Hi,
I have an iOS app already released on the App Store and I am preparing an update for version 1.1.
The problem is that my Mac is currently running a macOS beta. Because of that, the stable public version of Xcode does not work correctly on this system due to version compatibility issues. I can build and archive the app only with Xcode beta.
However, when I upload the archive made with Xcode beta to App Store Connect, the upload is rejected because builds for App Store distribution cannot be submitted from a beta version of Xcode.
So I am stuck in this situation:
- stable Xcode cannot be used on my current macOS beta installation;
- Xcode beta can build and archive the app;
- App Store Connect does not accept archives built with Xcode beta;
- the app update is ready, but I cannot submit it.
What is the recommended solution in this case?
Can I use Xcode Cloud or another Apple-supported cloud build option to archive the app with a stable Xcode version, even if my local Mac is running macOS beta?
If Xcode Cloud is the correct approach, how can I enable it when I do not see the Xcode Cloud option inside Xcode and App Store Connect only shows the general Xcode Cloud introduction page?
I would like to avoid downgrading macOS if possible, but I need to submit a valid App Store build made with a supported non-beta Xcode version.
Thanks.
