"Missing required icon file" when submitting to TF from Xcode 26 beta 1
Trying to submit a build to TF from Xcode 26 via Xcode Cloud (both for iOS and macOS). The operation fails with this message: Missing app icon. Include a large app icon as a 1024 by 1024 pixel PNG for the 'Any Appearance' image well in the asset catalog of apps built for iOS or iPadOS. Without this icon, apps can't be submitted for review. For details, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-your-app-icon. If you’ve added an icon made with Icon Composer, visit https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/release-notes/ for details about known issues. I thought it's because Icon Composer icons may not be supported yet, but then that last sentence is confusing me. Does this mean that TF just won't support Xcode 26 uploads yet, or does it accept them and I need to provide legacy icons for my build?

Unsupported SDK or Xcode version on iOS 26 builds
Since first beta of iOS 26 I've created a workflow where I can deploy to TestFlight the builds compiled using the iOS 26 SDK, and it has worked fine until yesterday when I started receiving 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. I haven't changed anything in the workflow so I suspect it's a bug on Apple side? Or am I missing something? It is set to use "Latest Beta or Release" for both Xcode and macOS, archive and deploy to TestFlight Internal Testing. Thank you!

Xcode Cloud is not available in my Apple Developer Program account
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?

Xcode Cloud: The page you’re looking for can’t be found.
We started seeing an access issue today when attempting to go to the Xcode Cloud tab in App Store Connect. When you navigate to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/:teamId/apps/:appId/ci we're seeing the following message: The page you’re looking for can’t be found. The page you’re looking for does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it. I am the account holder so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Is there an ongoing outage or problem in Xcode Cloud? And, if so, where can I monitor this accurately?

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

Xcode Cloud 26b7 Metal Compilation Failure
I've been getting intermittent failures on Xcode code compiling my app on multiple platforms because it fails to compile a metal shader. 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. Sometimes if I re-run it, it works fine. Then I'll run it again, and it will fail. If you tell me to file a feedback, please tell me what information would be useful and actionable, because this is all I have.

Xcode Cloud error 401

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.

Failed to download iOS 16.1 simulator runtime
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, 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!

Unit Test Execution in Xcode Cloud Too Slow Since Xcode 16 Update
Hello Developers, I regularly use Xcode Cloud to run unit tests, but since the release of Xcode 16, the testing process has become significantly slower. I am seeking advice on how to improve the situation. [ Details ] With Xcode 15.4, unit tests took about 1 hour to complete. However, since upgrading to Xcode 16, the tests have not finished even after 2 hours. The blog post linked below also mentions significant overhead in running unit tests on Xcode Cloud, even with Xcode 15.4: https://dwango.github.io/articles/2024-07_nicoiphone_xcode_cloud/#%E3%83%86%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E5%AE%9F%E8%A1%8C%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%8C%E5%A2%97%E5%8A%A0%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%97%E3%81%BE%E3%81%86%E5%95%8F%E9%A1%8C According to the blog, while reviewing the xcodebuild-test-without-building.log, it was observed that the time from start to finish was about 4 minutes. However, the overall “Run xcodebuild test-without-building” process took 23 minutes, with around 20 minutes of apparent idle time. It seems that the idle time has increased even further with Xcode 16, resulting in more than twice the testing time. [ Question/Request ] Is there any way to reduce the overhead when running unit tests on Xcode Cloud, especially with the increased overhead in Xcode 16? Any advice or solutions for improving the performance would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,

Xcode Cloud - cannot see repository
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? :)

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.

Xcode Cloud disables code indexing (COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO) — How to enable for tools like Periphery?
I've noticed that when using the Test action in an Xcode Cloud workflow, the xcodebuild command includes COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO while performing build-for-testing. This disables the index store, which is required by tools like Periphery to analyze unused code. Without indexing, Periphery triggers a fresh build internally, resulting in a significant increase in CI build time. Is there any way to enable indexing (COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=YES) on Xcode Cloud? Or alternatively, is there a recommended workaround to generate and access the index store? Any help is appreciated.
