To read about our customer support policy regarding beta images, please check out the following support center article. This can include breaking changes in Xcode/associated tooling which are beyond our control. If you are requesting an image using an Xcode version that is currently in beta, please expect it to change when Apple releases a new Xcode beta with minimal notice. Unlike our stable images (which are frozen and will not change), once a new beta image is released it will overwrite the previous beta image until a GM (stable) image is released, at which point the image is frozen and no longer updated. We endeavour to make beta Xcode versions available on the macOS executor as soon as we can to allow developers to test their apps ahead of the next stable Xcode release. We announce the availability of new macOS containers, including Xcode betas, in the annoucements section of our Discuss site. When a new major version of macOS is released, we will generally switch to this once the new major version of Xcode reaches the xx.2 release to ensure the execution environment is kept stable. Periodically, we will update the version of macOS each image includes to ensure the execution environment is as up to date as possible. Our goal is to keep your execution environment stable, and to allow you to opt-in to newer containers by setting the xcode key in your config.yml file. Generally, the contents of a particular build image will remain unchanged, except in very exceptional circumstances we might be forced to re-build a container for a specific reason.

We build a new image each time a new stable, or beta, version of Xcode is released by Apple and aim to get these deployed as soon as possible. Using the macOS executorĮach macos job is run a fresh virtual machine, running a specified version macOS. There is documentation for an iOS example project and getting started on MacOS. For more information about supplied images, refer to the software manifest for each Xcode image. Each image provided has a set of common tools installed, such as Ruby and OpenJDK, alongside a version of Xcode. Using Multiple Executor Types (macOS + Docker)ĬircleCI offers support for building, testing and deploying iOS projects in macOS virtual machines.
