We're seeing a sporadic crash (~2-3% of spawns) when launching a large Mach-O binary via posix_spawn(). The crash happens inside libsystem_malloc.dylib during __malloc_init, before any application code runs. The process never reaches main(). Environment: macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128), Apple Silicon (ARM64) Crash signature BUG IN LIBMALLOC: pointer range initial reservation failed, Abort Cause 3 #0 libsystem_malloc.dylib: xzm_main_malloc_zone_init_range_groups.cold.1 #1 libsystem_malloc.dylib: xzm_main_malloc_zone_init_range_groups #2 libsystem_malloc.dylib: xzm_main_malloc_zone_create #3 libsystem_malloc.dylib: __malloc_init #4 libSystem.B.dylib: libSystem_initializer #5 dyld: dyld4::Loader::findAndRunAllInitializers The binary It's a Chromium component-build test binary (browser_tests): ~1.5 GiB on disk, 5.54 GiB total VA footprint (__TEXT 517 MiB, __LINKEDIT 1.04 GiB, __PAGEZERO 4 GiB) Links 527 dylibs via @rpath All images span ~16.4 GiB of VA when loaded A simple loop that spawns this binary 200 times v

‌Using Xcode 26, the built package encounters device compatibility issues — while it installs successfully on supported iPhone devices, but it crashes immediately upon launch and cannot run normally.‌‌In previous versions of Xcode, the same minimum deployment setting in the project did not cause such compatibility issues.‌ The app built with Xcode 26 shows the following behavior when installed and tested on various devices:‌ iPhone6p iOS12.5.8 fails to run 2.iPhone6 iOS11 fails to run 3.Iphone6 iOS12.5.7 fails to run 4.iPhone7 iOS12.1.3 ok 5.iPhoneX iOS 12.2 ok 6.iphone6s plus iOS10.3.1 ok 7.iphoneXS. iOS 12.1.4 ok 8.iPhone11 iOS 13.6.1 ok 9.iPhone7. iOS 13.7 ok We have tested and found that an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 10.3.1 can normally run the app. We would like to know whether apps built with Xcode 26 are inherently incompatible with iPhone 6 and older devices. Has Xcode 26’s underlying build environment removed full support for the A8 chip, resulting in bina

Summary I'm using Background Assets to download Apple-hosted Asset Packs(downloadPolicy = onDemand). The first download cancellation succeeds, but on the second and subsequent downloads, progress.cancel() fails to work and the download completes to the end. Environment iOS 26.0 – 26.3 RC (all produce the same result) Xcode Version 26.2 (17C52) Using Apple-hosted Asset Packs Steps to Reproduce Start downloading an Asset Pack Call progress.cancel() during download → Succeeds Start downloading the same Asset Pack again Call progress.cancel() during download → Fails (download completes to the end) Observed Error Logs After 1st cancellation: A download with the ID X-XXXXXXXX-XXX failed: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 cancelled ↑ This is expected (cancellation succeeded) The fact that version 0 of the asset pack with the ID X-XXXXXX-XXX finished being downloaded couldn't be reported: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3851 Property list invalid for format: 200

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
