Active Compilation Conditions in Packages
The flags like #if DEBUG ... endif are dependent on the Active Compilation Conditions. So if they say DEBUG the enclosed code block will be executed, otherwise not. Now I have the phenomenon that a #DEBUG block in a Package does not evaluate these conditions. It rather depends on the name of the configuration used to build. So if I build my app with Active Compilation Condition set to DEBUG, but the configuration name is something like App-Release, the DEBUG block in my Package is not added/executed. The ones which are directly in the project are added. Vice versa if the Compilation Condition say RELEASE but the configuration is called App-Debug the blocks in the Package are added to the compilation, but the ones in the project itself are not It suffices that the config name contains the word Debug for this to happen. E.g. the configuration App-Release-Debug (I know that this would be stupid, but it is for demonstrating purposes) will cause the Packages to include the DEBUG blocks. This happens no matter what you set in the Build Settings of the project and/or target. The Packages are added via GitHub/GitLab Source Control with SPM. Any ideas why this behaves like it does? It doesn't seem like it should...

Integrating binary inside Framework via SPM
So I will summary an issue one of our clients has asked us on GitHub: https://github.com/pendo-io/pendo-mobile-sdk/issues/233 Project that is a custom framework that uses different SPM packages (one of them is Binary package), we have our main logic inside that framework and we have different targets that use this framework, everything works on the simulator, but running the app on the actual device provokes a crash saying "Binary framework was not found". We have like 20 other SPM packages that work fine, this is the first one we have an issue with. Please note I understand that SPM will not copy paste the Binary for the magic framework as it does for the apps so I suggested to embed it manually. So my question is what the best(easy) way to do it. Please refer to the following issue for more details: https://github.com/pendo-io/pendo-mobile-sdk/issues/233

Xcode 16 Build & Archive Error - SPM
Since upgrading from Xcode 15 to 16, we have been experiencing a build error during compilation. Building on Xcode 15 still works with no issues. The error happens only on the first build after a clean. Subsequent builds succeed. This is an issue because our CI process archives the project from a clean slate, and this causes it to fail every time. I will attempt to describe the issue and include information I believe is relevant in this document. The error occurs on this import line within an Objective-C file during the Scan Dependencies step of compiling. This line imports our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "Swift2Objc.h". Our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file is simply wrapping the project’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "KWISwift.h". The error is specific to the import of the OfflineServices Swift Package. Specifically, the OfflineServices-Swift.h file - the Swift Package’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging file. Module JRE not found - the exact error (Also included as text on the bottom of the post) JRE is a third-party library provided to us as an xcframework. It is placed directly into our Swift Package as a binary target. The xcframework itself is composed of .a file and a Headers folder which includes header files and a module.modulemap. The module.modulemap file looks like this.

Issue using RealmSwift in a framework versus using it in an app
If I install RealmSwift into an ios app using SPM, I have no problems. However if I install it into an ios framework, then when building there is this error: error: missing required modules: 'Realm.Private', 'Realm', 'Realm.Swift' I have discovered that if I change the import statement from: import RealmSwift to private import RealmSwift then doing that makes this build error goes away (but doing that isn't a feasible workaround as I would like to publicly export classes stored in Realm from the framework). There's no point in posting issues with Realm on their support board as its being deprecated and its tumble weeds on their forum. But I would be very interested in hearing from the Apple expects explanation or speculation on: why is importing the same framework via SPM into a framework xcode project resulting in different behavior then when importing it into an app? why would changing import to private import make the build error go away? TIA

security policy does not allow @ path expansion
I’ve been working on a Catalyst version of my iOS apps. Finally everything is working apart from the custom intents the user user to configure the widgets. The config UI loads: And changing settings at this level works. But it can’t load the options for the other settings: “No options were provided for this parameter” I see this crash in the intent: Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing Library not loaded: @rpath/CocoaLumberjack.framework/Versions/A/CocoaLumberjack Referenced from: <E1BF4CC5-4181-3272-828C-86B1CD1A66BF> /Applications/my.app/Contents/PlugIns/Intents.appex/Contents/MacOS/Intents Reason: , (security policy does not allow @ path expansion) (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace) I have added the Hardened Runtime Capability to the Main App Target, the Widget Target and the Intents Target. I also allowed “Disable Library Validation” just in case. What am I missing?

progress view does not work
I have an app that run Monte Carlo simulations. I run thousands of simulations in the app and a simulation runs can take on the order of 30 seconds to a minute to complete. I would like to have a progress view that tracks the number of simulation runs. How can I implement this in swiftui?

Error Missing required module 'RxCocoaRuntime' in xcframeworks
Hi. I have a xcframework that has a dependency on 'RxSwift' and 'RxCocoa'. I deployed it using SPM by embedding it in a Swift Package. However when I import swift package into another project, I keep getting the following error: "Missing required module 'RxCocoaRuntime" How can I fix this? Below are the steps to reproduce the error. Steps Create Xcode proejct, make a dependency on 'RxSwift' and 'RxCocoa' (no matter doing it through tuist or cocoapods) Create XCFramework from that proejct. (I used commands below) xcodebuild archive \ -workspace SimpleFramework.xcworkspace \ -scheme "SimpleFramework" \ -destination "generic/platform=iOS" \ -archivePath "./SimpleFramework-iphoneos.xcarchive" \ -sdk iphoneos \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild archive \ -workspace SimpleFramework.xcworkspace \ -scheme "SimpleFramework" \ -archivePath "./SimpleFramework-iphonesimulator.xcarchive" \ -sdk "iphonesimulator" \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild -create-xcframework \ -framework "./SimpleFramework-iphoneos.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/SimpleFramework.framework" \ -framework "./SimpleFramework-iphonesimulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/SimpleFramework.framework" \ -output "./SimpleFramework.xcframework" Embed in Swift Package, and deploy. // swift-tools-version: 6.0 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "SimplePackage", platforms: [.iOS(.v16)], products: [ .library( name: "SimplePackage", targets: ["SimplePackage"]), ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift", from: "6.8.0") ], targets: [ .binaryTarget( name: "SimpleFramework", path: "Sources/SimpleFramework.xcframework" ), .target( name: "SimplePackage", dependencies: [ "SimpleFramework", "RxSwift", .product(name: "RxCocoa", package: "RxSwift") ] ) ] ) Download Swift Package in another project and import module. I resolved this by removing dependencies from the Swift Package, downloading package in another project, and fetching dependencies by cocoapods. Thist works, but I don't want to use another dependency manager while using SPM. Development Environment CPU : Apple M4 Max MacOS : Sequoia 15.3 Xcode : 16.2

can't get Xcode not to build x86_64 for Swift Packages
I'm trying to improve my build time on macOS by not building for x86_64. I've got the following settings: This gets Xcode not to build x86_64 for my app, but not all the package dependencies. I've updated most of the packages to swift-tools-version: 6.0 but FlatBuffers is still on 5.8 and .macOS(.v10_14). GPT claims: If your deployment target is set to macOS 10.15 or earlier, Xcode may force x86_64 support for compatibility reasons. But Xcode is building x86_64 for ALL my packages, even the ones that don't depend on FlatBuffers. When I open a package in Xcode that depends on FlatBuffers, then it builds arm only, so that may be a red herring. Not sure what else to try.

Swift Playgrounds 4.6 removes support for libraries?
I had several library projects that were working in Swift Playgrounds < 4.6 but I get several duplicate compilation errors and previews will not build in Swift Playgrounds > 4.6. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Example project: This project builds and runs fine under Swift Playgrounds 4.5.1 however it will not run complaining multiple commands produce generated output files under Swift Playgrounds 4.6.1, 4.6.2, and 4.6.3. https://github.com/kudit/Compatibility Download this repository and add the extension ".swiftpm" to the folder and double click to open in Swift Playgrounds. If running on earlier Swift Playgrounds you can see there are no errors and previews work great (on both macOS and iPadOS versions of Swift Playgrounds 4.5.x). However, on Swift Playgrounds 4.6.x, previews will not display. Are embedded libraries not support anymore? This would be very disappointing. I posted this as a Feedback weeks ago with no response: FB16509699

Use native Swift API for HTTP request with auth proxy
I'm simply trying to use a proxy to route a http request in Swift. I've tried using a URLSession Delegate but that results in the same issue with the iOS menu. proxy format: host:port:username:password When I run the code below I am prompted with a menu to add credentials for the proxy. I closed this menu inside my app and tried the function below again and it worked without giving me the menu a second time. However even though the function works without throwing any errors, it does NOT use the proxies to route the request. I've spent days on this and the only solution I found was using a NWConnection but this is super low level and now I need a shared session to manage cookies. If you want to see the NWConnection solution I made its here func averageProxyGroupSpeed(proxies: [String], completion: @escaping (Int, String) -> Void) { let numProxies = proxies.count if numProxies == 0 { completion(0, "No proxies") return } var totalTime: Int64 = 0 var successCount = 0 let group = DispatchGroup() let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "proxyQueue", attributes: .concurrent) let lock = NSLock() let shuffledProxies = proxies.shuffled() let selectedProxies = Array(shuffledProxies.prefix(25)) for proxy in selectedProxies { group.enter() queue.async { let proxyDetails = proxy.split(separator: ":").map(String.init) guard proxyDetails.count == 4, let port = Int(proxyDetails[1]), let url = URL(string: "http://httpbin.org/get") else { completion(0, "Invalid proxy format") group.leave() return } var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.timeoutInterval = 15 let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default configuration.connectionProxyDictionary = [ AnyHashable("HTTPEnable"): true, AnyHashable("HTTPProxy"): proxyDetails[0], AnyHashable("HTTPPort"): port, AnyHashable("HTTPSEnable"): false, AnyHashable("HTTPUser"): proxyDetails[2], AnyHashable("HTTPPassword"): proxyDetails[3] ] let session = URLSession(configuration: configuration) let start = Date() let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { _, _, error in defer { group.leave() } if let error = error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { let duration = Date().timeIntervalSince(start) * 1000 lock.lock() totalTime += Int64(duration) successCount += 1 lock.unlock() } } task.resume() } } group.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main) { if successCount == 0 { completion(0, "Proxies Failed") } else { let averageTime = Int(Double(totalTime) / Double(successCount)) completion(averageTime, "") } } } Delegate example class ProxySessionDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDelegate { let username: String let password: String init(username: String, password: String) { self.username = username self.password = password } func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, task: URLSessionTask, didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: @escaping (URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Void) { if challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod == NSURLAuthenticationMethodHTTPBasic { let credential = URLCredential(user: self.username, password: self.password, persistence: .forSession) completionHandler(.useCredential, credential) } else { completionHandler(.performDefaultHandling, nil) } } }

Issue with Module Import and Archiving a Mixed Swift/C Library Using Swift Package Manager
Hello everyone, I’m encountering an issue when trying to build and archive my library BleeckerCodesLib using Swift Package Manager. My project is structured with two targets: CBleeckerLib: A C target that contains my image processing code (C source files and public headers). BleeckerCodesLib: A Swift target that depends on CBleeckerLib and performs an import CBleeckerLib. Below is the relevant portion of my Package.swift: // swift-tools-version:5.7 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "BleeckerCodesLib", platforms: [.iOS(.v16)], products: [ .library(name: "BleeckerCodesLib", targets: ["BleeckerCodesLib"]) ], targets: [ .target( name: "CBleeckerLib", publicHeadersPath: "include" ), .target( name: "BleeckerCodesLib", dependencies: ["CBleeckerLib"] ) ] ) Directory Structure My project directory looks like this: BleeckerCodesLib/ ├── BleeckerCodesLib.xcodeproj/ │ └── xcuserdata/ │ └── robertopitarch.xcuserdatad/ │ └── xcschemes/ │ └── xcschememanagement.plist ├── BleeckerCodesLib.h ├── Package.swift └── Sources/ ├── CBleeckerLib/ │ ├── bleecker-lib.c │ └── include/ │ ├── bleecker-lib.h │ └── CBleeckerLib.h └── BleeckerCodesLib/ ├── UIImage+Extensions.swift ├── ImageProcessingUtility.swift ├── APIManager.swift ├── BleeckerCodesLib.swift ├── CameraView.swift ├── RealTimeCameraView.swift └── BleeckerCameraWrapper.swift Code Example In my Swift code (for example, in BleeckerCodesLib.swift), I import the C module as follows: import SwiftUI import UIKit import CBleeckerLib // Import the C module public struct BleeckerCodes { public struct DetectedCode { public let code: String public let corners: [CGPoint] public init(code: String, corners: [CGPoint]) { self.code = code self.corners = corners } } // Initialization function public static func initializeLibrary() -> String { bleecker_init() // Call the C module function return "BleeckerCodesLibrary initialized!" } // ... other functions } The Problem When I try to compile or archive the project using commands such as: xcodebuild archive -project BleeckerCodesLib.xcodeproj -scheme BleeckerCodesLib -destination "generic/platform=iOS" -archivePath "archives/BleeckerCodesLib" I receive the error: "no such module 'CBleeckerLib'" Any assistance or step-by-step guidance on resolving this integration issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Swiftdata - reset the database from archived files with swiftui without a app restart
HI, swiftdata is new to me and any help would be appreciated. In my swiftui app I have a functionality that reinstates the database from an archive. I first move the three database files (database.store datebase.store-wal and database.store-shm) to a new name (.tmp added for backup incase) and then copy the Archived three files to the same location. the move creates the following errors: " BUG IN CLIENT OF libsqlite3.dylib: database integrity compromised by API violation: vnode renamed while in use: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/499A6802-02E5-4547-83C4-88389AEA50F5/Library/Application Support/database.store.tmp invalidated open fd: 4 (0x20)" I get the same message in console for all three files. then I reinitialise the model container and get no errors as my code below .... let schema = Schema([....my different models are here]) let config = ModelConfiguration("database", schema: schema) do { // Recreate the container with the same store URL let container = try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: config) print("ModelContainer reinitialized successfully!") } catch { print("Failed to reinitialize ModelContainer: (error)") } } I get the success message but when I leave the view (backup-restore view) to the main view I get: CoreData: error: (6922) I/O error for database at /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/499A6802-02E5-4547-83C4-88389AEA50F5/Library/Application Support/database.store.

Above Xcode16 operation project, in the project use AVPictureInPictureController opportunities (PIP) function open system blackout
I found that when the development tool above Xcode16 ran my app, I opened the suspended inscription function, and then opened the system camera, the content in the suspended window would not be displayed, and the suspended window would have a black screen. However, this phenomenon does not appear on Xcode15.4 development tools, it is the same code, I do not know why

SwiftUI @Observable Causes Extra Initializations When Using Reference Type Properties
I've encountered an issue where using @Observable in SwiftUI causes extra initializations and deinitializations when a reference type is included as a property inside a struct. Specifically, when I include a reference type (a simple class Empty {}) inside a struct (Test), DetailsViewModel is initialized and deinitialized twice instead of once. If I remove the reference type, the behavior is correct. This issue does not occur when using @StateObject instead of @Observable. Additionally, I've submitted a feedback report: FB16631081. Steps to Reproduce Run the provided SwiftUI sample code (tested on iOS 18.2 & iOS 18.3 using Xcode 16.2). Observe the console logs when navigating to DetailsView. Comment out var empty = Empty() in the Test struct. Run again and compare console logs. Change @Observable in DetailsViewModel to @StateObject and observe that the issue no longer occurs. Expected Behavior The DetailsViewModel should initialize once and deinitialize once, regardless of whether Test contains a reference type. Actual Behavior With var empty = Empty() present, DetailsViewModel initializes and deinitializes twice. However, if the reference type is removed, or when using @StateObject, the behavior is correct (one initialization, one deinitialization). Code Sample import SwiftUI enum Route { case details } @MainActor @Observable final class NavigationManager { var path = NavigationPath() } struct ContentView: View { @State private var navigationManager = NavigationManager() var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $navigationManager.path) { HomeView() .environment(navigationManager) } } } final class Empty { } struct Test { var empty = Empty() // Comment this out to make it work } struct HomeView: View { private let test = Test() @Environment(NavigationManager.self) private var navigationManager var body: some View { Form { Button("Go To Details View") { navigationManager.path.append(Route.details) } } .navigationTitle("Home View") .navigationDestination(for: Route.self) { route in switch route { case .details: DetailsView() .environment(navigationManager) } } } } @MainActor @Observable final class DetailsViewModel { var fullScreenItem: Item? init() { print("DetailsViewModel Init") } deinit { print("DetailsViewModel Deinit") } } struct Item: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let value: Int } struct DetailsView: View { @State private var viewModel = DetailsViewModel() @Environment(NavigationManager.self) private var navigationManager var body: some View { ZStack { Color.green Button("Show Full Screen Cover") { viewModel.fullScreenItem = .init(value: 4) } } .navigationTitle("Details View") .fullScreenCover(item: $viewModel.fullScreenItem) { item in NavigationStack { FullScreenView(item: item) .navigationTitle("Full Screen Item: \(item.value)") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .cancellationAction) { Button("Cancel") { withAnimation(completionCriteria: .logicallyComplete) { viewModel.fullScreenItem = nil } completion: { var transaction = Transaction() transaction.disablesAnimations = true withTransaction(transaction) { navigationManager.path.removeLast() } } } } } } } } } struct FullScreenView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss let item: Item var body: some View { ZStack { Color.red Text("Full Screen View \(item.value)") .navigationTitle("Full Screen View") } } } Console Output With var empty = Empty() in Test DetailsViewModel Init DetailsViewModel Init DetailsViewModel Deinit DetailsViewModel Deinit Without var empty = Empty() in Test DetailsViewModel Init DetailsViewModel Deinit Using @StateObject Instead of @Observable DetailsViewModel Init DetailsViewModel Deinit Additional Notes This issue occurs only when using @Observable. Switching to @StateObject prevents it. This behavior suggests a possible issue with how SwiftUI handles reference-type properties inside structs when using @Observable. Using a struct-only approach (removing Empty class) avoids the issue, but that’s not always a practical solution. Questions for Discussion Is this expected behavior with @Observable? Could this be an unintended side effect of SwiftUI’s state management? Are there any recommended workarounds apart from switching to @StateObject? Would love to hear if anyone else has run into this or if Apple has provided any guidance!

SwiftUI Preview Runtime linking failure
Swift Package: I have an old objc library, that is added as XCFramework to swift package as a binary target. targets: [ .target( name: "CoreServices", dependencies: ["OldContainer"], path: "CoreServices" ), .binaryTarget( name: "OldContainer", path: "Frameworks/OldContainer.xcframework" ), ] This serves the purpose, it builds fine and able to run on simulator.

HealthKit: Seeking Guidance on Continuous, Near Real-Time Heart Rate Data Conitnously in IOS Application
Dear Apple Developer Support, I am writing to request assistance with an ongoing issue I'm encountering while developing an iOS application that utilizes HealthKit to fetch heart rate data. My goal is to display near real-time heart rate updates continuously same as displaying in the Apple Watch , I want to show in the iPhone Mobile Application for fitness related. I have implemented the following approaches: HKSampleQuery with a Timer: I've set up a timer to periodically fetch the latest heart rate data. Despite these efforts, I'm consistently facing the following problems: Delayed Updates: The heart rate data displayed in the app often doesn't reflect the current heart rate being measured by the Apple Watch. There seems to be a significant synchronization delay. Inconsistent Background Updates: Background updates, even with background app refresh enabled, are not reliable. The app often only updates when brought to the foreground or after being killed and relaunched. Entitlements: The com.apple.developer.healthkit.background-delivery entitlement error is missing. I have thoroughly reviewed Apple's HealthKit documentation, implemented best practices for HealthKit integration, and verified that all necessary permissions are properly configured. I understand that HealthKit may not be designed for true real-time data, but the current level of delay and inconsistency is making it difficult to provide a useful user experience. Could you please provide guidance on whether achieving near real-time heart rate updates continuously in an iOS app using HealthKit is possible? If so, what are the recommended strategies and best practices to overcome these limitations? I have also tested the application on physical devices with Apple Watch, enabled background app refresh, granted permissions, and referred to HealthKit documentation. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you can offer to help resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Venu Madhav
