My app is approved for the Web Browser Public Key Credential Request managed capability and has it added to its App ID Configuration:
It has been added to my entitlements file:
I am able to build and run unit tests in Xcode locally using my managed profile.
When I push changes and Xcode Cloud tries to build and run the app, I get the following error:
Mirrai encountered an error (Failed to install or launch the test runner. (Underlying Error: Could not launch “MirraiTests”. Runningboard has returned error 5. Please check the system logs for the underlying cause of the error. (Underlying Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Launch failed. (Underlying Error: Launchd job spawn failed))))
Removing just the com.apple.developer.web-browser.public-key-credential entitlement, with no other changes, results in all tests passing on Xcode Cloud.
Some thoughts:
In project settings, the test target has a different bundle id (appending Tests to the app bundle id). Under "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles," the managed capability is added to the bundle id but it is an explicit bundle id and not a wildcard. Do I need to apply for the managed capability for the test bundle id as well? Or for a wildcard bundle id?

When building xcode project of an application with login item included/embedded (another target), locally it works without problems. But when building on xcode cloud, we are getting the error:
ITMS-90286: Invalid code signing entitlements - Your application bundle’s signature contains code signing entitlements that aren’t supported on macOS. Specifically, the “***.***.***” value for the com.apple.application-identifier key in “Path_to_login_Item” isn’t supported. This value should be a string that starts with your Team ID, followed by a dot (“.”), followed by the bundle ID.
If there are no capabilities added to the login item's target (only com.apple.security.inherit and App Sandbox), the project builds without errors. But our login item needs to access a database in app group container and sync its data with iCloud, so after adding iCloud and App Group entitlements, building on xcode cloud fails with the error written above. Locally it builds and runs without problems.
So, what should be done to fix this issue when building on xcode cloud?
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",

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.

I am experiencing an issue where Xcode Cloud is not available in my Apple Developer Program account on App Store Connect. Despite having an active developer membership, I cannot access or enable Xcode Cloud for my apps.
Could you please assist me in understanding why this feature is not available for my account and what steps I need to take to enable it?
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 :

We have had 2 Builds so far stuck archiving. Both indicate in their logs that Build Archive took a normal amount of time (9m and 19m) but the step Archive - iOS never finished. One of them ran for more than 6 days until we noticed and canceled it. The other one ran for 18 hours, and also had to be canceled manually.
They were in two different projects, with no significant changes. The first build ran on Xcode 16.4 (16F6) and macOS Sequoia 15.6 (24G84), which we had had no issues like this with until just now, and the second ran on Xcode 26 (17A324) and macOS Tahoe 26 (25A354). We tested our app on the newest Xcode version and had no issues.

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.
Recently I noticed that when I build and archive my app with Xcode Cloud, it fails due to code signing issue. But that's weird because I have all development and distribution certificates. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

My workflow has been running tests on iOS 15, 16 and 17 for a long time now, but suddenly it started to fail for iOS 15 and 16.
The error does not seem to be code related, since it is a Xcode Cloud failure saying: "Failed to download iOS 16.1 simulator runtime".
The exact same issue is showing for iOS 15. It works as expected on iOS 17.
I have also reported this in the Feedback Assistant: FB14855036
If someone knows a work-around for this issue, I'd be happy to hear about it!
Hello,
Im trying to add my project to Xcode Cloud. Not first time. Now I'm getting this error: "To create a Xcode Cloud workflow, first add a remote source code repository from BitBucket, GitHub, or GitLab."
Of course this project has origin (GitHub) and I'm using it with Xcode actively.
Xcode 16.0, iOS app target 17.6. Sonoma - latest.
What am I doing wrong? :)

Any Xcode Cloud workflow with 'Pull Request Changes' as one of its start conditions has suddenly stopped working altogether. The workflow is never started. This issue seems to have begun within the last 48 hours.
Removing the 'Pull Request Changes' start condition makes the workflows functional again.
The test I just ran to confirm this:
Created a new Xcode Cloud workflow
Selected Start Conditions: 'Pull Request Changes' from/into any branch, when any files are changed
Selected Test as the 'Actions'
Created a pull request on my github repository
The workflow was never started
Added 'Branch Changes' to the Start Conditions, specifying branch-a under 'Custom Branches'
Pushed to branch-a
The workflow was never started
Removed 'Pull Request Changes' from the Start Conditions
Pushed to branch-a
The workflow finally started
Curious if others are having this issue? And if so, is there a timeline for when this will be resolved? I have confirmed that our Github actions are configured properly, and believe this is indeed an issue with Xcode Cloud.
Xcode cloud download archive file . the browser show "You are not authorized to access this team’s resources." All of my team can not download that.
I tried downloading the files from the previous build archive, but couldn't download either
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.
I have set the deployment target to iOS17.0 on all targets.
Archiving and test works fine, but External testing fails?
Hi there, it seems like the "Latest Release" option for Xcode Cloud's environment settings has rev'd to 16.2 (16C5032) (since yesterday?) but is causing Mac Catalyst archives to fail with the error "This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of Xcode." iOS and tvOS builds are archiving as expected, but this is blocking my deployment.
I would have expected "Latest Release" to always result in a version that is accepted for deployment - am I doing something wrong?
My settings for my deployment workflow are below:
I have an app I am toying with and I am seeing the following error in github's Xcode automation from Apple. My other apps work fine fine in xcode cloud with the same project setup.

Xcode 16.2 Framework Signing Issues with Cloud Managed Developer ID in Automated Builds
Issue Description
After upgrading from Xcode 15.4 to 16.2, our macOS app's frameworks are failing notarization with the error "The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate" for embedded frameworks when building through fastlane. This worked correctly in Xcode 15.4. Importantly, manually archiving and notarizing through the Xcode GUI still works correctly - the issue only occurs during automated builds.
Build Configuration
We use fastlane to build and notarize our macOS app:
build_mac_app(
scheme: 'Runner',
export_method: "developer-id",
xcargs: '-allowProvisioningUpdates'
)
This generates the following xcodebuild commands:
Archive:
xcodebuild -workspace ./Runner.xcworkspace -scheme Runner -destination 'generic/platform=macOS' -archivePath /path/to/archive -allowProvisioningUpdates archive
Export with plist:
xcrun -exportArchive -exportOptionsPlist '/path/to/plist' -archivePath /path/to/archive -exportPath '/output/path' -allowProvisioningUpdates
Export options plist contents:
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;
&lt;plist version="1.0"&gt;
&lt;dict&gt;
&lt;key&gt;installerSigningCertificate&lt;/key&gt;
&lt;string&gt;Developer ID Installer: Company Inc (1234567891)&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;key&gt;method&lt;/key&gt;
&lt;string&gt;developer-id&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;key&gt;signingStyle&lt;/key&gt;
&lt;string&gt;automatic&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;/dict&gt;
&lt;/plist&gt;
Notarization:
ditto -c -k --rsrc --keepParent "My App.app" "My App.app.zip"
xcrun notarytool submit "My App.app.zip" --output-format json --wait --key /path/to/key --key-id ABCDEFGHIJ --issuer 12345678-abcd-1234-5678-fc2d96b1735a
Error Output
Notarization fails with the following errors:
{
"severity": "error",
"code": null,
"path": "My App.app.zip/My App.app/Contents/Frameworks/some_package.framework/Versions/A/some_package",
"message": "The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate.",
"docUrl": "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/resolving_common_notarization_issues#3087721",
"architecture": "arm64"
}
Key Details
Using Xcode Cloud managed Developer ID certificates (not local certificates)
✅ Building, archiving, and notarizing through Xcode GUI works correctly
Automatic signing is enabled
Expected Behavior
Frameworks should be automatically signed with the cloud managed Developer ID certificate during the export process, as they were in Xcode 15.4.
Has there been a change in how framework signing is handled with cloud managed certificates in Xcode 16.2's command line tools? Any guidance on how to ensure frameworks are properly signed during automated builds when using automatic signing with cloud managed Developer ID certificates would be appreciated.

I've recently added iCloud backup on my chat app. Conversations are backing up fine but some users are losing their chats and when I see the telemetry it show "BAD_REQUEST" error. I couldn't find any details or solution for it.
Does anyone has any idea what it could be? My development scheme is already fully deployed to production.
