After updating Xcode my app stoped running on real device

I'm on version 16 of simulator and Xcode. Last Friday, starting the simulator would take 10 seconds at the most. Now, it takes at least 10 minutes. My app target is the same and nothing in my app itself has changed. There's no new software installed and it has plenty of RAM and disk. When I target my phone, it is instant. So I'm testing / debugging everything on my phone now. When I use the simulator, the initial load is about 10 minutes, then it's fine (using the app itself). But something is causing it to hang when loading. And like I said - last week it was fine. If it was slow when running on my phone, I'd think it was something with me/the app. But it's not. This is the only messages I get in the system log.

Hi, I am in the last step "preparing for submission" and everything excepts "age rating" is fine. How can I fix this? I have two apps and on neither i can edit "age rating" :(

I can’t view energy reports in the Xcode Organizer. I keep getting the message “An error occurred while downloading energy reports. Please provide a valid value” Feedback ID: FB16595567

I have enabled Code Review with the button and then String Catalog turned up to code view anyways i can't get it back to original view. Disable Code Review button doesn't do anything. Any idea?

I just made clean data on simulator then started getting the below error built on Xcode ? Showing Recent Issues Entitlements file "Clinic.entitlements" was modified during the build, which is not supported. You can disable this error by setting 'CODE_SIGN_ALLOW_ENTITLEMENTS_MODIFICATION' to 'YES', however this may cause the built product's code signature or provisioning profile to contain incorrect entitlements.

NSTimer keeps a strong reference of a ViewController, but in Xcode Memory graph debugger it shows it as a weak reference ( i.e by a non-darker line ). is this expected or a bug? Context : I was fixing a memory leak issue, where the Timer inside the View controller was Not invalidated properly ( In turn Not allowing my view controller to get deallocated, even after being dismissed ). So, when I invalidated the timer, View controller also got properly deallocated. which means Timer was indeed keeping a strong reference! Then why is it showing as a weak reference in the Xcode Debug Memory graph?

in Project/Package Dependencies, some problem occurs while i add Exact Version value like '1.1.0-0fec058'. the finally value i input will be random updated to 1.0.0 or other value. Reproduce by input any version value like '1.2.0-"0"' which second part begin with 0. So bad experience.

I'm new to Xcode and decided to give it a try, however, I'm unable to preview even the default "hello, world" message. I've tried downloading Xcode on the App Store on Mac and from the official website, but I couldn't go pass the "Preparing (Automatic) iPhone Simulator." I've also tried the following line of code on Terminal, but nada: xcrun simctl erase all Here's what I see for almost two hours now (it makes no sense): My system specs: iMac Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019, 3 GHz Intel Core i5 6-Core, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 (two 4gb core each), 1TB SSD. I've coded way bigger web projects using various applications, but Xcode can't even preview the sample file? Please, help. I would really like to code using Swift. :)

A while ago, perhaps early in v16, Xcode stopped tracking file liveness. I'd hoped the regression would be fixed, but... not yet. Is there some setting I'm missing? Is this from underlying filesystem limits? or from working with swift packages? Conversely, if/since this is a regression, is this the new normal, and not to be fixed (e.g., because the modern build system cannot be retrofitted to detect and update stale resources)? Assuming I create a Swift package and open it in Xcode... 1. New files I expect to get errors when I create a new swift file, add bad code, and build. Instead, the file doesn't seem to be added to the build. If I try to use Add Files to "{project}".. menu, the file is disabled for selection. A workaround is to close and re-open the project 2. Files updated extrinsically If outside Xcode I format the files in the package or edit them, I expect Xcode to notice and either 1) update with the new contents if there were no changes, or 2) ask what to do if there were changes. Instead, Xcode proceeds oblivious to the underlying changes. It is not a workaround to use Integrate/Refresh file status menu for SCM status. Again, a workaround is to close and re-open the project. Possible factors Swift package projects, if resource tracking is tied to metadata unused in package projects? External filesystem: these are on APFS volumes mounted via TB-4 and USB-3 Pilot error? Impact This leads me to re-open projects 10's of times a day, to create test files or maintain lint. Also, because I have to drop out of Xcode to process files before checking in, I end up using an external git workflow/UI. Also, because Xcode is not particularly extensible, I've written external tools for analyzing and generating Swift, hosted via CLI or eclipse (which support resource markers for UI navigation). I use Swift LSP in Eclipse for analysis and git-driven changes, and end up coding there because well, I'm already there. I'd take slower builds over this continuous hassle and context-switching in a heartbeat.

I am creating an imessage sticker pack and I am having an issue with an update of my app. It publishes to test flight but I can't download it to test. My app has an extension of imessage. I have tried: Checking the size of the animated stickers. All are below 500kb My version number is 4.1.1. so no 0 I am really no sure what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a SwiftUI RealityKit app, and I am writing UI tests for it. The app has entities that have children. All entities have an accessibilityComponent so that they can be found by UI tests. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent, the UI tests find the parent. If I set isAccessibilityElement = false for the parent, and isAccessibilityElement = true for the child, the UI tests find the child. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent as well as for the child, the UI tests find only the parent. How can I make parent and child entities both be accessible by the UI tests?

Trying to use SwiftUI Preview in Xcode 16.2 on complex project, I have no access to Developer Apple team, instead I am using manually installed provision profiles to test on iPhone. So, SwiftUI Preview does not work with diagnostic error "Failure: Framework Agent preparation failed: Could not find a team ID"

Hi, You're here because your project has issues related to Xcode Previews or Swift Previews. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of any of the following: An error in your SwiftUI app, Xcode previews, or on-device previews. A configuration error in your Xcode project, including any third-party dependencies or packages. A system issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, or in Xcode Previews. Based on your request, I need more information about your SwiftUI app when rendering Xcode Previews or on-device previews. Specifically, I’ll need the diagnostics Swift Previews generates to make sure I understand the error encountered by the preview system. Please create a report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested in the instructions below. For issues with macOS, Mac Catalyst, on-device iOS, or on-device visionOS previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics: Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device. Reproduce the error while previewing on device, taking note of the timestamp when the error occurred. Attach the Previews diagnostics, sysdiagnose from your Mac, a sysdiagnose from the previewing iOS or visionOS device. For issues with Xcode Previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics: Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device. Reproduce the error in Xcode Previews, if you haven’t already done so. If an error banner appears in the canvas, click the "Diagnostics" button within the banner, then go to Step 5; otherwise, continue to Step 4. If the error banner is missing, navigate to the menu in Xcode: Editor > Canvas > Diagnostics In the presented sheet, click the "Generate Report" button. Attach a zip file containing the diagnostic report to your bug report (it will be named something like previews-diagnostics-0123456789.zip). Submitting your feedback Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the following information is included in your feedback: with the Swift Previews logging profile installed, attach the sysdiagnose logs gathered after reproducing the issue the Previews diagnostics generated by Xcode timestamp identifying when the issue was reproduced focused sample Xcode project that reproduces the issue (if applicable) screenshots or videos of the error (optional) Please include all requested information to prevent delays in my investigation. After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond to your original Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your SwiftUI app, a configuration issue within your Xcode project, or an underlying issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, in Xcode Previews, or on-device previews.

I'm working with CBConnectPeripheralOptionNotifyOnConnectionKey, and my understanding is that it should trigger an alert when a reconnection occurs while the central app is in the background. To test this, I've set up two separate iPhone devices—one acting as the peripheral and the other as the central. The process I'm using is as follows: The central app connects to the peripheral app. I then switch to a different app on the central device, which causes the central app to go into the background. I manually disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth on the central device, which should trigger the peripheral app to reestablish the connection. However, despite the central app being in the background, I don't see the expected alert on the central side. The connection reestablishes correctly, but no alert appears. I would appreciate any insights on what might be causing this issue or if I'm misunderstanding the behavior of CBConnectPeripheralOptionNotifyOnConnectionKey. I'd be happy to provide more specific code or logs if needed. Thanks in advance! I’m relatively new to Core Bluetooth and feel like I’ve explored most of the options, but I’m still encountering this issue.

From last week all crash for watchOS has been broken. The latest version 15.22.1 missing all stack trace and showing weird as attached. All the crashes for previous versions totally disappeared.

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.

I wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue. We are trying to update our app, but on XCode, there is this error message showing: Team: Unknown Name (Code). There is a check in "Automatically Manage Signing". Normally, Apple provides this information to XCode automatically but this time it seems like it's either not sending it or not receiving it. If anyone knows what is happening here, any suggestion/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I'm testing my App and the preview in Xcode keeps refreezing by itself preventing me from testing my code. It refreshes about once a second despite me not doing anything. Any ideas? Thank you!

Since dragImage: is deprecated I am trying to update drag and drop with beginDraggingSessionWithItems:. Drag work fine but I cannot get drop to work correctly. In the code below change #ifndef to #ifdef (using dragImage:) make drop work as expected. draggingEntered, draggingUpdated, draggingExited, draggingEnded are all called but NOT performDragOperation (which do the drop). Uncommenting the line [pb_item pasteboard:paste_board provideDataForType:@"LN_PboardType"]; cause an exceptionPreprocess: -[NSPasteboardItem pasteboard:provideDataForType:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600001e64240. I also try add NSDraggingDestination, NSItemProviderWriting, NSPasteboardTypeOwner to @interface line without success. What I am doing wrong ? Any other method to do Drag and Drop (other than dragImage: and beginDraggingSessionWithItems:) ? Where can I found an Obj-C project using beginDraggingSessionWithItems: for drag an drop ? ``@interface Enclosure : NSView <NSDraggingSource, NSPasteboardItemDataProvider> - (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (self) { [super setAutoresizesSubviews:YES]; [self registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil]]; } return self; } - (BOOL)acceptsFirstMouse:(NSEvent *)event { return YES; } - (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)drag_event { NSImage *drag_image; NSPoint drag_position; NSRect dragging_rect; NSPasteboard *paste_board; NSDraggingItem *drag_item; NSArray *items_array; NSPasteboardItem *pb_item; paste_board = [NSPasteboard pasteboardWithName:@"LN_PboardType"]; [paste_board declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil] owner:self]; pb_item = [[NSPasteboardItem alloc] init]; [pb_item setDataProvider:self forTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil]]; // [pb_item pasteboard:paste_board provideDataForType:@"LN_PboardType"]; drag_image = [ [NSImage imageNamed:@"drag.jpg"]; drag_position = [self convertPoint:[drag_event locationInWindow] fromView:nil]; drag_position.x -= drag_image.size.width/2; drag_position.y -= drag_image.size.height/2; #ifndef DEPRECATED [self dragImage:drag_image at:drag_position offset:NSZeroSize event:drag_event pasteboard:paste_board source:self slideBack:YES]; #else drag_item = [[NSDraggingItem alloc] initWithPasteboardWriter:pb_item]; dragging_rect = NSMakeRect(drag_position.x, drag_position.y, drag_image.size.width, drag_image.size.height); [drag_item setDraggingFrame:dragging_rect contents:drag_image]; items_array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:drag_item]; [self beginDraggingSessionWithItems:items_array event:drag_event source:(id)self]; #endif } - (NSDragOperation)draggingSession:(NSDraggingSession *)session sourceOperationMaskForDraggingContext:(NSDraggingContext)context { if (disable_drag_and_drop) return NSDragOperationNone; switch (context) { case NSDraggingContextWithinApplication: return NSDragOperationCopy; case NSDraggingContextOutsideApplication: return NSDragOperationMove; } return NSDragOperationNone; } …``
