Guides

• Browsing your apps and workflows

  Find your way around Mobile Builds — the Apps grid, sort options, app details and workflow details, including build timings.

• Creating and editing workflows

  Add, change and delete Xcode Cloud workflows from Mobile Builds — repository, environment, triggers and actions, without opening a browser.

• Downloading build artifacts and logs

  Get archives, log bundles, test products and result bundles off a build run in Mobile Builds using the share button on each artifact.

• Finding a failing test

  Narrow a test action's results in Mobile Builds down to what failed, using the status filters and the search field.

• Hiding apps you don't work on

  Use the Apps filter in Mobile Builds settings to limit the Apps and Runs tabs to the products you actually work on.

• Installing the MCP server helper

  Download the Mobile Builds MCP server from Settings, move it to Applications and open it once, so Xcode and Claude Code can read your builds.

• Re-running a failed build

  Queue the same Xcode Cloud workflow and git reference again from the build run screen in Mobile Builds, and what to do when Rebuild is unavailable.

• Reading a build run

  Use the Runs tab in Mobile Builds to see every build across your apps, change the date range, and read what a single run actually did.

• Starring apps and workflows

  Keep the apps and workflows you check most often in the Favourites tab of Mobile Builds, one tap from anywhere in the app.

• Starting a build from your phone

  Queue an Xcode Cloud run from Mobile Builds — reuse the last run's git reference, or type a branch and choose whether to build clean.

• Using Mobile Builds from Xcode

  Add the Mobile Builds plug-in to Xcode so its coding assistant can read your Xcode Cloud apps, workflows and failing runs through the Mobile Builds MCP server.
