Feature Request Any ETA for Xcode 13.3.1 support?

Cannot update to the new Firebase version because the iOS builds fail.

 

Would love to know that also, maybe Unity Cloud team could think of page for upcoming sdk updates.

 

I came here also looking for that.

We mistakenly updated our Firebase to v9.0.0 and got this error on UCB:

504: ▸ ❌; ld: could not reparse object file in bitcode bundle: 'Invalid bitcode version (Producer: '1316.0.21.2.3_0' Reader: '1300.0.29.30_0')', using libLTO version 'LLVM version 13.0.0, (clang-1300.0.29.30)' for architecture arm64
505: ▸ ❌; clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
506: ▸ Copying FBLPromiseError.h
507: ▸ Compiling FBLPromiseError.m
508: ▸ Compiling FIRInstallationsHTTPError.m
509: ▸ Compiling FIRInstallationsErrorUtil.m​

I believe this was caused by the same issue, is that right?

 

@ollieblanks Could you direct us to the page where the roadmap can be found for updates to build tools and Unity versions? We are evaluating Cloud builds and must of course make sure that the latest version is always available. I am sure this was an isolated incident that is corrected with the utmost urgency, right? As I said I am just making sure that we will always be able to build if we were to commit to this, as build servers are critical company infrastructure.

Thank you.

 

@MikeSaverUnity could we get Unity update on this issue?

 

Any update here?

 

We are also having this problem
Bump!

 

Still no updates?

 

The lack of support on this initiative made us decide to not use this service, but thank you anyway. We can not commit to a build system where we don't have control over the Unity and Xcode versions and where they are not instantly installed as they become available, nor is it clearly communicated when it will happen. Things seem too random and it appears as the Cloud Build is only aimed at hobbyists at this stage, which of course makes it impossible to commit to right now.

Can one of you please comment on this? We don't need you to update xcode right away, we already know it's an issue based on the last 2-3 years of dramas. What's really making it look bad is the lack of communication.
Give us an ETA so that we could know if it's worth waiting for us or should we consider downgrading Firebase. Just a rough plan would be fine.

 

Thank you for the communication, it is appreciated. Now that it's been 3 weeks since your last post, can you provide another update on ETA? Understood if you'll need more time, but this is important for many of us for planning purposes, particularly as Firebase dropped support for Xcode < 13, meaning that any project using the latest stable version of Firebase will fail to build under Unity Cloud Build today.

 

I am also getting this exact error when building with cloud build with the new version of Firebase. Local build works fine. Please remedy!

 

Thanks very much for the communication and transparency! I wish you and the team best of luck in the final productionization push.

Btw, might be worth considering whether there would be value in (eventually) opening up a pre-production environment to the public. I think I probably speak for many folks here when I say we'd be happy to try running our builds against a newer, unstable environment. It would give us an early preview of possible incompatibilities, and probably help us help you move more quickly and with greater confidence, catch bugs earlier, etc. Obviously I realize setting up a public test environment would be relatively big lift and so it wouldn't help with the rollout at hand, but might be something worth evaluating for future releases!

 

Any update here?

 

+1 Any update on that version? i'm needing to upgrade admob and firebase and i'm unable to do that because this.

 

Good day! Can you please let us know when x code 13.3.1 will be updated? We are not able several SDK (firebase, iron source, etc).

Honestly speaking, it is not the first time when UCB blocks us for more than a month. It's pretty frustrating... Hope you will find a way to deliver x code update faster.

 

@scotth-unity @MikeSaverUnity @wrossmck-unity
+1 any updates to 13.3.1?
Firebase is most popular sdk to use push notifications - but UCB does'not support it.
Wat's wrong with you guys? - UCB feature doesn'work about 3 MONTH!!!
3 MONTH!

 

@StanislavMaksheev

I just ended up switching to Codemagic — it's a cloud build tool very similar to UCB, but in many ways, it (hilariously) has better integration with Unity than Unity's own Cloud Build tool! I switched to it this weekend and honestly I can't believe I suffered with UCB for so long before looking for alternatives. UCB folks, if you want to copy some of their great ideas, here some of the features I've appreciated during my transition....

- latest Xcode + macOS and the previous 3 version always available
- use any version of Unity editor the moment it's released (even before UCB gets it!)
- build config lives in a simple .yaml file, not a confusing GUI. you can manage in version control!
- faster build times available as paid upgrade (Mac Pros or M1 machines!)
- SSH or even VNC into any build machine while it's running
- great documentation

Where Codemagic is lacking:
- AddressableAsset/CCD support out of the box

 

Any updates on ETA?

 

???????

 

According to this page: https://unity-technologies.github.io/cloud-build-docs-public/xcode-unity-versions-compatibility after the "July 18th" update `13_latest` will be supported (except not for the 2021 LTS unity versions?). So presumably this will be resolved whenever that gets released.

 

?????
Guys, what's wrong with you? It's really not funny to totally block all developers for 3 month! A lot of us have projects in production and can't use your service... We pay you money and not able to use your service for several months.

I understand that s*** happens and it takes time to handle it... but 3 months??? And total ignorance!

 

@aromana

Hey, it's Alex from Codemagic here!
Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate a lot, and we tried really hard to be a good CI/CD for Unity.
Also, as for CCD, we have it preinstalled on the build machines, and we've recently published a blog post on using CCD together with Codemagic

 

Hey Alex, thanks for the note. Unfortunately, that blog post is actually quite misleading. It doesn't actually demonstrate how to use CCD for remote content updates in production, only how to use CCD as place to store images during the development process. That workflow is very limited, and not really what CCD is intended to be used for — as written, it's more or less achieving the same thing as Git LFS.

It would be great if CodeMagic could publish a "part 2" blog post that actually shows how to set up CCD for the workflow folks probably expect (and Unity Cloud Build supports): pushing out remote content updates (e.g. new cosmetics) without needing to do a full redeploy of the game binary.

Btw, we're now off-topic for the thread, so if you have followup, feel free to email me at avi [at] magiccircle [dot] studio rather than replying here.

 

Any updates here? has anyone tested 2022 if that uses the newer versions of xcode?

 

yup, still broken, 3 months down the line.. any ETA on xcode 13.3?

 

Does unity team understand how important it is to update xcode ASAP?

Outdated xcode also blocks updates for android builds for multiplatform projects. We just can't merge branch with upgraded SDK to master branch because ios version couldn't be build. We can do only manual builds or use other services (team city or codemagic). We used UCB for 5 years. But for the last year it becomes unreliable for projects operating...

 

They don't as they don't use their own tools. That or the entire Cloud Build "effort" (I use the term loosely as effort implies... effort) has been sunset.

This is atrocious and a clear sign that developers should steer clear from Unity's cloud offerings as any company tied to it would be in a very bad place right now. How can Unity not understand the importance of a working build infrastructure?

 

Honestly, I still can't believe that this meme became real...

 

I can confirm that my iOS project, which uses Firebase SDK 9.2.0, builds fine on UCB with "Xcode 13.3.1 (Experimental)" enabled.
Note that I had to disable "Auto detect Unity Version" for the Xcode selection to work.
(Also, I really like the new configuration UI and layout.)

 

What happened? the experimental versions disappeared

 

Not here...

 

Anyone else or is it just me?

 

I'm seeing both 13.3.1 (Experimental) and 13.4.0 (Experimental)

Have you tried changing the Unity version (in the setting above) to see if it's a version issue\restriction?

Mine is set to Auto Detect (project is 2020.3.36f1)

 

You are right, for some reason the experimental versions are not available for Unity 2021.3.8f1 (although visible for previous unity versions)

 

Xcode 13.3.1 & Xcode 13.4.0 still show the Experimental tag for me. What's the status of this? How much longer will they stay experimental?

 

Unity 2021 still doesn't work with this, Just tried the experimental x code. Who will refund all the failed cloud builds, as I had no idea this was due to Unity taking months to support something so critical and needed by so many...
