Xcode Cloud: The page you’re looking for can’t be found.
We started seeing an access issue today when attempting to go to the Xcode Cloud tab in App Store Connect. When you navigate to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/:teamId/apps/:appId/ci we're seeing the following message: The page you’re looking for can’t be found. The page you’re looking for does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it. I am the account holder so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Is there an ongoing outage or problem in Xcode Cloud? And, if so, where can I monitor this accurately?

Xcode 26 Beta 3 unable to build with error: Failed to find a DDI that can be used to enable DDI services on the device
In Xcode 26 Beta 2 I had no issues, but as soon as I updated to Beta 3, I get the following error when I attempt to build to my iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26 beta 3: Failed to find a DDI that can be used to enable DDI services on the device.

Suddenly, cannot install app on device
Hi, I am using Xcode 16.4, and my test device is Iphone 16 pro max. Everything was working fine until today when I get an error that I cannot install the app on the device. The error I get is: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.cRjyg7/extracted/[myapp].app : 0xe8008015 (A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.) Please ensure sure that your app is signed by a valid provisioning profile. Creating a new project and installing it to the mobile works fine. Please can someone from Apple or the community respond? there are many posts with this error but none were solved. Troubleshooting attempts included: Resetting all certificates. delete the app from the device unpairing device codesigning via cli reloading older git code commit Nothing is working. thanks

Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle
Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle XXX.XXX.XX [Payload/Runner.app/PlugIns/OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension.appex] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate]. A Distribution Provisioning profile should be used when submitting apps to the App Store. For more information, visit the iOS Developer Portal. With error code STATE_ERROR.VALIDATION_ERROR.90161 for id 81c3cef4-fefe-468d-910c-cf7a4b5377a8 Any help? I have tried to create new provisioning profile and identifiers but still get this error when uploading app to the App Store.

"Show API Changes" no longer available on Apple Developer Documentation website?
There was a time that Apple Developer Documentation provides a filter to show the changes across versions, at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technologies , with purple (modified), green (added), and red (deprecated) annotations. I wonder if this feature is completely removed, or is it still hiding somewhere? It is helpful to diff the API changes among versions. Thanks. edit: as pointed out by Rick, here is an archive link to what it used to look like

Apple Music iOS 26 features in Android
Since many users like me use Apple Music on Android, the app is almost as feature-rich as iOS. It would be fantastic if the developers could add the new iOS 26 features to the Android app, along with a minor UI change. I know it’s challenging to implement liquid glass on Android hardware or design, but features like auto-mix, pronunciation, and translation could be added. kindly consider this request !!!!

🔥 Developer Account Expired — No Option to Renew, No Timely Support (India)
I’m extremely disappointed with the Apple Developer Program experience. Our organization account (JD SOFTWARE PRIVATE LIMITED) expired on October 26, 2024, and to this day, there is no visible option to renew — not in the Apple Developer app (iOS/Mac), not on the developer website. We've followed every instruction Apple provides, and nothing works. To make things worse, I’m based in India, but Apple’s support is clearly U.S.-centered and unresponsive. I contacted support and got a canned response asking me to wait 24 hours. Why does a global company like Apple not provide time zone–relevant or regional developer support? This isn’t a minor inconvenience—it’s a major business disruption. Our apps are unavailable, and we can’t push updates. And yet we’re met with silence and confusion when we try to give Apple more money to renew our account. Apple enforces the strictest guidelines on developers, yet offers no proper channel to resolve something as basic as account renewal. It’s absurd. We’re now being forced to consider alternative app stores and distribution platforms—not because we want to leave, but because Apple is making it impossible to stay. Apple, please fix this. Developers outside the U.S. deserve better. JD SOFTWARE PRIVATE LIMITED

Support Request for XCode Cloud build performance
Dear all, For an important client, we are currently experiencing issues related to performance IOS build using Xcode Cloud. More in detail, their build process is taking approximately 30 minutes to complete at the moment, whereas the same build executed locally on a Mac machine takes around 7 minutes. This significant difference in build times is causing concerns and slowing down the development work. We would appreciate your support in identifying possible causes and exploring different ways to improve the actual situation (ex if it is possible to increase the Cloud machine calculation power). Could you please advise us on how we might proceed to analyze and potentially optimize the build times on Xcode Cloud? What kind of processors are used? Any guidance, best practices, or diagnostic steps you can suggest would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your support.

Avoiding Plugin Execution in a Linked Swift Package During Top-Level Package Builds
I am working on an iOS project using Xcode 16.0 that leverages multiple Swift packages. Among these, I have a Shared Package that contains reusable code and is linked to several top-level feature packages (e.g., VideoPlayer, VideoEditor, etc.). The Shared Package includes a Swift Package Manager plugin for linting code standards, which is designed to execute during its own build process. However, when building a top-level package (e.g., VideoPlayer), the Shared Package is also built as part of the dependency graph. During this process, the linting plugin in the Shared Package is executed unnecessarily, even though the intent is to only build the Shared Package's code. This behavior results in a significant increase in build times for the top-level packages, as the linting plugin is executed every time the Shared Package is built indirectly. Key Details: Xcode Version: 16.0 Swift Package Manager: Used for dependency management. Issue: The linting plugin in the Shared Package executes during the build of top-level packages, increasing build times. Expected Behaviour: The plugin should only execute when the Shared Package is built directly, not when it is built as a dependency of a top-level package. I would like to know if there is a way to configure the Shared Package or the Swift Package Manager to prevent the plugin from executing when the Shared Package is built as a dependency of a top-level package, while still allowing the plugin to run when the Shared Package is built directly. Any guidance, configuration tips, or best practices to address this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Xcode26 beta.2 build error
I am writing to report multiple issues encountered after updating to Xcode 26 Beta, which have significantly impacted my project's compilation and functionality. My project can run normally in Xcode16.3 version, Below are the specific problems, along with the steps I took to address them and the subsequent errors that arose: Symbol Not Found Error for _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb After updating to Xcode 26 Beta, my project failed to build with the error: "Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb." To resolve this, I removed the MobileCoreServices framework from the Build Settings, as it appeared to be related. However, this led to a new error, indicating that this change introduced further complications. Clang++ Error: No Such File or Directory 'OpenGLES' Following the resolution of the first issue, I encountered a new error: "iOS clang++: error: no such file or directory: 'OpenGLES'." To address this, I added the OpenGLES.framework to the Build Phases. While this resolved the clang++ error, it triggered additional errors, suggesting that the underlying issue persists or new dependencies are conflicting. Recurring XIB File Compilation Errors My project uses XIB files, and every time I attempt to compile and run, Xcode reports errors related to different XIB files. Notably, when I open the reported XIB file, no errors are displayed within the Interface Builder. After saving or inspecting the file, the compilation error temporarily disappears, only for another XIB file to trigger the same issue in the next build. This creates a repetitive cycle. I have confirmed this is not a caching issue, as I clean the build cache (Product > Clean Build Folder) before each run. If I skip cleaning the cache, the OpenGLES-related error (Issue 2) reappears, indicating potential interactions between these problems. These issues have made development with Xcode 26 Beta extremely challenging, as each attempted fix seems to introduce new errors, and the XIB issue creates a persistent loop. My setup includes: Xcode Version: 26.0 beta 2 (17A5241o) macOS Version:15.4.1 (24E263)

HotKey support for sandboxed apps
App design: macos, Xcode 16.4, Sequioa 15.5, it is sandboxed Uses: Pods->HotKey for a global hotkey which xcode says "binary compatibility can't be guaranteed" This app is on the Apple Store and supposedly apps on the Apple Store can't use global hotkeys. Someone internally, installed it from the store and the global hotkey works just fine. I'm concerned for two potential problems; I need to find a hotkey library or code that is known to work with a sandbox'd Apple Store app. Why is it working now when everything I have read says it shouldn't.

Xcode can't upload visionOS app CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon Validation Failed
I'm developing a visionOS app and was able to upload new builds without any problems to the App Store. A couple pf days ago I wanted to ship another update, but now I can't submit it to the App Store anymore, because the validation failed, something related to the App Icon seems to be the issue, the logs mention CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon. I have setup the App Icons here: The validation error I first got was this, mentioning a plist entry (that has not been necessary in the past) is missing. I've then added that plist entry, as described in the reference doc for CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon. My info.plist now includes this, following the mentioned docs: However, now I get a type missmatch error when validating — however the types are as described in the docs: What am I missing? Why even is this plist entry required now? Or is this a Bug? Help please
