Apple's Xcode Cloud Service Remains Down for All Developers

Apple's Xcode Cloud service is currently experiencing a widespread outage that began yesterday evening, leaving all developers unable to access the platform's continuous integration and testing capabilities.

According to the Apple Developer System Status page, the disruption started at 6:48 PM ET yesterday and continues to affect all users. The status page indicates that "all users are affected" by the ongoing issue, though Apple has not provided specific details about the nature of the problem or an estimated timeline for resolution.

The current status simply states: "Xcode Cloud – Issue Yesterday, 5:48 PM – ongoing All users are affected This service is currently experiencing disruptions. We are working to resolve the issue."

Xcode Cloud, launched in 2021, provides developers with cloud-based tools for building, testing, and distributing iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS applications. The service allows developers to automate their development workflows without needing to maintain their own build infrastructure.

For developers relying on Xcode Cloud for their daily workflows, this outage means disrupted build processes, delayed testing cycles, and potential impacts on development timelines. The service is particularly critical for teams working on tight release schedules or those who depend on automated testing and distribution pipelines.

Apple has not yet provided additional details about what caused the outage or when normal service can be expected to resume. The company typically updates its System Status page as new information becomes available or when service is restored.

Developers can monitor the current status of Xcode Cloud and other Apple developer services by visiting the Apple Developer System Status page directly. The page provides real-time updates on the operational status of all Apple developer platforms and services.

This incident highlights the importance of having backup development workflows and local build capabilities, as even cloud-based services from major providers can experience unexpected disruptions that impact development teams worldwide.
