I'm trying to develop an app to control HomeKit accessories in a way not available so far in macOS. How can I work around the absence of HomeKit Support for macOS in Xcode 16? Thanks!

Hello - Asking a question that's probably been asked, and maybe a couple more. I bought a membership yesterday and received the email, I'm assuming it's "approved", but when I log in on developer account it says "PENDING". I will be the only user on my account. I already have the app, it's been tested by another party and all I need do is make some minor changes. So that's done, now I need to create a "debug or release testing distribution", but when I do that I get this error in xCode. Is this normal...until my status changes from "PENDING" to (guessing) APPROVED? And one further question. I am the only developer, and this app will only be used by one person as it's specialized for a single purpose. What are the option for that person to install the app? Is there a special section on the app store for such an app? Thanks, Gary

I recently added a new target for Apple Watch, which works fine on the simulator. However, I wasn't able to run it on real Apple watches. First, I don't see it in the list of devices, even after I click "trust" and connect to my Mac over charging cable. Second, I've always used automatic code signing, and everything seems OK here. Third, I also tried distributing it over TestFlight, but that build doesn't appear in the TF. I restarted my phone and relaunched the TF app. So, when I install the app to my iPhone over the cable, the watch app doesn't appear on Apple watches. Then, If I go to watch app and install my app manual (I see it at the bottom with the "install" button), it fails with the error "This app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified.". Also, there's an icon on the Apple watch, but it shows the same error when I click it. I unpaired and paired it again, but it didn't help. Also, I tried another pair of phones, and the same thing happened. I use an AppStore account (not enterprise), and the main app works fine. Is there a way how to fix it?

I’m currently trying to localize one of my Mac apps for Right-to-Left languages. In Xcode, to test this, I set the language to ‘Arabic’ in the scheme, which then displays the language and mirrors the layout accordingly. I have two questions about this: macOS titlebar buttons: In the title bar at the top, shouldn’t the Close and Minimize buttons also be on the right side (mirrored)? How can I test this? Numerals: My UI still displays Latin numerals (123). I know this is correct in some Arabic-speaking regions, but I’d also like to test cases where Arabic-Indic numerals (١٢٣) are used. Is there a way to configure the scheme to test this?

Hi! I'm trying to create a target application that depends on multiple targets that all use the same Swift package that has xcframework binaryTarget. Each component can be successfully assembled individually, but when I try to create a core application that depends on these components, I get an error message on Prepare build stage: Multiple commands produce '/Users/<USER>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<PROJECT_ID>/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/<FW_NAME>.framework/Versions/A' Target '<COMPONENT1>' has copy command from '/Users/<USER>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<PROJECT_ID>/SourcePackages/artifacts/.../<FW_NAME>/<FW_NAME>.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/<FW_NAME>.framework' to '/Users/<USER>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<PROJECT_ID>/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/<FW_NAME>.framework' Target '<COMPONENT2>' has copy command from '/Users/<USER>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<PROJECT_ID>/SourcePackages/artifacts/.../<FW_NAME>/<FW_NAME>.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/<FW_NAME>.framework' to '/Users/<USER>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<PROJECT_ID>/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/<FW_NAME>.framework' – where <FW_NAME> is a name of the xcframework which is the binaryTarget in the Swift package. Could someone please explain to me if it is even possible to use xcframeworks packaged in Swift packages in such cases, and if so, how to do it correctly?

I have setup a sandbox user and I'm unable to reset the purchase history - neither by using the functionality in AppStoreConnect nor in the settings of the AppStore-App on the respective devices. Even logout of the sandbox-user in the AppStoreApp and login again didn't help. How can this be fixed? Thanks for your support.

I’m trying to add my account to Xcode 16.1, which is running on a virtual machine with macOS Sequoia 15.1. I was able to successfully sign in to my account on the virtual machine itself. I’m using a Mac Mini M2, but when I attempt to add my account in Xcode, I encounter the following error: "There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format."

Hi there - I maintain the react-native-apple-authentication module which allows react native developers to implement sign in with Apple When testing we noticed that code working perfectly in iOS17 Simulators now fails on iOS18/18.1 Simulators. Specifically, the credential status is always revoked when testing on an iOS18+ Simulator. The same code works perfectly on a real device running iOS18 or 18.1 so this appears to be a Simulator bug. This is problematic because App review is frequently performed on a Simulator, so there are false-negative test results for Sign In With Apple from reviewers when they use iOS18 emulators, resulting in App submission rejections. We're tracking this here, with some results posted and an example app in-repo that demonstrates the issue: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-apple-authentication/issues/356 It would be great to see the Simulator fixed so that it works correctly with Sign In With Apple again. Thanks

Hi, After updating to Sequoia and the newest Xcode, I ran some Mac apps from Xcode. No code was changed, but suddenly, I'm getting: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases NSBundle file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/ principal class is nil because all fallbacks have failed One problem (I think) is that - Mac/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/MetalTools is an alias with no original that can be found. However, the MetalTools does exist in, for example, /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.1.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks (and Mac ones). The app is very simple/ Any suggestions? I have an Intel Mac. Thank you! -Ashley

Xcode Version: 16 MacOS Version: 15.0 My app has 2 packages: Firebase iOS SDK (https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git) Google Mobile Ads (https://github.com/googleads/swift-package-manager-google-mobile-ads.git) My app fails to run on the Xcode Preview window. The app works successfully on a simulator when built. But, not in the Xcode Preview. I have tried: Cleaning and rebuilding. Changing the target device. Resetting Package Cache There are no solutions mentioned/provided online. I have a previews-diagnostics zip file ready. Who can I share it with?

If I define some values in an .xcconfig then I can use those to supply a value to an element within Info.plist, but if I try to do the same for a .plist with any other name then it doesn't work. Is this some sort of hard-coded constraint? (I can't move the elements out of the custom .plist into Info.plist as its being read by a 3rd party framework)

I'm trying to create the app icon for my visionOS app. The Assets catalog already contains AppIcon for iOS and I've added another AppIcon for visionOS. If I only add the Back layer of the visionOS icon, compiling succeeds despite there being an error The visionOS App Icon "AppIcon" must have at least 2 layers with applicable content. Although it has 3 layers, only 1 has applicable content. As soon as I add one of the other two layers, say the Front layer, compiling fails, but this time Xcode only shows a generic compiler error Command CompileAssetCatalogVariant emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure If I click that message, a long build log opens containing among other things: 2024-10-31 11:28:15.258 AssetCatalogSimulatorAgent[66919:1456355] -[TDTextureRawRenditionSpec _createImageRefWithURL:andDocument:format:] Texture image asset file:///~/Documents/apps/myApp/xcode/iOS/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.solidimagestack/Back.solidimagestacklayer/Content.imageset/icon_layer3.heic not in one of supported formats ... libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException Command CompileAssetCatalogVariant failed with a nonzero exit code What is the problem?

I'm getting consistent errors in Xcode 16.1 while trying to implement type-safe CIFilter instances as documented on the page at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreimage/cifilter. After pasting in the example code on that page for a "FalseColor" filter into a simple test project's ContentView, I get an error explaining that: "Type 'CIFilter' has no member 'falseColor'". Same thing with pasting in the example code at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreimage/cifilter/3228278-boxblur, and other examples. I have imported CoreImage, so that shouldn't be the issue. Am I doing something wrong, or is this functionality just broken? I have had success creating filters with the string-based API, but access to a type-safe API would obviously be preferable, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to run an xctest bundle, built for catalyst, with xcrun. i.e. xcrun xctest path_to_my_test.xctest It fails, complaining that: The bundle "MyBundle" couldn't be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources. Try reinstalling the bundle.....but incompatible platform (have 'MacCatalyst', need 'macOS') So it seems like because I'm not executing it in a sim it wants the bundle to be a macOS bundle. But I would have thought it would be possible to run a Mac Catalyst target directly on a macOS host the same as a native macOS test target. Is this not possible?

we run into this error please help --> Provisioning profile failed qualification Profile doesn't support Tap to Pay on Iphone ---> Provisioning profile failed qualification Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance entitlement

Hi all. I have encountered an issue in which I failed to build the app on Xcode. It says "Provisioning profile doesn't match the entitlements file's values for the com.apple.developer.team-identifier and application-identifier entitlements". But I have checked these two values, they are exactly the same as expected.
