Github repository issues, no branches showing
I added a workflow and it seemed to work fine so lets add them all ! I added a second workflow and it seems to see the repository but not the branches in the repository. I have googled and even asked AI. Checked and it's installed with all repo access on Github Removing the repo .. adding it back Deleting the workflow and adding it back Adding the workflow from the browser Adding the workflow from XCode Nothing seems to work, but the first one I created works. Is there paid support for Xcode Cloud ? I s there a version control that works better with Xcode Cloud? Any suggestions are appreciated.

About Customizing Xcode Project Navigator UI
Since I have downloaded latest Xcode version I am having Project Navigator in the Menu Style UI and not in the Tab based UI, the one earlier. Also, I am not able to find any options to change Project Navigator style. Please provide user the option to change UI to either Menu based or Tab based Project Navigator UI ( Projects, Source Control, Bookmark, find etc )

Are there known issues with aggressive optimization (-O) affecting third-party libraries?
We are encountering an issue in an iOS application where functionality works correctly in Debug builds but fails in Release builds distributed via TestFlight. Details Debug (No Optimization -Onone): Works correctly Release (Optimize for Speed -O): Fails Release with -Onone: Works, but app size nearly doubles Context The issue is related to integration with the Microsoft ONNX runtime library. It appears that the Swift/Clang compiler is aggressively optimizing certain parts of the code in Release builds, possibly removing or altering required logic. Observations The issue started appearing with recent iOS/Xcode updates. No code changes affecting this logic were made recently. Behavior strongly suggests optimization-related side effects. Questions Are there known issues with aggressive optimization (-O) affecting third-party libraries? Are there recommended flags to selectively disable optimization for specific modules or functions? Any tools or diagnostics to identify what is being optimized out? Temporary Workaround Using -Onone resolves the issue but is not viable for production due to significant increase in app size. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Simulator fails to boot
Im working on my laptop with Mac OS 15.7.5 and Im using Xcode 26.0.1 and Im trying to simulate the code I've written. It only allows me to simulate on iPhone 16e but it never finishes loading, I also tried using my personal iPhone as a simulator but that doesn't work either. Could it possibly be my storage on why the simulators don't work?

I am developing a productivity app called "FocusPact" using the Screen Time API (Family Controls). Current Status: The parent app bundle ID (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) has already been approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. I have recently submitted a new request for the DeviceActivityMonitorExtension bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor. The Issue: Currently, the extension only works while debugging with Xcode (Development entitlement). When the device is disconnected, the intervalWillEndWarning and intervalDidEnd triggers are ignored by the system because the Extension ID lacks the Distribution entitlement. This is a critical blocker for my MVP testing phase on TestFlight, as I cannot verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic in a real-world environment. Request: Could any Apple staff or engineers help expedite the linking of this extension ID to my existing approved entitlement? Parent App ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Extension ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance to resolve this so I can proceed with user testing. Thank you.

Trying to enroll the Dev Program
I'm pretty sure a lot of people had this issue already, I just can't find a concise reply with what I should do. I'm trying to enroll to the developer program, I live in an EU country. It requires me to enter my Driver's License, I also tried my official document as per online recommendation, but it didn't work. I'm legal here, but not a citizen or EU passport holder. I don't know what to do as this is my only official address.

Xcode Cloud accessing Azure Devops repository
Hi, I am attempting to setup Xcode Cloud for my project. The repository for the project is in Azure Devops. When I look on the internet, I get the answer: Go to AppstoreConnect, your app, Xcode Cloud and configure the repo. However, in my version of Xcode I am immediately sent back to Xcode to configure it. When looking in this forum, I see some old Posts from 2022 and 2024 without any answer. I assume I need to pick 'Github Enterprise' as the GIT provider. If I do, It attempts to connect to devops.azure.com, which sounds about right. But then I get a permission error. I would like to configure Xcode Cloud to access Azure Devops using one of the PATs that I have configured. Has anybody been able to Mae this work? Or should I make a Mirror Repo in Github (ir BitBucket or Gitlab) and let Apple connect to that? Kind regards Wouter

Unable to Control Optical Zoom via USB (UVC) in Custom Swift App, While Prebuilt App Works
I’m currently working on a macOS application to control a USB camera’s optical zoom via a direct USB connection. My situation: I am using a USB camera that supports optical zoom. I downloaded an open-source project, CameraController. The prebuilt binary provided on GitHub works perfectly, and I can successfully control the camera’s optical zoom. However, when I build and run the same project from source in Xcode, the zoom control UI appears disabled (grayed out). The project compiles without errors. Additionally, I attempted to implement zoom control myself using the UVC protocol in Swift . However, it seems that the zoom control commands are not successfully sent or recognized by the camera. Questions: Why would the prebuilt app work, but the same source code built locally results in disabled zoom controls? Are there known limitations on sending zoom control requests via USB on macOS? Is there a recommended modern approach for controlling optical zoom programmatically via Swift? Any insights, debugging suggestions, or references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Will Apple Developer support phone number based Apple accounts?
When signing in on the Apple Developer website with the phone number-based account I created when I was setting up my Mac, this error message is shown: Your Apple ID is not eligible to use this application at this time. I've seen other people with this problem and I hope that we will be able to log in using phone number accounts soon. For now, creating a new email-based account seems to be the only solution, but I don't want to do that 😂

Xcode 26.4 is missing the documentation for Foundation
Upgraded to Tahoe 26.4 and Xcode 26.4 and realized Xcode is missing the documentation for Foundation. Occasionally, if other (not yet missing) documentation references a Foundation entity, such as a type, clicking on it may open in a web browser pointing to the externally hosted Apple documentation. Anyone else experiencing this or have a workaround (perhaps the documentation files are on disk but were somehow lost / disconnected from the Xcode doc browser)? I checked the release notes for 26.4 and for 26.3 but did not find a mention of anything like that. Filed an issue with Apple, please do too if you are affected so hopefully it will see some love and lead to restoring the documentation. Edited: found some possibly related files in my ~/Library and the newer version v302 (26.4 related, I think, is considerably smaller): du -sh ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DocumentationCache/* | awk -F/ '{print $NF "\t" $1}' v296 1.0G v302 507M

App Store Version Not Working on iOS 12
I recently released version 8.5.4 (build 188) using Cloud Build. During testing via TestFlight, the app worked correctly on an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.8. However, after the app was published on the App Store, I found that the same version does not open at all on iOS 12 devices. Previously, earlier versions (such as 8.5.3) were functioning properly on iOS 12. My app’s minimum deployment target is set to iOS 12.0. This issue appears only with the App Store version, while the TestFlight version works fine on the same device. Due to this, I have paused the phased release of version 8.5.4 to prevent further impact on users still running iOS 12. I would like guidance on the following: 1. Has there been any recent change or limitation affecting apps targeting iOS 12 on the App Store? 2. Is there a way to prevent iOS 12 users from downloading version 8.5.4 while allowing them to continue using version 8.5.3? 3. Is there any recommended approach to ensure compatibility or restrict distribution based on iOS version? If I had known this issue in advance, I would have adjusted the deployment target accordingly before release. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

XCUITesting Photo Library on macOS
Using XCUITesting to access images using photos picker. The code is roughly like this: photoPickerButton.click() try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2)) let images = app.descendants(matching: .image) .matching(identifier: "PXGGridLayout-Info") // select the first 5 images for ix in 0..<5 { let image = images.element(boundBy: ix) if image.exists { image.click() } } // why do I have to click this twice? Output says the second // click does "Falling back to element center point". app.buttons["Add"].firstMatch.click() app.buttons["Add"].firstMatch.click() Other than the minor annoyance of having to click the Add button twice that works fine. The issue is the second time in the same test I run almost identical code, but only try to select the first image as a test for handling duplicate selections. Doesn't work. The first image returned from the query exists, but is not hittable. This is a testing issue as running the steps manually work fine. The element I want to click is this: Attributes: Image, 0x73511d540, {{1794.0, 745.2}, {98.0, 73.5}}, identifier: 'PXGGridLayout-Info', label: 'February 02, 1:00 PM' Any ideas?

Enrollment issues megathread
A lot of us seem to be having issues with Apple Developer Program enrollment. We paid, and then got stuck. I’ve been waiting 4 days without any response so far, which honestly seems mild compared to some others here. A lot of people are opening separate threads about this, and I’m sure many more are not posting at all. At some point these issues will probably get resolved, and it would be really helpful for others to know how long it actually took. So if your case was resolved, please leave a comment with how long it took and whether you did anything that helped move it forward. Common Patterns: Support is not responsive. Emails often go unanswered. My guess is they’re overwhelmed and heavily delayed. They may eventually get back to you, but don’t expect quick replies. Apple is not very active here either. I couldn’t find any reply from an Apple representative on this issue in the last two weeks. There used to be a phone number people could call, but apparently that is no longer the case. If you call regular Apple Support, they’ll usually tell you they can’t help and that there is no phone support for Developer Program. Enrolling through the website seems to take longer. From what people report, this is because Apple requires identity verification through the app, but for some reason does not make that clear on the website. “Second payment” - if your payment went through successfully, the Apple Developer site may still ask you to pay again. Don’t do it. You may end up paying twice. If you already received an invoice, do not make a second payment. If you already paid and got an invoice, don’t cancel your enrollment just to try again through the app. From what people report, that does not help. Some people report payment failures. If that happens, it may not be your fault. You can try a different payment method, but if it still fails, there’s a good chance the issue is on Apple’s side. Contact support. Some people wait for weeks without any response, so be prepared for that possibility.

Waiting for Review times
I uploaded the first build of a new app, waited a week to get In Review. Then got rejected for a missing piece of metadata. I accidentally checked a box indicating I had age-related content which I don't - so I unchecked it, and replied to app review. A message came back the same day asking me to do what I just told them I did. I replied that I had already followed the required steps. Then just nothing for five days. I have no idea if my review was even progressing - with the status "Waiting for Review" and "Unresolved issues". So I had no choice but to cancel the submission and start over. Having been an iOS developer for more than ten years, App Review times have gotten completely unacceptable - to develop an application and have no idea how many weeks it's going to take to crawl through App Review only to be rejected for some trivial checkbox, and get kicked to the back of the queue.

Xcode always enabling default package traits
Trying out the new package trait support in Xcode 26.4 and it seems like the default traits for the package are being enabled even when explicitly set to disabled. At first I thought it was something wonky in the Xcode UI around the new support for traits. I've been able to replicate the issue with just two Swift packages, so no Xcode UI for setting the traits. Feature package // swift-tools-version: 6.3 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "MyAwesomeFeature", platforms: [ .macOS(.v26) ], products: [ .library( name: "MyAwesomeFeature", targets: ["MyAwesomeFeature"] ) ], traits: [ .trait(name: "SomeBetaFeature"), .default(enabledTraits: ["SomeBetaFeature"]), ], targets: [ .target( name: "MyAwesomeFeature" ), ], swiftLanguageModes: [.v6] ) For the sake of testing I've given it a simple object that just prints if the trait is enabled Inside MyAwesomeFeature public struct SomeObject { func printTraitStatus() { #if SomeBetaFeature print("Beta feature enabled") #else print("Beta feature disabled") #endif } } I then have a second package that depends on the feature and produces an executable // swift-tools-version: 6.3 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "SwiftPackageBasedProgram", platforms: [ .macOS(.v26), ], products: [], dependencies: [ .package(name: "MyAwesomeFeature", path: "../MyAwesomeFeature", traits: []) ], targets: [ .executableTarget( name: "MyAwesomeProgram", dependencies: [ .product(name: "MyAwesomeFeature", package: "MyAwesomeFeature") ] ), ], swiftLanguageModes: [.v6] ) If I run MyAwesomeProgram from the command line with swift run I get the output I would expect Build of product 'MyAwesomeProgram' complete! (6.10s) Inside SwiftPM program Beta feature disabled If I run the same program from within Xcode though Inside SwiftPM program Beta feature enabled Program ended with exit code: 0 I've got the sample project available here if anyone wants to try it out. Has anyone else come across anything like this? Very possible I'm just missing something.

Apple developer account
Hello, it's been 14 days since we applied for an Apple Developer account for our company, and it's still not active. We've sent three emails, but haven't received a single reply. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Xcode 26.4 is missing the documentation for Foundation
Upgraded to Tahoe 26.4 and Xcode 26.4 and realized Xcode is missing the documentation for Foundation. Occasionally, if other (not yet missing) documentation references a Foundation entity, such as a type, clicking on it may open in a web browser pointing to the externally hosted Apple documentation. Anyone else experiencing this or have a workaround (perhaps the documentation files are on disk but were somehow lost / disconnected from the Xcode doc browser)? I checked the release notes for 26.4 and for 26.3 but did not find a mention of anything like that. Filed an issue with Apple, please do too if you are affected so hopefully it will see some love and lead to restoring the documentation. Edited: found some possibly related files in my ~/Library and the newer version v302 (26.4 related, I think, is considerably smaller): du -sh ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DocumentationCache/* | awk -F/ '{print $NF "\t" $1}' v296 1.0G v302 507M

App Store Version Not Working on iOS 12
I recently released version 8.5.4 (build 188) using Cloud Build. During testing via TestFlight, the app worked correctly on an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.8. However, after the app was published on the App Store, I found that the same version does not open at all on iOS 12 devices. Previously, earlier versions (such as 8.5.3) were functioning properly on iOS 12. My app’s minimum deployment target is set to iOS 12.0. This issue appears only with the App Store version, while the TestFlight version works fine on the same device. Due to this, I have paused the phased release of version 8.5.4 to prevent further impact on users still running iOS 12. I would like guidance on the following: 1. Has there been any recent change or limitation affecting apps targeting iOS 12 on the App Store? 2. Is there a way to prevent iOS 12 users from downloading version 8.5.4 while allowing them to continue using version 8.5.3? 3. Is there any recommended approach to ensure compatibility or restrict distribution based on iOS version? If I had known this issue in advance, I would have adjusted the deployment target accordingly before release. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

XCUITesting Photo Library on macOS
Using XCUITesting to access images using photos picker. The code is roughly like this: photoPickerButton.click() try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2)) let images = app.descendants(matching: .image) .matching(identifier: "PXGGridLayout-Info") // select the first 5 images for ix in 0..<5 { let image = images.element(boundBy: ix) if image.exists { image.click() } } // why do I have to click this twice? Output says the second // click does "Falling back to element center point". app.buttons["Add"].firstMatch.click() app.buttons["Add"].firstMatch.click() Other than the minor annoyance of having to click the Add button twice that works fine. The issue is the second time in the same test I run almost identical code, but only try to select the first image as a test for handling duplicate selections. Doesn't work. The first image returned from the query exists, but is not hittable. This is a testing issue as running the steps manually work fine. The element I want to click is this: Attributes: Image, 0x73511d540, {{1794.0, 745.2}, {98.0, 73.5}}, identifier: 'PXGGridLayout-Info', label: 'February 02, 1:00 PM' Any ideas?

Enrollment issues megathread
A lot of us seem to be having issues with Apple Developer Program enrollment. We paid, and then got stuck. I’ve been waiting 4 days without any response so far, which honestly seems mild compared to some others here. A lot of people are opening separate threads about this, and I’m sure many more are not posting at all. At some point these issues will probably get resolved, and it would be really helpful for others to know how long it actually took. So if your case was resolved, please leave a comment with how long it took and whether you did anything that helped move it forward. Common Patterns: Support is not responsive. Emails often go unanswered. My guess is they’re overwhelmed and heavily delayed. They may eventually get back to you, but don’t expect quick replies. Apple is not very active here either. I couldn’t find any reply from an Apple representative on this issue in the last two weeks. There used to be a phone number people could call, but apparently that is no longer the case. If you call regular Apple Support, they’ll usually tell you they can’t help and that there is no phone support for Developer Program. Enrolling through the website seems to take longer. From what people report, this is because Apple requires identity verification through the app, but for some reason does not make that clear on the website. “Second payment” - if your payment went through successfully, the Apple Developer site may still ask you to pay again. Don’t do it. You may end up paying twice. If you already received an invoice, do not make a second payment. If you already paid and got an invoice, don’t cancel your enrollment just to try again through the app. From what people report, that does not help. Some people report payment failures. If that happens, it may not be your fault. You can try a different payment method, but if it still fails, there’s a good chance the issue is on Apple’s side. Contact support. Some people wait for weeks without any response, so be prepared for that possibility.

Waiting for Review times
I uploaded the first build of a new app, waited a week to get In Review. Then got rejected for a missing piece of metadata. I accidentally checked a box indicating I had age-related content which I don't - so I unchecked it, and replied to app review. A message came back the same day asking me to do what I just told them I did. I replied that I had already followed the required steps. Then just nothing for five days. I have no idea if my review was even progressing - with the status "Waiting for Review" and "Unresolved issues". So I had no choice but to cancel the submission and start over. Having been an iOS developer for more than ten years, App Review times have gotten completely unacceptable - to develop an application and have no idea how many weeks it's going to take to crawl through App Review only to be rejected for some trivial checkbox, and get kicked to the back of the queue.

Xcode always enabling default package traits
Trying out the new package trait support in Xcode 26.4 and it seems like the default traits for the package are being enabled even when explicitly set to disabled. At first I thought it was something wonky in the Xcode UI around the new support for traits. I've been able to replicate the issue with just two Swift packages, so no Xcode UI for setting the traits. Feature package // swift-tools-version: 6.3 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "MyAwesomeFeature", platforms: [ .macOS(.v26) ], products: [ .library( name: "MyAwesomeFeature", targets: ["MyAwesomeFeature"] ) ], traits: [ .trait(name: "SomeBetaFeature"), .default(enabledTraits: ["SomeBetaFeature"]), ], targets: [ .target( name: "MyAwesomeFeature" ), ], swiftLanguageModes: [.v6] ) For the sake of testing I've given it a simple object that just prints if the trait is enabled Inside MyAwesomeFeature public struct SomeObject { func printTraitStatus() { #if SomeBetaFeature print("Beta feature enabled") #else print("Beta feature disabled") #endif } } I then have a second package that depends on the feature and produces an executable // swift-tools-version: 6.3 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "SwiftPackageBasedProgram", platforms: [ .macOS(.v26), ], products: [], dependencies: [ .package(name: "MyAwesomeFeature", path: "../MyAwesomeFeature", traits: []) ], targets: [ .executableTarget( name: "MyAwesomeProgram", dependencies: [ .product(name: "MyAwesomeFeature", package: "MyAwesomeFeature") ] ), ], swiftLanguageModes: [.v6] ) If I run MyAwesomeProgram from the command line with swift run I get the output I would expect Build of product 'MyAwesomeProgram' complete! (6.10s) Inside SwiftPM program Beta feature disabled If I run the same program from within Xcode though Inside SwiftPM program Beta feature enabled Program ended with exit code: 0 I've got the sample project available here if anyone wants to try it out. Has anyone else come across anything like this? Very possible I'm just missing something.
