Hi all, I have implemented a feature in my iOS application which checks the latest version available on App Store and if there is new update available it shows Pop to update the app. I am using this url for checki https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId= Issue: For some users this url returns old cached data which is previous version although new version is already live and i have verified this url directly via PostMan or other IDE.

After updating to Xcode 26.5 Xcode crashes when I try to open my project. Directly before update everything was fine... Not using Beta-Software.. only stable versions What can I do? Will there be an update fixing this bug? `Application Specific Information: abort() called Application Specific Signatures: NSInternalInconsistencyException Application Specific Backtrace 0: 0 CoreFoundation 0x0000000186e711c0 __exceptionPreprocess + 176 1 DVTFoundation 0x000000010578a20c DVTFailureHintExceptionPreprocessor + 388 2 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00000001868fa91c objc_exception_throw + 88 3 Foundation 0x000000018868f498 -[NSFileWrapper regularFileContents] + 436 4 IDEStoreKitCore 0x000000030e002b20 $s15IDEStoreKitCore0aB13ConfigurationC4FileV17configurationData10Foundation0G0Vvg + 440 5 IDEStoreKitCore 0x000000030e001da0 $s15IDEStoreKitCore0aB13ConfigurationC13configuration3forACSo13NSFileWrapperC_tKFZ + 304 6 IDEStoreKitCore 0x000000030e003b0c $s15IDEStoreKitCore0aB13ConfigurationC13configuration2atAC10Foundation3URLV_tKFZ + 148 7 IDEStoreKitEditor 0x000000030e792ecc $s17IDEStoreKitEditor0aB20TextFragmentProviderC12generateSeed3for17completionHandlerySo11DVTFilePathC_ySo07IDETextefH0_pSg_s5Error_pSgtctFZ06$sSo27nefh28_pSgSo7NSErrorCSgIeyByy_ABs5o2_pR8Ieggg_TRAJSo0T0CSgIeyByy_Tf1ncn_nTf4ndg_n + 152 8 IDEStoreKitEditor 0x000000030e7922fc $s17IDEStoreKitEditor0aB20TextFragmentProviderC12generateSeed3for17completionHandlerySo11DVTFilePathC_ySo07IDETextefH0_pSg_s5Error_pSgtctFZTo + 52 9 IDEFoundation 0x000000010c922318 __113+[IDETextFragmentIndex runProvider:forFilePath:explicitFileDataType:initialTimestamp:priority:completionHandler:]_block_invoke + 204 10 DVTFoundation 0x00000001058a0638 __51-[DVTThrottledConcurrentQueue processQueueIfNeeded]_block_invoke + 80 11 DVTFoundation 0x0000000105892bd0 DVT_CALLING_CLIENT_BLOCK + 16 12 DVTFoundation 0x0000000105893548 __DVTDispatchAsync_block_invoke + 152 13 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000186b8aa28 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 14 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000186ba44b0 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 15 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000186b8f1c8 _dispatch_continuation_pop + 596 16 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000186b8e844 _dispatch_async_redirect_invoke + 580 17 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000186b9c980 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 360 18 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000186b9d120 _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 184 19 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x0000000186d41e84 _pthread_wqthread + 232 20 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x0000000186d40c10 start_wqthread + 8`

Hello, I’m implementing the AppIntents framework in my app. I want to translate the TypeDisplayRepresentation that is used in the Shortcuts app UI like in a DeleteIntent (see my feedback about this: FB23451186 for more context). In the “Accelerating app interactions with App Intents” sample code we can see that this is done using a .stringsdict file, as follows for the “Trail” key (singular and plural): <key>Trail</key> <dict> <key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key> <string>%#@VARIABLE@</string> <key>VARIABLE</key> <dict> <key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key> <string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string> <key>one</key> <string>Trail</string> <key>other</key> <string>Trails</string> </dict> </dict> I want to use a String catalog instead of a .stringsdict file because all my strings are in a String catalog. I tried to migrate the AppIntents.stringsdict file manually but it failed with an error: “An error occurred when migrating AppIntentsSampleApp/Resources/AppIntents.stringsdict: This stringsdict cannot be migrated: Missing required key 'NSStringFormatValueTypeKey' inside 'Trail' -> 'VARIABLE’” So I manually added a NSStringFormatValueTypeKey like this in the .stringsdict file: <key>Trail</key> <dict> <key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key> <string>%#@VARIABLE@</string> <key>VARIABLE</key> <dict> <key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key> <string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string> <key>NSStringFormatValueTypeKey</key> <string>lld</string> <key>one</key> <string>Trail</string> <key>other</key> <string>Trails</string> </dict> </dict> And then I’ve been able to migrate the .stringsdict file into a String catalog. The string catalog looks like this after migration: "Trail" : { "extractionState" : "stale", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "%#@VARIABLE@" }, "substitutions" : { "VARIABLE" : { "formatSpecifier" : "lld", "variations" : { "plural" : { "one" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "Trail (Catalog)" } }, "other" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "Trails (Catalog)" } } } } } } } } This works, which is nice. But I tried to reproduce the same result by having a %#@VARIABLE@ in my LocalizedStringResource defaultValue like this: TypeDisplayRepresentation( name: LocalizedStringResource( "Flower", defaultValue: "%#@VARIABLE@", table: "AppIntents" ), numericFormat: LocalizedStringResource( "\(placeholder: .int) flower", table: "AppIntents" ) ) But the String catalog doesn’t support that apparently, I can’t get a “substitution” object in my catalog, so I have to manually do it using the source code which is not ideal and painful. Is there a way to support this kind of substitution with no actual plural token in the string as we can see for the %#@VARIABLE@ for Trail? Thank you, Regards, Axel

In Xcode project > Build Settings > Swift Compiler - Concurrency. When we have those settings : Approachable Concurrency - Yes Default Actor Isolation - MainActor A sendable struct without @Actor annotation will be stuck to @MainActor. But if we have a sendable struct, by principle, it should be used across Actors. To remediate the situation, we had to prefix the struct with nonisolated keyword. The setting "Default Actor Isolation - MainActor" should not add @MainActor to Sendables. Problem describe in : FB23264607

I'm trying out Xcode 12 (beta) and encountered an issue with TextField when viewing it in a live Preview. Although the view is interactive (scrolling vertically seems to be OK) and a cursor appears in the TextField view when it is clicked on, keyboard input is ignored. The same code works as expected in Xcode 11.5. Simulator in both 11.5 and 12 exhibits expected behaviour. Is this a bug? I know there is an issue with interactivity in Preview with multiple views inside PreviewProvider but I'd assumed this is if you'd added multiple Views to the same body of this struct.

AI agentic coding is great, but it drifts away from the good practices and good code. Sometimes I am writing code while thinking what exactly to write, exploring the architecture solution, the data flow, not the technology, so making a prompt is not the best use case. I am doing iOS development in VSCode since preview version of Copilot launched, the auto-completions that AI provides IS the greatest tool a developer can have Please 🙏 prioritize the unimaginable good auto-completion that only Apple can provide, so that we can auto-complete function implementation, class implementation, multiple lines of comments in a fraction of a second

I know Xcode 27 is in beta but it appears that in Device Hub you can no longer drag and drop enterprise security certificates onto the simulators like you could in Xcode 26 (and earlier) simulators. I did put in a feedback request in (FB23369006) but I was wondering if anyone found a workaround. This hampers testing for enterprise users who don't have a physical device to test on.

Apple M1 Pro, 26.5.1 (25F80) XCode 27.0 Beta (27A5194q) Command Line tools for Xcode 27 are installed. Device Hub Version 27.0 (235.4.2) Within device hub I can not create iOS 27 simulators. Only the 26.5 simulators are listed there. I installed the iOS 27.0 SDK. Also deleted and reinstalled it. The computer was restarted. No change. I am unable to create the proper iOS 27 Simulators. Any idea why this is not working? Thanks for the help upfront.

I’m attempting to set up Gemini agentic support in Xcode 26.6 RC (and I'm assuming the process is the same in 27), but since I need to use Gemini with a corporate account, I have a Google Cloud Project ID, not an API key, so it seems like the configuration file route is the right path? After consulting Gemini and filling out the .env file and settings.json files, Xcode is complaining about needing to be authenticated, and I can’t seem to see how to trigger the auth, like one might do in Gemini CLI. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice at this point. Thanks in advance!

When I tried to use Xcode to compile an app for my iPhone, it also compiled a macOS version, but they don't work. I tried to delete them from the Applications folder, but they're not there. According to the Xcode logs, I found that they're located in /private/var/folders/ and there are some deprecated projects. How should I delete them?

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my new MacBook Pro M5. My iPhone 17 is connected via USB. The phone appears in Finder, so the Mac clearly detects it, and I can access it there. However, the Xcode doesn't see the iPhone at all. Both the MacBook Pro and the iPhone are running version 26.5. What's confusing is that the exact same iPhone and the exact same USB cable work perfectly with my older Intel-based MacBook Pro. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions on what I should check?

I'm trying to register the App ID ai.mycompany.app under our company Apple Developer account, but the portal says: "An App ID with Identifier 'ai.mycompany.app' is not available. Please enter a different string." We own the domain mycompany.ai, and no app is published with this identifier (an App Store lookup by bundle ID returns no results). I believe it was auto-registered earlier by Xcode's automatic signing under my personal Apple ID while testing a build, not under our company team. So it's now holding the identifier globally but isn't in use. I have access to both accounts — my free personal Apple ID and our paid company Developer account. The problem: under the free personal account, the Identifiers list (Certificates, IDs & Profiles) is restricted — free accounts can't access it on the portal, so I can't see or remove the Bundle ID there myself. And from the company account it doesn't appear, since it's owned by the personal team. What I want: release/remove this Bundle ID so I can register it under our company Developer account. Questions: If a Bundle ID was auto-created under a free personal team, how can it be removed when free accounts can't access the Identifiers list? Is contacting Developer Support the only way to release it in this case? Once released, does the identifier become available immediately, or is there a hold period before another team can register it? Any guidance appreciated.

Description I've encountered a consistent hang/freeze issue in SwiftUI applications when using nested LazyVStack containers with Accessibility Inspector (simulator) or VoiceOver (physical device) enabled. The application becomes completely unresponsive and must be force-quit. Importantly, this hang occurs in a minimal SwiftUI project with no third-party dependencies, suggesting this is a framework-level issue with the interaction between SwiftUI's lazy view lifecycle and the accessibility system. Reproduction Steps I've created a minimal reproduction project available here: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction To Reproduce: Create a SwiftUI view with the following nested LazyVStack structure: struct NestedLazyVStackView: View { @State private var outerSections: [Int] = [] @State private var innerRows: [Int: [Int]] = [:] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 24) { ForEach(outerSections, id: \.self) { section in VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Section #\(section)") // Nested LazyVStack LazyVStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) { ForEach(innerRows[section] ?? [], id: \.self) { row in Text("Section #\(section) - Row #\(row)") .onAppear { // Load more data when row appears loadMoreInner(section: section) } } } } .onAppear { // Load more sections when section appears loadMoreOuter() } } } } } } Enable Accessibility Inspector in iOS Simulator: Xcode → Open Developer Tool → Accessibility Inspector Select your running simulator Enable Inspection mode (eye icon) Navigate to the view and start scrolling Result: The application hangs and becomes unresponsive within a few seconds of scrolling Expected Behavior The application should remain responsive when Accessibility Inspector or VoiceOver is enabled, allowing users to scroll through nested lazy containers without freezing. Actual Behavior The application freezes/hangs completely CPU usage may spike The app must be force-quit to recover The hang occurs consistently and is reproducible Workaround 1: Replace inner LazyVStack with VStack LazyVStack { ForEach(...) { section in VStack { // ← Changed from LazyVStack ForEach(...) { row in ... } } } } Workaround 2: Embed in TabView TabView { NavigationStack { NestedLazyVStackView() // ← Same nested structure, but no hang } .tabItem { ... } } Interestingly, wrapping the entire navigation stack in a TabView prevents the hang entirely, even with the nested LazyVStack structure intact. Questions for Apple Is there a known issue with nested LazyVStack containers and accessibility traversal? Why does wrapping the view in a TabView prevent the hang? Are there recommended patterns for using nested lazy containers with accessibility support? Is this a timing issue, a deadlock, or an infinite loop in the accessibility system? Why that happens? Reproduction Project A complete, minimal reproduction project is available at: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction

How can I enable an external display in the Device Hub via Xcode 27, similar to the external display option previously available in the Simulator?

Hello, I have been unable to install any development-signed app on any physical device for five months. Builds succeed, code signing passes locally, but every device rejects the app at install time with: Failed to verify code signature of .../extracted/MyApp.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.) ApplicationVerificationFailed The app installs briefly, then iOS immediately removes it. This started right after my account (Team ID MB4DXDTDMT) was reinstated following a duplicate-account flag. Background: I had a personal account that was converted to a business account (Wakeout LLC), then created a new personal account, which Apple flagged as a duplicate and later reinstated. The signing failure began immediately after that reinstatement. Isolation already done (this is not a local-setup problem) I have run the full isolation sequence — including every step DTS typically asks for — and the result points squarely at the account/team, not my machine: New blank Xcode project, automatic signing, new bundle ID → same 0xe8008018. Brand-new macOS user account → same failure. Multiple Macs, fresh Xcode installs → same failure. Multiple iOS devices (iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, others) → same failure. Different Apple ID / different developer team on the same Mac + same device → installs fine. This is the decisive one: the local environment is healthy; only Team MB4DXDTDMT is rejected. Xcode Cloud builds for this same team install fine. Apple's cloud signing trusts MB4DXDTDMT; the device-verification backend does not. That gap can only exist server-side. I have also: revoked/regenerated all certificates multiple times, deleted/recreated all provisioning profiles, cleared ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles, cleared DerivedData and CoreDevice, removed device pairing records, re-paired devices, confirmed Developer Mode and correct system time. Simulators work. codesign --verify --deep --strict passes. Profile certificate SHA-1 matches the signing cert exactly. Entitlements match. Why I'm posting here This is the same failure documented in thread 755762, where Quinn concluded: "this seems to be tied to your primary developer account and only DevPrograms has access to those details." That matches my evidence exactly: the problem isolates cleanly to one team, and only DevPrograms can see the account-side state. I've already gone through Developer Support on this — an open case has been with them for about five months without a resolution, which is what convinced me the fix isn't something I can reach from the support side. I'm posting here in case a DTS engineer can confirm the diagnosis and point me to the right path. Question for any DTS engineer: given that the failure isolates to a single team — different teams sign and install fine on the same Mac and same device, and Xcode Cloud builds for this same team install fine — can you confirm this is an account-side signing-trust state that has to be reset by Apple, and what's the most direct way to get that reset actioned? Happy to attach a sysdiagnose, full console output, or codesign -dvvv dumps on request. Thank you.

I’m seeing a reproducible issue in both Xcode 26 and Xcode 27 where Coding Assistant appears to stop autocompleting when a project contains a larger number of Swift Package dependencies. Symptoms: Autocomplete suggestions from Coding Assistant stop appearing. File targeting with @ stops working. The issue typically appears shortly after opening the project If I start a brand-new chat immediately after opening the project, Coding Assistant sometimes works briefly before failing Reducing or removing Swift Package dependencies fixes the issue I’ve created a sample project that reproduces the problem and have also filed Feedback Assistant report: FB23341243 The issue seems related to package count or project complexity rather than any specific package, although I haven’t yet identified the exact threshold that triggers it. Has anyone else run into this or has anyone found a workaround?

Hello, I am looking for guidance on how to pre-provision TCC permissions for automated desktop app testing on the macOS 27 beta. We have maintained a CI testing setup by saving snapshots of VMs with pre-configured user TCC databases. This allowed our UI tests to run without being blocked by permission prompts. This included permissions like screen recording, full disk access or apple events. On the macOS 27 beta, this workflow appears completely broken. While the system TCC database seems to function as it used to, the user TCC database has been moved into a ProtectedSystem container. Direct modifications to the user database now seem impossible. Is there any officially supported way to pre-provision user-level TCC permissions on macOS 27 VMs for automated CI environments? Is Apple's intention here that the system DB is the only one that's actually editable (with SIP disabled)? How does Apple recommend CI platforms handle user-level permission prompts in headless or automated VM environments moving forward? Any insights or recommended alternative workflows would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A couple months ago, I got an error when attempting to deploy our app to App Store Connect (see error further below). I used the CLI command xcrun altool --upload-app, and I was trying to upload a new version 1.0.26 build 0, when the previous uploaded version was 1.0.25 build 2 (so the new version is definitely a higher number). I later tried to upload a version 1.0.27 build 1, and that still failed. Note that I have an identical staging app, and I was able to go from 1.0.25 build 2 to 1.0.26 build 0 just fine there. And I have never had issues with version incrementation in the past for either our production or staging app. What could be going wrong here? Here are the error logs: 2026-04-30 23:18:19.430 ERROR: [ContentDelivery.Uploader.6000012404C0] The provided entity includes an attribute with a value that has already been used (-19232) The bundle version must be higher than the previously uploaded version: ‘0’.

Summary: After upgrading to Xcode 26.4, app-hosted XCTest execution on physical devices running iOS 16 fails at test-planning time with "Logic Testing Unavailable." The same project and same device work under Xcode 26.2. The failure reproduces with a standalone minimal Xcode project, which suggests this is an Xcode regression rather than a project-configuration issue. Environment: Xcode: 26.4 (17E192) macOS: Tahoe 26.4 Failing device: iPhone 11 (iPhone12,1), iOS 16.0.3 Working comparisons: Xcode 26.2 + same iPhone 11 (iOS 16.0.3): works Xcode 26.4 + iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) on iOS 26.3: works Regression: Yes. Works on Xcode 26.2. Fails on Xcode 26.4. Same project, same signing setup, same physical iOS 16 device. Minimal reproduction: A minimal sample project with: one iOS app target one app-hosted unit-test target one UI-test target (for comparison; not required to reproduce) Steps for the unit-test repro on a physical device running iOS 16: Build for testing: xcodebuild -project TestProject.xcodeproj \ -scheme TestProject-UnitTests \ -sdk iphoneos \ -destination 'platform=iOS,id=<DEVICE_UDID>' \ -derivedDataPath DerivedData-Device-Unit \ -resultBundlePath Results-Device-Unit-Build.xcresult \ DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<TEAM_ID> \ CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic \ build-for-testing Run tests without building: xcodebuild -project TestProject.xcodeproj \ -scheme TestProject-UnitTests \ -sdk iphoneos \ -destination 'platform=iOS,id=<DEVICE_UDID>' \ -derivedDataPath DerivedData-Device-Unit \ -resultBundlePath Results-Device-Unit-Test.xcresult \ DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<TEAM_ID> \ CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic \ test-without-building Note: xcodebuild test (combined build and test) also fails with the same error. Expected result: The hosted unit tests run successfully on the connected physical device, as they do under Xcode 26.2. Actual result: Step 1 (build-for-testing) succeeds. Step 2 (test-without-building) fails immediately (within ~1 second) with: 2026-03-26 11:23:28.683 xcodebuild[51930:731004] DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion. 2026-03-26 11:23:28.725 xcodebuild[51930:730966] [MT] DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion. 2026-03-26 11:23:29.239 xcodebuild[51930:730966] Writing error result bundle to /var/folders/jl/knmkq18x4cg_3w087zgpfldm0000gn/T/ResultBundle_2026-26-03_11-23-0029.xcresult xcodebuild: error: Failed to build project TestProject with scheme TestProject-UnitTests.: Cannot test target “redacted” on “redacted”: Logic Testing Unavailable Logic Testing on iOS devices is not supported. You can run logic tests on the Simulator. Why this looks like an Xcode regression: The same project and same physical iOS 16.0.3 device work under Xcode 26.2. Under Xcode 26.4, build-for-testing still succeeds, so signing, provisioning, and bundle construction appear valid. The failure happens only when Xcode plans or launches the on-device test run. Before the failure, Xcode 26.4 logs: DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion. A newer physical device running iOS 26.3 works under Xcode 26.4 without this warning. The issue also reproduces with a minimal standalone Xcode project, which makes a project-specific configuration problem unlikely. The Xcode-generated .xctestrun files for the passing Xcode 26.2 case and failing Xcode 26.4 case are structurally equivalent, making an .xctestrun format difference unlikely to be the cause.
