Preview layouts in Xcode 14 render the layout in live mode by default. Can this default be changed to "Selectable" permanently? E.g. through an Xcode plist entry? I know there is a manual option to switch to the Selectable option exists in the bottom left.

Recently have been working on this project just fine... had an app throw a warning for some malware called InstallCore. Removed the malware and now I am getting this on every preview, regardless of the device preview type. I've tried clearing derived data, cache, etc. No dice. Could not install the preview host "AppName.app" on iPhone 14 Pro Max: Failed to get parent identifier for BUNDLEIDENTIFIER.

Since updating to Big Sur 11.7.5 I am unable to preview any Views or run the Playground both continue to create Crash Reports until Xcode is stopped. The Preview panel remains blank or the Playground never runs. Crash Report attached below which indicates that the update has moved a Library called AddressBook and Xcode can no longer locate it.

I have an app with some SwiftUI Views. When using preview in Xcode, Xcode creates many instances of the previews. Then I quit Xcode, but the previews are not quit. I have to force quit them in Menu -> Apple Icon Menu -> Force Quit. Has anyone seen the same thing? How to solving it? Xcode 14.3 (14E222b) macOS Ventura 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a) Mac mini M1 16G 512G

Hello, I've completed the Landmarks App Apple Developer tutorial, since finishing it I decided to create a project using the .JSON code from the project. I've wrote the code in an identical layout as the tutorial, however I am receiving the error - Couldn't parse lesssonData.json as array - when trying to load a preview and the app builds successfully but crashes when I launch it. Below is the code, any help is appreciated! LessonList.swift import SwiftUI struct LessonList: View { var lesson: Lesson var body: some View { VStack { List { Section { ForEach(lessons, id: \.self) { lesson in Label(lesson.name, systemImage: "house") } } Section { Label("Hello World!", systemImage: "globe") } } } } } struct LessonList_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var lessons = ModelData().lessons static var previews: some View { LessonList(lesson: lessons[0]) } } ModelData.swift import Foundation import Combine final class ModelData: ObservableObject { @Published var lessons: [Lesson] = load("lessonData.json") } var lessons: [Lesson] = load("lessonData.json") func load<T: Decodable>(_ filename: String) -> T { let data: Data guard let file = Bundle.main.url(forResource: filename, withExtension: nil) else { fatalError("Couldn't find \(filename) in main bundle.") } do { data = try Data(contentsOf: file) } catch { fatalError("Couldn't load \(filename) from main bundle:\n\(error)") } do { let decoder = JSONDecoder() return try decoder.decode(T.self, from: data) } catch { fatalError("Couldn't parse \(filename) as \(T.self):\n\(error)") // Error on this Line } } lessonData.JSON [ { "id":"1001", "lessonNo":"Lesson 1", "name":"Introduction to Photography", "category":"Introduction", }, { "id":"1002", "lessonNo":"Lesson 2", "name":"Negative and Positive Space", "category":"Introduction", }, { "id":"1003", "lessonNo":"Lesson 3", "name":"Introduction to Camera Angles", "category":"Introduction", }, { "id":"1004", "lessonNo":"Lesson 4", "name":"Lighting and Framing", "category":"Beginners", }, { "id":"1005", "lessonNo":"Lesson 5", "name":"Still Photography", "category":"Beginners", }, { "id":"1006", "lessonNo":"Lesson 6", "name":"Motion Photograhy", "category":"Beginners", }, { "id":"1007", "lessonNo":"Lesson 7", "name":"Aperture and F-Stops", "category":"Intermiediate", }, { "id":"1008", "lessonNo":"Lesson 8", "name":"Shutter Speeds", "category":"Intermiediate", }, { "id":"1009", "lessonNo":"Lesson 9", "name":"Advanced Framing", "category":"Advanced", }, { "id":"1010", "lessonNo":"Lesson 10", "name":"Advanced Aperture, F-Stops and Shutter Speeds", "category":"Advanced", }, ]

Even though the code is 100% works in the simulator, the preview canvas gets "Cannot preview in this file" error more often. How could I get the issue sorted? The issue is sorted after restarting the xcode several times. I tried to attache the generated report as a zip file, but it does not support to attach.

Can't compile existing project with new #Preview macros. Get: 'Preview' is only available in application extensions for iOS 17.0 or newer And because macros generate struct I can't use #available to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I guess the only solution is to create new macros that will work like #available(iOS 17) { code } and remove the code for older iOS?

When using Xcode's Preview or Simulator, I noticed that my M2 Air will overheat. This hasn't happened before in Ventura or Xcode 14.

It keeps saying "iOS 17.0 Not Installed" and I cannot build and run my app. When I click the "GET" button, a new window popped up and it clearly stated that iOS 17.0 Simulator was installed. I already tried reinstalling Xcode, but the problem is still there. Any suggestion is appreciated!

I have been working on a 3x3 Rubik's cube app for iOS, and I have a timer in it. Whenever I try to add a time and save the context in a preview, it gives an error. func addTime(){ print("Started") formatTime() print("Formatted") withAnimation(){ print(formattedTime) let time = Time(context: viewContext) time.time = formattedTime print(time.time!) do{ print("dostart") try viewContext.save() print("saved") }catch{ let error = error as NSError print("An error occurred: \(error)") fatalError("An error occurred: \(error)") } } } This is the function that adds the time and saves the context.(The prints were for debugging purposes) When this function runs while testing in the preview, the do/catch returns "An error occurred: Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError" When I try to run this in the simulator, it gives this error in Persistence.swift: If you need it, here is my entire ContentView.swift: import SwiftUI import CoreData var scrambles = ["R' B' L U' B2 D B' D' L R B L2 D' B L' U L2 B2 L B2 R' F L2 B' F' U2 B F' L2 F2", "D' B' L B' F L' B2 U' R2 D' U' L' D' R' F L U2 F' R2 D' B2 L' R' B' L R' U F L B2", "L R B' D' L D' U L2 R' B2 L' D2 U2 R' D' U' L D F' L2 D2 F D2 L' D' U' B' F2 U' B'", "U L2 R D' B2 D2 R2 D2 L2 R U2 R' U L2 D' F' D R B' F2 L' F' L B2 F' D' L R' F2 D"," D' U F L' R' U2 R' D B2 F U' L2 D2 B' L2 B2 R' F' D' U B' L' R' B' F L' B' L R2 D", "D2 U' F2 D' U' B2 F' U' R D2 U R2 D2 R2 U L B F2 D2 U2 B F2 L U2 F' U2 R D' L F'", "F D' U B F2 U' F' L2 B2 F2 U B2 F2 D' B' F' L' R2 B D U' B2 F' L' R B' U2 R2 D2 F'", "B F U2 B2 L U B F L2 R F' L2 F' U2 R B U' B2 U2 B' U2 L R D' U2 B' D L R' U"] var starts = ["Start", "Stop"] struct ContentView: View { @State var start = false @State var startstop = "Start" @State var watch = stopwatch() @State var elapsedTime: Int = 0 @State var timeToSave: Int = 0 @State var minutes: Int = 0 @State var seconds: Int = 0 @State var milliseconds: Int = 0 @State var formattedTime: String = "" @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext @FetchRequest(entity: Time.entity(), sortDescriptors: []) private var timecd: FetchedResults&lt;Time&gt; var body: some View { NavigationView{ VStack{ Text("CubeTimer") .font(.largeTitle) .fontWeight(.bold) .padding(2) Text(scrambles.randomElement()!) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .padding(.top, 125.0) .padding(.leading, 15) .padding(.trailing, 15) .font(.title) .fontWeight(.bold) if start{ watch .padding(.top, 30) .fontWeight(.bold) .onAppear{ startstop = "Stop" watchToggle() } var timer: Timer { Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.01, repeats: true) {_ in elapsedTime += 1 //print("\(minutes).\(seconds)") print("called") print(elapsedTime) //figure out how to stop timer and save time to core data } } } Button(action: { start.toggle() if start == false{ timeToSave = elapsedTime print(timeToSave) print(elapsedTime) watchToggle() buttonToggle() addTime() } //print(start) }){ Text(startstop) }.padding(.top, 7) .font(.system(size: 30)) Spacer() //figure out how to stop timer and save time to core data } List{ ForEach(timecd){time in Text(time.time ??

Just found the rounded corners of Smart Stack previews are incorrect. They rendered as circular rounded corners, which are not consistent with other Apple Watch previews and also the physical Apple Watch. They should be changed to continuous rounded corners.

Has anyone figured out how to generate sample data for a Preview Container that contains relationships? I've tried numerous ways to get a relationship, but have not had any success. I've searched around the forms and the internet to see if I can find anything, but haven't had any luck. Here is what I have defined for my previewContainter and the sample data structure. I've followed the same pattern that is found in WWDC2023 Build an app with SwiftData. The books and tags are created just fine in memory, and in my SwiftUI previews, I can see these items. Here is what I currently have, but I have also tried running a query after SampleData.books.forEach(container.mainContext.insert(object: )) and then using one of the returned items for the relationship, but every query I perform in here returns an empty result. Am I barking up the wrong tree with my approach, or is this a known issue that I have not come across? @MainActor let previewContainer: ModelContainer = { do { let container = try ModelContainer( for: [Project.self, Recipe.self, Tag.self], ModelConfiguration(inMemory: true) ) // Add in sample data SampleData.books.forEach(container.mainContext.insert(object: )) SampleData.tags.forEach(container.mainContext.insert(object: )) SampleData.recipes.forEach(container.mainContext.insert(object: )) return container } catch { fatalError("Failed to create preview container") } }() struct SampleData { static let books: [Book] = { return (1...5).map({ Book(title: "Sample Book #\($0)") }) }() static let tags: [Tag] = { return (1...5).map({ Tag(name: "Sample Tag #\($0)") }) }() static let recipes: [Recipe] = { (1...5).map({ Recipe(name: "Sample Recipe #\($0)", book: Self.books.first!) }) }() } Thanks

Hey all, I was just wondering what would be the best/easiest way to have a sample for any MusicItem to use in SwiftUI previews. I know I could convert one into a string and then decode (as it conforms to Codable) but maybe there is a way that would make it easier to setup? if not I might file a feedback for this as I think it would be great if all MusicItem structures would have a .example or something like that so for a view you'd have #Preview { SongTitlesView(song: Song.example) }

I am not able to present the preview of xcode 15, I am having the error message "Cannot preview in this file" "Syntax error" but I have no error in xcode.

Hiya, I am having issues trying to use previews in the xcode 15 beta, i am using an M2 macbook air with 8gb of ram. I am using MacOS Sonoma and iOS 17.0 Beta 1 and am struggling using previews, the base simulator works but no previews. I am not receiving any error so am very confused. Any help would be majorly appreciated. Thanks, Gus

Hey guys, So I am just starting out and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to match the preview I am seeing in the apple Landmarks swiftUI tutorial as seen above the phone here: and again when looking at these 2 rows: My live preview settings seem to be at the bottom, and look different from the tutorial: As you can see as well, in my layout I need to click between the 2 views while the tutorial layout shows both at the same time. I have searched all over and can't seem to figure out why they are different. If someone could just let me know I would appreciate it!
