How to make RealityKit both parent and child entities accessible to UI tests?
I have a SwiftUI RealityKit app, and I am writing UI tests for it. The app has entities that have children. All entities have an accessibilityComponent so that they can be found by UI tests. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent, the UI tests find the parent. If I set isAccessibilityElement = false for the parent, and isAccessibilityElement = true for the child, the UI tests find the child. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent as well as for the child, the UI tests find only the parent. How can I make parent and child entities both be accessible by the UI tests?

Any way to automate adding libraries in Xcode from Swift Package Manager (SPM)?
Hi all, I’m looking for a way to automate the process of adding Swift Package dependencies (SPM) into an Xcode project. Right now, I’m doing this manually via: Xcode → Project → Swift Packages → Add Package Dependency... But I’d like to script this step — ideally as part of a CI/CD pipeline or a setup script. I explored the xcodeproj Ruby gem, but it doesn’t support adding SPM packages, and there's no official support for editing the .xcodeproj structure related to Swift Packages. So my question is: Is there any Apple-supported or community-supported way to programmatically add Swift Package dependencies to an Xcode project or workspace? Would love to know if anyone has: Used xcodebuild, xcodegen, or other tools for this Explored editing project files directly (like project.pbxproj or Package.resolved) Found any API or CLI hooks from Apple for this Thanks in advance!

Issue with Module Import and Archiving a Mixed Swift/C Library Using Swift Package Manager
Hello everyone, I’m encountering an issue when trying to build and archive my library BleeckerCodesLib using Swift Package Manager. My project is structured with two targets: CBleeckerLib: A C target that contains my image processing code (C source files and public headers). BleeckerCodesLib: A Swift target that depends on CBleeckerLib and performs an import CBleeckerLib. Below is the relevant portion of my Package.swift: // swift-tools-version:5.7 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "BleeckerCodesLib", platforms: [.iOS(.v16)], products: [ .library(name: "BleeckerCodesLib", targets: ["BleeckerCodesLib"]) ], targets: [ .target( name: "CBleeckerLib", publicHeadersPath: "include" ), .target( name: "BleeckerCodesLib", dependencies: ["CBleeckerLib"] ) ] ) Directory Structure My project directory looks like this: BleeckerCodesLib/ ├── BleeckerCodesLib.xcodeproj/ │ └── xcuserdata/ │ └── robertopitarch.xcuserdatad/ │ └── xcschemes/ │ └── xcschememanagement.plist ├── BleeckerCodesLib.h ├── Package.swift └── Sources/ ├── CBleeckerLib/ │ ├── bleecker-lib.c │ └── include/ │ ├── bleecker-lib.h │ └── CBleeckerLib.h └── BleeckerCodesLib/ ├── UIImage+Extensions.swift ├── ImageProcessingUtility.swift ├── APIManager.swift ├── BleeckerCodesLib.swift ├── CameraView.swift ├── RealTimeCameraView.swift └── BleeckerCameraWrapper.swift Code Example In my Swift code (for example, in BleeckerCodesLib.swift), I import the C module as follows: import SwiftUI import UIKit import CBleeckerLib // Import the C module public struct BleeckerCodes { public struct DetectedCode { public let code: String public let corners: [CGPoint] public init(code: String, corners: [CGPoint]) { self.code = code self.corners = corners } } // Initialization function public static func initializeLibrary() -> String { bleecker_init() // Call the C module function return "BleeckerCodesLibrary initialized!" } // ... other functions } The Problem When I try to compile or archive the project using commands such as: xcodebuild archive -project BleeckerCodesLib.xcodeproj -scheme BleeckerCodesLib -destination "generic/platform=iOS" -archivePath "archives/BleeckerCodesLib" I receive the error: "no such module 'CBleeckerLib'" Any assistance or step-by-step guidance on resolving this integration issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Icon dark mode not working on iPadOS
I updated the icons in Xcode to customize the appearance of my app icons to be light, dark, or tinted. The app is allowed to be downloaded and run on iPadOS. The app icon behaves as expected on iOS however the app icon does not change on the iPad. Am I missing a step for the iPad? To be clear the app does not target iPadOS rather it is just running the iOS version. Thanks kof

App crashing on real iPhone only (working fine on simulator and Xcode preview)
Hi, I'm currently facing an issue where my React Native app crashes only on a real iPhone. On the simulator and in Xcode preview, the app runs fine. Previously, I had an issue with FlatList regarding props.getItem, which I solved by installing some missing Babel dependencies. After that, everything worked correctly in the simulator. But when I try to open the app on a real device, it shows the splash screen and crashes immediately. I've already done a full clean and reset, including: npx react-native start --reset-cache Deleted node_modules and Pods, reinstalled everything Cleaned build folder via Xcode Deleted DerivedData Restarted Metro bundler and simulator/device The issue only happens on the physical device. Here’s a portion of the crash log IDate/Time: 2025-04-14 19:11:28.6796 -0300 Launch Time: 2025-04-14 19:11:28.5292 -0300 OS Version: iPhone OS 18.3.2 (22D82) Release Type: User Baseband Version: 4.20.03 Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: SIGNAL 6 Abort trap: 6 Terminating Process: JazminChebar [1973] Triggered by Thread: 0 Last Exception Backtrace: 0 CoreFoundation 0x19a0865fc __exceptionPreprocess + 164 (NSException.m:249) 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x197601244 objc_exception_throw + 88 (objc-exception.mm:356) 2 JazminChebar 0x1009b2c04 RCTFatal + 568 (RCTAssert.m:147) 3 JazminChebar 0x1009c81f8 __28-[RCTCxxBridge handleError:]_block_invoke + 532 (RCTCxxBridge.mm:1178) 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a1e19248 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 (init.c:1549) 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a1e1afa8 _dispatch_client_callout + 20 (object.m:576) 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a1e29a34 _dispatch_main_queue_drain + 984 (queue.c:8093) 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a1e2964c _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF + 44 (queue.c:8253) 8 CoreFoundation 0x19a0d2bcc CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE + 16 (CFRunLoop.c:1793) 9 CoreFoundation 0x19a0cf1c0 __CFRunLoopRun + 1996 (CFRunLoop.c:3163) 10 CoreFoundation 0x19a121284 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 588 (CFRunLoop.c:3434) 11 GraphicsServices 0x1e73914c0 GSEventRunModal + 164 (GSEvent.c:2196) 12 UIKitCore 0x19cc6a674 -[UIApplication _run] + 816 (UIApplication.m:3846) 13 UIKitCore 0x19c890e88 UIApplicationMain + 340 (UIApplication.m:5503) 14 JazminChebar 0x100178708 main + 80 (main.m:7) 15 dyld 0x1c037dde8 start + 2724 (dyldMain.cpp:1338)

Breakpoint on Runtime Issue os_log_fault_default_callback
The app stops on the breakpoint when "All Runtime Issues" is added. If I disable the breakpoint, the app runs normally. Is there a new project setting to avoid this breakpoint from being set. It does not appear to be a valid error. I am running Xcode 16.2. I edited the "Type" field in the breakpoint box. This occurs with the "System Frameworks" option only.

Day 5 of Apple Developer Support – Urgent Review Delay & Lack of Response
I am now on Day 5 of waiting for our Apple Developer Program approval, and despite multiple attempts to get an update, I have received no meaningful response from Apple. I have: ✅ Successfully paid membership fee and received invoice for same ✅ Reached out via support tickets, but got 0 replies. This delay is unreasonable and impacting my work. I am prepared to launch a critical app that aligns with Apple’s ecosystem and guidelines, but Apple’s lack of communication is preventing me from moving forward. After lot of hard work and resources I have completed app development and set up other processes for marketing. I demand a real update from an Apple Developer Program representative today. • Not silence. • A direct response with a timeline for approval. Apple claims to support developers, but these excessive delays and lack of transparency tell a different story. If there is a legitimate issue, I expect clear communication. If there isn’t, we expect this approval to be completed immediately. Apple, please address this case today. I cannot afford further inaction. Order ID: MNTHQYXGLN

Xcode Cloud Build Number Increment Approach
It is a bit strange what Xcode Cloud has implemented on how they manage the Build Numbers https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-the-next-build-number-for-xcode-cloud-builds Intead of just looking at the project configuration as the source of truth, they run their own build number and totally ignore the project config value. Also, interesting that instead of solving it they have a "Set Build Number" menu in the settings which is a pain to manually manage everytime they got out of sync. Is there any way to turn this madness off and consider the project config as the source of truth?

iOS Simulator Keychain Issues After Xcode Reinstall
Hello All I'm encountering an issue with Keychain access in iOS simulators after reinstalling Xcode. My app successfully accesses the Keychain on physical devices, but simulators consistently fail with errors. Details: App uses Keychain to store API keys Works perfectly on physical devices After Xcode reinstall, simulator Keychain access fails Error logs show "Keychain retrieve failed for key with status: -25300" I've properly configured Keychain Sharing entitlements My entitlements file includes: $(AppIdentifierPrefix)******* What I've tried: Resetting simulators Deleting simulator Keychain databases manually Adding Keychain Sharing capability Ensuring entitlements are correct My app worked fine with simulators before reinstalling Xcode, which suggests something changed in the development environment rather than my code. Has anyone encountered similar issues? Is there a recommended approach for handling Keychain access in simulators that's more resilient to Xcode environment changes? Thanks for your help!

The location coming out of geocoder in CLPlacemark has altitude 0, differently of the input CLLocation
When I execute: geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler:{[weak self](placemarks, error) in print("reverse geocoding location after altitude: ",location.altitude) print("placemark location first", placemarks?.first?.location?.altitude ?? -1) The input CLLocation has correct altitude 25, instead the location in the output placemarks have altitude 0, when of course they should have the same location. Moreover it is impossible to retrofit any data in the returned placemarks as they are portrayed as a read only property.

Xcode is is throwing error when I run my Unity Build
When I try to build my project in Xcode (from Unity AR) project, it throws me these errors: I feel like I've tried everything to make the LaunchScreen work. I downloaded xcode the night I tried running this build, so the whole deleting and redownloading and restarting everything didn't work. I've tried making sure my macbook and terminal are fully up to date. I literally can't find a solution! Please help!! I will also say, I'm fairly new to App building, Xcode, and Unity. But this does seem like a barrier that is stopping me from testing my project.

Unity (IL2CPP) iOS Build: "_placeGeoAnchor" Undefined Symbol for Architecture arm64
Hi all, I’m running into a persistent linker error when building my Unity 6 project (IL2CPP, iOS target) that calls a Swift method via an Objective-C++ wrapper. Despite following all known steps, I keep getting: Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "_placeGeoAnchor", referenced from: _GeoAnchorTrigger_placeGeoAnchor in libGameAssembly.a ... ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 I’m trying to place a persistent AR anchor at real-world GPS coordinates (so that the same asset can appear at the same location for a returning user). Since I’m targeting iOS, I can’t use Google’s geospatial anchors (but I sooo wish I could--please apple I beg of you stop being so selfish lol). I've already done these things: Swift file is added to Unity-iPhone target. .mm and .h files are in Unity-iPhone target under Compile Sources. Bridging header is set to Unity-iPhone-Bridging-Header.h. Generated header name is correct (GeoTest-Swift.h). Build Active Architecture Only set to No. Function has attribute((visibility("default"))). Unity project uses IL2CPP scripting backend. Yet I'm still getting the same linker error — it appears Unity (via IL2CPP) references the function, but Xcode doesn't link it. It’s something small that’s being missed with how IL2CPP links native symbols? Or maybe I need to explicitly include something in Link Binary With Libraries? I’ve verified symbol visibility and targets repeatedly. I’ve built AR features in Unity before (for Quest), but this is my first time trying to bridge C# → Objective-C++ → Swift in this way for a geolocation-based AR anchor for an iphone. I'm going crazy, I’ve been stuck on this for 12+ hours now, so any insight or nudge would be deeply appreciated. SPECS: Macbook Pro M4 Pro--Sequoia 15.4 Unity 6000.0.45f1 IPhone 11 iOS 18.4 Xcode 15

How to pay for Xcode Cloud via the Apple Developer account?
Hi, Our organisation just ran out of the included Xcode Cloud hours. I now want to upgrade (I am the account holder). There does not seem to be a way to do this on the Apple Developer and/or App Store Connect websites, as you'd expect. The Get started with Xcode Cloud page mentions that I need to use the Apple Developer app. However, when I sign up to this in the Apple Developer app, the account shown when pressing Subscribe is my personal account, not any account related to the organization: It is impossible to change the payment details. How can I use the organization account to pay for this, as I obviously do not want to get charged to my personal account? Thanks.
