macos:
xcode: "10.0.0"
The software manifest for the image is here.
Here are the more notable changes from the 9.4.1 image:
Thanks for this 
There seem to be multiple versions of the simulators installed - see the extract from our build log:

Any suggestions how we can work around this, given the IDs change on every build?
Here’s my current workaround:
xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 8" to pre-boot the simulator, rather than using Instruments.SIMULATOR_ID=`xcrun instruments -s devices | grep -m 1 "iPhone 8 (12.0)" | cut -d "[" -f 2 | cut -d "]" -f 1
-destination "platform=iOS Simulator,OS=latest,id=$SIMULATOR_ID"
You can also reset simulators with approach I wrote here: Xcode 10 Beta VM
This seems more reliable than my previous approach!
Hello! Is there a timeline for getting the 10.0.0 image updated to use Beta 6? Thanks!
Apple introduced notarize app for next version of macOS, 10.14 Mojave.
https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev88332a81e
It requires macOS 10.13.6 or later as well as Xcode 10.
ATM, CircleCI only support Xcode 10 with macOS 10.13.3
https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/testing-ios/#supported-xcode-versions
https://circle-macos-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/image-manifest/build-440/index.html
Please update Xcode10 image to macOS 10.13.6 or later.
Thanks.
Any plans on Xcode 10 Beta 6? iOS 12 is coming on September 12 and more people will need this update soon.
Reference: https://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2018/
We also need Beta 6 as we cannot build on beta 5 due to issues with it. So any update will be greatly appreciated.
Regarding release schedule of new XCode VMs: what is CircleCIs policy? When can we expect updated VMs for new XCode releases? How long after apple releases the GM version can we use it for our CircleCI builds?
I was unable to find this information. If I missed it and your process is already documented somewhere, please let me know where this is posted.
Also, are there any expected timelines for availability of older simulators for Xcode 10? My tests on iOS 12 are working, but to check for regressions on older iOS versions, I like to run tests on a simulator for each major version of iOS that we support.

Last year the GM was released on Circle around 24h after it was made available, so I’m hopeful it won’t be long now. However, it seems like the betas have been a bit slower getting to Circle this year.
Same here, please add Xcode 10 GM, we have to do manual releases otherwise.
Would love to get a status update on when we can expect Xcode 10GM.
Adding my voice to this, when can we expect to see the Xcode 10 GM available? we need that when code-signing builds for the App Store
XCode 10 GM is being worked on and will be released soon. Please subscibe to the https://discuss.circleci.com/c/announcements category, we will post there as soon as it is possible.
I’m told it just came out last night, so please give us some time for testing so we don’t release a broken VM to you. It will be out as soon as it is ready.
