Xcode 13 RC Released

Announcements
1

22 Stepmber Update: Apple has marked the same Xcode build number 13A233 as the Release version of Xcode 13. In this instance we do not need to re-build the Xcode 13 image as they are identical releases.

The Xcode 13 RC image has just been released and can be selected as follows:

macos:
    xcode: 13.0.0

This image replaces the Xcode 13 Beta 5 image

Breaking changes in this image

If upgrading from Xcode 12 images, please be aware of the following changes:

  • Ruby 2.5 via chruby has been removed as Ruby 2.5 is EOL as of April 2021. We continue to provide Ruby 2.6, 2.7 and 3.0
  • We have added nvm to the image to manage nodejs installations. By default we will always ship the latest current and lts releases

Hi. I noticed today that the iOS 14.5 and iOS 15 simulator names in this release are the same for each iPhone model. The result is that I don’t appear to have a way to specify the iOS version my tests are run on. I don’t think this has been the case in the past. Is this expected?

Hi, this is a difference in how xcrun instruments and xcrun simctl works. The former is no longer available in Xcode 13 as Apple removed it (it was deprecated since Xcode 12). If you run xcrun simctl list you will see it now mostly relies on unique ids for the simulators, rather than having the iOS version in the name. E.g.,

== Devices ==
-- iOS 15.0 --
    iPhone 8 (4F3C3334-5BFF-4F16-A1E8-97AF050ACE08) (Shutdown)
    iPhone 8 Plus (0326776B-B6F0-4FC3-8016-8DBDBF76A260) (Shutdown)
    iPhone 11 (4AA076A4-4933-46F3-BBCE-15F723EF694A) (Shutdown)
    ...

The easiest way forward is to use the macOS Orb as documented here:

https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/testing-ios/#pre-starting-the-simulator

I recently added a new command to the orb which can boot the simulator on Xcode 13+

Source code for this step is here if you are curious about how it works:

We have an issue that was triggered only by changing our circleci run target from Xcode 12.5.1 to Xcode 13.0.0.

Same code was working all fine on 12.5.1

Any ideas?
We took care of checking that Simulator iPhone 8 with iOS 14.5 was available in your image.
