Today’s WTF moment

Xcode Cloud does not seem to accept any macOS and Xcode versions 😵‍💫

@caseyliss Xcode Cloud doesn’t help with the generation but it does make distributing localized tester notes super easy (and it’s free).

Just add a TestFlight folder to your repo with the localized notes as .txt files. XCC will automatically include these when your workflow releases to TestFlight.

Including notes for testers with a beta release of your app | Apple Developer Documentation

Add text files to your Xcode project to provide notes to beta testers about what to test.

Apple Developer Documentation
Adopting #xcodecloud for AppScript appears to require that I create an App Store record for my test harness app. That's…bizarre. Is that what folks are doing?
While everyone is integrating #OpenClaw and letting is loose on their data, I was stuck today trying to figure out why #XcodeCloud was the only build tool hitting infinite redirects when trying to clone the repo.

Are #XcodeCloud builds failing with “Preparing build for App Store Connect failed” or is it just me?

#Cloudfare?

TLDR this is one of those “opaque error message that is neither correct nor helpful” challenges with #XcodeCloud. I eventually got past it, but it was some “you hit the fields in Xcode in the wrong magic order” error.
Thumbnail support on iOS was very straightforward to add, but now #XcodeCloud dies every time I’ve attempted to distribute this version. I’ve verified that it is exclusively an Xcode Cloud env problem too, as I was able to archive and upload for distribution manually. I bet this is one of those annoying things like how to get package support working therein.

A reminder to anyone using Xcode Cloud: the latest Xcode version is Xcode 26 Beta 7. It is _not_ the Release Candidate! That means Xcode Cloud cannot be used to submit iOS 26 app releases yet. If you want to make an App Store submission, you need to archive and submit it yourself.

O Xcode Cloud é uma CI que basicamente roda meu código para verificar se há algum problema, pode executar meus testes e até enviar meus aplicativos para o App Store Connect.

Descobri que posso […]
