Xcode 16.3 release candidate was released today but has been through several betas over the past month and I don’t see any news of even a beta image being available? What is the ETA on this being made available please?

I reached out to CircleCI support and was told:
There are some new requirements introduced in xCode 16.3 that require some infrastructure changes on our end before we can build out support for it and make the images available. While the work is in progress, we do not have an ETA at this time.
Which is a little concerning.
MacOS 15.2+ is the only new requirement I’m aware of that Xcode 16.3 introduces. It’s possible/likely that this could be contributing to the delay if they were using MacOS 14 before.
Yep… previous images were on macOS 14.6.1
Found it on this doc:
Does anyone know when we can expect xCode 16.3 to be available in circleci?
No one knows, and CircleCI’s lack of communication on this front is worrisome. 
@circleci-community, please provide us with any updates on this, or could you tag someone who knows the answer?

Fortunately I’ve been able to hold off completing our migration to 16.3 due to numerous reports of issues with it and/or the 18.4 simulator, but it would still be nice for Circle to at least give us an ETA on a beta/test image.
Hello,
We’re actively working on resolving a number of issues rolling out Xcode 16.3 that were introduced in this release, affecting both the guest virtual machine and the host machine.
We don’t currently have an estimate on when it will be resolved at this time, but are working to release it as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience, and we’ll update this thread as soon as the image is released.

Hi, @cade. Any updates on this issue? We are holding full Swift 6 migration due to this delay, it’s becoming more and more critical for our company.

@cade Any update? We depend on Xcode 16.3 for our builds and it has been a really long time without CI. I’m considering moving away from CircleCI if you guys do not provide support in a manner way.
