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?

Hi everyone, (you can answer in french) I’m french-rookie in xcode, and I have a problem: I’m trying to choice my custom font to add it in my Main.storyboard button, but it not works. I have my « Font provided by application » line in my Info.plist, with the name of my font in [0] (See images below) When I’m on storyboard button, I chose « custom » in font selector, then display font list but my custom font doesn’t appear. I already tried to install the font in my mac, but still stucked, nothing change 😭 Could you help me please? Thanks a lot (I specify that I scrupulously followed the way of doing explained on the Apple official page: Adding a Custom Font to Your App )

The other day the XCode account had some error that I so that I decided to log out and in again. But when trying to log in to my apple account I get this "Bad URL" with the description "Try signing in again or contact Apple Developer Support to resolve account access". This only happens on the XCode on my work computer. I can log in to XCode on other computers with the same account. This happens only on this computer and with any account that I try to log in to. Obviously there is some cache file somewhere that I need to delete. But I am not finding it.

I added a new liquid glass icon built with Icon Composer to my app. It works and looks great on iOS 26 but Xcode complains that required icon files for older versions are missing. I still have the old AppIcon in my Asset Catalog but it seems like it's not being used. How do I configure Xcode to use the old icons for iOS 18 and the new icon for iOS 26?

The iPad Pro on iPadOS 26 now operates on the same class of silicon as Apple’s entry-level Macs. It ships with M-series processors, 8GB of unified memory, support for multiple resizable windows, a menu bar, and proper external display connections. The device already has the foundation required for professional software development. The only gap is the absence of Xcode. Making the full version of Xcode available on iPad Pro would not take away from the Mac. Large and resource-intensive projects will still require the power of MacBook Pro and Mac Studio. What it would do is allow smaller and mid-sized projects to be developed directly on iPad Pro, which the hardware is fully capable of handling. That dynamic is complementary, not cannibalizing. Developers would continue to buy Macs but would also buy iPad Pros for portability and flexibility. The revenue upside is clear. Lowering the entry barrier means more developers enrolling in the Apple Developer Program at $99 per year, creating predictable recurring subscription income. A wider developer base leads to more apps reaching the App Store. Even if many are small, Apple benefits from every transaction through its revenue share. This strengthens the services business, which already delivers the company’s highest margins. There is also a direct hardware impact. Once Xcode is available, iPad Pro will be recognized as a legitimate professional development device. That drives more unit sales of a high-margin product line and increases attachment rates for accessories like the Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil, and external monitors. Instead of eroding Mac sales, the effect is expansion. Developers will own both devices. The case is straightforward. The hardware is ready. The operating system is ready. Enabling full Xcode on iPad Pro would expand the developer funnel, grow recurring subscription revenue, increase App Store volume, and boost high-margin hardware and accessory sales. It is a decision that benefits developers, strengthens the ecosystem, and maximizes profit.

Hello all, I saw the update of xcode26 on the App store, and from the compatibility information, I saw that xcode26 supports macos15.6 and higher. I'm not sure if xcode26 can be installed on macos 15. I can't install xcode26 on macOS 15.7.

Like I said, Xcode always selects the most recently used device for debugging, but when that device disconnects from the Mac, Xcode takes a long time to load and you can’t dismiss it. What a stupid feature! Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a way to resolve it? Thank you very much!

Hello, when building and signing my application in a Github actions workflow, I am facing an issue on the latest version of xCode (16.4). This issue is resolved by downgrading to 16.3. My CI/CD pipeline is running headless and installing provisioning profile to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles.

Hi everyone, I’ve run into a strange localization issue with macOS document-based apps in SwiftUI/AppKit. I created a standard document-based macOS app in Xcode (SwiftUI template) and added a French localization to the project. All system-generated menu bar commands (File → New, Close, Print, etc.) are correctly translated into French… except for “Save”, which remains in English. To rule out problems in my own code, I created a fresh, unmodified document-based app project in Xcode, and immediately added French localization without touching any code. Same result: all commands are translated except “Save”. This suggests the issue isn’t specific to my app code, but either the project template, or possibly macOS itself. My environment • Xcode version: 16.4 • macOS version: 15.6.1 Sequoia] • Swift: Swift 6 Questions 1. Has anyone else seen this issue with the “Save” command not being localized? 2. Is this expected behavior (maybe “Save” is handled differently from other menu items)? 3. If it’s a bug in the template or OS, is there a known workaround? Thanks for any insights P.S. Please note that I'm a total beginner

While preparing automated screenshots with Xcode UI tests for the iOS 26 release, I noticed that this simple line of code app.buttons["myTabItem"].tap() doesn't always work, both on iPhone and iPad Simulator. In fact, it rarely works. Even when repeating the same test, mostly it fails on that line, but a few times it works and I can see the tab item change in the simulator. My main view looks like this: TabView { MyTab1() .tag(tag1) .tabItem { Label("label1", systemImage: "image1") } MyTab2() .tag(tag2) .tabItem { Label("label2", systemImage: "image2") .accessibilityIdentifier("myTabItem") } The error I get is Failed to tap "myTabItem" Button: No matches found for Elements matching predicate '"myTabItem" IN identifiers' from input In the given list of buttons, I see the tab items with their labels, but none of them seem to have an identifier, while other buttons have the correct identifier. I wonder how this can only sometimes work. I tried isolating the issue by iteratively commenting out parts of the SwiftUI code, but unfortunately the behaviour seems erratic. When a change results in the issue not happening anymore, undoing the last X changes often causes the issue to stay away, even with configurations that previously had the issue. I've already spent almost a whole day trying to find the root cause, but with such apparently random behaviour it has proven impossible. Of course, I cannot reproduce the issue with a fresh test project, so the only way to reproduce it with 95% probability is running my original project. Has anyone had the same issue, or does anyone know how I could debug this to find out what causes my UI test to not be able to tap another tab item?
