I am so perturbed by Xcode's predictive code completion (PCC) - it operates like a 5 year old boy who constantly distracts me code by throwing up entirely irrelevant code sections even if there is nothing to complete. Even in cases where I have a long set of references (object dot something dot something etc), and PCC would be really handy, its list rarely has what is in the immediate scope of my source line as the first couple of suggestions. Additionally, its code suggestions (fully lines of code, structs etc) sort of skirt what might be possible mixed with code from elsewhere in my app. Quality of PCC is awful and at this point with CoPilot doing such a great job, chatGPT lose integration with Xcode, what is Apple thinking, are they serious about their hijacked AI term? I am open to suggestions, what (the heck) could I be doing wrong or should I refresh something. Right now I have turned off PCC, it is not helping.

Over the years I have submitted a variety of bug reports to Apple. Some for annoyance bugs big and small but also a number of (for me) critical issues. Responses to all of these I received were in the range of "no response...", "yep we know", "please verify a fix in Xcode version such and so" etc. and also requests to build example code if the issue persists. I am starting to wonder if it is worth it to spend time to provide a bug report at all. Responses, if I get them, come in many many moons after I reported them - in many cases I am no longer on that version of Xcode, that library or in that part of the code. I have built example/test code in the past but that can take a good amount of time, which I don't really have. Additionally, I have provided test code that than has no further follow up/answer from Apple - I guess I just chucked a bunch of my time on the window on that one. Bug reports and the time spent on them are purely for Apple's benefit and maaaaybe in the very long run for our benefit. With every new Xcode release, things are fixed but many more new problems and changes are introduced. I know I am just a little potato to Apple and don't expect VIP treatment - but I don't want to spend that time nor have any hope on some smallish answer on the issue reported. So what is your opinion, keep providing bug reports or nah save yer time already.

So where is the example code of what was presented wrt mapview blend modes? I have NO clue how to apply a blend mode.

Is there any way that code folding can be persistent between coding sessions? Yes, I know I can fold all methods with a shortcut - not looking for that. I like the methods I previously folded stay that way until I unfold them myself. Folding was introduced in Xcode 8 I believe, now we're at 13. Is about time it is able to save folding state, no?

I am attempting to replace my apps container data via Xcode's Devices dialog. I have done this successfully before but this time get stuck on Xcode listing the phone busy with "Uploading access_control.balance.mx". What is this and how can I overcome this?
