Hi guys!
I have gone through an absolute nightmare, trying to solve the issue that I am about to tell you about.
As the title says, I am getting the error:
Library '/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/17/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a' not found
I trimmed off part of that directory as I did not want to reveal that information about my computer.
From what I can tell, the file in question is no longer even a part of Xcode. I have searched, it is not on my computer anywhere.
I have also downloaded older versions of Xcode to search with it. None of them have it.
I have literally tried everything under the Son to solve this issue.
I have been stuck on it for two days.
I have even resorted to doing something I hate, which is asking for ChatGPT to assist me with solving the issue. No help there.
I am at my wits end. So I am coming to you guys, have you seen this error?
Any ideas at all? The odds are pretty good whatever you recommend I have probably already tried 200 times over. But I am still open to hearing anything.
Have any of you had this error? Any ideas?
I am on the latest version of macOS.
The project is for a macOS app.
M4 Mac mini.
Any additional information I can provide, that will be helpful?
At this point, I am leaning more towards this being a bug with Xcode than anything.

Hello Apple Support,
I’m facing an issue with Background Fetch in my React Native project. When I click on Simulate Background Fetch in Xcode, everything works as expected on the iOS Simulator—background tasks run smoothly, and data is fetched without issues. However, on a real device, the app goes to the background but doesn’t execute any of the scheduled background tasks, and it also remains in the background without terminating.
Here’s some additional context:
React Native Project: I’m using React Native to develop this app, and the background tasks involve:
Getting User Location: Fetching the user’s location in the background.
API Calls: Calling an API to fetch necessary information based on the user’s location.
Scheduling Notifications and Alarms: Scheduling notifications and alarms based on the API response data.
Simulator vs. Real Device:
In the iOS Simulator, all these background tasks trigger and function correctly when I simulate Background Fetch.
On the real device, however, none of these tasks are triggered when I try to simulate Background Fetch. The app only moves to the background without performing any tasks or getting terminated.
Device and Configuration Details:
iOS Version: 17
Device Model: Iphone xs, Iphone 11, iphone 7
Background Modes: Background Fetch is enabled in Capabilities, and I’ve set the fetch interval to the minimum for testing.
I’ve verified that all configurations are correctly set, and I’ve tried restarting the device and Xcode, but the issue persists. Is there something specific about Background Fetch that could prevent it from functioning as expected on physical devices? Any guidance on troubleshooting or additional steps would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
When I try to get a new API Key I get the following error.
"API Keys cannot be created due to an invalid Program License Agreement. Please update this agreement and try your request again."
I have been to the agreement section, and it says:
"Issued October 8, 2025. Accepted November 19, 2025."
Any idea why I still get this error??
Not sure if that makes a difference. I had a paid account, but I didn't renew it because I don't need it anymore, and I was told that I can still use this account for free for app testing.

Hi:
Apple's SDK (libSystem.B.tbd) provides definition for multiple symbols(__unw_add_dynamic_fde / __unw_add_find_dynamic_unwind_sections ), but doesn't provide corresponding headers, available in LLVM upstream as libunwind_ext.h
We need such headers to write Exception-Enabled JIT Framework for macOS
I am working on a Swift package which uses CoreAudio, and includes some tests in a testTarget which use the Testing framework, and a couple of executableTarget targets which exercise the same code. I'm using Xcode 16.2 on macOS 15.3.1.
One of the things I do in the test code is create a HAL plugin, then find that plugin using the kAudioHardwarePropertyTranslateUIDToDevice.
Finding the plugin that I just created always fails from within a Swift Testing test, unless I run the test which creates the plugin individually first, then separately, run the test which finds the plugin, by clicking on the little arrows next to the function names.
If I put the tests in a serialized suite (so creation always happens first, then finding), running the suite always fails - it creates the plugin, but can't find it. If I run the 'find my plugin' test again manually, it is always found.
If I call the same functions from a regular executable (the thing created by a "executableTarget" in my .package.swift file), the just-created plugin is always found.
Is there a way to mimic the runtime environment of a regular executable in a Swift Testing target, or am I misunderstanding something?
this my be related to this issue: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/76882 but I don't understand it well enough to be sure.
Hello,
In my IOS app, I have been working on implementing a third-party library's xcframework into my app. (They don't provide spm or cocoapods). However, whenever I import the XCFramework into my app, the build is successful, but when uploading to App Store Connect, I receive an email with an error stating the Swift Support folder is missing. This app was made using SwiftUI. I have a sample project linked below. Other apps also use this framework, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
Project
The project at hand is quite complex, and the link content is especially.
I suddenly saw this warning again in recent days and wanted to inquire about when this deletion would be done, so that our team could make preparations and plan in advance.
I would like to inquire about a concern related to the app review process. Specifically, I would like to understand if forcefully denying an application's execution on the iOS Simulator (for instance, by implementing a check in the code that prevents the app from running in a simulated environment) could negatively impact or delay the app’s approval during the App Store review process.
This measure is intended solely for security and integrity reasons during development and distribution. The app functions normally on real devices, and all other guidelines and requirements outlined by Apple are being strictly followed.
Could you please confirm whether such a restriction on the Simulator is acceptable, and if there are any best practices or recommendations from Apple regarding this?
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to your guidance.

Hello,
I’m trying to test a Xamarin.iOS application using the iOS 26 simulators in Mac Visual Studio, but I’m encountering an issue where the simulators are not appearing or accessible from Visual Studio.
Details:
macOS version: 15.6 (24G84)
Xcode version: 26 Beta 5
Visual Studio version: 17.6.0.80
Xamarin.iOS version: Xamarin.Forms (Version: 4.6.0.1180) using XAML for cross-platform support (iOS/Android)
The problem started after updating to iOS 26 SDK. I am unable to select or run the app on any iOS 26 simulator from Visual Studio.
Has anyone faced a similar issue? Is there any configuration or workaround to enable iOS 26 simulators for Xamarin projects?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, experts,
I want to find Siri response window by bundle id and use it for checking or printing, here is my example code:
XCUIDevice.shared.siriService.activate(voiceRecognitionText: "call mom")
let siriApp = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "***")
// Print out text from siriApp,
// expecte print: "Sorry, I can't make a phone call with your iphone."
Where should I put into ***?
I tried "com.apple.SiriViewService", "com.apple.siri.velocity", "com.apple.springboard' but nothing work
Any suggestion appreciated, thanks!
Hello, my app has a custom font for some UI elements. When building with XCODE to my local device, all works and looks great. When distributing with TestFlight, the font doesn't seem to apply!
Yes, I've included the .ttf in my Development assets, anyone else having this issue with the TestFlight Distribution of their app?
Hi all,
I’m developing a watchOS app and have seen cases where the app is terminated by the system — for example, due to CPU usage limits being exceeded (watchdog termination). Here’s a portion of one of the crash reports:
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Termination Reason: CAROUSEL 2343432205
<RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation:[app<app_name>:898] Failed to terminate gracefully after 5.0s
ProcessVisibility: Foreground
ProcessState: Running
WatchdogEvent: process-exit
WatchdogVisibility: Foreground
WatchdogCPUStatistics: (
"Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 11.280 (user 9.800, system 1.480), 100% CPU",
"Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 5.162, 46% CPU"
) reportType:CrashLog maxTerminationResistance:Interactive>
My questions:
1.) Is there any way to get notified (via Crashlytics, Xcode Organizer, or any other reporting mechanism) when this type of system-level termination happens — similar to how we’re notified of crashes?
2.)Is there any way for a watchOS app to receive runtime warnings from the system when it’s about to exceed CPU or memory limits — similar to UIApplication.didReceiveMemoryWarningNotification on iOS?
Thanks in advance!

By default, it seems 15.6 is shipped with
git version 2.39.5 (Apple Git-154)
I was wondering when Apple will ship a Git version above 2.43 to resolve this vulnerability.
Git Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) Vulnerability (CVE-2025-48384)
https://github.com/git/git/security/advisories/GHSA-vwqx-4fm8-6qc9
You can install Homebrew then install newer versions of git using Homebrew; however that installs in a new location so the vulnerability is still present as the native version is behind and updated by Apple during software updates
Thanks
We are looking for a platform or portal provided by Apple that allows us to track crashes, hangs, or other runtime issues faced by users while using our iOS/macOS application. This is similar to how we currently use Windows Error Reporting (WER) for our Windows application.
Important note: Our application is not distributed via the Apple App Store — it is delivered through enterprise distribution or ad-hoc provisioning.

Hi Team,
I’ve tried downloading the EnableBluetoothCentralMatterClientDeveloperMode.mobileconfig certificate from multiple sources, but all the links I found point to expired versions.
Could you please help me with the URL to the latest version of this certificate?
Here are the links I’ve already tried, but none of them worked:

Looking forward to your support.
Thanks,

By default, AppleClang adds /usr/local/include to the application search folders for include files (as opposed to the system include dirs). This causes problems with the expected include order because application search folders always have priority over system includes. Specifically it causes problems with the conan package manager as library includes are added with -isystem
This behaviour differs from LLVM mainline clang and GCC, where /usr/local/include is a system include (added with -internal-isystem).
Steps to reproduce -
run
echo 'int main() { return 0; }' | clang -xc -v -
the output is as follows
Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang-1700.0.13.5)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin24.5.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang" ... -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

I'm using Xcode 16.3 and I want to add the key "NSUbiquitousContainers" but I cannot do it in the Entitlements file, it should be in info.plist file! I have done it before but in previous versions of Xcode when the info.plist was in the project navigator.
However, now I cannot find the file and I did not find any way to create it!
Please guide me in detail how to proceed (I'm not new to Swift or SwiftUI but not familiar to project settings)?
How can I get the macOS version from the Mac Catalyst version? We're building Info.plist files ourselves but we need a way to programatically (using shell scripts) derive the LSMinimumSystemVersion key needed from the iOS deployment target.
My Apple developer certificates(4 certificates) expire soon. I'm developing an application for iOS but the application is not yet released in the App Store, only Testflight releases for private testing.
Is it necessary to create 4 new certificates or can I edit the current certificates so that they don't expire soon?
