⭐ Xcode 16.0 will be default starting October 6

[helinanever]

As of October 6, 2024, we are introducing the Xcode 16.0 build machine image as our new default. Additionally, Xcode latest will be switched to 16.0.

Key points:

• If your Xcode version is set to latest or if no specific Xcode version is configured, then your builds will utilize the Xcode 16.0 image.
• Refer to the build machine specs for details on preinstalled software and available runtimes.

Action required:

• Please review your build configuration promptly to avoid unexpected behavior.
• You can always set a specific Xcode version in your build settings. Configure this in the Build section of the Flutter workflow editor or the environment section of codemagic.yaml.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

We started to experience issues with AppStore Connect. This is due to 3rd party dependencies on iOS that are still using bitcode. One solution is to stay on xcode 15.4, the other is stripping bitcode from the 3rd party framework (example article).

Hello! When Xcode 16 stated to be used in codemagic I started to have problems in the codemagic build (but it works fine locally on my computer with Xcode 16).

I'm having this error:

Failed to archive ios/HealthHive.xcworkspace. The following build commands failed:

Already searched but can't find any post or discussion related with that, can anyone help me on that?

Thank you in advance

Hello @catarinaguerreiro i already responded on Discord but i'll share it here as well.

Please try to clean your project locally by removing the podfile.lock and package-lock.json files.
These files can sometimes lock dependencies to specific versions that may no longer be compatible with the latest xcode version or your current configuration. After removing them, please run locally:

yarn install
cd ios && pod install

to regenerate those files.

Also, in your codemagic.yaml, you have set xcode: latest, which always uses the latest Xcode version. This can lead to issues like the one you're experiencing. I recommend hardcoding the Xcode version you're using locally, for example:

xcode: 15.4
