Xcode26: download stuck on 'fetching'
I just downloaded Xcode26, and am trying to download the new simulator to be able to run and test my app. But the downloads folder just shows that it's stuck on "Fetching download information ..." even 15 minutes after it started. I tried restarting Xcode but didn't help. Internet connection is good. Any tips to get it working?

Intelligence Features not available in Xcode 26 beta 1
At the Platform State of the Union, Apple demoed clicking a ✨ button in the Xcode toolbar to use Apple Intelligence in Xcode. I don't see that button in Xcode Version 26.0 beta (17A5241e). Am I missing it? It's supposed to be in the upper-left corner, right? Do I need to turn it on or something? I'm on macOS 15.5 Sequoia, on a 16-inch, 2021 MacBook Pro

In Xcode 26 ß (iOS 26 simulator) UIBarButtonItem content disappear when tapped
Just testing an existing app with Xcode 26. I notice that content of UIBarButtonItem (either text or image) disappears when tapped (and reappear on release). Those are custom, bordered buttons. Attribute inspector: Buttons in Xcode: When selected in Xcode, we see a rectangle inside the rounder rect of iOS 26 In simulator: When tapped in simulator: I have edited code from backButton.setTitleTextAttributes([ .font : boldFont, .foregroundColor : UIColor.systemBlue, ], for: .normal) to backButton.setTitleTextAttributes([ .font : boldFont, .foregroundColor : UIColor.systemBlue, ], for: [.normal, .focused, .selected, .highlighted]) to no avail. What am I missing ?

provisining profile
Hi there. I'm super frustrated. My Apple Developer keeps telling me that I have no device to generate a provisioning profile. And it's not clear whether a device is registered. I have a Developed Account as a parent, but the macmini we are working on is registered to my son. Is this a poblem? Super frustrated as we simply want to archive his program to post for review. Can anyone help? We've been at this for days.

Xcode 26: can’t get past the agreement acceptance pop-up
I had this happen last year too. Can’t remember how I solved the issue. I think I just had to wait and the 3rd beta opened properly. I went into terminal and accepted the Xcode agreement there, but still no go. I'm considering reinstalling MacOS because it doesn't seem like others are having this issue. Any ideas? I double click on the Xcode beta, the agreement screen pops up. I click on agree and I either double click my watch button or type in my password and then nothing. The pop-up doesn't disappear and Xcode never opens. I'm on MacOS Sequoia 15.5.

FoundationModelsTripPlanner sample not working?
I installed Xcode 26.0 beta and downloaded the generative models sample from here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels/adding-intelligent-app-features-with-generative-models But when I run it in the iOS 26.0 simulator on my Mac (Sequoia 15.5), I get the error shown here. What's going wrong?

Scope of GPT Training in Xcode 26
Hello, I watched WWDC 25 and saw that GPT will be integrated into Xcode. This raised a question for me. As far as I know, GPT models learn from user interactions. However, the GPT terms of use mention that business accounts are excluded from training. Does this also apply to the GPT integrated into Xcode 26? I couldn’t find any information about this in the Xcode 26 beta release notes or the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. If anyone knows where this is documented, I’d really appreciate it if you could share it. Also, if any Apple staff is reading this, I’d be grateful if you could clarify whether the same non-training policy applies within Xcode. Thank you!

Xcode 26: Unable to get past "Automatic signing failed"
Xcode failed to provision this target. Please file a bug report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator. Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.OctaneBuddy.ios" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.foundation-models entitlement. Getting pretty upset at not being able to deploy and test on my phone :/ Works just fine with another project/app though.

❗️Xcode-beta: “missing required module ‘SwiftShims’” and C99 PCH conflict
Hi all, I’m running into a persistent build issue with my Swift project ORSOFINAL after migrating from Xcode stable to Xcode-beta.app 26 (June 2025 version). ⸻ 💥 Errors displayed: 1. C99 was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled 2. module file .../ModuleCache.noindex/SwiftShims-AXUM98L131W4...pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation 3. missing required module 'SwiftShims' ⸻ 🛠 What I’ve already tried: • xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer • Deleted ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, Archives, and Products • Ran sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch • Clean Build Folder in Xcode-beta • Verified Command Line Tools setting points to Xcode-beta ⸻ ❓Looking for guidance on: • Whether this is a known bug in Xcode-beta • If SwiftShims/PCM conflicts are expected between versions • Best practices to safely migrate from Xcode stable to beta for Swift-based projects Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Mathéo

iOS 26 Simulator - Extreme Memory Usage on M1 Pro
Hi everyone, Is anyone else seeing massive memory usage with the iOS 26 simulator? On my M1 Pro MacBook Pro (16GB RAM) running macOS 26, the simulator consumes all available memory, making my Mac extremely slow. This seems to be a memory leak. For comparison, the iOS 18.5 simulator runs perfectly fine and uses very little RAM. I've already tried restarting, but the issue persists. Has anyone found a workaround for this? Thanks.

New iOS 26 Beta Xcode Support for Older Version of Xcode
I have an older Macbook, and it only supports Xcode 15.2, and I want to be able to work with my iPhone SE 3rd gen, which currently has the iOS 26 beta on it. Is there a place I can find the download for that, and can I even run it on that version of Xcode? If not, can I download a newer version of Xcode on MacOS Ventura?

Will Xcode be able to edit code directly?
I realized you needed to install OS Tahoe to get the models in Xcode and its working now, but the chat doesn't edit the code directly like Cursor. Is Xcode going to update to edit code directly? Would love to know. Thanks to anyone that answers.
