Xcode Cloud Release Notes

June 5, 2023

What’s new

  • Xcode 15 beta (15A5160n) and macOS Sonoma 14 Beta (23A5257q) are now available on Xcode Cloud.

  • Xcode Cloud operations have been moved into a new combined “Integrate” menu replacing the “Source Control” menu.

  • Xcode now supports a new Notarize Post-Action in Xcode Cloud workflows for macOS products. (Feedback IDs: 10162550, 9157684, 9961116).

  • Xcode Cloud now supports setting TestFlight “What to test” notes during a build. (Feedback IDs: 10296023, 9832283, 11894872, 10017429, 9690047, 9788440, 9384790, 11864946, 11979327, 12192998, 9224722, 10123585, 9224697)
    How to include TestFlight “What to test“ notes

  • Xcode Cloud test actions running on Xcode 15 or newer now use the new *.xctestproducts test bundle format. This is a new test product format that makes it easier to transport test bundles between systems. CI scripts can use the CI_TEST_PRODUCTS_PATH environment variable to determine which test product format is being generated/used for a test action. If the test action is using the new format, the path ends with .xctestproducts.
Known issues

  • Connecting Slack may not complete successfully when using Xcode’s UI to connect.

    Workaround: Connect Slack from Xcode Cloud’s web UI.

  • Xcode Cloud fails to install or launch the macOS test runner. (Feedback ID: 11302291)

    Workaround: Remove the Hardened Runtime from the Debug Configuration of your target settings, located in the Signing & Capabilities tab. Once you commit and push this change to your repository, the next build should run the tests.

  • Onboarding a product will fail if a developer team has no existing apps in App Store Connect.

    Workaround: Create an app record in App Store Connect first, then onboard your product in Xcode.

  • Some bundle IDs aren’t automatically registered when onboarding to Xcode Cloud.

    Workaround: In Xcode, Archive and Export your app for the App Store or manually register your bundle IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
