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

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 !!!!

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?

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

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.

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.

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

We're seeing a pretty big problem with 15.x hosts and using SSH to execute builds. Yet this works just fine in the terminal over VNC. We see similar limitations with SSH and Virtualization too.

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.

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)

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.

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

How can I get the macOS version from the Mac Catalyst version? We're building Info.plist files ourselves but we need a way to programatically (using shell scripts) derive the LSMinimumSystemVersion key needed from the iOS deployment target.

Hi, I have just updated my MacBook to Tahoe Beta 2, but now I cannot boot the iOS simulator. Where can I download the next Xcode beta? The Application download page is still showing the Xcode beta 1 build. Cheers, Jeff

This week I update from Xcode 16.0 to Xcode 16.4. Today I realized, that the Menu item "New Group without Folder" does no more appear, when I press the option key. I tried to find an answer with DuckDuch Go and Chat GPT, but without success. Can anyone help me, how to fix that issue? Thanks a lot.

We have a .ipa file that we need to side load on iPhone via USB connected to a MAC. IPA file will be on MAC. We can't use enterprise license. We have a business use case where we need to side load the app. Any way to do that or can be reach apple support for this? Please help. Note: The iPhones attached will not have the Apple ID logged in. There are companies who are side loading the app for business purpose on the customers phone.

When the Icon Composer file is imported into the project folder, and after building, there is a warning that says: Failed to parse icontool JSON output. Parts of the warnings show this: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found \211PNG ^ Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found \211PNG ^ Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found \211PNG ^ /* com.apple.actool.notices */ warning: Failed to parse icontool JSON output. Underlying Errors: Description: The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. Failure Reason: The data is not in the correct format. Debug Description: Garbage at end around line 6, column 0. /* com.apple.actool.compilation-results */ I have created the icon with png files in each layer group in icon composer. However the project is able to compile, and running shows the correct icon. What is the issue with this?

Hi everyone, I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program nearly two months ago. Initially, I had issues using both the website and the Developer app on Mac/iPhone to complete the process. After contacting Apple Developer Support, I was told that they don't accept EU residence permits through the automatic system, only national ID cards or a driver’s license, which I don’t have, as a few years ago I relocated from a 3rd world non-EU country. But they said this can be reviewed manually. Eventually, Apple Support provided me with a link to upload my passport and residence permit photos. I submitted them right away, but it’s now been 39 days with no progress. I followed up multiple times.. after 10 days, 3 weeks, and again just recently, and each time I’m told my documents are still under review, with no ETA or further details. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there anything else I can do to move this forward, or is it just a matter of waiting indefinitely? Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.
