I'm building a macOS app using SwiftUI, and I want to create a draggable floating webcam preview window Right now, I have something like this: import SwiftUI import AVFoundation struct WebcamPreviewView: View { let captureSession: AVCaptureSession? var body: some View { ZStack { if let session = captureSession { CameraPreviewLayer(session: session) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 50)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 50) .strokeBorder(Color.white.opacity(0.2), lineWidth: 2) ) } else { VStack(spacing: 8) { Image(systemName: video.slash.fill) .font(.system(size: 40)) .foregroundColor(.white.opacity(0.6)) Text(No Camera) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(.white.opacity(0.6)) } } } .shadow(color: .black.opacity(0.3), radius: 10, x: 0, y: 5) } } struct CameraPreviewLayer: NSViewRepresentable { let session: AVCaptureSession func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSView { let view = NSView() view.wantsLayer = true let previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: session) previewLayer

Hello everyone, I am developing a Flutter iOS application that includes a Widget Extension + Live Activity (ActivityKit). The project runs successfully on the iOS simulator when launched directly from Xcode, but it cannot be signed properly via Flutter and I cannot upload the build to App Store Connect due to the following CodeSign error: Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code Provisioning profile … doesn't include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.activitykit.allow-third-party-activity This error never goes away no matter what I try. And the main problem is that my App ID does NOT show any ActivityKit or Live Activity capability in the Apple Developer portal → Identifiers → App ID. So I cannot enable it manually. However: Xcode requires this entitlement Flutter requires this entitlement When I add the entitlement manually in the .entitlements file, Xcode says: “This entitlement must be enabled in your Developer account. It cannot be added manually.” So I am stuck in a

Hello to all I have coded in swift a headless app, that launches 3 go microservices and itself. The app listens via unix domain sockets for commands from the microservices and executes different VPN related operations, using the NEVPNManager extension. Because there are certificates and VPN operations, the headless app and two Go microservices must run as root. The app and microservices run perfectly when I run in Xcode launching the swift app as root. However, I have been trying for some weeks already to modify the application so at startup it requests the password and runs as root or something similar, so all forked apps also run as root. I have not succeeded. I have tried many things, the last one was using SMApp but as the swift app is a headless app and not a CLI command app it can not be embedded. And CLI apps can not get the VPN entitlements. Can anybody please give me some pointers how can I launch the app so it requests the password and runs as root in background or what is the ideal framewo

We are implementing a camera intercom calling feature using VoIP Push notifications (PushKit) and LiveCommunicationKit (iOS 17.4+). The app works correctly when running in foreground or background, but fails when the app is completely terminated (killed by user or system). After accepting the call from the system call UI, the app launches but gets stuck on the launch screen and cannot navigate to our custom intercom interface. Environment iOS Version: iOS 17.4+ (testing on latest iOS versions) Xcode Version: Latest version Device: iPhone (tested on multiple devices) Programming Languages: Objective-C + Swift (mixed project) Frameworks Used: PushKit, LiveCommunicationKit (iOS 17.4+) App State When Issue Occurs: Completely terminated/killed Problem Description Expected vs Actual Behavior App State Behavior Foreground ✅ VoIP push → System call UI → User accepts → Navigate to intercom → Works Background ✅ VoIP push → System call UI → User accepts → Navigate to intercom → Works Terminated ❌ VoIP push → Sy

It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

This is using: **Unity 6000.2.7f - latest ARKit etc Xcode 26.1 ** This is going to iPad/iPhone/iOS and I have succesfully built to the iPad before, but updates to the software seem to have added these errors in. Basically all updated as much as possible. Originally I got 5 errors, but updates brought it down. On build I now get 3 undefined symbols: Undefined symbol: _swift_FORCE_LOAD$_swiftCompatibility51 Undefined symbol: _swift_FORCE_LOAD$_swiftCompatibility56 Undefined symbol: _swift_FORCE_LOAD$_swiftCompatibilityConcurrency This appears to be a bug, or issue, that is in some way known, but I'm not sure how best to get past it. ld: warning: search path '/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.1.324.0.kGuqPt/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphoneos' not found ld: warning: search path '/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.1.324.0.kGuqPt/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.0/iphoneos' not found ld: warning: Could not

I think I really have tried everything and I did all according to official documentation to support game mode on iOS or iPadOS but it doesn't matter what I do it just doesn't get triggered. Funny enough it works during development when I install it via Xcode but as soon as it is live on the store and when I install it from there game mode doesn't get triggered anymore. What I have atm I have added (even though it is deprecated) GCSupportsGameMode I have set the (but it seems only supported for macOS) LSApplicationCategoryType public.app-category.games I have added LSSupportsGameMode It just doesn't work. Is there anything else what needs to be done? Should the flag LSSupportsGameMode not be enough normally? The reason why this is so annoying is that my app is a real time streaming app and I want to profit from minimised background activities for smoother gameplay and more consistent frame rates like mentioned in the documentation.

Hi, I am using xCode26.x. But my Metal4 classes are not compiling. I downloaded the sample code from Apple's website - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Metal/processing-a-texture-in-a-compute-function. For example, I am getting errors like Cannot find protocol declaration for 'MTL4CommandQueue'; I have hit a deadline. Any recommendations are very welcome. I have downloaded the Metal Tool chain. When I run the following commands on the terminal - xcodebuild -showComponent metalToolchain ; xcrun -f metal ; xcrun metal --version I get the following response - Asset Path: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_MetalToolchain/86fbaf7b114a899754307896c0bfd52ffbf4fded.asset/AssetData Build Version: 17A321 Status: installed Toolchain Identifier: com.apple.dt.toolchain.Metal.32023 Toolchain Search Path: /Users/private/Library/Developer/DVTDownloads/MetalToolchain/mounts/86fbaf7b114a899754307896c0bfd52ffbf4fded /Users/private/Library/Developer/DVTDownloads/MetalToolchain/mounts/86fbaf

Hi everyone, I'm trying to add the Side Button Access entitlement to my voice-based conversational app following the documentation, but I'm unable to find it in Xcode. Steps I followed: Selected my app target in Xcode project navigator Went to the Signing & Capabilities tab Clicked the + Capability button Searched for Side Button Access Problem: The Side Button Access option does not appear in the capabilities list at all. Environment: I'm developing and testing in Japan (where this feature should be available) Xcode version: Xcode 26.2 beta 3 iOS deployment target: iOS 26.2 Questions: Is there any pre-registration or special approval process required from Apple before this entitlement becomes available? Are there any additional requirements or prerequisites I need to meet? Is this feature already available, or is it still in a limited beta phase? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, my game update got rejected with the following violations : Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance The app contains hidden features. Specifically, this app contains a switch which causes it to behave differently during review via alternative web content presentation. It would be appropriate to remove this feature entirely before resubmitting for review. Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality Your app provides a limited user experience as it is not sufficiently different from a web browsing experience. As such, the experience it provides is similar to the general experience of using a web browser. Including features such as push notifications, Core Location, or sharing do not provide a robust enough experience to be appropriate for the App Store. My game is a crossword mobile game made with Unity, and I am using the following 3rd party Sdks: -Playfab server : used to fetch configs, leaderboards and pvp matches. -Applovin : diplaying Ads -Adjust : for marketing measurement -Firebase : analytics/c

We have an unreleased SwiftData app for iOS18+. While we were testing I saw reports on the forum about unexpected database migrations for codable arrays on iOS26.1. I'd like to ask a couple of questions: 1- Does this issue originate from the new Xcode version, or is it specific to iOS 26.1? 2- Is it possible to change our attribute so that users on older iOS versions receive the same model, preventing a migration from being triggered when they upgrade to iOS 26.1? One of our models looks like this: struct Point: Codable, Hashable { let x: Int let y: Int } @Model class Grid { private(set) var gridId: String = var points: [Point] = [] var updatedAt: Date = Date() private(set) var createdAt: Date = Date() #Index([.gridId]) ... } I can think of some options like: // 1 @Attribute(.transformable(by: CustomJsonTransformer.self)) var points: [Point] = [] // 2 @Attribute(.externalStorage) var points: [Point] = [] // 3 var points: Data = Data() // store points as data However, I'm not sure which one to use.
