Could not load Xcode Cloud Data
Hello, I have Xcode Cloud set up on a project with multiple targets. One target is a Framework that hosts a Swift Package that's used to host modules. I recently added a large number of files (at least 20,000) to some test targets and I can no longer access Xcode Cloud from the Cloud Reports section. Xcode prepares to analyze the project and then fails with Could not load Xcode Cloud Data Removing the files from the package results in the project being analyzed successfully. So it appears to be some sort of a timeout issue. Thank you

Xcode 15 not finding iOS 17 devices
I have a brand new iPhone 15 with iOS 17, paired with a watch on WatchOS10. In devices and simulators, the iPhone 15 and Watch 10 device show up as disconnected (with the globe icon I think is what it is?) and if I click on either of them, that icon changes to a spinner, and the main window says "Xcode will continue when the operation completes", but it NEVER completes. This makes the device not usable for development. In addition, I have updated my iPad to iOS17, and it doesn't even show up at all in the devices and simulator list, even though it is enabled for developer mode. I have toggled developer mode off and on (thus rebooting). I have quit and restarted Xcode. I have even rebooted the Mac. Nothing helps. This is incredibly frustrating.

Xcode 26.4 productivity/UX regression.
I switch between Project / Tests / Breakpoints using top left pane 100s times a day. I also switch to search using CMD-Shift-F. In Xcode 26.4 I have to tap the <> to open menu. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior. Does any of the UX guys who worked on that feature use Xcode on daily basis? This is so bad :(

XCODE Version 26.4.1 (17E202)
I am developing an iOS app using Capacitor and Xcode. The app installs on my device but fails to launch with the error: “Quarantined due to high logging volume.” I have already: Configured signing correctly Enabled Developer Mode Disabled excessive logging in the app code Cleaned build and re-synced Capacitor The app still fails to run on a physical device (My iPhone 17Pro Max). Please advise on how to resolve this issue or whether this is related to a system-level logging limit or WebView restriction. Please suggest a reliable solution to the issue.

Transaction.unfinished not getting unfinished transactions
I am testing auto renewing subscriptions for a macOS program in Xcode with a local Storekit file. I have renewals set to occur every minute for testing. I quit the app, and watch renewals appear in the Debug transaction manager window. Each is marked unfinished. When I start the app, I call a function that is supposed to get unfinished transactions and finish them. In one of those "I swore it worked the other day", I am now finding it isn't working. The unfinished transaction remain marked as unfinished. func getUnfinished() async { for await verificationResult in Transaction.unfinished { guard case .verified(let transaction) = verificationResult else { continue } await transaction.finish() } } If I add an AppStore.sync() right before looping on Transaction.unfinished, it works (i.e., cleans up unfinished transactions), but I get an alert I have to click through. do { try await AppStore.sync() } catch { print("DEBUG UNFINISHED: AppStore.sync() failed: \(error)") } Any idea why Transaction.unfinished isn't fetching unfinished transactions for me (without the AppStore.sync)?

Can the same widget in an Xcode project support multiple targets?
Hello everyone, my app A now supports iOS Widget C under the same Xcode project. Now I have another app B under this project, and I hope it can also support this Widget C. What should be done? How should the app group be configured? I have found some solutions: for example, add this key under the info.plist corresponding to app B: NSExtension NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.widgetkit-extension NSExtensionPrincipalClass $(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).WidgetEntryView However, when I configured it and started running, not only could I not see the support Widget C, but the screen also went black. Thank you all.

I'm requesting help with Xcode debugging.
Hello everyone. I need help! I'm using Xcode solely to create an archive of a mobile application created with WinDev Mobile. When everything is working correctly, I simply retrieve the application's generated version from WinDev Mobile, launch the archive creation process, and add a new version to TestFlight! Then I can test the application on the iPhone. The current problem is that the application crashes, without any error message, in a specific use case. Hoping to get some help with this crash, I had the idea to test the application using Xcode. Once launched, a crash occurs if I follow the same process. There's an error message, which I'll paste below. What does this error mean? How can I relate it to my WinDev Mobile code? Have a good day.

Xcode Command Line Tools update not wanted, but persists
I am running Tahoe 26.4.1 on a MacBook Air, M4, 2025. In System Settings, I have an item heading of Software Update Available. Clicking on that brings up "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4". The only available choices are to Update Now or Cancel. In the past, I was developing a game, but have quit working on that, and deleted Xcode and Command Line Tools. Wanting the "Command Line Tools ..." line to disappear from System Settings, I called Apple Support, and at their request have followed the steps in "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-the-command-line-tools" to delete this entry in System Settings, namely the 2 sudo's in that article under the section "Uninstall the command line tools". This did not cause the "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4" line in System Settings to disappear (as I was told by Apple support that it would, because I would be deleting the receipt). In Terminal, I did indeed receive a response of "No receipt for 'com.apple.dt.commandlinetools' found at '/'.". I have called developer support, but the individual I spoke with had no useful guidance on how to finish this issue, except to post to the Forum. I would appreciate any guidance on how to delete the "Command Line Tools ..." entry from System Settings.

All Testflight have been flagged as EXPIRED
Hi there, In the last few days ALL TF builds i has been flagged as Expired. Uploading new builds to TF seems to be successful but we get a 404 on the download link. It doesn't exist! Client side we have seemingly exhausted all our lines of enquiry. All certification seems to be correct and intact, and we can publish to the store. We cannot distribute builds through TF - which is highly problematic and inconvenient. These issues seems to be happening to many developers but I've not seen Apple comment on this yet. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/823347 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/778597 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/778597?answerId=885232022#885232022 I offer this as a sidenote. We transferred an app from this store, successfully to another store. The timing at first seemed linked, but now having seen other reports, it may just have been coincidence. Thankyou for your attention.

Xcode 26.4 rc
Since 26.4 beta 3 I've been having errors after a few hours of using Claude Agent. I get an error stating that I am not authed. If I go into Xcode settings, it still shows I am signed into Claude Agent. I have click sign out and then go through the whole auth process again to start using the agent again. This is on two separate computers. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour and stay logged in for longer? It worked fine in 26.3.

Icon Composer: Any way to add icons to the app bundle for older macOS versions?
Several app developers are struggling with the inability to provide a separate app icons that looks nice on older macOS versions while at the same time provide Icon Composer icons that look great on macOS Tahoe 26. An ability to provide separate icons is super important to those who have app icons that follow the curvature of the default icon borders (as the corner rounding radius is different for Sequia and Tahoe). Take a look at this for example: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/7564#issuecomment-3042061547 Question: Is there a definitive/recommended way to address this issue? How can a developer add a glass icon variant that looks good on Tahoe and provide a bitmap icon for older macOS versions? Some background info: Prior to Xcode 26 beta 4, one could add an App Icon to Assets to be used as app icon for legacy macOS versions (Sequia and older) and use a new Icon Composer icon (placed in the project root) for macOS Tahoe 26. Enabling "Include all app icon assets" under target settings ensured that older macOS versions would use the old app icons while Tahoe the new Icon Composer glass one. Since Xcode beta 4 this technique no longer works. Xcode instead insists on populating Assets.car with Icon Composer generated variants, disregarding the App Icon provided in Assets. Although the App Icon in Assets makes its way to a .incs file in the app bundle's Contents/Resources folder, but that is not used by macOS anymore and is there for some compatibility purposes. The Assets.car file (which matters) only contains the variants generated by Icon Composer and does not contain the png icons provided in the Assets.
