Support Request for XCode Cloud build performance

Dear all,

For an important client, we are currently experiencing issues related to performance IOS build using Xcode Cloud.

More in detail, their build process is taking approximately 30 minutes to complete at the moment, whereas the same build executed locally on a Mac machine takes around 7 minutes.

This significant difference in build times is causing concerns and slowing down the development work. We would appreciate your support in identifying possible causes and exploring different ways to improve the actual situation (ex if it is possible to increase the Cloud machine calculation power).

Could you please advise us on how we might proceed to analyze and potentially optimize the build times on Xcode Cloud? What kind of processors are used?

Any guidance, best practices, or diagnostic steps you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your support.

It’s one of the great ironies that the slower Xcode cloud is the more it profits from users. So is there a true business reason to make it faster?

This paradox is one of the reasons I probably won’t move off the free tier. (Which for all I know is slower by default).

Dear John,

Thank you for your response. From reading your reply, I’m assuming that there is a tier with significantly more compute resources available. Is that correct?

Thanks,

Eugenio
