Problem description & steps to reproduce
Run the Release GH Actions Workflow on the master branch, see e.g.: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/16967961681/job/48096866168
The ios-xcode-build action in the Release workflow has failed since yesterday, blocking new releases. This coincides with the macOS image update at actions/runner-images#12541.
I think that adding this as the 2nd step to the GH Actions YAML should fix this:
- name: Setup Xcode and SDKs
run: |
# Install SDK
xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS
xcodebuild -downloadPlatform tvOS
xcodebuild -downloadPlatform visionOS
