macOS Sequoia/Xcode 16.2 - Catalyst App Missing Tab Bar
My Objective-C Catalyst app when built with Xcode 16.x/iOS 18 does not have a visible Tab Bar when run on Sequoia. App starts up in first tab, but there is no way to access other tabs. The same app when run on macOS Sonoma (or macOS Catalina) has a normal Tab Bar. The app has an initial View UITabBarController with 3 tabs. The main tab is a UiSplitViewController. Minimum macOS deployment 10.5. If app is built on Sonoma with Xcode 15.x/iOS 17 the Tab Bar is normal on macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and Catalina. I've tried without success: if (@available(macCatalyst 18.0, *)) { self.tabBarController.tabBarHidden = false; } else { // Fallback on earlier versions } I wonder if this console log message has anything to do with the problem: CLIENT OF UIKIT REQUIRES UPDATE: This process does not adopt UIScene lifecycle. This will become an assert in a future version.

Enterprise Vendor Id changing when it shouldn't
Hi All, Really weird one here... I have two bundle ids with the same reverse dns name... com.company.app1 com.company.app2 app1 was installed on the device a year ago. app2 was also installed on the device a year ago but I released a new updated version and pushed it to the device via Microsoft InTunes. A year ago the vendor Id's matched as the bundle id's were on the same domain of com.company. Now for some reason the new build of app2 or any new app I build isn't being recognised as on the same domain as app1 even though the bundle id should make it so and so the Vendor Id's do not match and it is causing me major problems as I rely on the Vendor Id to exchange data between the apps on a certain device. In an enterprise environment, does anyone know of any other reason or things that could affect the Vendor Id? According to Apple docs, it seems that only the bundle name affects the vendor id but it isn't following those rules in this instance.

Why can't Xcode projects be opened in multiple workspaces
So Xcode has projects. And I breakup my code/libraries/targets into those. So why after 20 years of Xcode, can a workspace, that holds projects not display the same project opened in another workspace? The workspace redirects all output the project would normally generate in DerivedData to a completely different folder by default. What this means is I have to shut one workspace, and then open the other workspace with a different set of projects to see the ones that are shared. The workspace can't build because it can't open the project shared with another one that is open. VS sln files don't have this issue, so why do workspace files.

No such module 'DeviceManagement'
I'm working on the companion iOS app for my purpose-built MDM system. when I use the following in a .swift file: import DeviceManagement I get the build issue: No such module 'DeviceManagement' When I attempt to add the framework in the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content settings, DeviceManagement doesn't even show up in the available frameworks. Alll the documentation I can find suggests that is the correct framework to import, but I'm new to this and not sure if I'm just missing something. Some AI help is suggesting that the culprit might be v16.x of Xcode, but I don't know enough to prove that correct or not. Any ideas on why Xcode believes there is no such module? Is there documentation that might help me learn how to make that framework available for my project?

Issue with Swift 6 migration issues
We are migrating to swift 6 from swift 5 using Xcode 16.2. we are getting below errors in almost each of our source code files : Call to main actor-isolated initializer 'init(storyboard:bundle:)' in a synchronous non isolated context Main actor-isolated property 'delegate' can not be mutated from a nonisolated context Call to main actor-isolated instance method 'register(cell:)' in a synchronous nonisolated context Call to main actor-isolated instance method 'setup()' in a synchronous nonisolated context Few questions related to these compile errors. Some of our functions arguments have default value set but swift 6 does not allow to set any default values. This requires a lot of code changes throughout the project. This would be lot of source code re-write. Using annotations like @uncheck sendable , @Sendable on the class (Main actor) name, lot of functions within those classes , having inside some code which coming from other classes which also showing main thread issue even we using @uncheck sendable. There are so many compile errors, we are still seeing other than what we have listed here. Fixing these compile errors throughout our project, would be like a re-write of our whole application, which would take lot of time. In order for us to migrate efficiently, we have few questions where we need your help with. Below are the questions. Are there any ways we can bypass these errors using any keywords or any other way possible? Can Swift 5 and Swift 6 co-exist? so, we can slowly migrate over a period of time.

Persistent Sandbox Denials When Building with Capacitor and CocoaPods in Xcode
I am a solo developer building a cross-platform voice assistant app using Capacitor (with HTML, JS) and Xcode for the iOS version. The app is called "Echo Eyes," and it already functions well as a Progressive Web App (PWA). However, the iOS build has been completely blocked due to persistent sandbox permission errors from macOS during the CocoaPods framework embedding phase. This issue has caused severe disruption to my project and personal well-being, and I am writing to formally request assistance in identifying a clear solution. I am not a beginner and have followed all known best practices, forums, and Apple guidance without success. What I’ve Built So Far: Fully working PWA version of the app (voice input, HTML/JS interface) Capacitor initialized with ID: com.echo.eyes.voice Capacitor iOS platform added with CocoaPods App runs fine until Xcode reaches: [CP] Embed Pods Frameworks The Exact Problem: Sandbox: bash(12319) deny(1) file-read-data /Users/Shared/projects/Echo_Mobile/ios/App/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-App/Pods-App-frameworks.sh Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code Clarification: This is not an HTML/JS issue. The failure occurs in Xcode long before web assets are embedded into the bundle. The shell script /Pods-App-frameworks.sh cannot be read due to macOS sandbox restrictions. Everything I’ve Tried: Gave Xcode and Terminal Full Disk Access Ran: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine on the entire Pods directory Added /bin/bash and /bin/sh to Full Disk Access (after confirming the exact shell via $SHELL) Attempted to disable Gatekeeper via Terminal: sudo spctl --master-disable (confirmed not effective without GUI toggle) Tried relocating project to /Users/Shared/projects/ Cleaned build folder, removed derived data, reinstalled pods Debugged shell usage with: echo "▶️ Embedding under shell: $SHELL" in the [CP] Embed Pods Frameworks script Attempted to grant shell access to Documents Folder, Desktop, and more via Files & Folders Current State: Despite following all known and recommended steps, Xcode continues to return the same sandbox error. The shell script that embeds the CocoaPod frameworks is denied permission to read its own contents by macOS. What I Am Asking For: Is this a known issue in current versions of macOS or Xcode regarding sandbox denial for shell execution inside Pods? Is there a recommended method to grant /bin/bash or /bin/sh permission to read and run these scripts under Xcode without compromising system security? Is moving the project outside /Users (e.g. to /Projects) the only real workaround? Are there official Apple workarounds or entitlements available for developers encountering this? Personal Note: This issue has caused significant emotional and physical distress. I’m building this app as a personal healing tool and companion. I’ve poured months of work into this and done everything I can to follow Apple’s development guidelines. I’m not asking for hand-holding — only a clear, respectful response confirming whether this is expected behavior and what can be done to resolve it. Thank you for your time and understanding.

Can you use an external macOS device as an Xcode run destination?
Just wondering if it is possible to configure a secondary macbook to act as a run destination in Xcode, similar to how you would configure an iPhone as a run destination. I have tried connecting my device via USB-C and I can see that my macbook detects the second macbook via USB but it does not show up when trying to add devices in Xcode. I suppose this flow might not be supported?

Landscape safe area is incorrect when presenting SKStoreProductViewController
Hi. If the app is in landscape only and when the SKStoreProductViewController is presented, the safeArea changes to what looks like a portrait mode safe area. When the SKStoreProductViewController is dismissed, the safeArea does NOT revert back to the original values. Is there a way to force the safeArea to "reset"? I've submitted some bug tickets through Apple Feedback but I haven't received any response about it. The below code will pop up the SKStoreProductViewController and if you have a UIView that is constrained to the safe area, then you can visibly notice that the safe area is changed and doesn't go back. I have tested this on iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 Pro and in the Simulators. The incorrect behavior happens on those and probably more. Thanks. #import "ViewController.h" #import &amp;lt;StoreKit/StoreKit.h&amp;gt; @interface ViewController () @property (nonatomic, strong) SKStoreProductViewController *productViewController; @end @implementation ViewController - (IBAction)buttonTapped:(id)sender { self.productViewController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init]; NSDictionary *parameters = @{ @"id" : @"6443575749" }; [self.productViewController loadProductWithParameters:parameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError * _Nullable error) { [self presentViewController:self.productViewController animated:YES completion:^{ // presented // The panel that is constraint to the safe area visibly shows that the safe area is no longer correct. }]; }]; } @end

Workspace with multiple targets for same framework
Hi ! I'm currently stuck with an issue on Xcode, I'll try explain to the best I can :-) I have a workspace (that I need to keep that way, I can't split projects) that contains multiple projects. I have 2 frameworks : Core and Draw. Draw depends on Core. So far so good. I needed to create a test application that can be modular and link my framewok, but also other drawing frameworks. To that extend, I created a CardLIbrary framewok, and a CardAdapter framewok, and I linked them into the test application. Test App └── DrawCardAdapter │ └── CardAdapter │ └── CardLibrary │ └── Core │ └── TCA (SPM) │ └── Draw │ └── Core Here, all dependencies are local ones if not stated otherwise (for the SPM). CardLibrary is a framework that generates only UI (linked to Core for logging purposes, nothing fancy). I also added TCA which is a SPM dependency, it may generate some issues after. CardAdapter is an abstraction for CardLibrary. Basically, it acts as an interface between CardLibrary and Test Application. DrawCardAdapter is the actual implementation of CardAdapter using local Draw framework. Why so complex ? Because I need to be able to do this: Test App └── ExternalDrawCardAdapter │ └── CardAdapter │ └── CardLibrary │ └── Core │ └── TCA (SPM) │ └── ExternalDrawFramework With this architecture, I can create a new ExternalDrawCardAdapter that implents the CardAdapter logic. This new framework does not relies on my Draw framework, and yet, I can still generate a test application that visually looks and feel like all others, but use a completely different drawing engine underneath. To do that, the Test App code only uses inputs and outputs from CardAdapter (the protocol), not concrete implementations like DrawCardAdapter or ExternalDrawCardAdapter. But to be able to make it work, I have 2 test ap targets : a DrawTestApp and a ExternalDrawTestApp. All code files are shared, except a SdkLauncher that is target specific and acutally loads the proper implementation. So the SdkLauncher for DrawTestApp is linked to the DrawCardAdapter (embed and sign) and loads DrawCardAdapter framework, whereas the ExternalDrawTestApp is linked to the ExternalDrawCardAdapter (embed and sign) and loads ExternalDrawCardAdapter framework. Now it looks like this (I only show local stuff othewise it would be too complicated :D) So far so good, this works well. Now, for the part that fails. My Draw and Core frameworks are frameworks that I release for my customers (Cocoapod), and I wanted to be able to test my productions frameworks with the test app (it's that actual purpose of the test app : being able to test development and released SDKs) To do so, I duplicated every target and removed local dependency for a cocoapod dependency. All targets were named -pod, but the actual module and product name are still the same (I tried differently, it did not work either, I'll explain it later). Test App └── DrawCardAdapter │ └── CardAdapter │ └── CardLibrary │ └── Core │ └── TCA (SPM) │ └── Draw │ └── Core │ Test App Pod └── DrawCardAdapter-pod │ └── CardAdapter-pod │ └── CardLibrary-pod │ └── Core-pod │ └── TCA (SPM) │ └── Draw-pod │ └── Core-pod Once again, it's only targets, every project would look like CardAdapter └── CardAdapter └── CardAdapter-pod It continues to use local targets, except for the DrawCardAdapter-pod that actually loads Draw and Core from a Podfile instead of using the lkocal frameworks. But now for the part that fails : even though TestApp-pod does not link any local frameworks, I get a warning Multiple targets match implicit dependency for product reference 'Draw.framework'. Consider adding an explicit dependency on the intended target to resolve this ambiguity. And actually, Xcode ends up packaging the wrong framework. I can check it but showing in the app the Draw framework version, and it's always the local one, not the one specified in the podfile. For the record, I get this message for all 3 frameworks of course. I tried sooooo many things, that did not work of course: renaming the -pod frameworks so that the names are different (I had to rename all imports too). It works for all local frameworks (Lilbrary and Adapter basically), but not for Draw and Core (since I don't have -podversions of thoses framewoks of course). Creating a new local workspace that only handles -pod versions. Does not work since as we work as a team, I have to keep the shared schemes, and all workspaces see all targets and schemes. I also tried with a separate derived data folder, but I end up with some compilation issues. It seems that mixing local, cocoapod and spm dependencies inside the same workspace is not well handled) using explicit Target Dependenciesfrom the build phase. I end up with some compilation issues creating local podspecs for Library and Adapter. It fails because TCA is linked with SPM and apparently not copied when using podspecs. To the few ones that stayed so far, thanks for your patience :D I hope that @eskimo will drop by as you always were my savior in the end :D :D

Objective-C headers build fine with swift but not with Xcode
On my M4 Mac running macOS 15.5 using Xcode 16.4 & Xcode CLT 16.4, Swift code in my Swift Package Manager 5.9 project (https://github.com/mas-cli/mas) builds fine against some included Objective-C headers via the following command line: swift build -c release But cannot find modules for the included Objective-C headers when building inside Xcode 16.4 or with the following command line on the same Mac: xcodebuild -scheme mas -configuration Release -destination platform=macOS,arch=arm64,variant=macos The error is: Sources/mas/AppStore/AppleAccount.swift:9:16: error: no such module 'StoreFoundation' How can I get Xcode / xcodebuild to work? Note that the project is normally built by running: Scripts/build which runs: swift build -c release after running the following script, which must be run before any build (swift, Xcode, or xcodebuild) because it generates a necessary file (Sources/mas/Package.swift): Scripts/generate_package_swift I've tried moving the Objective-C headers into include subfolders of their existing module folders, using double quotes instead of angle brackets for the #import statements, having module.modulemap files in the include subfolders or their parent module folder, and moving the module folders one level up the file hierarchy, to no avail. I've also tried various changes to the root-level Package.swift (not the generated one deeper in the hierarchy, which isn't inclined in the build configuration), like making separate library targets for each of the Objective-C modules, various swiftSettings & linkerSettings, etc. Maybe some of those changes would have helped, but maybe they were in incorrect combinations. Thanks for any help.

Can’t Enable Developer Mode on Apple Watch – No Prompt Appears
Hi, I’m currently developing a watchOS app and ran into an issue where I can’t enable Developer Mode on my Apple Watch. Device info: Apple Watch Series 9 (watchOS 10.4) Paired with iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 17.4.1) Xcode 15.3 (macOS 15.5, Apple Silicon) Issue: When I try to run the app on my physical watch device, Xcode prompts that Developer Mode needs to be enabled. However, there is no approval request on the Apple Watch, and no Developer Mode option appears under Settings → Privacy &amp; Security. I’ve already tried the following: Rebooting both devices Unpairing and re-pairing the watch Erasing and setting up the watch again Signing out and back into my Apple ID Using the latest Xcode version (15.3 and 16.3 both tested) Running clean builds and checking provisioning profiles Attempting install via both simulator and physical device Still no luck — the app will not launch on the Apple Watch due to Developer Mode being disabled, and the option is missing entirely from Settings. I visited an Apple Store Genius Bar, but they couldn’t help and told me to contact Developer Support. I’ve already submitted a support request, but in the meantime I wanted to ask here in case anyone else has experienced this and found a workaround. Thanks in advance.

Why is Xcode so slow and bad?
I just want to rant why is Xcode such a bad ide and I wish Apple can do a better job on Xcode. Here's why: The preview is so slow. Most of the times it's just faster for me to test on a real device. It is so slow, and many times I need to force quite after it's being unresponsive for sometimes. When I'm working on larger projects, the loading time becomes extremely slow especially when there's other clients that might be reading the same files like a Git client or simply iCloud. The breakpoint is so slow. I don't know why, is it an iOS thing? But when I'm on ASP.Net the breakpoints are super fast. For Xcode it takes a long time to pause and show data. It's so big I don't know why it is so hard for Apple to make their ide better. The community has been unsatisfied with Xcode for a long time. There's many tricks on the internet that you can find to help you resolve some issues with your project that's actually related to Xcode.

Xcode JSONDecoder playground fails with 'The LLDB RPC server has crashed.
If I create a playground project that uses a JSONDecoder I get the following error. The LLDB RPC Server has crashed. The crash log is located at ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and has a prefix 'lldb-rpc-server'. Please file a bug and attach the most recent crash log. I have raised feedback for this, FB17702087, but I hope that there may be a workaround.

Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) App developed in Flutter Flutter 3.29.3 Test iPhone device: iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5 I have an app that requires Camera access.
