info

Pool-Based Xcode Version Selection​

A version other than the Xcode versions listed on the Config tab of the build configuration should not be entered manually as the Xcode select workflow argument. Because the Xcode versions listed there are the versions installed on runners. Entering an unavailable Xcode version may cause the build to fail.

You can review the documentation for detailed information about the Xcode version selection here.

This step builds your application for iOS devices in ARM architecture, which is required for the Share With Testers feature or any other means of iOS distribution.

Xcodebuild for iOS Simulator​

This step builds your application for the iOS Simulator in x86_64 or arm64 architecture. This step creates an unsigned xarchive file. You may also optionally install the application for given simulator.

Xcodebuild for Testing​

This step builds your application for testing.

Xcodebuild for Unit and UI Tests​

This step performs unit and UI tests for your iOS applications. This does not "build" your app, but uses the "xcodebuild" command to run tests. To build your app for testing, please refer to the previous workflow step.
