Adding XCFramework creates swift support folder missing error.
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

Add static c library to xcode/swift
Hi, I want to build an ios app that uses static c libraries. For reference, i did the following as a test: Compiled a simple c date and time program with clang -c -arch arm64 -sysroot <iPhoneOSSDK_path> date.c -o date_arm64.o Created the static lib ar rcs libdatetime_arm64.a date_arm64.o Added the lib in my Xcode project. Added the (.a) file in Build Rules -> Link Binary With Libraries Included the (.a) and (.h) file path in Build Settings -> Search Paths -> Header and Library Search Path Created a Bridging-Header.h file where I added #import "date.h" In my App.swift file, I called the function for getting the date and time let dateTimeStr = String(cString: get_current_datetime()) print("Current Date and Time: \(dateTimeStr)") After doing all the steps above, I am met with the error - Cannot find 'get_current_datetime' in scope Is there any other method to use static c libraries in xcode?

Discrepancies in MetricKit and Xcode Organizer Data
We recently integrated MetricKit into our app; however, the 90th percentile data does not seem to match the data in Xcode Organizer. The values reported by MetricKit appear to be higher. Additionally, it looks like data for previous app versions is not being updated in Organizer as adoption of the latest version increases. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could there be a delay in data updates for older versions in Organizer? Are there any known limitations or best practices for ensuring consistency between MetricKit and Xcode Organizer data? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Issue while creating ipa in release mode
I have an MAUI based application build and ready for the distribution. The application is working perfectly in the debug environment on the simulator. So the app logic is working correctly as expected without any errors. But when a release build is created the application crashes on the simulator and physical device. I'm developing the application using .Net 10 framework with target device iOS 26. The Supported OS Platform is set to 15.0 in csproj file. Also have the entitlements. plist file set in the csproj. The IDe used is Visual Studio Code for Mac (MAC OS). The application uses MSAL for the login / authentication purpose (Microsoft.Identity.Client) and SQLite Database (Sqlite-net-pcl) Message: Kindly guide me to build the application correctly in release version and get the ipa file ready for the in house distribution that could be deployed correctly on the physical device with iOS 18 / 26.

Can I get notified when my watchOS app is terminated by the system (e.g. watchdog)?
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!

Is there a way for two users to make development builds on separate accounts for one app?
Tech stack: React Native + Expo. We are using two solo developer accounts (not a business or team account). Context: Friend and I set out to make an app together. Friend created app and set it up on Apple. We worked on it together. He controlled devops (builds and submission). Friend no longer can commit to development. Wants to transfer to me. I create apple developer account. After app transfer, my phone (deviceid) underwent a 14 day soft ban preventing builds. That has since been lifted. There seems to be something in place preventing me from making dev builds on the original dev bundleid. It says it's still owned by him despite the app transfer. Bottom line: what needs to happen so 1 can make dev builds? nice to have: is there a way for us to both make dev builds under the same bundleid?

On Demand Resources as Legacy Technology
I read on this documentation : https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-uploads/on-demand-resources-size-limits that On Demand Resources a legacy technology. Does this mean ODR will be deprecated? If so, when will it officially take effect? Our application is planning to use it, so we need more information to support our decision.

AppleClang adds `/usr/local/include` to application search folders
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/usr/local/include -internal-isystem /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/local/include ...

NSUbiquitousContainers
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)?

Update metadata for an already submitted feedback
I submitted a Feedback (FB17843422) on Monday evening after the keynote about Tahoe beta 1. At the time it still wasn't listed in the "What build does the issue occur on?" dropdown. I selected "I'm not sure" instead hoping I could update it later but as far as I can tell that isn't the case since "Add more information" only lets me add additional comments. Is there some way for me to do that or is it even necessary?

Lost X Code Project for a Live Application
Hello, I currently have a live application in the iOS App Store that needs an update to start functioning again, but I've lost the source code in a hard drive failure. Is there a way to reverse engineer the currently deployed package that is live (and also a way to download it from App Store Connect)⁉️ The development change itself is just a very small change for an API route in the code itself. I could even direct an engineer at Apple to make the change in 5 minutes! Let me know if this is possible. Thanks❗️

Questions about macOS App Store update package generation and optimization
Hello, According to documentation, the App Store does not re-download the entire app when updating, but instead generates an update package containing only the changed content compared to the previous version. I’d like to clarify the following points: 1. Granularity of file changes If only part of a large file changes, does the update package include the entire file, or does it patch only the modified portions within that file? 2. Guideline on separating files The documentation recommends separating files that are likely to change from those that are not. How should this be interpreted in practice? 3. Verifying the diff result Is there a way for developers to check the actual diff result of the update package generated by the App Store without submitting the app? Is there a diff command tool or comparison method closer to the actual App Store update process? 4. Estimating update size during development For apps with large-scale resources, minimizing update size is critical. Are there any tools or best practices to estimate the size of the update package before submitting to the App Store? Any clarification or reference materials would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I keep getting an error message when I try to publish my App made with Rork into Apple IOS. Message reads "Submission failed: Submission failed. Contact support. Don’t dump it on Rork — it won’t fix this. We still need a human." Any help with this would be appreciated. I am using Microsoft edge and have also used Google Chrome.
