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.

I am working on a 2018 Macbook Air. Here is the diagnostic that is generated. previews_diagnostics_summary.txt

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") } }

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 preview or editor canvas is not working in my xcode app. I have updated my computer, updated the app, deleted and reinstalled the app, done cmd+shift+k, turned off automatically refresh canvas, tried previewing it on an older model iphone, but havent found a solution. Message me for my feedback id and disagnostic report, because it is not leeting me add it without being flagged for sensitive content

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 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 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.

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!!

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.

Preview Canvas in The editor stopped showing up. I closed it and did everything I saw on the forum, but it still did not work. I also noticed that in some SwiftView it shows the preview, but it does not the same with the others.

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.

I am not able to use swiftUI preview in my project. i have attached the diagnosed report for the same. Please update. previews_diagnostics_summary.txt

Recently my live preview canvas on Xcode recently stopped accepting my keyboard inputs out of the blue when I type in a textField. Has this bug been addressed? I'm on iOS sim 17.4, Xcode 15.3

Hi, I have had this issue since I started working again in iOS this year with Xcode 15. What happened to the SwiftUI Previews? My problem is that they are stuck forever in the Loading screen "Preparing iPhone Simulator for Previews". I now test the code on the actual Simulator and waiting for Xcode 16 to fix this. The characteristics of my project are: Using Swift Package Manager (10+ dependencies) Using Unit Tests and Test Plans. Using macOS Ventura (reverted from Sonoma because it's even worse) Macbook Air M1 - 16GB of RAM. I have tried everything including: Erasing derived data. Restarting. Reinstalling the whole computer. Reverting Sonoma to Ventura. Reverting Xcode 15.2 to 15.1 and 15.0.1. Using Previews_Provider and #Previews {} Using completely empty projects to test previews. Please help. Thanks

I referred to the code provided in the article Adding and Editing Persistent Data in Your App in the SwiftData documentation and tested the "/PreviewHelper" approach. I found that if a model class contains a property of a struct, and that struct includes a Set property or an Array property, the Preview would throw an error. Here is an example of the model: @Model class Book { // ... var someStruct: SomeStruct // ... } struct SomeStruct: Codable { // ... var someCollection: Set<Int> // ... } In actuality, this model can run and store data without any issues, but it fails to run in the Preview. Is there a problem with the implementation of this Preview or is there any other reason? Are there better ways to perform Preview in SwiftData?

With the newest version of Xcode (15.3) I cannot get Preview to load and am getting the following error: HumanReadableSwiftError CancellationError: CancellationError() I'd had this same issue a few months ago and opening up an older project's previews and then opening the project I was working on would allow Preview to show. The last few weeks I've not been getting this error and after 3 or 4 days not being in Xcode I'm getting this same error again. I'm relatively new to Xcode and Swift so not being able to load the darn preview and work through tutorials after seemingly doing the exact same thing I've been doing for months is quite ridiculous and frustrating. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, I have been using Xcode for less than 5 months. Recently I get a problem that my previews does not load, even when I created a new project on a local disk. The Project builds, but the preview does not. The error I saw from the Diagnostics window is as below == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: HumanReadableSwiftError CancellationError: CancellationError()

So like the title says, when I start up Xcode the preview won;t work till I run a debug session using the simulator. Sometimes the debug session is unable to start the simulator, which I can start manually then run a debug session. Once all the above is done, preview works. Any idea what is causing this behavior?
