[SwiftUI][DragDrop][iPadOS] Drop into TabView Sidebar Tab not triggering. How to debug?
Are there tools to inspect why a drag-and-drop drop is not triggering in a SwiftUI app? I've declared .draggable on the dragging view, and .dropDestination on the receiving TabContent Tab view. This combination of modifiers is working on a smaller demo app that I have, but not on my more complex one. Is there a means to debug this in SwiftUI? I'd like to see if the drag-and-drop pasteboard actually has what I think it should have on it. Notably: "TabContent" has a far more restricted list of modifiers that can be used on it.

error: exportArchive No profiles for 'com.nawctsd.riotpad' were found
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.

Questions about macOS App Store update package generation and optimization
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.

Do you equalize your prices based on purchasing power of different countries?
I get a lot of downloads from outside USA but almost no conversion (subscription/IAP) from those countries. Apple App Store does the price conversion based on currency conversion and VAT but it does not take into account that $10 in India or Argentina is a much bigger portion of ones income compared to a US person. Converting all these prices (175 of them) manually is very cumbersome for each subscription tier and for each region.

XCode reverts CoreData's .xccurrentversion
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?

Do we still need to comply with SB2420 on Jan 1st for distributing apps in Texas ?
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.

Cloud signing permission error: no access to cloud-managed distribution certificates (Admin role)
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?

Paid Apps Agreement stuck in "Pending User Info" while status is Active
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?

Is Xcode's predictive code completion model has some censoring?
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)

Attributes inspector in Xcode 26
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.
