Hi, we're trying to reduce the Xcode Cloud usage in our project, and in the logs of the "Test" action I can see that there's a "Save artifacts" step that takes quite a while (more than 10 minutes), and it looks like a "fixed cost" that's impossible to reduce by improving the build and the tests themselves. In the "Artifacts" section of the Xcode Cloud build I can see that there a "Test Products" zip that's almost 5GB, which seems to be the cause of this slowness (I could verify that in other projects the same zip is smaller, and the "Save artifacts" step is much faster, as a result), but this seems a waste: we never need to download that "Test Products" zip, and its upload takes literally 10 fixed minutes from every single build with a "Test" action. Is it possible to either stop uploading the "Test Products" zip? Or maybe to skip the "Save artifacts" step entirely? Thanks

Hi, recently something happened in Xcode Cloud, and the build times increased massively. In our CI workflow we run test, and one of the phases executes xcodebuild build-for-testing: the duration of this phase moved from about 8 minutes to about 36 minutes, without any major changes on our side. We observed this: in different apps; even when running a build on a old tag. All other phases don't seem affected, it's just the xcodebuild build-for-testing phase. I'm attaching 2 screenshots of the logs from AppStoreConnect that show the duration of each phase, where build 7600 is older and 7700 is more recent (but was run on a tag from a few weeks ago, to exclude issues related with the code base itself). We had not other option than to disable the CI checks for PRs, because they would take too long, and use up too much of Xcode Cloud time. What's happening? Thanks
