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!

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 16 Beta not recognizing Apple Vision Pro on devices
I downloaded the new Xcode 16 Beta and AVP OS 2.0, But I saw that in Windows --> Devices + Simulators, my Mac was not recognizing that I had updated the Vision Pro's OS. So, I disconnected the AVP and tried connecting it again, but the device is not showing up. I've tried going into Remote Devices within the headset, disabling/enabling Developer Mode, turning off/on Wifi, restarting both devices. Is this an issue with XCode 16 Beta and/or Vision OS 2.0?

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?

NSHostingView Not Working With Swift 6.0
I recently compiled my macOS App with Swift 6 in Xcode 16 (was using Swift 5 previously) and noticed that AppKit Integration doesn't appear to be working as before. All my instances of NSHostingView which allow me to add a SwiftUI View to an AppKit NSWindow view controller no longer respond to mouse input anymore. All my NSHostingView instances display but refuse to accept any user interaction. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a workaround to get NSHostingView to once again be able to accept user/mouse events with Swift 6?

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?

Xcode 16 beta 3 can't load Teams in VM
I'm currently setting up a new build environment. Our old build server was a small M1 Mac Mini set up to build our, up-to-now, only app. Since we now have a second app (and probably more to come) and have some issues building all on the same mac (gem versions, flutter versions, etc.) I now set up a virtualized build environment. I'm currently running a MacOS 15 beta 3 VM on a M2 Mac Mini also on MacOS 15 beta 3. The VM has all basic tools inside, including Xcode 16 beta 3 and is logged in with our AppleID for our build server. The VM is spun up with a non-persistent storage before the build, installs the gem's/flutter in the correct version, checks out the code and builds it. Now I'm getting an error on the build, that I have to select a development team, but he team is already selected and the build is working fine on the old M1 Mac Mini. It is suggested to login to Xcode, so I logged in to Xcode in the VM, which itself was successful, but when loading the teams I'm getting the following error: Decoding Error There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format.. The account info is correct, it's the same account that is logged in to MacOS and it's the same account from the old build system. I guess this somehow has to do with the MacOS VM (before MacOS 15 it was not possible to signin to an apple id, this is also the reason why I use the beta). Is there any chance to fix this and get it working? We are not able to use Xcode cloud builds (or any other cloud services) due to corporate policies. We are also not able to buy a dedicated Mac Mini for every app (too expensive and too much time needed for maintenance).

Xcode Preview says:Cannot preview in this file: Failed to launch (App Name)
When I attempt to preview my code, I encounter an error message stating, “Cannot preview in this file: Failed to launch (App Name).” This issue is specific to this particular app. I attempted creating a new project, and that works fine. This is what it says in the diagnostics: | [Remote] JITError | | ================================== | | | [Remote] LLVMError | | | | LLVMError: LLVMError(description: "The file was not recognized as a valid object file")
