How to Trigger Permission Dialogue for Accessing the User's Desktop in macOS?
In my app I need to have access to the users desktop, and I would like to implement the standard dialogue for the user to give permission for this access at launch. I do not want to use the NSOpenPanel() for the user to select the desktop, as I dont think that is an elegant solution. However I am having issues implementing this. I use the following code to be granted access to the Desktop URL: let accessGranted = desktopURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() However no dialogue box appears and the call returns false I have also included "Desktop Usage Description" in my plist. Here is my code @State var message:String = "Good Luck!" var body: some View { VStack { Button("Get Desktop files") { accessDesktopWithPermission() } Text(message) } .padding() } //: –—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–— :// func accessDesktopWithPermission(){ guard let desktopURL = getDesktopURL() else{ return } let accessGranted = desktopURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() if accessGranted{ if let content = try? FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: desktopURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil ){ message = "Found \(content.count) on Desktop" } else{ message = "issue loading file from desktop" } } else{ message = "Access denied to:\(desktopURL )" } } obviously I have setup something incorrectly so I have also attached my code if anyone is interested to take a look.

dual predicate search using CoreData
I have a very simple CoreData model that has 1 entity and 2 attributes. This code works fine: .onChange(of: searchText) { _, text in evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil :NSPredicate(format: "eventName CONTAINS %@ " , text ) but I'd like to also search with the same text string for my second attribute (which is a Date). I believe an OR is appropriate for two conditions (find either one). See attempted code below: evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil : NSPredicate(format: "(eventName CONTAINS %@) OR (dueDate CONTAINS %i) " , text ) This crashes immediately %@ does the same. Is there a way to accomplish this? How is SwiftUI not an option below?

SwiftUI View cannot conform custom Equatable protocol in Swift 6.
In Swift 6, stricter concurrency rules can lead to challenges when making SwiftUI views conform to Equatable. Specifically, the == operator required for Equatable must be nonisolated, which means it cannot access @MainActor-isolated properties. This creates an error when trying to compare views with such properties: Error Example: struct MyView: View, Equatable { let title: String let count: Int static func ==(lhs: MyView, rhs: MyView) -> Bool { // Accessing `title` here would trigger an error due to actor isolation. return lhs.count == rhs.count } var body: some View { Text(title) } } Error Message: Main actor-isolated operator function '==' cannot be used to satisfy nonisolated protocol requirement; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode. Any suggestions? Thanks FB: FB15753655 (SwiftUI View cannot conform custom Equatable protocol in Swift 6.)

Question about using @Previewable
This is an issue that occurred while using SwiftUI. Cannot find '$state' in scope The other view finds properties normally. May I know why the error is occurring? The following code is the full text of the code that causes problems. import SwiftUI @Observable class HomeState { var title: String = "Home" } struct HomeView: View { @Binding var state: HomeState var body: some View { Text(state.title) } } #Preview { @Previewable @State var state: HomeState = .init() HomeView(state: $state) /// Error: Cannot find '$state' in scope } The same error occurs when using the String type rather than the object. What did I do wrong?

Crash during batch deletion merge when positive fractional decimals are stored and used in a derived attribute
I am experiencing a crash when performing a batch delete and merging changes on a Core Data store that uses NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. The crash appears to be triggered when positive fractional Decimal values are stored in a TransactionSplit entity (those values are aggregated via a derived attribute in the AccountTransaction entity). If I store whole numbers or negative fractional decimals, deletion seems to work correctly. I suspect that the issue is related to the internal representation of positive fractional decimals in conjunction with a derived attribute. Data Model Setup: Account (1:N relationship → AccountTransaction) AccountTransaction (1:N relationship → TransactionSplit), which contains a derived attribute (e.g., “splits.amount.@sum”) that computes the sum over the “amount” attribute on its related TransactionSplit objects. TransactionSplit, which contains a stored Decimal attribute named “amount” (of type Decimal/NSDecimalNumber). Steps to Reproduce: Insert sample data where each TransactionSplit’s “amount” is set to a positive fractional value (e.g., 1000.01), by using code similar to: func createSampleData() { // Execute all creation on the context’s queue. let checkingAccount = Account(context: context) checkingAccount.id = UUID() checkingAccount.name = "Main Checking" let randomTransactionCount = 1000 for _ in 0..<randomTransactionCount { let transaction = AccountTransaction(context: context) transaction.id = UUID() transaction.account = checkingAccount let randomValue = Double.random(in: 5...5000) let decimalValue = NSDecimalNumber(value: randomValue) let split1 = TransactionSplit(context: context) split1.id = UUID() split1.amount = decimalValue split1.transaction = transaction let split2 = TransactionSplit(context: context) split2.id = UUID() split2.amount = decimalValue split2.transaction = transaction } save() } The AccountTransaction’s derived attribute automatically aggregates the sum of its related TransactionSplit amounts. Perform a batch deletion using NSBatchDeleteRequest (with resultType set to .resultTypeObjectIDs) on your entities and merge the changes back into your main context: private func delete(_ fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>) { let batchDeleteRequest = NSBatchDeleteRequest(fetchRequest: fetchRequest) batchDeleteRequest.resultType = .resultTypeObjectIDs // ⚠️ When performing a batch delete we need to make sure we read the result back // then merge all the changes from that result back into our live view context // so that the two stay in sync. if let delete = try? context.execute(batchDeleteRequest) as? NSBatchDeleteResult { let changes = [NSDeletedObjectsKey: delete.result as? [NSManagedObjectID] ?? []] NSManagedObjectContext.mergeChanges(fromRemoteContextSave: changes, into: [context]) } } Save the context after deletion.

Changing the live activity without push notification
I am trying to implement "Live activity" to my app. I am following the Apple docs. Link: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/activitykit/displaying-live-data-with-live-activities Example code: struct LockScreenLiveActivityView: View { let context: ActivityViewContext<PizzaDeliveryAttributes> var body: some View { VStack { Spacer() Text("\(context.state.driverName) is on their way with your pizza!") Spacer() HStack { Spacer() Label { Text("\(context.attributes.numberOfPizzas) Pizzas") } icon: { Image(systemName: "bag") .foregroundColor(.indigo) } .font(.title2) Spacer() Label { Text(timerInterval: context.state.deliveryTimer, countsDown: true) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .frame(width: 50) .monospacedDigit() } icon: { Image(systemName: "timer") .foregroundColor(.indigo) } .font(.title2) Spacer() } Spacer() } .activitySystemActionForegroundColor(.indigo) .activityBackgroundTint(.cyan) } } Actually, the code is pretty straightforward. We can use the timerInterval for count-down animation. But when the timer ends, I want to update the Live Activity view. If the user re-opens the app, I can update it, but what happens if the user doesn't open the app? Is there a way to update the live activity without using push notifications?

How to implement thread-safe property wrapper notifications across different contexts in Swift?
I’m trying to create a property wrapper that that can manage shared state across any context, which can get notified if changes happen from somewhere else. I'm using mutex, and getting and setting values works great. However, I can't find a way to create an observer pattern that the property wrappers can use. The problem is that I can’t trigger a notification from a different thread/context, and have that notification get called on the correct thread of the parent object that the property wrapper is used within. I would like the property wrapper to work from anywhere: a SwiftUI view, an actor, or from a class that is created in the background. The notification preferably would get called synchronously if triggered from the same thread or actor, or otherwise asynchronously. I don’t have to worry about race conditions from the notification because the state only needs to reach eventuall consistency. Here's the simplified pseudo code of what I'm trying to accomplish: // A single source of truth storage container. final class MemoryShared<Value>: Sendable { let state = Mutex<Value>(0) func withLock(_ action: (inout Value) -> Void) { state.withLock(action) notifyObservers() } func get() -> Value func notifyObservers() func addObserver() } // Some shared state used across the app static let globalCount = MemoryShared<Int>(0) // A property wrapper to access the shared state and receive changes @propertyWrapper struct SharedState<Value> { public var wrappedValue: T { get { state.get() } nonmutating set { // Can't set directly } } var publisher: Publisher {} init(state: MemoryShared) { // ... } } // I'd like to use it in multiple places: @Observable class MyObservable { @SharedState(globalCount) var count: Int } actor MyBackgroundActor { @SharedState(globalCount) var count: Int } @MainActor struct MyView: View { @SharedState(globalCount) var count: Int } What I’ve Tried All of the examples below are using the property wrapper within a @MainActor class. However the same issue happens no matter what context I use the wrapper in: The notification callback is never called on the context the property wrapper was created with. I’ve tried using @isolated(any) to capture the context of the wrapper and save it to be called within the state in with unchecked sendable, which doesn’t work: final class MemoryShared<Value: Sendable>: Sendable { // Stores the callback for later. public func subscribe(callback: @escaping @isolated(any) (Value) -> Void) -> Subscription } @propertyWrapper struct SharedState<Value> { init(state: MemoryShared<Value>) { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works! state.subscribe { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails self.publisher.send() } } } I’ve tried capturing the isolation within a task with AsyncStream. This actually compiles with no sendable issues, but still fails: @propertyWrapper struct SharedState<Value> { init(isolation: isolated (any Actor)? = #isolation, state: MemoryShared<Value>) { let (taskStream, continuation) = AsyncStream<Value>.makeStream() // The shared state sends new values to the continuation. subscription = state.subscribe(continuation: continuation) MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works! let task = Task { _ = isolation for await value in taskStream { _ = isolation MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails } } } } I’ve tried using multiple combine subjects and publishers: final class MemoryShared<Value: Sendable>: Sendable { let subject: PassthroughSubject<T, Never> // ... var publisher: Publisher {} // ... } @propertyWrapper final class SharedState<Value> { var localSubject: Subject init(state: MemoryShared<Value>) { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works! handle = localSubject.sink { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails } stateHandle = state.publisher.subscribe(localSubject) } } I’ve also tried: Using NotificationCenter Making the property wrapper a class Using NSKeyValueObserving Using a box class that is stored within the wrapper. Using @_inheritActorContext. All of these don’t work, because the event is never called from the thread the property wrapper resides in. Is it possible at all to create an observation system that notifies the observer from the same context as where the observer was created? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could they be caused by anything other than concurrent access from multiple threads (which I'm quite sure is not the case here, as I only access these arrays from the main thread)?

Swift 6 Concurrency errors with ModelActor, or Core Data actors
In my app, I've been using ModelActors in SwiftData, and using actors with a custom executor in Core Data to create concurrency safe services. I have multiple actor services that relate to different data model components or features, each that have their own internally managed state (DocumentService, ImportService, etc). The problem I've ran into, is that I need to be able to use multiple of these services within another service, and those services need to share the same context. Swift 6 doesn't allow passing contexts across actors. The specific problem I have is that I need a master service that makes multiple unrelated changes without saving them to the main context until approved by the user. I've tried to find a solution in SwiftData and Core Data, but both have the same problem which is contexts are not sendable. Read the comments in the code to see the issue: /// This actor does multiple things without saving, until committed in SwiftData. @ModelActor actor DatabaseHelper { func commitChange() throws { try modelContext.save() } func makeChanges() async throws { // Do unrelated expensive tasks on the child context... // Next, use our item service let service = ItemService(modelContainer: SwiftDataStack.shared.container) let id = try await service.expensiveBackgroundTask(saveChanges: false) // Now that we've used the service, we need to access something the service created. // However, because the service created its own context and it was never saved, we can't access it. let itemFromService = context.fetch(id) // fails // We need to be able to access changes made from the service within this service, /// so instead I tried to create the service by passing the current service context, however that results in: // ERROR: Sending 'self.modelContext' risks causing data races let serviceFromContext = ItemService(context: modelContext) // Swift Data doesn't let you create child contexts, so the same context must be used in order to change data without saving. } } @ModelActor actor ItemService { init(context: ModelContext) { modelContainer = SwiftDataStack.shared.container modelExecutor = DefaultSerialModelExecutor(modelContext: context) } func expensiveBackgroundTask(saveChanges: Bool = true) async throws -> PersistentIdentifier? { // Do something expensive... return nil } } Core Data has the same problem: /// This actor does multiple things without saving, until committed in Core Data. actor CoreDataHelper { let parentContext: NSManagedObjectContext let context: NSManagedObjectContext /// In Core Data, I can create a child context from a background context. /// This lets you modify the context and save it without updating the main context. init(progress: Progress = Progress()) { parentContext = CoreDataStack.shared.newBackgroundContext() let childContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .privateQueueConcurrencyType) childContext.parent = parentContext self.context = childContext } /// To commit changes, save the parent context pushing them to the main context. func commitChange() async throws { // ERROR: Sending 'self.parentContext' risks causing data races try await parentContext.perform { try self.parentContext.save() } } func makeChanges() async throws { // Do unrelated expensive tasks on the child context... // As with the Swift Data example, I am unable to create a service that uses the current actors context from here. // ERROR: Sending 'self.context' risks causing data races let service = ItemService(context: self.context) } } Am I going about this wrong, or is there a solution to fix these errors? Some services are very large and have their own internal state. So it would be very difficult to merge all of them into a single service. I also am using Core Data, and SwiftData extensively so I need a solution for both. I seem to have trapped myself into a corner trying to make everything concurrency save, so any help would be appreciated!

ARKit hand tracking
Hello, I am developing a visionOS application and am interested in obtaining detailed data of users’ hands through ARKit, including but not limited to Transform and rotation angle. I have reviewed Happy Beem, but it appears to only introduce the method of identifying the user’s specific gestures. Could you please advise on how to obtain the Transform and rotation angle of the user’s hand? Thank you.

How to run `xctest` bundle - or how to add `entitlement` to test?
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.

Optimal Way of Getting Screen Resolution Using SwiftUI
Hi all, I am looking for a futureproof way of getting the Screen Resolution of my display device using SwiftUI in MacOS. I understand that it can't really be done to the fullest extent, meaning that the closest API we have is the GeometeryProxy and that would only result in the resolution of the parent view, which in the MacOS case would not give us the display's screen resolution. The only viable option I am left with is NSScreen.frame. However, my issue here is that it seems like Apple is moving towards SwiftUI aggressively, and in order to futureproof my application I need to not rely on AppKit methods as much. Hence, my question: Is there a way to get the Screen Resolution of a Display using SwiftUI that Apple itself recommends? If not, then can I rely safely on NSScreen's frame API?

I'm trying to use a keychain-access-group and failing
This is on macOS, not iOS. Not sure if that should make a difference? I have a GUI app and a command line tool (that will run a daemon) that I need to share credentials between. The keys/certs will be stored using the GUI app. But, both tools need to utilize them. guard let accessControl = SecAccessControlCreateWithFlags( nil, kSecAttrAccessibleWhenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly, [.privateKeyUsage], nil ) else { throw KeychainCertError.keychainError(errSecAuthFailed, "Failed to create access control for private key") } // Define Key Pair Attributes let privateKeyAttributes: [String: Any] = [ kSecAttrIsPermanent as String: true, kSecAttrApplicationTag as String: privateLabel.data(using: .utf8)!, kSecAttrLabel as String: privateLabel, // kSecAttrAccessControl as String: accessControl, kSecAttrAccessGroup as String: keychainAccessGroup ] With the kSecAttrAccessControl commented out, I am able to generate a private key and generate a self signed certificate that is stored on the user login keychain. If I uncomment that line, I get an error to the affect of "Keychain error (-26275): Failed to generate key pair: A required entitlement isn't present" Also, to share the credentials, don't they need to be NOT on the user keychain for the daemon to access them? Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I think I'm a bit over my head here with the the security, crypto kit and openssl. 😁

JournalingSuggestions Crashes on iOS 18 Simulator with Xcode 16.2 – Linker Error
I’m running into an issue while implementing JournalingSuggestions with Xcode 16.2 and the iOS 18 simulator. My code builds and runs fine on a physical device, but it consistently crashes on the simulator and in Xcode previews. I’ve tried several workarounds, including weak linking and solutions from this post (746843), but I’m still hitting a wall. Here’s what’s happening: I get a warning: JournalingSuggestions is not available when building for iOS Simulator. This is followed by a build error: Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation). What I’ve Tried: Weak linking the JournalingSuggestions framework. Applying fixes from this post (746843), such as cleaning the build folder and using weak link. Deleting Derived Data and rebuilding. Testing on a physical device (works fine). My Setup: Xcode Version: 16.2 Simulator: iOS 18 Build Success: Works on physical device, fails on simulator/preview Code: #if canImport(JournalingSuggestions) import JournalingSuggestions #endif ... var suggestionButton: some View { #if canImport(JournalingSuggestions) #if !targetEnvironment(simulator) if #available(iOS 17.2, *) { return AnyView(journalingSuggestionsPickerButton) } #endif return AnyView(disabledSuggestionButton) #else return AnyView(disabledSuggestionButton) #endif }

How to properly pass a Metal layer from SwiftUI MTKView to C++ for use with metal-cpp?
Hello! I'm currently porting a videogame console emulator to iOS and I'm trying to make the renderer (tested on MacOS) work on iOS as well. The emulator core is written in C++ and uses metal-cpp for rendering, whereas the iOS frontend is written in Swift with SwiftUI. I have an Objective-C++ bridging header for bridging the Swift and C++ sides. On the Swift side, I create an MTKView. Inside the MTKView delegate, I run the emulator for 1 video frame and pass it the view's backing layer for it to render the final output image with. The emulator runs and returns, but when it returns I get a crash in Swift land (callstack attached below), inside objc_release, which indicates I'm doing something wrong with memory management. My bridging interface (ios_driver.h): #pragma once #include <Foundation/Foundation.h> #include <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> void iosCreateEmulator(); void iosRunFrame(CAMetalLayer* layer); Bridge implementation (ios_driver.mm): #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> extern "C" { #include "ios_driver.h" } <...> #define IOS_EXPORT extern "C" __attribute__((visibility("default"))) std::unique_ptr<Emulator> emulator = nullptr; IOS_EXPORT void iosCreateEmulator() { ... } // Runs 1 video frame of the emulator and IOS_EXPORT void iosRunFrame(CAMetalLayer* layer) { void* layerBridged = (__bridge void*)layer; // Pass the CAMetalLayer to the emulator emulator->getRenderer()->setMTKLayer(layerBridged); // Runs the emulator for 1 frame and renders the output image using our layer emulator->runFrame(); } My MTKView delegate: class Renderer: NSObject, MTKViewDelegate { var parent: ContentView var device: MTLDevice! init(_ parent: ContentView) { self.parent = parent if let device = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() { self.device = device } super.init() } func mtkView(_ view: MTKView, drawableSizeWillChange size: CGSize) {} func draw(in view: MTKView) { var metalLayer = view.layer as! CAMetalLayer // Run the emulator for 1 frame & display the output image iosRunFrame(metalLayer) } } Finally, the emulator's render function that interacts with the layer: void RendererMTL::setMTKLayer(void* layer) { metalLayer = (CA::MetalLayer*)layer; } void RendererMTL::display() { CA::MetalDrawable* drawable = metalLayer->nextDrawable(); if (!drawable) { return; } MTL::Texture* texture = drawable->texture(); <rest of rendering follows here using the drawable & its texture> } This is the Swift callstack at the time of the crash: To my understanding, I shouldn't be violating ARC rules as my bridging header uses CAMetalLayer* instead of void* and Swift will automatically account for ARC when passing CoreFoundation objects to Objective-C. However I don't have any other idea as to what might be causing this. I've been trying to debug this code for a couple of days without much success. If you need more info, the emulator code is also on Github Metal renderer: https://github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS/blob/ios/src/core/renderer_mtl/renderer_mtl.cpp#L58-L68 Bridge implementation: https://github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS/blob/ios/src/ios_driver.mm Bridging header: https://github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS/blob/ios/include/ios_driver.h Any help is more than appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance.

iPhone 16 Camera Control and AVCaptureSlider – Is there a way to detect which slider is active?
I am following the Apple sample code and trying to add a manual focus lens position slider: @available(iOS 18.0, *) private func addCameraControls() { if !self.session.controls.isEmpty { for control in self.session.controls { self.session.removeControl(control) } } self.cameraControlFocusSlider = nil //Focus Slider if self.videoDevice!.isLockingFocusWithCustomLensPositionSupported { self.cameraControlFocusSlider = AVCaptureSlider("Focus", symbolName: "dot.square", in: 0.0...1.0) self.cameraControlFocusSlider!.setActionQueue(self.sessionQueue) { focusValue in //Do manual focus } if self.session.canAddControl(self.cameraControlFocusSlider!) { self.session.addControl(self.cameraControlFocusSlider!) } } } So there are these AVCaptureSessionControlsDelegate methods: final func sessionControlsDidBecomeActive(_ session: AVCaptureSession) { print ("sessionControlsDidBecomeActive") } final func sessionControlsWillEnterFullscreenAppearance(_ session: AVCaptureSession) { print ("sessionControlsWillEnterFullscreenAppearance") } final func sessionControlsWillExitFullscreenAppearance(_ session: AVCaptureSession) { print ("sessionControlsWillExitFullscreenAppearance") } final func sessionControlsDidBecomeInactive(_ session: AVCaptureSession) { print ("sessionControlsDidBecomeInactive") } So when self.cameraControlFocusSlider is presented, I have to show the current value of the lense position. Lens position can change from auto focus and also from manual focus by the user using the app UI. Is there a way to see if self.cameraControlFocusSlider is active or being used? Please note that I will have more than one AVCaptureSlider in the final code.

Center the time in apps on Apple Watch app
Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm a new developer for apps for Apple devices, especially for Apple Watch, so please have mercy I'm trying to create an app for Apple Watch (WatchOs 10+) and I have a problem, my interface is made up of 3 buttons, one at the bottom of the screen and two smaller ones positioned on the top of the screen, each in their respective corners (one at the top right and the other at the top left). By positioning these buttons on the top of the screen, the top right button is covered by the default Apple time, and I would like to move it to the center, thus creating two side buttons and the time in the center. I'm also asking if there's a way to remove it since it's not useful to me, but reading some forums it seems that without it I don't pass the app verification, so I'm waiting for your advice. The only app I've seen in circulation on the app store that has the centered clock is petey.

Breakpoint issue: 'self cannot be reconstructed'
Hello! We're working on a large app with over 400 modules in both Swift and Objective-C, totaling more than 3 million lines of code. Since the release of Xcode 15 and 16 this summer, we’ve been experiencing issues with LLDB that have made debugging practically impossible. Here are some of the problems we’re facing: The first breakpoint takes a very long time to hit. When using 'po self', we encounter the following error: error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$s5MyModule10PlayerViewCD" was not found (cached) error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. We get numerous log messages like this: Debugging will be degraded due to missing types. Rebuilding the project will regenerate the needed module files.warning: (arm64) /Users/egormerkushev/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-enhtbwiyebmjsffoqkqhhpshsfia/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyModule.framework/MyModule(UploadConfiguration.o) 0x000000000000079d: unable to locate module needed for external types: /Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/169D1N0MIKBUI/Security-3BRN4UPIIGHME.pcm error: '/Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/169D1N0MIKBUI/Security-3BRN4UPIIGHME.pcm' does not exist In the Derived Data folder, we find files with hash-like names, such as: Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.d Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.dia Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.pcm Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.scan Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.d Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.dia Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.pcm Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.scan Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.d Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.dia Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.pcm Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.scan Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.d Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.dia Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.pcm Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.scan Security-3ZE8O6ZPHE4L52UZGL0PCBA59.d Security-3ZE8O6ZPHE4L52UZGL0PCBA59.dia ... When enabling LLDB logs with: log enable -f /tmp/lldb.log lldb all we end up with a 1.5GB log file containing hundreds of thousands of error messages.

Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. In short, our debugger is completely unusable at this point, which is severely impacting our team's ability to develop effectively. Do you have any suggestions on how we can resolve these issues? We would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
