Im trying to run an macos instance with Xcode, however I’m using python scripts in the process.
Python is no longer installed on Mac OSX.

  1. How do I get Xcode and Python to co-exist on Circle CI?

  1. I’ve tried using ORB’s but I’m getting this error:
[#/jobs/build] only 1 subschema matches out of 2
1. [#/jobs/build] 2 subschemas matched instead of one

Here’s a snippet of my circle.yaml

version: 2.1
orbs:
  python: circleci/python@2.0.3
jobs:
  build:
    # Specify the Xcode version to use
    macos:
      xcode: "13.4.1"
    
    working_directory: ~/work
    executor: python/default              
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: "Python version"
          command: |
            python --version

Hi, the issue here is you are defining two executors for the same job. If you are trying to test in a macos environment, then you do not need the “executor: python/default” line too. Our macos images come with Python 3 pre installed, details can be found in the software manifest for the image version you are using: Testing iOS Applications on macOS - CircleCI
