Only notify on success or failure

Tell us how we can improve Xcodes

Currently, Xcodes sends a notification for each of the 6 steps. Personally, I only care if the final step succeeded, or if any step caused an irrecoverable failure. Because that's all I care about, I'd like the ability to tell Xcodes to only notify my when that happens, not when every intermediate step completes.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Kinda? I find it a problem when I get too many notifications, especially ones with sound. It's not really a bug or such tho.

What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?

A setting in Preferences, which allows the user to select one of the following:

  • Notify for every step
  • Only notify on failure or final-success
  • Do not notify

More options would be awesome, but this is the minimum I expected

Came here to post the exact same feedback. I am working in Xcode 13.x but want to install the latest Xcode 14 beta. Having started the process, I want to go back to deep concentration on my other work. I have very few things that are allowed to post notifications to me on my computer. The ones from Xcodes come with a beep. Do all my notifications do that? I don't think so, but perhaps? Certainly, it interrupts my current thinking.

I love Xcodes handling the install, and the best assistant is one that works as independently as possible and only comes back to the boss if there is a problem, or to let them know the job is done. I'd love Xcodes to provide that option.
