When signing in to GitHub.com in Xcode, it shows what scopes must be set when creating a personal access token. However, when signing into GitLab.com, it doesn't show what scopes should be selected.

I've been investigating a persistent 401 Invalid Bearer Token error with Claude Agent in Xcode 26.3 on an Intel Core i9 Mac and wanted to share my findings here in case others are affected. ENVIRONMENT Hardware: Intel Core i9 (x86_64) Xcode: 26.3 (17C529) macOS: 26.3 (25D125) THE ISSUE Claude Agent fails with "Failed to authenticate. API Error: 401 - Invalid bearer token" on every prompt, despite the account showing as Signed In under Settings → Intelligence. The error persists after signing out and back in, and the token is confirmed valid and unexpired in Keychain. WHAT WORKS Claude Code in Terminal works perfectly on the same machine with the same credentials The basic Claude Sonnet 4.5 coding assistant in Xcode works fine Only Claude Agent is affected ROOT CAUSE HYPOTHESIS Xcode appears to be installing an ARM64 Claude binary on Intel Macs silently, with no warning or fallback. This binary likely fails to execute on x86_64 hardware and that failure is being misreported upstream as a 401 authentication error — which is why the error has nothing to do with the actual credentials. APPLE'S RESPONSE Feedback report FB22141224 was closed as 'Works as currently designed' with the explanation that Claude Agent requires the Neural Engine found on Apple Silicon. However, Claude Agent calls Anthropic's remote API over the network and performs no on-device AI processing — the Neural Engine is not involved. The fact that Claude Code works fine on this same Intel Mac with the same credentials demonstrates this clearly. WORKAROUND Using an Anthropic API key instead of OAuth resolves the issue but requires additional paid billing outside of an existing Claude.ai subscription. Has anyone else experienced this on either Intel or Apple Silicon? I'd be particularly interested to hear if Apple Silicon users are also affected, as the Developer Forums suggest this may not be limited to Intel Macs (thread/816369). Any input from Apple DTS engineers would be greatly appreciated.

In SwiftUI 6 when developing for MacOS in Xcode 26, there does not seem to be a way to provide an automatic increment of the current build number, i.e. "Current Project Version" in settings. Does anyone have a solution that works in the latest version of Xcode. i.e. 26? All the solutions that I have tried are based on older versions that involve running scripts to update the build file, (.xcconfig) or the .info.plist file which simply will not work in the current configuration.

Hello, I’m encountering an issue retrieving crash reports from the AppStore Connect using Xcode 26.4.1 (17E202). I’m signed in with multiple Apple IDs, including the one required to fetch crashes. When I select the destination application and attempt to download crashes in Organizer, a small warning icon appears in the top right corner. Clicking on it displays the following error: "{AppleID email}" failed with error: There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 500, 20364 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.. I already tried to remove my account and sign in again multiple times and also restarted Xcode but nothing seems to work. I wonder whether this is some new bug introduced in the latest Xcode version or rather local issue on my machine. Any help appreciated.

I'm trying to manage multiple Command Line Tools versions side-by-side (e.g., 16.2 and 26.2). I renamed the CLT directory to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools-26.2.0 and set: xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools-26.2.0 or DEVELOPER_DIR=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools-26.2.0 Both result in: c++: error: unable to find Xcode installation from active developer path "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools-26.2.0" It appears CLT only works at the fixed path /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, unlike Xcode which can be at any location. Is this by design? Is there a supported way to use multiple CLT versions in parallel, similar to how multiple Xcode versions can coexist?

Earlier in iTunes Connect we had a settings for enable bitcode which will recompile our app. This setting is no longer active/present for iOS , could you please confirm? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-14-release-notes Starting with Xcode 14, bitcode is no longer required for watchOS and tvOS applications, and the App Store no longer accepts bitcode submissions from Xcode 14. Xcode no longer builds bitcode by default and generates a warning message if a project explicitly enables bitcode: “Building with bitcode is deprecated. Please update your project and/or target settings to disable bitcode.” The capability to build with bitcode will be removed in a future Xcode release. IPAs that contain bitcode will have the bitcode stripped before being submitted to the App Store. Debug symbols can only be downloaded from App Store Connect / TestFlight for existing bitcode submissions and are no longer available for submissions made with Xcode 14. (86118779)

I have started to have issues with SwiftUI previews of iOS apps with projects under the Documents folder. I have experimented that in Xcode 26.4 and I am still seeing it in 26.5. The error is: Cannot preview in this file. Failed to launch xyz.abc.TestApp Looking at the diagnostics, Xcode gets a permission denied error when trying to open /Users/me/Documents/path/to/TestApp/DerivedData/TestApp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/TestApp.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/TestApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ContentView.1.preview-thunk-launch.o Error details below. Note that I have set DerivedData folders relative to the projects' roots. Additional information: I get errors on freshly created iOS projects, just trying to preview the default ContentView. Xcode has full disk access set in System Preferences > Privacy & Security. I have cleaned build folders, deleted the simulators, Xcode itself, cleared various caches, restarted and reinstalled Xcode to no avail. Checking Editor > Canvas > Use Legacy Previews Execution did not fix it either. Apps run fine in Simulator. System info: macOS 26.4.1, Xcode 26.5 (17F42), MacBook Pro M1 and Mac Studio M2 Max. I have found two ways to fix the problem while keeping DerivedData relative to the project's root: create the project in some other “unprotected” directory (/Users/me/Developer in my case), or uncheck Editor > Canvas > Automatically Refresh Canvas. Either way makes previews work again. Possibly related: SwiftUI preview not working in Xcode 26 when “Automatically Refresh Canvas” is enabled Xcode 13.2.1 - Simulator works, Preview doesn't Excerpt from diagnostics: | | [Remote] JITError | | | | ================================== | | | | | [Remote] CouldNotLoadInputObjectFile: Could not load object file during preview: /Users/me/Documents/TestApp/DerivedData/TestApp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/TestApp.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/TestApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ContentView.1.preview-thunk-launch.o | | | | | | path: /Users/me/Documents/TestApp/DerivedData/TestApp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/TestApp.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/TestApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ContentView.1.preview-thunk-launch.o | | | | | | ================================== | | | | | | | [Remote] XOJITError | | | | | | | | XOJITError: '/Users/me/Documents/TestApp/DerivedData/TestApp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/TestApp.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/TestApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ContentView.1.preview-thunk-launch.o': Operation not permitted

I’m building a SwiftUI application using SwiftData for local storage. When loading large lists with images, scrolling performance becomes slower. What are the best practices to optimize SwiftData fetch performance in SwiftUI apps?

After updating to Xcode 26.4 (public release), I’m no longer able to paste from the Mac clipboard into the Simulator. Automatically Sync Pasteboard is on, and I have content on the clipboard, but paste doesn’t work—Cmd+V does nothing, and there’s no Paste option in the context menu. Is anyone else seeing this?

When running parallel Swift Testing tests that each create their own in-memory ModelContainer, the first xcodebuild test run succeeds but all subsequent runs fail with DefaultStore save failed validation errors — unless DerivedData is deleted between runs. Setup Each test suite creates an isolated in-memory container with a unique name: ModelConfiguration(UUID().uuidString, schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: true) The @Model class has non-optional properties (e.g. var v: String, var entityDicMoveNr: Int) that are always set in init. Symptoms on second run SwiftData.DefaultStore save failed with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1560 "Multiple validation errors occurred." NSValidationErrorKey=v, NSValidationErrorValue=null NSValidationErrorKey=entityDicMoveNr, NSValidationErrorValue=null NSValidationErrorKey=historyBackup, NSValidationErrorValue=null The errors appear before test code executes — during SwiftData's internal DefaultStore auto-save. Properties that are always initialized in Swift show as nil in the Core Data layer. What we verified Each run uses a fresh xctest process (different PIDs) Container creation succeeds (no errors in our ModelContainer init) The @Model init always sets all fields — confirmed with debug prints Deleting DerivedData before each run fixes it (but forces a full rebuild) What didn't help Using ModelContext(container) instead of container.mainContext Setting autosaveEnabled = false on both mainContext and custom contexts Using /dev/null URL instead of isStoredInMemoryOnly: true build-for-testing + test-without-building Clearing only Logs/Test or TestResults subdirectories Why not run via swift test? We can't fall back to swift test because our project uses RealityKit custom components, which silently fail to decode in CLI swift test. So xcodebuild test is our only option, making the DerivedData workaround especially costly. Workaround Delete DerivedData before each xcodebuild test invocation. Environment macOS 15.5, Xcode 16.4, Swift Testing with @Suite @MainActor parallel test suites. Question Is there a way to fully isolate in-memory ModelContainer instances so that no metadata leaks between xcodebuild test runs without requiring a full DerivedData clean?

I’m trying to build and run a brand-new Xcode project created from the Audio Unit Extension App template for local macOS development on a brand-new Mac, and I’m blocked by a signing/keychain issue. Environment: macOS on a brand-new Mac Xcode 26.4.1 Build version 17E202 Personal Team Targeting My Mac Project type: Audio Unit Extension App Main symptom: During build/run, Xcode repeatedly shows this prompt: codesign wants to access key "Apple Development: Sam Magnant (...)" in your keychain It asks for the login keychain password. Important detail My current Mac password successfully unlocks the login keychain manually in Keychain Access every time. So the issue seems specific to Xcode / codesign using the Apple Development private key, not a general inability to unlock the keychain. What I’ve already tried Reset the default keychain Logged out and back in after reset Changed my Mac account password to a new password Confirmed the login keychain unlocks manually with the current Mac password Deleted and recreated local Apple Development certificate/private key where possible Removed and re-added my Apple account in Xcode Checked the private key in Keychain Access Confirmed the private key exists under the Apple Development certificate Confirmed Allow all applications to access this item is already checked on the private key Removed App Groups and other extra capabilities to simplify the project Tried security set-key-partition-list -S apple-tool:,apple:,codesign: -s -k '' ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db Tried switching the project to simpler signing configurations, then switched back to standard Apple Development signing What’s confusing Xcode appears to know about an Apple Development certificate/private key Keychain Access shows the identity under login > My Certificates The login keychain unlocks fine manually But codesign still prompts, and the machine reports 0 valid identities found Questions What would cause Keychain Access to show the Apple Development identity, but security find-identity -v -p codesigning to report 0 valid identities found? Is this most likely a broken certificate/private key pairing, trust chain issue, or something specific to Personal Team signing? Is there a recommended way to fully repair the local Apple Development signing identity on the current macOS user account without creating a new macOS user? Are there known issues with the Audio Unit Extension App template and Personal Team local development on macOS?

I'm hitting a persistent build/upload failure when trying to submit my first app for review. Hoping someone has seen this specific issue. Setup App: ShiftSelf (an AI-guided self-coaching app) Bundle ID: app.shiftself.mobile Apple Developer account: active, paid, fully verified (Switzerland) App Store Connect: app created, Version 1.0 in "Prepare for Submission" Build pipeline: Expo-based (using a hosted Expo build service for the IPA upload) The error Every upload attempt fails with: exportArchive Error: Downloading App Information This has now occurred 14 times over the past 5 days, with no configuration changes between attempts. What is already configured correctly Two auto-renewable subscriptions (Monthly $9.99, Annual $59.99) — both in "Ready to Submit" state Subscription Group with English localization ("ShiftSelf Pro") created Both subscriptions attached to Version 1.0 under In-App Purchases and Subscriptions Privacy Policy URL, Terms URL, and Account Deletion URL all live and reachable DSA verified, Banking and Tax information active App icon, screenshots, and metadata all uploaded Age rating questionnaire completed (4+) App Privacy answers fully submitted No pending agreements in Account → Agreements, Tax, and Banking What I have already tried Recreated the subscription group localization Detached and reattached subscriptions to the version Multiple rebuild attempts at different times of day and across multiple days Verified all metadata fields are filled Apple Support engagement Currently working with Apple Developer Support (Case #102880953484). Guidance so far: Subscriptions must be "Ready to Submit" → done Subscriptions must be attached to the version → done Both confirmed. Builds still fail with the same error. Questions for the community Has anyone else seen "exportArchive Error: Downloading App Information" specifically during the metadata fetch step of an automated upload? Is there a known App Store Connect API issue that causes the metadata download to fail silently for first submissions? Would uploading the IPA manually via Apple Transporter bypass this step entirely, or does Transporter rely on the same metadata fetch? Is there any way to get more verbose logs on what specific "App Information" the export step is attempting to download? Any pointers from anyone who has hit this would be hugely appreciated. Happy to share more details if useful. Thanks 🙏

Hi, I'm setting up Xcode and after updating MacOS to 15.2 and Xcode to 16.2, I cannot download the Predictive Code Completion Model. I've done some research and I haven't found any solution, specially since most people suggest that it randomly fixed itself, which for me hasn't been the case. I've tried restarting my Mac, uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode multiple times, I've also reinstalled MacOS from Recovery and haven't found any success (I'm also not running Xcode inside a VM, as I've seen this can cause some problems in this case). This is the error that I receive when I attempt to download the model: And here are the details: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDELanguageModelKit.IDEModelDownloadAdapter.(unknown context at $11eba9a90).DownloadError error 3.)

I'm using that repeating timer for processing information repeatedly: actor RepeatingTimer { private var task: Task<Void, Never>? private var isPaused = false func start(duration: Double, onTick: @escaping () -> Void) { task?.cancel() // Cancel any existing timer isPaused = false task = Task { while !Task.isCancelled { // Check if paused if !isPaused { onTick() } // Sleep for the interval try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(duration)) } } } func pause() { isPaused = true } func resume() { isPaused = false } func stop() { task?.cancel() task = nil } }` Yet when I call it from another actor with: await timer.start(duration: interval, onTick:{ self.process() }) I get: Sending 'self'-isolated value of non-Sendable type '() -> ()' to actor-isolated instance method 'start(duration:onTick:)' risks causing races in between 'self'-isolated and actor-isolated uses Is there some more stable option for managing repeating timers, or how to solve this error?

Description Xcode 26.4.1 crashes immediately on launch with a code signature error. The issue exists on macOS 26.4.1 and persists after upgrading to macOS 26.5 (25F5058e) and attempting 26.6 beta.

System Information Model: MacBook Pro (M1 Pro, MacBookPro18,1) macOS: 26.5 (25F5058e) — issue started after upgrade from 26.4.1 Xcode: 26.4.1 (24909.0.3) SIP: Enabled Developer Mode: Enabled Additional Notes Other applications launch normally. This appears to be a system-level compatibility issue introduced in macOS 26.5's stricter code signing validation on mapped files / chained fixups. Request Is there a known workaround? Is Apple preparing a fix in a future macOS 26.5 patch or Xcode update? What additional information would help? Thank you!

I'm trying to setup a macOS 26 build environment in a VM (using UTM and the virtualization framework Apple provides). I have Xcode 26 installed and have logged into my Apple ID and verified that the team and other configuration looks fine in Xcode settings. When trying to build the macOS app, I see errors saying the VM's device ID has not been registered. I have confirmed that the device ID is registered both in the Provisioning portal AND the downloaded .provisionprofiles (in Library > Developer > Xcode > UserData). This problem appears on multiple targets (e.g. the main app and extensions). If I try to manually provision the app, using the Provisioning portal, I can build the product, but it will not launch because of Gatekeeper issues. Finally, signing to run locally doesn't work either. As the app launches, frameworks refuse to load because Team IDs don't match. With ad hoc provisioning, there are no Team IDs. I've come to the conclusion that this just isn't possible. Which is a shame because I need to support products with a build environment on macOS 15 and cannot move over to macOS 26 yet. I suspect many developers outside of Apple are in a similar position.

I just noticed this but am curious: Why does Xcode use list.bullet SF Symbol to toggle the "navigators" (sidebar) instead of sidebar.left? For the inspectors Xcode uses "sidebar.right" but I don't understand why the left sidebar uses a different icon from the right sidebar? Shouldn't the left sidebar icon match the right sidebar (just flipped)? Am using the wrong SF Symbol in my app to toggle the sidebar? Is the list.bullet the recommended symbol for this now? Every other app seems to use sidebar.left.

Hello, I have Xcode Cloud set up on a project with multiple targets. One target is a Framework that hosts a Swift Package that's used to host modules. I recently added a large number of files (at least 20,000) to some test targets and I can no longer access Xcode Cloud from the Cloud Reports section. Xcode prepares to analyze the project and then fails with Could not load Xcode Cloud Data Removing the files from the package results in the project being analyzed successfully. So it appears to be some sort of a timeout issue. Thank you

I have a brand new iPhone 15 with iOS 17, paired with a watch on WatchOS10. In devices and simulators, the iPhone 15 and Watch 10 device show up as disconnected (with the globe icon I think is what it is?) and if I click on either of them, that icon changes to a spinner, and the main window says "Xcode will continue when the operation completes", but it NEVER completes. This makes the device not usable for development. In addition, I have updated my iPad to iOS17, and it doesn't even show up at all in the devices and simulator list, even though it is enabled for developer mode. I have toggled developer mode off and on (thus rebooting). I have quit and restarted Xcode. I have even rebooted the Mac. Nothing helps. This is incredibly frustrating.

Currently, when creating a new Git remote in Xcode, the visibility for the new repository is set to public by default. It would be safer if it were set to private by default. FB22673051 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/797
