Just a quick tip from what I discovered in the build times of our app in Xcode Cloud.
Beware of selecting another simulator device instead of one of the recommended iPhones.
- Prepare Simulator
- Custom device: ~3m
- Recommended device: ~3s
I assume Xcode Cloud comes preconfigured with the recommended iPhone. Any other device will take ~3m to setup in the testing step. (At least this is my assumption, please correct me if you have different findings.)
You don't have to use all recommended iPhone. It will work if you just select one of them.
