How to Download IOS 26 beta runtime simulator using "xcodebuild" tool?
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. I’ve tried multiple variations of version names/numbers but haven’t been able to identify the correct naming convention used by Apple for the Xcode 26 beta simulator runtimes. $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform IOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -buildVersion 26 Finding content...iOS 26 is not available for download. $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -buildVersion 26.0 Finding content...iOS 26.0 is not available for download. $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -buildVersion 26.0 beta Finding content...iOS 26.0 is not available for download. $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -buildVersion "26.0 beta" Finding content...iOS 26.0 beta is not available for download. $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -buildVersion "26.0_beta" Finding content...iOS 26.0_beta is not available for download. $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -buildVersion 26.0_beta Finding content...iOS 26.0_beta is not available for download.

How to disable Temporary Tabs in Xcode?
It's maddening. I just opened a file and now it's gone because I had the audacity to open another file. I've learned that I can double click the tab of the first file to make it a permanent tab... but, of course, I'll need to do that every time I ever open any file ever, and if I close that file and come back to it later I'm going to be constantly having to double click tabs just to make Xcode stop replacing my tabs for me. It's nuts. It's driving me insane. Please. Is there any way to just DISABLE the temporary tabs behavior? I don't find it helpful in any way and I find it to be destructive to my development workflows.

Xcode 26.0 beta: Double-click in Navigator Doesn’t Open File in New Tab
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 16.2 - error: unable to open dependencies file
Hello, I am encountering "unable to open dependencies file" error in XCode that started after updating to Xcode version 16.2 and macOS version 15.2. The error message I receive is as follows: error: unable to open dependencies file (/Users/user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-cwpcmnebzjpgkzcuoauxlaeiqrsg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyProject.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyProject.build/Objects-normal/arm64/MyProject-master.d) (in target 'MyProject' from project 'MyProject') This problem didn’t occur with XCode 16.1; the project was building successfully before the update. Now, even reverting to XCode 16.1 doesn’t resolve the issue anymore. Here’s what I’ve tried so far without success: Switched the compilation mode to “Whole Module” Cleaned the build folder Cleared Derived Data Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Unable to debug Memory Graph in Xcode: "an unknown error occurred launching the helper task"
I am not able to use the Debug Memory Graph tool as well as Leaks instrument inside Xcode to debug my project. I'm running my project on physical iOS device on running 18.3 version and I tested the project on two different MacBooks running Xcode 16.3 and 16.1. On both the same problem persists. I have also reinstalled the project on the device and tried restarting all devices and cleared DerivedData. Nothing helped.

XCode26 doesnt compile PhotosUI properly
Hi so i have a given project where I am trying to use components within the PhotosUI Framework with Xcode26 and Xcode26.0.1 Just for reference here is an attached screenshot This sample code compiled successfully with xcode16.4 and was in production. There is no change in the pbxproj file , all the build settings have remained the same. Attaching it for reference. project.pbxproj.txt While showing declarations of PHPickerViewControllerDelegate i get two options which is the same as in Xcode16.4 while browsing online found this reddit thread which is very similar https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcode/comments/1nkku20/my_project_wont_compile_after_xcode_26_update_due/ Pls help :)

Missing required modules when enabling Swift 6
Hi team, We're using CocoaPods in our project and we noticed the compiler fails to build certain targets saying it's "Missing required module 'x'" when trying to build them in Swift 6: We realized the modules the compiler is complaining about are pod dependencies required by the other target dependencies, and that this error will only appear when building with Swift 6 unless such dependencies are described on the Podfile as direct dependencies of the target, or we include them in the framework search paths. For example, the error in the image above will show if module 'X' import 'Y' and 'Y' imports 'CocoaLumberJack' and we don't specify a direct dependency between 'X' and 'CocoaLumberJack'. Regardless of the fact that we can manually add the missing module location to the target search paths, we'd like to understand why we're facing this issue in the first place, what changed between Swift 5 and Swift 6 that's requiring us now to explicitly describe these dependencies. I'd appreciate if someone could tell us more about this. We're particularly interested on knowing if this is an intentional change and how to handle it properly. Thanks

macOS 26.0 Tahoe + Xcode 26.0.1 Simulator causes system-wide audio distortion
After upgrading to macOS 26.0 Tahoe and Xcode 26.0.1, I’ve noticed an issue with audio playback whenever the iOS Simulator is running. Device: MacBook Pro 13" (2020, Intel, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) Issue: Any sound played on the Mac (system sounds, music, videos) begins to break/distort once the Simulator is active. App Sounds: If the app running inside the Simulator plays audio, that audio also breaks/distorts. Previous Version: This issue did not occur on macOS Sequoia 15 or with Xcode 16. Everything was working fine before the upgrade.

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!

Shared dependencies between test and production code creates library duplication
When test support code relies on production code, a diamond can occur. If this occurs across packages, it can lead to duplicated symbols and incorrect behavior at runtime despite no warnings at build time. This only occurs in Xcode and top-level application testing. This doesn't occur when the code being tested is in a separate package. I'm trying to understand how to correctly manage shared test support code which needs to access production code, or if this is the correct way and it is an Xcode bug. For a minimized example project, see https://github.com/rnapier/SupportCode. The setup includes three packages: Dependencies, which manages all the dependencies for the app and tests; Core which contains core logic and test support; and Feature, which relies on Core an contains feature-related logic and test support. Building this system causes Core.framework to show up three times in DerivedData: ./App.app/PlugIns/AppTests.xctest/Frameworks/Core_59974D35D_PackageProduct.framework ./App.app/Frameworks/Core_59974D35D_PackageProduct.framework ./PackageFrameworks/Core_59974D35D_PackageProduct.framework When unit tests are run, there is a collision on the symbol for Keychain: objc[48914]: Class _TtC8Keychain8Keychain is implemented in both /Users/ornapier/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-grdjljgevqofhqgflgtrqvhvbtej/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/PackageFrameworks/Core_59974D35D_PackageProduct.framework/Core_59974D35D_PackageProduct (0x100a98118) and /Users/ornapier/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/216C441E-4AE5-45EC-8E52-FA42D8562365/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/7197F2F2-EB26-42FF-B7DB-67116159897D/App.app/PlugIns/AppTests.xctest/AppTests (0x1011002c0). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. This is not a benign warning. There are two distinct copies of _TtC8Keychain8Keychain and test cases will access one and the app will access a different one. This leads to mismatches when accessing static instances such as .shared. I believe this dependency graph should work, and it does work as long as the top-level testing system is a Swift module. But if it is the application, it builds successfully, but behaves incorrectly in subtle ways.
