Description

Hi I got this error only when I use Xcode 16 on GitHub.

Locally I uploaded the build also using fastlane with no error. Only with my GitHub Action I got the error and only on this branch with code 16. all others branch works fine (with xcode 15.4)

My lane

lane :uploadTF do |options|
    upload_to_testflight(
      api_key_path: "myJson",
      ipa: "./DerivedData/Build/MyApp",
      changelog: "log",
      groups: "team",
      distribute_external: true,
      skip_waiting_for_build_processing: false
    )
  end

Only on a specific branch of Xcode 16, where I use in the GitHub Action Xcode_16.app.

And I notice that in the log it talks about pilot.

Archive works, only the upload fails

What's wrong?

Thanks
