Xcode Cloud Export Archive Fails with Xcode 26.2 RC

Export archive step fails in Xcode Cloud when using Xcode 26.2 (17C48) RC.

  • The same project exports successfully when switching back to Xcode 26.1 in Xcode Cloud workflow settings.
  • The same project exports successfully when using Xcode 26.2 RC locally.
  • Projects without Apple Watch app do not encounter this issue (not so sure about this).

From Xcode Cloud UI:

Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information.

Run command: 'xcodebuild -exportArchive ...
Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70

From xcodebuild-export-archive.log:

Workaround

  • Switching Xcode Cloud workflow to use Xcode 26.1 works around the issue.
  • Using Xcode 26.2 RC locally works around the issue.

Same issue with the stable 26.2 (17C52)

Reproducible with Xcode 26.2 (17C52)

Have had the issue. Our project also has Apple Watch.

@DTS Engineer Thanks for the information!

Based on my observations (after repeated experiments and spending quite a bit of my Xcode Cloud quota), it seems that projects with an Apple Watch target cannot be exported normally on Xcode Cloud using Xcode 26.2. iOS projects without an Apple Watch target do not have this issue.

Project with Apple Watch app target:

Thank you for the post and the image. Those have proven to be extremely helpful. I have two thoughts in mind regarding your situation. First, have you installed the latest version of Xcode available on the App Store? Second, are you targeting the release versions of iOS and watchOS? If both of these conditions are met, the next and most crucial step is to ensure that you have filed a bug report using the sysdiagnose tool from your machine. Additionally, it is essential to have the logs from the Xcode build that indicate the errors.

My apologies that you are using Xcode Cloud quota. I will be honest that I do not know how that part works, but I will get familiar with it soon.
