Xcode - dragging control from library to preview doesn't work
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.

Xcode 15: Disable the content margins for widget preview? (contentMarginsDisabled)
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?

XCode 15.3 WidgetKit Preview Problem
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.

Xcode14 canvas panel problem
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!!

Xcode 14 "Preview" Issue
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.

Xcode error when trying to preview on my iPhone.
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.

"Cannot show preview" message in Preview window
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.

Xcode Preview Causing Crashes
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") } }

Archive Build Requires 'Preview Content'
Does an 'archive build' require 'preview content'? I've put swift source files into 'Preview Content' directories - one directory for the top-level App and one for an embedded framework. An 'archive build' fails, complaining about the code in a #Preview block. #Preview { // the archive build fails to find this `default` ?? let controller = PersistenceControllerTopLevelPreview.default let user = controller.user ... The framework has its 'Preview Context' specified in the Development Assets; same with the top-level App.
