Since updating to macOS Sequoia, I see this dialog every time I launch my SwiftUI macOS app from Xcode:
Users who installed the app from the App Store don’t see it. And this didn’t happened in previous macOS versions.
Could launching it from Xcode be triggering some extra access requirement? How can I stop this dialog from appearing every time I launch my app? It’s very disruptive to the debugging process.

Hello everyone,
I’m currently developing my first VisionOS app in Xcode, starting with the default "Hello World" code provided when creating a new VisionOS Mixed Reality App. However, I’m facing some issues with performance and previewing that I can’t seem to resolve.
When I load the preview, it takes an extremely long time, and sometimes it doesn’t load at all. Even when I try to run the app in the VisionOS Simulator, the simulator shows an endless black screen and never displays the intended view. I’ve made no changes to the code, so it’s purely the base setup.
Here are my system details:
Xcode version: 16.1, VisionOs 2.0;
macOS version: 15.0.1;
Hardware: MacBook Air 2020 M1
I’ve tried restarting Xcode and my machine, but the issue persists. Has anyone else faced similar problems or have any suggestions for fixing this? Or is my hardware simply too weak? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
In my Xcode Version 16.0, I try to export an adhoc IPA file (sure the certificate is correct). get error ipatool failed, error in log

Hej hej
tl;dr. I have problems building a Playground App using Xcode Cloud and I created a reference repository to reproduce this. Did anyone try this before and succeeded? Maybe you have a hint about what's going wrong here.
Initial Failure
I followed the documentation for Building Swift packages and Swift Playgrounds app projects with Xcode Cloud and I have always run into the following error message:
❌ Code Signing
Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information
Check Logs
“Fair game!” I thought, checked out the logs and see this error appearing twice in each of the following steps:
Export archive for ad-hoc distribution
Export archive for development distribution
Export archive for app-store distribution
5.3 Sec.
Run command: 'xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath /Volumes/workspace/tmp/3546d064-74fa-42d0-8b36-3623e18941be.xcarchive -exportPath /Volumes/workspace/adhocexport -exportOptionsPlist /Volumes/workspace/ci/ad-hoc-exportoptions.plist '-DVTPortalRequest.Endpoint=http://172.16.35.199:8089' -DVTProvisioningIsManaged=YES -IDEDistributionLogDirectory=/Volumes/workspace/tmp/ad-hoc-export-archive-logs -DVTSkipCertificateValidityCheck=YES -DVTServicesLogLevel=3'
Error
Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70
Moving forward, I downloaded the logs artifact as suggested earlier. This is IDEDistribution.standard.log:
2024-10-27 11:15:04 +0000 [MT] Starting export with options: {"embedOnDemandResourcesAssetPacksInBundle":true,"teamID":"38R2LLP8AF","stripSwiftSymbols":true,"thinning":"<none>","iCloudContainerEnvironment":"Development","destination":"export","reformatterBundleIdentifier":"hamburg.plus.encore","uploadSymbols":true,"raiseProfileSupportOptionalToRequired":false,"buildNumber":"4","testFlightInternalTestingOnly":false,"manageAppVersionAndBuildNumber":false,"method":"ad-hoc","generateAppStoreInformation":false}
This is IDEDistribution.critical.log (actually it's three times this single error, but I'll spare you the repetition):

And this is an excerpt (of hopefully relevant details) of IDEDistribution.verbose.log (again, this happens three times, only giving the relevant data points here):

Investigate Xcode Archive (*.xcarchive)
At this point, I downloaded the Xcode archive from AppStoreConnect and realized that it only contained debug symbols for the app, but not the app itself.
> ls -la /Users/herzi/Downloads/….xcarchive/Products
total 0
drwxrwxr-x@ 2 herzi staff 64 27 Okt 12:21 .
drwxrwxr-x@ 5 herzi staff 160 27 Okt 12:22 ..
Notice the absence of the Applications folder that would contain the Application.app bundle.
Current Status
So I created a clean, sample repository for my integration. Did anyone try this before and succeeded? Maybe you have a hint about what's going wrong here.

I believe starting from version 15, Developer Documentation is broken in several ways (at least for me).
Quick Help pane shows meaningless header information about many classes:

…How do I figure out what is wrong to be able to upload the app to the store with its signed mdimporter embedded?
mdimporter in macOS project, compiled separately, signed and bundle dropped into Xcode app project. Runs fine but trying to upload to Apple App Store for macOS one runs an Xcode > Product > Archive command and I get this error…
Xcode > Organizer > Products > Archives … Validation Failed
Asset validation failed
This bundle is invalid. Unable to load ‘Info.plist’ for bundle at path: ‘MyApp.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/MyApp-SpotlightIndex.mdimporter’.. (UUID-shown-here)
The Info.plist of the mdimporter is in the separate mdimporter Xcode project, the bundle is compiled as Build for Running and was dropped and copied into the Xcode app project. Runs fine. Any ideas on how to get that to NOT FAIL so I can succeed with my app Archive to upload to the Apple App Store? How to find out what is wrong? How to fix?
I'm at a loss here.
This bundle is invalid. Unable to load ‘Info.plist’ for bundle at path: ‘My App.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/MyApp-SpotlightIndex.mdimporter’..
This mdimporter is embedded in my app with a Copy step in Build Phases and when I Archive the compiled app, I get that error when I try to Validate. The app works OK, the mdimporter Spotlight works OK, all runs fine. But the Validate on the Archive does not work, it fails with that error.

Hello team,
We recently found a EXC_BAD_ACCESS crash when using UIHostingControllers on a SPM local Package in our application. This is happening from time to time when we run the app on simulators using Debug configurations.
Also, this issue is consistent when we run application tests, there is something weird that we found after making a research... If we disable app test target and only keep packages tests, the crash is not happening, but as soon as we re-enable the app test target from the test suite the crash returns.
This is the full error message:
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xbad4017) A bad access to memory terminated the process.
Is this s known issue? We've been performing explorations for some days and couldn't find any real solution for this.
A basic call on UIHostingController inside of a SPM local Package is enough to make the app crash, nothing custom being done:
UIHostingController(rootView: MyView())
The simulator should support the new Siri Ul and Apple Intelligence features, at least they should work if Apple Intelligence is enabled on the Mac itself.

If I have an XCode project that generates a framework when built, then I've noticed that its possible to add new additional targets to the project of type app extension.
However if I add some source code to an app extension and regenerate the framework, then that source code is not accessable from the resulting framework (i.e. if the framework is included into an app, then the app code doesn't have visibility of the code that was added to the extension in the framework).
Is this something which is possible to achieve? Ideally I would like to package the main source code that constitutes the framework content, along with the source code for a few extensions into a single framework, so that the app(s) that use the framework can include the framework into their main app target and also include it in the app extension target.
I noticed that if the scheme of the framework is changed to the extension before building, then the result is not a .framework file but a .appex file.
For client apps of the framework, can they directly include/use that .appex file?
If so how can that be achieved? Does
I've got a few years old app which was created using an Xcode template type of app.
I'd like to split the model part of the code (model as in model-view-controller) out into a framework.
Removed the view/controller source files to leave the model code is quick and easy, however the model code is large and complex with a couple of hundred of source files.
Rather than create a new Xcode template type of framework and move the source files into there, is it possible to simply just change the template type of the existing project from app to framework?
Environment:
Xcode 16.1
Swift version: 6.0.2
Inside of an Xcode project, if I declare a framework and an application. The framework is mergeable and the application merges the framework by configuring MERGE_BINARY_TYPE to Manual (or automatic it's independent). If SWIFT_VERSION is set to 6.0.X and deployment target is set to iOS 15< the build is going to fail because of this error

Please correct the following issues and upload a new binary to App Store Connect.
ITMS-90338: Non-public API usage - The app references non-public selectors in Frameworks/JitsiMeetSDK.framework/JitsiMeetSDK: initWithURLStrings:. If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed. For further information, visit the Technical Support Information at http://developer.apple.com/support/technical/
ITMS-90683: Missing purpose string in Info.plist - Your app’s code references one or more APIs that access sensitive user data, or the app has one or more entitlements that permit such access. The Info.plist file for the “Runner.app” bundle should contain a NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a user-facing purpose string explaining clearly and completely why your app needs the data. If you’re using external libraries or SDKs, they may reference APIs that require a purpose string. While your app might not use these APIs, a purpose string is still required. For details, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/protecting_the_user_s_privacy/requesting_access_to_protected_resources.
This false positive perspective is based on looking to this issue online and looking at the existing Jitsi Meet implementations. We would appreciate guidance and direction for this pretty large and significant open source repository being leveraged.

We develop and test App for macOS. We start to see system alert - "UlTests-Runner" would like to access data from other apps on each UITest run.
Our test suite does cleanup of files generated by App so we need access outside of UITests-Runner sandbox.
We enabled Full Disk Access for UITests-Runner at Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access but unfortunately still see this alert.
Is there any way to permanently remove/hide this alert or remove sandbox for 'UITests-Runner' since we want to run tests on CI and having this alert is not an option?
Note: everything works fine on previous versions of macOS.

Hello, Team.
We used WKWebView for our project. We loaded the HTML file into the webview and added the following configuration.
weak var webView: WKWebView!
func configWebView() {
let webViewConfig = WKWebViewConfiguration()
let controller = WKUserContentController()
controller.add(self, name: "sometest")
webViewConfig.userContentController = controller

let webpagePreferences = WKWebpagePreferences()
webpagePreferences.allowsContentJavaScript = true
webViewConfig.defaultWebpagePreferences = webpagePreferences
webViewConfig.websiteDataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default()
webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webViewConfig)
webView.navigationDelegate = self
webView.uiDelegate = self

We are experiencing webview crashes when loading an HTML file. What happened when I loaded the video file? It automatically looped. Webview frequently crashes when the HTM/JS file is loaded.
When a webview crashes, the delegate method usually calls webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate. This method calls webview.reload().
Also we are clear and cache/ deallocate eveything when i initialized those configuration mentioned as the above.
Can you suggest a solution to this? Why is webview crashing?
Thank you.
I am trying to add an XCUITest target to an existing application. When I try to run the tests, I get the error "Invalid configuration: MyProjectUITests sets both USES_XCTRUNNER and either TEST_HOST or RUNTIME_TEST_HOST".
I have seen information stating that it might be because I have multiple apps built from different build configurations in the same scheme, but I could not resolve the issue with any of the suggestions I saw.
I've attached a screenshot of the error message and a link to a project stripped down to just the existing configuration to help with diagnosing this issue. I would really love to be able to get some UI tests running.

I have a macOS application built via command line (xcodebuild) using Xcode 16.1. Developed on ARM but end user is on Intel (same macOS 15.1).
App crashed and they sent me a .IPS dump.
From what MacGPT tells me:
Reading an IPS (Incident Processing System) file from a macOS crash report in Xcode isn’t as straightforward as with iOS device logs.
I can open the dump using Console. I see the IPS dump is partially symbolicated.
Line in the dump says: Meteorologist 0x103e0348f 0x103d88000 + 504975
Referencing this article: Adding identifiable symbol names to a crash report | Apple Developer Documentation
I run this command and see the same UUID for x86_64 as in the dump.
dwarfdump --uuid /Users/ed/meteorologist/trunk/Build/Meteorologist.xcarchive/dSYMs/Meteorologist.app.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/Meteorologist
I run this command:
atos -arch x86_64 -o /Users/ed/meteorologist/trunk/Build/Meteorologist.xcarchive/dSYMs/Meteorologist.app.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/Meteorologist -l 0x103d88000 0x103e0348f
And it says: fg: no current job

I need to read results of a test in Xcode post-action of Test.
So the script that runs after tests contains
SUMMARY=$(xcrun xcresulttool get test-results summary --path $RESULT_FILE 2>> "$LOGS")
If I run my script from terminal, everything is ok but if I launch tests and the post-action is executed, I got
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT

Usage: xcresulttool <subcommand>
See 'xcresulttool --help' for more information.
It might be that the environment set by Xcode is missing something but I cannot figure out what, any idea?
