I am experimenting with Foundation Models using the new #Playground macro. It is pretty useful. One thing I am finding though, is that the playground constantly executing is distracting, when I restructure my code and know that the intermediate results are broken and I don’t care about them. I would like to disable the Playground, make some bigger code changes, and then enable Plaground again. How do I enable and disable the Playground from constantly running?

Hi all. I have tried using UIDesignRequiresCompatibility YES & NO for an application. Running on iOS 26 BETA 5 makes no difference to the UI. Running on Simulator MacOSS 26 BETA 5 makes no difference to the UI. Anyone had luck with this info plist setting?

I am trying to integrate fastlane, which relies on xcodebuild. So this is my first experience with xcodebuild. Whenever I run a command to test or build the target in the folder where all the files of the project are stored, the action failes with Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier For example I might be running this command: xcodebuild \ -project Hoerspielzentrale.xcodeproj \ -scheme HoerspielzentraleUITests \ -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name="Screenshot Simulator”' \ test However the mentioned error is returned: xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier: { platform:iOS Simulator, OS:latest, name:"Screenshot Simulator” } The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request. I can confirm that the simulator exists, is available and it can be booted. I have tried different simulators, different schemas, referencing them by their identifier, switching Xcode Versions, reset all simulators, derived data and build folder. After the error a complete list of all available destinations can be found, where I can see the simulator I try to use. Available destinations for the "HoerspielzentraleUITests" scheme: { platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:dvtdevice-DVTiOSDeviceSimulatorPlaceholder-iphonesimulator:placeholder, name:Any iOS Simulator Device } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:961DC569-9931-419A-B46E-769AAFA73EA2, OS:18.5, name:Screenshot Simulator } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:961DC569-9931-419A-B46E-769AAFA73EA2, OS:18.5, name:Screenshot Simulator } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:5E51FD98-C451-472F-9CDE-08D49E6B737B, OS:18.5, name:Screenshot Simulator Pro } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:5E51FD98-C451-472F-9CDE-08D49E6B737B, OS:18.5, name:Screenshot Simulator Pro } The rest of the list was omitted. I am currently completely stuck. Thank you

This question is a component of this question and an extension to this question which has been solved. This situation might feel a pinch constructed but it is a simplified version of one step of the original question. Basically in my app I have a script that outputs a folder with a few files inside of it. This folder is output to $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/build/ and is referenced via a PBXBuildFile. Because I put a wait in the script (to simulate a long build I have in my real project) it is very obvious when the script is or isn't run. The goal would be for it to run only when its dependencies have changed. The trick is if I put this script as a "run script" phase within my final target dependency analysis works great. The script only runs when the dependencies are updated. However if I put the "run script" phase into an aggregate target then add it as a Target Dependency in the main target Xcode wants to run the script every time. Regardless of if the dependencies have changed. However if you build just the aggregate target alone everything goes just fine. It only builds when it has to. To me this does not quite make sense. I thought that dependency analysis of the script within my aggregate target would be the same regardless of whether that script was within the aggregate target or the main target. In my app I ideally need the aggregate target to be shared by multiple other targets. While I could put the script in each it would be more foolproof to have them share an aggregate target. Why would dependency analysis come to a different conclusion when the script is within an aggregate target that is a target dependency of the main target? If it helps here is the script and the entire project can be found here on GitHub if you would like to play with it. mkdir -p "${SCRIPT_OUTPUT_FILE_0}/build/" echo "Pausing for 10 seconds before creating files..." sleep 10 cat "${SCRIPT_INPUT_FILE_0}" cat > "${SCRIPT_OUTPUT_FILE_0}/build/index.html" << EOF <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Simple Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to Simple Page</h1> <p>Generated at: $(date)</p> </body> </html> EOF cat > "${SCRIPT_OUTPUT_FILE_0}/build/page.html" << 'EOF' <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Simple Page</title> </head> <body> </body> </html> EOF

I've been experimenting with using local LLMs in place of ChatGPT in coding assistant. I was able to do this using LM Studio. I found that switching LLMs was a little clunky, but eventually, I was able to make it work. However, none of the LLMs I tried were able to generate error free Swift code. Not surprising at this stage. I decided to train an LLM (Llama3.1-8b) with Apple's Swift Programming language reference, using Open WebUI, and this worked. I was able to get the LLM to generate working Swift Code that I was able to test in Playgrounds. The problem I'm having now is that Xcode is locked up on the last LLM I tried out. I've tried deleting all the LLM providers in Settings, leaving only ChatGPT, but Xcode still defaults to the local LLM, even though it throws errors if you try to ask it a question. I've tried reinstalling Xcode, downloading new versions of sample Xcode projects, and deleting various data files, all to no avail. I would really like to test the new LLM I've trained in coding assistant, but right now, Xcode won't let me. It won't even let me revert to ChatGPT.

Is anybody able to save the autocreated testplan successfully with Xcode 16.3? I get a crash no matter what (different filenames, locations, machines, ...). Now created a template project: same thing. Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) on macOS 15.5 (24F74) Known issue, or am I holding it wrong?

Hi! A couple of months ago my app was archiving just fine. Since an xcode update the build fails. Here is what shows at the end of the log. Thank you in advance for any help! Run custom shell script 'Run Script' Failed to package [project folder] Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

My project has been around for twenty years and has over a thousand .m files. They all build into one of two static library targets. I believe I cannot use swift packages from a static library, or at least I couldn't get it to work. Moving my code into a dynamic library also seems like an overwhelming task; when I tried, it looked like I would need to change every single #import to use <> instead of "". I also tried using the open source swift-create-xcframework but it didn't work, and I would rather not depend on third party build tools. Do I have any good options?

I am trying to setup a unversal linking for my new developing app. but it look like not function well. did any one have some examples or demo domains suggest to use? In fact finally my app is just internal using, user will not suppose connect to internet , how can I using the universal linking without a website ? Thanks

I've filed a FB already through standard channels (FB ID: FB19032008) but I'll post it here in case it may get some attention from others experiencing similar issues. On macOS 26 Beta 5 and Xcode 26 Beta 5 (and earlier revisions afaik) Icon Composer specifies a minimum window size that greatly exceeds the bounds of the 1280x800/832pt video modes available on 13in MacBooks, and which also is too large for the default 1440x900 video mode on non-notched 13in MacBook Air/Pro models as this causes a default-size 64pt dock to occlude the window. I've attached screenshots depicting this behaviour in the two above described cases. Best solution seems like reducing min window size to something that will fit reasonably in a 1280x800pt viewport including the dock and menu bar (e.g. 1000x600 or something).

I have a ContentView in my app which includes the line of code FileUploadProgressAttributes. this struct is defined in a file included in the target FileUploadProgressExtension. and it is an ActivityAttributes. in ContentView I imported FileUploadProgressExtension, and the xcode is able to find the FileUploadProgressAttributes during prebuild. but during build, it gives me Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "FileUploadProgressExtension.FileUploadProgressAttributes.init(filename: Swift.String) -> FileUploadProgressExtension.FileUploadProgressAttributes the workaround i found is to add the file with the FileUploadProgressAttributes to my app's target, but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. When Xcode created the extension for me, it added the extension target as a target dependency of my app. so obviously if i added this file to my app target it makes the extension target pointless. First time working with widgets so I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

Hi, I'm using Xcode 15.4. (always export as "Ad Hoc" with automatic signing) and just ran into a weird problem when I tried to run my app with the "play" button on a new iOS 18 iPhone: The build fails every time with the following error message in the "Signing &amp; Capabilities" tab: Device "..." isnt' registered in your developer account. I added the iPhone's UDID to my developer account yesterday but I'm still getting the same error today. There's a "Register Device" button below the error message and when I click it, there are two new errors: There is a problem with the request entity: A device with number '...' already exists on this team. Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: ...." doesn't include the currently selected device "...." (Identifier ...) The "try again" button below the first part doesn't do anything. How do I fix this?

When I try to post a LocationAnnotations of a subclass respect to the one defining variable sceneLocationView, by way of: sceneLocationView.addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: bannerAnnotationLocation) When I enter in: public func addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: LocationNode) { if locationNode.location == nil || locationNode.locationConfirmed == false { return } updatePositionAndScaleOfLocationNode(locationNode: locationNode, initialSetup: true, animated: true) locationNodes.append(locationNode) print(sceneNode?.description ?? "nil") self.sceneNode?.addChildNode(locationNode) } I find sceneNode to nil, like if the effect of the renderer is lost when subclassing. I also tried to create a new variable in the subclass also assigning SceneLocationView(), but sceneNode remains nil. What to do to force it to assume a value?

I created an app that uses the camera function in Xcode, but it says I don't have camera permission. The app only runs once and then won't run again. The log below says "No active account." Is this because my paid account isn't properly reflected in Xcode? In Xcode Settings > Account, I'm logged in my acciunt, with the team set to "my Organization name" and the role set to "admin." However, in Manage Certificates, the Status is blank. It should say "Valid." How can I properly reflect my account in Xcode? Error enumerating all transactions: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=509 "No active account" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No active account}

I have a multi target project where every target relies on a built "web bundle" which is basically a collection of html, optimized images, and optimized javascript. Right now that web bundle is built in a pre build step by running a script. The script takes awhile to run and outputs to a folder that is referenced into the project via a PBXFileReference which is then referenced in the Copy Bundle Resources step. 96516AC22BF928DD00576562 /* build */ = {isa = PBXFileReference; lastKnownFileType = folder; name = build; path = "../web-ui/build"; sourceTree = "<group>"; } .... 96516AC32BF928DD00576562 /* build in Resources */ = {isa = PBXBuildFile; fileRef = 96516AC22BF928DD00576562 /* build */; }; As a step, I wrote an aggregate target that can also run this script. I specified its input and output files and turned off sandboxing. It does exactly what I need it to. Critically it is ran based on dependency analysis. If I modify any file in web-ui it rebuilds, if I dont I can repeatedly build the aggregate target and it will not re-run the script. This is perfect. A97590172E419CBA00741928 /* Build Web Bundle */ = { isa = PBXShellScriptBuildPhase; buildActionMask = 12; files = ( ); inputFileListPaths = ( ); inputPaths = ( "$(SRCROOT)/xcodescripts/build-web-bundle.bash", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/index.html", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/vite-env.d.ts", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/vite.config.ts", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/tsconfig.json", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/stats.html", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/postcss.config.js", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/package.json", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/justfile", "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/src/", ); name = "Build Web Bundle"; outputFileListPaths = ( ); outputPaths = ( "$(SRCROOT)/web-ui/build/", ); runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing = 0; shellPath = /bin/sh; shellScript = "exec \"${SCRIPT_INPUT_FILE_0}\"\n"; }; You may notice I reference a src file. This is made possible via a flag USE_RECURSIVE_SCRIPT_INPUTS_IN_SCRIPT_PHASES which allows Xcode to check folder dependencies recursively. The problem is that my other targets do not automatically recognize that they need to run the "WebBundle" aggregate target in order to update a resource they copy in their "Copy bundle resources" phase. So I tried adding it as a Target Dependency. A9DE685B2E41C9A8005EF4E0 /* PBXTargetDependency */ = { isa = PBXTargetDependency; target = A97590132E419C1200741928 /* WebBundle */; targetProxy = A9DE685A2E41C9A8005EF4E0 /* PBXContainerItemProxy */; }; Unfortunately this breaks whatever magic was allowing the script to be run only when there are web bundle changes. Every build it runs the "Build Web Bundle" script. I think what I am missing is a way to specify in these other targets that a resource they are used to copying from the Xcode PBXFileReference is produced by the aggregate target. This way they can start to reason about the dependencies. Other possibilities are that I should be building the web bundle to a separate location. Or that these references are somehow broken in another way. To be clear the folder format is as thus project/ iOS/ client.xcodeproj web-ui/ build/ (web bundle build is output here and referenced relatively) src/ index.html (and other things)

I can't use Xcode without it crashing. Just writing a very simple iOS app with SwiftUI (using only forms and sections). Whenever my canvas updates to correspond to my changes it forces my Macbook to restart. Does anyone have a solution for this. I'll be honest it's becoming really frustrating. Thank you.

XCode 26 beta 2 is taking more than 20 seconds to start AVCaptureSession when AVCaptureVideoDataOutput and AVCaptureAudioDataOutput are added. The problem occurs only during debugging and is clearly seen with Cinematic Capture sample code by Apple. I am using iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26 beta 2 for reference.
