What happened to the "Preview Content" folder for new projects?

Based on some blog posts, a "Preview Content" folder would automatically be created for a new SwiftUI project.

Did this change for Xcode 26? (I'm using Xcode 26.6).

It appears I can create a "Preview Content" group manually, but I would need to add "Preview Assets" manually, and update DEVELOPMENT_ASSET_PATHS in the build settings.

I selected SwiftUI when creating the project. Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry to hear this was confusing. This was removed from the Xcode new-project templates starting in Xcode 16.3 .

You've identified the right steps to adding it to a project which one now does need to do manually if you want the Preview Assets asset catalog to be present.
