An error occurred preventing Xcode from downloading version information from App Store Connect for account "xxxxxxxx". An unexpected error occurred: [<__NSDictionaryM 0x600003ed4fe0> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the <app name! 5.00.12 (iOS App). I have no idea what the hell is causing this. I have checked all of the links between screens and objects and none are missing. This is a live active version on the store.

Hello I have developed a standalone app for watchOS - trying my best to use best practices and floowing the (limited)documentation. But here I am, unable to distribute - or even Validate - my apps archive in Xcode. As far as I can tell, bundle_id's are correct. It has an iOS wrapper (set up by New Project), Skip install has been tried in every combination. I'm at a loss. I'm sure there is some simple setting or workflow that I am missing, but I've been at it for days. Yes. Days. Has anyone recently created and successfully distributed a standalone watch app that could help me troubleshoot? I would be extremely appreciative. My kids would too. They miss their dad (just one 5 more minutes, I think I got it!)(I didn't get it) Thank you bob

Hi everyone, After updating my Mac and Xcode to 26, I’m running into a consistent crash whenever I try to launch an app from Xcode. Environment: Mac: Apple Silicon M3 macOS: 26.0 (25A354) Xcode: 26.0.1 (17A400) Issue: When I press Run on any project (including new, empty projects), Xcode immediately crashes. This started only after updating to the latest macOS and Xcode. Crash details: The crash log shows: Application Specific Signatures: ___localError Thread 0 crashed inside -[IDEScheme _executionOperationForSchemeOperationParameters:...] from IDEFoundation/IDEKit. I also noticed background threads calling DVTPortal (developer portal requests) right before the crash. What I’ve tried so far: Cleared DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, and Xcode caches. Signed out/in of my Apple ID in Xcode. Recreated project schemes. Verified provisioning profiles. Reinstalled Xcode 26. Unfortunately, the crash still happens. Question: Is this a known issue with Xcode 26 on Apple Silicon (M3)? Has anyone seen a workaround? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated — I can’t currently launch apps in Xcode at all. Thanks!

Hi all, very new "developer" trying to build my own app. The app works, just trying to improve it. I’m implementing a Live Activity in a widget extension (Swift/SwiftUI) for an app built with Flutter as the host app. ActivityKit is functioning correctly—activities start, update, and end normally, and the widget extension receives all state updates. However, the Live Activity UI renders as a completely black capsule (both compact and expanded Dynamic Island, as well as the Lock Screen presentation). The system shows the Live Activity container, but none of the SwiftUI content displays. Verified so far: ActivityAttributes contains at least one stored property (previously empty). ContentState fully Codable + Hashable. All Dynamic Island regions return visible test UI (Text/Image). No .containerBackground() usage. Added explicit .activityBackgroundTint() + system foreground colors. All Swift files included in widget extension target. No runtime errors, no decode failures, no SwiftUI logs. Widget previews work. Clean build, app reinstall, device reboot. Entitlements and Info.plist appear valid. Problem: The widget extension returns a completely black UI on-device, despite valid SwiftUI content in ActivityConfiguration. The Live Activity “shell” renders, so the activity is recognized, but the widget’s view hierarchy is visually empty. Question: Under what conditions would a widget extension produce a black, empty UI for a Live Activity even when ActivityKit, previews, and the SwiftUI layout are correct? Are there known cases where: Widget extension Info.plist misconfiguration, Incorrect background/tint handling, Rendering issues in Dynamic Island, Host app integrations (Flutter), Or extension isolation issues cause valid SwiftUI to fail to render in a Live Activity? Any guidance on deeper debugging steps or known system pitfalls would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m a student developer currently building a watchOS app that uses HealthKit and HKWorkoutSession to estimate core body temperature from real-time heart rate data. The app runs well in the simulator, but testing on a physical Apple Watch has been extremely difficult. Each time I try to run the app from Xcode (Version 16.3), the build gets stuck on: “Copying shared cache symbols from MyWatchName (0% completed)” Sometimes it just stops stating connection failure. However, more often no errors are shown, but the sync never finishes. I’ve tried the following without success: Restarting the watch, iPhone, and Xcode Switching networks (Wi-Fi and hotspot) USB wired pairing Resetting developer settings and trust prompts Deleting derived data Rebuilding the project This is especially limiting for a real-time health tracking app where I need to monitor HKLiveWorkoutBuilder data while the screen sleeps — which can’t be tested effectively in the simulator.

Hello, I am facing a recurring issue with Xcode iOS simulator (preview). I want to preview a SwiftUI for iOS in Xcode, but the Simulator app fails to boot up. I receive the following error in Xcode: Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update. I have tried the following: Completely uninstalling XCode and deleting all developer data, then reinstalling everthing again. Shutdown and restart Deleting all developer data, deleting XCode cache Reinstalling iOS Simulator runtimes and reconfiguration of simulators. Tested using different simulator and runtime versions. "xcrun simctl --set previews delete al" My reported issues: FB20987522 FB20485454 Thank you Best regards, Jens

I have a question concerning Xcode version 26. Ever since I installed this version on my Mac, I have been experiencing issues with the StoreKit configuration file. The Simulated StoreKit Failures check boxes and selections are all grayed out. Once in a while, I see a pop-up stating "The document 'TaConfig.storekit' could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application. The pop-up Save as... points to where my config file is located, but the config file is grayed out. I thought maybe the directory where the file is located is write protected, but I have been able to save other files to the same directory. The Edit Scheme... -> Run -> Options has the StoreKit Configuration set for my file TaConfig.storekit. It feels like there is an option somewhere that I'm missing.

Hello, Is there any plan to integrate realtime sanitier (RTSan) in Apple Clang? This tool has been introduced in Clang 20.1.0 back in March 2025. This tool is incredibly useful, and having it in AppleClang (and ideally integrated in Xcode and xcodebuild) would be great. Thank you, Best, Thomas

Where are the instructions for this process

Hi, I'm working on an app that integrates third-party UWB accessories using the Nearby Interaction framework. I want to display real-time data via Live Activities, and ideally, I hope the app can continue ranging/interacting with the accessory even when it's in the background—triggering updates in the Live Activity. Specifically: Can I use Live Activity to keep Nearby Interaction sessions running in the background, as long as the accessory is still nearby and connected? Or do I always need to initiate sessions in the foreground? Are there ways to maintain or trigger new Nearby Interaction sessions entirely in the background, when using third-party UWB accessories? Is there any official guidance regarding permissions, user authorization requirements, or restrictions for background ranging with third-party hardware? Are there recommended strategies or patterns for updating Live Activity widgets with data from Nearby Interaction or UWB accessories while backgrounded? (e.g. Bluetooth triggers, push notifications, background tasks) Any advice, experiences, or official recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I want to ensure my implementation is compliant and offers the best possible user experience. Thanks!

Hi everyone, In the previous Xcode version, I was using Intelligence with ChatGPT to refactor and fix code. It worked great: it applied changes across files in a few seconds and the code preview updated quickly. In the new Xcode version, something strange is happening: • With Claude, responses are almost instant. • With ChatGPT, it starts fine but then it shows the entire file instead of just the relevant section and, after a few lines, it starts streaming character by character, becoming extremely slow. This only started after updating Xcode. Is there any setting (streaming, token limits, formatting, etc.) that I can tweak to get ChatGPT back to the previous performance? Is anyone else seeing this issue with ChatGPT in Intelligence, or is it just my setup? Thanks in advance for any help!

What possessed Apple developers to redesign the Behaviors UX? It is not as flexible, and at least Custom Behaviors do not work all the way through 26.2beta. You cannot name or rename behaviors. It just keeps "New Behavior." You cannot delete behaviors. Running shell scripts does not work. I gave up after that. Why was the Xcode 16 model changed and NOT TESTED!

I just submitted a feedback for this (FB9662125) but in the spirit of “share and enjoy”… The cool new Generate Info.plist File feature in Xcode 13 crashes if you try to put an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary in your Info.plist file. Here’s a simple repro scenario: Create a minimal iOS app (no Core Data, no tests) Go to target settings → Info tab → Custom iOS Target Properties Click the (+) button on any row to begin inserting a new row Select Privacy - Location Temporary Usage Description Dictionary Click somewhere else or press Return to commit the selection Xcode crashes immediately More generally, it seems that Xcode crashes any time it tries to regenerate your Info.plist file if it contains an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary, even if (for example) you manually pasted that dictionary into the file earlier. In that case, merely tapping the (+) button in step 3 above is enough to crash it.

my Objective-C/Swift mixed project using cocoapods started experiencing persistent Swift code highlighting issues. Partial highlighting loss but when i use "compare code" function of the editor, It shows that everything works well on the compared code. rename also can not be used any more. does anyone know ho to fix this?

Hey there! I recently noticed that when using Xcode Code Intelligence, it repeats itself within the response. Is this a normal occurrence, or is there an issue with the LLM itself? I’m using MistralAI Codestral as my LLM.

I've reset and reinstalled Xcode several times, reset finder files for Xcode, but the options in the Swift tutorial aren't showing up
