Filed FB24179855 for this. Posting here so others hitting similar limitations can track and/or reference it (Apple's triage reportedly weighs duplicate count). Issue <stdbit.h>, the C23 standard header for bit-manipulation utilities (stdc_leading_zeros, stdc_count_ones, stdc_bit_width, etc.) from C23 §7.18, is not present in the macOS SDK libSystem. Worth noting this is a libc/SDK gap, not a compiler gap. Apple Clang accepts -std=c23 fine, and <stdckdint.h> (also C23, also library-level, e.g. ckd_add) is already present and working correctly. So C23 library headers are clearly being landed in libSystem incrementally. stdbit.h just hasn't made it in yet. If anyone's found a workaround (other than falling back to __builtin_clz/__builtin_popcount etc.) or has visibility into whether this is scheduled, would be good to hear. Repro #include <stdbit.h> int main(void) { return stdc_leading_zeros((unsigned)0); } $ /usr/bin/cc -std=c23 repro.c repro.c:1:10: fatal error: 'stdbit.h' file not found 1 | #include <stdbit.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated.

Since 2026-07-28 I have received no crash reports at all — neither in the Xcode Organizer nor in App Store Connect. Before that date crash reports arrived regularly, and had done so consistently for the past year. This does not look like a filter or display artifact: The Organizer Crashes tab is empty for every filter range. App Store Connect shows no crashes for the same period. Crash reporting did not taper off. It went from arriving normally to nothing from one day to the next, and has stayed at nothing since. A third-party crash reporter in the same app still records fatal crashes, including within the last two days. Devices are crashing; the reports are not arriving at Apple. Reproduces in Xcode 26.6 and in Xcode 27.0 beta 4, so it is not specific to the beta or to a single Xcode installation. Already ruled out, none of which made any difference: Apple Developer Program License Agreement is accepted. Age Rating declaration is complete. Xcode account removed and re-added, certificates re-checked. Developer System Status logged an App Store Connect performance issue on 2026-07-29, 09:25–13:25 PDT, marked resolved. The timing is close to the onset, and crash reporting does not appear to have resumed since. Filed as FB24131907. Feedback Assistant shows "Recent Similar Reports: None", so as of today there is apparently no comparable report on file. Colleagues with unrelated apps on separate accounts are seeing the same thing starting at the same date, which is why I am posting rather than only filing. If you are affected, please reply with your FB number and the date your crash reports stopped. Several accounts showing the same onset date is what rules out per-app causes.

I have a project that builds fine in macOS 26 with Xcode 26. On macOS 27 b4 and Xcode beta, the same project can't build because of a framework that should be pulled from a Swift Package from a package-registry (named Registry, for example below), hosted on JFrog. I have the registry set up and have the token in keychain. The resolution of the packages works. But when I build, I get error like this: error: Missing package product 'Registry.Package_Package.Package' (in target 'Target' from project 'Project') . The real package should just be 'Registry.Package'. Any help with that? Is it a bug?

while resizing screen on mac, start getting this weird error [API] cannot add handler to 3 from 3 - dropping All lazyVgrids fail to show afterwards then app crashes if you keep resizing. This error started with macOS Ventura. Any help much appreciated.

I have this local agent using Qwen 3.6 (the version that is ~17 GB). Last time I tried using this a couple months ago it worked ok. Now the agent frequently does not know how to edit a file. It takes its proposed changes and completely overwrites the entire source file with the change instead of just modifying the portion of the source code. Sometimes the agent thinks it doesn't have permission to make a change and wants me to copy and paste code. Is there an Xcode skill provided somewhere that I can use with the Agent so it knows how to work in this environment properly? Currently I have it set up via "Chat" with "Tools Enabled" and "Automatically apply changes" is on.

I am testing SFSpeechRecognizer using the en_US locale. When the iPhone Simulator’s system language is set to Japanese, SFSpeechRecognizer.isAvailable returns false for en_US, so speech recognition is unavailable. As far as I have tested, this issue does not occur on iOS Simulator 26.2 or earlier. Is this a Simulator-specific issue, or is it a behavior change that could also occur on physical devices? Has any additional setup become necessary to use speech recognition in Simulator? I then changed the iPhone Simulator’s system language to English. After doing so, SFSpeechRecognizer.isAvailable returned true for en_US. However, starting a recognition task still failed immediately with kLSRErrorDomain Code=300, “Failed to initialize recognizer.” The following error was returned: Error Domain=kLSRErrorDomain Code=300 "Failed to initialize recognizer" UserInfo={ NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to initialize recognizer, NSUnderlyingError={ Error Domain=kLSRErrorDomain Code=300 "Failed to create recognizer from=/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<DEVICE-UUID>/data/private/var/MobileAsset/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_UAF_Siri_Understanding/purpose_auto/ c079bfa6b8856202dc8cb2135fef3b06229ced6e.asset/AssetData/mini.json" UserInfo={ NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to create recognizer from=/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<DEVICE-UUID>/data/private/var/MobileAsset/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_UAF_Siri_Understanding/purpose_auto/ c079bfa6b8856202dc8cb2135fef3b06229ced6e.asset/AssetData/mini.json } } } I have not observed either of these issues on iOS Simulator 26.2 or earlier: With the Simulator language set to Japanese, the en_US recognizer does not become unavailable.

Hi everyone, I recently updated to Xcode 26.0 and noticed that the “Extract Subview” refactoring option seems to be missing. Now, in Xcode 26, the only options I see under Editor -> Refactor -> are: Extract to Selection File Extract to Method Extract to Variable Extract All Occurrences But there’s no Extract Subview as there was before. Was Extract Subview intentionally removed in Xcode 26? Or is it hidden behind a new menu location or renamed?

ご指定の挨拶や結びの言葉をすべて除外した、本文のみの英文です。 I am writing to inquire about the debugging workflow for background processing in recent versions of Xcode. In previous versions of Xcode, we were able to test the behavior of background fetches using the "Simulate Background Fetch" option under the Debug menu. However, this menu item is no longer available in the latest Xcode environment. Our application requires executing background tasks, such as automatically transferring images captured during background transition to a remote server. We are currently in the process of migrating our background structure to the latest BackgroundTasks framework (BGTaskScheduler) in accordance with the recommendations in the official documentation. Now that the GUI menu item has been removed, could you please provide the official guidelines or recommended workflow for simulating and debugging BGAppRefreshTask and BGProcessingTask on the iOS Simulator? Specifically, I would like to know if executing specific LLDB commands while the process is paused is the only supported method to simulate these events during development.

Is there currently an option to make generated asset symbols public? If not, would it be possible to set the generated asset symbol so they are public. It's quite common to have an apps design system implemented in a separate framework. Currently the generate assets symbols is useless for this as they can't be access in the framework consumer. It would be great to add it to this new dropdown in Xcode 16 or along side it. (113704993 in the release notes) So the options would be Internal, Public and Off. This should affect the symbols, the extensions and the framework support. (There's a post on the swift forums about this as well here: https://forums.swift.org/t/generate-images-and-colors-inside-a-swift-package/65674)

Device Details: MBP M2 Pro AND MBP M3 Pro macOS 26.3 (25D125) Xcode Version 26.3, 26.2, 26.1 (I reinstalled all 3 of these after the macOS update) BUG: Xcode hangs indefinitely when performing Source Control operations (Pull or Push) on a Git repository that uses SSH authentication. The same repository works correctly when performing the equivalent Git operations from the Terminal using the Git CLI. The issue appears to be specific to Xcode’s internal Source Control integration. When the operation is triggered from Xcode, the UI shows a spinning progress indicator and never completes. Terminal Git commands (git fetch, git pull, git push) complete normally using the same SSH key and repository. A hang sample taken during the issue shows the Xcode main thread blocked in Source Control authentication and fingerprint handling code paths, including: IDESourceControlUIHandler IDESourceControlFingerprintManager handleAuthenticationFailure showFingerprintAlertOnWindow This suggests Xcode may be waiting on a Source Control authentication or host fingerprint UI flow that never resolves. SSH connectivity itself is functioning correctly: ssh -T git@bitbucket.org and ssh -T git@github.com both authenticate successfully. git ls-remote, git fetch, git pull, and git push all work correctly from Terminal. No Source Control accounts are configured in Xcode Preferences. Authentication relies entirely on SSH keys. Steps to Reproduce Configure an SSH key for Git access (e.g., Bitbucket or GitHub) and confirm it works via Terminal. Clone or open an existing Git repository that uses SSH (git@host:repo.git). Open the project/workspace in Xcode. In Xcode, attempt a Source Control operation such as: Source Control → Pull Source Control → Push Observe that Xcode displays a spinning progress indicator and does not complete the operation.

Due to massive amount of shared state in my project I cannot really use swift testing parallelization in my tests, so my idea was to embed all suites into single one with .serialized and then run them on several simulators to speed up the tests. I ran tests with xcodebuild ... -parallel-testing-enabled YES -parallel-testing-worker-count 2, but swift testing suites seemed to be executed on just one simulator. Is it possible to run swift testing tests in parallel on multiple iOS simulators, but serially within each of them? Or the only way is xctest?

Never have this problem running in the first version of Xcode 27 until download the latest Xcode 27. At least "Fable" should be added in the dropdown to give a sense that it could be selected and be more careful (in dropdown only have "Sonnet", "Opus", "Sonnet+Opus" and more) I also submit Feedback request FB23973503 with screen capture & more Xcode Claude AI Investigation details

I'm observing an interesting behavior on iOS when uploading edited videos from the Photos library. Scenario Device: iPhone Video: 4K, 60 FPS Original video size (Photos app): 660 MB Uploaded original asset: 660 MB After applying a simple edit (e.g., a filter) in the Photos app: Photos app still shows the edited video. When my app uploads the current/edited asset, the uploaded file size becomes 167 MB. So the edited version is approximately 75% smaller than the original (660 MB → 167 MB), even though the duration appears unchanged. Questions Is this expected behavior for edited videos in the Photos library? Does iOS automatically re-encode edited videos using a lower bitrate or a different codec (e.g., HEVC) when generating the current rendition? Does the Photos app continue to display the size of the original asset rather than the size of the edited rendition? I'm aware that PhotoKit allows retrieving both the original and the current (edited) versions of a PHAsset. In this case, I'm intentionally retrieving the current version, and this behavior is observed only for the edited asset.

Super noob here 😅 is there a way to work with the “Xcode” development app on IOS. Any advice or input is welcome.

When connecting my iphone (14pro with iOS 17.2.1) with a paired apple watch (series 9 with OS 10.3), it is not showing up on the devices/simulators list in xcode 15.1. Beyond unpairing/repairing the watch, restarting either iphone or watch, connecting/disconnecting the iphone from the computer or deleting xcode and re-installing xcode, any other suggestions? Under the WatchApp field it shows "no eligible device connected", however, under the console the Apple Watch does appear. I have tried just about everything and can't get the watch to appear in Xcode. I am running all this on a MacBook Pro with Sonoma. Thanks for any assistance!

Hi All - I'm a bit confused about setting environment variables in Mac Terminal when testing archive builds. In Terminal, if I do something like export DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1, it works great for Debug builds. When I open my Debug binary, I can see all the dylibs and Frameworks getting loaded. However, my Archive build doesn't show me anything when I try opening it from Terminal. I did some Googling and I guess SIP may be doing something to prevent environment vars from affecting Archive builds. This made sense to me until I tried creating a simple Test app. If I Archive my Test app and open the binary in Terminal, I see all the dylibs and frameworks. So why would an Archive build for a simple test project work with DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES, but my production app's Archive build won't? Related question: I've run into a situation where I may have to set LSEnvironment in my app's Info.plist to work around a problem in 10.15 Catalina and 11 Big Sur. Setting LSEnvironment works great in my Debug and Release builds. But just like using setting DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES in Terminal, my Archive build ignores the LSEnvironment settings. So... is there a way to create an Archive build that doesn't ignore Environment Variables in Terminal, or LSEnviroment in Info.plist? Hoping that there's a simple Build Setting that I can enable or disable in my Target to do this. Thanks.
