I am developing the electronic part of product, it includes a Find-My features. I saw some forum that testing Find-My feature needs a CSR and testing token. Can anyone teach me how to apply CSR and testing token step by step? Thank you very much. Best regards Sam Ng

I am experiencing an issue where XCode reverts .xccurrentversion file in my iOS app to the first version whenever xcodebuild is run or whenever XCode is started. This means I can build the app and run tests in XCode if I discard the reversion .xccurrentversion on XCode start. However, testing on CI is impossible because the version the tests rely on are reverted whenever xcodebuild is run. The commands I run to reproduce the issue ❯ git status Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Path/.xccurrentversion no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") ❯ git checkout "Path/.xccurrentversion" Updated 1 path from the index ❯ git status nothing to commit, working tree clean ❯ xcodebuild \ -scheme Scheme \ -configuration Configuration \ -sdk iphonesimulator \ -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16 Pro,OS=latest' \ -skipPackagePluginValidation \ -skipMacroValidation \ test > /dev/null # test fails because model version is reverted ❯ git status HEAD detached at pull/249/merge Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Path/.xccurrentversion no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") I have experienced such issue in 16.3 (16E140) and 16.2 (16C5032a). Similar issues/solutions I have found online are the following. But they are either not relevant or do not work in my case. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17631587/xcode-modifies-current-coredata-model-version-at-every-launch https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/issues/81 Is anyone aware of any solution? Is there a recommended way I can run diagnostics on XCode and file a feedback?

I am constantly reaching my daily ChatGPT limit and even though it's recommending that I log in, I already am. What can I do to fix this?

According to this news, we don't need anymore (at least temporarily): https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/23/texas-app-store-law-blocked/ A Texas federal judge today blocked an App Store age verification law that was set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which means Apple may not have to support the changes after all. Hope we shall get very rapidly more information from Apple.

I am encountering a cloud signing permission error when archiving and uploading an iOS app using Xcode with Automatically manage signing enabled. Xcode reports that it cannot access or create cloud-managed distribution certificates, and therefore cannot find any App Store provisioning profiles for either the main app target or an associated Notification Service Extension. The error message returned by Apple’s certificate API indicates that access to cloud-managed distribution certificates is forbidden. Error messages Cloud signing permission error You haven't been given access to cloud-managed distribution certificates. Please contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin to give you access. No profiles were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Store provisioning profiles matching the app or extension targets. Environment Xcode: 16.x Signing method: Automatic signing (App Store distribution) Apple Developer Program team with existing distribution certificates Apple ID role: Admin (recently upgraded from a lower role) What I have verified Automatic signing is enabled for all targets The correct team is selected Bundle identifiers are valid and already registered The app and extension exist in App Store Connect Distribution certificates already exist in the team (previously created manually) Observed behavior Xcode attempts to access cloud-managed distribution certificates Apple certificate service responds with a permission-denied error As a result, provisioning profiles cannot be generated automatically Question After being upgraded to an Admin role, is there a known delay or additional requirement before an account can access cloud-managed distribution certificates, especially for teams that previously used manually managed distribution certificates? Is there any recommended action (besides waiting or having the Account Holder perform an initial signing operation) to unblock automatic signing in this situation?

I’m trying to test IAP in Sandbox, but I can't find any product IDs. It seems my Paid Apps Agreement is still "Pending User Info" even though Bank, Tax, and Compliance forms are all marked as "Active." It’s been over 10 hours. Does anyone know what "Pending User Info" might refer to if everything looks complete? I noticed I left the "Nickname" field blank in the Tax Form—could that be the reason? If so, how can I edit it since the forms are already submitted?

Hey all, I recently updated to Xcode 26.2 and I'm having the hardest time trying to download the corresponding iOS simulator. I installed Xcode from developer downloads and the app did not come loaded with an iOS simulator. When trying to download from Components in Settings, I only get the following message: Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 User Info: { checkConfiguration = 1; } I also tried downloading via Terminal but also get a download failed message. I am on the latest macOS and have over 600 GB of disk space available. In previous versions, I was able to download the iOS simulator directly from Developer Downloads, but anything after 26 is not there. Any suggestions?

Following an unexpected error message while working in Xcode, the project file xcodeproj is no longer synced in iCloud Drive. The Finder shows a cloud icon with a ! and an error message : (NSFileProviderErrorDomain error -2005.) If the local file is zipped, and unzipped elsewhere on iCloud Drive, then the unzipped file can still not be iCloud Synced. Restoring the file from a Time Machine archive does not solve the issue. Apple Care Support finds that iCloud Drive is working fine except for this xcodeproj file and says the issue is Xcode related.

Hello, According to documentation, the App Store does not re-download the entire app when updating, but instead generates an update package containing only the changed content compared to the previous version. I’d like to clarify the following points: 1. Granularity of file changes If only part of a large file changes, does the update package include the entire file, or does it patch only the modified portions within that file? 2. Guideline on separating files The documentation recommends separating files that are likely to change from those that are not. How should this be interpreted in practice? 3. Verifying the diff result Is there a way for developers to check the actual diff result of the update package generated by the App Store without submitting the app? Is there a diff command tool or comparison method closer to the actual App Store update process? 4. Estimating update size during development For apps with large-scale resources, minimizing update size is critical. Are there any tools or best practices to estimate the size of the update package before submitting to the App Store? Any clarification or reference materials would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It seems Xcode's predictive code completion model is censored. Specifically, when typing the word "torrent," the model stops working completely. It doesn't matter whether the word is written directly in the code or in a comment. It could also be part of another word, such as "qBittorrent." In either case, the model stops working. Reproducing this issue is fairly simple. Create a Swift file and type the word "torrent." The model will stop generating code. Xcode Version 26.2 (17C52) Predictive Code Completion Model: [com.apple.fm.code.generate_small_v2.base: 700.0.81600.13.202379,0] [com.apple.fm.code.generate_safety_guardrail.base: 1.6.81619.13.202072,0] [com.apple.gm.safety_deny.input.code_intelligence.base: 32025010.20251009.91600.100.1651,0] [com.apple.gm.safety_deny.output.code_intelligence.base: 32025010.20251009.91600.100.1651,0] (Installed)

Recently, I have experienced this issue and the alert keep popping on my playground non-stop although I pressed " allow". I have attached the issue screenshot in this post. Can anyone help me with that.

Hi Apple Developer Community and Enrollment Team, Update on organization enrollment H6899PPP9F for AI Prosperity Limited (D-U-N-S [yours]): All initial issues (D-U-N-S, email blocks, docs) resolved weeks ago, with enrollment number issued—yet final activation remains pending over 7 weeks since full submission on 11/27/2025. No ETA or outreach despite prior calls/emails/forum posts. To highlight the stakes: Our app powers a joint venture under the "Freedom Mastery" brand (planners promising QR-app access), with ~+10K customer engagements via physical sales trying to download the app. Key proof (attachments), 500-1000 customers added every day from now on: Amazon Seller Central (Nov 1–Dec 11, 2025): 9,360 units, $323K+ sales, avg $30/order—listings here tease app integration (1K–4K reviews/SKU). Shopify (same period): 9,999+ orders, $63K+ sales, 195K sessions—direct traffic to app waitlist. Redacted JV agreement excerpt: Confirms AI Prosperity Limited's legal authority/control over "Freedom Mastery" branding and sales. Dev entity (AI Prosperity Limited) matches all docs/D-U-N-S, but the JV tie may need verification—happy to provide full details. These buyers (many iOS users) are inquiring daily; delays risk churn/refunds in our habit-tracking space. Request: Escalate to senior review for activation/ETA. Ready for any clarifications. Thanks—excited to launch on Apple! Frederik AI Prosperity Limited Enrollment ID: H6899PPP9F

Moving the cursor left and right becomes extremely sluggish, though up-down movement and mouse clicks are normal. The Apple Store Genius checked the hardware and even reinstalled the OS, but the issue remains.

This is the error that I get when I build for the iOS App Store or run on my connected iPad (with App Store release). This is my first iOS app that i have developed. When I build for development I get no errors and runs fine on my iPad (also simulator ipads). I have several Mac apps on the app store. The embedded.mobileprovision file is in my app bundle. com.nawctsd.riotpad is the Bundle Identifier in the app and in the App ID Configuration.

I have been working for a while now. Never encountered this issue. After accepting the invite from the organization. The organizations does not appear at developer apple account. But can see the organization at app store connect. Yes i have checked the account permissions. I have the admin role and developer role etc is checked everything is correct. This is not just me happening with my colleague as well.

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.

I would love to partake in beta testing and reporting issues and bugs! Let me know what you got
