Xcode autosave issue
Lately, I keep getting this warning when closing Xcode asking if I want to save the changes. Strangely enough, I have never received this before. I looked to see if I could disable and enable autosave. Unfortunately I have not found anything. Does anyone have any tips?

Apple Watch can't always reconnect
Using Xcode to build and deploy the app to my watch, this is what I get: “Waiting to reconnect to Apple Watch. Previous preparation error: Transport error." And then “Connecting to Apple Watch. Xcode will continue when the operation completes.” And these messages continue to switch between each other. Sometimes the watch to connect and the application starts, but more often a scenario occurs with endless reconnection. I'm using: MacOS 14.4.1 (MacBook Pro 2019; 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5), Xcode 15.3, Watch OS 10.2 (Apple Watch SE 1), iOS 17.1.1 (iPhone 15 Pro). Methods I tried: Connecting Macbook, iPhone and Watch to the same WIfi network; Disabling Watch (and IPhone) from the "Devices and Simulators" menu and setting up Watch (and IPhone) from the beginning. Any help?

Slow incremental build times with xcodebuild command
When I compile my Xcode project using the xcodebuild command, I observe long incremental build durations. For example, compiling a new, empty project in Xcode only takes around one second. The same project takes 7 seconds to compile using the xcodebuild command. I've noticed that xcodebuild hangs at the "GatherProvisioningInputs" phase. Steps to Reproduce: Create a new Xcode project (iOS app template) Build the project in Xcode with timing summary enabled Build the same project from the command line with the following command: time xcodebuild -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15 Pro,OS=latest' I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to improve the build times when using the xcodebuild command. Thank you in advance for your help!

Xcode 15 and "reexported library couldn't be matched with any parent library" warnings
I updated my project (a Swift-based Screen Saver) from Xcode 14 to 15, and while the project works fine, I'm seeing a bunch of warnings during the link phase like this: ld: warning: reexported library with install name '/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/SpeechSynthesis.framework/Versions/A/SpeechSynthesis' found at '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/SpeechSynthesis.framework/Versions/A/SpeechSynthesis.tbd' couldn't be matched with any parent library and will be linked directly Am I doing something wrong? Can I safely suppress these warnings?

Swift Assist
Hi, I'm testing out Xcode 16 beta and I have a couple of questions: Is Swift Assist only available on Sequoia? I see that predictive code completion is per https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/06/apple-empowers-developers-and-fuels-innovation-with-new-tools-and-resources/, but I tried the beta on Sonoma and I'm not seeing it Regarding Swift Assist - I understand that code is only used to process requests and never stored on servers, and Apple will not use it to train machine learning models. However, my company's security team may still decide that using Swift Assist is too much of a risk. How can we disable it across multiple developer machines? Thank you!

Xcode seems not compatible with the ssh key RSA-SHA2 while trying to git clone from Azure
Since a few days, I'm trying to fetch our private SPM repo hosted on Azure via Xcode but without success. Actually they now accept only ssh key RSA-SHA2-256 or RSA-SHA2-512. So I created a new SSH key, but it seems the problem persists when I try to fetch spm repo or git clone via xcode: "You’re using ssh-rsa that is about to be deprecated and your request has been blocked intentionally. Any SSH session using SSH-RSA is subject to brown out (failure during random time periods). Please use rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512 instead. For more details see aka.ms/ado-ssh-rsa-deprecation. remote: ERROR_SSH_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER (7) (-20)" Even so I'm choosing the good new ssh key, it seems Xcode is sending wrong information about the new generated ssh key. Anyone is experiencing the same here?

Gaps in Xcode build timeline
Reposting (after a while) from the Swift forums - the build timeline for our project has a lot of weird gaps in the beginning - almost 15 seconds in total, which is quite a big chunk of the total build time. Is there any way to determine why they exist or how I could fix them? I hope it's just something hidden and not the build system literally doing nothing... This is on Xcode 15.4.

How to attach to Privileged Helper as root?
We have a Privileged Helper tool that we install with SMJobBless. I would like to debug it. I've added WaitForDebugger in our helper tool launchd plist and it does wait. But I can't attach to it via Debug->Attach to Process in Xcode with error: Code: 3 Failure Reason: tried to attach to process as user 'myusername' and process is running as user 'root' I set Debug process as: root in scheme settings. But I'm not sure if it does anything since I'm not running this particular scheme at the moment of attach. I tried unsuccessfully to set "Wait for the executable to be launched" but I had to create a new scheme for it since helper is built as part of the main app so maybe I did something wrong. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to attach to root process?

Xcode won't symbolicate .ips crash log
I was my understanding that you're supposed to be able to open a .ips crash log in Xcode and see pretty much what you would see if the app had been running in the debugger when it crashed. But the addresses in my app don't get symbolicated. I opened the .ips in the same project and same version of Xcode that was used to create the app. The .dSym file is around, and I can use it to symbolicate using the atos tool. What am I missing?

App Intent snippet view does't able to fetch color for xcassets.
We have an existing app in which we have implemented AppShortcuts. The snippet view works fine in iOS 17 while in iOS18 beta, it doesn't able to fetch color from xcassets. If we use system colours or UIColor it's working fine. Not working Color("progressColor") Working Color(uiColor: UIColor(named: "progressColor")!) Color.red Color(hex: "3881d3") // Note: We created Color extension to generate color from hex string.

Use of SceneDelegate not working
I am trying to configure scenes to capture a redirect URL after a successful login attempt. I am using OAuth code flow. This is the code I have so far: ios_app.swift import SwiftUI @main struct ios_appApp: App { @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared @StateObject private var authState = AuthState() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(\.managedObjectContext, persistenceController.container.viewContext) .environmentObject(authState) } } } AppDelegate.swift import UIKit import AWSMobileClient import GoogleSignIn class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { print("AppDelegate: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions") AWSMobileClient.default().initialize { (userState, error) in if let userState = userState { print("UserState: \(userState)") } else if let error = error { print("Error initializing AWSMobileClient: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.restorePreviousSignIn { user, error in if let error = error { print("Error restoring previous Google Sign-In: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } return true } } SceneDelegate.swift import UIKit import SwiftUI import GoogleSignIn class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { print("SceneDelegate: scene willConnectTo") guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { print("SceneDelegate: Invalid windowScene") return } let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene) let contentView = ContentView().environmentObject(AuthState()) window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: contentView) self.window = window window.makeKeyAndVisible() print("SceneDelegate: window initialized and visible") } func sceneDidDisconnect(_ scene: UIScene) { print("SceneDelegate: sceneDidDisconnect") } func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene) { print("SceneDelegate: sceneDidBecomeActive") } func sceneWillResignActive(_ scene: UIScene) { print("SceneDelegate: sceneWillResignActive") } func sceneWillEnterForeground(_ scene: UIScene) { print("SceneDelegate: sceneWillEnterForeground") } func sceneDidEnterBackground(_ scene: UIScene) { print("SceneDelegate: sceneDidEnterBackground") } func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) { guard let url = URLContexts.first?.url else { print("SceneDelegate: No URL found in URLContexts") return } print("SceneDelegate: openURLContexts with URL: \(url)") if GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.handle(url) { print("SceneDelegate: Google Sign-In handled URL") return } if url.scheme == "myurlscheme" || (url.scheme == "https" && url.host == "mydomain.com" && url.path == "/mobile-auth-callback") { print("SceneDelegate: Handling auth response for URL: \(url)") AuthService.shared.handleOAuthCallback(url: url) } else { print("SceneDelegate: URL scheme not handled: \(url.scheme ?? "No scheme")") } } func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) { print("SceneDelegate: continue userActivity") if userActivity.activityType == NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb { if let url = userActivity.webpageURL { handleUniversalLink(url: url) } } } private func handleUniversalLink(url: URL) { print("SceneDelegate: Handling universal link: \(url)") if url.path.contains("/mobile-auth-callback") { let queryItems = URLComponents(url: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)?.queryItems let code = queryItems?.first(where: { $0.name == "code" })?.value if let code = code { print("SceneDelegate: Received code: \(code)") AuthService.shared.exchangeCodeForToken(code: code) } else { print("SceneDelegate: No code found, handling email/password callback") AuthService.shared.handleEmailPasswordCallback(url: url) } } } } Also introduced this configuration in Info.plist: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>UIApplicationSceneManifest</key> <dict> <key>UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes</key> <true/> <key>UISceneConfigurations</key> <dict> <key>UIWindowSceneSessionRoleApplication</key> <array> <dict> <key>UISceneConfigurationName</key> <string>Default Configuration</string> <key>UISceneDelegateClassName</key> <string>ios-app.SceneDelegate</string> </dict> </array> </dict> </dict> ...Other parameters </dict> </plist> I am using the simulator to launch my app and can see AppDelegate related logs but I am not seeing any SceneDelegate logs (I suppose because it is not being initialized nor called). I have tried restarting the computer/Xcode, clean and rebuild the application but none of the things I tested work. Is there any part of my code wrong? Any other idea here?

Augmented Reality app unable to load the image from the camera
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.

AppIntents don't show up in Shortcuts app when in SPM package
Hi there, I successfully created an AppIntent for our app, and when I had it in the same target as our main app it showed up fine in the shortcuts app. Then I realized that many of the new System Control widgets introduced in iOS 18 (e.g. lockscreen, control center) live in the widget extension target, but they also need to reference that same AppIntent. So to fix this, I thought I'd migrate out the code into it's own SPM package that both the WidgetExtension and the Main App processes can reference. However, after doing that and rebuilding, the intent no longer shows up in the Shortcuts app. Furthermore, my AppShortcutsProvider class now has this error when trying to define the list of appShortcuts: App Intent <name> should be in the same target as AppShortcutsProvider Is this intended, and if so, how do we reference the same AppIntent across multiple targets?
