Hi, I'm unable to install provisioning profile on my iPad and I know the xcode component iOS/iPadOs version and iPadOS version should be same or below the latest compared to xcode components. Now the issue is xcode component version is iOS 18.4 (22E235) SDK + iOS 18.4 (22E238) Simulator (Installed) and iPadOS version is iOS 18.4.1(22E252) could this be cause of issue ? If yes then when will apple release components for 18.4.1? Because iOS 18.4.1 release at least 3-4 weeks before this post.

After upgrading to iOS 18.4, I noticed that launching a debug build from Xcode becomes extremely slow. The same app with the same large debug binary (~1GB) launches normally on devices running iOS 18.3. This issue seems specific to iOS 18.4, possibly related to the way the OS handles large debug binaries or symbols during the launch process. Steps to Reproduce: Connect an iPhone running iOS 18.4 to a Mac with Xcode. Build and run an app using Xcode in Debug mode. Observe the extended launch time. Re-run the same process on another iPhone with iOS 18.3 — launch is fast. Expected Result: Debug launch should be fast and consistent across iOS versions. Actual Result: Debug launch is significantly slower on iOS 18.4 for large binaries (~1GB). Environment: Xcode version: 16.0 macOS version: 15.4 Device: iPhone [model] iOS version: 18.4 (problematic), 18.3 (no issue)

I am using my real device and the Xcode Preview which works pretty fine. I do not want to show an empty canvas pane all the time. But when hiding the canvas, the preview pauses. I tried the refresh shortkey (OPT + CMD + P), too, while canvas is invisible. Why must the canvas be visible even there is no content besides "Previewing on iPhone from..." Info? I hope there is a workaround to hide the canvas while pushing to real devices.

I have an Watch APP and it's iOS APP .. I want to test it via the Simulator. (with my real Watch I have a lot of Xcode error and an open ticket with Apple) Xcode 16.2 associates an Iphone16 to the Series 10 Watch simulated. BUT the Watch is not associeted to the iPhone. WCSession.isSupported is true, but session.isPaired is false on the iPhone. On the Watch : session.isReachable returns false. But in its settings the Simulator shows the Watch. And It is the same problem with another model of Watch in the Simulator.

So I use two MacBooks for work and different levels of projects, updated MacBook 1, and I was about to download and install Predictive Code Completion Model and IOS 18.4 Runtime. But doing the same for my second MacBook isn't working... I've been searching for days now, and the deadline for submission is fast approaching. I need help on this. At first, I thought it was a network thing and had to rush to my friends, but the same issue and nothing better IOS 18.4 Error `Download failed.

I have the this issue when I run the app on iOS Simulator after updating to app to make it compatible with Xcode-16 and iOS-18. after upgradation to Xcode-16 its giving the above error "Executable path is a directory" .This app work fine on Xcode-15 . Note - The issue with iOS Simulator only. From XCode-16 build is created successfully and installed in iOS device.

Hi, I followed Xcode’s recommendation and migrated to the new strings format (*.strings → *.xcstrings) using the Migrate to String Catalog option. My project has two build targets: MyAppName MyAppNameVFSCopy Every time I build one or the other target, the value in the .xcstrings file changes under CFBundleName > en > stringUnit > value, switching between MyAppName and MyAppNameVFSCopy. As a result, Git detects a change in source control each time, which is quite annoying. How can I prevent this from happening? After building MyAppNameVFSCopy target, the "value" is MyAppNameVFSCopy "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppNameVFScopy" } } } } After building MyAppName target, the "value" changes to MyAppName "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppName" } } } } Deleting CFBundleName from *.xcstrings file didn't help. CFBundleName is automatically created again after building target. Both targets has it's on plist file. In those files: <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string> Attaching full xcstrings file InfoPlist.xcstrings

When I try to look at any variable in the debugger, I get a bunch of errors complaining about inability to find a file in a location that should not exist on my machine... I just upgraded form xCode 15.2, which worked fine, but now I basically cannot debug. Who is this liangchenying? It's almost like the new version was shipped with some developer's paths hard-coded in the configuration.

I have a valid dev certificate and created a valid provisioning Profile. I have added the Device UDID too , which I can see in provisioning Profile too. In XCode-16 both certificate and provisioning Profile looks good and no issue here with the expiration date too. Issue - While running the app on my iPhone connected to Mac.its shows the build is successful but shows the followinf errors . An IPA of APP failing the installation. Unable to install the App `A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found. Domain: com.apple.dt.MobileDeviceErrorDomain`

Unable to Submit iOS App for App Review Due to Incorrect Beta Xcode Error I'm encountering an issue when trying to submit a new build of my iOS app to the App Store. The app launches from TestFlight without any problems, but when attempting to submit it for App Review, I get the following error: "This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can’t be submitted." However, I'm not using a beta version of Xcode. I've tested this with both the public releases of Xcode 16.3 and 16.2. The build logs show no issues with the SDK or Platform versions, but in App Store Connect, the metadata is displaying the following: Build SDK: $(SDK_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) Build Platform: $(PLATFORM_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

We have a Privileged Helper tool that we install with SMJobBless. I would like to debug it. I've added WaitForDebugger in our helper tool launchd plist and it does wait. But I can't attach to it via Debug->Attach to Process in Xcode with error: Code: 3 Failure Reason: tried to attach to process as user 'myusername' and process is running as user 'root' I set Debug process as: root in scheme settings. But I'm not sure if it does anything since I'm not running this particular scheme at the moment of attach. I tried unsuccessfully to set "Wait for the executable to be launched" but I had to create a new scheme for it since helper is built as part of the main app so maybe I did something wrong. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to attach to root process?

Hi Experts, Could you please help. Issue at high level: After Editing a View contains a Table entries, saved and hit back button to display View, Table entries are duplicated or displaying previous and current entries together. Here is my Issue in detailed. List view display, clicking on any row, would navigate to DisplayView of a record. I am displaying a table in DisplayView. DisplayView contains "row" as parameter, and it must be initialized in "init" method, where I use row.key and fetch another table (say ColorTab) using Color.Key. DisplayView contains "NavigationView", with Edit button. it displays fetched Colors. example Red and Green. when user click on Edit, it takes to EditPage. user can remove / add colors. Once user made changes, saved and hit back button. Table entries are duplicated or showing previous and current entries. Options tried, a) init method is only triggering 1st time, not triggering when back button clicked, I failed to use FetchRequest outside of init method, I tried on OnAppear too. i didn't trigger. b) Failed to use FetchRequest inside of var Body too. c) tried using viewContext.refreshAllObjects() .. it is not refreshing the table. Could you please help if there is solution for the issue. Thanks, Bhanu

If an Xcode project has some compiler flags set in Build Phases / Compile Sources, then is it possible to have those enabled if scheme A is selected and disabled if scheme B is selected. Same question for things in Build Settings, such as Other Compiler Flags. I suppose it could be achieved by having two targets, one with things enabled and one without, but for a very large complex project, duplicating targets is not necessarily an easy thing to do.

Is anyone else receiving this warning from Xcode when running on the Simulator? "Failed retrieving MusicKit tokens: fetching the developer token is not supported in the simulator when running on this version of macOS; please upgrade your Mac to macOS Ventura." My Mac is already updated to macOS Sequoia, and I'm also running the latest version of Xcode. Feedback: FB17150538

The “Deployment Targets” for iOS was IOS12 or higher in Xcode15, but is now listed as IOS15 or higher in Xcode16. https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ How does this change affect developers and users? For example, if a developer specifies less than iOS15 in the “iOS Deployment Target” on Xcode, how will this affect them? Also, will users under iOS 15 be unable to run the apps?

We have started facing an issue after updating Xcode from version 15.2 to 16, we have a voip application with webview and call kit, and we have the Background Modes capabilities: Voip, Audio, Background fetch, and Background processing. We had no problem on Xcode 15, but ever since updating Xcode 16 and sdk 18, when app goes into the background during an active call, the app is suspended and no events are triggered UNTIL the app is resumed to the foreground.

I have a project I've been working off of for a few years now that makes use of local Swift Packages. In my workspace, I have a "Kit" project that generates a framework using several local Swift Packages as dependencies. In Xcode 12, the local Swift packages resolve correctly and compiles, but each beta of Xcode 13 gives me the error: "[ProjectName].xcodeproj Missing package product '[LocalSwiftPackage]'" Clearing the package cache, derived data, or restarting the application does not resolve the issue. Only Swift Packages that are remotely loaded from a URL are compiled correctly. Using local packages to separate module code, while still being able to edit in the same project, has been essential to my workflow and would hate to see Xcode 13 release with these breaking changes, and I have not seen this issue listed in the known issues for the Xcode 13 release notes. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround?

I'm trying to create a preview for my live activities when it's stale, so I created a preview provider. I followed some examples, but XCode says I'm missing preview context. Am I doing something wrong? I tried adding .previewContext(WidgetPreviewContext(family: .systemSmall)) but that doesn't seem to work.

Syntax highlighting & code autocompletion is broken for Swift Packages wrapping an underlying binary target. Jump to defenition for module import shows the whole module interface and project builds & archives just fine, but any known workarounds to resurrect syntax assistant won't work without any errors/warnings. Replacing the .binaryTarget() with plain .target() with source code in package dependency brings all assistant features back. Steps to reproduce (project attached): Create a local Swift Package Add a dependency with binary target (for example — AppsFlyerFramework https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/AppsFlyerFramework) Try to use dependency product with binary dependency Attempted steps to fix: Full DD clean Full project clean ~15 min to index Xcode 16.0 & Sonoma 14.6.1, problem persists with Xcode16.2 & Sequoia.
