Azure devops xcode task hangs

by

running this task for my CI in AZDO
macos-13 microsoft agent, xcode 15.0, agent version: 3.227.1 (sometimes i get 3.227.2 but it’s not correlated to the timeouts)
same xcodebuild command executed locally (with cleaned derived data) works fine
i am going nuts…. at my rope’s end. please help

- task: Xcode@5
  displayName: "Archiving IPA"
  inputs:
    script: 'xcodebuild -showsdks'
    actions: 'clean'
    configuration: 'Debug'
    sdk: ''
    xcWorkspacePath: 'mobile/mobile.xcodeproj'
    scheme: 'mobile staging'
    packageApp: true
    exportMethod: 'ad-hoc'
    signingOption: 'manual'
    signingIdentity: 'Apple Distribution: .....'
    provisioningProfileUuid: '....'
    teamId: '....'
    destinationPlatformOption: 'iOS'
    args: '-verbose'
    useXcpretty: false

it hangs randomly. it can run 2 times fine, 3rd it hangs. i have a 60min timeout for the pipeline and if i leave it like this, it still won’t budge until it times out. an ok run usually takes 10min. last thing i see in console is

PLEASE help 🙁

  • Please use Xcode 14 on macOS-12 and check whether there is the same issue or not. Currently, macOS-13 is in beta and hasn’t been released to GA, it may have some issues.
