I'm getting following message when launching #Playgrounds canvas with Xcode 26 beta 4. Here are things I've tried: Reinstall Xcode Reinstall components Removed derived data Run Disk Utility to fix permissions Tried to change Default Actor Isolation, Approachable Concurrency Changed around settings on Schemes: Run: Options and Diagnostics Created brand new project with default settings. Filed FB19003005 in Feedback Assistant. I'm surprised to see that I didn't see any posts on this during my search. So this could be isolated matter just to me.

Description: I’m noticing that the code coverage metrics in Xcode 26 are not accurate compared to earlier versions. In Xcode 15, the same set of unit tests shows around 38% coverage, but in Xcode 26, even though all the tests are running successfully (for example, the SegmentedUI test cases), the code coverage is displayed as 0%. Has anyone else observed this behavior in Xcode 26? Is there any known issue, workaround, or configuration change required to get the correct coverage report? Environment: Xcode 26 iOS 18 SDK Unit tests running under XCTest Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

On devices and simulators with iOS 26.1, the animation does not work correctly (the initial and final screens are distorted). I use open class func transition(with view: UIView, duration: TimeInterval, options: UIView.AnimationOptions = [], animations: (() -> Void)?, completion: ((Bool) -> Void)? = nil) with options: .transitionFlipFromRight

Hello Team, I try to delete photo from Photos for that i used this method, [[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{ [PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets:@[assetToDelete]]; completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) { }]; This method pops up a dialog with Don't Allow or Delete. But some time in some iPhones not respond PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets method that's why that completionHandler not called because of that i can't perform any operation of PHPhotoLibrary then after. If I restart my iPhone then it works. Many users of my app complained about this issue. I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 15.3. But some iOS 12,14,16 users also face the same issue. So what exact issue is there? Is it related to iOS or a method? Thanks, Ankur

The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to: create folders copy files into it by dragging them from macOS safe files from safari I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet. The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison. My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5. To reproduce: New folder Launch Files app in iOS simulator Tap into "On my phone" From the top menu tap "New Folder" (nothing happens) Download a file Launch safari Find a file like a PDF to download Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom The "Save" button is grayed out. Copy from macOS Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator the sheet appears with the filename in the text field The "Save" button is grayed out

We are seeing repeated occurrences of the following log line in test runs triggered via .xctestrun files on iOS 26: IDERunDestination: Supported platforms for the buildables in the current scheme is empty. This line is printed n number of times after a test fails, significantly increasing test execution duration (2–3 minutes extra in some cases). The issue does not occur when tests are built and run together from Xcode directly — it’s specific to .xctestrun-based executions using xcodebuild test-without-building. Steps to Reproduce: Use Xcode 26 to build a sample XCTest target (we used a simple UI test project). Locate the generated .xctestrun file under DerivedData/.../Build/Products/.... Run tests using: xcodebuild -xctestrun /path/to/sample.xctestrun \ -destination "id=<device_id>" \ test-without-building Observe the logs during test failure. Observed Behavior: The log line IDERunDestination: Supported platforms for the buildables in the current scheme is empty appears multiple times. The test cleanup and teardown phase takes significantly longer (2–3 minutes). Expected Behavior: The log should appear once or not at all. Test cleanup time should remain consistent. Additional Information: Affects only iOS 26 devices and .xctestrun-based runs. Not reproducible on iOS < 26. Xcode 26 and 26.x beta versions tried. Reproducible both locally and on CI systems using real devices. Same .xctestrun file, when used on older OS versions, does not cause delay.

Hi, I'm running Xcode version 26.0.1 (17A400). Every time I restart Xcode, it seems to not recognize my Claude login anymore, and I have to go through the whole authentication flow again. It's quite annoying. Does anyone have a solution for it?

I've recently installed 26.1 Beta 3 alongside stable 26.0.1 When building my app with 26.0.1 the final .ipa size is ~17mb, however after building my app with 26.1 Beta 3 the size has increased up to ~22mb The main difference is Assets.car blowing from 1.1mb to 5.6mb (or 8.6mb if I include all icons settings). Upon examining I've found new liquid glass .icon file duplicating itself multiple times as png variants (any, dark, tinted, etc). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Does Xcode 26 still support creating pull requests and/or viewing comments from GitHub pull requests associated with the current branch? This used to be possible, but I cannot get it to work with the current version of Xcode (26.0.1). The "Create Pull Request" menu item takes me to github.com directly, instead of presenting a nice UI menu; hence I'm wondering.

I am constantly reaching my daily ChatGPT limit and even though it's recommending that I log in, I already am. What can I do to fix this?

Hi, I'm setting up Xcode and after updating MacOS to 15.2 and Xcode to 16.2, I cannot download the Predictive Code Completion Model. I've done some research and I haven't found any solution, specially since most people suggest that it randomly fixed itself, which for me hasn't been the case. I've tried restarting my Mac, uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode multiple times, I've also reinstalled MacOS from Recovery and haven't found any success (I'm also not running Xcode inside a VM, as I've seen this can cause some problems in this case). This is the error that I receive when I attempt to download the model: And here are the details: The operation couldn’t be completed.

Hello, I am currently working on personal project based on Matter. I need to create a Basic Video Player as specified in Matter's standard embedding the Media Playback Cluster. I went through the reading of how Apple now supports Matter as a standard : linkText My understanding of the following schematic, is alongside : HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) Framework API Related HAP accessories underneath the homeKit framework. Developpers also find under the Homekit framework : CHIP (Connected Home IP) Framework API Related Matter accessories this time Both types of accessories/devices can be commissioned in the HomeKit ecosystem seemlessly. Each framework has it's documentation : HAP : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/homekit/hmhomemanager CHIP : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter I want through the process of installing XCode and the HomeKit Accessory Simulator. In the list of HomeKit Accessories I did not see any Media related devices : The list of currently supported devices is limited as I read here and will be enriched with time : https://support.apple.com/en-us/102135#:~:text=The%20Home%20app%20currently%20supports,%2C%20temperature%2C%20and%20humidity). In the meantime, as I read the matter documentation, I read several references made to the Media Playback : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/mtrclustermediaplayback https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/mtrbaseclustermediaplayback https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/clusters#Interacting-with-the-Media-Playback-cluster My questions are : Are Matter Basic Video Players, (Media Playback) supported in HomeKit ? Why aren't they listed in HomeKit Accessory Simulator ? How can I add a Basic Video Player in HomeKit and display it's Media Playback controls once I have added the device to HomeKit ? Thank you for your Answer. Regards David

Issue Report — Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e) In Xcode 26.0 beta, double-clicking a file in the project navigator does not open it in a new tab as it normally should. Instead, it opens the file in the current editor window. Interestingly, Option-clicking a file still opens it in a new tab as expected. I’ve confirmed that my Navigation preferences are properly set (see the attached screenshot), so this seems like a possible regression or bug in the current beta version.

xcode 15.2, mac m2 mini, 14.2.1 sonoma i need a pdf file to stage my app for screen shots for the market. icloud wont sync, cant drag files to the home screen or any screen, it just does not work. i am at the end of my rope here, i just need some screen shots, my app is approved and ready am i wrong>? is there a way to do this or is it just broken now in the name of (lazy) security? edit--the more i read the more i angry and frustrated i get. this is broken and will not be fixed. i need to just workaround via email. so happy my second 100 dollar developer subscription bill is coming up!

after update to xocde14, build my old project , and get error build: Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code.

We are preparing builds using Xcode 16.0 given we have a large set of users on iOS 12. Now we have doubts wether we will run into issues if we ship using it (even if it compiles, archives and uploads successfully) given the table columns and content has changed since the last time we checked this table: https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/. 1- Is the Deployment Targets range for Xcode 16 value correct for iOS? (On the 24th of February it had iOS 12-18, now it has iOS 15-18) 2- Are we OK to ship for iOS 12 using xcode 16.3? Thanks, Joao Garcia

It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

I just wanted to say thank you to the team that added coding assistance (Chat-GPT) to Xcode. I'm just learning SwiftUI and I love how it made suggestions to improve my app and shows me what it does and explains why it does what it does.

Hi, I’m seeing an unexpected change in how XCTFail behaves in UI tests after updating Xcode. I use the following helper method: `func waitForExistance(file: StaticString, line: UInt) -> Self { if !(element.exists || element.waitForExistence(timeout: Configuration.current.predicateTimeout)) { XCTFail("couldn't find element: \(element) after \(Configuration.current.predicateTimeout) seconds", file: file, line: line) return self } else { return self } }` In Xcode 16.4, this worked as expected: – when an element wasn’t found, XCTFail was triggered, but the test continued running, allowing my retry logic to execute. After updating to Xcode 26.1 / 26.2 - the test now immediately aborts after XCTFail, without executing the next retry. The logs show: `t = 113.22s Tear Down t = 113.22s Terminate com.viessmann.care:81789 *** Assertion failure in -[UITests.Tests _caughtUnhandledDeveloperExceptionPermittingControlFlowInterruptions:caughtInterruptionException:whileExecutingBlock:], XCTestCase+IssueHandling.m:273 Test Case '-[UITests.Tests test_case]' failed (114.323 seconds). Flushing outgoing messages to the IDE with timeout 600.00s Received confirmation that IDE processed remaining outgoing messages` It looks like XCTFail in Xcode 26 is now treated as an unhandled developer exception, which stops the test execution immediately, even when it’s called inside a helper method. This was not the case in earlier versions. My questions: Is this a regression in XCTest? Or an intentional change in how XCTFail behaves in newer Xcode versions? Should failures now be reported differently (e.g., using record(.init(type: .assertionFailure, …))) if I want to continue the test instead of aborting it? I would like to restore the previous behavior where the failure is logged without terminating the entire test, so my retry mechanism can still run. Has anyone else run into this after upgrading? Thanks in advance! If you’d like, I can also add recommended workarounds that actually work with Xcode 16.4 (e.g., replacing XCTFail with a non-terminating issue record).

How to download the runtime simulators for the most recent Xcode 26 beta? The current download command I’m using doesn’t seem to work, and I’m encountering the following issues: The runtime simulator download command (xcodebuild) requires the version number to be specified explicitly.
