Hello, Is anyone experiencing devices on OS 17 disconnecting from Xcode 15 and 16 Beta? I remember there were a lot of past conversations around the time when iOS 17 released but it seems to still be happening even after using Xcode 16 beta. Re-pairing devices and rebooting the hosts appear to fix it temporarily. I discovered that killing the remoted process also allows xcode to reconnect to the devices. Using Xcode 16's devicectl also doesn't work. I have my devices connected to a USB Hub and to multiple devices. The odd thing is I have iOS 16 devices connected and those don't disconnect. I believe iOS 17 introduced a new coredevice stack to connect but has anyone found a fix for it or have any recommendations? TN3158 isn't relevant in my situation because VPN and Packet filtering is not in use and I filed feedback with Apple but they have't responded in a long time.

I'm trying to update the icon of my app for watchOS 26, and I'm having troubles providing both a layered Liquid Glass icon for watchOS 26 users and a pre-rendered bitmap icon (in various sizes) for watchOS 11 and older users. Whatever I do; I either get a blurry, scaled-down watchOS 26 icon on watchOS 11; or watchOS 11's bitmap icons on watchOS 26. While I could get the wanted result on macOS 26 and iOS 26, I simply can't get an equivalent result with watchOS 26.

Hi! I´m new developing in this app, I have a problem. The preview screen is showing me the image bellow, There is no other response, I dont know what could happened. Thanks!

I am at a loss as to why, since the latest update, that my preview pane is no longer working. May i have some assistance on the matter? Thank you in advance! 😀✌️

I have spent nearly an hour trying to get my iPhone 7 with iOS 15.8 to be recognized within xCode 26. I did not have this issue with the previous version of xCode. I have tried rebooting my Mac, rebooting my iPhone 7, removing the iPhone 7 from the list of devices that belong to my account, verified that I have support files for iOS 15.8 installed, signing out of my Apple account and signing back in....nothing works. Every time I go to "Windows > Devices" I see the iPhone 7, but I get a never-ending spinning circle next to the iPhone 7 (which is shown as connected) along with a banner that says "xCode will continue when Joe's iPhone 7 is finished." I can leave the phone connected to my Mac for an hour, and this message and the spinning circle next to the iPhone 7 never changes.

Problem: iOS 16.4 runtime targets are not available for selection, however the 16.4 simulator shows as installed under "Manage run destinations" Config: Xcode 15.0, Sonoma 14.0, M1 Mac-Mini Background: I write and maintain apps for my business unit. A co-worker dropped a phone on my desk and said 'The app doesn't work anymore, can you fix it'. Well, it turns out the phone is running iOS 16.6. The OS had been upgraded. This sent me down the path of upgrading Xcode on a development Mac, which also forced a MacOs upgrade on me. The end result is I now have XCode 15 on Sonoma, but have an iOS 16.6 device that I'm trying to target. Since I don't have any iOS 17 devices I didn't install the 17.0 runtime. To install the "16.6 runtime" I went to: "Xcode - Settings - Platforms" and hit the + in the lower left and under "Previously released simulators" I selected iOS. I selected iOS 16.4 as it was the closest I could see to 16.6 so I'm assuming it still works with 16.6. It took a few attempts to download correctly, but it now shows up in my platforms as "iOS 16.4 Simulator 6.18 GB on disk". If I select "Product - Destination - Manage Run Destinations" I can see simulators for 10 different iOS devices (from iPad 10th gen to iPhone SE) all running iOS 16.4. Great! I must be ready to develop and test for 16.6. Right? Nope. In the dropdown beside my App name the only option that is shown to me is "iOS 17" and the "Get" button beside it. I was expecting to my iOS 16.4 simulators as available target destinations, but there's nothing other than "iOS 17 - Get". This is an old App that I'm maintaining so its deployment target is not new. Selecting a different iOS Deployment target doesn't have an effect. I tried going into Manage Run Destinations and selected my iPhone 14 simulator on iOS 16.4 as "show run destination always". - no change Older iOS version do not show as destinations. Anyone else encounter this? Did you figure it out? Help? Thx

I just created a new project in the newest version of Xcode as a sample project for a feedback. Bug 1 So simply what I do in every new project is create a "Supporting Files" group (not a folder because I don't want to move these files on the file system). I put the following files in this group: .entitlements file -the Info.plist (which apparently new projects don't create anymore because I don't see one). main.m Assets.xcassets In previous version of Xcode this was done with the "New Group without Folder" action (though back in the day I believe you'd get yellow folders in "New Group" and blue folder with 'New Folder" and they were separate actions.... which was actually better and much less insane IMO but that's not really important to this). In any case, "New Group without Folder" is nowhere to be found in the context menu. I finally was able to get "New Group" to appear as long as I wasn't right clicking underneath any directory. But.... New Group actually creates a New Folder, just like New Folder. So I put the .entitlements in the Supporting Files group (which is not a group, but a directory) and the app won't compile unless I fix the path in project settings because I moved the file which is most definitely not what I wanted. So we can no longer group files in the project navigator without moving them to new directories? Is this intentional behavior? It can't be, right? Bug 2 I noticed dragging and dropping to reorder files in the project navigator no longer seems to work? In previous versions of Xcode I could drag and drop to reorder files (in groups and in folders, this would work). This appears to no longer work. I just have to accept the way Xcode orders my project files?

Like so many, i am getting The operation couldn’t be completed. (ModelCatalog.CatalogErrors.AssetErrors error 1.)

dSYM size became thrice for builds generated via xcode 26 compared to xcode 16. These are all release builds.

I downloaded the Xcode Beta 3 on my MacBook Pro M4 Base today and tested out some iOS26 mechanics of my app. And when I came back to my main Xcode to continue developing in iOS18, I couldn't build my app. I went to Product > Destination > Manage run destinations and then tried to create a simulator with iOS18 but it didn't show up, only choice that's showing up was iOS26. I tried deleting iOS18 platform and downloading it again but it didn't solve, I tried deleting Xcode Beta but it didn't solve the problem either. I deleted Runtimes folder, it didn't solve too. I can not create a simulator of iOS18 or below too, the error says "The iOS 18.5 simulator runtime is not available. Try reinstalling Xcode or the simulator runtime." How can I fix this problem?

When I update the macOS from 15.5 to 15.6, Preview error. 1、I try remove simulator cache， sdk 2、remove Xcode build cache 3、reinstall Xcode 4、try with this method https://byby.dev/uninstall-xcode#:%7E:text=Delete%20old%20simulators%20and%20devices,moving%20them%20to%20the%20Trash but all failed swiftui log.txt

I'm working on a macOS app that I want to give "Full Disk Access". When I run from Xcode, I get "permission denied" errors when reading a file in my home directory. What can I do so that I can run and debug from Xcode? I dragged the binary from the derived data folder to the System Preferences list for Full Disk Access, but that seems to do nothing.

Hi Apple Developer Community. I have a problem with opening my Xcode File in Xcode 16. It says, that a specific File is missing and I don't know how to resolve this. Can someone help me? Thanks for the help :)

Hi all, reposting this from here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/789849/xattr-c-not-removing-com-apple-finderinfo-attribute I came to this problem because my Xcode project was failing to build due to the error "resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed" (was trying the solutions on this post). Basically, running xattr -cr . in the terminal on my project directory removes all extended attributes except com.apple.FinderInfo, which stays on all .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace files. I've tried everything under the sun, from sudo to xattr -d to dot_clean to tar to rsync and nothing works. Is this just an immortal attribute that can never be removed? I'm truly at a loss here, this is for my senior thesis project.

Anyone else notice that Xcode 16.1 seems to have stopped building universal binaries for both debug and release builds even though under "Build Settings-Build Active Architecture" both Debug and Release are set to NO. We had been using the universal binary builds out of Debug for preliminary tests on Intel based machines. The Architectures setting is set to: Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel) - $(ARCHS_STANDARD). I started a brand new empty app and it does the same thing. A workaround is to set the Destination in Xcode's menu bar to "Build on Any Mac" and then find the binary and drag it to the Intel computer. You can't run that one though from Xcode. Another workaround is to build an Archive and drag that one.

This is the Icon Composer from Xcode 26.0 Beta 1 (not the really old one Xcode6? 😆 that I find when I search here) Is there a way to show the really cool 3D that they showed off during demos? Maybe all we get is which level is on top. Upon export it only seems to be able to do 2x? - is there some way to get it to take 1x? Every time I change it - it jumps back to 2x and iOS wants 1x... maybe a feedback. Also Xcode seems to want 3 icons - but there are 6 iOS ones exported. How do I get the other 3 in there? It does seem pretty easy to import PNG's from Sketch and order them and move pieces around. I guess you can save individual lighting for each icon mode.

Hi everyone, I recently updated to Xcode 26.0 and noticed that the “Extract Subview” refactoring option seems to be missing. Now, in Xcode 26, the only options I see under Editor -> Refactor -> are: Extract to Selection File Extract to Method Extract to Variable Extract All Occurrences But there’s no Extract Subview as there was before. Was Extract Subview intentionally removed in Xcode 26? Or is it hidden behind a new menu location or renamed?

It didn't happen with Xcode 16.2 that I used before, but after updating to 16.3, when I build the app, the following error is output to the console and the app doesn't run. dyld[2150]: Symbol not found: ___cxa_current_primary_exception Referenced from: <6B00A4F2-B208-3FDB-BA38-B7095AF0034A> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/B590DB18-9C66-4C9E-8330-104943419E60/Mubeat DEV.app/Mubeat DEV.debug.dylib Expected in: <7F51CB08-A0CA-386E-BB62-4B8BFB0CED9F> /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib Symbol not found: ___cxa_current_primary_exception Referenced from: <6B00A4F2-B208-3FDB-BA38-B7095AF0034A> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/B590DB18-9C66-4C9E-8330-104943419E60/Mubeat DEV.app/Mubeat DEV.debug.dylib Expected in: <7F51CB08-A0CA-386E-BB62-4B8BFB0CED9F> /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib dyld config: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/system/introspection DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libBacktraceRecording.dylib:/usr/lib/libMainThreadChecker.dylib:/usr/lib/libRPAC.dylib:/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDDISupport.framework/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib After looking for another solution, I found a way to remove the -Objc option in Other Linker Flags, but this method only works on iOS 18.4 and doesn't work on other versions. Is there another solution?

Every time my app runs in the simulator I see this error: Warning: Error creating LLDB target at path '/Users/aaronsmith/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Babylist-ahvzjxxrpawwqhecszqeyvjstfca/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Babylist.app'- using an empty LLDB target which can cause slow memory reads from remote devices: the specified architecture 'arm64--' is not compatible with 'x86_64-apple-ios13.2.0-simulator' in '/Users/aaronsmith/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Babylist-ahvzjxxrpawwqhecszqeyvjstfca/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Babylist.app/Babylist' What is this? I'm on an M1, no build issues. It makes me think the simulator is running under rosetta with x68_64. But I didn't choose to do that. Mac OS Ventura. Xcode 14 RC.

I'm trying to bring up an existing macOS app workspace to build against the macOS 26 SDK, however Xcode 26b1 is producing the following error, and I'm unable to proceed: /Users/tonyarnold/Documents/Reveal/<unknown>:1:1: error reading '/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/17/include/module.modulemap': No such file or directory /Users/tonyarnold/Documents/Reveal/<unknown>:1:1: failed to emit precompiled module '/Users/tonyarnold/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/_Builtin_stdbool-LVR359SH1U4537HG9T3JOGN.pcm' for module map '/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/17/include/module.modulemap' I've checked and the module map that it claims is missing is there on the filesystem. Is this a known issue with this beta?
