[PunchNFIT]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

React Native

Steps to reproduce

Expected results

16.4 (16F6) /Applications/Xcode-16.4.app, also selected when specifying latest in Xcode version settings

Hi @PunchNFIT, not sure where you're seeing this error, but based on the build ID you shared, the build is using Xcode 16.4

Also, I checked your latest codemagic.yaml configuration and noticed a few syntax issues.

• The machine: property does not exist
• You're specifying the Xcode version in the wrong section

workflows:
  expo_ios:
    name: Expo iOS Build
    max_build_duration: 60
    machine: <--------------- this property doesn't exist 
      xcode: "16.2.1"  <------------ wrong place
    environment:
      # bring in your two secret groups:
      groups:
        - expo_credentials    # exposes $EAS_TOKEN
        - expo_project_id     # exposes $EXPO_PROJECT_ID
        - mobile_env          # (your other runtime vars, e.g. API_BASE_URL)
        . . .

And here's how it should be correctly defined:

workflows:
  expo_ios:
    name: Expo iOS Build
    max_build_duration: 60
    instance_type: mac_mini_m2    # ✅ Correct way to define the machine type
    environment:
      xcode: 16.4                 # ✅ Xcode version should be set here
      groups:
        - expo_credentials
        - expo_project_id
        - mobile_env
        . . .

Let me know if you need further help

Hello David, Thanks for the response. That successful build was done by integrating with EAS They used an outdated Xcode. Now I’m trying to use your platform to build but it’s not pulling the iOS credentials so I set up a debug and it confirmed it. Please see below:
