I have an iOS app by using a swift package to hold most of the logic. However, the previews of SwiftUI views often fail with following error: HumanReadableSwiftError BuildError: failedToGenerateThunkInfo(Error Domain=com.apple.xcbuild Code=19 "could not generate preview info: noTargetBuildGraph" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=could not generate preview info: noTargetBuildGraph}) To reproduce this, please clone https://github.com/pointfreeco/isowords and check for preview of ChangelogView.

Sorry about my English, I'm using a translator. I'm taking a programming course with Swift in Xcode and one of the steps is to drag a control from the library into the view to place it below another control (both are "text"). In the preview, there is a text in the center of the mobile screen. In the video, open the library window with Shift + Command + L; then drag a "text" control to the preview that simulates a mobile phone and a stripe appears below the text control that I mentioned before, which means that that text will be placed below it. If you put it on top, then the line appears on top and the same if you put it on the sides. I have the option that appears below the phone, the one that says "Selectable", activated, so that I can select what I want in that phone simulation. The fact is that when I drag the text control from the library and try to put it below or in another position with respect to the text that already exists, it does nothing. The stripes do not appear, nor do you set the control. What could it be due to? I am using Xcode 15.3 Thank you.

Hi guys, I am migrating my widgets to iOS 17 and because I already manage my layout margins, I just want to disable to new built-in widget content margins. I did it by using ".contentMarginsDisabled()" on the WidgetConfiguration and it works fine at run time. WIDGET CODE struct MyWidget: Widget { let kind: String = "MyWidget" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { return IntentConfiguration(kind: kind, intent: MyWidgetIntent.self, provider: WidgetProvider<MyWidgetIntent>()) { entry in WidgetView<MyWidgetIntent>(entry: entry) } .configurationDisplayName("My Widget") .supportedFamilies([WidgetFamily.systemMedium]) .contentMarginsDisabled() // <-- HERE } } RESULT Nevertheless, when previewing the WidgetView in a WidgetPreviewContext I didn't find anyway to disable the content margins (because manipulating directly the view and not a WidgetConfiguration). PREVIEW CODE struct MyWidget_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { WidgetView<MyWidgetIntent>(entry: WidgetEntry<MyWidgetIntent>()) // .padding(-16) Need to add this negative padding to disable margin .previewContext( WidgetPreviewContext(family: .systemMedium)) } } Do you know how to disable the content margins for widget preview?

Hi all, I am trying to create a widget for my app but I cannot use the Preview feature of Xcode. Xcode enters a build loop and builds the project over and over. There is no error or message. There is only a loading spinner and lots of build. It doesn't matter how much time I wait, it never finishes. I tried to clean the build folder, delete all preview simulators, quit, and reopen the XCode but nothing helped.

Following article Creating a widget extension on developer.apple.com (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/creating-a-widget-extension) I encountered a problem with XCode preview: it shows an error with message | RemoteHumanReadableError: Failed to launch agent | No plugin is registered to launch the process type widgetExtension. Can someone help me? macOS 13.4 XCode 14.3.1

Summary When trying to display SwiftUI previews, building the previews may fail with the following error: Linking failed: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) ld: warning: search path '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks-iphonesimulator' not found ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked framework 'CoreAudioTypes': framework 'CoreAudioTypes' not found Note that may app does not use CoreAudioTypes. Observation This issue seems to occur when two conditions are met: The SwiftUI view must be located in a Swift Package Somewhere in either the View or the #Preview a type from another package has to be used. Say I have to packages one named Model-package and one named UI-Package. The UI-Package depends on the Model-Package. If I have a SwiftUI view in the UI-Package that uses a type of the Model-Package either in the View itself or in the #Preview, then the described error occurs. If I have a View in the UI-package that does not use a type of the Model-Package anywhere in its View or #Preview then the SwiftUI Preview builds and renders successful. I created a bug report: FB13033812

Hello! I'm studying swift in college now, and have encountered a problem previewing my code using canvas. Here's part of the code: struct ContentView: View { ......(omitted) var body: some View{ ScrollView{ cards Spacer() cardsAdjuster } } The canvas panel looks all right with the line "ScrollView", as the image shows, with the only problem that "cardsAdjuster" moves with the cards. But if I remove the line "ScrollView", the panel went wrong: As the image displays, all parts of body are displayed separately, and I can't find any setting options to merge them. (Take a look at the top of the screenshot) The problem is also found on my classmate's Xcode 12 running on macOS Monterey. Looking forward to your reply and thoughts. Thank you all!!

I am new to Xcode and trying to learn and having issues with errors it seems. I believe the problem is specifically with my code not being able to be displayed on the example iPhone on the right hand side of the screen. Here are the 2 errors I receive below. The codes at the very bottom are red on my screen so I am guessing those are what is most important out of all of this. Thanks and please let me know if I can answer any additional questions regarding this.

I have a Swift Package Manager module with some SwiftUI files that I was using Previews without issues in Xcode 15.2. When I upgraded to Xcode 15.3, it fails with “Cannot preview in this file. Unexpected error occurred”. When I click to get more info, this is the error: == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: HumanReadableSwiftError BuildError: failedToGenerateThunkInfo(could not generate preview info: noTargetBuildGraph) Is anyone experiencing the same problems? My preview, which lives in a SPM package, works totally fine in Xcode 15.2, but fails in Xcode 15.3. Any ideas for how to fix it? I've tried deleting DerivedData, resetting package caches, clean building. So frustrating seeing these regression issues popping up still. I filed FB13678356 but it was quickly marked as "Investigation Complete - Unable to diagnose with current information" but there was no request for what further information I could provide! I attached a full sysdiagnose and error log! Would also note, that when I revert back to Xcode 15.2, the previews go back to working...

I keep getting the error: "Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate as the parent app. Verify the embedded binary target's code sign settings match the parent app's." I don't know why. The only thing I can think of is that my iPhone is signed into a different Apple ID than the one I'm using for my Xcode signing. But I'm not sure because I can't find any info about it online.

I'm trying to preview a SwiftUI view that resides in a local Swift package. I have the Swift package selected as the current scheme, so all the proper dependencies are available and the build succeeds. But I see this message in the Preview window: Cannot show preview: check whether the preview is compiled for the current scheme and OS of the device used for previewing How do I ensure the preview is compiled for a particular scheme and device OS? I updated MacOS to 14.3.1 and Xcode to 15.3 in the hopes that that might fix this issue, but it did not.

The Build for Previews builds all my targets including the test targets. Is there a way to configure the relevant targets? I do not see an option in the schema editor, and disabling Find Implicit Dependencies has no effect either.

Building in visionOS and one of my Swift UI views keeps causing Xcode to crash. The root issue is within the preview code, stuck on updating the preview code to prevent Xcode from crashing. When I run the simulator the app works perfectly, no bugs or issues. Any advice on how to update the preview code would be very helpful :) import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct BrandImage: View { @State private var currentIndex: Int = 0 @Environment(\.openWindow) private var openWindow @EnvironmentObject var sharedAppState: SharedAppState var brand: [BrandEcommData] var initialBrand: BrandEcommData init(brand: [BrandEcommData], initialBrand: BrandEcommData) { self.brand = brand self.initialBrand = initialBrand if let initialIndex = brand.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == initialBrand.id}) { _currentIndex = State(initialValue: initialIndex) } } var body: some View { HStack(spacing: 0) { ZStack { ForEach(0..<brand.count, id: \.self) { index in if index == currentIndex { VStack { Text(brand[index].brand) .padding(.top, 5) brand[index].image .resizable() .scaledToFit() } .transition(.scale) } } HStack { Button(action: { withAnimation { self.currentIndex = (self.currentIndex - 1 + brand.count) % brand.count sharedAppState.currentModelId = brand[currentIndex].id } }) { Image(systemName: "arrow.left.circle.fill") .font(.largeTitle) .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) } .padding(.leading, 20) Spacer() Button(action: { withAnimation { self.currentIndex = (self.currentIndex + 1) % brand.count sharedAppState.currentModelId = brand[currentIndex].id } }) { Image(systemName: "arrow.right.circle.fill") .font(.largeTitle) .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) } .padding(.trailing, 20) } VStack { HStack { Spacer() Button(action: { openWindow(id: "volumetric") }) { Image(systemName: "cube.transparent") .font(.title) .padding() .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) } } Spacer() } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) Rectangle() .frame(width: 2) .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) VStack { Text(brand[currentIndex].name) .font(.title2) Text(brand[currentIndex].itemDetail) .font(.subheadline) Text(brand[currentIndex].itemDescription) .padding() Text(brand[currentIndex].price) } } .onAppear { sharedAppState.currentModelId = initialBrand.id } } } #Preview { if let initialBrand = ecommdata?.first { BrandImage(brand: ecommdata!, initialBrand: initialBrand) } else { Text("Unable to load 3D Asset") } }

Anyone else having issues in Xcode preview where when you tap on a button to open a volume window nothing appears in the Xcode preview window? For example, if you download the Hello World Xcode project and try to open the globe volume after tapping the toggle button, the globe volume window never opens. Running the latest version of Xcode 15.3 beta.
