I’m blocked debugging a watchOS app on a physical Apple Watch. The iPhone connects to Xcode normally (wired), but the Watch either fails to connect with a tunnel timeout or disappears entirely from Xcode after I unpaired it inside Devices & Simulators. Environment Mac: macOS 26.x (Apple Silicon Mac) Xcode: 26.2 iPhone: iOS 26.1 Apple Watch Ultra: watchOS 26.2 (build 23S303) Connection: iPhone connected to Mac via USB (trusted). Watch paired to iPhone and working normally in the Watch app. Issue A (when Watch is visible in Xcode) In Xcode → Window → Devices and Simulators, the Watch shows up but is not usable and fails to connect. Error: “Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.” “Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters.” In some attempts the Watch shows “Capacity: Unknown” / limited details, and then fails during preparation. Issue B (after unpairing Watch in Xcode only) I unpaired/removed the Watch in Xcode (Devices & Simulators). I did not unpair the Watch from the iPhone. Now: iPhone appears in Xcode and works normally for builds. Watch is still paired to the iPhone and works normally. Watch no longer appears anywhere in Xcode Devices & Simulators (no paired watch section, no watch run destination). What I’ve tried Reboots of Mac, iPhone, Watch (multiple times) Watch unlocked, awake; iPhone unlocked and close to Watch Verified Watch is paired and connected in iPhone Watch app Developer Mode enabled on iPhone and Watch Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ON (Mac/iPhone/Watch), tried toggling both Tried on home Wi-Fi and also with iPhone hotspot (same result) Resetting trust prompts / reconnecting iPhone via USB, re-trusting Mac Apple Watch: “Clear Trusted Computers” Xcode: removing/re-adding devices; clearing derived data; restarting Xcode Watch Developer networking test: Responsiveness = Medium (430 RPM) Questions 1. Is this a known issue/regression with Xcode 26.2 + watchOS 26.2 tunneling (CoreDevice / devicectl)? 2. Is there an Apple-supported way to force Xcode to re-discover a paired Watch after it was removed from Xcode Devices & Simulators (without unpairing the Watch from the iPhone)? 3. Any recommended logs or diagnostic steps I should collect (Console logs, sysdiagnose, specific Xcode/CoreDevice logs) to include in a Feedback report? If helpful, I can provide the full error text from Xcode’s Devices window and any logs you recommend. Thank you in advance,

Im working on my laptop with Mac OS 15.7.5 and Im using Xcode 26.0.1 and Im trying to simulate the code I've written. It only allows me to simulate on iPhone 16e but it never finishes loading, I also tried using my personal iPhone as a simulator but that doesn't work either. Could it possibly be my storage on why the simulators don't work?

I am unable to install due to the following error: "can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server" Mac OS: Tahoe 26.1 CLI: Iterm2 Command : xcode-select --install Output: Command transitions to a GUI installer and attempts to download but fails with the attached error. As a result I am unable to proceed with installing Homebrew from CLI or downloaded pkg

Device Details: MBP M2 Pro AND MBP M3 Pro macOS 26.3 (25D125) Xcode Version 26.3, 26.2, 26.1 (I reinstalled all 3 of these after the macOS update) BUG: Xcode hangs indefinitely when performing Source Control operations (Pull or Push) on a Git repository that uses SSH authentication. The same repository works correctly when performing the equivalent Git operations from the Terminal using the Git CLI. The issue appears to be specific to Xcode’s internal Source Control integration. When the operation is triggered from Xcode, the UI shows a spinning progress indicator and never completes. Terminal Git commands (git fetch, git pull, git push) complete normally using the same SSH key and repository. A hang sample taken during the issue shows the Xcode main thread blocked in Source Control authentication and fingerprint handling code paths, including: IDESourceControlUIHandler IDESourceControlFingerprintManager handleAuthenticationFailure showFingerprintAlertOnWindow This suggests Xcode may be waiting on a Source Control authentication or host fingerprint UI flow that never resolves. SSH connectivity itself is functioning correctly: ssh -T git@bitbucket.org and ssh -T git@github.com both authenticate successfully. git ls-remote, git fetch, git pull, and git push all work correctly from Terminal. No Source Control accounts are configured in Xcode Preferences. Authentication relies entirely on SSH keys. Steps to Reproduce Configure an SSH key for Git access (e.g., Bitbucket or GitHub) and confirm it works via Terminal. Clone or open an existing Git repository that uses SSH (git@host:repo.git). Open the project/workspace in Xcode. In Xcode, attempt a Source Control operation such as: Source Control → Pull Source Control → Push Observe that Xcode displays a spinning progress indicator and does not complete the operation.

Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my macOS and Xcode to the latest versions and today I have the strangest thing: Canvas is always crashing whenever I click it, in any and all my Projects. The full Simulator works just fine; only the Preview Canvas crashes. All the crash reports say it's because of AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch, and ChatGPT says it's not because of my code. These are very simple Projects, just for experimentation. Nothing complex, just native code while I follow examples in a SwiftUI book. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm trying to download the iOS 26.2 simulator, but it fails both in Xcode and via the command line. When I run: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 26.2 -exportPath ~/Downloads It returns: iOS 26.2 is not available for download. I would like to know: Why iOS 26.2 simulator cannot be downloaded at the moment. Whether iOS 26.2 simulator is still available, or if it has been removed or replaced. How to properly get and install the iOS 26.2 simulator. Any official explanation or solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am experiencing a UI issue after migrating my app from Xcode 16 to Xcode 26. In my implementation, I have a toolbar that contains multiple buttons along with a dropdown menu. The hierarchy for dropdown is as follows: **Toolbar → ToolbarItem → View → Menu → Picker ** Prior to Xcode 26, this setup worked smoothly in production builds. The dropdown (Menu + Picker) behaves as expected, and selecting a value triggers loading a dataset containing thousands of records on the screen. However, after upgrading to Xcode 26, I am observing an animation glitch when dismissing the dropdown after a selection is made. Specifically, the dropdown briefly shows a “capsule-like” animation artifact during dismissal, which persists for a few seconds. This visual issue is noticeable and negatively impacts the perceived performance and user experience of the app. This issue is occurring in an already released app built with Xcode 26. Questions: Is this a known issue or regression in Xcode 26 / SwiftUI Menu or Picker components? If yes, are there any known fixes or upcoming Xcode versions where this is resolved? If not, what would be the recommended approach to eliminate or minimize this animation glitch when dismissing the dropdown? Additional Context: The issue appears only after migration to Xcode 26. The dataset loaded after selection is large (thousands of records). The glitch specifically occurs during the dismissal animation of the Menu/Picker. Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

For difficult reasons I won’t get into, I ended up manually downloading the latest iOS 26 simulator runtime. I now have a file named 78756498-8AB4-4E5A-986C-7AA435758657.aar copied to my Mac. How do I get this archive installed so Xcode 26 recognizes it as a proper simulator runtime component? All searching I‘ve done for manually installing simulators references dmg files and older versions of Xcode. There’s no mention of aar files. When I tried the command: sudo xcrun simctl runtime add ./78756498-8AB4-4E5A-986C-7AA435758657.aar I get the result: An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22): Error while creating AEA backend Invalid argument I tried to use Archive Utility to open the file but that just says it is unable to expand the file. I even tried renaming the file with a dmg extension and then tried mounting the file and I get the same “AEA backend” error. My Mac doesn’t have sufficient Internet access to let me download and install this normally through Xcode. I need to find a way to get this file installed manually.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Trying out the new package trait support in Xcode 26.4 and it seems like the default traits for the package are being enabled even when explicitly set to disabled. At first I thought it was something wonky in the Xcode UI around the new support for traits. I've been able to replicate the issue with just two Swift packages, so no Xcode UI for setting the traits. Feature package // swift-tools-version: 6.3 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "MyAwesomeFeature", platforms: [ .macOS(.v26) ], products: [ .library( name: "MyAwesomeFeature", targets: ["MyAwesomeFeature"] ) ], traits: [ .trait(name: "SomeBetaFeature"), .default(enabledTraits: ["SomeBetaFeature"]), ], targets: [ .target( name: "MyAwesomeFeature" ), ], swiftLanguageModes: [.v6] ) For the sake of testing I've given it a simple object that just prints if the trait is enabled Inside MyAwesomeFeature public struct SomeObject { func printTraitStatus() { #if SomeBetaFeature print("Beta feature enabled") #else print("Beta feature disabled") #endif } } I then have a second package that depends on the feature and produces an executable // swift-tools-version: 6.3 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "SwiftPackageBasedProgram", platforms: [ .macOS(.v26), ], products: [], dependencies: [ .package(name: "MyAwesomeFeature", path: "../MyAwesomeFeature", traits: []) ], targets: [ .executableTarget( name: "MyAwesomeProgram", dependencies: [ .product(name: "MyAwesomeFeature", package: "MyAwesomeFeature") ] ), ], swiftLanguageModes: [.v6] ) If I run MyAwesomeProgram from the command line with swift run I get the output I would expect Build of product 'MyAwesomeProgram' complete! (6.10s) Inside SwiftPM program Beta feature disabled If I run the same program from within Xcode though Inside SwiftPM program Beta feature enabled Program ended with exit code: 0 I've got the sample project available here if anyone wants to try it out. Has anyone else come across anything like this? Very possible I'm just missing something.

I've been investigating a persistent 401 Invalid Bearer Token error with Claude Agent in Xcode 26.3 on an Intel Core i9 Mac and wanted to share my findings here in case others are affected. ENVIRONMENT Hardware: Intel Core i9 (x86_64) Xcode: 26.3 (17C529) macOS: 26.3 (25D125) THE ISSUE Claude Agent fails with "Failed to authenticate. API Error: 401 - Invalid bearer token" on every prompt, despite the account showing as Signed In under Settings → Intelligence. The error persists after signing out and back in, and the token is confirmed valid and unexpired in Keychain. WHAT WORKS Claude Code in Terminal works perfectly on the same machine with the same credentials The basic Claude Sonnet 4.5 coding assistant in Xcode works fine Only Claude Agent is affected ROOT CAUSE HYPOTHESIS Xcode appears to be installing an ARM64 Claude binary on Intel Macs silently, with no warning or fallback. This binary likely fails to execute on x86_64 hardware and that failure is being misreported upstream as a 401 authentication error — which is why the error has nothing to do with the actual credentials. APPLE'S RESPONSE Feedback report FB22141224 was closed as 'Works as currently designed' with the explanation that Claude Agent requires the Neural Engine found on Apple Silicon. However, Claude Agent calls Anthropic's remote API over the network and performs no on-device AI processing — the Neural Engine is not involved. The fact that Claude Code works fine on this same Intel Mac with the same credentials demonstrates this clearly. WORKAROUND Using an Anthropic API key instead of OAuth resolves the issue but requires additional paid billing outside of an existing Claude.ai subscription. Has anyone else experienced this on either Intel or Apple Silicon? I'd be particularly interested to hear if Apple Silicon users are also affected, as the Developer Forums suggest this may not be limited to Intel Macs (thread/816369). Any input from Apple DTS engineers would be greatly appreciated.

Using XCUITesting to access images using photos picker. The code is roughly like this: photoPickerButton.click() try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2)) let images = app.descendants(matching: .image) .matching(identifier: "PXGGridLayout-Info") // select the first 5 images for ix in 0..<5 { let image = images.element(boundBy: ix) if image.exists { image.click() } } // why do I have to click this twice? Output says the second // click does "Falling back to element center point". app.buttons["Add"].firstMatch.click() app.buttons["Add"].firstMatch.click() Other than the minor annoyance of having to click the Add button twice that works fine. The issue is the second time in the same test I run almost identical code, but only try to select the first image as a test for handling duplicate selections. Doesn't work. The first image returned from the query exists, but is not hittable. This is a testing issue as running the steps manually work fine. The element I want to click is this: Attributes: Image, 0x73511d540, {{1794.0, 745.2}, {98.0, 73.5}}, identifier: 'PXGGridLayout-Info', label: 'February 02, 1:00 PM' Any ideas?

My app uses SwiftData so I need at least iOS 17 as the minimum deployment target. When I select iOS 17 in the dropdown it selects iOS 17.6 as the target. However, the newest simulator available is iOS 17.5. Should I set my minimum deployment target to 17.0, 17.5, 17.6, or something else?

When I try to build my iOS app using Xcode Cloud, it encounters an error when trying to resolve packages: an out-of-date resolved file was detected at [path to package.resolved], which is not allowed when automatic dependency resolution is disabled; please make sure to update the file to reflect the changes in dependencies Looking at my package.resolved file, it all seems to be in order.

I have an orphaned asset folder taking up 9.13GB located at: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime/c0d3fd05106683ba0b3680d4d1afec65f098d700.asset It contains SimulatorRuntimeAsset version 18.5 (Build 22F77). Active Version: My current Xcode setup is using version 26.2 (Build 23C54). I checked the plist files in the directory and found what seems to be the cause of the issue: The "Never Collected" Flag: The Info.plist inside the orphaned asset folder explicitly sets the garbage collection behavior to "NeverCollected": <key>__AssetDefaultGarbageCollectionBehavior</key> <string>NeverCollected</string> The Catalog Mismatch: The master catalog file (com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime.xml) in the parent directory only lists the new version (26.2). Because the old version (18.5) is missing from this XML, Xcode and mobileassetd seem to have lost track of it entirely. What I Have Tried (All Failed) Xcode Components: The version 18.5 does not appear in Settings -> Components, so I cannot delete it via the GUI. Simctl: xcrun simctl list runtimes does not list this version. Running xcrun simctl runtime delete 22F77 fails with: "No runtime disk images or bundles found matching '22F77'." Manual Deletion: sudo rm -rf [path] fails with "Operation not permitted", presumably because /System/Library/AssetsV2 is SIP-protected. Third-party Tools: Apps like DevCleaner do not detect this runtime (likely because they only scan ~/Library or /Library, not /System/Library). Has anyone found a way to force the system (perhaps via mobileassetd or a specific xcrun flag) to re-evaluate this folder and respect a deletion request? I am trying to avoid booting into Recovery Mode just to delete a cache file. Any insights on how AssetsV2 handles these "orphaned" files would be appreciated.

Is it mandatory for all developers to migrate to Xcode 26 starting from April 28, 2026? What happens if a developer submits or distributes a build created using Xcode 16 after April 28, 2026? Will it still be accepted or supported? Our app is distributed only via an internal company portal (not through the App Store). In this case, are we still required to build and distribute the app using Xcode 26 after April 28, 2026? If a hotfix is required before our next planned release (July 2026), how safe is it to use the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag as a temporary solution, assuming Xcode 26 becomes mandatory? Are there any risks or limitations associated with this approach? What are the potential issues if a team continues development on Xcode 16 while others have migrated to Xcode 26? For example, could there be compatibility, build, or integration challenges in such a mixed environment? If the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag is used as a temporary workaround, what would be the impact if Apple later removes support for this flag, especially with newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 26+)? For users who already have the app installed with this flag enabled For users installing the app for the first time after such changes
