Hi,
You're here because your project has issues related to Xcode Previews or Swift Previews. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of any of the following:
An error in your SwiftUI app, Xcode previews, or on-device previews.
A configuration error in your Xcode project, including any third-party dependencies or packages.
A system issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, or in Xcode Previews.
Based on your request, I need more information about your SwiftUI app when rendering Xcode Previews or on-device previews. Specifically, I’ll need the diagnostics Swift Previews generates to make sure I understand the error encountered by the preview system. Please create a report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested in the instructions below.
For issues with macOS, Mac Catalyst, on-device iOS, or on-device visionOS previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics:
Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device.
Reproduce the error while previewing on device, taking note of the timestamp when the error occurred.
Attach the Previews diagnostics, sysdiagnose from your Mac, a sysdiagnose from the previewing iOS or visionOS device.
For issues with Xcode Previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics:
Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device.
Reproduce the error in Xcode Previews, if you haven’t already done so.
If an error banner appears in the canvas, click the "Diagnostics" button within the banner, then go to Step 5; otherwise, continue to Step 4.
If the error banner is missing, navigate to the menu in Xcode: Editor > Canvas > Diagnostics
In the presented sheet, click the "Generate Report" button.
Attach a zip file containing the diagnostic report to your bug report (it will be named something like previews-diagnostics-0123456789.zip).
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the following information is included in your feedback:
with the Swift Previews logging profile installed, attach the sysdiagnose logs gathered after reproducing the issue
the Previews diagnostics generated by Xcode
timestamp identifying when the issue was reproduced
focused sample Xcode project that reproduces the issue (if applicable)
screenshots or videos of the error (optional)
Please include all requested information to prevent delays in my investigation.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond to your original Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your SwiftUI app, a configuration issue within your Xcode project, or an underlying issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, in Xcode Previews, or on-device previews.
Cheers,
Paris X Pinkney | WWDR | DTS Engineer

From last week all crash for watchOS has been broken.
The latest version 15.22.1 missing all stack trace and showing weird as attached.
All the crashes for previous versions totally disappeared.
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.

I’m experiencing a serious issue with my enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. I have been waiting for weeks with no response from Apple Support. Despite sending two emails (and now a 3rd) in an attempt to get a reply, I still haven’t heard back, even though I have completed all the necessary steps and received confirmation that my enrollment process has started.
Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? If so, how did you manage to resolve it, or do you have any advice on how I can get Apple to respond and take action?
I would really appreciate any insights or suggestions. Thank you in advance!

Got a Watch SE recently only to find out that I can't deploy apps to it from Xcode even once.
I always get the message "Connecting to Watch" and "Reconnecting to Watch".
Tried with Xcode 16 and then with 16.2. Same result.
For countless times, I have tried every possible solution posted on this forum and elsewhere but to no avail.
Filed a feedback, no reply yet from Apple.
Looks like something is seriously broken. Please fix this.

We have recently developed the iwatch app. We will package the APP + iwatch app and publish it in testfight for test download. However, we often find that after the mobile app is downloaded, the iwatch app is also on the iwatch System application inside display. Click install is always in the installation. It has not been installed. Especially when the phone we tested is paired with several watches. Or delete the mobile APP and download it again to recover. But some situations still cannot be recovered. May I ask why it is always installed? We have confirmed that there is no problem with the network, and the pairing connection between the watch and the mobile phone is normal. This problem has caused us a lot of trouble. I wonder if this will happen in the app store. Please give the official reply

Hi all. I don't know where else to go in order to find a way to communicate with Apple or reach help.
I have enrolled to the Apple Developer Product, no money charged in my account by I have received confirmation of Apple Acknowledgement that I have made an order.
Specifically 2 weeks now I try to contact someone from Apple side but with no luck. Recently I received the following and I had a small conversation from them.
If you have additional questions related to this request, please > reference case number 20000089031868.
Ge***le -> this is the name of the support agent
Did I do something wrong from my side? Does anyone has the same issue?
Swift 6.1 introduces package traits, which are great. But sometimes one might want to have a trait that is not enabled by default, and in such cases you will still want to be able to unit test them.
Can we get an option, perhaps in the test plan configuration, that would allow us to specify traits that should be enabled when compiling for testing, even if those traits are not enabled by default?
Bonus points if we could have multiple test plans that each build with a different set of traits, and running all the tests would cause the package to be built multiple times, so that all possible combinations of traits could be properly unit tested.

Hey everyone,
I’m in a really frustrating situation and could use some advice.
Apple approved my Developer Program application and asked me to make the payment. I paid using my Wise card, but the payment got stuck in authorization and later timed out, resulting in a refund. I contacted Apple via email, and they advised me to reapply using the iOS Developer app.
I did exactly that, but my new application got rejected. When I called support, they told me there’s no appeal process and refused to provide a reason for the rejection. I’ve sent multiple emails, but I haven’t received a single response.
I just want to continue with my original application and complete the payment, but I can’t get in touch with anyone who can help. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas on how to get through to Apple and resolve this?
Thanks in advance!

Trying to use SwiftUI Preview in Xcode 16.2 on complex project, I have no access to Developer Apple team, instead I am using manually installed provision profiles to test on iPhone.
So, SwiftUI Preview does not work with diagnostic error "Failure: Framework Agent preparation failed: Could not find a team ID"
I get this error when registering as a developer'Your enrollment could not be completed'

My version number is 4.1.1. so no 0
I am really no sure what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I keep having to delete keys in com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist in order to paste in an URL to a package without having to deal with and endless spinner. Then, after I do that to bring in a package that has a macro, it's a crap shoot that it will recognize the macro when I try to import it.
What's the deal?
Hello,

In the test plan settings, it's possible to select an .xcappdata bundle for a set of tests:
I failed to find any documentation about it in the context of macOS apps testing. What I'm trying to achieve is having a sandboxed app container (/Users/{user}/Library/Containers/{bundle-id)/Data/) replaced before running a test suite.
Is it something possible to achieve using the latest Xcode? What should be the .xcappdata structure to make it work on macOS?
