static analyzer error in std::sort
I'm getting a static analysis warning on the following code. I don't think it could be my error, but I guess it's more likely a static analysis false positive than a C++ standard library bug. The warning says "Method called on moved-from object of type 'std::basic_string'". Tested in Xcode 26.5 RC. Reported as FB22735405. #include <algorithm> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h> template < class traits = std::char_traits<char>, class Allocator = std::allocator<char> > struct UTF8StringLess { bool operator()( const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inFirst, const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inSecond ) const; }; template<class traits, class Allocator> inline bool UTF8StringLess<traits, Allocator>::operator()( const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inFirst, const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inSecond ) const { CFStringRef theFirst = ::CFStringCreateWithCString( nullptr, inFirst.c_str(), kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ); CFStringRef theSecond = ::CFStringCreateWithCString( nullptr, inSecond.c_str(), kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ); CFComparisonResult compResult = ::CFStringCompare( theFirst, theSecond, kCFCompareCaseInsensitive ); bool isLess = (compResult == kCFCompareLessThan); ::CFRelease( theFirst ); ::CFRelease( theSecond ); return isLess; } int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { std::vector<std::string> names{ "obey", "Zorro", "can" }; std::sort( names.begin(), names.end(), UTF8StringLess() ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }

Reference to [symbol] is ambiguous, but it's the same symbol...
I've got a Project with a bunch of frameworks, each of which has a static library version of itself (for compiling command-line tools that also use the code). Compiling the frameworks goes fine. Compiling one of the static libraries (A Mime-parsing framework) is giving me the rather odd message that a bunch of symbols are ambiguous, but the ambiguity resolves to the same symbol in the error-message... ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:57:18: error: reference to 'E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA' is ambiguous 57 | case E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA: | ^ In file included from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:9: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:17:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA' 17 | E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA, // Enveloped data | ^ In module 'E3Mime' imported from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:8: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:17:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA' 17 | E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA, // Enveloped data | ^ ... and again ... ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:62:18: error: reference to 'E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA' is ambiguous 62 | case E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA: | ^ In file included from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:9: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:18:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA' 18 | E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA, // Signed data | ^ In module 'E3Mime' imported from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:8: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:18:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA' 18 | E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA, // Signed data | ^ ... and again, etc ... . No file inside the module (neither .m or .h) includes the module-header, the definition of the offending symbols looks like: // // E3AppPkcs7Part.h // E3Mime // #import <E3Mime/E3CryptoContext.h> #import <E3Mime/E3MimePart.h> #import <E3Mime/E3MimeMultipartEncrypted.h> NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN typedef enum { E3_SMIME_COMPRESSED_DATA, // Compressed data E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA, // Enveloped data E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA, // Signed data E3_SMIME_CERTS_ONLY, // Only certificate data E3_SMIME_UNKNOWN, // Que ? } E3SMimeType; ... And when I click on the error adornment in the editor pane, the errors disappear. It still won't build the project, though. I just get the same errors the next time I press CMD-B. Can't upload a short screen-capture of that, so I put it the movie at http://0x0000ff.co.uk/mov/phantom-errors.mov.

C function in library code gets stripped when distributed
This is a continuation of https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/795348 I rambled too much and did not understand the underlaying problem. The problem is that I have a C function in a iOS library. I want to call this C function from a dylib that this library loads on runtime. When running directly from Xcode (either in debug or release mode) this works correctly. However, when the app is uploaded to testflight or distributed for debugging then the function is stripped and a null function pointer exception crashes the app. In the last post it was really hard to explain and I was pressed on time but I've created a minimal reproducible example: https://github.com/ospfranco/dylib_crash The instructions to run and reproduce the crash are on the README.

Xcode Organizer is blowing up
An error occurred preventing Xcode from downloading version information from App Store Connect for account "xxxxxxxx".

How to Mark Unused Code (Methods, Properties, Classes) in Xcode for Deletion
Is there a way to mark unused parts of the code? I am developing an app using Objective-C, and I want to delete methods, properties, and classes that are not used in the code. In IDEA, this feature works well, with unused methods grayed out. However, Xcode doesn't have this functionality, making it inconvenient for me to remove unused code.

How do I locate and this Bundle Error
❌ Could not find email_ai.py in the app bundle. Available files: [] The error above is what I’m encountering. I’ve placed the referenced file both in the project directory and inside the app. However, every time I remove and reinsert the file into the folder within the app, it prompts me to designate the targets—I select all, but this doesn’t resolve the issue. I’m unsure how to properly reference the file so that it is recognised and included in the bundle. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. this is my build phase: #!/bin/sh set -x # Prints each command before running it (for debugging) pwd # Shows the current working directory echo "$SRCROOT" # Shows what Xcode thinks is the project root ls -l "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts" # Lists files in the script folder export PYTHONPATH="/Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin" /Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin/python3 "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts/email_ai.py" echo "Script completed."

How to retrieve overall memory peak in C++
I'm trying to retrieve the overall memory peak of a process. I've looked into retrieving it through task_vm_info struct defined in task_info.h By logging the members of the struct, it seems neither resident_size_peak, internal_peak or ledger_phys_footprint_peak is matching what the peak memory value that's being detected by xcode instrument. Can anyone point me to the correct way to retrieve that peak value? Is it the summation of some of the fields in task_vm_info` or is there a more complicated algorithm involved in deriving that value?

How to fix: IPA BINARY CODE ANALYSIS in iOS swift
I received the MOBSF security check result PDF, where I found some "High" severity issues. 1.Binary makes use of insecure API(s) with high CWE: CWE-676: Use of Potentially Dangerous Function OWASP Top 10: M7: Client Code Quality OWASP MASVS: MSTG-CODE-8. The binary may contain the following insecure API(s): _sscanf, _memcpy, _fopen. 2.Binary makes use of the malloc function with high CWE: CWE-789: Uncontrolled Memory Allocation OWASP Top 10: M7: Client Code Quality OWASP MASVS: MSTG-CODE-8. The binary may use the _malloc function instead of calloc. I have utilized a static analyzer, but I am unable to identify the APIs such as _sscanf and others in my codebase. This issue is not being shown in Xcode IDE either. I have attempted static analysis in Xcode using the approach: Product -> Analyze, but I am still unable to identify the mentioned issues. Can anyone please help me overcome this scenario and successfully pass the MOBSF test? Thanks in Advance

The customer requested a pen-test for this app, and they reported some issues related to buffer overflow and weak randomness functions
The customer requested a pen-test for this app, and they reported some issues related to buffer overflow and weak randomness functions. I reviewed the identified methods, but I couldn't find them in the code or third-party SDKs. We would like to know if you can review these methods to see if there is a possible solution or if you can guarantee that these functions are safe. They say that they applied a reverse engineering tool and it delivered our app compiled using this c/c++ functions that are considered unsafe. The tool used is: Ghidra (https://ghidra-sre.org/) These are methods reported by Ciber security team: Related to buffer overflow: Related to weak randomness functions:

App Icon Images issue in the Vision OS APP Stimulator for the last one
Dear Apple Developer Forum Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding an error I encountered while attempting to create a "Swift Basics " application using Xcode. Upon launching Xcode and starting a new project, I followed the standard procedure "/Users/zipzygames/Desktop/Swift Basics/Swift Basics/Assets.xcassets:./AppIcon.solidimagestack The last visionOS App Icon Layer with content, "Back", must exactly fill the image stack. Its current frame is {{0, 0}, {515.5, 640}} while the visionOS App Icon's size is {512, 512}. " I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by adding the 32 pixels and less 512 * 512 , but unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in resolving it. I am reaching out to the community in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or have expertise in troubleshooting Xcode errors. Any guidance, suggestions, or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Zipzy games

static analyzer error in std::sort
I'm getting a static analysis warning on the following code. I don't think it could be my error, but I guess it's more likely a static analysis false positive than a C++ standard library bug. The warning says "Method called on moved-from object of type 'std::basic_string'". Tested in Xcode 26.5 RC. Reported as FB22735405. #include <algorithm> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h> template < class traits = std::char_traits<char>, class Allocator = std::allocator<char> > struct UTF8StringLess { bool operator()( const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inFirst, const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inSecond ) const; }; template<class traits, class Allocator> inline bool UTF8StringLess<traits, Allocator>::operator()( const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inFirst, const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inSecond ) const { CFStringRef theFirst = ::CFStringCreateWithCString( nullptr, inFirst.c_str(), kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ); CFStringRef theSecond = ::CFStringCreateWithCString( nullptr, inSecond.c_str(), kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ); CFComparisonResult compResult = ::CFStringCompare( theFirst, theSecond, kCFCompareCaseInsensitive ); bool isLess = (compResult == kCFCompareLessThan); ::CFRelease( theFirst ); ::CFRelease( theSecond ); return isLess; } int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { std::vector<std::string> names{ "obey", "Zorro", "can" }; std::sort( names.begin(), names.end(), UTF8StringLess() ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }

Even after archiving and installing the app, it still crashes. According to the official documentation, Xcode 16 is supposed to support iOS 12, but this issue persists. I would like to know the possible reasons for this behavior.

How do I locate and this Bundle Error
❌ Could not find email_ai.py in the app bundle. Available files: [] The error above is what I’m encountering. I’ve placed the referenced file both in the project directory and inside the app. However, every time I remove and reinsert the file into the folder within the app, it prompts me to designate the targets—I select all, but this doesn’t resolve the issue. I’m unsure how to properly reference the file so that it is recognised and included in the bundle. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. this is my build phase: #!/bin/sh set -x # Prints each command before running it (for debugging) pwd # Shows the current working directory echo "$SRCROOT" # Shows what Xcode thinks is the project root ls -l "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts" # Lists files in the script folder export PYTHONPATH="/Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin" /Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin/python3 "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts/email_ai.py" echo "Script completed."

How to retrieve overall memory peak in C++
I'm trying to retrieve the overall memory peak of a process. I've looked into retrieving it through task_vm_info struct defined in task_info.h By logging the members of the struct, it seems neither resident_size_peak, internal_peak or ledger_phys_footprint_peak is matching what the peak memory value that's being detected by xcode instrument. Can anyone point me to the correct way to retrieve that peak value? Is it the summation of some of the fields in task_vm_info` or is there a more complicated algorithm involved in deriving that value?

How to fix: IPA BINARY CODE ANALYSIS in iOS swift
I received the MOBSF security check result PDF, where I found some "High" severity issues. 1.Binary makes use of insecure API(s) with high CWE: CWE-676: Use of Potentially Dangerous Function OWASP Top 10: M7: Client Code Quality OWASP MASVS: MSTG-CODE-8. The binary may contain the following insecure API(s): _sscanf, _memcpy, _fopen. 2.Binary makes use of the malloc function with high CWE: CWE-789: Uncontrolled Memory Allocation OWASP Top 10: M7: Client Code Quality OWASP MASVS: MSTG-CODE-8. The binary may use the _malloc function instead of calloc. I have utilized a static analyzer, but I am unable to identify the APIs such as _sscanf and others in my codebase. This issue is not being shown in Xcode IDE either. I have attempted static analysis in Xcode using the approach: Product -> Analyze, but I am still unable to identify the mentioned issues. Can anyone please help me overcome this scenario and successfully pass the MOBSF test? Thanks in Advance

The customer requested a pen-test for this app, and they reported some issues related to buffer overflow and weak randomness functions
The customer requested a pen-test for this app, and they reported some issues related to buffer overflow and weak randomness functions. I reviewed the identified methods, but I couldn't find them in the code or third-party SDKs. We would like to know if you can review these methods to see if there is a possible solution or if you can guarantee that these functions are safe. They say that they applied a reverse engineering tool and it delivered our app compiled using this c/c++ functions that are considered unsafe. The tool used is: Ghidra (https://ghidra-sre.org/) These are methods reported by Ciber security team: Related to buffer overflow: Related to weak randomness functions:

Suppressing C++ static analyzer in external C++ code?
I am including the glm library in my Xcode project and want to suppress this warning: /opt/extlibs/macosx/include/glm/./ext/../gtc/bitfield.inl:343:15: warning: Although the value stored to 'x' is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read from 'x' [deadcode.DeadStores] uint16 REG2(x >>= 1); ^ ~ Is there a way to do that via a #pragma or a #define or something else in the Build Settings?

App Icon Images issue in the Vision OS APP Stimulator for the last one
Dear Apple Developer Forum Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding an error I encountered while attempting to create a "Swift Basics " application using Xcode. Upon launching Xcode and starting a new project, I followed the standard procedure "/Users/zipzygames/Desktop/Swift Basics/Swift Basics/Assets.xcassets:./AppIcon.solidimagestack The last visionOS App Icon Layer with content, "Back", must exactly fill the image stack. Its current frame is {{0, 0}, {515.5, 640}} while the visionOS App Icon's size is {512, 512}. " I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by adding the 32 pixels and less 512 * 512 , but unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in resolving it. I am reaching out to the community in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or have expertise in troubleshooting Xcode errors. Any guidance, suggestions, or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Zipzy games
