Build plugin warnings not showing in issue navigator
With Xcode 26.5, I've switched from using SwiftLint in a "Run Script" phase to using the SwiftLintPlugins package and running it as a build plugin. This works fine on one Mac, in a small project, where the warnings from the build plugin show up in the issue navigator as expected. But on another Mac, in a large project, I can see the SwiftLint build plugin warnings in the build log but they don't appear in the Xcode issue navigator. Is there some Xcode setting that could influence this, or what else can I check?

In Beijing for overlap with WWDC - access limited?
I will be in Beijing on a tour overlapping with the last 3 days of WWDC. There are likely to be at least a couple of 1-1 labs I'd like to attend as well as group forum sessions. I suddenly had the horrified thought that the Great China Firewall may interfere with either of these. Does anyone know how likely this is? Does the Developer app work there? Will be in a reasonable hotel and have Vodafone roaming on my phone. thanks

Add Swift Package in Xcode
Hi, Overview I would like to add a Swift Package to my Xcode project. Problem In Xcode when I select Project > Package Dependencies and Press + button to add a dependency it keeps spinning and doesn't end Points to note: Xcode 26.5 (17F42) macOS 26.5 (25F71) This is a private GitHub repository I am able to clone the Swift Package URL on the command line. Xcode has the GitHub account I am able to push and pull code on that GitHub account using Xcode My failed attempt rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm plutil -remove IDESwiftPackageAdditionAssistantRecentlyUsedPackages ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist I have removed GitHub account in Xcode and added it again I am confused if I am missing something very obvious, any help on this is much appreciated. Questions Is there any workaround or way to fix this issue? Why does this take such a long time when I have a specific URL, either it needs to add it or return that the package is not found. Why is it searching?

Logon to Mac OS with Dev Account which is Account Holder
I'm a solo developer and owner of my companies account. I'm trying to sign on to my Mac so I can use my developer account to get a certificate for wallet use and to select the correct developer account for applications in Xcode. I'm am brand new to all this so apologize if I'm missing the simple solution. I'm not able to edit the roles of my developer account but being an Admin I should already have all the necessary access...I think. I get an error when trying to logon as a work account: Searching for the long error doesn't provide a solution in the forum or through search engines. AI says to check the roles.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’ve got a problem with the Xcode Build feature. Because when I would like to build / run my app, my iPhone won’t show up.

Thanks for the help 😁. additional Information: Xcode Version: 26.5 Mac: MacBook Air M3 · macOS 26.5 iPhone: iPhone 16 · iOS 26.5

Apple Developer Support emails are not being delivered
I’m experiencing an issue with Apple Developer Support communication. On the page Apple Developer Support Cases I can see updates and messages indicating that Apple Support specialists supposedly replied to my case. However, I never receive those emails in my inbox. The only emails that actually arrive to my Gmail account are automatic messages with the subject: “Thanks for submitting your support request” I checked: Spam folder Promotions/Social tabs Gmail filters Blocked addresses But there are still no replies from support specialists. Because of this, I cannot continue communication with support. Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is there a specific Apple domain/email address that should be whitelisted? Apple Support team, please contact me directly.

Zooming in Storyboards/XIBs for macOS App?
I've found several references for this functionality being removed, but no viable workaround. When I'm trying to fine tune a layout the constraint lines, boundary boxes, etc. get in the way and I can't see what I'm doing. For doing pixel-perfect layouts in a storyboard it gets really tedious. This borders on an accessibility issue. Does anyone know when or if this is ever coming? It works fine with iOS apps.

ScribeMe’s removal from App Store
My Apple Developer account was recently terminated, which resulted in the removal of ScribeMe from the App Store without further notice. This is not just about an app disappearing from a store. Thousands of blind and visually impaired users rely on ScribeMe every day for independence, education, and daily life. ScribeMe helps users understand photos, documents, presentations, charts, diagrams, unfamiliar environments, and more through AI-powered accessibility tools. For many users, it is not a convenience, it is a necessity. When accessibility apps are suddenly removed, the impact goes far beyond business. We are effectively taking away tools that help blind people study independently, access visual information, and participate more equally in education and society. Many users depended on this app daily, and its sudden removal has left people without an important accessibility tool they relied on. We respectfully ask for someone from Apple to manually review the situation and carefully examine why the account termination occurred. We made every effort to follow all App Store guidelines, and we are fully willing to cooperate with Apple and quickly fix or address any issue that may have caused this situation. Accessibility-focused apps deserve human review and consideration because of the real impact they have on people’s lives. Accessibility is not a luxury, it is a necessity. We hope accessibility remains at the center of these decisions.

How do I cancel my developer account
I have my primary apple account associated with email A and I created a separate email B for my app. I then created an apple developer account using email B and paid for the $99 subscription. Note that I enrolled in the developer program through the Apple Developer App on my phone which is signed into account A. Two months ago, I did not want my subscription to renew, so I tried visiting this link to can cancel it https://developer.apple.com/account#MembershipDetailsCard Unintuitively, this does not let me modify my membership participation, only contact details. I then tried canceling the subscriptions here by checking my subscriptions for both account A and account B https://account.apple.com/account/manage/section/subscriptions Unintuitively, I saw the developer subscription for the account associated with email A, not B, so I canceled it there. Today, I see the subscription as inactive and neither account A or B have an active developer subscription. As an added measure, I removed all saved billing information from account B so any subscription associated with that account shouldn't be able to charge me. Yesterday I received an email and credit card statement saying I was charged $99 for renewal. This seems to be a serious privacy and security issue given a. A nonexisting subscription on account B charged a credit card that account B should not have access to b. There is no indication whatsoever that account A and B are linked on the apple account page. If they are in fact linked since I enrolled in the developer program on a phone belonging to account A, it ought to be clearly shown on account A that this is the case since that is what I'm being billed for. c. What is the source of truth for apple subscriptions? Clearly not the subscriptions page owned by account A or account B in this case. I expect a full refund for this

"Unable to find module dependency" with custom PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME
Hi! Here is a brief introduction at first. I am developing a framework and our project has following structure: All frameworks are static ones. PublicAPI framework contains the only declarations that are visible to users, while ModuleX frameworks are internal modules. During build process we archive all targets and libtool all internal module binaries into PublicAPI one. This way we distribute our framework as a single xcframework package and hide all internal modules from users. Here is the problem part. All these frameworks exist in separate projects that have single static library target. I want to add new targets with different settings, say SWIFT_ACTIVE_COMPILATION_CONDITIONS or else. So project would look like this Also I would like both regular and extended targets to build frameworks with same module name, so that neither users (that use PublicAPI framework) nor I would have to change imports in my code. My idea was to set PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME in extended targets to the same value as in regular ones. But when I build PublicAPIExtended target I get an error Unable to find module dependency 'Module1' although derived data contains Module1Extended.framework with Module1 module inside. What did I do wrong? Is it possible to build project like this at all? And another thing - I also tried to build a scheme containing both PublicAPI and PublicAPIExtended targets and got different error even prior to build: error: Multiple commands produce '<ExtractAppIntentsMetadata Path(_str: "/Users/antonprotko/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/test-acncglphufkosyhjzbwrbzalsnlh/Build/Products/Debug") bar/Metadata.appintents>' note: Target 'bar copy' (project 'bar'): ExtractAppIntentsMetadata note: Target 'bar' (project 'bar'): ExtractAppIntentsMetadata Can I fix it somehow? Here is example project with similar targets - foo/foo_copy and bar/bar_copy share the same sources with different compilation conditions. bar targets depend on foo targets and building bar_copy fails with Unable to find module dependency: 'foo' https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cj5cIw8U0LJ5Xt9ZnhbKIo240kbrizLE/view?usp=sharing

Community-driven index site for Swift playgrounds
Hey everyone! I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on called Swiftgrounds: https://swiftgrounds.dev It’s a community-driven index for Swift Playground books and apps. This is my attempt to bring an option for creators to reach learners and share their content. Swiftgrounds supports the same JSON feed format Apple originally designed, so if you already have a feed set up, you can plug it in without making any changes. If you’re building Playground content, I’d love for you to give it a try and share your work there. Hope you like the project!

Apple Developer Enrollment Payment Problem
I'm trying to pay for Apple Developer Enrollment. I just get an email saying, "We'll respond within 2 days." Then a specialist contacted me a week ago, I attached my passport and then tried paying with a second card, since the first card wasn't processed due to the financial institution. The second card should work (other people with the same region as me - RU and the same card from same Financial Institution as me were able to pay); I tried yesterday and today. It says "duplicate order." Can anyone help me with this? This card should definitely work, but there aren't even any orders on it. How to know what happening and what can i do rn? Maybe problem with a processing Please, help. Trying since April 24 ^( Thank you.
