I'm trying to create a preview for my live activities when it's stale, so I created a preview provider. I followed some examples, but XCode says I'm missing preview context. Am I doing something wrong? I tried adding .previewContext(WidgetPreviewContext(family: .systemSmall)) but that doesn't seem to work.

Hi, I am testing payment on simulator. It worked previously but stopped. I am getting an error: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x600000031200>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=530 "(null)" UserInfo={client-environment-type=Sandbox, storefront-country-code=USA, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000c61fe0 {Error Domain=AMSErrorDomain Code=100 "Authentication Failed The authentication failed."

Xcode is adding un-wanted menu items to the Edit menu in a Mac Application. There is an automatically generated separator bar and an AutoFill menu item with two sub-menu items. Looking at the source code I see that two other items were suppressed in the initialize method of the AppController like this: NSMutableDictionary *defaultValues = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; //Get rid of Special characters menu item in edit menu: [defaultValues setObject: [NSNumber numberWithBool: YES] forKey: @"NSDisabledCharacterPaletteMenuItem"]; //Get rid of Start Dictation... menu item in edit menu: [defaultValues setObject: [NSNumber numberWithBool: YES] forKey: @"NSDisabledDictationMenuItem"]; [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults: defaultValues]; I guessed that there would also be a key like this: @"NSDisabledAutoFillMenuItem" but adding this to the code does nothing so apparently not. I searched programming forums and posters say that you can fix this by changing the name of the Edit menu to something like (space)Edit but this doesn't work. I searcher the Developer documentation and the Archives extensively for info about these keys but of course found nothing. Control-clicking on these pops up a menu of ways to search for these but none of them find anything. Control, option and command clicking on these keys results in ”?”. I can probably get a pointer to the menu and use NSMenu’s methods to delete these but something like the above would be better. Is there any documentation about this anywhere?

I can't seem to access preview for any of my views in any of my swift projects at all (using Mac to code and using iPhone 16 pro as preview and simulation, simulation can work), even after restarting Mac and Xcode itself. The preview section has a popup saying "Cannot preview in this file, unexpected error occured" (for every file), please tell me what is wrong and help me solve it to see the preview, thank you! details

When connecting xcode and iPhone, the keypad does not appear on the screen where you enter the device password to trust the computer, so the connection is not possible. How do I make the keypad appear? There is no response when I tap the text box.

In WWDC23: Fix failures faster with Xcode test reports, the presenter showed off an Xcode feature called Automation Explorer, that allows playback of a screen recording corresponding to an XCUITest. For the life of me, I have not been able to find out how to enable/use this feature in Xcode 16. I am using Test Plans and have set the UI Testing configuration settings for Automatic Screen Capture to On, and keep all and Preferred Capture Format to Video, but am not seeing any screen recordings being produced after running the tests. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi everyone, I’m planning to develop a cross-platform PDF viewer app for iOS and macOS that will read PDFs from local storage and cloud services (Google Drive, iCloud, WorkDrive, etc.). The app should be read-only and display both the PDF content and its metadata (author, title, creation date, etc.). Key Features: View PDFs: Local and remote (cloud storage integration). Display metadata: Title, author, page count, etc. Cloud integration: Google Drive, iCloud, Zoho WorkDrive, etc. Read-only mode: No editing features, just viewing. Questions: Xcode Template: Should I use the Document App or Generic App template for this? PDF Metadata: Any built-in libraries for extracting PDF metadata in a read-only app? Performance: Any advice or documentation on handling large PDFs or cloud fetching efficiently? Thanks in advance for any advice or resources!

Here is a modified code from the documentation example https://www.swift.org/documentation/server/guides/memory-leaks-and-usage.html#troubleshooting : class ViewController: UIViewController { var closure: () -> Void = { () } public func doNothing() {} public func doSomethingThatLeaks() { self.closure = { // This will leak as it'll create a permanent reference cycle: // // self -> self.closure -> self self.doNothing() } } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Memory leak example: doSomethingThatLeaks() // Abandoned memory example: // NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .init("Abandoned"), object: nil, queue: nil) { _ in // print("\(self)") // } } deinit { print(#function, Self.self) } } If you place it, for example, in a navigation controller, do a push-pop several times, deinit will not be printed. But if you look in the Debug Memory Graph, it will not even show that there is a strong reference to this controller: Only if you manually select: You can see that it is held by the closure context, which it holds: This is definitely not abandoned memory (like the commented piece of the code example), but it is not shown either in the Debug Memory Graph or in Instruments Leaks. Why?

Hi, i have met error below when i tried to po one attributes of an instance in my Xcode lldb: error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$xxxxx" was not found (cached) error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. Is there anybody met the same error before? I urgently want to know why this happen and how to fix this issue. My macOS Version is Sequoia v15.0.1, Xcode16.0. This problem showed after i upgraded my macOS and Xcode version.

Xcode 15.2 will not assign a UDID Identifier to my watch Apple 8 (ver. 10.2), therefore I do not see that Watch on my Dev account list of devises. When I build my App it will work fine on my iPhone 14 and it will show on the Available Watch App list on the phone and even (although shaded) on the Watch's Apps list itself, but it will not install and when I try to install I get this message: "This App could not be installed at this time". I know of many others that have the same problem. We have tried many ways to solve this problem, but without any success. It seems like Xcode 15 does not see the Watch. In fact when I click on the "Window-Devises" of Xcode I can see the iPhone and its identifier UDID, but it doesn't show the Watch although it is properly paired. Also, please note that the App will Install and Works perfectly fine in my old Watch 4 ( 10.2). However this particular Watch is present on the list of my DEV Account Devises as it was entered there by an earlier version of Xcode some two years ago. So it would appear that two versions of Xcode 15.x are a culprit in creating this problem. Any feedback or a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated by many. Thank you

I add the following info in the build settings of my app. Then I also add the icon to my asset. I build the app, it works normally, but I notice that when I changed the icon to 'AppIcon-Defaults', The icon change alert didn't appear. but it succeeds . I uploaded the archive to App Store I got: ITMS-90895: Missing Icon - The Info.plist key CFBundleIcons.CFBundleAlternateIcons contains an entry “AppIcon-Defaults” that references asset “AppIcon-Defaults.” No such asset is present in the asset catalog. Then I use xcrun --sdk iphoneos assetutil --info Assets.car to check the assets inside the archieved app, It have the asset.

I updated today at Xcode 16 beta 6, and my app using SwiftData on iOS 18 (beta 6) is getting now this new error when saving the model in the modelContext. I don't understand if it is a regression introduced in the beta 6 or if it is enforced something that previously wasn't. It seems to be always referred to the ID property, for example: SwiftData/ModelCoders.swift:1762: Fatal error: Passed nil for a non-optional keypath \MyModel.id In this case (and in most of the cases in my models) the ID is defined as following @Attribute(.unique) public var id: UUID I also tried to add the initialization inline, but didn't help @Attribute(.unique) public var id: UUID = .init() I also tried to remove the @Attribute(.unique), didn't help as well. Does any of you have the same issue?

We recently updated the codebase of our existing iOS application to improve compatibility with the latest versions of iOS. For several months, our attempts to deploy the updated application to TestFlight for testing and validation have consistently failed due to four recurring Xcode validation errors. Please see the attached document "X-Code Validation Errors.txt" for details on these errors. <see: XCode Validation Errors (forum).txt> Our application is developed using Visual Studio 2022 for PC with the .NET MAUI framework, as Microsoft no longer supports Visual Studio for Mac. After a successful build and testing using a virtual iPhone interface, Visual Studio connects remotely to the MacBook (Mac OS 15.1) sending the necessary project files that automatically triggers the Xcode (16.1) validation to begin. We have made numerous edits to both the plist.info and the project file in an attempt to resolve the validation errors with little to no success. We are confident that is a configuration mismatch between what the plist says and the structure of the project itself. We are hoping that someone here in the developer group has some answers for us. Our team is relatively new iOS development and have spent hours trying to resolve this issue. What are we doing wrong and what specifically do we need to change to correct these errors so that we can finally get this project into TestFlight? I have attached copies of our plist.info, project structure, and error messages. Please help XCode Validation Errors (forum).txt Info.plist

Hello, I'm kinda new to Xcode and I was trying to get back to programming while I follow a course. There seemed to be a problem with the preview and it looks like there was nothing wrong with the code, at least from what I know. I can say this because the code is the default one that Xcode gives you when you start a new project. here is the error log. == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: SchemeBuildError: Failed to build the scheme “App” linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Link App.debug.dylib (arm64): Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "_main", referenced from: ___debug_main_executable_dylib_entry_point in command-line-aliases-file ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: SchemeBuildError: Failed to build the scheme “App” linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Link App.debug.dylib (arm64): Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "_main", referenced from: ___debug_main_executable_dylib_entry_point in command-line-aliases-file ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I have a complex project that used to compile without any problems that i could not solve before I bought a new iMac (the latest, M4), which came with macOS Sequoia. I've ben able to compile the whole project since 1998, which has evolved into an AppKit Mac app written almost completely in Swift. I am also able to compile this project on Xcode 16.1 on MacOS Sonoma. However, since I upgraded to MacOS Sequoia, I am stumped with lots of errors that I don't know how to fix. Many of them are related to new build system, which works fine in smaller projects I have written, but it completely breaks when I use this more complex project. I've been unable to create a focused project so I can file a DTS incident, because when I try to recreate it in a new, more focused project, the problem goes away. I tried to transfer the code to a freshly created project, and I was able to make it build again without errors, but then this new project just creates empty bundles without any resources and executables in them. In almost 25 years of experience in coding, I've never encountered such huge problems with just a MacOS upgrade. I would like to have some guidance on how to proceed. Here is an example of the errors I'm getting: error: unable to write file '/SchIS64.build/Objects-normal/arm64/SchIS64.LinkFileList': fopen(/SchIS64.build/Objects-normal/arm64/SchIS64.LinkFileList, wb): No such file or directory (2) (in target 'SchIS64' from project 'Scheduler (Cocoa)') WriteAuxiliaryFile /SchIS64.build/unextended-module.modulemap (in target 'SchIS64' from project 'Scheduler (Cocoa)') cd /Users/admin/Documents/Development/Scheduler/Scheduler write-file /SchIS64.build/unextended-module.modulemap WriteAuxiliaryFile /SchIS64.build/unextended-module-overlay.yaml (in target 'SchIS64' from project 'Scheduler (Cocoa)') cd /Users/admin/Documents/Development/Scheduler/Scheduler write-file /SchIS64.build/unextended-module-overlay.yaml WriteAuxiliaryFile /SchIS64.build/SchIS64.hmap (in target 'SchIS64' from project 'Scheduler (Cocoa)') cd /Users/admin/Documents/Development/Scheduler/Scheduler write-file /SchIS64.build/SchIS64.hmap

I have different versions of my iOS App (written in SwiftUI). The app on the store, the App Clip, and one or two next version apps not yet released (e.g. A/B comparison). All good. But now I've started creating UI and Unit tests and I'm confused about how to get this working. Each build target has its own scheme. And in that scheme I have a Test plan for that target. E.g. The App Clip scheme has an App Clip test plan. Since all the app variants are very similar, I only have one set of unit tests and one set of UI tests so each test plan includes the same unit test target and the UI test target. Problem: When I selected a scheme (e.g. for the App Clip) and ran the tests, it turned out that all the tests ran for another build target, not the target of the scheme. I think this might be because within the definition of the test target there's a field specifying the host application. I.e. the build target. Question: How can I set up my project so that the test plan uses the relevant target build? Or do I have to duplicate all the test targets (one for each target)? Or do I have to manually change each test target before running it for a particular build target?

I have defined a method appendString method in a NSMuatableAttributedString category like this: @implementation NSMutableAttributedString (HTML) // appends a plain string extending the attributes at this position - (void)appendString:(NSString *)string { NSParameterAssert(string); NSUInteger length = [self length]; ... And this method is worked well in iOS17 and before . But when it cames iOS18 . this appendString will not be called. So I doubt maybe there is a system-defined appendString already. So I write a demo in empty project to print all the NSMuatableAttributedString method in iOS18 like these: @interface ViewController () @end @implementation ViewController void printNSStringCategories() { unsigned int count; Class nsStringClass = [NSMutableAttributedString class]; // 获取所有的方法 Method *methods = class_copyMethodList(nsStringClass, &count); for (unsigned int i = 0; i < count; i++) { SEL selector = method_getName(methods[i]); NSString *methodName = NSStringFromSelector(selector); NSLog(@"NSMutableAttributedString method: %@", methodName); } free(methods); } - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. printNSStringCategories(); } And test it in my iPhone (iOS18.2) , the log will printed NSMutableAttributedString method: appendString:withAttributes: NSMutableAttributedString method: cr_appendStorage:fromRange: NSMutableAttributedString method: cr_appendString: NSMutableAttributedString method: appendString:withAttributes: NSMutableAttributedString method: appendString: So it seems a appendString: is aleady defined in system SDK . But the weird thing is when I run this code in the Xcode simulator (iOS18.1) this appendString: will not print . 1 Is it a bug of SDK ? because the appendString: only exist in device-build , and not exist in simulator-build? two more furthur question: 2.1 if the SDK contains appendString: already , why the appendString: defined in my category not cause the duplicate symbol error when compile 2.2 As the question 2.1 said , there maybe same symbols in runtime . Is there any way to find the framework/library which defined those same-name symbols ? (e.g: there are two appendString:withAttributes: in the log , I want to find the two places define each appendString:withAttributes: exactly)

The problem is that when building the application with Debug mode on Xcode 16.1, the dSYM files fail to upload to Crashlytics. It worked in latest Xcode 15 version. The workaround is to disable Debug Dylib Support in the target's Build Settings. However, this causes SwiftUI previews to stop working. Reproducing the issue Set ENABLE_DEBUG_DYLIB=YES for build options Build the application in Xcode 16.1 Firebase SDK Version 11.4.0 Xcode Version 16.1 Installation Method Swift Package Manager Firebase Version 11.5.0 Relevant Log Output warning: (arm64) /Users/dustin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyAppName-cicejndcecececfe/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyAppName.app/ MyAppName empty dSYM file detected, dSYM was created with an executable with no debug info. The warning seems like is from XCode/lldb compiler rather than Crashlytics (https://lldb.llvm.org/cpp_reference/SymbolFileDWARF_8cpp_source.html line655). This is probably something on Apple side, Crashlytics only consumes dSYM which is generated from Xcode.
