We build TestFlight/App Store builds of our app through Xcode Cloud. Our app uses Metal shaders so we install the Metal toolchain through a ci_pre_xcodebuild.sh script which simply runs: xcodebuild -downloadComponent metalToolchain in our Xcode Cloud builds. This has been working well for us for the last 6 months or so, but since yesterday (March 5) we have been seeing consistent failures when running this script in our Xcode Cloud builds: Beginning asset download... 2026-03-06 04:14:34.727 xcodebuild[13315:58523] Writing error result bundle to /var/folders/6h/_32gb9js77g6c54h3q7g6q1h0000gn/T/ResultBundle_2026-06-03_04-14-0034.xcresult xcodebuild: error: Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain), serverParameters ({ RequestedBuild = 17C7003j; }) Prior to Mar 5 it looks like the toolchain image which was being downloaded/installed was 17C519 but this has now changed to 17C7003j. We haven't changed anything with our Xcode Cloud workflow setup, and the same macOS/Xcode images are being used for the workflow runs (macOS Tahoe 26.2 (25C56) and Xcode 26.3 (17C529) respectively) now as when our builds were succeeding a few days ago. What's the best way to resolve this issue? Looks like we can't even pass an image identifier to xcodebuild -downloadComponent so we're a bit stuck here.

I've yet to encounter these errors when running UI tests locally, but I'd estimate that 80-90% of my test runs on Xcode Cloud fail due to it. I'm just testing with iPhone simulators, I've set it to retry on failure, but no luck. Is there a setting or something I can tweak in my test code to improve the situation? I am on the latest xcode/iOS dev betas - but it was doing this before I switched to them from.

We're investigating using xcode cloud to do our CI builds. We have our own on-prem self-managed GitLab behind a private firewall. Some questions on this: I see some IP's for Apple here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-up-your-project-to-use-xcode-cloud#Use-a-remote-source-control-repository Do these IP's ever change? Are there specific ports Apple uses? Would be nice to limit to only what's needed. Do we have to open in-bound access or can we instead have our builds reach out with an outbound only setup?

Recently, I have trouble with my Xcode Cloud builds, where they seemingly complete, but the very final step does not happen. I am building from the same codebase for both macOS and iOS (I have two “Archive” steps in my workflow, one for iOS and one for macOS). The iOS one usually completes fast without problems. The macOS log ending looks like this, and remains stuck forever, with the macOS build in the “spinning progress” state and never completing. Is there something I can do on my end to make this work better? I would not want to go back to manual builds, Xcode Cloud is convenient and was working well for a while, but this is really annoying lately.

Am I doing something wrong? FB18269317

Hello, When archiving a binary with Xcode, I've always kept my archives in the Organizer so I can symbolicate crash logs using the dSYM files. I've been thinking about moving to Xcode Cloud for archiving. Will crash logs still be symbolicated and readable in the Xcode Organizer? Thank you, Axel

I'm setting up a first workflow in Xcode Cloud and when I go through the flow and reach the 'Grant Access to your source code' pane, my projects repo is listed as primary and has a green checkmark next to it, but one of my SPM dependencies does not. When I press the 'Grant Access' it launches AppStoreConnect which complains the repo can't be found or I don't have the correct admin permissions. I'm using BitBucket Cloud and both repos are mine and I am the admin for both. Xcode itself will build the dependency locally correctly. I did see that the dependent SPM package needs a Package.resolved checked in, which I've now done, but I can still no longer get past the Grant Access step. When I try to add myself as admin to the dependent repo, BitBucket says I can't be added because I'm already an admin. This is the same for the projects primary repo as well. But Xcode still thinks I only have read access. How do I get passed this? Xcode isn't even telling me what repo is troublesome: { "category" : "xcode-cloud-data", "column" : "23", "subsystem" : "com.apple.dt.XcodeCloudKit", "details" : "Error alert: You must have Admin or Write access to your repository.

My post-build script takes the "developeridexport" archive export, zips it up and uses notarytool to notarize it. I then add the .zip to a .dmg disk image. The next step is to codesign the disk image before notarizing that too. The issue is my Developer ID Application certificate is not accessible to the build host. (When I was doing this in Microsoft AppCenter (now defunct), it had a copy of my Developer ID Application certificate.) What steps do I need to take to get the disk image signed for notarization? Thanks! Lance

Some of my apps are configured to use Xcode Cloud. Some time ago, this service was blocked for developers from Russia. I want to transfer one of my apps to another account. But there is the following requirement in the checklist: "You must remove all Xcode Cloud related data from the app you want transferred." I can't do it myself because I see an error in App Store Connect: "The page you’re looking for can’t be found.". It is also not available through Xcode. I would like to delete all Xcode Cloud settings for all my apps. Can you help me with this?

We are integrating Xcode Cloud into a larger CI/CD pipeline and ran into a serious limitation that makes proper build status reporting nearly impossible. Currently, Xcode Cloud provides only the following custom script phases: • ci_post_clone.sh • ci_pre_xcodebuild.sh • ci_post_xcodebuild.sh However, if a build fails during the actual Xcode build phase (for example, due to a compilation error, unit test failure, or signing issue), the ci_post_xcodebuild.sh script does not run. This means there is no guaranteed way to execute cleanup steps or send external notifications (e.g., updating build status in Bitbucket, Slack, or any external CI system). In any robust CI/CD setup, it’s critical to have a “finally” or “always run” hook that executes regardless of build success or failure — similar to post blocks in Jenkins, finally steps in GitHub Actions, or after_script in GitLab CI. Without such a mechanism, we cannot reliably integrate Xcode Cloud with the rest of our automation and monitoring ecosystem. This effectively breaks standard CI/CD practices, since external systems will never know if a build failed unless they constantly poll the Xcode Cloud API. Feature request: Please add a new hook (e.g., ci_finally.sh or ci_post_build.sh) that always executes after the build, whether it succeeded, failed, or was canceled. This would make Xcode Cloud much more suitable for professional CI/CD environments and allow proper integration with third-party systems.

Just learnt today that personal development teams do not support the Push Notifications and iCloud capabilities, is there any workaround besides pay another 99 for an enterprise development account? Thanks in advance.

Dear Xcode cloud support. on 30.1.2026 Xcode cloud was not able to connect to our git server. so I deleted the repository from app store connect Xcode cloud settings and deleted the Xcode cloud in app store connect for all our apps. I started to create Xcode cloud workflow from Xcode and when I want to Grant Access - Register GitLab Application - to our git repository I get and error : "504 Client Timeout. If you are using a firewall, it must be configured to accept incoming connections." git is behind VPN but the IP address ranges 17.58.0.0/18, 17.58.192.0/18, and 57.103.0.0/22 are white labeled and before 30.1.2026 it was working. I contacted the gitlab administrators and they acknowledged that during "Register GitLab Application" they see no traffic (in gltlab and proxy server) from xcode cloud. I tried "Register GitLab Application" multiple times until now with same error. It is not app specific because this error happens for all our apps. Thanks a lot yours sincerely, Zoltan Bognar More Info: Source Control Provider: git-lab self-managed, tested with web browser: safari, chrome I can provide additional info like Primary repository, App store team ID, Entity Name, Link to repository, Application ID to grant access, and bundle id. if needed.

Dear all, For an important client, we are currently experiencing issues related to performance IOS build using Xcode Cloud. More in detail, their build process is taking approximately 30 minutes to complete at the moment, whereas the same build executed locally on a Mac machine takes around 7 minutes. This significant difference in build times is causing concerns and slowing down the development work. We would appreciate your support in identifying possible causes and exploring different ways to improve the actual situation (ex if it is possible to increase the Cloud machine calculation power). Could you please advise us on how we might proceed to analyze and potentially optimize the build times on Xcode Cloud? What kind of processors are used? Any guidance, best practices, or diagnostic steps you can suggest would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your support.

Hi everyone, we're experiencing problems with our unit test builds on Xcode cloud. Without having changed anything in our build configuration, we're getting failed builds (that also take a loooong time) withour any of the build / test steps showing any sign of failures. Maybe related: the "Save artifacts" step of the build appears to have taken almost an hour, but its individual sub-steps only took seconds. Is anyone else having those problems as well? -Gereon

Hello, We are building a web extension that is running on all browsers. For Safari, i have used the "XCode Cloud Safari Extension Packager" tool. We have no Mac or anything to work with. For the first upload, there was no problem, and the app is currently published on Safari. Recently, we did on update on this web extension. So i thought i'd reuse the "XCode Cloud Safari Extension Packager" to upload my new version of the web extension. But there is always the following error for each build : Invalid Pre-Release Train. The train version '1.0' is closed for new build submissions This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleShortVersionString [1.0] in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously approved version [1.0]. Please find more information about CFBundleShortVersionString at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleshortversionstring Of course, the web extension manifest.json version is set to something else than "1.0". And i have created a new app version from the "Distrubution" pane in AppStoreConnect. But nothing helped. So my questions are the following : How do i set the version of the Safari Web Extension from AppStoreConnect when uploading a new ZIP ? How do Safari Extension Packager determine the version of the app if it is not from the manifest.json version ? Is it a bug from Safari Extension Packager or is there something i am missing ?

We just changed the repository from Bitbucket > Github. While all connected successfully, none of the branches are appearing. I understand usually it takes time (cache etc) but its been a good few hours. Also tried to remove the integration and re-setup but to no avail.

Can anyone help me resolve this lookup issue? This has been breaking builds for months. We make no changes and after a couple hours it works. It seems like Apple resolvers are getting a failure and then negatively caching the failure.

I struggling in getting Xcode Cloud to work with a stand alone watch app. This app has the following three targets and each bundle identifier is set up in the Identifiers section of the developer portal. iphone container target called Unleashed abc.xyz.Unleashed watch target called Unleashed Watch App abc.xyz.Unleashed.watchkitapp watch target called Unleashed WidgetExtension abc.xyz.Unleashed.watchkitapp.Unleashed-Widget I have a App Store provisioning set up for abc.xyz.Unleashed.watchkitapp The app runs fine in the watch simulator, but fails with the following when I do an Xcode Cloud build Export archive for ad-hoc distribution Export archive for development distribution Export archive for app-store distribution When I expand each one of these errors it reports: Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70 I also tried archiving the project in Xcode then selected the Archive but it won't let me validate because that button is disabled. Very confused I have successfully used Xcode Cloud for a phone app but am having a problem with this watch app that has a widget

I've been running into issues with Xcode Cloud/my workflow when it's trying to archive the app. I've tested locally and both archiving and building the app for release works. I've tried a few things to clear it. pod deintegrate and pod install Checking off "archive" for the build scheme Creating a certificate for both development and distribution. I made sure automatic signing was enabled as well. I have a ci_scripts/ci_post_clone.sh script that successfully completes. Have tried setting the xcode version of the workflow to 16.2 which is what my local xcode version is. I've switched it back to the latest, 16.4. running pod update Updating flutter However, I consistently get the following 2 errors : `Showing All Messages Run command: 'xcodebuild archive -workspace /Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/Runner.xcworkspace -scheme Runner -destination generic/platform=iOS -archivePath /Volumes/workspace/build.xcarchive -derivedDataPath /Volumes/workspace/DerivedData -resultBundleVersion 3 -resultBundlePath /Volumes/workspace/resultbundle.xcresult -resultStreamPath /Volumes/workspace/tmp/resultBundleStreame3592434-5b88-48da-a3c4-f750abee4d08.json -IDEPostProgressNotifications=YES CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=- AD_HOC_CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=YES CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=JG794CQD68 COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO -hideShellScriptEnvironment' ` and Showing All Messages Unhandled exception: ProcessException: No such file or directory Command: /Users/local/flutter/bin/flutter assemble --no-version-check --output=/Volumes/workspace/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Runner/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/ -dTargetPlatform=ios -dTargetFile=lib/main.dart -dBuildMode=release -dConfiguration=Release -dIosArchs=arm64 -dSdkRoot=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS18.5.sdk -dSplitDebugInfo= -dTreeShakeIcons=true -dTrackWidgetCreation=false -dDartObfuscation=false -dAction=install -dFrontendServerStarterPath= --ExtraGenSnapshotOptions= --DartDefines=RkxVVFRFUl9WRVJTSU9OPTMuMzUuMQ==,RkxVVFRFUl9DSEFOTkVMPXN0YWJsZQ==,RkxVVFRFUl9HSVRfVVJMPWh0dHA6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2ZsdXR0ZXIvZmx1dHRlci5naXQ=,RkxVVFRFUl9GUkFNRVdPUktfUkVWSVNJT049MjBmODI3NDkzOQ==,RkxVVFRFUl9FTkdJTkVfUkVWSVNJT049MWU5YTgxMWJmOA==,RkxVVFRFUl9EQVJUX1ZFUlNJT049My45LjA= --ExtraFrontEndOptions= -dSrcRoot=/Volumes/workspace/repository/ios -dTargetDeviceOSVersion= -dCodesignIdentity=- release_ios_bundle_flutter_assets #0 _ProcessImpl._runAndWait (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:519:7) #1 _runNonInteractiveProcessSync (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:686:18) #2 Process.runSync (dart:io-patch/process_patch.dart:79:12) #3 Context.runSyncProcess (file:///Users/local/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.dart:154:20) #4 Context.runSync (file:///Users/local/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.dart:118:34) #5 Context.buildApp (file:///Users/local/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.dart:539:34) #6 Context.run (file:///Users/local/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.dart:51:9) #7 main (file:///Users/local/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.dart:17:5) #8 _delayEntrypointInvocation.<anonymous closure> (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:312:33) #9 _RawReceivePort._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:193:12) Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
