Developer Mode option is not visible in Privacy & Security section. Always invisible in Privacy & Security section after iOS 18.6 upgrade. I have done the reset iPhone and clear data many times but same issue i am getting in iOS device. Note* - When we plug the iPhone in Mac system using wire i did receive the message like - 'Trust the system'. How to show the developer mode option in iOS device? Kindly suggest.

If I use the new beta Icon Composer to make a .icon file for a macOS app, will it work for any macOS versions before 26? If not, can one build with both the .icon and the older asset collection icon?

This app icon features multiple layers with the blend mode set to Screen. iOS fails to render these despite looking perfectly fine in Icon Composer. This is unacceptable. How can a designer build an icon if they can't rely on it being displayed like the preview on a device? Filed as FB20052048 with the .icon file attached.

Creating a testapp with expo and then trying to open in XCode just hangs. npx create-expo-app TestApp cd TestApp npx expo prebuild cd ios open TestApp.xcworkspace This used to work, but I think stopped after something got upgraded to latest, because I tried uninstalling and reinstalling latest XCode, exp, pod and result is still the same. Please Help!

I selected "Show All Run Destinations", but it didn't work. Then I went to "Settings" -> "Components" in Xcode. and checked the "Simulator Architecture Variant" option, it was "Apple Silicon"，I even tried deleting and re-downloading iOS 26, but the issue persisted.How can I install the iOS 26 Rosetta simulator?

I pasted what ends up being too much log into the coding assistant and now every time I open up xcode and go to the AI coding panel it just runs until there's no system ram left. Is there a way to clear the cache and get rid of all of the data in the coding assistance so I can open the project again and use the coding assistant. Thanks, Rob

I am currently developing iOS applications as part of my company's operations. Due to company policy, the Mac used for app development is subject to monitoring through TLS inspection. Since implementing TLS inspection, I've encountered an issue where the iPhone connected to the Mac does not appear in Xcode, and as a result, I'm unable to install the development app on the iPhone. After some investigation, I found that iPhones with pre-downloaded "device support files" are displayed in Xcode, while those without are not. This leads me to suspect that the TLS inspection is causing the failure in downloading the "device support files". To resolve this, I would like to exclude the domain accessed during the "device support files" download from TLS inspection. Could anyone provide information on the domain Xcode accesses to download these files? Alternatively, if you know of another method to resolve this issue, please share your solution. Environment: macOS Sequoia 15.5 Xcode 16.1

I have been using tvOS 18 and Xcode 26 all summer without issue but since updating the tv to the latest tvOS 26 beta I am now unable to attach to debug builds. When using the Run button in Xcode the build completes, the tv screen goes black and then I see a warning in Xcode: Launching "App Name" is taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue to wait? LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols. If I continue to wait after around 5 mins, in the Xcode console, I see: warning: libobjc.A.dylib is being read from process memory. This indicates that LLDB could not find the on-disk shared cache for this device. This will likely reduce debugging performance. But the process on the tv hangs indefinately. Hitting stop in Xcode disconnects the debugger but the app then finishes launching successfully on the TV. Trying to use "Debug > Attach to process > [App Name]" once it is running also just hangs the app and waits until stopped. When stopping the hung debugger I see an Xcode error with the following: Could not attach to pid : “1222” Domain: IDEDebugSessionErrorDomain Code: 3 Failure Reason: internal error User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-09-01 09:51:54 +0000"; DVTRadarComponentKey = 855031; IDERunOperationFailingWorker = DBGLLDBLauncher; RawUnderlyingErrorMessage = "Xcode has killed the LLDB RPC server to allow the debugger to detach from your process.

My version is iOS 18.6.2 (22G100), watchOS 10.6.1 (21U580), macOS 15.3.1 (24D70), Xcode Version 16.4 (16F6). My iPhone can connect to Xcode and complete app installation testing. I have connected the iPhone to Xcode via USB, and both the iPhone and Apple Watch have been set to trust this device. The iPhone has Developer Mode enabled, but I cannot find Developer Mode in the Privacy & Security settings on the Apple Watch. As shown in the image, the Devices section in Xcode's Developer Documentation displays my iPhone but not the Apple Watch. However, the Open Console for the displayed iPhone shows my Apple Watch—actually two of them, though I only have one Apple Watch (the other might be from a previous backup). The iPhone app installs and tests normally, but the Apple Watch app cannot select a target device and fails to start installation. How can I resolve this issue?

Hi! I must be missing something. I am creating a MacOS dynamic library using Xcode. I have created the library as follows: File->New Project then choose macOS 'Library' in Frameworks and Libraries. I give the Product Name "TestLib". Framework: STL (C++ Library) Type: Dynamic This creates a default library project, with one exported class 'TestLib'. There's a method "HelloWorld". And this suffices for my issue. To be able to test my dynamic library, I want to use an XCtest target. So in the project settings, I select '+', and add a 'Unit Testing Bundle': Product name: TestLibTests Language: Swift Testing System: XCTest Project: TestLib Target to be tested: TestLib I press finish, and my test target is created. Now, I think I need to have a module map. So I Add New File From Template', and choose 'Module Map'. A 'module.modulemap' is created. In the module map file, I name the module 'TestLib', and header 'TestLib.h'. So far, everything makes sense, and no errors. But here it comes... When I want to make a testcase, I need to import the module. I first built the dylib library, to make sure it's built without errors and exists. Then I switch to the TestLibTests target and want to write my first test. Simply creating an object from the TestLib class. For that, I have to import the module, so I write 'import TestLib' after the 'import XCTest' at the top. And here is where I'm stuck. No matter what I do, Xcode just gives me the error 'No such module TestLib'. This should just work, right? I should be able to unit test my library. I have spent 2 days reading the internet and trying many suggestions, but I just can't get it to work. I am currently working with Xcode 26 beta. But I tried with Xcode 16.4 and that has the same issue. What am I missing?

I'm trying to sign-in with a Sandbox account with my iOS simulator. Using Xcode 26 beta 7. After I sign in, the button goes inactive for a few seconds but then nothing happens. It does not actually sign me in.

The window to show 'Simulators and Devices' does not show all relevant information about Simulator Devices. On top of the right window-pane the information about OS Version, name, etc is some kind cut off…strangely blurred > effect not readable/visible. Also the toggle is not clearly visible (but with good guess it is selectable). Appearance mode (light or dark) has no influence. Reduce Transparency or increase contrast also no effect. Got this issue since Xcode 26.0 (24198.5) (Build 17A5295f), and now in latest B7 still got this issue. Running macOS Tahoe 26.0 Beta (25A5349a) Does anybody else experience the same issue? Any workaround or fix known? Already filed Feedback: FB19671411

We are experiencing troubles in our organization when we want to debug iOS applications on physical iPhones and iPads. Our iPhones (iPhone 16e, iOS 18.5) are not recognized by Xcode 16.4, but in the Finder they show up fine using the USB cable. We are aware, that the communication is different and there is an ad-hoc network that gets created to exchange the device profile. Together with our IT department responsible for our security infrastructure we narrowed it down to the following reason: As we are blocking all IPv6 traffic for local networking, the iPhone cannot communicate with Xcode to make the first connection and load the device profile. As they are not planning on changing this behavior, I am reaching out to you, if there is a way to force this first handshake between Xcode and iOS device to use IPv4? Or is there any other way to enable debugging for these devices? Any ideas would be very helpful.

Hi, I'm migrating my project from the old .strings files to String Catalogs (.xcstrings files). Everything is migrating over fine except for my custom intents. Right now the localization files for my custom intents all live "under" the definition file like so: But there is no option to migrate to a string catalog. I even tried removing the localization files, and re-adding them using the "Localize..." button, but that just creates the old .strings files, not the new string catalog. Is this not supported yet for intents definitions? I can't find any documentation about this. It would be a real shame to have part of my app on string catalogs and this one piece on the old Localizable.strings format.
