I created a package using "File > New > Package" and now I want to add a new Asset Catalog to this package. With my package selected in the project navigator I select "File > New > File" but it creates a Swift file instead of showing the Template Selection dialog Ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/managing-assets-with-asset-catalogs#Create-a-new-asset-catalog

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.

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. However this framework is breaking the Xcode previews. Error: == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: [Remote] JITError: Runtime linking failure Additional Link Time Errors: Symbols not found: [ _OBJC_CLASS_$_SCSecureServicesFactory ] ================================== | [Remote] LLVMError | | LLVMError: LLVMError(description: "Failed to materialize symbols: { (static-Login, { __replacement_tag$1015 }) }") == VERSION INFO: Tools: 16C5032a OS: 23G93 PID: 38675 Model: MacBook Pro Arch: arm64e == ENVIRONMENT: openFiles = [ /Users/../Documents/GitHub/Packages/Login/Sources/Login/LoginView.swift ] wantsNewBuildSystem = true newBuildSystemAvailable = true activeScheme = Launch activeRunDestination = iPhone 16 Pro Max variant iphonesimulator arm64 workspaceArena = [x] buildArena = [x] buildableEntries = [ Login Login ] runMode = JIT Executor == SELECTED RUN DESTINATION: Simulator - iOS 18.2 | iphonesimulator | arm64 | iPhone 16 Pro Max | no proxy == EXECUTION MODE OVERRIDES: Workspace JIT mode user setting: true Falling back to Dynamic Replacement: false Based on the error, SCSecureServicesFactory is an objc file inside the XCFramework. Since this is a binary target, I could not add a swift setting module map flag to the XCFramework. Is there any workaround to get the previews working ? Or Am I blocked until the library is converted into swift ?

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

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?

DocC supports treating build warnings as errors using the --warnings-as-errors flag. Is there a way to pass this flag to xcodebuild docbuild command or do I need to use xcrun docc convert after generating the symbol graph?

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

Dear Apple Developer Forum! I'm in need of help regarding an issue that has to do with binaries. I'm building an iOS App that needs a fingerprint of its binaries, exclusively based on the source code written. A "reproducible" build, meaning that when I compile it on my machine and run checksum on it, the output (hash) will be the same, as if another device clones the project, compiles and checksums the values. The App depends on swift packages which depends on Swift Packages, which I've managed to compile to .o files, convert to .a files (static frameworks) and create xcframeworks, which the App depends on. They work great, once compiled, their checksum value does not change when App is compiled (unless source code of them is changed of course), but the Apps executable (checksummed inside the IPA) changes every time it's compiled. I'm guessing that perhaps the Xcode compiler injects a timestamp or other unique identifier in the binaries? Is there any way to have "reproducible" builds on iOS (Swift Xcode)? All input is greatly appreciated, Thank you very much, Kind regards Johan.

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.

Hi, I've got a Swift Framework with a bunch of Metal files. Currently users have to manually include a Metal Lib in their bundle provided separately, to use the Swift Package. First question; Is there a way to make a Metal Lib target in a Swift Package, and just include the .metal files? (without a binary asset) Second question; If not, Swift 5.3 has resource support, how would you recommend to bundle a Metal Lib in a Swift Package?

I am writing a SPM based project for MacOS. In this project? I need to access MacOS Keychain. I am write a swift test built by SPM testTarget(). I can see it generates a bundle ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectTests.xctest with an executable: % file ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64 This bundle file cannot be executed. How can I execute its tests? I tried with xcodebuild test-without-building -xctestrun ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest -destination 'platform=macOS' without any chance. Obviously the next question is can I 'simply' add entitlement to this bundle with codesign to fix my enttilement error. My error when running the test is A required entitlement isn't present.

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!

My project uses a local swift package of my own, which uses SwiftGenPlugin to generate image resources. I can archive the project locally, but Xcode Cloud doesn't work and reports an error: "SwiftGenPlugin" is disabled.

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.

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!

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

Hi! I wanted to use Lottie in my swiftpm app, but I've been running into errors and I'm not sure if it's possible. When I try to run the app, it crashes and I get errors saying that the library isn't loaded and the files aren't found (basically these: https://github.com/lottie-react-native/lottie-react-native/issues/373 , https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/issues/2233 ). But moving the framework file into the PackageFrameworks folder doesn't work, and also I'm getting the error that swiftpm cannot distribute packages containing binary frameworks and from what I understand that just isn't something that swiftpm can do. So I was wondering if anyone knows any workarounds to this, or if I should just ditch Lottie? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am encountering the following issue while working with app group preferences in my Safari web extension: Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x3034e7f80> (Domain: [MyAppGroup], User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd. I am trying to read/write shared preferences using UserDefaults with an App Group but keep running into this error. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone encountered this before? How can I properly configure my app group preferences to avoid this issue?

We are currently running a lightweight server within our iOS mobile app to pass a unique device ID via localhost for device-based restrictions. The setup works by binding a user's email to their device ID upon login, and later, when they attempt to log in via a browser, we retrieve this ID by making a request to http://localhost:8086/device-info. However, we're encountering an issue when making this request. Here’s the error message: Error fetching device info: TypeError { } r@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:27:166011 value@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:27:182883 @webkit-masked-url://hidden/:27:184904 We are making this request from an HTTPS website, and we suspect this could be related to mixed-content restrictions. Could you guide us on how to properly make localhost requests over HTTPS, especially in a production environment with the necessary security measures? Any insights or best practices on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
