Local reproduction

I’ve tried your suggested steps, but it passes on my mac.

Local reproduction: Linux / Android (docker based) stack builds

I’ve tried running it on a fresh clone with the bitrise cli and it passes everytime. Is their a way to debug the build folder? via ssh perhaps?

Hi @willmunn,

It seems you use fastlane to run your iOS tests.

Can you please try to run the tests with our Xcode Test step instead? Fastlane’s scan lacks a couple of issue detection features which our Xcode Test step has. E.g. our step can automatically do a retry on the test if it encounters an issue like yours, in case it’s most likely related to the iOS Simulator being not initialized in time. In that case a simple retry helps.

Anyway, can you please try it with our Xcode Test step and let us know how it goes?
