I have a test target in my app MacPacker (download via github.com/sarensw/MacPacker as this is open source). I want to remove the test target in Xcode. However, Xcode crashes when I try to delete it.

I have submitted an issue in the Feedback app (FB20976404). I'm posting here to see if anyone else has the same issue and has a workaround. Or, maybe there is an alternative way to get rid of a target?

Steps to reproduce:

Open project file
Select test target in TARGETS on the left side of the project file editor
Click the “-“ button to remove that target

Found in: Xcode 26.1 (and also before in Xcode 26.0)

Hi Albert, thanks for the quick reply. The issue is still in "Open" in the Feedback app. But it is only one day old, so that is expected. Just wanted to reach out here if anyone has had a similar issue and found a workaround. I have the latest official XCode rn (Version 26.1 (17B55)). I might install the xcode beta and see if it is solved then.
