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.

I am constantly reaching my daily ChatGPT limit and even though it's recommending that I log in, I already am. What can I do to fix this?

After combing the forums and release nodes, here are some extra notes to help other developers using Apple-Hosted Background Assets. I don't promise I got this perfect, but it may help direct you. AssetPack.Status is an OptionSet (not an enum!) - Critical API detail missing from guide It's a bitmask where values can be combined 2⁰ (1) = available to download 2¹ (2) = update available 2² (4) = up to date 2⁶ (64) = downloaded Example: status value 69 = 0b1000101 = available + up to date + downloaded Use .contains() method to check specific flags AssetPack.version property - Undocumented feature Auto-assigned by App Store Connect for Apple-hosted packs Increments with each upload of same asset pack ID No file deduplication across asset packs Same file in two packs = counts twice toward 200GB limit Best practice: create separate pack for shared files Shared namespace path requirements Asset pack ID is NOT part of file path Each file must have unique relative path across ALL app's asset packs Example: Foo/10/239/414.png and Bar/10/239/414.png are distinct and won't collide Additional url(for:) bugs beyond iOS 26.1 fix iOS 26 Beta 5: "item with same name already exists" error Workaround: Request URL for directory, then manually append filename TestFlight-only availability - Major limitation not mentioned! Apple-hosted packs currently ONLY work for internal testers on TestFlight or from App Store. Won't work from Xcode until "later this year" HTTP 400 errors expected for non-TestFlight installs ba-serve port workaround URL override port bug exists on multiple device types Use ba-serve -p 443 instead of custom ports

Hi everyone, Since updating to Xcode 26, I’ve been running into an issue with the new ChatGPT integration inside Xcode. Even though I have an active ChatGPT Plus subscription (GPT-4 or GPT-5) and I’m signed in to my OpenAI account, Xcode doesn’t seem to recognize my paid plan. After reaching the free usage limit, I get the following message: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account or upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.” The issue is that I am already logged in with my ChatGPT Plus account, and everything works fine on the ChatGPT web app — but inside Xcode, it keeps treating me as a free user. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • Signing out and back into ChatGPT from within Xcode • Restarting Xcode and macOS • Verifying that I’m logged in to ChatGPT in Safari • Updating both macOS and Xcode to the latest versions None of these steps have resolved the issue. It seems like Xcode isn’t syncing properly with OpenAI authentication, and therefore it applies the free-tier limits even for paid accounts. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there any way to force Xcode to reauthenticate with OpenAI or link it properly to a ChatGPT Plus account? System setup: • Mac mini (Apple M2, 16 GB RAM) • macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 • Xcode Version 26.0.1 (17A400) Here’s the error message I’m seeing:

I am trying to make payment of $99 towards purchase of developer account through credit card but the transaction was not processed. Kindly provide the alternate payment options.

Hello Developers and Apple Engineers, I am encountering a persistent and highly unusual Xcode build failure when trying to use Metal APIs, specifically related to MTLCommandQueueDescriptor. I have exhausted all standard troubleshooting steps, including a complete erase and reinstall of macOS, yet the issue remains. Hardware diagnostics have passed. I am seeking insights or potential solutions. The Problem: When compiling any project (including brand new, empty macOS App projects) that attempts to set the dispatchType property on an MTLCommandQueueDescriptor instance, the build fails with the following errors: Swift // Code causing the error: let queueDescriptor = MTLCommandQueueDescriptor() queueDescriptor.dispatchType = .userInteractive // <-- Error occurs here // Compiler Errors: Value of type 'MTLCommandQueueDescriptor' has no member 'dispatchType' Cannot infer contextual base in reference to member 'userInteractive' Key Evidence - Physical Header File Corruption: The root cause appears to be a physically corrupted/incomplete SDK header file. Using the cat command in Terminal to inspect the contents of the relevant Metal header file confirms that the definition for MTLCommandQueueDescriptor is missing the dispatchType property: Bash cat /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Metal.framework/Versions/A/Headers/MTLCommandQueue.h The output consistently shows MTLCommandQueueDescriptor only having maxCommandBufferCount and logState properties, even after a fresh OS and Xcode installation. Environment: macOS: Version 26.0.1 (Build 25A362) - Clean install via Erase and Reinstall from Recovery. Xcode: Version 26.0.1 (Build 17A400) - Installed fresh from Mac App Store after OS reinstall. Mac Hardware: MacBook Pro (14-inch, M3) - (Please confirm this model info is accurate) Hardware Diagnostics: Passed (Tested at an official Apple Store). Exhaustive Troubleshooting Steps Performed (Issue Persists After All): Standard Xcode Cleaning: Clean Build Folder (Shift+Cmd+K). Manually deleted DerivedData folder (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData). Deleted Xcode Caches (~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode, com.apple.dt.xcodebuild). Command Line Tools Path: Correctly set using sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer. Verified path using xcode-select -p. Verified version using xcodebuild -version. Multiple Xcode Versions & Install Methods Attempted (Before OS Reinstall): Xcode 26.0.1 (App Store). Xcode 26.0.1 (.xip package from Developer Portal). Xcode 26.1 Beta 3 (.xip package from Developer Portal). Performed thorough cleaning (deleted ~/Library/Developer, /Library/Developer, caches, rebooted) before each .xip installation attempt. In all cases, cat command confirmed the header file remained corrupted on disk after installation. Hardware Check: Took the Mac to an official Apple Store. Hardware diagnostics passed without any issues reported. Complete OS Reinstallation: Booted into Recovery Mode. Used Disk Utility to completely erase the internal SSD (APFS, GUID Partition Map). Reinstalled macOS 26.0.1 from Recovery. Set up the Mac as a new device (did not restore from backup). Post-OS Reinstall: Installed Xcode 26.0.1 fresh from the Mac App Store. Set command line tools path correctly. Created a brand new macOS App project (MetalTest). Pasted the minimal code to reproduce the issue into AppDelegate.swift. Build failed with the exact same errors. Ran the cat command again, confirmed the MTLCommandQueue.h file on the fresh system is STILL missing the dispatchType property. Request for Help: Given that the SDK header file corruption persists even after a complete macOS erase and reinstall, and hardware diagnostics have passed, I am at a loss for the cause or further troubleshooting steps. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where core SDK files remain corrupted despite a clean OS install and passing hardware checks? Are there any deeper system caches or states that might survive an erase/reinstall and interfere with SDK file integrity? Are there any more advanced diagnostic steps recommended? Any insights or suggestions from Apple engineers or the community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I have previously contacted Apple Developer Support regarding this issue, case ID: 102731239935.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm experiencing an issue with file download functionality in the iOS Simulator after updating to Xcode 26 RC (Build 17A321). Issue Description: When attempting to download files in the iOS Simulator via Safari, the download prompt appears correctly, but after tapping the 'Download' button, files are not being saved to the Files app. The download appears to do nothing with no error message, no indication of failure, but the file simply doesn't appear in Downloads or anywhere in the Files app. Environment: Xcode Version: 26.0 RC (17A321) iOS Simulator Version: 26.0 RC (23A339) Device Simulated: iPhone Air Steps to Reproduce: Open Safari in the iOS Simulator Navigate to a downloadable file (PDF, ZIP, etc.) Tap to initiate download Download prompt appears as expected Tap the 'Download' button Check the Files app → Downloads folder (empty) Expected Behavior: Files should download normally as they do on physical devices and as they did in previous Xcode versions. Actual Behavior: The download prompt dismisses after tapping 'Download', but no file appears in the Files app. No error message is shown, and there's no indication that the download failed, it simply appears as if nothing happened. Additional Information: Downloads work correctly on physical device (iOS 26 RC 23A340) This functionality worked properly in previous Xcode versions I have created a bug report to Feedback assistant: FB20190927 Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello Team, I try to delete photo from Photos for that i used this method, [[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{ [PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets:@[assetToDelete]]; completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) { }]; This method pops up a dialog with Don't Allow or Delete. But some time in some iPhones not respond PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets method that's why that completionHandler not called because of that i can't perform any operation of PHPhotoLibrary then after. If I restart my iPhone then it works. Many users of my app complained about this issue. I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 15.3. But some iOS 12,14,16 users also face the same issue. So what exact issue is there? Is it related to iOS or a method? Thanks, Ankur

The Account Holder is no longer able to log into apple (regardless of web-based or device based attempts). The membership will expire soon without access to the account holder. Both workflows "iforgot.apple.com" and "iforgot.apple.com/unlock" did not lead to an answer email within several days. I tried several times. So we are almost out of store without any option. Hotline did not show other options. Any ideas?

Hi all,Our Account Holder has resigned the company and is not helpful in getting the account transferred.Can we somehow force update the account holder via Apple Support?Kind regards,Dieter

In my app I want to integrate a personilized Lock Screen. Does anybody know how that works?

I have to admit, I resisted Apple until about one year ago! I was die hard android. The main reason for the switch was the T-Mobile mobile SMS relay the deposit of the message and the timing of some SMS messages were very suspect. The relay number would keep automatically coming back. I searched been verified and never have I seen more than 10 comments about a person or a number, this was over 100!! now let me get to my point. I was hoping someone could give me a redemption code for the Copilot so I can look into my OneDrive and see how it increases security with Apple OS. I was told on some occasions that the “wheel“ user was necessary for Apple to function however it is a unix system that needs the wheel function. I don’t think Apple iOS needs the “wheel” user so I was wanting to download that Copilot for better results. thank you for any help I receive.

Hi, I've been running into an issue with the Xcode Intelligence assistance on the side. I am hitting limits very fast despite having both Claude and GPT plus. I've tried reauthenticating several times, turning apple intelligence off and on, nothing seems to be working.

Problem Details : Could not launch “App” Reproduction Route : Install Xcode26.0 > Connect to iPhone6(iOS12) > Run app We tried this solution but didn't work. To make Xcode 26 recognize and run apps on an iOS 12 physical device, you can manually add the missing device support files by going to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ on your Mac, where you’ll see folders like 17.0 or 18.0; download the matching iOS 12 folder (for example, 12.4) from the community-maintained repository.

I took delivery of a new 11 inch M5 iPad Pro yesterday, and have been unable to get it to connect to Xcode so I can build to it. The iPad is running iPadOS version 26.0.1, and I am using Xcode Version 26.0.1 as well. My MacBook Pro is running MacOS 26.0 I enabled developer mode. When I connected the cable I was asked (twice) to trust the computer, and said yes. I get errors saying: "The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device.; Error mounting image: 0xe800010f (kAMDMobileImageMounterPersonalizedBundleMissingVariantError" I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, quitting and relaunching Xcode, and rebooting both the iPad and the Mac. I've also tried "Clear Trusted Computers" in the developer menu. That triggers the same sequence of having to trust the computer again when I connect it (the dialog appears twice.) Then I go back to the error message above in the devices and simulators screen. I've also tried the command sudo installer -pkg /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/XcodeSystemResources.pkg -target / Nothing works. It's maddening. Does anybody know how I can can get this working? I'm eager to start developing on my new iPad, but I can't get started.

Hi so i have a given project where I am trying to use components within the PhotosUI Framework with Xcode26 and Xcode26.0.1 Just for reference here is an attached screenshot This sample code compiled successfully with xcode16.4 and was in production.

I'm facing an issue with Swift Playgrounds and files created in Xcode 16. It seems that Swift Playgrounds does not support Swift 6, but even when I create files specifically with Swift 5, Swift Playgrounds still reports that the files are unsupported. This creates a significant problem because macOS Sequoia does not allow me to revert to Xcode 15, which might have offered better compatibility. As it stands, I can't find a solution to work seamlessly between Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any workarounds or updates planned to address this compatibility gap? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
