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:

When I use the method provided in the document https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpasslibrary/activate(_:activationdata:completion:)?changes=_1__4,_1__4 to verify a card that has been added to Apple Wallet, I get an error code: 500 unknown error How can I troubleshoot the problem?

I've recently switched from using Xcode 15 under Ventura to using Xcode 26 under Sequoia on an Intel-CPU Mac. This is a macOS project that uses a legacy build location, and the sources are C++ and Objective-C. For every source being compiled, I get a clang warning "no such include directory" for these 4 directories: $BUILD_DIR/Debug/include $BUILD_DIR/SBEngineV4.build/Debug/V4 Dual SBEngine.build/DerivedSources-normal/x86_64 $BUILD_DIR/SBEngineV4.build/Debug/V4 Dual SBEngine.build/DerivedSources/x86_64 $BUILD_DIR/SBEngineV4.build/Debug/V4 Dual SBEngine.build/DerivedSources I can't figure out where it's getting those directories. I added a Run Script build phase that says echo $HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS, and the first path that reports is the $BUILD_DIR/Debug/include path, yet I don't see that when I look at the header search paths in the target build settings. I tried deleting all the derived data. I tried Xcode 26.0.1 and 26.1 beta 2.

Hello there! In one of my apps, I noticed that the view hierarchy debugger isn't working anymore inside Xcode 26. So I created a new project, to see if it's just my project or Xcode. With the new project, it didn't happen. What can I do here? I already reported that issue. Here is the id of it: FB20605681

I admit I am doing something unusual, and I would not be surprised if it didn't work. I am surprised, however, because after performing the equivalent operations on four bundles, all of the bundles work fine on macOS 15.6.1, but only two of them work on macOS 26.1 (beta 2). I don't know what causes the different outcomes. What I am trying to do is get Java to pass the macOS 26 AppKit UI SDK linkage checking without having to rebuild the JDK using Xcode 26. Rebuilding works for the latest SDK, but it is very inconvenient and may not work for older JDKs. It usually takes a while before the JDK build team successfully transitions to a new Xcode release. My approach is to use vtool to update the sdk version in the LC_BUILD_VERSION load command of $JAVA_HOME/bin/java, which is the launching executable for the JDK. I performed this operation on four JDKs: 25, 21, 17, and 11. (I ran vtool on macOS 15.) It was completely successful on JDK 25 and 21. The JDK launches correctly on macOS 15 and macOS 26. On macOS 26, AppKit uses the new UI, which is the desired outcome. The JDK runs despite that fact that I signed the modified $JAVA_HOME/bin/java with my developer ID, which is inconsistent with the JDK bundle signature. (Redoing the bundle signing is part of the JDK build process; if that were necessary, I would stick with rebuilding the JDK.) The operation was not successful on JDK 17 and 11. I noticed two problems, which are not obviously related. When vtool created the new version of the java program, it lost the tool definition. $ vtool -show-build-version java java: Load command 10 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 32 platform MACOS minos 11.0 sdk 11.1 ntools 1 tool LD version 609.8 $ vtool -set-build-version 1 10.0 26.0 -output a.out java /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/vtool warning: code signature will be invalid for a.out $ vtool -show-build-version a.out a.out: Load command 22 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 24 platform MACOS minos 10.0 sdk 26.0 ntools 0 Adding back the tool definition didn't seem to matter. When I try to run the revised executable (in the context of the JDK bundle), it works on macOS 15, but on macOS 26, it is rejected as damaged. If I run the revised executable outside the JDK bundle, it runs (but fails because it can't find the rest of the JDK, which is expected). In all cases, GateKeeper rejects the revised executable because it has not been notarized, but that doesn't seem to stop the program from executing.

In my app target Foo, I have a dependency on package Bar. Bar itself have a dependency on another package Other. In my test target FooTests, I have a dependency on package BarTestsHelpers. BarTestsHelpers depends on Bar. When compiling test target FooTests, I get the following unexpected warning in Xcode 26 only: 'Bar' is missing a dependency on 'Other' because dependency scan of Swift module 'Bar' discovered a dependency on 'Other' I can see this is being discussed here as well without a solution. I filled a feedback with a sample project here: FB20602885 It seems that we can remove the warning by explicitly adding the dependency Other on BarTestHelpers. But this shouldn't be needed as BarTestHelpers doesn't use nor know about Other, it only needs it as part of its dependency on Bar.

I am posting here to express my significant concern regarding the excessive time my Apple Developer Program account application has been held under review. It has now been over a month. This application is for a non-profit church service app. I have provided every single piece of documentation requested—and then some. It honestly feels like I've submitted enough information that if they asked for the original blueprint of the church building, I could hand that over too. The entire process is currently stalled, preventing a service-oriented application from being deployed and ultimately hindering our outreach efforts. Has anyone else experienced a review period this long for a clear-cut non-profit application? More directly, to the Apple Developer Team: What is the current expected timeframe for approval, and why is this particular application still pending after more than 30 days, despite comprehensive documentation? This delay is beyond frustrating and needs an immediate resolution.

I have an environment variable set in an xctestplan for a set of unit tests that I access like so: let testType = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment[TARGET_TEST_TYPE_KEY] This is always is always returning nil when I run my unit tests in Xcode 26, but seems to work as expected in Xcode 16.4. Were there any changes in Xcode 26 that changes how this works? Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded xCode 26.0.1 and installed it overtop of my previous version of xCode (I don't know the version, but it was less than a year old). Everything was working fine with the previous version of xCode, but with v 26.0.1, I am getting the following popup error message when trying to install my app to some of my tethered devices: "Could not located developer disk image for this device" This occurs with an iPhone 7 with iOS 14.8 and an iPad Pro (1st gen) with iOS 13.5.1. Again, these devices had no problem launching an app from xCode while tethered prior to the v 26.0.1 install. I do have the following folders in the \Users\MyName\Library\Developer\xCode\iOS DeviceSupport folder: 12.4.1 (16G102) 12.4.1 (16...2) arm64e 13.5.1 (17F80) 14.4.2 (18D70) 14.6 (18F72) 14.7.1 (18G82) 14.8 (18H17) 15.0.2 (19A404) 15.1 (19B74) arm64e 15.3.1 (19D52) 15.3.1 (19...2) arm64e 16.1 (20B82) arm64e 16.3.1 (20...7) arm64e

I received this message when trying to submit a build using Rork.com. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to fix it? There is a problem with the request entity - You are not allowed to create 'iOS' profile with App ID 'XXXXXXXX'. ✖ Failed to create Apple provisioning profile Error: build command failed.

It’s very frustrating when in a feedback I specify that I cannot reliably reproduce it and the feedback gets closed with the message “Since this issue cannot be reproduced, this report has been closed”, e.g. FB18985938. Is Apple not interested in hearing about issues that cannot be reliably reproduced? Many issues unfortunately depend on a variety of factors and it’s often impossible for third-party developers or users to figure out how to reliably reproduce them. Usually these kind of issues get addressed by e.g. adding more logging so that the next time it happens it's easier to find out what's causing it. Then the last part of the message “Please file a new report with a sysdiagnose if you encounter this issue again” sounds like I’m being teased, because what use is a new sysdiagnose if I still cannot reproduce it reliably? It will just be closed like the last one. I created FB20595673 for this issue.

Context Host: macOS 14.7.6 on Apple Silicon (Mac mini M2) Xcode 15.4 Simulator runtimes installed: iOS 17.2, 17.4, 17.5 Tech stack: Kivy/kivy-ios, SDL2 (OpenGL ES/EAGL), Python 3.11 App type: minimal Kivy “Hello World” (no special entitlements, no camera/mic) Observed On iOS 17.5 Simulator the app often shows a black screen or exits immediately (no crash dialog). On iOS 17.2 Simulator the same build runs fine (after a clean rebuild of SDL2 and proper xcodebuild flags). What fixed it for 17.2 Clean rebuild of SDL2 (no cached artifacts), then build python/kivy/app. xcodebuild WITHOUT OTHER_CFLAGS="-Umain -DSDL_MAIN_HANDLED". Typical flags: ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=YES, EXCLUDED_ARCHS="i386 x86_64", IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=16.0. Optionally enforcing EAGL RGBA8 + retained backing + opaque helped when testing, but the clean SDL2 rebuild already resolved black screen on 17.2. Still problematic 17.5 Simulator still exhibits black screen/early exit for this OpenGL ES path (no clear console/crash signal). Real devices are fine. Questions Is there a known regression or change in iOS 17.5 Simulator related to EAGL/OpenGL ES contexts or presentation? Any recommended Simulator settings/workarounds for GL/EAGL apps on 17.5?

Hello, my builds keep failing in Xcode Cloud at the creation of the archive for tesflight. I am receiving an email mentioning "ITMS-90035: Invalid Signature" TMS-90035: Invalid Signature - Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “BASELog.app/BASELog” is not properly signed. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing. The thing is the archives which are not intended for testflight not App Store connect are not failing. I think I have the required distribution certificates (initially they were created by API for Xcode Icloud, I add 3, revoked them and recreated one manually and the other from Xcode directly) : even though certificats seems ok, in Xcode I see a dev certificate in the managed release and if I try to force a distribution certificate in the build I then get the following warning It looks like my managed profile is not behaving properly, like not embedding a distribution certificate. I looked on the web for the signing issues, and I have found in other threads an issue with assets having special charsets. I checked on my side, the only thing I see is my app icon is named "icon_v1.png" I assume it shouldn't be an issue. I dont see any special char anywhere else in the sources name. Anyone has any idea on what is causing those build fails on the archive?

Hi, our builds with a Test action in Xcode Cloud are failing because of an internal Xcode Cloud crash. We see the "red cloud with an X" icon, that indicates that it's an Xcode Cloud issue, and the message says "The Test - iOS action could not complete due to an error. The error may not occur on rebuild." but this has been happening for a while now, and for repeated builds. In the artifacts there is a crash log apparently related to the "ibtoold" process, has anybody had this issue before? Thanks

Hi Apple Engineers and fellow developers, I'm a student developer working on an educational focus management app that helps users hide distracting apps during study sessions. The app consists of: macOS app: Simple "Hide apps" button that triggers app hidding sessions iOS app: Uses Screen Time API to temporarily hide selected apps from home screen Communication: Bonjour networking between Mac and iPhone for session coordination The Challenge My app requires two entitlements that aren't available with Personal Developer Teams: com.apple.developer.family-controls (for Screen Time API) com.apple.developer.networking.multicast (for Bonjour device discovery) Current Error Messages text Cannot create a iOS App Development provisioning profile for "focuser.focuser-app". Personal development teams, including "My Name", do not support the Family Controls (Development) capability. Provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls and com.apple.developer.networking.multicast entitlements. My Question for Apple Engineers Is there any legitimate way to test these privacy-sensitive APIs on my own devices for educational/learning purposes without purchasing the $99/year Apple Developer Program membership? I understand the security reasons behind these restrictions, but as a student just learning iOS development, it creates a significant barrier to experimenting with these technologies.

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.

I'm trying to submit a support request to get an issue resolved in my organization's account, but both the phone call-back and email support forms are giving errors whenever I try to submit an issue. The phone form just says "There was a problem processing your request.", and the email form says "This email address isn’t valid. To update your email address, visit account.apple.com.". But the email address is hard-coded to my account email, and it's the main email for my company which I have been successfully using for months!! How am I supposed to get in touch to get this blocking issue fixed when all contact methods require your to go through this broken form? I suspect the original issue I was contact support about also has to do with this, since it's titled "Email Verification".

I have a workflow where I want to specifically run some tests in the iOS 18 simulator. All while using Xcode 26 on Xcode Cloud. In my Xcode Cloud workflow I can set the iOS version, but just iOS 16, 17 and 26, but no 18? I'm very confused here Not sure which is the right channel anyway to request support to Xcode Cloud too
