Background Asset Override Missing

Hello,

With Xcode 27.1 RC 1, the Background Assets override inside of developer settings is now a blank page.

I see there's a new setting for background assets under Scheme < Options.

Will the URL replacement return?

Thanks

@StonedStudio I see Edit I do not see options under Scheme on Xcode, but maybe I'm not looking at the correct place, can you please provide a screenshot or a complete navigation to see that?

The only place with an options is at In Xcode (under Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme… > Run > Options),

More information and details you can provide will help engineers here figure it out and understand the question or the issue.

Thanks so much.

Hi @DTS Engineer,

With Xcode 27, there is the new runtime scheme option for serving a local asset automatically. You are correct.

Previously, assets had to be served through a server and to configure the local override, on the device, you had to go to Settings App > Developer > Background Assets Override. Then, there would be a text field where you could input your IP address.

This page is still available in os27, but the text field is missing and the page is blank.

Is it still possible to host asset packs as a local server? And if so, where has the url override moved to?

My asset packs are large, and hosted on a dedicated Mac with a pipeline that process everything.

See: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundassets/testing-asset-packs-locally#Configure-a-URL-override-in-Developer-settings

This is what I see inside of Settings > Developer and click Development Overrides on the simulators
