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?

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!

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!

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

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

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.
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.

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?
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!
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.
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.

I'm using RevenueCat in a Flutter app to manage in-app subscriptions. On iOS, the subscription products load and display correctly when running in debug mode on a real device. However, when I upload the app to TestFlight, the products fail to load — I get an empty list or no products shown at all.

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.

I signed up for the dev account three days ago. I’ve sent multiple emails and requested a phone call multiple times and no one has responded to me.
I have an iOS app that I also run on my Macbook Air M1. My app plays music and I use FaceTime for voice communication with users of my app. How do I stop FaceTime from cutting out the music on my app?
Hi, I requested the https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=6482849843&country=us for getting the information of Goods puzzle sort challange , but the screenshotUrls in the response was empty. Is iTunes search API has issue with getting the screenshot urls ? Is there any plan to update it ?

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.

Xcode 16.2 archive fails to compile XIB
Xcode Archive command fails most of the time while compiling an XIB which was created in older Xcode.
XIB was updated in Xcode 16.2 version also which did not fix this issue.
Archive from Xcode app works but Xcode build command fails and no reason shown by the command.

The following build commands failed:
