in a failure of the job on-time.
We should be refunded for the hours that the job spent idling, however applicable.
