Xcode Cloud, to me, tells me how Apple doesn't understand building tools for developers in 2021. (Their internal tooling notwithstanding.) Contrary to the other major cloud providers and the tooling they offer...<p>Xcode Cloud requires you to push your repository to their servers, and you have to configure the "Workflows" via their desktop application. No configuration as code, no shell scripts you can run from your existing CI/CD, no ability to trigger a build remotely or push code to them on demand. You can't even synchronously wait on a build to finish - you have to set up a web server and listen for a webhook! You can't integrate it with your existing CI/CD - whether that's GitHub Actions, GitLab pipelines, etc.<p>In other words, their build tooling does not integrate with any devops infrastructure that exists in the world.<p>It's like they asked devops engineers what the state of the art is (declarative configuration, scriptable builds) and said, "we'll not be doing that, thank you very much."<p>Why oh why couldn't they have taken a page out of Google Cloud Build or Azure build and allowed me to "build" a Dockerfile using a local CLI command in their cloud? Or AWS CodeBuild and let me push code or a tarfile to a storage bucket (or pipe it to a CLI command)?
