When you try to reset settings through the Apple Vision Pro simulator (VisionOS 2.4) you get an error "Preferences quit unexpectedly". Bug report: FB17666053

On iOS 18.0+ simulators, tap any share link button from any app, select "Save to Files", the "Save" button is disabled. In all previous simulator versions this works. This behavior even happens with default Apple apps like Photos. Simulator: Version 16.0 (1037) XCode: Version 16.1 beta (16B5001e) macOS: 14.6.1 (23G93)

When requesting authorisation to gain access to the user's microphone in the visionOS 2.4 simulator, the simulator crashes upon the user clicking allow. Using Swift 6, code below. Bug Report: FB17667361 @MainActor private func checkMicrophonePermission() async { logger.debug("Checking microphone permissions...") // Get the current permission status let micAuthStatus = AVAudioApplication.shared.recordPermission logger.debug("Current Microphone permission status: \(micAuthStatus.rawValue)") if micAuthStatus == .undetermined { logger.info("Requesting microphone authorization...") // Use structured concurrency to wait for permission result let granted = await withCheckedContinuation { continuation in AVAudioApplication.requestRecordPermission() { allowed in continuation.resume(returning: allowed) } } logger.debug("Received microphone permission result: \(granted)") // Convert to SFSpeechRecognizerAuthorizationStatus for consistency let status: SFSpeechRecognizerAuthorizationStatus = granted ? .authorized : .denied // Handle the authorization status handleAuthorizationStatus(status: status, type: "Microphone") // If granted, configure audio session if granted { do { try await configureAudioSession() } catch { logger.error("Failed to configure audio session after microphone authorization: \(error.localizedDescription)") self.isAvailable = false self.processingError = .audioSessionError(description: "Failed to configure audio session after microphone authorization") } } } else { // Convert to SFSpeechRecognizerAuthorizationStatus for consistency let status: SFSpeechRecognizerAuthorizationStatus = (micAuthStatus == .granted) ? .authorized : .denied handleAuthorizationStatus(status: status, type: "Microphone") // If already granted, configure audio session if micAuthStatus == .granted { do { try await configureAudioSession() } catch { logger.error("Failed to configure audio session for existing microphone authorization: \(error.localizedDescription)") self.isAvailable = false self.processingError = .audioSessionError(description: "Failed to configure audio session for existing microphone authorization") } } } }

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.

I am on MacOs 15.4.1 which is being deployed with an old version of Ruby ruby 2.6.10 and bundler version 1.17.2. I ran pod install after generating the pods with these versions and during the application compilation there have been several issues reported against pods code.

I've updated my computer to Sequoia 15, Xcode 16 and now no matter what I do, I am unable to work with Swift UI previews. I get this error each time I try to run the preview: Failed to launch app in reasonable time I have done: Uninstall/Re-install Xcode Deleted derived data Deleted the simulator data Used DevCleaner to remove all data related to Xcode Searched all websites about this issue. ( Non shown a good solution ) Write this question on here. If anyone has found a solution, please let me know how you fixed it.

Hi, I'm trying to plan some roadmaps out and also have some issues with ios 15.0. Since it's no longer supported by Apple, any word on if/when iOS 15.0 will be removed from the "minimum deployment" version list in Xcode?

I am using SwiftData for my model. Until Xcode 15 beta 4 I did not have issues. Since beta 5 I am receiving the following red warning multiple times: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release This seems to be a CoreData warning. However, I am not using CoreData directly. I have no way to change the config of CoreData as used by SwiftData. My model just uses UUID, Int, String, Double, some of them as optionals or Arrays. I only use one attribute (.unique).

We using below command to run unit test and collect coverage: xcodebuild -workspace Demo.xcworkspace -scheme VideoTests -configuration Debug -derivedDataPath ../build/derivedData -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,id=E6630007-570B-4DEB-A023-2BCE91116A8D' -resultBundlePath './fastlane/test_output/VideoTests.xcresult' -enableCodeCoverage YES -testPlan 'Video' test-without-building | tee '/Users/rcadmin/Library/Logs/scan/VideoTests.log' | xcbeautify -q --is-ci and using xcrun llvm-cov show command to generate coverage report: xcrun llvm-cov show /build/unit-test/coverage/libraries/merged/video.o -instr-profile=/app/ios/build/derivedData/Build//ProfileData/E6630007-570B-4DEB-A023-2BCE91116A8D/video.profdata -show-branches count -show-expansions -show-line-counts -use-color -format=html -output-dir coverage and the html report does not include branch coverage: how to generate the branch coverage?

I am using the latest version of Xcode 16, and I have created a GPX file in my project. However, I am unable to see or select the file to simulate the GPS location. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall Xcode completely, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? How can I resolve this? Thank you.

No, seriously, what's the excuse there? How many apps never got to iOS because of this? I already have a computer I'm happy with, buying a Mac just for code is too much. Yet I really wish I could develop for my iPad, because I love my iPad. So here I am, doing android dev for my phone, hopping someday, I can make iOS dev too.

Yes I know x code only works with macs but my computer recently took water damage and I don’t have money for another Mac so I’m just going to buy a windows for work but if there’s any way to run Xcode with windows I’d like to know please. Thanks in advance

When a new application runs on iOS 18.4 simulator and tries to access the Speech Framework, prompting a request for authorisation to use Speech Recognition, the application will crash if the user clicks allow. Same issue in the visionOS 2.4 simulator. Using Swift 6. Report Identifier: FB17686186 /// Checks speech recognition availability and requests necessary permissions. @MainActor func checkAvailabilityAndPermissions() async { logger.debug("Checking speech recognition availability and permissions...") // 1.

I’ve developed an Apple Watch extension for an existing iOS app. When I run the app on the watch via Xcode using the simulator, everything works fine. However, when I try to install it on my iPhone, the Watch app doesn’t show it in the "Available Apps" list, so I can't install it on the watch. The Apple Watch is connected to my iPhone, and I can see other apps available for installation without any issues. I also created a brand new project with watchOS support to troubleshoot, but the same problem occurred. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

In previous Xcode versions, it was possible to add a folder reference to a project, and in the copy resources build phase it would copy the folder the bundle, rather than the contents (i.e. the folder's contents would be nested inside a directory named after the folder). In Xcode 16.4, when creating a folder reference, the copy resources build phase will copy the contents of the folder to the bundle at the root level (not nested), like the old behavior when creating a group rather than a folder reference. If you look at the raw project.pbxproj file, it shows up as a "File System Synchronized Root Group" rather than a "File Reference". Is there a way to get the old behavior, aside from hand-editing the project.pbxproj file?

Hi, we've getting error when we are building our app with Xcode 15 beta versions and Xcode 15.0 public release. ld: B/BL out of range 156662596 (max +/-128MB) to '' To fix this just add -ld64 to Other Linker Flags in Target.

My app works fine when I load it directly from Xcode to my phone via USB but once I load it to TestFlight the sounds no longer play when the app is not in focus or the phone is locked. I've tried every combination of tools available from the support group and from AI! And I'm out of ideas.

I have a major problem with team membership and Xcode. I work in a company, where my apple account was added to the development team with app manager role. I can see that on the apple portal, everything seems fine there. I have been also provided with the provisioning profile for the project and signing certificate of the company. However, when I log into Xcode the team does not show up anywhere. I am able to build the app, but cannot distribute to TestFlight (or anywhere else). When I use manual signing to choose the signing certificate it shows the "unknown team" message next to it. When I check my account in xcode it also only shows my personal team and does not allow to pick any other one (doesn't show any other one). When I click the "+" button on my xcode account to add a certificate an error pops up: "You already have active certificate or a pending request". I do have a pending request to enroll into apple developers program, but everyone says you don't need one if you are added to the team, you can just operate as a team member. Finally, when trying to upload to TestFlight, the following error is displayed: "No team for account ***" I have tried deleting and re-adding all the certificates. I have tried logging in and out of Xcode, I have tried deleting and re-adding my account in Xcode. I have tried reloading everything. My account was deleted and re-added to developers team. Nothing worked. I don't know the source of the issue, nor does my employer. I am new to ios development and this is my first project. Please help!

HI, I upgraded to macos 15.5 and xcode 16.3. Last year I was able to update one of my apps on the App Store without issues. Today, after a successful Testflight test, I now need to submit a new version of my app to the App Store for Distribution as the next version/build. However, when I configure a manual setting for the signing, I can select the correct choices. But when I click automatically manage signing, and choose the correct team, xcode put in the wrong signing certificate. It is choose a development one, and not the distribution one. I am concerned about this since I have read that when using the Archive tool, it choses the automatically manage signing by default. And that check box is selecting the "default" settings. I do not know where these default settings are being set, or how to fix this issue. I do not see any info in my searching up to this point. I hope someone can help. thank you, cc

I recently switched to Mac OS 12 and XCode 13. I did some work on my application and rebuilt it. Now there is no Help Book. I didn't change the property lists and everything looks right. When I open the Help Book the application either opens a window with a message that the content is currently unavailable or it opens a Help Book window with no content. When this second thing happens the log window shows "entering AHRegistered help Book" but it doesn't appear. Does anyone have any suggestions?
