I'm new to Xcode, and I'm learning using the apple swiftUI tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui/creating-and-combining-views I did the first few steps, but I can't get the simulator preview to work. My mac and Xcode are updated, but I can't it to load. Everything works fine when I do a mac project. Thanks in advance.

Is the preview set to read-only mode in Xcode 15? Drag and drop of any library items to preview canvas doesn't work. Is this feature removed in Xcode 15? (I don't want to believe that it was so helpful)

SwiftUI preview hangs on "Preparing iPhone Simulator for Previews". Also simulator hangs when trying to build and run. This occurred after I installed iOS 17 simulator. I tried reverting back to an iOS 16 version of the simulator, but haven't figured out how to do that. Build and run to an iPhone device works fine. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I am a UIKit developer and I would like to try out SwiftUI. Unfortunately, my previews don't load. My situation is like the one described in this blog post: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/704036. Unfortunately I can't update Xcode like that developer did. What I've tried: quitting and restarting Xcode, restarting my computer, resetting the simulator, deleting the derived data folder, creating new projects without storage options, test bundles or source control, editing the content view of the initial Hello World file. To be clear, I've just started learning about SwiftUI, just yesterday evening, and the previews have never loaded. Is the problem solvable? If so, how?

I've setup a NavigationLink so users can tap on the image and they're taken to another view, in this case "FenderExperience". I can't for the life of me figure out how to make this oval bar behind the image disappear. Is this an Xcode preview issue? I'm running Xcode 15.2 struct BrandImage: View { var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { NavigationStack { Text("Ralph Lauren") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("RL") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) Text("Fender") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) NavigationLink(destination: FenderXperience()) { Image("Fender II") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 95) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) } Text("Burton") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("Burton") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) Text("Ray Ban") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("Ray Ban") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) Text("Levi's") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("Levis II") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) } } .padding(.leading, 50) } } #Preview { BrandImage() }

Whenever we include the mergeable configuration on an xcframework which contains a SwiftUI preview, the preview can't compile. That's because it is trying to keep the dynamic configuration but on a binary type that is not a dynamic library. It fails with the error: Linking failed: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 1d: -make_mergeable can only be used when creating a dynamic library clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) That's only happening when we add the preview.

Hello, Very recently, the following code has automatically appeared at the bottom of three of my SwiftUI View files: @available(iOS 17.0, macOS 14.0, tvOS 17.0, visionOS 1.0, watchOS 10.0, *) struct $s10Accent_Ace33_0BADA584A03144EFDAB57154E6FD3FBALl7PreviewfMf_15PreviewRegistryfMu_: DeveloperToolsSupport.PreviewRegistry { static let fileID: String = "Accent_Ace/HistoryView.swift" static let line: Int = 47 static let column: Int = 1 static func makePreview() throws -> DeveloperToolsSupport.Preview { DeveloperToolsSupport.Preview { let randomWord1 = FetchWord.getRandomWord() let randomWord2 = FetchWord.getRandomWord() @State var randomWords = [Word(word: randomWord1.0, IPA: randomWord1.1, lineNumber: randomWord1.2), Word(word: randomWord2.0, IPA: randomWord2.1, lineNumber: randomWord2.2)] HistoryView(words: $randomWords) } } } This is from one of my files but it's very similar in the other two. It seems to have something to do with my previews. The problem is that this code generates an error: Ambiguous use of 'init(_:traits:body:)'. My previews worked just fine before the auto-generated code appeared, so I tried deleting it. However, it automatically comes back no matter how many times I get rid of it. It's preventing me from building my App Playground, so I can't run the app or even see the previews. Does anyone know how to get rid of it or fix the error? Thanks for the help!

It seem that Xcode preview compiler fail correctly parse generic and produce a "Failed to build" error: Proposed example: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ import CoreBluetooth import SwiftUI /// Working in preview /* struct InitialView<S>: View where S: StringProtocol { var body: some View { NestedView() } struct NestedView: View { var body: some View { Text("Hello") } } } struct WorkingView: View { var body: some View { InitialView<String>() } } */ /// Not working in preview struct NotWorking: View { var body: some View { InitialView<String>() } struct InitialView<S>: View where S: StringProtocol { var body: some View { NestedView() } struct NestedView: View { var body: some View { Text("Hello") } } } } struct ContentView_PreviewProviders: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { NotWorking() } } ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ investigating the SampleView.1.preview-thunk.swift from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../ directory, I found that compiler translate the above code into pre-compiled stage using typealias without considering the Generic condition- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ... extension NotWorking.InitialView.NestedView { typealias InitialView = NotWorking.InitialView typealias NestedView = NotWorking.InitialView.NestedView @_dynamicReplacement(for: body) private var __preview__body: some View { #sourceLocation(file: "/Users/giuseppe/Development/Private/Dev/MyPlayground/MyPlayground/SampleView.swift", line: 40) Text(__designTimeString("#32812.[2].[1].[1].[0].property.[0].[0].arg[0].value", fallback: "Hello")) #sourceLocation() } } extension NotWorking.InitialView { typealias InitialView = NotWorking.InitialView typealias NestedView = NotWorking.InitialView.NestedView @_dynamicReplacement(for: body) private var __preview__body: some View { #sourceLocation(file: "/Users/giuseppe/Development/Private/Dev/MyPlayground/MyPlayground/SampleView.swift", line: 35) NestedView() #sourceLocation() } } extension NotWorking { @_dynamicReplacement(for: body) private var __preview__body: some View { #sourceLocation(file: "/Users/giuseppe/Development/Private/Dev/MyPlayground/MyPlayground/SampleView.swift", line: 30) InitialView<String>() #sourceLocation() } } ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Should be considered a compiler bug or I missed something in my code?

Hi, I am trying to use SwiftUI in my project where I was using UIKit only, until now. The problem is that Preview in Xcode is not working even for very simple View with Text("Hello World"). Code is correct and project is possible to build and run. Even when I try to select real device (real iPhone) I can see Preview in my device. But preview in simulator is not working. Can someone help me with this? I am attaching diagnostic from Xcode and file from ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ Thanks for help xcode_preview.txt findmylocated-2023-11-08-133122.ips.txt

Hey, is there any reason why code coverage is not excluded from the preview in SwiftUI?

Hello! I have been experiencing an issue where if I make a change to a file then preview breaks and I must rebuild the project to fix preview. I cant attach the diagnostic report unfortunately as its too big even after i compressed it. How should I proceed?

Having MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey v 12.7.2 and Xcode 13.3 (13B113) I cannot find a Xcode simulator, which could provide iPhone 6.7" display for my first app's product page' Any advice? Thanks!

I am using the Observable macro and when I use @Environment property wrapper to instance my model the preview stop working. Sample code below my model Library import SwiftUI import Observation @Observable class Library { // ... } Now in my main app I created an instance of Library and add that instance to the environment @main struct BookReaderApp: App { @State private var library = Library() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { LibraryView() .environment(library) } } } Now if I want to retrieve the Library instance from any view using the @Environment property wrapper the preview stop working completely struct LibraryView: View { @Environment(Library.self) private var library var body: some View { List(library.books) { book in BookView(book: book) } } } #Preview { LibraryView() } Check the 2 screenshots below Any idea why this is happening? Is there any workaround? I am working with Xcode Version 15.2. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

Have a fairly large project in production and after updating Xcode from 14.x to 15.x the previews are no longer working. Devs in our team are using various Apple silicon machines.
