{Project}-LinkMap-normal-arm64.txt changed?
I upgraded xcode to 16.2 and found that the txt file generated by Write Link Map File is different from before, no longer containing detailed data. So, how to set it up to obtain the same link map file as the previous xcode version. # Path: /Users/....../xxx.app/__preview.dylib # Arch: arm64 # Object files: [ 0] linker synthesized # Sections: # Address Size Segment Section 0x00004000 0x00000000 __TEXT __text # Symbols: # Address Size File Name

MapKit not working in Swift Playgrounds
This is the complete Playground code: import MapKit import SwiftUI import PlaygroundSupport struct AddressSearchView: View { @State private var region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.01, longitudeDelta: 0.01) ) var body: some View { VStack { Map(position: .constant(MapCameraPosition.region(region))) { } .frame(height: 300) } } } struct AddressSearchView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { AddressSearchView() } } PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(AddressSearchView()) When I try to run this I get this in the debug console: error: Couldn't look up symbols: protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler. the preview never shows up. If I use other SwiftUI components and not the map it works fine. What is happening? Playground target is Swift 6 macOS (iOS does the same). Xcode 16.2

ncorrect Beta Xcode Error
Unable to Submit iOS App for App Review Due to Incorrect Beta Xcode Error I'm encountering an issue when trying to submit a new build of my iOS app to the App Store. The app launches from TestFlight without any problems, but when attempting to submit it for App Review, I get the following error: "This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can’t be submitted." However, I'm not using a beta version of Xcode. I've tested this with both the public releases of Xcode 16.3 and 16.2. The build logs show no issues with the SDK or Platform versions, but in App Store Connect, the metadata is displaying the following: Build SDK: $(SDK_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) Build Platform: $(PLATFORM_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Xcode 16.3 beta: Unable to specify package traits for testing
Swift 6.1 introduces package traits, which are great. But sometimes one might want to have a trait that is not enabled by default, and in such cases you will still want to be able to unit test them. Can we get an option, perhaps in the test plan configuration, that would allow us to specify traits that should be enabled when compiling for testing, even if those traits are not enabled by default? Bonus points if we could have multiple test plans that each build with a different set of traits, and running all the tests would cause the package to be built multiple times, so that all possible combinations of traits could be properly unit tested.

Xcode 16.1 hang after adding Store Kit configuration
I don't know Xcode very well, and had been using it sporadically to test a project exported from Unity. I recently added a StoreKit Configuration to the project, and since then it gives me ≈10s after launching before the beach ball appears, and it never leaves. Xcode says it is "Indexing" but I don't know if that's an obvious culprit. I can still build my project via the fastlane tool, on the command line, and the newly-added StoreKit configuration works just fine. But I cannot use Xcode interactively any more, unless I re-export the project from Unity. The only difference between it working and hanging is the Store Kit configuration. How do I understand what's going on, and (ideally) fix it? The Activity Monitor gives a bunch of backtraces that don't have an obvious network or I/O culprit in them.

iOS Simulator (18.4) crashes when user clicks allow for Speech Recognition permission popup
When a new application runs on iOS 18.4 simulator and tries to access the Speech Framework, prompting a request for authorisation to use Speech Recognition, the application will crash if the user clicks allow. Same issue in the visionOS 2.4 simulator. Using Swift 6. Report Identifier: FB17686186 /// Checks speech recognition availability and requests necessary permissions. @MainActor func checkAvailabilityAndPermissions() async { logger.debug("Checking speech recognition availability and permissions...") // 1. Verify that the speechRecognizer instance exists guard let recognizer = speechRecognizer else { logger.error("Speech recognizer is nil - speech recognition won't be available.") reportError(.configurationError(description: "Speech recognizer could not be created."), context: "checkAvailabilityAndPermissions") self.isAvailable = false return } // 2. Check recognizer availability (might change at runtime) if !recognizer.isAvailable { logger.error("Speech recognizer is not available for the current locale.") reportError(.configurationError(description: "Speech recognizer not available."), context: "checkAvailabilityAndPermissions") self.isAvailable = false return } logger.trace("Speech recognizer exists and is available.") // 3.

Xcode 16 Build & Archive Error - SPM
Since upgrading from Xcode 15 to 16, we have been experiencing a build error during compilation. Building on Xcode 15 still works with no issues. The error happens only on the first build after a clean. Subsequent builds succeed. This is an issue because our CI process archives the project from a clean slate, and this causes it to fail every time. I will attempt to describe the issue and include information I believe is relevant in this document. The error occurs on this import line within an Objective-C file during the Scan Dependencies step of compiling. This line imports our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "Swift2Objc.h". Our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file is simply wrapping the project’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "KWISwift.h". The error is specific to the import of the OfflineServices Swift Package. Specifically, the OfflineServices-Swift.h file - the Swift Package’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging file. Module JRE not found - the exact error (Also included as text on the bottom of the post) JRE is a third-party library provided to us as an xcframework. It is placed directly into our Swift Package as a binary target. The xcframework itself is composed of .a file and a Headers folder which includes header files and a module.modulemap. The module.modulemap file looks like this.

Integrating binary inside Framework via SPM
So I will summary an issue one of our clients has asked us on GitHub: https://github.com/pendo-io/pendo-mobile-sdk/issues/233 Project that is a custom framework that uses different SPM packages (one of them is Binary package), we have our main logic inside that framework and we have different targets that use this framework, everything works on the simulator, but running the app on the actual device provokes a crash saying "Binary framework was not found". We have like 20 other SPM packages that work fine, this is the first one we have an issue with. Please note I understand that SPM will not copy paste the Binary for the magic framework as it does for the apps so I suggested to embed it manually. So my question is what the best(easy) way to do it. Please refer to the following issue for more details: https://github.com/pendo-io/pendo-mobile-sdk/issues/233

Why Must All Attributes in a Composite Type Be Optional?
I recently encountered an issue involving Core Data’s new Composite Attributes feature and thought I would share my experience, as well as seek clarification. I created a composite type where all attributes were mandatory, except for one. Subsequently, I added an attribute to an entity and set its type to that composite type. Upon running the app, the console output the following error: CoreData: error: CoreData: error: Row (pk = 85) for entity ‘(EntityName)’ is missing mandatory text data for property ‘(propertyName)’ The way I resolved this was by removing the composite type attribute from the entity, after which the error no longer appeared. I also observed that in another entity, where a different composite type is used, all the attributes were optional — and no error occurred. This raises the question: why must all attributes in a composite type be optional? Furthermore, why does Xcode not inform the developer of this requirement? I have reviewed both the documentation and the WWDC23 “What’s New in Core Data” session, but neither mentions that having non-optional attributes within a composite type will cause such errors and lead to unpredictable application behaviour. Additionally, this issue remains unresolved in another area I raised previously in this topic: Composite Attributes feature requires tvOS deployment target 17.0 or later Composite Attributes feature requires watchOS deployment target 10.0 or later However, I do not have a tvOS or watchOS target, nor do I intend to add one. Could someone from Apple, or anyone with more experience, please clarify why all attributes within a composite type must be optional? And could it be possible for Xcode to flag this at compile time, rather than failing at runtime? Thank you in advance.

Xcode 16.3 C++ compiler makes binaries with corrupted memory.
I am creating an xcframework for a static library for iOS, but I am encountering a perplexing issue with Xcode 16.3. When I build an xcframework using C++ in one project and import it into another project, the application runs with corrupted memory. In the framework project, I use os_unfair_lock, but when attempting to lock, the app crashes due to a state error. This suggests that memory corruption is occurring. When the xcframework is built with Xcode 16.2, a proper binary is generated, and the app runs without any problems. Since I do not want to disclose the source code, I am trying to construct a minimal project that reproduces the issue, but so far I have not been successful. Fundamentally, I feel that the compiler in Xcode 16.3 cannot be trusted.

Xcode completion binding not working in 16.2
I'm wondering why 'Select Previous Completion' and 'Select Next Completion' aren't working. I'm using Ctrl-K and Ctrl-J but only my arrow keys work to navigation the completion list. 'Show Completion List' works just fine with Ctrl-Esc. There are no conflicts with any Xcode bindings, and I've checked my system settings for keyboard shortcuts as well.. I've completely disabled copilot, etc.. Is there another setting I'm missing? Or, is this a known issue?
