This is a major issue. After my iPhone 12 Pro was upgraded to iOS 26 beta 6, Apple's official Wi-Fi Aware Sample APP crashed immediately and couldn't be opened. It just force closes.
Has any developer encountered this problem?
Wi-Fi Aware Sample APP crashes on iOS 26 beta 6
If our sample code is crashing out of the box, it’s always worth filing a bug about that. It’s gotta be either a problem with the sample or a problem with the OS, or maybe a problem with Xcode. Regardless, it’s our issues to fix.
Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Hmmm, or maybe not.
I tried reproducing this in my office, but couldn’t. Here’s what I did:
- On macOS 15.5, I opened Xcode 26.0b5 (17A5295f).
- I downloaded a fresh copy of the Building peer-to-peer apps sample.
- In Signing & Capabilities, I selected my team in the popup.
- I chose my test iPhone 16 as the run destination. It’s running iOS 26.0b6 (23A5318c).
- I chose Product > Run.
- The app built successfully and ran on the device.
I did do a full test here, but it launches just fine, to the point where I see the Host Simulation and View Simulation buttons.
Please review my steps to see if I did anything wrong. If not, please repeat them yourself and let me know if you continue to see the crash.

@DTS Engineer Is the iOS 26.0 Universal Simulator（23A5308g） required to be downloaded? macOS 15.5, Xcode 26.0b5
Xcode 26.0 has been released. You need to test with it. It contains many fixed relative to the Xcode 26 beta that you’re currently using.
