Cloud signing: Validation failed (409) Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s)
I'm attempting to use Cloud Signing to export the Release version of 3 different apps for App Store, as described in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10204/ The process completes successfully, and appears to be signed correctly, with a newly-created certificate in the developer portal of type "Distribution Managed". When I upload to App Store Connect however, I see the following error for several third-party Swift packages, distributed as frameworks: Validation failed (409) Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “MyApp.app/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/MyFramework” 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. If I have a manually created Distribution certificate installed in the keychain at the point of export, the same archive is signed with that certificate, and is accepted by App Store Connect without issue. The xcodebuild command I am using (roughly): xcodebuild -exportArchive \ -archivePath "$ARCHIVE_PATH" \ -exportPath "$EXPORT_PATH" \ -exportOptionsPlist "$EXPORT_OPTIONS" \ -authenticationKeyPath "$API_KEY" \ -authenticationKeyID "$API_KEY_ID" \ -authenticationKeyIssuerID "$API_KEY_ISSUER" \ -allowProvisioningUpdates The plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>method</key> <string>app-store-connect</string> <key>teamID</key> <string>$TEAM</string> <key>uploadSymbols</key> <true/> <key>signingStyle</key> <string>automatic</string> </dict> </plist> Is what I’m trying to do supported? Is this a bug?

Xcode Cloud: All export archive steps fail with exit code 70 (Remote Mac + managed signing)
I'm experiencing a persistent issue with Xcode Cloud where my iOS app (Spellboard) builds and archives successfully, but all three export steps fail with exit code 70: Export archive for ad-hoc distribution — exit code 70 Export archive for development distribution — exit code 70 Export archive for app-store distribution — exit code 70 Environment: Xcode Cloud Build 45, branch: main Project: Spellboard.xcodeproj Team: EinsteinAI Target: Any iOS Device (arm64) Automatic code signing (managed by Xcode Cloud) Building on a Remote Mac (additional code signing constraints) Error details from logs: The xcodebuild -exportArchive command fails during the signing phase. For example, the development distribution step shows: xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath /Volumes/workspace/tmp/ec4c2b30-ebd1-435f-8d8f-621326235df1.xcarchive -exportPath /Volumes/workspace/developmentexport -exportOptionsPlist /Volumes/workspace/ci/development-exportoptions.plist -DVTProvisioningIsManaged=YES -IDEDistributionLogDirectory=/Volumes/workspace/tmp/development-export-archive-logs -DVTSkipCertificateValidityCheck=YES -DVTServicesLogLevel=3 Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70 The same pattern repeats for ad-hoc and app-store distribution exports. What I've verified: The build itself compiles successfully (all modules compile, command executed successfully) No code changes were made that would affect signing The workflow is configured with automatic signing managed by Xcode Cloud Post-action is set to TestFlight External Testing Additional constraint — Remote Mac: I'm building on a Remote Mac, which adds complexity to code signing and keychain access. The Remote Mac environment has known limitations with certificate and provisioning profile management compared to a local Mac. This may be a contributing factor to the export failures. This appears to be an issue with how Xcode Cloud is handling the Apple Distribution and Apple Development signing certificates during the export phase, not a build compilation issue. Has anyone encountered this recently, or is there a known issue with Xcode Cloud's managed signing on Remote Mac environments? Any guidance on resolving exit code 70 during the export step would be greatly appreciated.

Xcode Cloud build gets stuck after completion?
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.

Xcode Cloud can't connect to Self-Hosted Gitlab Instance using the Change URL function
Hi, I'm trying to use the change url functionality to switch my Xcode Cloud setup from Gitlab.com to my self hosted Gitlab instance. The setup process completes successfully, however, Xcode Cloud does not create any web hooks in my repo and also is not able to fetch any branch/tag information from the Gitlab instance. There is also no error displayed on Xcode Cloud UI. I even tried to debug by looking at requests on my server to see if there are any clues, to no avail. The only clue seems to be that in my repositories page, I see the instance listed but the row is highlighted red (which I assume means there's an issue with the connection). The last accessed date is also empty. The call to the /repos-v3 endpoint from App Store Connect seems to indicate there's an authentication issue: { "primary_repos" : [ { "repo" : { "id" : "xxxxxxxxxxx", "http_clone_url" : "xxxxxxxxxxx", "owner_name" : "xxxxxxxxxxx", "repo_name" : "xxxxxxxxxxx-ios", "repo_id" : "7", "provider" : "gitlab-hosted", "ssh_clone_url" : "ssh://xxxxxxxxxxx", "scp_clone_url" : "git@xxxxxxxxxxx", "default_branch" : "master" }, "authorization_state" : "unauthorized" } ], "additional_repos" : [ ], "unauthorized_repos" : [ ], "revoked_repos" : [ ] } On my end, when I try to add the repository to Xcode Cloud, I see a few requests to my GitLab instance, all of which succeed with 200: {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:26.217Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.05674,"db_duration_s":0.00567,"view_duration_s":0.05107,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/user",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:26.797Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.16682,"db_duration_s":0.02024,"view_duration_s":0.14658,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/xxxxxx%2Fxxxxxx-ios",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:28.298Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.06617,"db_duration_s":0.00835,"view_duration_s":0.05782,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/user",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:28.867Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.21071,"db_duration_s":0.03075,"view_duration_s":0.17996,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/xxxxxx%2Fxxxxxx-ios",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:30.621Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.15613,"db_duration_s":0.01842,"view_duration_s":0.13771,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/7",.... {"time":"2025-03-11T21:10:31.239Z","severity":"INFO","duration_s":0.1672,"db_duration_s":0.01828,"view_duration_s":0.14892,"status":200,"method":"GET","path":"/api/v4/projects/7",..... At this point I'm sure this is some sort of a bug with Xcode Cloud since the requests do succeed but Xcode Cloud is unable to process the responses and identify the correct branches and tags, as well as set the web hook for the repo.

AppConnect on Xcode Cloud workflow creation that repo can't be found or does not have admin rights, but neither are true
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. Your current permission level is read.: ModelErrorResponseError(error: XcodeCloudAPI.Components.Schemas.ErrorResponse(message: \"You must have Admin or Write access to your repository.

Best practices for post-build codesigning
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

Turn off Xcode Cloud
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?

Lack of “Always Run” / Post-Failure Script Hook in Xcode Cloud Breaks CI/CD Integration
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.

Xcode Cloud fails every build
Since yesterday, Xcode cloud no longer seems to be successful in building our workflows. We're relying on Xcode Cloud for our CI, and the downtime is hindering us greatly. I've seen there is an issue on https://developer.apple.com/system-status/. Any indication of progress on this issue would be appreciated.

Xcode Cloud workflows not transferring when transferring app ownership
We are transferring ownership of an app from one org to another. Most things seem to be transferring as expected thus far according to this page, with the exception of our Xcode Cloud configuration and workflows. I understand that they are connected to source code (Github in this case), so those would probably need to be reconnected, but is there any way to get some of the configuration/workflows transferred?

XCode Cloud Infrastructure Location
I am trying to find answers to the following questions about the XCode Cloud infrastructure for compliance purposes, but could not find it in the documentation. Where is the Xcode Cloud infrastructure hosted? Is there any way to specify that your builds happen in the US only? Does Xcode Cloud infra have any SLA on uptime? Does XCode Cloud meet any kind security compliance standards?
