The other day the XCode account had some error that I so that I decided to log out and in again. But when trying to log in to my apple account I get this "Bad URL" with the description "Try signing in again or contact Apple Developer Support to resolve account access". This only happens on the XCode on my work computer. I can log in to XCode on other computers with the same account. This happens only on this computer and with any account that I try to log in to. Obviously there is some cache file somewhere that I need to delete. But I am not finding it.

I added a new liquid glass icon built with Icon Composer to my app. It works and looks great on iOS 26 but Xcode complains that required icon files for older versions are missing. I still have the old AppIcon in my Asset Catalog but it seems like it's not being used. How do I configure Xcode to use the old icons for iOS 18 and the new icon for iOS 26?

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.

The iPad Pro on iPadOS 26 now operates on the same class of silicon as Apple’s entry-level Macs. It ships with M-series processors, 8GB of unified memory, support for multiple resizable windows, a menu bar, and proper external display connections. The device already has the foundation required for professional software development. The only gap is the absence of Xcode. Making the full version of Xcode available on iPad Pro would not take away from the Mac. Large and resource-intensive projects will still require the power of MacBook Pro and Mac Studio. What it would do is allow smaller and mid-sized projects to be developed directly on iPad Pro, which the hardware is fully capable of handling. That dynamic is complementary, not cannibalizing. Developers would continue to buy Macs but would also buy iPad Pros for portability and flexibility. The revenue upside is clear. Lowering the entry barrier means more developers enrolling in the Apple Developer Program at $99 per year, creating predictable recurring subscription income. A wider developer base leads to more apps reaching the App Store. Even if many are small, Apple benefits from every transaction through its revenue share. This strengthens the services business, which already delivers the company’s highest margins. There is also a direct hardware impact. Once Xcode is available, iPad Pro will be recognized as a legitimate professional development device. That drives more unit sales of a high-margin product line and increases attachment rates for accessories like the Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil, and external monitors. Instead of eroding Mac sales, the effect is expansion. Developers will own both devices. The case is straightforward. The hardware is ready. The operating system is ready. Enabling full Xcode on iPad Pro would expand the developer funnel, grow recurring subscription revenue, increase App Store volume, and boost high-margin hardware and accessory sales. It is a decision that benefits developers, strengthens the ecosystem, and maximizes profit.

Hello all, I saw the update of xcode26 on the App store, and from the compatibility information, I saw that xcode26 supports macos15.6 and higher. I'm not sure if xcode26 can be installed on macos 15. I can't install xcode26 on macOS 15.7.

Like I said, Xcode always selects the most recently used device for debugging, but when that device disconnects from the Mac, Xcode takes a long time to load and you can’t dismiss it. What a stupid feature! Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a way to resolve it? Thank you very much!

Hello, when building and signing my application in a Github actions workflow, I am facing an issue on the latest version of xCode (16.4). This issue is resolved by downgrading to 16.3. My CI/CD pipeline is running headless and installing provisioning profile to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles.

Hi everyone, I’ve run into a strange localization issue with macOS document-based apps in SwiftUI/AppKit. I created a standard document-based macOS app in Xcode (SwiftUI template) and added a French localization to the project. All system-generated menu bar commands (File → New, Close, Print, etc.) are correctly translated into French… except for “Save”, which remains in English. To rule out problems in my own code, I created a fresh, unmodified document-based app project in Xcode, and immediately added French localization without touching any code. Same result: all commands are translated except “Save”. This suggests the issue isn’t specific to my app code, but either the project template, or possibly macOS itself. My environment • Xcode version: 16.4 • macOS version: 15.6.1 Sequoia] • Swift: Swift 6 Questions 1. Has anyone else seen this issue with the “Save” command not being localized? 2. Is this expected behavior (maybe “Save” is handled differently from other menu items)? 3. If it’s a bug in the template or OS, is there a known workaround? Thanks for any insights P.S. Please note that I'm a total beginner

While preparing automated screenshots with Xcode UI tests for the iOS 26 release, I noticed that this simple line of code app.buttons["myTabItem"].tap() doesn't always work, both on iPhone and iPad Simulator. In fact, it rarely works. Even when repeating the same test, mostly it fails on that line, but a few times it works and I can see the tab item change in the simulator. My main view looks like this: TabView { MyTab1() .tag(tag1) .tabItem { Label("label1", systemImage: "image1") } MyTab2() .tag(tag2) .tabItem { Label("label2", systemImage: "image2") .accessibilityIdentifier("myTabItem") } The error I get is Failed to tap "myTabItem" Button: No matches found for Elements matching predicate '"myTabItem" IN identifiers' from input In the given list of buttons, I see the tab items with their labels, but none of them seem to have an identifier, while other buttons have the correct identifier. I wonder how this can only sometimes work. I tried isolating the issue by iteratively commenting out parts of the SwiftUI code, but unfortunately the behaviour seems erratic. When a change results in the issue not happening anymore, undoing the last X changes often causes the issue to stay away, even with configurations that previously had the issue. I've already spent almost a whole day trying to find the root cause, but with such apparently random behaviour it has proven impossible. Of course, I cannot reproduce the issue with a fresh test project, so the only way to reproduce it with 95% probability is running my original project. Has anyone had the same issue, or does anyone know how I could debug this to find out what causes my UI test to not be able to tap another tab item?

Hi, I am experiencing an issue where Xcode displays a "Provisioning profile doesn't support the capability" error for the User Assigned Device Name capability, despite it being approved by Apple and visible in our provisioning profile on the Developer Portal. Background We have completed and submitted the required capability request form to Apple for the User Assigned Device Name capability and received approval. The capability appears correctly in our provisioning profile on the Apple Developer Portal and shows among the enabled capabilities alongside other standard capabilities like In-App Purchase and Push Notifications. Issue However, Xcode consistently displays the error message when trying to enable the User Assigned Device Name capability in our project settings, preventing successful builds with this functionality. Troubleshooting Steps Attempted We have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including: Regenerating provisioning profiles Performing clean builds Clearing DerivedData Manually installing profiles Adding the com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name entitlement manually to our entitlements file Toggling automatic signing on and off Environment Details Xcode Version: 16.4 (16F6) iOS Deployment Target: iOS 13 Profile Type: Distribution provisioning profile Capability: User Assigned Device Name Despite the capability being approved by Apple and visible in our provisioning profile, Xcode does not recognize it. This appears to be a synchronization issue between the Apple Developer Portal and Xcode's capability validation system. Has anyone encountered similar issues with recently approved capabilities, specifically the User Assigned Device Name capability? Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this capability recognition issue? Any suggestions for resolving this discrepancy between the Developer Portal and Xcode would be greatly appreciated.

I've alluded to this before in these posts and there are some posts from others about this, e.g. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759845 and I've filed some bugs related to the behavior. FB20212935 FB19451832 FB19450508 FB19450162 FB19449747 Our company owns the USB vendor IDs X and Y . We've been granted a USB transport entitlement for both of those IDs. The crux of the problem is that I want to build a driver for USB vendor ID Y. Xcode's well-hidden auto-generated provisioning profile for my driver contains com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb: { idVendor = X; } which is obviously not what I want. Xcode fails to provision the target. But I have another, much older project with an auto-generated provisioning profile containing com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb: { idVendor = X; }, { idVendor = Y; } I can build a driver for idVendor Y without problems in this project. But that doesn't help me with my new project. What can I do to fix this? Do I need to request our entitlements again? I fear if I do so, something will get lost in the process. Is there a way to inspect what we have already been granted? - I can't see a "managed entitlements" section on the account portal. I can go through the motions of making a new App ID, then I can see that some Capability Request have been "Assigned", but I don't see what their values are. A second question I have is about the userclient-access entitlement. Are these tied to the bundle ID of the app which claims the access? In other words, if I have two drivers com.mycompany.app1.driver1 com.mycompany.app2.driver2 and I would like to have com.mycompany.app1 communicate with com.mycompany.app1.driver1, I would ask for the com.apple.developer.driverkit.userclient-access capability for com.mycompany.app1.driver1. But must I request that access for each specific app bundle ID that will talk to that driver, or once the entitlement is granted, can I use com.apple.developer.driverkit.userclient-access = { com.mycompany.app1.driver1 } in any of my apps?

I am getting this warning when compiling: Failed to generate flattened icon stack for icon named ... Is it safe to ignore it? Is there a way to fix it? Thank you.

Under Xcode 26 beta 3 I'm trying to build a project which uses Metal. I've installed the Metal Toolchain 26.0 under Settings -> Components, but when I start a build it fails during the "Prepare build" step with the following error (repeated many times): stat(/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.1.5276.7.Pb9SLL/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang): No such file or directory (2) I've confirmed that there is in fact no 'clang' binary in that directory. I've tried using xcode-select to set the Xcode 26 Beta app as the active developer directory, and xcodebuild -version shows: Xcode 26.0 Build version 17A5276g Any ideas on other things to try?

App Icon created with Icon Composer is empty for visionOS app We are developing a universal app, and the app’s icon was created using Icon Composer. Xcode 26, RC visionOS 26 and visionOS 2.5 App Icons on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS are correct We have archived the app for macOS and iOS and successfully uploaded it to the App Store. This strongly suggests that the App Icon configuration in our project settings is correct for these platforms. App Icon issue on visionOS However, the visionOS app icon is not working as expected: When testing on the Vision Pro simulator (versions 2.x and 26.0), the app icon appears empty. When archiving and submitting to the App Store, the process fails with the following error: The app’s Info.plist file is missing the CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon key for the visionOS App Icon. This suggests that the project’s App Icon settings may not be correctly applied for visionOS builds. Request for assistance We are preparing to release our app, one of the first to support Liquid Glass, and would greatly appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue with the visionOS app icon.

I just downloaded the latest Xcode 26 RC version, after the Apple Event. However, it prevents me from uploading the app to App Store Connect. I was able to upload and set up public TestFlight using the Xcode 26 beta version, and have been doing that for weeks. But the RC doesn't allow me to upload? I've also updated MacOS to 26 RC as well, not sure if that's an issue.

Hi, When submitting my iOS app that integrates the TwilioVoice SDK (v6.12.1+), validation fails with the following error: Upload failed with errors: Validation failed The app references non-public selectors in Payload/careqb.app/careqb: _isKeyDown, _modifiedInput, _modifierFlags (ID: 34774fb-ba69-4131-904f-694aead106d7) Steps to reproduce: Integrate TwilioVoice using CocoaPods (v6.12.1). Archive the app in Xcode 16.x. Validate for App Store Connect. Question: Is this a known false positive in App Store validation, or is TwilioVoice exposing private APIs internally? What’s the recommended way to proceed until Twilio releases a fix? Thanks, Ashutosh

Works fine to show achievements but not Leaderboards. Launching the Xcode Project directly on device, loading remote (not yet live) leaderboards without issue and submitting scores to them works fine as well. I was hoping that rather than going through the app store distribution leaderboards with all of their limitations I could instead run it locally and add scores to test the behaviour, but even though I can edit the achievements progress locally, I can't see any leaderboards being available... One out of 3 leaderboards started beginning of this september while the other 2 leaderboards won't launch until the game launch.
