Hi everyone, Since updating to Xcode 16.1 on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, I’m having issues with my app not launching on my iOS device. The app finishes compiling in Xcode without any errors, but it never appears to launch on the device—it either gets stuck indefinitely or doesn’t show any progress on the device screen. Details of the Issue: Xcode shows that the app is launching, but there’s no progress on the device. Tried on multiple devices with the same result. Troubleshooting Steps I’ve Tried: Cleaned the build folder and deleted derived data. Verified the deployment target matches the device’s iOS version. Checked provisioning profiles and code signing settings. Restarted both Xcode and my device. Tried connecting over both USB and Wi-Fi. Workaround Found: Unpairing the device from Xcode, pairing it again, then turning off Wi-Fi on the device before building allows the app to launch successfully. Has anyone else experienced this with Xcode 16.1? Any tips on a more permanent solution or other troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The iPhone set display and brightness to automatic, the App is placed in the dock column at the bottom of the desktop, and the icon showing the dark mode appears in the light mode. Is this a system problem? device: iPhone 16 pro max system version: 18.2

I am trying to install our latest dev version from Testflight onto our clients phone. The user can't see any screen other than Redeem Code, and there is no code provided in the build email. What is the best way to move past redeem code screen and get a working staging app on the phone? This user is also the account holder/admin.

I'm debugging a change to my share sheet extension, which I published to the App Store several months ago. But I can't run it on my iPhone, attached to my MacBook. I know that I did this when I originally published it but some time has passed. The error that I get is "Failed to install the app on the device. Domain: com.apple.dt.CoreDeviceError Code: 3002 Failure Reason: The provided item to be installed is not of a type that CoreDevice recognizes." Does anyone know what would cause that? tia

Hello; I am using Rad Studio 11.3 software development language. When distributing the application, it works fine with iOS 16.7 iPhone X. I am getting "DeveloperDiskImage.dmg" error on iPhone 14 Pro iOS 18.1 device. The application crashes on the opening screen. At the same time, my HospiTools application in Appstore is distributed and installed with iPhone X 16.7. When we download the application from Appstore, it works fine with iOS 18.1. Thank you.

I am trying to add a picture and a video into my USDZ model to be shown in the final exported USDZ file. Any pointers on how to do that?

I created a PointsOfInterestSearch (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/pointsofinterestsearch) on the frontend using MapKit JS: const poiSearch = new window.mapkit.PointsOfInterestSearch({ center: new mapkit.Coordinate(userLocation.lat, userLocation.lng), radius: 10000, }); poiSearch.search((error, results) => { console.log("Length of poiSearch:", results.places.length); results.places.forEach((place) => { console.log("Name:", place.name); }); }); The length of results.places is 20. Trying it with a bigger radius also still results in 20. The docs for PointsOfInterestSearchResponse shows only a places (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/pointsofinterestsearchresponse) and no options for pagination. How can I paginate the rest of the results?

I'm developing a grocery delivery app using React Native and Expo. The app uses Node.js and MongoDB for the backend APIs. While integrating dashboard APIs, I've noticed a delay in API response times, particularly with the product filtering and sorting features. I'm looking for best practices or tools to optimize API calls in React Native, especially with Expo. Additionally, are there ways to implement efficient caching for repeated queries? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! Trying to move some code into a local package - with Xcode 16 I am unable to move my code to the new package as drag and drop will always result in a copy. This contradicts the demo in the original intro session at WWDC19, and also the current documentation.. Of course I can delete the original files but this feels somewhat wrong... Am I missing something? Did the behaviour of moving files in the Project navigator change in the recent Xcode releases?

hi apple, how long it takes to my account get activated?

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.

I am an individual tryiing to publish my app in apple play store. i have entered all the details and applied for subscription but i havent got any response back. and it still shows pending in account section.

I am developing an access controller RF (NFC). I know that the ADP developer account can only handle NFC Tags. Can I use NFC AID and HCE in ADEP? ADEP supports hotel card keys, employee badges, etc. Is it NFC? Or is it NFC+BLE?

Hello, I’ve been trying for months to access my Apple Developer account, but unfortunately, I keep getting redirected to the "We’ll be back soon" page. I’ve checked the server status, and everything appears to be fine. I’ve also tried common troubleshooting steps like clearing my browser cache, disabling any VPNs, and trying different devices and networks, but none of these solutions have worked. How can I reactivate my account? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Xcode is crashing various extensions on my system, most often the Accessibility extension. It's a pain because it pops up a window - usually while I'm doing something else - that takes up most of the screen and the focus. Am I the only one this is happening to?

Environment: Xcode 16.1 Swift version: 6.0.2 Inside of an Xcode project, if I declare a framework and an application. The framework is mergeable and the application merges the framework by configuring MERGE_BINARY_TYPE to Manual (or automatic it's independent). If SWIFT_VERSION is set to 6.0.X and deployment target is set to iOS 15< the build is going to fail because of this error Duplicate linked dylib '@rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib' in '/Users/**/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GSPackage-dvnngsrgctfovgfbvwdlsscfycyq/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/DummyApp.app/DummyApp.debug.dylib' If I'm checking the generated artifact and inspect all of it's @rpath with otool it's giving me the following: otool -L /Users/****/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Dummy-gbccsjwxeajftsafghxzaqksgfim/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Dummy.app/Dummy.debug.dylib | grep @rpath @rpath/Dummy.debug.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) @rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 0.0.0, weak) @rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 0.0.0, weak) A radar is already opened with the ID: FB15693702

Hi everyone, I'm working on an NFC-related app using CoreNFC with APDU commands to read and write tags. I’ve encountered an issue when trying to handle the scenario where the user cancels the NFC session. Here’s what’s happening: When a user cancels the NFC session manually (e.g., by tapping "Cancel"), I see an error log indicating tagReaderSession|userCancelled. However, when I explicitly call session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No NFC tag found") in my code to handle a scenario where no tag is detected, the session still shows the error as userCancelled instead of my custom error message. This behavior is confusing both in terms of debugging and for providing feedback to users, as I expect my custom message to appear instead of the generic "user cancelled" message. func tagReaderSessionDidBecomeActive(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession) { // Session becomes active } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCTag]) { // Handle tag detection logic } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didInvalidateWithError error: Error) { print("Session invalidated with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } func handleNoTagDetected(session: NFCTagReaderSession) { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No NFC tag found") } I call handleNoTagDetected(session:) explicitly when no tag is detected, expecting the custom error message to show. However, the system still shows the cancellation error. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is this the intended behavior for CoreNFC, or am I missing something in my implementation? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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?
