I have an app on the App Store for many years enabling users to post text into clouds in augmented reality. Yet last week abruptly upon installing the app on the iPhone the screen started going totally dark and a list of little comprehensible logs came up of the kind: ARSCNCompositor <0x300ad0e00>: ARSCNCompositor (0, 0) initialization failed. Matting is not set up properly. many times, then RWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to update pose [PredictorFailure] for timestamp 870.392108 ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to predict pose [1] for timestamp 870.392108 again several times and then: ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: SLAM error callback: Error Domain=Slam Error Code=7 "Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data" UserInfo={NSDescription=Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data, NSLocalizedFailureReason=SlamEngineNodeGroup Failure: IMU issue: gyro data stream verification failed [Significant data drop]. Failed on timestamp: 870.413247, Last known timestamp: 865.350198, Delta: 5.063049, System timestamp: 870.415781, Delta between system and frame: 0.002534. } and then again the pose issues several times. I hoped the new beta version would have solved the issue, but it was not the case. Unfortunately I do not know if that depends on the beta version or some other issue, given the app may be not installed on the Mac simulator.

I am experiencing an issue where XCode reverts .xccurrentversion file in my iOS app to the first version whenever xcodebuild is run or whenever XCode is started. This means I can build the app and run tests in XCode if I discard the reversion .xccurrentversion on XCode start. However, testing on CI is impossible because the version the tests rely on are reverted whenever xcodebuild is run. The commands I run to reproduce the issue ❯ git status Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Path/.xccurrentversion no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") ❯ git checkout "Path/.xccurrentversion" Updated 1 path from the index ❯ git status nothing to commit, working tree clean ❯ xcodebuild \ -scheme Scheme \ -configuration Configuration \ -sdk iphonesimulator \ -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16 Pro,OS=latest' \ -skipPackagePluginValidation \ -skipMacroValidation \ test > /dev/null # test fails because model version is reverted ❯ git status HEAD detached at pull/249/merge Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Path/.xccurrentversion no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") I have experienced such issue in 16.3 (16E140) and 16.2 (16C5032a). Similar issues/solutions I have found online are the following. But they are either not relevant or do not work in my case. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17631587/xcode-modifies-current-coredata-model-version-at-every-launch https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/issues/81 Is anyone aware of any solution? Is there a recommended way I can run diagnostics on XCode and file a feedback?

Hello. In the Xcode 15 we were using this command in the terminal to run our tests on the Rosetta Simulator: xcodebuild -workspace CoreLibraries.xcworkspace -scheme CoreLibraries -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15,arch=x86_64' test` In the Xcode 16 the same command doesn't work anymore. It produces the error: xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier: { platform:iOS Simulator, arch:x86_64, OS:latest, name:iPhone 16 } Unsupported device specifier option. The device “iPhone 16” does not support the following options: arch Please supply only supported device specifier options. Running test directly from the Xcode UI using iPhone 16 (Rosetta) still works fine. Does anyone know how to modify the xcodebuild command to make it work again?

I am facing a recurring issue with Xcode iOS simulator. I want to preview a SwiftUI for iOS in Xcode, but the Simulator app fails to boot up. I receive the follow error in Xcode: Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update. I have tried the following: Deleting Xcode cache Reinstalling iOS Simulator runtimes Completely uninstalling Xcode and deleting all developer data, then reinstalling None of the above steps fix the problem. The only fix I have found is to completely reinstall MacOS 15.4.1. THIS IS TERRIBLE! I have already reinstalled MacOS 15.4.1 once to fix the issue, and I don't want to do it again. If there is another solution, please help me find it! Thank you!!

I've updated my computer to Sequoia 15, Xcode 16 and now no matter what I do, I am unable to work with Swift UI previews. I get this error each time I try to run the preview: Failed to launch app in reasonable time I have done: Uninstall/Re-install Xcode Deleted derived data Deleted the simulator data Used DevCleaner to remove all data related to Xcode Searched all websites about this issue. ( Non shown a good solution ) Write this question on here. If anyone has found a solution, please let me know how you fixed it.

All is fine in Xcode15, no LLDB errors whatsoever, but in Xcode16 I can't get any variable displayed in the console because of the following error: error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$......." was not found (cached) error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. I've checked the output of swift-healthcheck and there are several messages like this: SwiftASTContextForExpressions(module: "ROA", cu: "ROA+ViewLayer.swift")::LoadOneModule() -- Missing Swift module or Clang module found for "UIKit", "imported" via SwiftDWARFImporterDelegate. Hint: Register Swift modules with the linker using -add_ast_path. I added -add_ast_path to the OTHER_LDFLAGS in the faulty module's build settings but no luck. How can I debug my project in Xcode16?

Xcode 16.3 build on ios18.4 ,app can't launch. Then lost connection to the debugger . but Xcode16.3 with ios18.3 can launch

I am getting following error from one of the pod frameworks while running the app (Build is a success). dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN5swift34swift50override_conformsToProtocolEPKNS_14TargetMetadataINS_9InProcessEEEPKNS_24TargetProtocolDescriptorIS1_EEPFPKNS_18TargetWitnessTableIS1_EES4_S8_E.

Xcode 16 unindents lines if I choose a code-completion and I cannot find a way to stop this - does anybody know how to stop it? Here's a link to a gif demonstrating this problem - it's incredibly frustrating. https://i.imgur.com/jaDpzpb.gif Thanks in advance

Hello. I'm seeing an inconsistent behavior where breakpoints I set in my (Swift) iOS app behave normally when I'm debugging on a device or on a simulator running iOS 17.x, but when I try using simulators of iOS 16 or 15 the breakpoints get ignored completely. I also observe that the breakpoints remain solid blue and do NOT adopt the dotted blue outline, as experienced by other users. I've seen a few posts on here and on SO about the general issue of ignored breakpoints (with no conclusive answer AFAIK), but I haven't seen any where the behavior varies with the SDK being used. The behavior is repeatable and predictable (within the same app at least). I am not adding the breakpoints after building/running, and I'm sure the logic reaches the lines with the breakpoints (and again, whenever I switch to an iOS 17 simulator, execution does pause as expected with the exact same breakpoints). Things I've tried and looked into: Clean up project build folder Delete and re-install simulators (iOS 16.4 and 15.5) Deleted the entire derived data directory, as well as the CoreSimulator one. Confirm the build configuration is Debug, and the "Debug executable" option is checked. inspect various build flags mentioned in other posts: {Swift compiler - Code generation - Optimization level - Debug: -0none; Debug information format: DWARF (I also tried DWARF with dSYM with no impact)}. Most of my settings are on the plain vanilla/out of the box side, with only a couple of SPM dependencies, and I've been maintaining the same app for about 5 years and don't think I've come across this behavior before. Currently using Xcode 15.1. Deployment target is 14.0. Thank you.

I have a problem with my xcode. I try to install apps xcodes to manage multiple xcode. My xcode version on 15.2(i try to run on iOS 15 SE1 it's no problem) and after that i try to install xcode 16 beta 3 i try to run iOS 15 SE1 the simulator blank. After that, i delete xcode 16 beta 3 and use xcode 15.2 i try to run on Simulator SE1 iOS 15 the simulator can't response touch. I try to trigger with Device menu on simulator Home, lock, trigger screenshot, etc. The simulator not response touch. How to solve this problem ? how to remove all simulator if uninstall xcodes.

We are trying to track down some build failures that started happening only in our Jenkins CI environment. error: Failed to decode version info for '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/actool': The data couldn’t be read because it is missing.

When Xcode 26 Beta 5 compiles my XIBs into NIBs, it spits out a dependency on a class that isn't available pre-macOS 26, named _TtCC6AppKit14NSScrollPocketP33_EC3F85FAB7755D56E669206D2B17725B12BackdropView. All XIBs have a deployment target of macOS 12, so in theory this should be avoided. Even if this is a new (internal) class to macOS 26, the dependency is a problem when the developer is asking to deploy to prior versions. Has anyone else run into this regression? What could possibly be causing the XIB compiler to inject this dependency? The resulting NIBs don't load on anything prior to macOS 26.

Around a month back, developers of the OpenJDK project, when using XCode 16 to build the JDK started noticing odd failures when executing code which was compiled using the clang++ compiler shipped in that XCode 16 release (details in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8340341). Specifically, a trivial for loop in a c++ code of the form: int limit = ... // method local variable for (i=0; i<limit; i++) { ... } ends up iterating more times than the specified limit. The "i<limit" returns true even when it should have returned false. In fact, debug log messages within the for loop of the form: fprintf(stderr, "parsing %d of %d, %d < % d == %s", i, limit, i, limit, (i<limit) ? "true" : "false"); would show output of the form: parsing 0 of 2, 0 < 2 == true parsing 1 of 2, 1 < 2 == true parsing 2 of 2, 2 < 2 == true Notice, how it entered the for loop even when 2 < 2 should have prevented it from entering it. Furthermore, notice the message says 2 < 2 == true (which clearly isn't right). This happens when that code is compiled with optimization level -O2 or -O3. The issue doesn't happen with -O1. I had reported this as an issue to Apple through feedback assistance, more than a month back. The feedback id is FB15162411. There hasn't been any response to it nor any indication that the issue has been noticed and can be reproduced (the steps to reproduce have been provided in that issue). In the meantime, more and more users are now running into this failure in JDK when using XCode 16. We haven't put any workaround in place (the only workaround we know of is using -O1 for the compilation of this file) because it isn't clear what exactly is causing this issue (other than the fact that it shows up with specific optimization levels). It's also unknown if this bug has wider impact. Would it be possible to check if FB15162411 is being looked into and any technical details on what's causing this? That would help us decide if it's OK to put in place a temporary workaround in the OpenJDK build and how long to maintain that workaround. For reference, this was reproduced on: clang++ --version Apple clang version 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.3) Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.6.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /xcode-16/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

I have os_log statements in my app. With my phone connected to the Mac, when I run the app through XCode, open Console app, those logs are shown. However, when I'm launching the app on its own, those logs don't appear in Console (phone still connected). Am I missing something very basic? Please help.

Got emailed three .txt crash files. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Xcode to do something with them. Tried: renaming .txt to .crash Dropping onto "devices and simulators" window Dropping on to "devices and simulators > select device > View device logs" "Download debug symbols" for the archive in Xcode (says "dowloaded debug symbols" so did it) ... and many other things Xcode 13 simply refuses to respond to the drag-and-drop of the file no matter the file extension and no matter where in Xcode's various windows/tools I drop it. Has anyone done this with a crash .txt file from app review and Xcode 13?

Today's Xcode release won't download the visionOS SDK, gives a 'network error'.

When I attempt to preview my code, I encounter an error message stating, “Cannot preview in this file: Failed to launch (App Name).” This issue is specific to this particular app. I attempted creating a new project, and that works fine. This is what it says in the diagnostics: | [Remote] JITError | | ================================== | | | [Remote] LLVMError | | | | LLVMError: LLVMError(description: "The file was not recognized as a valid object file")
