XCRunway gives developers a focused way to start workflows, follow build progress, inspect failures, and access artifacts without opening App Store Connect in a browser. WORK WITH YOUR BUILDS • Browse Xcode Cloud products, workflows, and build history • Start regular or clean builds • Rerun completed builds using the same source revision • Automatically refresh pending and running builds while viewing them • Inspect errors, warnings, test failures, and results • View commit details and build actions • Open or share download links for logs, result bundles, archives, and other artifacts • Switch between multiple App Store Connect teams PRIVATE BY DESIGN XCRunway connects directly to the official App Store Connect API.
