I have recently restarted an old code base. The app uses App Groups to communicate with network and endpoint system extensions. For some reason, in Xcode > Target > Signing & Capabilities the app groups are showing up with red text. I feel the red signifies a problem, but I cannot figure out what it is. The app compiles and runs, but I feel there is problem that I am missing. Any idea why App Group names would be displayed in red?

Yes I know x code only works with macs but my computer recently took water damage and I don’t have money for another Mac so I’m just going to buy a windows for work but if there’s any way to run Xcode with windows I’d like to know please. Thanks in advance

For difficult reasons I won’t get into, I ended up manually downloading the latest iOS 26 simulator runtime. I now have a file named 78756498-8AB4-4E5A-986C-7AA435758657.aar copied to my Mac. How do I get this archive installed so Xcode 26 recognizes it as a proper simulator runtime component? All searching I‘ve done for manually installing simulators references dmg files and older versions of Xcode. There’s no mention of aar files. When I tried the command: sudo xcrun simctl runtime add ./78756498-8AB4-4E5A-986C-7AA435758657.aar I get the result: An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22): Error while creating AEA backend Invalid argument I tried to use Archive Utility to open the file but that just says it is unable to expand the file. I even tried renaming the file with a dmg extension and then tried mounting the file and I get the same “AEA backend” error. My Mac doesn’t have sufficient Internet access to let me download and install this normally through Xcode. I need to find a way to get this file installed manually.

I want to use a ci_script to change the CI_BUILD_NUMBER to a new value. But in XCODE CLOUD there seems to be no programmatic way to change it?

Is there a way to use CFBundleVersion instead of CI_BUILD_NUMBER from XCode Cloud's workflow on Web ? We would like to have control over the major and minor version numbers of the build from the workflow.

I have Xcode 26 on one Mac, but LM Studio running on another. LM Studio does not have an api key so I have provided "dummy-api-key" but whenever I try to connect, it gives the error "Models could not be fetched with the provided account details" I have the IP and port (1234) of LM Study The server in LM Studio is running. Has anyone got this to work? And if so, what details did you enter?

Summary: When running our iPad app on macOS (“Designed for iPad”), invoking UIPrintInteractionController intermittently fails to show a working print sheet. The same code works reliably on iPad or iOS devices and also on macOS pre 26. This regression started after updating to macOS Tahoe Version 26.0 (25A354) Steps to Reproduce: Launch the attached minimal sample on macOS (Designed for iPad). Tap “Print plain text” Expected Results: The print panel should appear and discover AirPrint printers reliably, as on iPad/iOS or previous mac versions. Actual Results: On macOS, the panel fails to appear. Mac version: macOS Tahoe 26.0 (25A354) xCode version: 26.0 (17A324) Sample Reproduction Code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Button("Print plain text") { printPlainText() } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .padding() } func printPlainText() { let text = "This is just a sample print" guard UIPrintInteractionController.isPrintingAvailable else { NSLog("Printing not available on this device") return } let info = UIPrintInfo(dictionary: nil) info.outputType = .general info.jobName = "Plain Text" let formatter = UISimpleTextPrintFormatter(text: text) formatter.perPageContentInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 36, left: 36, bottom: 36, right: 36) let ctrl = UIPrintInteractionController.shared ctrl.printInfo = info ctrl.printFormatter = formatter DispatchQueue.main.async { ctrl.present(animated: true) { _, completed, error in if let error { NSLog("Print error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { NSLog(completed ? "Print completed" : "Print cancelled") } } } } } Also I have added the following values to info.plist: <key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs local network access to discover AirPrint printers.</string> <key>NSBonjourServices</key> <array> <string>_ipp._tcp.</string> <string>_ipps._tcp.</string> <string>_printer._tcp.</string> </array>

In a new document-based macOS app project created in Xcode, some of the default system-provided menu commands appear without their standard icons in the menu bar. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Xcode, create a new macOS “Document App” project (using Swift/SwiftUI or AppKit template). 2. Build and run the project. 3. Open the app’s main menu bar and examine the default items such as New Document, Open…, Save, Duplicate, etc. Expected Results: System-provided menu items (e.g. Open…, Save, Duplicate) should display their standard SF Symbol–based icons automatically, as they do in TextEdit and other system apps. Actual Results: Some of these menu items display only text, with no icon namely: Services Open Recent Revert To Share This happens even though the items are the system-managed defaults generated by the document-based app template. Notes: • No code modifications were made — this occurs in a fresh, unedited template project. • Behavior seen on macOS 26.0 (25A354). • Xcode Version 26.0 (17A324) used.

Lately, I keep getting this warning when closing Xcode asking if I want to save the changes. Strangely enough, I have never received this before. I looked to see if I could disable and enable autosave. Unfortunately I have not found anything. Does anyone have any tips?

I am a developer working on iOS apps. I would like to report an issue occurring in iOS 26 beta 2. Our company has Enterprise account, and we are developing apps. When we distribute these apps, and install them on a device running iOS 26 beta2, apps install successfully, but apps crashed immediately after being launched. MDM Install Application When I install the app via Xcode and trust it, apps will run. Launchd job spawn failed This issue does not occur on versions prior to iOS 26. I would like to know if this is a problem that will be resolved in future updates, or if it is a policy change.

Developer Mode option is not visible in Privacy & Security section. Always invisible in Privacy & Security section after iOS 18.6 upgrade. I have done the reset iPhone and clear data many times but same issue i am getting in iOS device. Note* - When we plug the iPhone in Mac system using wire i did receive the message like - 'Trust the system'. How to show the developer mode option in iOS device? Kindly suggest.

I’m building a document-based macOS app using SwiftUI with an AppKit NSDocument. By default, when the window has no toolbar, the document title and proxy icon (with the edited state dot and standard saving controls) appear nicely centered in the title bar. However, as soon as I attach a toolbar - even an empty one - the document proxy moves to the leading edge of the title bar. Is there a way to keep the document proxy/title centered in a document-based SwiftUI app while also using a toolbar? Or is the left-alignment now the only supported behavior when a toolbar is present? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I have a strange problem. My code works perfectly on my iPhone, i.e. on a real iPhone, but when I upload the build version to TestFlight, it no longer works. I use React Native. The issue is as follows: I have created a code for Grid View that runs automatically when another person joins the stream. It works locally without any problems, but unfortunately the public version does not work. What could be the reason for this?

Upgrading from XCode 16 to 26, I redownloaded the simulators, and now I'm having a blank simulator choice that I cannot seem to do anything about. When pressing the + at the bottom, Xcode stops responding. Things I've tried; Reinstalling Xcode (after removing /devlopers) Changing minimum deployments (to any version) Changing iOS Deployment Target (to any iOS version) Any clues on what I'm missing here? It was working on XCode 16 yesterday. Images https://preview.redd.it/blank-simulators-xcode-26-v0-g7h0rkdt1npf1.png https://preview.redd.it/blank-simulators-xcode-26-v0-zze2zsuv1npf1.png

Hi everyone - I'm seeing an issue specifically on iOS26 where we instantiate a few storyboard items programmatically and pull their restoration identifier. On iOS26, these identifiers are null and cause a crash, but the assignments are on the storyboard and there has been no change to that logic. On iOS 18, for example, there is no crash and the identifiers are pulled properly. Anybody else seeing this?
