App is crashing when using "withCheckedContinuation" in Xcode 15 beta 5
We are experiencing an issue with withCheckedContinuation in our Swift project. Our implementation was working perfectly in a previous version of Xcode and continues to work in the simulator. However, it fails to work on a real device. Here’s a brief description of the problem: • Environment: - Xcode Version: Xcode 16.0 Beta 5 - Swift Version: Swift 5 - OS: IOS18 beta 5 • Problem: The code using withCheckedContinuation behaves as expected in the simulator but fails on a physical device. We are receiving a “bad access to memory” error when running on a real device. • What We’ve Tried: 1. Verified that the code works in previous Xcode versions. 2. Tested on different simulators, where it runs without issues. 3. Checked for any obvious errors in memory handling or threading. Code Example: Here’s a simplified version of the problematic code: var body: some View { VStack { Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .onAppear { Task { await self.checkTrialOrIntroductoryDiscountEligibilityAsync() } } } func checkTrialOrIntroductoryDiscountEligibilityAsync() async { return await withCheckedContinuation { continuation in checkTrialOrIntroDiscountEligibility() { continuation.resume() } } } func checkTrialOrIntroDiscountEligibility(completion: () -> Void) { completion() } }

Apple Watch Missing Developer Mode Option
I have an iPhone 14 running iOS 16.1 and my series 5 watch running watchOS 9.1. I was able to turn on Developer Mode on the phone by going to Settings--> Privacy & Security --> Developer Mode. On the watch however (I'm doing this directly on the watch and not on the watch app on the phone) once I'm in Privacy & Security, there is no option to select Developer Mode. How do I get my watch in Developer Mode in order to get a successful build in xCode?

macOS 15.1 Beta 5: Mac App Store unable to install apps "The file “preflight.pfpkg” doesn’t exist"
Hello everyone, Ever since installing macOS 15.1 beta 5 on this M1 13’’ MacBook Pro, I have been unable to install or update any application from the Mac App Store. I keep getting the following error: “The file “preflight.pfpkg” doesn’t exist.””. The same machine was fine with 15.0 Sequoia and the problem happens regardless of the region setting of the machine. The machine has at least 148 GB of free disk space on the SSD. The same app I was trying to install from the MAS app I could install from the provider’s website (WhatsApp in this case, but I have tried with other apps too). Has anyone noticed it before? Raised the following Feedback ID if it can help: FB15296904 Kind Regards, Goffredo

ASWebAuthenticationSession issue on iOS 18 simulator
We have some third-party SDKs do not support arm64 simulator, so we excluded arm64 for Any iOS Simulator SDK in Excluded Architectures. But in this case, ASWebAuthenticationSession will display abnormally. We submitted FB14853757 during the beta period, but have not received any response. This issue still exists in the official version. I hope it can be resolved. Thank you!

ChatGPT in Xcode 26 not recognizing Plus subscription
Hi all, Has anyone else run into this issue in Xcode 26? I’m logged into my paid ChatGPT Plus account, but the Xcode integration doesn’t seem to recognize the subscription. After a short period of use, I get the following error: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account.” Since I’m already signed in with a paid account, this looks like either a bug or a limitation specific to Xcode. Is this expected behavior, or has anyone found a workaround to make Xcode properly recognize Plus accounts? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Custom font doesn't appear in Interface Builder
I installed a custom font (Font awesome) into my app. I triple checked that I did everything right: the font files are included in the bundle (they appear in the "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase) and the names of the fonts appear in the Info.plist file under "Fonts provided by application". In Interface builder, I select a Label, set the font to "Custom", then I click the Family list to select the font I want. Once or twice, I was actually able to see the Font Awesome fonts in this list and select one. However, they no longer appear there when I create new labels in new views. I do not understand why. I've been limping along by copying a label from one of the views where it worked and pasting it into the new view, but this is tiresome. I know the fonts are installed correctly because I can see them when I run the app. Why are the fonts not showing up on the font list in interface builder?

Best Practices: Dependency management for local packages
I have a project which contains local packages. One of the packages has an explicit dependency on package A, but the main project also has the same dependency. Both of them are pinned to the exact version at all times. Should I manage "shared" dependencies at the project level for local packages? This seems counter intuitive at first, but this question is originating from me fighting with a "Build service could not create build operation: unable to load transferred PIF: The workspace contains multiple references with the same GUID" error in Xcode 16 (all versions). It happens when I switch branches. Closing and reopening Xcode does resolve the issue, but it's a real flow killer. The guide below doesn't mention dependency graph best practice. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/organizing-your-code-with-local-packages Thank in advance.

Xcode16 missing dSYM in Firebase
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. (ref:https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/14054#issuecomment-2477235548) This is related to: Firebase Issue

PreviewShell crashes and breaks the preview canvas
Since the first beta of Xcode 16, randomly when editing a SwiftUI view a crash report opens with the message "PreviewShell quit unexpectedly." After that, annoyingly often the canvas fails to reload correctly, and shows this broken thing: The only way to get it working again is to restart Xcode, but it happens so often that it really impacts productivity. Does this happen to anyone else? If so, have you found a solution? I've already filed a report (FB14876223)

AccessibilityControlsExtension crash on Simulator
Hi there, when I run any app on the Xcode 16/16.1 with iOS/tvOS 18/18.1, it generates a crash on the AccessibilityControlsExtension process. 0x1048b8000 - 0x10493bfff dyld (*) <6beafde4-b011-3e47-8aae-4d7b6e4bb7e8> /usr/lib/dyld 0x1047fc000 - 0x104803fff com.apple.AccessibilityUIServer.AccessibilityControlsExtension (1.0) <a67e159b-253d-306c-b6fb-dd3fec38bd0f> /Volumes/VOLUME/*/AccessibilityUIServer.app/PlugIns/AccessibilityControlsExtension.appex/AccessibilityControlsExtension If run in Catalist mode - there are no crash reports. I also made a clean install of macOS 15.1 + Xcode and received that error again. Device: Mac15,13 Any suggestions on how to fix it? Full crash log in attach. AccessibilityControlsExtension-crash.log

Xcode 16.3 Doesn't Remember Preview Pane Width
It seems like, by default, the preview pane tries to align to 50% of the editor pane's width. I prefer to shrink the preview pane to around ~30% of the screen so I have more space for code. This used to work fine—at least until I restarted Xcode. I never understood why the setting wouldn’t persist across sessions, but fine, that was a tradeoff I was willing to live with. However, with Xcode 16.3, it seems like Xcode forgets the manually adjusted preview pane width as soon as I switch to a different file. This has definitely impacted my productivity, as I now find myself readjusting the pane size dozens of times in a single session. Am I holding it wrong? Is anyone else experiencing this? And while we’re at it—why not make this a persistent setting so everyone can tweak the width to their liking?

Intelligence Features not available in Xcode 26 beta 1
At the Platform State of the Union, Apple demoed clicking a ✨ button in the Xcode toolbar to use Apple Intelligence in Xcode. I don't see that button in Xcode Version 26.0 beta (17A5241e). Am I missing it? It's supposed to be in the upper-left corner, right? Do I need to turn it on or something? I'm on macOS 15.5 Sequoia, on a 16-inch, 2021 MacBook Pro

Slow incremental build times with xcodebuild command
When I compile my Xcode project using the xcodebuild command, I observe long incremental build durations. For example, compiling a new, empty project in Xcode only takes around one second. The same project takes 7 seconds to compile using the xcodebuild command. I've noticed that xcodebuild hangs at the "GatherProvisioningInputs" phase. Steps to Reproduce: Create a new Xcode project (iOS app template) Build the project in Xcode with timing summary enabled Build the same project from the command line with the following command: time xcodebuild -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15 Pro,OS=latest' I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to improve the build times when using the xcodebuild command. Thank you in advance for your help!

Resetting iPhone Mirroring credentials
I had iPhone Mirroring in MacOS 15 working, but something glitched on my iPhone and I had to perform a "Reset All Settings" and now I can no longer connect to my iPhone. I assume that some key has been cached when I connected initially, but I can't figure out how to reset the connection. Does anybody have any suggestion as to how to reset the connection?
