Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 11, 2026 by britecity-social Closed May 11, 2026
Summary
Claude Code iOS app hangs on "Setting up sandbox" when starting a new cloud session. Issue persists across app restarts.
Environment
- Platform: Claude Code iOS app
- Session ID:
claude/implement-todo-item-Yv1Ul - Repo attempted: private repo, ~3 MB on GitHub, no submodules, no custom git hooks
Steps to reproduce
- Open Claude Code iOS
- Start a new session with a repo attached
- Sandbox provisioning UI appears and never completes
Expected
Sandbox boots within typical provisioning time.
Actual
Hangs indefinitely on the sandbox setup step.
Workarounds tried
- Force quit + relaunch — no change
- New session vs resume — no change
Notes
Repo is healthy from a desktop CLI perspective (clone, status, log, gh repo view all clean). Suspect provisioning-side issue rather than repo-specific.
