I use Xcode 14 Beta to create a Background Download extension target for a simple test. But none of the extension callbacks is called after I install the debug version or ad-hoc version. I've checked the system console log for detail research but found nothing.
Is there any debug tool to trigger this mechanism or sample project I can test?
Xcode 14 Beta 3 has been released today, which includes support for simulating the extension on an attached iOS device.
man backgroundassets-debug
Seems like still not working.

Great question! We recognize that this is a current limitation with developing a background assets extension. We're working on a solution that will help you trigger your extension entry points.
We'll update the documentation once the tool is available. [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundassets)

Seems like backgroundassets-debug is not working.
I use backgroundassets-debug -s --app-update --app-bundle-id *** --device-id yyy to test a new BackgroundDownloadHandler. But the console.app tells us that the extension is kill by SpringBoard.

Thanks for letting us know, we're looking into this issue. It looks like your extension is crashing and that this isn't related to the new backgroundassets-debug tool.
Feel free to also file a bug report so we can track external impact, and so you can be notified when the issue is resolved.
I create a new extension sample, then add some NSLog. Nothing special in the extension.
