You do not have required contracts to perform an operation.
Hi, I need help with the error: “You do not have required contracts to perform an operation.” (ID: cc897baf-6551-474b-bbef-3dd5bdf89931) When I try to distribute an archived build from Xcode, App Store Connect shows a banner asking to review a new agreement. But when I click it, I’m redirected to Agreements, Tax and Banking, and there is no agreement to accept — the page is empty. I checked with the team, and none of us can see the agreement. Is it possible that the required agreement is available only to the Account Holder and not visible to Admin or Developer roles? Could you please clarify what exactly this error means and how we can locate the missing agreement? Thanks.

SPM Traits not working correctly with multiple targets in same Xcode workspace (App + App Clip)
Hi, I've just migrated to Swift Tools 6.2 and package traits, and I'm encountering an issue when using traits with multiple targets in the same Xcode workspace. Setup: Main iOS app target App Clip target Both consume the same local packages (e.g., UIComponents) What I'm trying to achieve: Main app imports packages without the COMPACT_BUILD trait App Clip imports packages with the COMPACT_BUILD trait enabled Package configuration (simplified): // UIComponents/Package.swift let package = Package( name: "UIComponents", platforms: [.iOS(.v18)], traits: [ .trait(name: "COMPACT_BUILD", description: "Minimal build for App Clips"), ], // ... targets: [ .target( name: "UIComponents", dependencies: [...], swiftSettings: [ .define("COMPACT_BUILD", .when(traits: ["COMPACT_BUILD"])), ] ), ] ) In the code: #if COMPACT_BUILD // Excluded from App Clip #endif The consumer packages: Main app's package imports without trait: .package(path: "../UIComponents") App Clip's package imports with trait: .package(path: "../UIComponents", traits: ["COMPACT_BUILD"]) The problem: When building the main app target, the COMPACT_BUILD compiler condition is unexpectedly active — even though the main app's dependency chain never enables that trait. It seems like the trait enabled by the App Clip target is "leaking" into the main app build. I confirmed this by adding #error("COMPACT_BUILD is active") — it triggers when building the main app, which shouldn't happen. If I disable the App Clip target from the build scheme, the main app builds correctly with COMPACT_BUILD not defined. I am also able to build the App Clip separately. Environment: Xcode 26.2 swift-tools-version: 6.2 iOS 26.2 Questions: Is this expected behavior with Xcode's SPM integration? Are traits resolved workspace-wide rather than per-target? Is there a workaround to have different trait configurations for different targets consuming the same package? Or do I need to fall back to separate package targets (e.g., UIComponents and UIComponentsCompact) to achieve this? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Package created with pkgbuild installs zero-byte file
Just recently, any pkg file that I create with pkgbuild will install the Payload's application as a zero-byte file in the /Applications directory. This has been working for years without issue for me. Here are the commands I am using with company specific items replaced: pkgbuild --analyze --root MyApplicationRootDirectory standalone.plist plutil -replace BundleIsRelocatable -bool NO standalone.plist pkgbuild --identifier MyIdentifier --version 1.0 --install-location /Applications --root MyApplicationRootDirectory --component-plist standalone.plist --sign 'Developer ID Installer: MyCompany (MySignId)' --timestamp installer.pkg Any ideas on what could be causing the issue? I have verified the following: The application being added to the pkg is both signed and notarized using the correct Developer ID Application certificate. The resultant pkg file is both signed and notarized using the Developer ID Installer certificate. Verified the pkg contents using "pkgutil --expand" to dump the contents. Verified the pkg's Payload contents by extracting the data using "cat Payload | gunzip | cpio -1". This results in an application file that is a binary match for file added in the "pkgbuild --root" argument. My application is the only file within the directory passed to the "pkgbuild --root" argument. There are no warnings in the System Settings / Privacy & Security Panel when running the package installer. I have a valid Mac Developer account. I am building the application and the pkg file on the same computer. Thank you for any insight.

ASWebAuthenticationSession: Form submit fails on TestFlight unless submitted through Keychain autofill
I'm experiencing a strange issue where ASWebAuthenticationSession works perfectly when running from Xcode (both Debug and Release), but fails on TestFlight builds. The setup: iOS app using ASWebAuthenticationSession for OIDC login (Keycloak) Custom URL scheme callback (myapp://) prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = false The issue: When using iOS Keychain autofill (with Face ID/Touch ID or normal iphone pw, that auto-submits the form) -> works perfectly When manually typing credentials and clicking the login button -> fails with white screen When it fails, the form POST from Keycloak back to my server (/signin-oidc) never reaches the server at all. The authentication session just shows a white screen. Reproduced on: Multiple devices (iPhone 15 Pro, etc.) iOS 18.x Xcode 16.x Multiple TestFlight testers confirmed same behavior What I've tried: Clearing Safari cookies/data prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = true and false Different SameSite cookie policies on server Verified custom URL scheme is registered and works (testing myapp://test in Safari opens the app) Why custom URL scheme instead of Universal Links: We couldn't get Universal Links to trigger from a js redirect (window.location.href) within ASWebAuthenticationSession. Only custom URL schemes seemed to be intercepted. If there's a way to make Universal Links work in this context, without a manual user-interaction we'd be happy to try. iOS Keychain autofill works The only working path is iOS Keychain autofill that requires iphone-authentication and auto-submits the form. Any manual form submission fails, but only on TestFlight - not Xcode builds. Has anyone encountered this or know a workaround?

XCTest doesn't return the elements in navigation bar after iOS 26 upgrade

Build keeps failing with PhaseScriptExecution error
I have a Unity AR project that I want to build for iOS. The build in Unity succeeds just fine, but when it opens in XCode, whatever I do, it keeps showing this error in GameAssembly: "Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code". This error also doesn't open when choosing "Reveal in Log". I have added the IL2CPP package in the Unity version, deleted and reentered scenes and no issue on Unity's side. On XCode I signed in with my developer account, tried deleting derived data, made a clean build and still the issue persists.

XCode will not allow access to Code Commit
I'm really sick of Apple and their BS kickbacks they get from github and the other source control outfits restricting what source control packages we can use inside of XCode. We have used Code Commit with AWS for YEARS! We are not switching but apple's Xcode will not allow us to add it as an account. We used to be able to use it, but Apple took away the GIT account setup so now you have to use one of their kickback outfits. This is complete BS Apple. Even AWS realized how important Code Commit is and made it available to everyone again and pledged full support going forward. How about you get off your collective sixes and do the same. I'd like an explanation on why you took away the one feature that allows us to use what works for us.

Xcode and Reading documents from a URL connection.
I have an Xcode app where currently txt files in the project display text data as a list. I can search through the lists and have buttons that will swap between different lists of information that you can look through. The next task is I have URL connections to docx files on a SharePoint site. I am trying to use an URLsession function to connect to the URL links to download the documents to the document directory then have the application read the doc information to then be displayed as the txt info would. The idea is that the docx files are a type of online update version of the data. So when the app is used and on wifi, the app can update the list data with the docx files. I have code set up that should access the URL files but I am struggling to figure out how to read the data and access from this Documents directory. I have been looking online and so far I am at a loss on where to go here. If anyone can help or provide some insight I would greatly appreciate it. I can try and provide code samples to help explain things if that is needed.

Cannot create ipa file in vs insiders publish with correct distribution profile
I can create an ipa file with vs using the wildcard bundle identifier but this is rejected by apple when I upload with the Transporter app saying invalid identifier and no distribution profile/certificate. When I create a new distribution profile with the correct XC identifier and distribution certificate and try to archive with visual studio publish says the bundle id is not a match for the distribution profile with iOS? This is a net 10 net maui project and my first build attempt

Attributes inspector in Xcode 26
It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

Provisioning Profile Creation Error
Hi, I am trying to update my apps and i couldn't do it, can anyone please help? this is what happened to me. Once my membership renewed, i couldn't compile my apps due to signing error. here is the error message: Xcode archive done. 31.7s Failed to build iOS app Error (Xcode): Communication with Apple failed: Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/ /Users/tony/vn246/ios/Runner.xcodeproj when I go to the portal developer.apple.com/account to create the Provisioning Profile manually then it said there is no device, and when i go into the Devices section then the machine uuid is added and it's there and registered, i had always been compiling with it before the old membership was expired. I tried to remove those and re-added and the error still persisted. P.S.: I renewed all my certificates (removed old and recreated new) thank you

Stale TBD Files Cause Runtime Crash When Framework Changes from Dynamic to Static
Stale TBD Files Cause Runtime Crash When Framework Changes from Dynamic to Static Summary When using EAGER_LINKING=YES, Xcode generates TBD files for dynamic frameworks. When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode doesn't remove the stale TBD, causing dyld: Library not loaded crash at runtime. Environment Xcode 16.4 (16F6), macOS Darwin 24.6.0, iOS Simulator 18.5 Steps to Reproduce Project Structure: MainApp (EAGER_LINKING=YES) ProjectA/SharedLib (dynamic, mh_dylib) ProjectB/SharedLib (static, staticlib) Steps: Build with ProjectA (dynamic framework) → TBD created in EagerLinkingTBDs Switch workspace to ProjectB (static framework) without cleaning DerivedData Build again → BUILD SUCCEEDED Run app → CRASH: dyld: Library not loaded Root Cause Xcode adds -F EagerLinkingTBDs before -F Build/Products: -F/.../EagerLinkingTBDs/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked FIRST -F/.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked SECOND The linker finds the stale TBD first and treats the framework as dynamic, even though the actual binary is now static. Evidence # SharedLib is static $ file SharedLib.framework/SharedLib current ar archive random library # But stale TBD still exists $ ls EagerLinkingTBDs/.../SharedLib.framework/ SharedLib.tbd ← STALE! # MainApp incorrectly references dynamic library $ otool -L MainApp.app/MainApp.debug.dylib | grep SharedLib @rpath/SharedLib.framework/SharedLib ← WRONG! Attempted Workarounds (All Failed) Workaround Result FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = "$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" "$(inherited)" Xcode still adds EagerLinkingTBDs first EAGER_LINKING = YES on static framework Build failure - empty TBD OTHER_LDFLAGS modifications Linker still uses TBD Expected Behavior When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode should remove the stale TBD file from EagerLinkingTBDs. Suggested Fix Remove TBD files when building static library targets Track MACH_O_TYPE changes and invalidate TBD files accordingly

KeyChain Sharing with App Extensions
Hi, We are trying to use Apple Security API for KeyChain Services. Using the common App Group : Specifying the common app group in the "kSecAttrAccessGroup" field of the KeyChain query, allowed us to have a shared keychains for different apps (targets) in the app group, but this did not work for extensions. Enabling the KeyChain Sharing capability : We enabled the KeyChain Sharing Ability in the extensions and the app target as well, giving a common KeyChain Access group. Specifying this in the kSecAttrAccessGroup field also did not work. This was done in XCode as we were unable to locate it in the Developer portal in Indentifiers. We tried specifying "$AppIdentifier.KeyChainSharingGroup" in the kSecAttrAccessGroup field , but this did not work as well The error code which we get in all these 3 cases when trying to access the Keychain from the extension is error code 25291 (errSecNotAvailable). The Documentation says this error comes when "No Trust Results are available" and printing the error in xcode using the status says "No keychain is available. The online Documentation says that it is possible to share keychain with extensions, but by far we are unable to do it with the methods suggested. Do we need any special entitlement for this or is there something we are missing while using these APIs? We really appreciate any and all help in solving this issue! Thank you

Unable to find identity (but have private key and certificate)
I'm unable to sign the an example application using xcode and "automatically manage signing". The error I'm getting is: CodeSign [...] (in target 'foobar' from project 'foobar') Signing Identity: "Apple Development: [xxxx] " /usr/bin/codesign --force --sign 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E -o runtime --timestamp\=none --generate-entitlement-der [filename] 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E: no identity found Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code However, I am able to see a certificate and a private identity on my keychain: % security find-certificate -aZ | grep -i 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E SHA-1 hash: 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E and % security find-key -s | grep -q 'Apple Development' && echo YES YES what is puzzling is that security does not find an identity: % security find-identity -p codesigning Policy: Code Signing Matching identities 0 identities found Valid identities only 0 valid identities found but XCode claims that everything is working fine. Anybody knows what might I be missing? I tried logging out, requesting new certificates, rebooting, moving them to another keychain, and asking to developer friends.

Alternatives to exports file for using Xcode frameworks in iOS
Hi, I have an iOS project with the following app targets: main iOS application a notification service extension 5 static libs containing some swift files with public methods 1 dynamic framework with above static libs as dependencies. The framework only contains 2 files - a default .h file and 1 .exp file. This exports file contains mangled-names of all the public methods that are exposed by the 5 static libs present as framework's dependencies. I obtained these symbols using the nm command for each static lib. The main iOS app target has 2 dependencies - the framework and the notification extension. The notification extension only depends on the framework. This setup works perfectly fine. I wanted to understand: If using the exports file is the only way to make this setup work? If not, what else can I do? What way does Apple recommend? According to my requirements, I only need at-most 2-3 functions to be exposed by the framework - thus using a exports file just for that seems to bug me. Thank you.

Shortcut to wrap selected lines in a #if/#endif
I'm looking for a way to make the following possible in Xcode (26.0 or later): I select one or more lines of code. I then enter a hotkey (or select a menu item) that results in adding the line: #ifdef SOME_MACRO before the selection and adding the line: #endif after the selection. Example: Start with the following lines of code: BOOL x = NO; int y = 4; NSString *str = @"Hello"; If I then highlight the int y = 4; line and use the proper hotkey or menu, the result would be: BOOL x = NO; #ifdef SOME_MACRO int y = 4; #endif NSString *str = @"Hello"; Is something like this possible in Xcode? I looked at code snippets but that doesn't seem to support wrapping existing code. I looked at the Xcode Settings under Editor and Shortcuts and didn't see a way to add such a custom shortcut.

I am trying to use an URLsession function to connect to the URL links to download the documents to the document directory then have the application read the doc information to then be displayed as the txt info would. The idea is that the docx files are a type of online update version of the data. So when the app is used and on wifi, the app can update the list data with the docx files. I have code set up that should access the URL files but I am struggling to figure out how to read the data and access from this Documents directory. I have been looking online and so far I am at a loss on where to go here. If anyone can help or provide some insight I would greatly appreciate it. I can try and provide code samples to help explain things if that is needed.

Cannot create ipa file in vs insiders publish with correct distribution profile
I can create an ipa file with vs using the wildcard bundle identifier but this is rejected by apple when I upload with the Transporter app saying invalid identifier and no distribution profile/certificate. When I create a new distribution profile with the correct XC identifier and distribution certificate and try to archive with visual studio publish says the bundle id is not a match for the distribution profile with iOS? This is a net 10 net maui project and my first build attempt

Attributes inspector in Xcode 26
It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

Provisioning Profile Creation Error
Hi, I am trying to update my apps and i couldn't do it, can anyone please help? this is what happened to me. Once my membership renewed, i couldn't compile my apps due to signing error. here is the error message: Xcode archive done. 31.7s Failed to build iOS app Error (Xcode): Communication with Apple failed: Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/ /Users/tony/vn246/ios/Runner.xcodeproj when I go to the portal developer.apple.com/account to create the Provisioning Profile manually then it said there is no device, and when i go into the Devices section then the machine uuid is added and it's there and registered, i had always been compiling with it before the old membership was expired. I tried to remove those and re-added and the error still persisted. P.S.: I renewed all my certificates (removed old and recreated new) thank you

Stale TBD Files Cause Runtime Crash When Framework Changes from Dynamic to Static
Stale TBD Files Cause Runtime Crash When Framework Changes from Dynamic to Static Summary When using EAGER_LINKING=YES, Xcode generates TBD files for dynamic frameworks. When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode doesn't remove the stale TBD, causing dyld: Library not loaded crash at runtime. Environment Xcode 16.4 (16F6), macOS Darwin 24.6.0, iOS Simulator 18.5 Steps to Reproduce Project Structure: MainApp (EAGER_LINKING=YES) ProjectA/SharedLib (dynamic, mh_dylib) ProjectB/SharedLib (static, staticlib) Steps: Build with ProjectA (dynamic framework) → TBD created in EagerLinkingTBDs Switch workspace to ProjectB (static framework) without cleaning DerivedData Build again → BUILD SUCCEEDED Run app → CRASH: dyld: Library not loaded Root Cause Xcode adds -F EagerLinkingTBDs before -F Build/Products: -F/.../EagerLinkingTBDs/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked FIRST -F/.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked SECOND The linker finds the stale TBD first and treats the framework as dynamic, even though the actual binary is now static. Evidence # SharedLib is static $ file SharedLib.framework/SharedLib current ar archive random library # But stale TBD still exists $ ls EagerLinkingTBDs/.../SharedLib.framework/ SharedLib.tbd ← STALE! # MainApp incorrectly references dynamic library $ otool -L MainApp.app/MainApp.debug.dylib | grep SharedLib @rpath/SharedLib.framework/SharedLib ← WRONG! Attempted Workarounds (All Failed) Workaround Result FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = "$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" "$(inherited)" Xcode still adds EagerLinkingTBDs first EAGER_LINKING = YES on static framework Build failure - empty TBD OTHER_LDFLAGS modifications Linker still uses TBD Expected Behavior When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode should remove the stale TBD file from EagerLinkingTBDs. Suggested Fix Remove TBD files when building static library targets Track MACH_O_TYPE changes and invalidate TBD files accordingly

KeyChain Sharing with App Extensions
Hi, We are trying to use Apple Security API for KeyChain Services. Using the common App Group : Specifying the common app group in the "kSecAttrAccessGroup" field of the KeyChain query, allowed us to have a shared keychains for different apps (targets) in the app group, but this did not work for extensions. Enabling the KeyChain Sharing capability : We enabled the KeyChain Sharing Ability in the extensions and the app target as well, giving a common KeyChain Access group. Specifying this in the kSecAttrAccessGroup field also did not work. This was done in XCode as we were unable to locate it in the Developer portal in Indentifiers. We tried specifying "$AppIdentifier.KeyChainSharingGroup" in the kSecAttrAccessGroup field , but this did not work as well The error code which we get in all these 3 cases when trying to access the Keychain from the extension is error code 25291 (errSecNotAvailable). The Documentation says this error comes when "No Trust Results are available" and printing the error in xcode using the status says "No keychain is available. The online Documentation says that it is possible to share keychain with extensions, but by far we are unable to do it with the methods suggested. Do we need any special entitlement for this or is there something we are missing while using these APIs? We really appreciate any and all help in solving this issue! Thank you

.confirmationDialog not working as expected in iOS 26.1
I'm trying to add a confirmationDialog to an app, so that the user can select an option from a menu that comes up from the bottom of the screen. This works perfectly for an iOS 18 simulator, but the behavior changes when the simulator is running iOS 26.1. Is this the intended behavior of .confirmationDialog in iOS 26.1?

Unable to find identity (but have private key and certificate)
I'm unable to sign the an example application using xcode and "automatically manage signing". The error I'm getting is: CodeSign [...] (in target 'foobar' from project 'foobar') Signing Identity: "Apple Development: [xxxx] " /usr/bin/codesign --force --sign 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E -o runtime --timestamp\=none --generate-entitlement-der [filename] 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E: no identity found Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code However, I am able to see a certificate and a private identity on my keychain: % security find-certificate -aZ | grep -i 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E SHA-1 hash: 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E and % security find-key -s | grep -q 'Apple Development' && echo YES YES what is puzzling is that security does not find an identity: % security find-identity -p codesigning Policy: Code Signing Matching identities 0 identities found Valid identities only 0 valid identities found but XCode claims that everything is working fine. Anybody knows what might I be missing? I tried logging out, requesting new certificates, rebooting, moving them to another keychain, and asking to developer friends.

Alternatives to exports file for using Xcode frameworks in iOS
Hi, I have an iOS project with the following app targets: main iOS application a notification service extension 5 static libs containing some swift files with public methods 1 dynamic framework with above static libs as dependencies. The framework only contains 2 files - a default .h file and 1 .exp file. This exports file contains mangled-names of all the public methods that are exposed by the 5 static libs present as framework's dependencies. I obtained these symbols using the nm command for each static lib. The main iOS app target has 2 dependencies - the framework and the notification extension. The notification extension only depends on the framework. This setup works perfectly fine. I wanted to understand: If using the exports file is the only way to make this setup work? If not, what else can I do? What way does Apple recommend? According to my requirements, I only need at-most 2-3 functions to be exposed by the framework - thus using a exports file just for that seems to bug me. Thank you.

Show device's provisioning profiles
In Xcode's (version 16.1) "Devices and Simulators" window pressing the device's context menu item "Show Provisioning Profiles..." does nothing: no new window, no message, nothing. How can I fix this?

Shortcut to wrap selected lines in a #if/#endif
I'm looking for a way to make the following possible in Xcode (26.0 or later): I select one or more lines of code. I then enter a hotkey (or select a menu item) that results in adding the line: #ifdef SOME_MACRO before the selection and adding the line: #endif after the selection. Example: Start with the following lines of code: BOOL x = NO; int y = 4; NSString *str = @"Hello"; If I then highlight the int y = 4; line and use the proper hotkey or menu, the result would be: BOOL x = NO; #ifdef SOME_MACRO int y = 4; #endif NSString *str = @"Hello"; Is something like this possible in Xcode? I looked at code snippets but that doesn't seem to support wrapping existing code. I looked at the Xcode Settings under Editor and Shortcuts and didn't see a way to add such a custom shortcut.
