Getting archive fail while launching command from TeamCity, but if it launch manually from console then it works fine.
Command:
xcodebuild -project Unity-VisionOS.xcodeproj -scheme Unity-VisionOS -destination generic/platform=xros archive -archivePath Unity-VisionOS.xcarchive -quiet > logs/visionos_archive.log 

Error:

I tried a lot things. But problem is in that it doesn't work from TeamCity. Probably because of different environment.

Hi,

The build fails with errors such as:

- “Failed to find or create execution context…”
- “Failed to find a suitable device… Incompatible device”
- IBSimDeviceTypeiPad2x + visionOS 2.1 runtime mismatch

These errors originate from Xcode’s internal Interface Builder tool (ibtoold), which compiles storyboards/xibs for the visionOS target. During this process, Xcode requires a visionOS simulator device and runtime to render Interface Builder assets.

The same command runs successfully when executed manually because your local macOS user has the required visionOS runtime and Vision Pro simulator devices installed. However, the TeamCity agent user (e.g., teamcity or buildagent) does not have access to these simulators. As a result, Xcode falls back to iOS devices (e.g., iPad2x), which are incompatible with visionOS, causing the storyboard compilation to fail.

If possible, please ensure the TeamCity agent runs under the same macOS user account. If it runs under a different user, it may not have access to visionOS simulators. For more information on configuring a TeamCity agent to start automatically under a specific user, please refer to:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/start-teamcity-agent.html#Automatic+Start.

To help us further investigate, you can share the output of the following commands when executed inside a TeamCity build step:

xcrun simctl list runtimes
xcrun simctl list devices
xcode-select -p

Hi,

Thanks for confirming that xcode-select -p returns /Applications/Xcode-16.1.0.app/Contents/Developer both locally and on the TeamCity agent.

This confirms that both environments are using the correct Xcode installation. The issue is not the Xcode path, but rather the state and availability of simulator devices within that Xcode environment on your headless CI machine.

The build is failing because it tries to use an iPad (iOS) device profile (IBSimDeviceTypeiPad2x) with the visionOS runtime. This indicates a project configuration issue, where LaunchScreen-iPhone.storyboard is being compiled for the visionOS target using iOS/iPad settings.

Your local machine masks this issue — likely due to valid cached profiles or Xcode automatically switching to a proper Vision Pro simulator — but the CI environment cannot do this.

From your xcrun simctl list devices output, the Vision Pro simulator is marked as:

-- visionOS 2.1 --

Apple Vision Pro (E4D22A75-A38E-4135-9152-EF4D64BEC3F2) (Shutdown) (**unavailable, device type profile not found**)

When ibtool runs in CI, it attempts to use this Vision Pro simulator but finds it unavailable, then falls back to a generic iPad profile — which naturally causes the “Incompatible device” error.

Since your Xcode path matches, you could have a try to use xcrun simctl commands in TeamCity build step to manually create and boot a Vision Pro simulator so that it appears as “available,” ensuring ibtool has the runtime context it needs.

Thanks for directing me in right problem solving direction. I discovered that, for some reasons, I cannot create simulator from TeamCity because of devices types list is empty for Vision. This is what  xcrun simctl create "Vision Pro CI" com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.Apple-Vision-Pro com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-2-1 prints:


Invalid device type: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.Apple-Vision-Pro

And  xcrun simctl list devicetypes:

Looks like TeamCity launch environment is different from system.

Hi,

Please ensure that your runtime is installed globally.

Could you please add the following script to your TeamCity build steps and share the results with us?

# ==========================================
# Configuration
# ==========================================
DEVICE_NAME="TC-VisionPro"
# Number of old simulators with the same name to keep (optional cleanup)
MAX_OLD_SIMULATORS=1 

# ==========================================
# 1. Select Device Type
# ==========================================
# extract the device type ID (e.g., com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.Apple-Vision-Pro)
# We use head -n1 to pick the first available match.
DEVICE_TYPE=$(xcrun simctl list devicetypes | grep "Apple Vision Pro" | head -n1 | awk -F '[()]' '{print $2}')

if [ -z "$DEVICE_TYPE" ]; then
    echo "[ERROR] No 'Apple Vision Pro' device type found!"
    echo "Tip: If running in TeamCity, ensure env.HOME is set correctly or the Runtime is installed globally."
    exit 1
fi
echo "Using Device Type: $DEVICE_TYPE"

# ==========================================
# 2. Select Latest xrOS Runtime
# ==========================================
# Extract the runtime ID (e.g., com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-2-1)
# Filters out 'unavailable' runtimes.
RUNTIME=$(xcrun simctl list runtimes | grep -i "xrOS" | grep -v "unavailable" | head -n1 | awk -F ' - ' '{print $NF}' | tr -d ' ')

if [ -z "$RUNTIME" ]; then
    echo "[ERROR] No available VisionOS / xrOS runtime found!"
    exit 1
fi
echo "Using Runtime: $RUNTIME"

# ==========================================
# 3. Check for Existing Simulator
# ==========================================
# Check if a simulator with the specific name already exists
EXISTING_UDID=$(xcrun simctl list devices | grep "$DEVICE_NAME" | head -n1 | awk -F '[()]' '{print $2}')

if [ -n "$EXISTING_UDID" ]; then
    echo "Found existing simulator: $EXISTING_UDID"
    UDID=$EXISTING_UDID
else
    echo "No existing simulator found. Creating new Vision Pro simulator..."
    UDID=$(xcrun simctl create "$DEVICE_NAME" "$DEVICE_TYPE" "$RUNTIME")
    echo "Created simulator with UDID: $UDID"
fi

# ==========================================
# 4. Boot Simulator (Idempotent)
# ==========================================
# Check the current state of the device.
# We grep for the UDID and check if the string "(Booted)" exists in that line.
if xcrun simctl list devices | grep "$UDID" | grep -q "(Booted)"; then
    echo "Simulator $DEVICE_NAME ($UDID) is already Booted. Skipping boot."
else
    echo "Booting Vision Pro simulator ($UDID)..."
    # Try to boot; ignore error if it happens to transition states immediately
    xcrun simctl boot "$UDID" || echo "Warning: Boot command returned an exit code, but we will wait for status."
fi

# ==========================================
# 5. Wait for Boot Completion
# ==========================================
echo "Waiting for simulator to finish booting..."
# 'bootstatus -b' blocks until the device is fully usable
xcrun simctl bootstatus "$UDID" -b || { echo "[ERROR] Simulator failed to boot within timeout"; exit 1; }

# ==========================================
# 6. Final Status Check
# ==========================================
echo "--------------------------------"
echo "Simulator Ready:"
xcrun simctl list devices | grep "$UDID"
echo "--------------------------------"

# ==========================================
# 7. Cleanup Old Simulators 
# ==========================================
if [ "$MAX_OLD_SIMULATORS" -gt 0 ]; then
    echo "Checking for old simulators to clean up..."
   
    # List all devices with this name, exclude the current one we just used/created
    # Then delete the excess ones if count > MAX
    xcrun simctl list devices | grep "$DEVICE_NAME" | grep -v "$UDID" | awk -F '[()]' '{print $2}' | while read -r OLD_UDID; do
        if [ -n "$OLD_UDID" ]; then
            echo "Deleting old simulator: $OLD_UDID"
            xcrun simctl delete "$OLD_UDID" || echo "Failed to delete $OLD_UDID (might be in use)"
        fi
    done
fi

How can I ensure that runtime installed globally? I downloaded SDK from Xcode GUI from Settings → Components

And Xcode was downloaded by xcodes utility (also i tried downloading from https://xcodereleases.com/ )

That's what your script prints:
[ERROR] No 'Apple Vision Pro' device type found!

Tip: If running in TeamCity, ensure env.HOME is set correctly or the Runtime is installed globally.

 

env.HOME is same both locally and from TeamCity

Hi,

The error “No 'Apple Vision Pro' device type found!” typically occurs when the VisionOS runtime is installed under the user-specific directory:

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/...

In this case, the TeamCity build agent (even when using the same $HOME value) cannot access the runtime because it resides in a user-protected folder that the agent process cannot read.

This is why I’m a bit confused by your note that you are using the same user for both the console command and TeamCity. If the same user is truly being used, then the runtime should be visible from TeamCity as well.

To verify where the runtime is actually located, please run the following command:

xcrun simctl list runtimes --json

In the JSON output, check the value of bundlePath:

If the bundlePath starts with:

/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator

→ The runtime is installed globally and should be visible to all users, including TeamCity.

If the bundlePath starts with:

/Users/{userName}/Library/...

The runtime is installed only for your local macOS user

This situation often happens because the CoreSimulatorService running during the TeamCity build has not refreshed its device list, or because the runtime simply exists only in the user-specific ~/Library path.

To ensure that TeamCity can recognize the VisionOS device type, the runtime should be installed system-wide. The most reliable way is to install it using sudo, which places the files under:

/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator...

This makes the runtime accessible to all processes and all users, including CI agents. make sure that the user running TeamCity is the same as your login user.

I’ve tested this approach on my side, and the Vision Pro device type is detected correctly in TeamCity when the runtime is installed globally. For more details please refer to the screenshot.

Hmm, path is ok, but for some reasons output from your command is different:
 

Locally:

…
"supportedDeviceTypes" : [
       {
         "bundlePath" : "\/Applications\/Xcode-16.1.0.app\/Contents\/Developer\/Platforms\/XROS.platform\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Profiles\/DeviceTypes\/Apple Vision Pro.simdevicetype",
         "name" : "Apple Vision Pro",
         "identifier" : "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.Apple-Vision-Pro",
         "productFamily" : "Apple Vision"
       }
     ],
     "identifier" : "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-2-1",
     "platform" : "xrOS",
     "bundlePath" : "\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Volumes\/xrOS_22N580\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Profiles\/Runtimes\/xrOS 2.1.simruntime",
     "runtimeRoot" : "\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Volumes\/xrOS_22N580\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Profiles\/Runtimes\/xrOS 2.1.simruntime\/Contents\/Resources\/RuntimeRoot",
     "lastUsage" : {
       "arm64" : "2025-11-28T10:32:20Z"
     },
     "name" : "visionOS 2.1"
…

From TeamCity:

"supportedDeviceTypes" : [
  
         ],
         "identifier" : "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-2-1",
         "platform" : "xrOS",
         "bundlePath" : "\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Volumes\/xrOS_22N580\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Profiles\/Runtimes\/xrOS 2.1.simruntime",
         "runtimeRoot" : "\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Volumes\/xrOS_22N580\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Profiles\/Runtimes\/xrOS 2.1.simruntime\/Contents\/Resources\/RuntimeRoot",
         "lastUsage" : {
           "arm64" : "2025-11-28T10:32:20Z"
         },
         "name" : "visionOS 2.1"

The array of supportedDevicesTypes is empty on TeamCity. Probably it needs to full reinstalled to initialize correctly.

Hi,

> Probably it needs to full reinstalled to initialize correctly.

You could try adding a TeamCity build step to run:

xcrun xcodebuild -downloadPlatform xrOS

This will refresh or install the platform and device profiles. After that, please re-check:

xcrun simctl list devicetypes

to verify that Apple Vision Pro is listed.
