I'm using Xcode cloud to create testflight builds, and I noticed that a few weeks ago these builds no longer contain any "What to Test" info.
We include a TestFlight/WhatToTest.de-DE.txt file in our repo, and that file seems to be picked up correctly, at least the logs say
Saving “What to test” notes
Found notes for de-DE
Any ideas of what I should be looking into or change?

Export archive step fails in Xcode Cloud when using Xcode 26.2 (17C48) RC.
The same project exports successfully when switching back to Xcode 26.1 in Xcode Cloud workflow settings.
The same project exports successfully when using Xcode 26.2 RC locally.
Projects without Apple Watch app do not encounter this issue (not so sure about this).
From Xcode Cloud UI:

Workaround
Switching Xcode Cloud workflow to use Xcode 26.1 works around the issue.
Using Xcode 26.2 RC locally works around the issue.
Hi,
Since Xcode 26.2 beta 1, till now (I thought RC or actual release will solve this issue) I have problems exporting archive to appstore via Xcode Cloud (locally everything works and using Xcode 26.2 I was able to submit app to AppStore).
Build is archived successfully but during export I get an error Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information.
In xcodebuild-export-archive.log I see multiple attempts & errors like this

When I use Xcode 26.1.1 to export the same commit, eveything works and workflow sends build to AppStoreConnect, any ideas what might cause this issue? Unfortunately I need to use Xcode 26.2 if I want to use tabViewBottomAccessory(isEnabled:content:) bcs even though this api is available since iOS 26.1, it's not available in Xcode 26.1

Xcode Cloud
Hi everyone,
Starting today, my Xcode Cloud CI workflow can no longer successfully build iOS/macOS/visionOS targets. The Archive step does not report any errors, but the xcodebuild command hangs indefinitely and eventually fails with the following message:
The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes.
My iOS and macOS targets can still be built, but the build time has increased by 2-3x compared to before. That's interesting. After I removed the visionOS target, the iOS target also failed to build.
Additionally, since today, I’ve noticed a significant increase in network-related errors in Xcode Cloud. There have been multiple failures to download dependencies from Homebrew or GitHub.
I have confirmed that CI versions which previously built successfully are now failing, while running the same build commands locally works fine. Based on these observations, I suspect there may be an issue with the Xcode Cloud environment itself.
Has anyone else encountered similar problems? Any suggestions or updates would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Since Dec 18th, my Xcode Cloud builds (for multiple apps) have been failing with this error:
Command line name "app-store" is deprecated. Use "app-store-connect" instead.
I haven't made any changes to my system, signing, etc, and two separate apps started failing at the same time. No matter what I change on my Workflows (environment, new workflow from scratch, etc), nothing seems to fix it, which leads me to believe this is a bug with Xcode Cloud itself.
I've logged FB21456291 already, but just wanted to post here to see if I'm missing something.
Hello guys, recently I integrated a third-party library into my code to handle blur effects (Glur). This library leverages Metal's compute capabilities and appears to automatically depend on the Metal toolchain during the build process. When using Xcode Cloud, the archive step consistently fails with a "CompileMetalFile Failed" error. However, when I manually archive the project in Xcode locally, everything works fine without any issues. I’ve confirmed that the macOS and Xcode versions specified in my Xcode Cloud workflow are correct. Reply if you know how to fix it or it will be fixed future, thanks.
I'm using Xcode 26.2(17C52) and macOS(15.7.1 (24G231))
I’m trying to integrate our app with the iXGuard obfuscation tool, which needs to run in the archive post-actions step in Xcode Cloud. The issue is: iXGuard takes a long time to complete and, during its execution, does not generate any console output or logs in the Archive Post-actions step.
Problem:
When Archive Post-actions runs for a long time without producing log output, Xcode Cloud triggers a timeout and the workflow stops before running the next CI step (e.g., ci_post_xcodebuild.sh). Even though the script continues running in the background, the workflow is aborted due to inactivity in the logs.
Workaround Tried:
As a workaround, I have ci_post_xcodebuild.sh print the logs generated by archive post-actions. However, this does not help in my case since the timeout occurs before ci_post_xcodebuild.sh even runs.
Error:
The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes.
Question:
Is there a recommended way to prevent Xcode Cloud from timing out during long-running steps that do not produce log output?
Are there best practices for keeping the workflow alive with periodic logs during Archive Post-actions?
Any support or workaround for integrating tools like iXGuard that require significant processing time after the archive step?
Thanks in advance for your help!
