GitHub Actions job exceeded the time limit

What this error means

The job hit its time limit. iOS archives are slow on a fresh runner, and a step waiting for input or a hanging test ends here too.

Why it happens

The job hit its timeout-minutes. Either the build is slower than the limit, or a step is waiting on input or a hung command.

The message tools print

The job running on runner GitHub Actions 12 has exceeded the maximum execution time of 60 minutes.

How to fix it

1. Look at the last step that printed something — that’s the one that hung.
2. If the build is just slow, raise timeout-minutes for the job.
