Inconsistent Xcode cloud performance
Hi! For the past few days I have been experiencing slower builds in my workflows, without a clear reason of the cause as sometimes they run with the old usual time. I tried contacting the Developer Support without success in finding out the reason of these issues, the case number was 102661768064. As an example, I have a workflow for Pull request checks that involves testing and analyzing. This usually ran for 11-15mins, but now it could take up to 30mins or more. Looking into the logs it just seems that the machine it's particularly slow, then in another build it goes with usual times again. As an example, below are the summaries of two builds of the same branch: Being in the free tier, these new long times are burning my free time quite faster and probably will need to look into running this checks in GitHub Actions if it doesn't improve. A hint of what might be wrong is also found in an error in the test workflow, which denotes a problem booting a simulator. Any help on this will be appreciated, thanks!

I'm unable to manage multiple bundle IDs on XCode 16.4 Cloud Workdlows
I have two apps in App Store Connect (same app but different bundle IDs), and I would like to manage workflows for both. However, when configuring workflows, although both apps appear on the list for configuration at first, selecting and configuring the first will be the only app available, since after that, there's no way to add the other app. It looks like a bug, but I couldn't find any additional reports of this case while browsing the web.

Xcode Cloud timeouts
Hey, We're crunching to get our products ready for the announcements next week but are being slowed down by Xcode Cloud. Builds are failing and are extremely slow. We're using the latest Xcode beta and latest macOS release so we can upload our builds continuously to TestFlight. We're seeing builds taking up to almost an hour, even though takes around 10-15 minutes when it doesn't fail. The errors we're seeing seem to be timeout, for example: Showing All Errors Only The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild build invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes. Here are links to some builds which have been restarted multiple times but keep failing for reasons out of our control. Please advice on how to get unblocked. https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/69a6de80-3540-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1/apps/1102236212/ci/groups/8da12ae3-b454-4810-abe8-829f1af56a54 https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/69a6de80-3540-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1/apps/1102236212/ci/groups/ee7b1fae-1363-4265-9d64-692434b7ebf2 https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/69a6de80-3540-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1/apps/1102236212/ci/groups/fd915140-db2c-4b3b-bff4-16939c22665a

Add Option to Skip Xcode Cloud Workflows for Draft Pull Requests
We would like to request an enhancement to Xcode Cloud workflows to support skipping builds when a GitHub Pull Request is in Draft state. Our team frequently collaborates on pull requests that go through multiple iterations during the code review cycle. Each small commit or push triggers an Xcode Cloud workflow run, even if the PR is still in draft and not ready for final review or CI validation. This leads to: Wasted compute resources and time on draft work that is not yet intended for integration. Increased noise in Xcode Cloud logs and dashboards. Longer feedback cycles for meaningful PRs, since draft workflows compete for available concurrency. A simple option in the workflow configuration (e.g., “Skip runs for draft pull requests”) would address this problem by: Reducing unnecessary workflow executions. Freeing up capacity for production-ready and review-ready builds. Improving overall developer productivity by aligning CI runs with the actual readiness of a PR. This feature would be especially valuable for teams with frequent collaboration and long-lived PRs. Thank you for considering this request—we believe it would significantly improve the efficiency of Xcode Cloud for real-world development workflows.

Xcode Cloud - Build fail missing icon
Hi, We successfully migrated to the new AppIcon from Icon Composer. Everything works great on simulator and on real devices. We also released a manually generated build that works great. However when we build the same project from Xcode Cloud we get the following error: None of the input catalogs contained a matching stickers icon set, app icon set, or icon stack named "AppIcon" The previous line seems to indicate that no icon is passed: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/actool /Volumes/workspace/repository/Mail/Assets.xcassets --compile /Volumes/workspace/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Infomaniak\ Mail/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Mail.build/Release-iphoneos/Infomaniak\ Mail.build/assetcatalog_output/thinned --output-format human-readable-text --notices --warnings --export-dependency-info /Volumes/workspace/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Infomaniak\ Mail/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Mail.build/Release-iphoneos/Infomaniak\ Mail.build/assetcatalog_dependencies_thinned --output-partial-info-plist /Volumes/workspace/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Infomaniak\ Mail/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Mail.build/Release-iphoneos/Infomaniak\ Mail.build/assetcatalog_generated_info.plist_thinned --app-icon AppIcon --accent-color AccentColor --compress-pngs --enable-on-demand-resources YES --development-region en --target-device iphone --target-device ipad --minimum-deployment-target 15.0 --platform iphoneos However when I archive locally, the icon seems correctly referenced: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/actool /Users/<my name>/Developer/ios/infomaniak/apps/ios-kMail/Mail/Resources/AppIcon.icon /Users/<my name>/Developer/ios/infomaniak/apps/ios-kMail/Mail/Resources/Assets.xcassets --compile /Users/<my name>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Mail-fbgflwyftafvlmezepjlymckizhg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Infomaniak\ Mail/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Mail.build/Release-iphoneos/Infomaniak\ Mail.build/assetcatalog_output/thinned --output-format human-readable-text --notices --warnings --export-dependency-info /Users/<my name>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Mail-fbgflwyftafvlmezepjlymckizhg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Infomaniak\ Mail/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Mail.build/Release-iphoneos/Infomaniak\ Mail.build/assetcatalog_dependencies_thinned --output-partial-info-plist /Users/<my name>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Mail-fbgflwyftafvlmezepjlymckizhg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Infomaniak\ Mail/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Mail.build/Release-iphoneos/Infomaniak\ Mail.build/assetcatalog_generated_info.plist_thinned --app-icon AppIcon --accent-color AccentColor --compress-pngs --enable-on-demand-resources YES --development-region en --target-device iphone --target-device ipad --minimum-deployment-target 15.0 --platform iphoneos Has anyone encountered a similar issue ?

Xcode Cloud issue (ibtoold crash?)
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

Unable to re-enable Xcode Cloud — “opt-out request is being processed” message
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? Team Type: Organization Region: Japan Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

iOS 26.1 is not installed in Xcode Cloud using Xcode 26.1 and iOS 26.1 testing scheme
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.

UI Tests with mock server
I'm using Xcode Cloud for release builds and unit tests, and it works fine. Recently, I added some XCUITests, but to run it the way I need I started to use this mock server. Basically, the idea is you define before each test what responses you want to get for specific requests. It works like a charm locally. But if I want to run it in Xcode Cloud, it looks like the server has failed to launch. The mock server is a separately launched binary file. I think this is because this permission I get when launch it locally. So, my question is how to allow this kind of permission in Xcode Cloud to make my UITests works correctly? You can find a detailed instruction how server is launched on a github page I provided.

Xcode Cloud uses beta version when configured for latest release
My builds failed today with this error: Unsupported SDK or Xcode version. Your app was built with an SDK or version of Xcode that isn’t supported. Although you can use beta versions of SDKs and Xcode to build and upload apps to App Store Connect, you need to use the latest Release Candidates (RC) for SDKs and Xcode to submit the app. For details on currently supported SDKs and versions of Xcode, visit: https://developer.apple.com/news/releases. The thing is, I have Xcode Cloud configured to use the latest release. There is a separate configuration for "Latest beta or release", so why is it using the Xcode 16.2 Beta 3 build? This is clearly a beta. If you're going to give me an option to use the latest release, then it should do what it says.

Xcode Cloud randomly fails to resolve package dependencies
Hi folks, I've been having this issue for the last few months, where Xcode Cloud fails to resolve Swift package dependencies while compiling my builds, seemingly at random. Some of my Xcode Cloud builds will fail after several minutes, with an error log looking like that : xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies: failed downloading 'https://dl.google.com/firebase/ios/bin/grpc/1.62.2/rc0/grpcpp.zip' which is required by binary target 'grpcpp': downloadError("The request timed out.") Whenever this happens, I have to manually restart an Xcode Cloud build process (or several builds, since the error can happen multiple times in a row), to the point it's becoming increasingly painful to rely on Xcode Cloud for my workflow. The failing packages are mostly random (meaning, it's not always the same one that Xcode fails to resolve), but they are always publicly accessible, even though I have an environment variable set in my Xcode workflows to retrieve a single Github private dependency (maybe this has some kind of importance). Could anyone tell me if this is an isolated issue, or if I could do anything on my end to resolve this ? Thank you !

Xcode Cloud won't load from Xcode or App Store Connect
I am setting up a new app and am having problems with Xcode Cloud. From Xcode if I click on the "Cloud" button under the Report Navigator I get a spinner for a long time then get the message "Could not load Xcode Cloud data". I also visited the "Xcode Cloud" tab under my app in App Store Connect and I get a spinner and nothing loads. This is a recent account and I'm setting up Xcode Cloud for the first time. Below is what I've tried and I'm out of ideas on how to get this working. In Xcode, I signed out and back in as the Account Holder Closed Xcode and reopened This occurred yesterday and today and have not seen a problem under the Apple System Status page On the latest Xcode 16.2 Checked the Signing & Capabilities tab in Xcode and my team a bundle Id is correct and it's happy with signing. At this time on my machine I am using the distribution profile.

Xcode Cloud Signing Issue
There seems to be a problem to a specific Apple Developer Account regarding Xcode Cloud Distribution (Signing). The Xcode Cloud Error Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “XcodeCloudTest.app/XcodeCloudTest” is not properly signed. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing. Investigation Apple Developer Forums This issue seems to be known: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/746210 Debugging by ourselves We setup an example Xcode project from a default iOS Xcode app template to rule out any project issues. This example project failed with the same error as stated above. In the next step we tried the same example project with a different Apple Developer Account and it successfully distributed the example App through Xcode Cloud. Conclusion It seems like there is no setup issue on developer-side, because our example project works out-of-the-box on a different Apple Developer Account. Our only hope is that Apple will have a look on our Developer Account. Maybe there is some internal setting.

Cannot download
Since today, all our team members cannot download artifacts from Xcode Cloud builds. We get a JSON response that contains: {"message":"You are not authorized to access this team’s resources."} System Status doesn't show any issues at the time. Is there an action we can follow to restore proper access? Thank you in advance.
