I'm watching the session video "What's new in Xcode 26" and when I try out the new #Playground macro (in the context of a local package in my project) I see only this activity indicator for about 10-15 minutes: Eventually I do see this error: Despite the error, my local package does not import SwiftUI and has no dependencies other than Foundation. I checked the Xcode 26 release notes and I don't see this issue mentioned. A clean build of my project takes 55 seconds. Is it expected behavior that #Playground would require 10+ minutes to spin up? Is there anything I can to do make the new #Playground macro work correctly? Thank you.

Is there a way to share a SwiftUI App's @Observable model into a CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate ? Is there an incantation to go from the UIApplicationDelegate via @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor to the UISceneDelegate for CarPlay via a userInfo? I can't seem to figure it out. Otherwise I have to use a shared global, and I'd prefer not to have to do it this way. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello, I’m building a Swift-based SDK (using SwiftUI) that will be distributed as a single .xcframework, and consumed by a React Native application. The SDK has multiple internal module dependencies (e.g., Essentials, CoreModels, CoreRepository), each of which is currently implemented as a local Swift Package (SPM). When I attempt to archive the main SDK framework using xcodebuild archive with BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES, the archive process fails during SwiftEmitModule for these SPMs. I understand this likely relates to module stability requirements for .xcframework distribution. My key question: Is it mandatory to convert all Swift Packages (SPMs) into Xcode framework targets in order to successfully archive and bundle them into a distributable .xcframework? Or alternatively, is there a recommended approach to make Swift Packages archive-compatible for use in a compiled, closed-source SDK, without converting them into Xcode framework targets? Awaiting your guidance.

With Swift being brought to new places, is anyone working on interoperability with PHP? I'd love to replace much of my PHP and Javascript web code with Swift (and ideally SwiftUI for UI design). Are there any projects/people working in this space?

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

I would like to inquire about a concern related to the app review process. Specifically, I would like to understand if forcefully denying an application's execution on the iOS Simulator (for instance, by implementing a check in the code that prevents the app from running in a simulated environment) could negatively impact or delay the app’s approval during the App Store review process. This measure is intended solely for security and integrity reasons during development and distribution. The app functions normally on real devices, and all other guidelines and requirements outlined by Apple are being strictly followed. Could you please confirm whether such a restriction on the Simulator is acceptable, and if there are any best practices or recommendations from Apple regarding this? Thank you for your support, and I look forward to your guidance.

Hello. We've built our app with Xcode cloud until now. And we faced a issue after we changed some dependencies in SPM. the problems occur while resolving below dependencies https://github.com/naver/naveridlogin-sdk-ios-swift https://github.com/navermaps/SPM-NMapsMap with below message. xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies: failed downloading 'https://repository.map.naver.com/archive/pod/NMapsMap/3.21.0/NMapsMap.zip' which is required by binary target 'NMapsMapBinary': downloadError("A server with the specified hostname could not be found.") failed downloading 'https://repository.map.naver.com/archive/pod/NMapsGeometry/1.0.2/NMapsGeometry.zip' which is required by binary target 'NMapsGeometry': downloadError("A server with the specified hostname could not be found.") is there a way to handle this error by ourselves? we need your help. thank you.

I have a s hared library in C++ that was built with GNU Libtool, and I want to bundle it with my Swift app and call it from the app. How can I bundle it and call it?
