My app relies on two-finger tap for some interactions. This was easy in the old simulator by holding down option while clicking. Is there an equivalent interaction in Device Hub? (Option-click no longer seems to work.) If not, will this be added back in a future beta?

The compiled size of my app (DerivedData/*/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/AppName.app) jumped 200 MB (926 MB-> 1.12 GB) just by compiling with Xcode 27 beta 2 (currently the latest). I can compile with Xcode 27, but when I run it on a simulator it crashes on launch. I get the same type of crash when running my unit tests. I'm getting a lot of warnings in the debug console about "Class X is implemented in both". I asked Claude to analyze the .app files to find the difference. Yes, I have a lot of internal and external packages/frameworks. Xcode26 ships 128 frameworks including 14 *_PackageProduct.framework dynamic frameworks (Logger_…, APICore_…, SplitManager_…, Apollo_…, PerModel_…, AppGateway_…, etc.). Xcode 27 ships 114 — all 14 of those dynamic package frameworks are gone. Xcode 27 changed the default and now links those SPM package products statically into every framework that consumes them. Counting framework binaries that carry their own copy of a package's Swift type metadata: ┌──────────────┬────────────┬─────────────┐ │ Package │ Xcode 26 │ Xcode 27 b2 │ ├──────────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤ │ Logger │ 12 │ 79 │ ├──────────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤ │ APICore │ 3 │ 45 │ ├──────────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤ │ SplitManager │ 1 │ 20 │ ├──────────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤ │ PerModel │ 1 │ 24 │ ├──────────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤ │ AppGateway │ 1 │ 20 │ └──────────────┴────────────┴─────────────┘ 79 copies of Logger's types instead of 1. That's the runtime problem: duplicate Swift type metadata / Objective-C class registration → "Class … is implemented in both …, one of the two will be used" and, when type identity or singletons matter, crashes. It hits unit tests hardest because the test bundle re-links the same static package that the host app's frameworks already contain. I worked on it a bit trying to switch my packages and frameworks to load dynamically. But that only gets so far as 3rd party packages like Apollo (for GraphQL) don't ship a dynamic version of ApolloTestSupport. I really don't like forking 3rd party packages. I tried changing my packages to explicitly load dynamically like this. That got me to the point that I could run on a simulator. But I was unable to get to the point that I could run all my unit tests without crashing on launch. And the code that runs on a simulator crashes on a device complaining about missing packages. products: [ .library( name: "AppGateway", + type: .dynamic, targets: ["AppGateway"]), ], Something is really different in Xcode 27 with the way it links packages and creates my app - a linker bug? I don't know if there is an ancient build setting that might be triggering this? Our app is really old. v1 was created in 2010. We just recently moved to a SceneUI delegate setup. I really don't know what would be a good next step for me to figure this one out. I am happy to use a DTS or create a Feedback if I thought it would help me get forward progress on this? Help?

I signed in to Xcode using my Anthropic credentials. When I attempt to start a new conversation the text box is not enabled and I see a message related to Codex..

Hello, I’m using the latest version of Xcode, 26.6. I’m unable to permanently delete old installed iOS platform versions. I remove them from Xcode settings, and the deletion appears to complete successfully, but after rebooting my Mac they appear again, as if nothing had changed. Do you have any suggestions for how to remove them correctly and permanently?

Hi Devs, I'm working with WatchOS for the first time and am having a frustrating time with Xcode to Watch, to say the least. I have a Series 9 dev watch and Xcode does not reliably connect to it. Spending 15-20 min per build/run attempt just trying to get xcode to find and connect to the watch. It WILL sometimes recognize and allow a build to run, the issue is I can't tell any reliable way to establish the connection. It drops after every build and leaves me at square zero. Current solution is some amount of force quitting, reconnecting iPhone to USBC, disconnecting watch to wifi and back on. Devices Window usually reads: Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.; Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters - swapping to some attempting to connect state that never (reliably resolves). Is this why no one builds for WatchOS? Hoping someone has pro tips on this.

I'm trying out Xcode 12 (beta) and encountered an issue with TextField when viewing it in a live Preview. Although the view is interactive (scrolling vertically seems to be OK) and a cursor appears in the TextField view when it is clicked on, keyboard input is ignored. The same code works as expected in Xcode 11.5. Simulator in both 11.5 and 12 exhibits expected behaviour. Is this a bug? I know there is an issue with interactivity in Preview with multiple views inside PreviewProvider but I'd assumed this is if you'd added multiple Views to the same body of this struct.

AI agentic coding is great, but it drifts away from the good practices and good code. Sometimes I am writing code while thinking what exactly to write, exploring the architecture solution, the data flow, not the technology, so making a prompt is not the best use case. I am doing iOS development in VSCode since preview version of Copilot launched, the auto-completions that AI provides IS the greatest tool a developer can have Please 🙏 prioritize the unimaginable good auto-completion that only Apple can provide, so that we can auto-complete function implementation, class implementation, multiple lines of comments in a fraction of a second

I know Xcode 27 is in beta but it appears that in Device Hub you can no longer drag and drop enterprise security certificates onto the simulators like you could in Xcode 26 (and earlier) simulators. I did put in a feedback request in (FB23369006) but I was wondering if anyone found a workaround. This hampers testing for enterprise users who don't have a physical device to test on.

After adding the Mockable package to a project that already used swift-dependencies and updating to Xcode 26.6, my release/archive builds got ~2 min slower because swift-syntax was being recompiled from source every time. Thorougly investigating and fixing this took about 3 hours and I thought I'd share my findings for the next person encountering such an issue: Findings: I confirmed the prebuilt swift-syntax is used for swift-syntax 603.0.2 in Xcode 26.6 when building a package separately (I suspect dependencies to older versions might cause issues, but didn't fully investigate this) It can be checked if the prebuilt version of swift-syntax is used via the build log. If working correctly/using the prebuild version, swift-syntax isn't mentioned at all. One package resolved to swift-syntax 600.x, this would trigger a build of swift-syntax. After updating the dependencies it worked fine. Even if the version in the xcodeproj resolves to a confirmed-working version of swift-syntax, it seems other packages might trigger the swift-syntax build under the hood. Opened the packages individually and built separately with Build for » Profiling to investigate. In my case, another issue was triggering the problem: The swift-snapshot-testing open source package declared a swift-syntax dependency although it didn't actually use it. That caused swift-syntax being built (not sure why, maybe Xcode thinks it's a non-macro usage of swift-syntax?) Creating a fork of the package and removing the dependency fixed the issue. After both fixes, in the full project, a Product → Clean Build Folder + restart Xcode was required before swift-syntax stopped being rebuilt.

When I try to enroll Apple Developer Program for a company, getting an error. "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." Please, help me. What am i doing wrong?

Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep receiving this error: "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." I have already tried using different Apple ID accounts, different devices, different browsers, clearing cache/cookies, and different internet connections, but the error still appears. Could you please tell me what is causing this issue and how I can fix it? If needed, I can provide any required documents or verification information. Thank you.

Hi Has anybody had problems setting up a Developer account and setting their location as Guernsey, Channel Islands? I have spent a couple of months developing an app but when I went to create my Developer account Apple won’t accept my Drivers License ID. I have contacted them but for over a month I just get stock answers like this each time I contact them. ”Thank you for your interest in the Apple Developer Program. This is Vivian, senior Advisor with Developer Support. I hope this message finds you well. We're currently reviewing your inquiry and will reply to you as soon as an update is available. “

Hi,My itunes connect keeps telling me that I need to accept the updated license agreement and review the new paid applications schedule. When I go to my developer account, I don't see anywhere that I can accept any agreement. When I go to Agreements, taxes, and banking in itunes connect I don't see anything that can be done there either. I am the only user on my account.Please help 😟

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.

We need help to structure our project to start using apple standard way to create Xcode project. let me first express how currently we are creating Xcode project. As of today, we are using CMake to generate our xcode project which we can open in XCODE IDE and build/debug/run/etc. XCode IDE can open those project but we notice that some build setting does not seem to have correct value while looking into XCODE IDE but it somehow builds. There are some other issues also. Along with those issues, we also could not share this xcodeproject generated via CMake to AppleDTS support team as Apple does not support project created via some third party tool (like CMake or others). Let me also express why we decided to use CMake at first place to generate Xcode projects. Our project is layered architecture project where in upper layers uses lower layer artifacts. Each layer has its own set of build targets . And each layer can have both C++ and Swift files. And each layer would have most of the compiler flag common, but we could also have compiler flag specific to each layer also. To achieve all these, we have developed our own tool, which basically creates CMakeLists.txt (for project model- all targets, dependency, etc) and CMakePresets.json (for all compiler and linker flags). Now this tool scans through repos/source folders on each layer and then creates these files (CMakeLists.txt and CMakePresets.json). This tool uses inputs to decide compiler/linker/other properties from one centralized location. Which means every developer would use these same input files and thus they all can have same compiler/linker/other properties set consistent. This makes generated build system consistent on all developer machine and it allows confidence of saying if build works on one developer's machine would also work on other developer’s machine and if build does NOT work on one developer's machine, it would NOT work on other developer’s machine also. So, it’s consistent. That was the main reason to use CMake to generate xcode project. So, our internal tools creates meta data for CMake (which is CMakeLists and CMakePresets) and then CMake generates Xcode build system using XCode generator. Now we want to move to xcode native way to create projects but at the same time we also want this consistency that each of my developer would use exact same compiler/linker/other properties. If we ask developer to use XCode IDE to create xcode project, we cannot guarantee that they all will use same compiler/linker/etc flags and thus we would end up having inconsistent behaviour on different developer machines. We need your help to figure out how we can achive this ? We read some ways that we can create some template project and then we can create some .xcconfig files and use them to set target properties but honestly, we are able to stich them together. So please help us directionally on this , how should we proceed ? Basically we need to know how can we have all my developer use same xcodeproject. I was also thinking how would I be setting my CI for apple builds if I have to use XCode IDE to create xcode project and since CI environments are non interactive and it can happen n number of times in day (if I have setup to run sanity for all Pull Requests). Any help/direction on this is highly appreciated.

I set up Gemini in Xcode 27 beta in Settings using an API key from Google AI studio. When I select "New Conversation" and "Gemini" and type "hi" it just spins forever (many minutes) - no reply or error message. Is there any way to figure out what's wrong?

Hi, I'm trying to run our StoreKit unit tests with Xcode26.5 on an iOS26.5 simulator. Host computer has macOS26.5. All tests are failing and in the console I see logs such as [SKTestSession] Error saving configuration file: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error deleting all transactions: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error clearing overrides: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error setting value to 1 for identifier 2 for jp.unext.mediaplayer: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" And the simulator asks me to provide my AppleID. Tests have been broken since at least 26.4 The release notes claims that it has been fixed but not for me. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26_5-release-notes#StoreKit-Testing-in-Xcode Does anyone else have the same issue? Reported FB22774836 just in case.

Apple M1 Pro, 26.5.1 (25F80) XCode 27.0 Beta (27A5194q) Command Line tools for Xcode 27 are installed. Device Hub Version 27.0 (235.4.2) Within device hub I can not create iOS 27 simulators. Only the 26.5 simulators are listed there. I installed the iOS 27.0 SDK. Also deleted and reinstalled it. The computer was restarted. No change. I am unable to create the proper iOS 27 Simulators. Any idea why this is not working? Thanks for the help upfront.
