Thanks for the heads-up, but in my case it doesn’t seem to help much. I disabled Dropbox, but to no avail. I just noticed in Activity Monitor that when Xcode says is copying the Swift standard libraries, it is actually code signing. I found that out in the CPU tab of Activity Monitor. In my case, Xcode launches up to 8 codesign processes depending on the target it is signing and the CPU user load skyrockets up to almost 100%. I have an iMac with a 3.5 GhZ Quad Core Intel i7 processor, and it struggles when code signing kicks in. I only noticed such a delay when I started to expand my mixed code base (ObjC + Swift), but that was apparently a red herring. The same happens with a purely Swift code base. It seems as though Apple changed the code signing to be more robust, and that is taking a toll on the processing resources and build time. if this is so, it is really unfortunate, especially if you need to code sign projects with many KLOC. I wonder if others see this too.

Dropbox may be at fault here. It installs file activity monitor that monitors all file activity in the system, not just in the Dropbox folder. When I quit Dropbox, verifying Xcode took seconds.

The archive utility has been sitting at Verifying Digital signature on Xcode 8.1.xip for the past 40 minutes.

How many centuries is this supposed to take on modern internet connections and on a 2 year old maxed out MBP pro?

Thanks.

I also noticed a huge increase in the amount of time that Xcode is using to copy the Swift standard libraries since I started to use a mixed code framework. Things that only would take seconds now they can take minutes. Perhaps we should file a bug, but I need to test more to see really under which projects this bug crops up. This sounds like a problem of communication with the Apple servers.

What I notices was that there was that the status bar had filled, it was still validating signatures, yet there was ni network traffic (unless Activity Monitor lies) and no CPU cycles allocated to the never ending task. No idea what caused it, I just double clicked on the file and waited 40 minutes while it never completed. _______________________________________________
