Xcode 27.0: Apple TV Simulators fail to navigate to some buttons in a UIViewController via keyboard arrows. Works fine with Xcode 26 (Siri Remote) simulator and also works as expected on an actual Siri Remote for Apple TV device running tvOS 27 Beta. Anyone else experience issues with navigating their app's UI using the Mac keyboard in Device Hub? Any tips for tracking this down?

First of all, let me just state that I'm trying to create an app with an AI, so if that's not allowed in this forum, let me know. I'm not an experienced app developer, far from it, so please excuse my ignorance. I have used PC/Windows machines for decades, so the Apple/Mac stuff is foreign to me. My app development but ran into a snag. We're trying to get the app in Xcode to test run on my iPhone 16 Pro. It works in the simulator but fails on the iPhone. It all boils down to the keychain password that keeps popping up. I have only created four different passwords for Apple/Mac and Keychain won't accept any of them. How do I change the keychain password? I have read articles on it but no luck. Appreciate any help. '24 Mac Mini, M4, Tahoe 26.6.2 Xcode 26.6

I am unable to download and install the iOS Simulator runtime in Xcode 26.6. Environment: MacBook Air with Apple silicon macOS Tahoe 26.6 Xcode 26.6 Build version 17F113 xcode-select -p: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer xcodebuild -showsdks correctly reports: Simulator - iOS 26.5 -sdk iphonesimulator26.5 However: xcrun simctl list runtimes returns: == Runtimes == No Simulator runtime is installed. In: Xcode > Settings > Components I attempted to install: iOS 26.5.1 + iOS 26.5 Simulator but it remains at: Preparing... for a very long time without actually downloading the runtime. I also tried: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS This eventually failed with: Download was cancelled exit code 70 I also tried: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads/XcodePlatforms The destination directory remains at 0 bytes. Checks already completed: More than 860 GiB free disk space Mac restarted Xcode quit and reopened xcode-select points to the correct Xcode installation /etc/hosts contains no Apple blocking entries gdmf.apple.com resolves correctly HTTPS connectivity to gdmf.apple.com works Apple MobileAsset / software update services are running iOS Simulator SDK itself is installed correctly The project can compile for iphonesimulator26.5, but Simulator execution and tests are blocked because no runtime can be installed. Questions: Is this a known issue with Xcode 26.6? Is there an official alternative way to download the iOS Simulator runtime? Can I install an earlier supported iOS Simulator runtime instead? Is there a MobileAsset or Xcode cache reset procedure recommended by Apple? Thank you.

In a Playground in Xcode 27 beta 6 I don't see a way to make a new page. It used to be File->New->Playground Page. That menu item is missing. The keyboard shortcut still exists, but it produces an error "No valid file actions for insertion." Am I missing an alternative? Or is this no longer possible?

The in-app purchase payment function of the TestFlight package always defaults to providing products from the United States, even if I log in with an AppStore account from the Chinese region. The products obtained are still from the United States. Only when I make the purchase and am prompted to log in to the sandbox account will Chinese products be displayed. Storefront.current = USA

When I use Xcode 26.6, MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2, for debugging and hit a breakpoint, using "step over" very often causes the debugger to freeze at a random line of code on other threads. Clicking "Pause program execution" indicates that the line is being executed randomly on other threads, but the breakpoint never exits, seemingly causing a freeze. At this point, if I then place a breakpoint just after the point where I was stepping on the thread which I was debugging before the freeze, hitting "Continue Program Execution", ofter - but not always - the debugger returns to the new breakpoint which I placed after the freeze. I am using Xcode on Apple Silicon M4 based Mac, our app is a ObjC application for MacOS and it is native for Apple Silicon. The current situation with Xcode 26.6 significantly reduces our development efficiency. What could be causing this, and is there a solution?

Does Xcode support the equivalent of 'git add -p' from Terminal? I noticed that if I use 'git add -p', Xcode will show me the lines that I have staged. But, I don't see a way to select the lines from within Xcode. GUI support for that git feature would be nice. Regards, Patrick

Installing a development build on a physical iPhone fails with: 0xE8008018 - The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid. On the same Mac, same iPhone, same codebase and same Xcode, switching to a free personal Apple ID team installs and runs with no error. Only builds signed with our paid organisation team fail. Nothing else changes between the two runs. We have already regenerated certificates and provisioning profiles, deleted the profiles folder, cleared DerivedData, removed old identities from the keychain, trusted the profile on device, and tried both automatic and manual signing. None of it changes the result. We have also gone through the existing threads on this error and none of the suggested fixes apply. The build validates locally but the device rejects the identity. Since the signing team is the only variable between success and failure, what should we be looking at? A support case is open with Developer Support but we have not had a technical response yet.

Hi systems programming guys. I’m exploring the macOS as a low-level itself, so when I use the otool(1) utility to inspect a tiny objc helloworld program, it told me that there is a shared library like /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (not identical) but I didn’t find that in path /usr/lib/. Also the docs sucked (see below). I want to know more details about the objc runtime on macOS (beta 27.6 +) and be seeking for help here because there are few materials online and not even to say the sucked AI. The prima motivation is the runtime itself and how it works. Of course I would love to read disassembled code and manpages or using utilities that Apple offered to understand those things . But I really don’t know where is the runtime if both docs and otool output lied. The latest documentation about Objective-C Runtime is outdate and it said “Objective-C runtime library support functions are implemented in the shared library found at /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib.”

Hello! I was recently trying out XCTHitchMetric with my MTKView and it doesn't seem to record anything. But if I use the Animation Hitches instrument then I do see the hitches get recorded when a frame is presented on screen later than expected. I'm curious if there is a reason for this or maybe I am missing something?

I constantly manually allow Codex to read Xcode 27 skills, but I don't want to allow it to read from any arbitrary directory, so I didn't enable always allow AgentRead. Question is in the title

MacBook Air (Apple silicon), macOS 26.6.2 (25G83). I have a persistent CoreSimulator/MobileAsset issue. I do not have an Xcode project, Simulator devices, or an active need for iOS Simulator runtimes. Using Apple’s signed CoreSimulator simctl binary, I removed iOS 18.4 (22E238) and iOS 18.5 (22F77) through the documented: simctl runtime delete workflow, after simctl reported each runtime as Ready, Verified, and Deletable. Immediately after deletion, the runtime registration and mounted runtime image disappeared. However, after a normal Mac restart or later CoreSimulator service activity, both runtimes reappear under new image UUIDs and are automatically mounted read-only again. The underlying Apple MobileAsset parents remain present and report NeverCollected: iOS 18.4 / build 22E238: about 8.9 GiB iOS 18.5 / build 22F77: about 8.9 GiB The related CoreSimulator dyld cache also rebuilds to about 7.1 GiB. I have not manually deleted protected Apple assets, killed Apple services, or modified mounts. The only removal attempted was Apple’s own simctl runtime delete command. Expected result: After a successful documented runtime deletion, the runtime should remain unregistered and unmounted, and the Apple-managed backing storage/cache should become reclaimable through a supported process. Observed result: The same runtime builds return after restart/service activity, with new UUIDs and automatic mounts, while their retained MobileAssets remain. Could Apple please advise why CoreSimulator/MobileAsset reconciliation is re-registering deleted runtimes, whether NeverCollected prevents supported cleanup, and what supported procedure can permanently remove or reconcile these unused runtimes? Useful read-only checks: SIMCTL_PATH=/Library/Developer/PrivateFrameworks/CoreSimulator.framework/Versions/A/Resources/bin/simctl "$SIMCTL_PATH" list runtimes "$SIMCTL_PATH" runtime list -v du -skx /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches/dyld

I tried to upload my build into testflight with XCode -> Product -> Archive -> Distribute App but this error keeps showing up: "No Team Found in Archive, Use the Signing & Capabilities editor to assign a team to the targets and build a new archive." However, my Apple ID IS connected and the bundle ID is the same as in my App Store Connect. What can I do? I tried deleting all archives, restarting Xcode & my Mac, still nothing happend. I can't get it to upload...

Hi everyone, I’m currently running macOS 27.0 beta (26A5388g) on my Mac, along with the latest Xcode 27 beta, and I’ve recently started experiencing a serious issue where multiple macOS system services are repeatedly crashing. Initially, I started getting repeated “intelligencetasksd quit unexpectedly” notifications. At first it happened occasionally, but it has now become extremely frequent. After dismissing one crash notification, another system service often crashes shortly afterward. I’ve also seen services related to Intelligence / intents crashing. The notifications keep appearing one after another to the point where I’m barely able to use the Mac normally — including difficulty typing and interacting with applications. The issue is not limited to Xcode. It appears to affect macOS system services themselves. System information Mac: Mac15,2 (Apple silicon) macOS: macOS 27.0 beta, build 26A5388g Xcode: Xcode 27 beta Issue started: After running the macOS beta for some time; it has progressively become more frequent Main process initially crashing: intelligencetasksd Path shown in crash report: IntelligenceTasksEngine.framework/Support/intelligencetasksd Exception: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) I have attached a screenshot of the crash report showing the intelligencetasksd crash. Has anyone else experienced this on macOS 27 beta? Is there a known issue with the new Intelligence/Intents services, or is there a recommended way to reset/rebuild the relevant system components? At this point the repeated crashes are making the Mac extremely difficult to use, so I’d really appreciate any troubleshooting steps or information about whether this is a known beta issue. Thanks!

When a view combines .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) with a custom ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) back button, both controls render side by side in the navigation bar — the system back button is not fully suppressed, only visually emptied. This appears to be related to the new Liquid Glass toolbar platter system introduced this cycle. Environment Xcode 27 beta 3 iOS Version : 27.0 Reproduces on: Simulator 16.0 (1063.4) SimulatorKit 955.7 CoreSimulator 1168 Steps to Reproduce Create a NavigationStack with a root view and a pushed detail view. On the detail view, set .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true). Also add a custom back button via .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) { Button { dismiss() } label: { HStack { Image(systemName: "chevron.backward"); Text("Back") } } } }. Expected Result Only the custom "Back" button (chevron + text) is visible. Actual Result Two back-button-shaped controls appear side by side: an empty/default system back button platter, and the custom "Back" button. Confirmed via Xcode's View Debugger (Debug ▸ View Debugging ▸ Capture View Hierarchy): two sibling UIPlatformGlassInteractionView nodes exist under NavigationBarPlatterContainer_v2 ▸ PlatterContainerHostingView. One wraps a bare, unlabeled _UIButtonBarButton (the system-generated back control); the other wraps a BarItemView containing the app's custom Button (chevron + "Back" text). Both are laid out as independent glass platters rather than being merged into one leading toolbar group. Minimal Reproducible Project Attached: [BackButtonDuplicationRepro.zip] — a stripped-down single-screen repro isolating just this behavior (no navigation stack customization, no third-party code). Related report This looks like the same underlying issue as thread 812048 ("Toolbar Rendering Bug — ToolbarItem Duplication when Back Button Hidden"), which an Apple DTS engineer has already responded to requesting a reproducible project — hopefully this attached project + View Debugger evidence helps move that along. Also potentially related: thread 814816 (hidesSharedBackground not working for backBarButtonItem), which points at the same general area of the new Liquid Glass toolbar/platter system.
