## What is Ground Crew CI?

Ground Crew puts Xcode Cloud in your pocket. Watch builds as they run, read the errors and test failures, start or rebuild a build, and set up workflows, all from your iPhone or iPad.

BUILDS
• Every app's recent builds in one list, refreshing while they run
• Each action's errors, warnings and analyzer issues, with file and line
• Test results: which tests failed, on which device, and why
• Download logs and archives to Files, or AirDrop them to a Mac
• Rebuild, clean rebuild, or start a build on any branch, tag or pull request

WORKFLOWS
• Create, edit, duplicate, switch off or delete workflows
• Start conditions for branches, pull requests, tags, schedules or by hand
• Build, test, analyze and archive actions, for TestFlight or the App Store
• Choose Xcode and macOS versions and the devices tests run on

FLIGHT PLANS
Ready-made workflows that follow good practice, for iOS and Mac apps: pull request checks, TestFlight on every push to main, App Store releases from tags, nightly health checks, releases on demand and feature branch builds. Mac apps you sell outside the Mac App Store also get Developer ID releases, archived ready for notarization. Pick one and Ground Crew fills in your scheme, project and branch.

NOTIFICATIONS
Get told when a build finishes, or only when one fails. There's no server: Ground Crew checks in the background whenever iOS allows.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Sign in with your own App Store Connect API key. It's stored in your device's Keychain and only used to sign requests to Apple. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Optional Face ID can lock the app or ask before changes.

Turning on Xcode Cloud for a brand new app still needs Xcode on a Mac, as Apple's API doesn't allow it. After that first workflow, Ground Crew can do the rest.

Try everything with the demo team, no key needed.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-11-09

• Pull to refresh no longer leaves a gap at the top of the screen, and works straight away when you come back to Ground Crew.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-06

• macOS Flight Plans: switch the Flight Plans tab to macOS to set up Mac workflows, including a Developer ID Release plan that archives tagged commits ready for notarisation.
• Flight Plans and the workflow editor now prefer Apple's Recommended devices and runtimes that follow the selected Xcode, so workflows keep working when Xcode Cloud moves on.
• App icons appear straight away when you open Ground Crew.
• Ground Crew no longer asks for your API key again when iOS opens it while your phone is locked.
• The demo team leaves your teams list once you add your own. You can still open it from Settings.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-05

No release notes.
