Xcode crash reports from TestFlight
My application is in flightTest mode. I received my first two crash reports in XCODE /Organizer. The context is well described, and I was able to isolate the locations where very serious errors occurred. My application is connected. I'm missing one piece of data in this crash report: the time of the crash. This will help me see what (in my case) static data was being read on the data server at that time. This will help me investigate. Is it possible to obtain this information?

Breakpoint on Runtime Issue os_log_fault_default_callback
The app stops on the breakpoint when "All Runtime Issues" is added. If I disable the breakpoint, the app runs normally. Is there a new project setting to avoid this breakpoint from being set. It does not appear to be a valid error. I am running Xcode 16.2. I edited the "Type" field in the breakpoint box. This occurs with the "System Frameworks" option only.

Playground with a Logger - Error: Couldn't look up symbols: __dso_handle
Xcode 16.4, MacOS Sequoia 15.5 If I try to use a logger in an Xcode Playground e.g. import os import UIKit var logger = Logger(subsystem: "Loggertest", category: "") logger.info("Hello, world!") I get the following error error: Couldn't look up symbols: ___dso_handle ___dso_handle Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler. Its the logger.info ... that is causing the error. I have raised FB18214090 but there are no other reports. I would be grateful if some of you could verify if the Playground runs or errors on your system. A workaround, still using Logger, would be a great help. Thanks, Chris

openURL:options:completionHandler: Simulator Bug
Xcode 16.2. When calling openURL:options:completionHandler: when in the simulator for a link in the app store (for example: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slidewords/id503737864?mt=8) behavior is fine for simulated iPads, not for simulated iPhones. When the simulated device is an iPad, the call correctly opens the app store link. When the simulated device is an iPhone, an error message "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid." Note: the call works on an an actual iPhone (iPhone SE 3rd generation, unsure about other devices).

How to make RealityKit both parent and child entities accessible to UI tests?
I have a SwiftUI RealityKit app, and I am writing UI tests for it. The app has entities that have children. All entities have an accessibilityComponent so that they can be found by UI tests. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent, the UI tests find the parent. If I set isAccessibilityElement = false for the parent, and isAccessibilityElement = true for the child, the UI tests find the child. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent as well as for the child, the UI tests find only the parent. How can I make parent and child entities both be accessible by the UI tests?

Cannot Find UI to Add Core Data Database Indexes in Xcode 16.2
Hi everyone, I'm trying to add standard, non-unique database indexes to my Core Data entities for performance optimization (e.g., indexing Date or String attributes used in predicates and sort descriptors). I'm using Xcode 16.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.1. My problem is that I cannot find the expected UI element in the Core Data model editor (.xcdatamodeld) to configure these database indexes. What I Understand / Expect: I know the old "Indexed" checkbox on the Attribute Inspector is deprecated/gone. My understanding from recent documentation and tutorials is that database indexing (separate from Spotlight indexing) should be configured in the Entity Inspector (when the Entity itself is selected), within a section titled "Indexes" (usually located below "Constraints"). This "Indexes" section should allow adding individual or compound indexes that translate to SQL CREATE INDEX commands, distinct from uniqueness constraints. What I'm Experiencing: When I select an Entity in the model editor, the "Indexes" section is completely missing from the Data Model Inspector pane on the right. I see sections for Name, Class, Constraints, Spotlight, User Info, Versioning, etc., but no "Indexes" section appears between Constraints and Spotlight (or anywhere else). Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Verified Selection: I have confirmed I am selecting the Entity itself in the left-hand list, not an individual Attribute. Ruled out Spotlight Indexing: I understand the difference between database indexing (for internal query performance) and the "Index in Spotlight" checkbox/Core Spotlight framework (for system search). I specifically need the former. Basic Xcode Troubleshooting: I have tried restarting Xcode, cleaning the build folder (Shift+Command+K), and deleting the project's Derived Data. The "Indexes" section remains missing. Checked File Placement/Target Membership: Confirmed the .xcdatamodeld file is correctly included in the target. Its location in the project navigator doesn't seem relevant. Checked Model Versioning: Ensured the correct model version is set as "Current" in the File Inspector. Ruled out Other Features: Confirmed that Fetch Requests, Fetched Properties, and User Info keys are not the mechanisms for defining database indexes. Confirmed Not Project-Specific: I created a brand new, template-generated iOS App project with "Use Core Data" checked. In this new project, when selecting the default "Item" entity, the "Indexes" section is also missing from the Entity Inspector. This strongly suggests the issue is with my Xcode environment/version itself, not my specific project's setup. Considered Programmatic/Manual: I understand Core Data expects schema definitions (including indexes) declaratively in the model file. While manual XML editing of the contents file works (adding ... within the tag), this is not the desired or intended workflow via the standard tools. My Questions: What is the correct, current procedure for defining non-unique Core Data database indexes using the Xcode UI in Xcode 16.2? Has the location or method for configuring database indexes changed in this version of Xcode? If so, where is it now? Is the absence of the "Indexes" section in the Entity Inspector a known issue or intentional change for this Xcode version? If the standard UI method is unavailable, what is the officially recommended approach (other than manual XML editing)? I've reviewed the documentation ("Configuring Entities", "Configuring Attributes") and while screenshots show the inspectors, they don't definitively show the "Indexes" section within the Entity Inspector, sometimes focusing on attributes or potentially being cropped. Any clarification or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

NSE Filtering Entitlement Rejected Repeatedly – Seeking Advice & Possible Solutions
Hi everyone, I’m facing a major roadblock with my family location tracking app, and I need some advice or guidance from the community. Background Back in 2021, I implemented NSE filtering entitlement to send location-based notifications and retrieve the device's location in return (as suggested by Apple’s technical code support). Over time, I built my app around this entitlement, adding many features that depend on it. When Location Push Service Extension was introduced for iOS 15+, I adapted accordingly: NSE filtering was used for devices below iOS 15 Location Push Service Extension was used for iOS 15+ NSE filtering also played a crucial role in: ✅ Accepting/rejecting location-based notifications ✅ Checking device settings & location permissions (since location push won’t work without proper permissions) The Issue In November 2024, I created a new developer account to change my business entity. Since then, I’ve been requesting the NSE entitlement repeatedly for four months, but Apple keeps rejecting it. Meanwhile, they approved the Location Push Entitlement, but without NSE filtering, I’m forced to rewrite a huge part of my app’s core functionality. I’ve sent multiple emails explaining my use case, but I keep getting rejected without any clear explanation or workaround. My Ask Has anyone faced a similar issue with NSE entitlement? Are there any alternative approaches to achieve the same functionality? Any advice on how to escalate this to Apple or get proper feedback on why it's being rejected? I’ve invested years into this app, and a forced rewrite would take months. Any help, insights, or contacts who could assist would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 🙏

XCode 16.2 forgets my git credentials constantly
Like the title says, I'll commit some changes no problem with my Git name and email displayed properly, then work for a while longer and when use the integrate menu to stage and commit I find the git name/email are empty. My credentials are properly entered in settings. The only fix i've found is quitting and restarting. Any less frustrating option?

launchd_sim and AppleSpell deadlock
I've got a 2019 Intel iMac running Sequoia 15.4.1 and Xcode 16.3. Every time I try to view a storyboard Xcode locks up and beachballs on me. It takes minutes to load the file. When I force-quit Xcode, the report that shows up has this as the reason: Processes reached dispatch thread soft limit (64): launchd_sim [96305] [unique pid 194673], launchd_sim [96260] [unique pid 194628] Deadlock: AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df0c4 DispatchQueue 313 -> AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df0c4 DispatchQueue 313 Deadlock: AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df114 DispatchQueue 86 -> AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df114 DispatchQueue 86 Blocked by Deadlock: 1 task - AppleSpell [1494] I'm wondering, why is AppleSpell trying to spell-check a plist file? Is there any way to tell AppleSpell to ignore a file?

Does Xcode force to download latest iOS simulator after update?
I have Xcode on my mac. I am iOS Dev. I do not know what version of Xcode was before I did next steps, but I could say that I had iOS Simulator 18.3.1. So I update my Xcode to Version 16.3 (16E140). At this version is available iOS Simulator 18.4. But from some time before Xcode separate downloading components and actual Xcode itself. So i make update and do not download latest iOS simulator. What i have: in Xcode -> Settings -> Components under " Other Installed Platforms" i have iOS 18.3.1 and 17.5 in Choose Destination dropdown menu i have nothing. And Xcode say me that i need install iOS Simulator. After some time with ChatGPT I could not do nothing from this. I try go to : Window -> Device and Simulators and here create new simulator with 18.3.1 and make it appear Always. But it didn't help. Solution I did: I download latest version 18.4 because i could not wait because i need fix bug only 1 hour shift and it was this hour so i fast download the simulator. After downloading 18.4 in Choose Destination dropdown it appears all versions of simulaors and 18.3.1 and that i created and 17.5 Question: Does Xcode force to install latest version of iOS simulator? What is the sense of this upgrade that now Xcode is updating faster because it download 8 GB not 16 if eventually I need download 8 GB again ? The new what i could do download Xcode in the evening and Simulator in the morning?

Latest Xcode build giving multiple system level errors
with the latest Xcode version, i am getting all kinds of errors: few main ones: /Users/akashbhatia/MyApp/ios/Pods/Target Support Files/ReactCodegen/ReactCodegen-prefix.pch:2:9 Could not build module 'UIKit' /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator18.4.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CFNetwork.framework/Headers/CFNetwork.h:18:10 Could not build module 'CoreFoundation' /Users/akashbhatia/MyApp/ios/Pods/Headers/Public/RCT-Folly/folly/portability/Config.h:20:10 'folly/folly-config.h' file not found I have reinstalled Xcode, removed derived data, installed pod over and over again, but I have realized from the first error here, that it has more to do with Xcode and React Native now. Any help will be appreciated.

Xcode 16 Automatically Builds & Runs Simulator While Editing Storyboard
I’m experiencing an issue in Xcode 16 where the app randomly builds and runs in the simulator while I’m designing items in the storyboard. Here’s what I’ve tried so far to stop this behavior: Disabled "Show Live Issues" in the General settings Removed all key bindings related to Build & Run in the Key Bindings settings Checked for unintentional shortcut triggers, but nothing seems to be causing it Update XCode from 16.1 to 16.2 Delete Derived Data Despite these actions, Xcode still automatically builds and launches the simulator at unexpected times, disrupting my workflow. Is there any setting or hidden configuration that could be causing this? How can I completely prevent Xcode from running the simulator automatically while editing UI in the storyboard? Would really appreciate any guidance on this!
