I'm currently using another provider for CI/CD. They've been offering Apple Silicon builds for over a year now. When we switched over, we saw our build times cut in half. I've seen similar results locally, back when I bought an M1 Mac.
So, recently, I tried to use Xcode Cloud on my project. My build time is nearly 45 minutes, where my build time on my current system is about 15 minutes, max.
Since I work on a team, and we make regular commits, having a 45 minute turnaround is not ideal. When I looked at the logs of my Xcode Cloud project, I saw a lot "x86_64" stuff in there, which led me to believe that Xcode Cloud is still building on Intel machines.
Additionally, I run tests on my builds. The build time alone (before running tests) was almost 20 minutes. The 15-minute time I cited with my current CI/CD included build time & tests running. So, a whole cycle finishes on my current setup before tests are even run.
I noticed that there was a bunch of x86_64 in the logs, which made me think that Xcode Cloud is still using Intel. Is this true? I've just gotten really used to faster build times, and I can't move onto a system like this, where the times are so drastically different. Like, I wouldn't mind build time that would add only a few more minutes to what I have now. But going from 15 -> 45 minutes is a real problem.

Hi everyone,
I’m unable to enable Xcode Cloud for any app on my account.
At the final step of the Xcode workflow setup (“Confirm App on App Store Connect”), pressing Complete always returns:
“ could not be added to Xcode Cloud. Authentication credentials are invalid.”
This affects both existing apps and completely new test apps with fresh bundle IDs.
What I’ve verified
• I am Account Holder and Admin.
• All agreements are accepted.
• App creation, bundle ID registration, and certificate management work normally.
• I’ve removed/re-added my Apple ID in Xcode and cleared all Xcode-* tokens from Keychain.
• Test apps in clean Git repos reproduce the same error.
Support
I have already opened Case ID 102769512657 with Apple Developer Support, but I’m posting here in case others have seen this issue or know of additional steps to confirm the provisioning state.

Xcode Cloud
After a break using AWS Macs for CI we are willing to give Xcode cloud another go. Unfortunately we are unable to complete the "Grant Access to your Source Code" step.
We tried multiple accounts including maintainer, owner and admin. We tried from multiple Macs and versions of macOS.
"Connecting Xcode Cloud with your source control provider was incomplete.
503 Service Unavailable. Please ensure that your repository is available and accepting connections."
Hello,
My project is GitLab and to access it we need VPN. How to connect Xcode Cloud to that repo if VPN is required for read it? Any solution to this? Any help is appreciated
Hey there.
I'm experiencing a critical issue with Xcode Cloud builds for my macOS application (bundle ID: com.mymind.mymind-mac) where builds fail in Xcode Cloud with 7-8 errors, yet all logs indicate successful completion. Additionally, when manually uploading builds, they become stuck in "Processing" status indefinitely on App Store Connect.
Issue Details:
Problem:
Xcode Cloud reports 7-8 build errors but logs show no fatal errors
Secondary Issue: Builds uploaded to App Store Connect remain in "Processing" status indefinitely
Platform:
macOS application with Safari Web Extension
Xcode Version: 26.1.1 (26B100) - Xcode 26.1
Build Environment: Xcode Cloud
What Works:
Package dependency resolution completes successfully
Archive creation succeeds (** ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED **)
Export succeeds (** EXPORT SUCCEEDED **)
Provisioning profiles are created correctly
Code signing completes without errors
Manual upload to App Store Connect completes
What Fails:
Xcode Cloud: Build process fails with 7-8 errors, but no corresponding errors in logs
App Store Connect: Builds remain stuck in "Processing" status and never become available for TestFlight or submission
Logs Examined: All logs indicate successful completion with no fatal errors:
xcodebuild-archive.log - Shows ** ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED **
xcodebuild-export-archive.log - Shows ** EXPORT SUCCEEDED **
resolve_package_dependencies.log - All packages resolved successfully
IDEDistribution_standard.log - All distribution steps complete
IDEDistributionPipeline.log - Packaging succeeds, code signing succeeds
IDEDistributionProvisioning.log - Provisioning profiles created successfully
IDEDistribution_critical.log - Only shows deprecated command warning
Only Warning Found:
App Store Connect request for store configuration failed for account Session Proxy Provider
Unable to authenticate with App Store Connect
(Error Domain=DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation.DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError Code=1)
Failed to find an account with App Store Connect access for team XXXXXXX
This warning appears non-fatal as the export completes successfully afterward.
Xcode Cloud Behavior:
Xcode Cloud dashboard shows 7-8 errors
No error details are visible in the Xcode Cloud UI
All log files downloaded from Xcode Cloud show successful completion
Build artifacts are created successfully
App Store Connect Behavior:
Builds upload successfully (confirmed via Xcode)
Build appears in App Store Connect with correct version/build number
Status shows "Processing" with spinning indicator
Build never completes processing (tested for 24+ hours)
No email notifications about processing failures
App Configuration:
macOS application (minimum version: macOS 12.0)
Includes Safari Web Extension (SafariWebExtension.appex)
Includes Lottie framework
Uses automatic signing with managed provisioning profiles
Also tried with manual signing
Both Development and Distribution certificates valid until November 2026
Questions:
Why does Xcode Cloud report 7-8 errors when all logs show successful completion? Where can I find the actual error details?
Why do builds remain stuck in "Processing" on App Store Connect? Is there a backend validation failing that isn't being reported?
Are there additional diagnostic logs that would show the actual errors Xcode Cloud is detecting?
Is this related to the App Store Connect authentication warning? The logs suggest Xcode Cloud can't authenticate with App Store Connect properly, despite having valid credentials.
Could this be related to Xcode 26.1.1 (26.1) compatibility with Xcode Cloud or App Store Connect processing?
Steps Taken:
Verified all certificates and provisioning profiles are valid
Tested local builds and manual uploads (upload succeeds)
Reviewed all available log files
Waited 24+ hours for App Store Connect processing
Tested both development and distribution exports (both succeed)
This issue is completely blocking our automated CI/CD pipeline and preventing us from releasing updates to the App Store. We cannot use Xcode Cloud for its intended purpose, and even manual workarounds fail at the App Store Connect processing stage.
Any hints or ideas would be welcome.

I'm using Xcode Cloud to build for internal TestFlight testing.
But it stuck in Archive. No warning or error. Unable to complete the workflow.
What could be causing this? I have absolutely no idea what to do now.
Hello,
We are experiencing a persistent issue where macOS builds in Xcode Cloud consistently hang at the Archive stage.
The build itself completes successfully, but no artifacts appear, and it seems the build gets stuck during artifact upload. These builds remain in this state for several days (currently 3 days and counting) not failing, but never finishing.
We opened a support ticket (102756662562), but we have not received any response yet.
We rely on Xcode Cloud for our entire CI/CD pipeline, and at the moment our workflow is completely blocked because of this issue.
Has anyone encountered something similar or found a workaround?
Thank you.

We want to replace our CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps with Xcode Cloud and are currently facing a critical hurdle. For some time now, we’ve observed that the PoC pipelines in Xcode Cloud are having major issues cloning our repositories stored on our Bitbucket Server. More and more pipeline runs are timing out because Xcode Cloud cannot receive the data. Today I spoke with our network team to check whether we might have an issue on our side affecting access to the repository, but we couldn’t find any problems. Cloning the repository to an external machine only takes 30 seconds, so the host’s bandwidth doesn’t seem to be the problem.
However, our network specialists did discover one message:
Significance:
Request abnormal event: high total time
Connection abnormal event: client has a slow receive rate
If this is the bottleneck in the system, we may ultimately have to stay with Azure DevOps and Fastlane in order to continue providing our product teams with reliable builds.
I look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance.

Hi all...
The app I'm building is not really a beginner level test app, it's intended to be published so I want everything to be done properly while I'm both learning and building the app. I'm new to swift ecosystem but well experienced with python and JS ecosystems.
These two models are causing my app to crash
@Model
final class CustomerModel {
var id: String = UUID().uuidString
var name: String = ""
var email: String = ""
var phone: String = ""
var address: String = ""
var city: String = ""
var postalCode: String = ""
var country: String = ""
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify)
var orders: [OrderModel]?
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify)
var invoices: [InvoiceModel]?
init() {}
}
@Model
final class OrderModel {
var id: String = UUID().uuidString
var total: Double = 0
var status: String = "processing"
var tracking_id: String = ""
var order_date: Date = Date.now
var updated: Date = Date.now
var delivery_date: Date?
var active: Bool = true
var createdAt: Date = Date.now
var items: [OrderItem]?
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify)
var invoice: InvoiceModel?
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify)
var customer: CustomerModel?
init() {}
}
both referenced in this model:
@Model
final class InvoiceModel{
var id: String = UUID().uuidString
var status: String = "Pending"
var comment: String = ""
var dueDate: Date = Date.now
var createdAt: Date = Date.now
var updated: Date = Date.now
var amount: Double = 0.0
var paymentTerms: String = "Once"
var paymentMethod: String = ""
var paymentDates: [Date] = []
var numOfPayments: Int = 1
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \OrderModel.invoice)
var order: OrderModel?
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify)
var customer: CustomerModel?
init() {}
}
This is my modelContainer in my index structure:
@main
struct Aje: App {
var appContainer: ModelContainer = {
let schema = Schema([UserModel.self, TaskModel.self, SubtaskModel.self, InventoryModel.self, SupplierModel.self])
let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false, allowsSave: true, groupContainer: .automatic, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic)
do{
return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [config])
}catch{
fatalError("An error has occured: \(error)")
}
}()
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
.modelContainer(appContainer)
}
}
This works fine but the below after adding the problematic models crashes the app unless CloudKit is disabled
@main
struct Aje: App {
var appContainer: ModelContainer = {
let schema = Schema([UserModel.self, TaskModel.self, SubtaskModel.self, InventoryModel.self, SupplierModel.self, InvoiceModel.self, OrderModel.self, CustomerModel.self])
let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false, allowsSave: true, groupContainer: .automatic, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic)
do{
return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [config])
}catch{
fatalError("An error has occured: \(error)")
}
}()
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
.modelContainer(appContainer)
}
}

When running an Xcode Cloud workflow pinned to Xcode 26.1, macOS 26.1 and using a Test Destination for iPhone 15 Pro and iOS 26.1, the following error appears in the xcodebuild-build-for-testing.log:
2025-11-13T19:08:31.855137440Z xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
2025-11-13T19:08:31.855318998Z { platform:iOS Simulator, id:704F84C8-025F-4F70-B2D9-FF19B7DC098F }
2025-11-13T19:08:31.855362640Z
2025-11-13T19:08:31.855370957Z Ineligible destinations for the "Inbound" scheme:
2025-11-13T19:08:31.855381964Z { platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device, error:iOS 26.1 is not installed. Please download and install the platform from Xcode > Settings > Components. }
This can be fixed if ci_pre_xcodebuild.sh is updated with the following:
# Get Xcode major version
# `xcodebuild -version` returns something like:
# Xcode 26.0.1
# Build version 17A400
XCODE_VERSION=$(xcodebuild -version | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d. -f1)
if [ "$XCODE_VERSION" -ge 26 ]; then
if xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "iOS platform is installed"
else
echo "iOS platform is not installed. Failing the build."
exit 1
fi
fi
Changing the workflow to use "Latest Release" of Xcode (26.1), macOS (26.1) and the Latest Test Destination iOS (26.1) version provided also does not work.

Hi there,
We’re encountering this error in all of our builds when using the latest Xcode and macOS:
The Metal Toolchain was not installed and could not compile the Metal source files. Download the Metal Toolchain from Xcode > Settings > Components and try again.
In short, all builds are failing. I’ve tried fixing this by installing Metal and applying other solutions, but none of them worked reliably.
Is there a way to ensure that the Metal Toolchain is installed on the CI machine?
Hi everyone,
Starting today, my Xcode Cloud CI workflow can no longer successfully build iOS/macOS/visionOS targets. The Archive step does not report any errors, but the xcodebuild command hangs indefinitely and eventually fails with the following message:
The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes.
My iOS and macOS targets can still be built, but the build time has increased by 2-3x compared to before. That's interesting. After I removed the visionOS target, the iOS target also failed to build.
Additionally, since today, I’ve noticed a significant increase in network-related errors in Xcode Cloud. There have been multiple failures to download dependencies from Homebrew or GitHub.
I have confirmed that CI versions which previously built successfully are now failing, while running the same build commands locally works fine. Based on these observations, I suspect there may be an issue with the Xcode Cloud environment itself.
Has anyone else encountered similar problems? Any suggestions or updates would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
After opting out of Xcode Cloud, I tried to set it up again for my product.
However, I’m getting the following message when attempting to reconnect to my source control provider:
"Connecting Xcode Cloud with your source control provider was incomplete.
Products cannot be configured to use Xcode Cloud while your team’s opt-out request is being processed."
It’s been 7 days since I opted out, and I still haven’t been able to re-enable Xcode Cloud.
I’ve tried reconnecting both GitHub and Bitbucket, but the same message appears in both cases.
I’d like to know:
How long does the opt-out (deregistration) process usually take to complete?
Is there any way to check the current status or expedite the reactivation process?

Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Hi, our builds with a Test action in Xcode Cloud are failing because of an internal Xcode Cloud crash.
We see the "red cloud with an X" icon, that indicates that it's an Xcode Cloud issue, and the message says "The Test - iOS action could not complete due to an error. The error may not occur on rebuild." but this has been happening for a while now, and for repeated builds.
In the artifacts there is a crash log apparently related to the "ibtoold" process, has anybody had this issue before?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
After disabling Xcode Cloud for my team, I tried to enable it again for my product.
However, I keep seeing this message when reconnecting to my source control:
"Connecting Xcode Cloud with your source control provider was incomplete.
Products cannot be configured to use Xcode Cloud while your team’s opt-out request is being processed."
It’s been about a week since I disabled it, but I still can’t re-enable Xcode Cloud.
I’ve tried reconnecting through GitHub and Bitbucket, and both show the same message.
Could anyone share:
How long does this “processing” phase usually take?
Is there a way to check or request reactivation manually?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or similar experiences!

Hi
We have a project with one app, where we have multiple schemes to create either a staging or release version of the app.
We change the bundle identifier of the app so it's a separate app in app store connect. One staging app and one release app.
We are trying to integrate Xcode cloud workflows, however, there's only one app visible in the Xcode cloud tab and when we create a workflow it gets automatically assigned to the staging app in app store connect.
We cannot create the workflow under the release app in app store connect, as the manage workflows button is not visible until you've created the first workflow for an app in xcode.
How can we create a workflow and force it to be associated with the release app in app store connect?

My project build failed in Xcode Cloud(works well in my local Mac), and the error shows: Preparing build for App Store Connect failed
The error message is not clear enough to help us find the solution to fix it. Can anyone help with it?
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!
We have a repository that contains two components:
The SDK codebase
A sample app that uses the SDK for testing purposes
We’ve set up an Xcode Cloud pipeline for the sample app. In this setup, the sample app references the SDK from a local path. Within the ci_post_clone script, we build the SDK project for both the simulator and device, create an .xcframework, and then build the sample app.
Everything works fine — the sample app builds successfully, and the resulting archive is uploaded to Xcode Cloud as an artifact.
However, I also want to share the generated .xcframework with customers by including it as an artifact in the pipeline. The issue is that the .xcframework doesn’t appear in the App Store Connect build artifacts.
I’ve tried the following without success:
Placing the .xcframework inside a folder named artifacts at both the repository root and the project root
Copying the .xcframework to the $CI_ARCHIVE_PATH directory
There isn’t much documentation available on custom artifact creation in Xcode Cloud. Can someone point me to proper documentation or confirm if this is supported? I assume it should be possible, as this is a common workflow for SDK pipelines.
