What is the recommended approach for distributing an XCFramework that uses common third-party dependencies (like Google Maps) when client apps may also use the same dependencies, resulting in duplicate symbol conflicts? I'm developing a closed-source SDK distributed as an XCFramework. My SDK internally uses Google Maps for mapping functionality. However, when clients integrate my XCFramework into their apps that also use Google Maps, we encounter duplicate symbol errors. What I've Tried: Static vs Dynamic Linking: Both approaches result in conflicts Static linking: Google Maps symbols compiled into my binary Dynamic linking: GoogleMaps.framework bundled with my XCFramework Build Configuration: Set "Build Libraries for Distribution" = YES Tried various linking strategies Architecture Changes: Used @implementation_only import Wrapped code with #if canImport(GoogleMaps) However, the dependencies still get linked at build time

Hi everyone, After updating my Mac and Xcode to 26, I’m running into a consistent crash whenever I try to launch an app from Xcode. Environment: Mac: Apple Silicon M3 macOS: 26.0 (25A354) Xcode: 26.0.1 (17A400) Issue: When I press Run on any project (including new, empty projects), Xcode immediately crashes. This started only after updating to the latest macOS and Xcode. Crash details: The crash log shows: Application Specific Signatures: ___localError Thread 0 crashed inside -[IDEScheme _executionOperationForSchemeOperationParameters:...] from IDEFoundation/IDEKit. I also noticed background threads calling DVTPortal (developer portal requests) right before the crash. What I’ve tried so far: Cleared DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, and Xcode caches. Signed out/in of my Apple ID in Xcode. Recreated project schemes. Verified provisioning profiles. Reinstalled Xcode 26. Unfortunately, the crash still happens. Question: Is this a known issue with Xcode 26 on Apple Silicon (M3)? Has anyone seen a workaround? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated — I can’t currently launch apps in Xcode at all. Thanks!

‌Using Xcode 26, the built package encounters device compatibility issues — while it installs successfully on supported iPhone devices, but it crashes immediately upon launch and cannot run normally.‌‌In previous versions of Xcode, the same "minimum deployment" setting in the project did not cause such compatibility issues.‌ The app built with Xcode 26 shows the following behavior when installed and tested on various devices:‌ iPhone6p iOS12.5.8 fails to run 2.iPhone6 iOS11 fails to run 3.Iphone6 iOS12.5.7 fails to run 4.iPhone7 iOS12.1.3 ok 5.iPhoneX iOS 12.2 ok 6.iphone6s plus iOS10.3.1 ok 7.iphoneXS. iOS 12.1.4 ok 8.iPhone11 iOS 13.6.1 ok 9.iPhone7. iOS 13.7 ok We have tested and found that an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 10.3.1 can normally run the app. We would like to know whether apps built with Xcode 26 are inherently incompatible with iPhone 6 and older devices. Has Xcode 26’s underlying build environment removed full support for the A8 chip, resulting in binary files containing instructions or memory models that older devices cannot parse? ‌Looking forward to your reply‌.

Dear Apple,I'm an iOS developer and provided feedback in the good old online bug tracker for many years.Decent conversations with Apple egnineers often resulted in bug fixes or updated documentation.The fact that my contributions helped to improve the products was rewarding.So I kept adding reports in the new Feedback Assistant app in macOS Catalina.But ever since (September 2019) I never ever got any response on any ticket.1 month ago I even added a report if Apple even read my reports. Again, no response ever since.So my question on this forum: Is Apple actually reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?This can either be answered by Apple, or by other Developers that hopefully did response feedback from Apple. Or did not.Best regards,Martijn

I've recently installed 26.1 Beta 3 alongside stable 26.0.1 When building my app with 26.0.1 the final .ipa size is ~17mb, however after building my app with 26.1 Beta 3 the size has increased up to ~22mb The main difference is Assets.car blowing from 1.1mb to 5.6mb (or 8.6mb if I include all icons settings). Upon examining I've found new liquid glass .icon file duplicating itself multiple times as png variants (any, dark, tinted, etc). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi there, We’re encountering this error in all of our builds when using the latest Xcode and macOS: The Metal Toolchain was not installed and could not compile the Metal source files. Download the Metal Toolchain from Xcode > Settings > Components and try again. In short, all builds are failing. I’ve tried fixing this by installing Metal and applying other solutions, but none of them worked reliably. Is there a way to ensure that the Metal Toolchain is installed on the CI machine?

I am using SwiftData for my model. Until Xcode 15 beta 4 I did not have issues. Since beta 5 I am receiving the following red warning multiple times: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release This seems to be a CoreData warning. However, I am not using CoreData directly. I have no way to change the config of CoreData as used by SwiftData. My model just uses UUID, Int, String, Double, some of them as optionals or Arrays. I only use one attribute (.unique).

ITMS-90078: Missing potentially required entitlement - Your app, or a library that’s included in your app, uses Apple Push Notification service (APNs) registration APIs, but the APS Environment Entitlement isn’t included in the app signature’s entitlements. If your app uses APNs, make sure the App ID is enabled for push notifications in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, sign the app with a distribution provisioning profile that includes the APS Environment Entitlement, and upload a new build to ensure that push notifications function as intended.

Hi everyone, (you can answer in french) I’m french-rookie in xcode, and I have a problem: I’m trying to choice my custom font to add it in my Main.storyboard button, but it not works. I have my « Font provided by application » line in my Info.plist, with the name of my font in [0] (See images below) When I’m on storyboard button, I chose « custom » in font selector, then display font list but my custom font doesn’t appear. I already tried to install the font in my mac, but still stucked, nothing change 😭 Could you help me please? Thanks a lot (I specify that I scrupulously followed the way of doing explained on the Apple official page: Adding a Custom Font to Your App )

At the Platform State of the Union, Apple demoed clicking a ✨ button in the Xcode toolbar to use Apple Intelligence in Xcode. I don't see that button in Xcode Version 26.0 beta (17A5241e). Am I missing it? It's supposed to be in the upper-left corner, right? Do I need to turn it on or something? I'm on macOS 15.5 Sequoia, on a 16-inch, 2021 MacBook Pro

I downloaded the latest version of Xcode 26 (beta). I'm running Max OS 15.5. How can I use Claude 4 Opus? I can't wait to try this out. Thanks in advance!

Hi! In neither Xcode 16.2 beta 3 nor Xcode 16.2 I am able to get App Shortcuts Preview to recognise my Shortcuts. In either supported language I always get "No Matching Intent" as the result. Flexible matching is enabled, minimum deployment target is iOS 18. The Shortcut phrases do work in the simulator and on device. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

I am building a bundle target for macOS 12 and later using Xcode. The bundle is not a standalone app, but a plug-in that is loaded by a host app. The code is written in Swift and uses the new Span API which is available in the OS-provided standard library in macOS 26 and backdeploys to macOS 10.14.4+. Xcode should instruct the linker to include libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib in the compiled bundle to provide this backdeployment, but that does not happen. SwiftPM does this additional linking by adding an rpath. When trying to load the bundle using the NSBundle.loadAndReturnError() API, I get the following error on macOS 15 (and no error on macOS 26): Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3588 "dlopen(.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/MyBundle, 0x0109): Library not loaded: @rpath/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib Referenced from: <CE92806C-94B7-367E-895D-EF6DF66C7FC2> .../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/MyBundle Reason: tried: '/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '/private/Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '/private/Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=The bundle couldn’t be loaded., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Try reinstalling the bundle., NSFilePath=.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/MyBundle, NSDebugDescription=dlopen(.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/MyBundle, 0x0109): Library not loaded: @rpath/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib Referenced from: <CE92806C-94B7-367E-895D-EF6DF66C7FC2> .../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/MyBundle Reason: tried: '/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '/private/Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/lib/swift/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '/private/Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), '.../MyBundle.someBundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib' (no such file), NSBundlePath=.../MyBundle.someBundle, NSLocalizedDescription=The bundle “MyBundle” couldn’t be loaded.} My setup: Xcode 26.2 macOS 26.2 (25C57) SDK (Built-in)

I am preparing for Swift Student Challenge, but it seems like the iPad Playground app still not support the latest SDK. I can't use frameworks like FoundationModel, etc., directly in playground app My playground for this year would require iPad environment since it uses PencilKit, ARKit, etc., and I also want to use the latest tech + the liquid glass UI Right now, I develop the project as a normal Xcode project, and I am wondering how do I post it? As Xcode playground, it must run on macOS As Swift Playground project, the iPad version of Playground does not support latest APIs and it can't compile

When I try to get a new API Key I get the following error. "API Keys cannot be created due to an invalid Program License Agreement. Please update this agreement and try your request again." I have been to the agreement section, and it says: "Issued October 8, 2025. Accepted November 19, 2025." Any idea why I still get this error?? Not sure if that makes a difference. I had a paid account, but I didn't renew it because I don't need it anymore, and I was told that I can still use this account for free for app testing.

I tried to post a reply to a thread. It seems to be posted, but does not appear in the thread once sent…

I have designed a new icon for my app/Tahoe in Icon Composer (launched from within Xcode)but I simply cannot get it to show up. The documentation for Icon Composer spends a lot of time describing how to design the icons but goes distressingly vague/silent on how one might use it. It suggests that I should drag the file to Xcode and it will guide me as to where to put it. The app continues to use the old (pre-Tahoe) icon. I don't get any change of behaviour and I don't know what to name the file. I assume that there are no other settings that I have to change. I can't find anything on the web or in Apple's documentation: maybe I'm missing something obvious! My app is a working NSDocument-based Cocoa project. Any suggestions please. Tahoe 26.0.1, Xcode 26.0.1, Apple M1 Max MBP.
