Xcode debugger stops at dyld after upgrading to Xcode 26
After upgrading to Xcode 26, started getting an issue where Xcode debugger is stopping at dyld`lldb_image_notifier Does not happen on device.

LLDB and environment variables in Xcode
Hey! I am writing type formatting scripts in Python for lldb, as described in https://lldb.llvm.org/use/variable.html#python-scripting. I'm trying to pass an environment variable to lldb from Xcode to determine the path to the scripts in the project root, so the project is not bound to some predetermined path. I am having trouble doing this in Xcode. What I have tried: lldbinit file Create a .lldbinit file in $(SRCROOT) with the following content: platform shell echo $SRCROOT. Set the path to the .lldbinit file in Edit Scheme... > Info > LLDB Init File ($(SRCROOT)/.lldbinit). Set the SRCROOT environment variable to $(SRCROOT) in Edit Scheme... > Arguments > Environment Variables. entry-point breakpoint Add a breakpoint to the entry-point of the application. Set the Automatically continue after evaluating actions option. Add the action platform shell $(SRCROOT) or platform shell $SRCROOT. Set the SRCROOT environment variable to $(SRCROOT) in Edit Scheme... > Arguments > Environment Variables. What I expect to happen: The first line of the debug console is a path pointing to $(SRCROOT) What actually happens: No path is output Is this functionality available in Xcode Version 26.0.1 (17A400)? Thanks in advance, Barnabas

Debugger breakpoints not hitting since updating to macOS 26.1
Hi, I have started facing an issue with Xcode since updating to macOS 26.1. The debugger is not stopping at breakpoints in Objective-C code, however breakpoints in Swift file are working fine. I am using Xcode 16.4. For breakpoints in Objective-C files I have started to get this message since the OS update - 'Xcode won't pause at this breakpoint because it has not been resolved.' I have already tried cleaning derived data and build folder. I do not want to upgrade to Xcode 26. Could someone help with the fix? Thanks

xCode 26.2 Debug exetubale ON crashes on ios 26.2 devices
Hi, I am running build on ios 26.2 device, connected with cable (not wifi) and it crashes because files are not loaded or something. But when i turn off Debug Exetuble, it works just fine. Also, tried to run on ios 18.2 device, with Debug executable On - everything is ok, and breakpoints work. My guess, App crashes on reading and loading Assets and others app files like certificates. XCode run logs shows: **"Too many file errors". ** sample.txt xcode_run_logs.txt Also, exectued image list on lldb console, could not attach here, if needed i can add it with some url here.

LLDB assertion failure when debugging Swift app
While debugging a Swift application in Xcode, LLDB crashes with an assertion failure related to LLDBMemoryReader and pointer authentication. The issue occurs during normal debugging (e.g. inspecting variables or stack frames), and causes the debugger to become unusable.

App freezes when running in Rosetta simulator on Xcode 26 (works on device and ARM simulator)
Hello, We are experiencing a recurring issue when running iOS apps in the Rosetta simulator on Xcode 26. Environment: Xcode: 26.0 macOS: 15.7.3 Simulator: Intel-based (Rosetta) simulators Languages: Both Swift and Objective-C Issue: When launching an app in a Rosetta simulator, the app frequently freezes or fails to run. In many cases, Xcode reports that the debugger has lost connection. Xcode error message: Lost connection to the debugger on “iPhone 12”. Domain: IDEDebugSessionErrorDomain Code: 22 Failure Reason: Message from debugger: lost connection Console log: assertion failed: GPR thread_set_state is unimplemented for NewThread (ThreadContextRegisterState.cpp:920 host_gpr_state_from_guest_state) Observed behavior: Rebuilding after fully quitting the simulator sometimes resolves the issue temporarily. Disabling Scheme > Run > Debug executable allows the app to run normally, but debugging (breakpoints, etc.) becomes unavailable. The issue does not occur: On real devices On ARM-based simulators When building with Xcode 16 using Rosetta Has anyone encountered this issue with Xcode 26 and Rosetta simulators? Is this a known bug, and are there any recommended workarounds besides disabling the debugger or restarting the simulator? Thank you in advance for any insights or guidance.
