Description On iOS 26.1, a ToolbarItem placed in .keyboard is no longer exposed to the accessibility hierarchy. As a result: VoiceOver cannot focus or activate the toolbar button XCUITest cannot discover the element, making the UI impossible to test TextEditor() .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .keyboard) { Button("Done") { /* action */ } } } This worked correctly on previous iOS versions. The button appears visually but is missing from both VoiceOver navigation and XCUI accessibility queries. Steps to Reproduce Create a new SwiftUI project. Use a simple text field with a keyboard toolbar button. Run on an iOS 26.1 device or simulator. Focus the text field to show the keyboard. Turn on VoiceOver and attempt to navigate to the toolbar button. Run an XCUITest attempting to locate the button

Hello, I am trying out Xcode Cloud for the first time. I could connect to Github in the initial setup and had a few failed builds (package resolution error), which I resolved fairly quickly. Now whenever I am trying to build, I get the following error: Xcode Cloud is unable to connect to the repository “<respository-name>”. Reconnect the repository to resume builds. I am unable to remove the connection from settings as well because it's stuck in a loading state. Is there a way to fix this?

I am reporting a regression/behavioral change in the SwiftUI layout engine when building with Xcode 26 (iOS 26 SDK). In previous versions (Xcode 15/16 and iOS 17/18 SDKs), a TabView using .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) correctly respected the coordinate space when combined with .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical). However, when compiling with the iOS 26 SDK, the internal views of the TabView render "out of bounds," pushing content vertically beyond the intended safe area boundaries and causing UI overlapping/clipping - an abnormal behavior. TabView(selection: $selectedIndex) { ForEach(0..<data.count, id: \.self) { index in nextPreviousHandlerView(id: data[index]) .tag(index) } } .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical) // Causes vertical "jump" out of bounds in Xcode 26

I am trying to sign my Mac app to use Network Extensions capability. But every time I create a profile it displays that to me: on the other hand on the website it displays this to me:

When completing signing on Xcode, it shows the following error message "No certificate for team '' matching 'Developer ID Application' found" I have already followed the steps to generate a certificate from keychain and made a new certificate on developer portal, along with its associated provisioning profile. Viewing "Manage Certificate" window shows the newly created certificate, but Xcode seems to not be able to locate it.

I'm attempting to use Cloud Signing to export the Release version of 3 different apps for App Store, as described in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10204/ The process completes successfully, and appears to be signed correctly, with a newly-created certificate in the developer portal of type "Distribution Managed". When I upload to App Store Connect however, I see the following error for several third-party Swift packages, distributed as frameworks: Validation failed (409) Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “MyApp.app/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/MyFramework” is not properly signed. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing. If I have a manually created Distribution certificate installed in the keychain at the point of export, the same archive is signed with that certificate, and is accepted by App Store Connect without issue. The xcodebuild command I am using (roughly): xcodebuild -exportArchive \ -archivePath "$ARCHIVE_PATH" \ -exportPath "$EXPORT_PATH" \ -exportOptionsPlist "$EXPORT_OPTIONS" \ -authenticationKeyPath "$API_KEY" \ -authenticationKeyID "$API_KEY_ID" \ -authenticationKeyIssuerID "$API_KEY_ISSUER" \ -allowProvisioningUpdates The plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>method</key> <string>app-store-connect</string> <key>teamID</key> <string>$TEAM</string> <key>uploadSymbols</key> <true/> <key>signingStyle</key> <string>automatic</string> </dict> </plist> Is what I’m trying to do supported? Is this a bug?

Hi, I’m seeing an unexpected change in how XCTFail behaves in UI tests after updating Xcode. I use the following helper method: `func waitForExistance(file: StaticString, line: UInt) -> Self { if !(element.exists || element.waitForExistence(timeout: Configuration.current.predicateTimeout)) { XCTFail("couldn't find element: \(element) after \(Configuration.current.predicateTimeout) seconds", file: file, line: line) return self } else { return self } }` In Xcode 16.4, this worked as expected: – when an element wasn’t found, XCTFail was triggered, but the test continued running, allowing my retry logic to execute. After updating to Xcode 26.1 / 26.2 - the test now immediately aborts after XCTFail, without executing the next retry. The logs show: `t = 113.22s Tear Down t = 113.22s Terminate com.viessmann.care:81789 *** Assertion failure in -[UITests.Tests _caughtUnhandledDeveloperExceptionPermittingControlFlowInterruptions:caughtInterruptionException:whileExecutingBlock:], XCTestCase+IssueHandling.m:273 Test Case '-[UITests.Tests test_case]' failed (114.323 seconds). Flushing outgoing messages to the IDE with timeout 600.00s Received confirmation that IDE processed remaining outgoing messages` It looks like XCTFail in Xcode 26 is now treated as an unhandled developer exception, which stops the test execution immediately, even when it’s called inside a helper method. This was not the case in earlier versions. My questions: Is this a regression in XCTest? Or an intentional change in how XCTFail behaves in newer Xcode versions? Should failures now be reported differently (e.g., using record(.init(type: .assertionFailure, …))) if I want to continue the test instead of aborting it? I would like to restore the previous behavior where the failure is logged without terminating the entire test, so my retry mechanism can still run. Has anyone else run into this after upgrading? Thanks in advance! If you’d like, I can also add recommended workarounds that actually work with Xcode 16.4 (e.g., replacing XCTFail with a non-terminating issue record).

When launching my app (and even a bran new app) on the simulator in debug, the app is installed on the simulator, launched but freezed. Even with a basic hello world app. Any idea?

Hi there, I just re-install 26.2, but I got many issues regarding to SwiftUI's components. How can I fix it? Do I need download or install something else?

I'm trying to run my app on my iPhone and XCode is unable to detect it. Versions (as of time of writing, these are all the latest versions) XCode: 15.0.1 iOS: 17.1.2 macOS: Sonoma 14.1.2 What I've tried Updating all hardware to the latest versions. Restarting all hardware. Clearing cache/derived data. Using different USBC ports/cables. Using the XCode 15.1-Beta 3 (the latest beta) Clearing trusted computers and re-trusting Disabling Multipath Networking (solution for someone else on the dev forums) Creating a brand new xcode project. Disabling all wifi/bluetooth and reconnecting Using different wifi networks Calling mac support (they directed me back here) Scouring forums What happens I start by disconnecting my phone from my computer, clear trusted computers, restart xcode, and start (basically) from a completely blank slate. First I open XCode to my project. Then I connect my iPhone via USBC. I see that XCode says "iPhone not eligible while pairing in progress" (or something like that). I see on my phone that I must trust this computer, I hit trust, I enter my phone's passcode, then that disappears on my phone, and in XCode the message about eligibility disappears. I then click on the device selector to choose between either a simulator or a hardware device and under hardware I only see a message that says "No eligible devices connected to my mac". If I open the "Manage Run Destinations" organizer I see all the simulators there in the simulators tab, but when I go to the Devices tab, I see nothing. Sometimes when I go through this process, I can get a banner to appear up top, but still no device shows up on the left. The banner will show me that it is indeed my iPhone, but it will be missing information like "Serial Number" or "Capacity". Here's a screenshot of what I see. Keep in mind, this banner up top does not always show up when I go through this process. iPhone CAN be detected on my other laptop When I do this exact same thing on my other laptop, everything works just fine. Here are the specs I'm running on that laptop. (using the same cable/wifi network/etc) XCode 15.0.1 macOS: Ventura 13.6.1 iPhone 17.1.2 (I'm using the same iPhone) The only difference here being the macOS version. However, the problem started on my "broken" computer while I was running a previous major macOS version. This problem is actually what prompted my to do a system update to Sonoma. Please for the love of god, halp!!!

I am using the Xcode 26.3 Claude Agent feature. Claude Agent can’t access on my Desktop folder when they are specified as chat attachments because I accidentally denied access to that folder when it was first requested. I had earlier read the Xcode 26.3 release notes, so I was somewhat aware of this known issue, but I didn't make the connection when the Desktop access prompt appeared. I wasn't expecting the permissions prompt, because the regular (non-agent) Xcode Claude is able to freely access Desktop files when they are specified as Xcode coding assistant chat session attachments. Claude Agent isn’t listed in macOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders, so I can’t fix the permissions there. The TCC database contains these rows: % sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db \ "SELECT service, client, datetime(last_modified, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') as last_modified FROM access ORDER BY last_modified DESC" | head -2 kTCCServiceSystemPolicyDownloadsFolder|/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude|2026-02-07 15:19:25 kTCCServiceSystemPolicyDesktopFolder|/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude|2026-02-07 13:38:07 but I can’t seem to reset them using tccutil, apparently because /Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude is not a valid bundle identifier: % tccutil reset all '/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude' tccutil: No such bundle identifier "/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude": The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.) I would like for Claude Agent to be able to access my Desktop folder. What is an appropriate next step? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hello, I am facing a recurring issue with Xcode iOS simulator (preview). I want to preview a SwiftUI for iOS in Xcode, but the Simulator app fails to boot up. I receive the following error in Xcode: Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update. I have tried the following: Completely uninstalling XCode and deleting all developer data, then reinstalling everthing again. Shutdown and restart Deleting all developer data, deleting XCode cache Reinstalling iOS Simulator runtimes and reconfiguration of simulators. Tested using different simulator and runtime versions. "xcrun simctl --set previews delete al" My reported issues: FB20987522 FB20485454 Thank you Best regards, Jens

Hey, so I wanted to pull from the Github project repository and XCode asked me login again. Forgot my password so I tried a wrong one and now it keeps asking for my Username and Access token, when I actually just want to login with my password. Doesn't let me choose between the too, not even when adding the account through preferences. Anyone know how to just login with password and the reason for this -pardon me- absolutely idiotic choice of not letting the user choose?

I am editing my iOS project in Xcode 16 and want to use the "Swift Compiler - Upcoming Features" section of the build settings to selectively enable the new Swift 6 language features. I have read the instructions for doing this and have dowloaded an Apple sample project and can see that section under the project and target-level Build Settings in the sample project However, when I open my Xcode project in XCode 16 that section does not appear. Is there any way for me to influence how Xcode 16 displays the build settings? In fact, no "Swift Compiler" sections appear at all under my project Build Settings (All | Combined). There is a "User-Defined" section that has the Swift Version, Compilation Mode and Optimization level. The project itself is several years old and was on a very old project version. I have upgraded my project document format to "Xcode 16" but it made no difference. I have compared my project and the sample project in a text editor and both seem to have similar structure. I tried removing unused and outdated settings from my project but that also had no effect. Is there an alternative to deleting my project file and adding the source files to it? I have a large project with multiple targets so that would be something I'd rather not do.

My project is complete, I successfully compile the application, but when I try to run it on my simulator it gives an error, stating that the architecture is incorrect, even though it is parameterized for ARM architecture. Note: the application runs on my iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello everyone, I’m stuck with an App Store Connect issue and would really appreciate any insight from the community. I am unable to submit my app for review due to the following persistent error: “Unable to Add for Review – There are still preview uploads in progress.” What makes this particularly confusing is that there are no previews currently uploading. Here is everything I have already tried: Deleted all App Preview videos and all screenshots Confirmed Media Manager shows no active uploads Re-uploaded App Preview videos fully compliant with Apple specs: H.264 AAC stereo audio Constant 30 FPS Correct resolution Uploaded a new build with a higher build number (Build 3) Waited more than 24 hours after upload Logged out / logged in, refreshed, tried multiple browsers and sessions Confirmed TestFlight build upload completed successfully Despite all of this, the error persists and also prevents: Adding the app for review Creating a new app version (the “Add Version” button does not appear) Apple Developer Support has suggested submitting a higher build number, which I have done, but the issue remains. At this point, it seems like a stuck / ghost App Preview upload job on the App Store Connect backend. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so: How was it resolved? Did Apple need to manually clear or reset something on their side? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I’ve created a document type for my app and set it up in the Info Configuration in Xcode. This all works as expected: Implemented with the Transferrable API and ShareLink, I can share an app’s file via the Files app or Notes and then import the file via a Share extension and the fileImport swiftUI api. My question is regarding Messages, specifically. It appears as a ShareLink option and I’m able to send my app’s document type via a message, but I’m unable to open it or share it (internally, with my app), other than being able to forward or delete it. If I copy the file, I can’t access it within my app (it’s still stored in the Messages private bundle) and startAccessingSecurityScopedResource returns false as expected. The message does detect the right icon, so it’s recognizing the custom document type. If my Share Extension, exported document type, and transferable implementation is configured correctly, should I be able to open a file for my app shared via Messages? Is this an allowed action? I get various answers from AI, and I can’t test this in the Simulator on pre-26 devices.

On macOS 26.2 (Tahoe), the Preview app fails to render many USDZ models correctly. The issue appears inconsistent: • Some USDZ files open normally in Preview • Some USDZ files open but the viewport turns completely black (no geometry, no material, no lighting) • All the same files open correctly when opened using “Open With → Xcode” This was not the behavior on macOS 15.7.2, where the exact same USDZ files rendered consistently in Preview without failures.
