“build disappears”

Hello everyone. We have an app that has been on the App Store for several years, originally distributed for iOS and iPadOS only. Recently, we enabled Mac (Designed for iPad) and started distributing macOS-compatible builds. Current situation: The app is available and downloadable from the macOS App Store and runs correctly on Apple Silicon Macs. The same app/build appears in TestFlight on macOS, but cannot be installed. TestFlight shows the message: “This app can only be tested on an iOS device.” This suggests the app itself is Mac-compatible, but TestFlight is treating the build as iOS-only. Environment and checks performed: Mac is Apple Silicon. App Store Connect app-level availability for Mac (Designed for iPad) is enabled. The app is not Mac Catalyst; it is a UIKit iOS/iPadOS app. Distribution is done via GitLab CI. CI uploads use an App Store provisioning profile (Apple Distribution), not development or ad-hoc. iPhone and iPad TestFlight installs work as expected. Info.plist ve

Hi Guys, Hope you're well! I am consistently encountering a build warning in Xcode 26 that prevents proper symbolication of crash logs. The warning states: warning: (arm64) /Users/mickey/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CalendarSync-bjuvwxojzofqzzcmzzpdozbujrge/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/CalendarSync.app/CalendarSync empty dSYM file detected, dSYM was created with an executable with no debug info. Steps to Reproduce: Open the project in Xcode 26. Build the project for a physical iOS device (arm64) or Archive the project. The warning appears during the Generate dSYM phase of the build process. Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken (Issue Persists): Set 'Enable Debug Dylib Support' to No. Verified 'Debug Information Format' is set to 'DWARF with dSYM File'. Verified 'Generate Debug Symbols' is set to Yes. Set 'Strip Debug Symbols During Copy' and 'Strip Linked Product' to No. Performed 'Clean Build Folder' and manually deleted the DerivedData folder. The issue pe

I’m seeing what looks like a compiler / macro-expansion / build-pipeline issue. Environment: Xcode 26.4 RC (17E192, latest); I believe it is also reproducible on earlier versions. github source code I reduced this to a very small macOS/iOS app plus a local macro package. The app logic is trivial, but app exits immediately on launch with code 138 Important observations: If I inline everything into a single file, the problem disappears. I also see an error like this during investigation: The file path does not exist on the file system: /var/folders/.../swift-generated-sources/@__swiftmacro_18MacroFeedbackRepro20MountActivationState17PreservedRawValuefMm_.swift That makes me suspect this is not an application logic issue, but something in macro expansion / generated source handling / compiler pipeline.

I'm distributing a macOS .pkg installer signed with Developer ID Installer and notarized via notarytool.

Hey everyone 👋 I have 14 years of experience in iOS development, starting in my mid-teens and later working as a senior and lead developer with Fortune 50 companies. Around 1.5 years ago I began my indie journey as a side hustle, and for the past 3 months I have been building apps full time with a growing portfolio and increasing revenue 📈 I currently handle everything myself including development, ASO, and design, with marketing planned for later 🚀 I just shipped a major release last week and taking a relaxed week now, so feel free to ask anything about iOS development, indie life, ASO, monetization, or related topics 💬

Hey everyone 👋 I’m starting my journey in iOS app development coming from a Java background and I already have an app idea but want to approach things the right way so I’d love your guidance What AI tools do you recommend for coding debugging and learning Swift or SwiftUI 🤖 how do you approach app design 🎨 and where do you find UI inspiration graphics or useful resources for building apps 🚀 any tips or lessons learned would really help 🙏

Hello, I’m experiencing a severe performance degradation when running CoreML models on a live AVFoundation video feed compared to offline or synthetic inference. This happens across multiple models I've converted (including SCI, RTMPose, and RTMW) and affects multiple devices. The Environment OS: macOS 26.3, iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3 Hardware: Mac14,6 (M2 Max), iPad Pro 11 M1, iPhone 13 mini Compute Units: cpuAndNeuralEngine The Numbers When testing my SCI_output_image_int8.mlpackage model, the inference timings are drastically different: Synthetic/Offline Inference: ~1.34 ms Live Camera Inference: ~15.96 ms Preprocessing is completely ruled out as the bottleneck. My profiling shows total preprocessing (nearest-neighbor resize + feature provider creation) takes only ~0.4 ms in camera mode. Furthermore, no frames are being dropped. What I've Tried I am building a latency-critical app and have implemented almost every recommended optimization to try and fix this, but the camera-feed penalty remains: Matche

Area: Software Update Type of Feedback: Application Bug Description Device: iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Build environment: Xcode 16.4 Problem description: When a text field has secureTextEntry = YES and Password Autofill / Passkeys is active, the autofill panel is not included in the rect reported from the keyboard notifications (UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey or others). As a result, when calculating the offset to move the screen up and reveal the hidden input field, the field is not displayed correctly because the reported keyboard height is smaller than the actual visible height. Observed behavior: This only occurs on devices running iOS 26 built with Xcode 16.4. On previous versions of iOS, with the same settings (secureTextEntry and Autofill active), the rect correctly includes the autofill panel height, and the UI works as expected. I tested with both UIKeyboardDidShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, and in both cases the behavior is the same: the height is incorrect (sma
