This just started happening today out of nowhere. Instead of only the project I’m working on appearing in Source Control, every project inside my Xcode projects folder is now showing up in the Source Control navigator. This is happening in both the Changes and Repositories tabs.

Since 26.4 beta 3 I've been having errors after a few hours of using Claude Agent. I get an error stating that I am not authed. If I go into Xcode settings, it still shows I am signed into Claude Agent. I have click sign out and then go through the whole auth process again to start using the agent again. This is on two separate computers. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour and stay logged in for longer? It worked fine in 26.3.

Im a Quality Engineer and using Appium to automate in Physical devices so installed appium server and xcuitest. We need to build the webdriveragent project from xcode , when doing that getting the following error "Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/" I have a apple account licensed but still unable to resolve this, any immediate help is highly appreciated

I have the following setup: UIViewRepresentable with a UIView holding UIScrollView ImageView PKCanvasView this is in order to make it appear as if you are writing on a paper which you can zoom and scroll. The UIImageView is holding the paper image. The problem is if you draw some pen strokes at zoom level 1, then zoom in (say zoom level 2) as soon as you place down the pen, the PKCanvasView starts flickering repeatedly very badly. A sample video is here: https://youtube.com/shorts/5zeq6EDheSM a small sample project showing this is here: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0a0NSLP4bsism69L7jRtZPIhQ#BugDemo

Just installed the new Xcode 26.4 RC build (17E192) after happily using 26.3 for a few months. I'm noticing some immediate regressions in the Intelligence features: Frequent losing of OAuth token (Claude Agent). This had previously been fixed and now is back. Agent "Thinking" is constrained to thought bubble windows, which are (a) too small to read, (b) not scrollable when thinking goes beyond a few paragraphs. Yes they are tappable when thinking is finished, but this doesn't help. Due to (2), in deep thinking, it's impossible to follow progress beyond the visible window, so impossible to know if the agent is going off the rails. I'm noticing just more general slowness to complete tasks. Not just complete them -- it seems like it takes longer to START tasks, which is really weird. It sits there thinking for longer. Same project, same model as before. Every time you tap "New Chat" it presents both Claude and Codex choices, even if you're only signed into one. This turned a simple single tap into now a required two taps. Overall this feels like a frustrating setback after a very positive user experience in 26.3.

I have three rogue iOS simulators, how to correctly delete them and reclaim the disk space? These img files are costing me 18gb of storage.

I’m blocked debugging a watchOS app on a physical Apple Watch. The iPhone connects to Xcode normally (wired), but the Watch either fails to connect with a tunnel timeout or disappears entirely from Xcode after I unpaired it inside Devices & Simulators. Environment Mac: macOS 26.x (Apple Silicon Mac) Xcode: 26.2 iPhone: iOS 26.1 Apple Watch Ultra: watchOS 26.2 (build 23S303) Connection: iPhone connected to Mac via USB (trusted). Watch paired to iPhone and working normally in the Watch app. Issue A (when Watch is visible in Xcode) In Xcode → Window → Devices and Simulators, the Watch shows up but is not usable and fails to connect. Error: “Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.” “Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters.” In some attempts the Watch shows “Capacity: Unknown” / limited details, and then fails during preparation. Issue B (after unpairing Watch in Xcode only) I unpaired/removed the Watch in Xcode (Devices & Simulators). I did not unpair the Watch from the iPhone. Now: iPhone appears in Xcode and works normally for builds. Watch is still paired to the iPhone and works normally. Watch no longer appears anywhere in Xcode Devices & Simulators (no paired watch section, no watch run destination). What I’ve tried Reboots of Mac, iPhone, Watch (multiple times) Watch unlocked, awake; iPhone unlocked and close to Watch Verified Watch is paired and connected in iPhone Watch app Developer Mode enabled on iPhone and Watch Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ON (Mac/iPhone/Watch), tried toggling both Tried on home Wi-Fi and also with iPhone hotspot (same result) Resetting trust prompts / reconnecting iPhone via USB, re-trusting Mac Apple Watch: “Clear Trusted Computers” Xcode: removing/re-adding devices; clearing derived data; restarting Xcode Watch Developer networking test: Responsiveness = Medium (430 RPM) Questions 1. Is this a known issue/regression with Xcode 26.2 + watchOS 26.2 tunneling (CoreDevice / devicectl)? 2. Is there an Apple-supported way to force Xcode to re-discover a paired Watch after it was removed from Xcode Devices & Simulators (without unpairing the Watch from the iPhone)? 3. Any recommended logs or diagnostic steps I should collect (Console logs, sysdiagnose, specific Xcode/CoreDevice logs) to include in a Feedback report? If helpful, I can provide the full error text from Xcode’s Devices window and any logs you recommend. Thank you in advance,

I would like to have the option to keep my xcode project open regardless of closing all tabs using cmd + w.

I am trying to preview my SwiftUI views but Xcode Preview Canvas failing. I tried everything that I found at internet but nothing works. Finally I created a new iOS project that contains only a view import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } Even this view cannot be previewed The error is Simulator was shutdown during an update Simulator [3E0DB935-C4C2-4566-BA48-8E21564C207C] failed to boot and may have crashed. I tried to restart xCode, restart Mac, download ios 26.0 sdk and created a simulator with that sdk but nothing helped. Do you have an idea?

I've got a Project with a bunch of frameworks, each of which has a static library version of itself (for compiling command-line tools that also use the code). Compiling the frameworks goes fine. Compiling one of the static libraries (A Mime-parsing framework) is giving me the rather odd message that a bunch of symbols are ambiguous, but the ambiguity resolves to the same symbol in the error-message... ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:57:18: error: reference to 'E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA' is ambiguous 57 | case E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA: | ^ In file included from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:9: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:17:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA' 17 | E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA, // Enveloped data | ^ In module 'E3Mime' imported from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:8: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:17:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA' 17 | E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA, // Enveloped data | ^ ... and again ... ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:62:18: error: reference to 'E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA' is ambiguous 62 | case E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA: | ^ In file included from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.m:9: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:18:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA' 18 | E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA, // Signed data | ^ In module 'E3Mime' imported from ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:8: ~/src/E3Mail/Frameworks/E3Mime/E3Mime/Message/MIME/E3AppPkcs7Part.h:18:2: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA' 18 | E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA, // Signed data | ^ ... and again, etc ... . No file inside the module (neither .m or .h) includes the module-header, the definition of the offending symbols looks like: // // E3AppPkcs7Part.h // E3Mime // #import <E3Mime/E3CryptoContext.h> #import <E3Mime/E3MimePart.h> #import <E3Mime/E3MimeMultipartEncrypted.h> NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN typedef enum { E3_SMIME_COMPRESSED_DATA, // Compressed data E3_SMIME_ENVELOPED_DATA, // Enveloped data E3_SMIME_SIGNED_DATA, // Signed data E3_SMIME_CERTS_ONLY, // Only certificate data E3_SMIME_UNKNOWN, // Que ? } E3SMimeType; ... And when I click on the error adornment in the editor pane, the errors disappear. It still won't build the project, though. I just get the same errors the next time I press CMD-B. Can't upload a short screen-capture of that, so I put it the movie at http://0x0000ff.co.uk/mov/phantom-errors.mov.

When working in parallel on 2 projects (i.e. a server and a client app project). The Claude Code agents in those projects should be able to communicate with each other to improve the flow of information (i.e. changes in models, DTOs). The developer should supervise the communication and can block, if necessary.

Xcode 16 and 26 changes in painful way how the Tab key works during autocomplete. Previously, pressing Tab would extend the typed text up to the word match. For example, we have two classes: NSViewController and NSViewCoordinator BEFORE, typing: "NSV" + Tab used to complete to NSViewCo Now, in Xcode 26, pressing Tab just use the first suggestion. Stupidly. Especially when you want DispatchQueue and it gaves you DispatchSemaphore… That is very inconvenient because very often I want just see all possible cases with some prefix...without need of typing all prefix manually. How to restore the previous behavior? How to do autocomplete word-by-word?

I'm based in Australia, and am having the following issue. After leaving this message I received another response from someone else who is also havign the same issue, I've pasted that too. I'm quite surprised to not see it mentioned, could be local to language settings or something. Here is the issue: Folk, I am having an issue where Xcode 26.3 with the new iOS26.2+26.3.1 Simulator update installed doesn’t render Unicode characters in the Canvas or in Simulator. They do render when running direct to a device. I’ve reset devices inside Simulator, cleared Derived Data, cleaned Build Folders etc but to no avail! Is anyone else seeing this, I can’t find a mention anywhere!! Thank you in advance. Yep. Same here. Can't see emojis on the emoji picker keyboard.

I'm trying to download the iOS 26.2 simulator, but it fails both in Xcode and via the command line. When I run: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 26.2 -exportPath ~/Downloads It returns: iOS 26.2 is not available for download. I would like to know: Why iOS 26.2 simulator cannot be downloaded at the moment. Whether iOS 26.2 simulator is still available, or if it has been removed or replaced. How to properly get and install the iOS 26.2 simulator. Any official explanation or solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I am working on app at the moment that uses Icon Composer for all of its icons and variations. I want to add an iMessage App to my project however I get validation errors from App Store Connect even if I add an imessage app to my asset catalog and include all app icon assets. Is there any way to do this at the moment natively with Icon Composer? If not how do I manually overwrite the icon JUST for iMessage and not for my entire iOS app?

I work on an SDK, and one of the ways we distribute it is as a pre-compiled static XCFramework. As far as I know, it’s the nature of a static framework to not contain symbols since the framework will be embedded in the final app binary, and the symbols should then be generated. However, when testing the "Validate" function of the Xcode 16 deployment process, our users are receiving a warning that says the framework does not contain symbols. Is my assumption about static frameworks and symbols incorrect? Could this be a bug in Xcode 16? Should we modify something in our framework to inform Xcode that symbols are not needed?

For me it looks like Xcode 26 has problems reading SPM packages from a locally hosted BitBucket git solution. While Xcode 16 work perfectly fine, Xcode 26 fails to load and gives "Server SSH Fingerprint Failed to Verify" as error description. Cleaning build data and DerivedData sometimes makes loading work. Any change in Package dependencies will break it again. Anyone having same problems? How do you handle it?

Have a peculiar problem I'm not able to solve. Working on an app with a mapview in the max zoomed out globe level. For some reason this morning Xcode froze/crashed when I was working and I had to force quit to get it back up. Then a new issue of graphical artifacts on the space section of the Mapview showed up. This Tuesday has now been spent in full on trying to solve this to no avail. I created a new project for iOS/iPadOS and added a similar map implementation. It works fine. I used Claude to help me after a few reinstalls of Xcode with this. I asked claude to summarize - this is what has been done: Claude generative AI summary starts here---------- Here's a complete summary of everything attempted: The Problem SwiftUI tvOS app with MapKit globe view showing severe rendering artifacts — corrupted pixels surrounding the globe. Started after Xcode crashed while the tvOS simulator was actively running. iOS simulator, macOS Maps app, and all native apps work perfectly. Only tvOS simulator MapKit is affected. Hardware Confirmed Fine Geekbench 6 Metal GPU score: 124,666 (normal for M1 Max) Apple Diagnostics (Apple Silicon method): No issues found macOS Maps globe renders perfectly Everything That Was Attempted Simulator resets: Erased all simulator content and settings Created brand new simulator devices Deleted derived data Killed CoreSimulator service Runtime reinstalls: Removed and reinstalled tvOS platform runtime multiple times Tested on Xcode 26.3 and 26.4 beta — same issue on both Installed fresh tvOS runtime after full Xcode reinstall Cache clearing: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.CoreSimulator ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.iphonesimulator.savedState All Metal shader caches in /private/var/folders/ including: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRenderingServices.SimMetalHost com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRenderingServices.SimRenderServer com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService com.apple.iphonesimulator com.apple.dt.Xcode com.apple.dt.xcodebuild com.apple.CoreSimulator.simctl ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/XcodeToMetalToolchainIndexMapping.plist ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/SDKToSimulatorIndexMapping.plist ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData Full Xcode reinstall: Deleted Xcode completely Removed ~/Library/Developer Removed all Xcode-related caches and preferences Fresh install from Mac App Store APFS simulator volume cleanup (required disabling SIP): Discovered 138GB of orphaned APFS simulator volumes in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/ that were protected by SIP and couldn't be deleted normally These volumes were left in a corrupted/limbo state from the original Xcode crash Temporarily disabled SIP via Recovery Mode Successfully deleted all orphaned volumes Re-enabled SIP Reinstalled fresh tvOS runtime Metal Toolchain: Found three leftover Metal Toolchains (17A324, 17A5241c, 17A5295f) in Xcode settings Cleared toolchain index mapping file Reinstalled fresh Metal Toolchain with new tvOS runtime Current State Fresh Xcode installation Fresh tvOS runtime All simulator volumes cleared SIP re-enabled Issue still persists What Has NOT Been Checked /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Cryptex /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Images /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles Conclusion This is almost certainly a bug triggered by the hard Xcode crash corrupting something at a level that has survived complete reinstallation of Xcode and all simulator components. The corruption is somewhere in a system-level component that normal developer tools cannot reach. Requires Apple Developer Technical Support or escalation via Feedback Assistant with the full timeline and screenshots. For Apple's reference: Machine: MacBook Pro M1 Max Xcode: 26.3 / 26.4 beta (both affected) Started: After hard Xcode crash while tvOS simulator was actively rendering MapKit globe Affected: tvOS simulator MapKit globe only Not affected: iOS simulator, macOS Maps, all native apps ----------(Claude generative AI summary ends here) ----------- Anyone seen this before? Absolutely wild. Can't think of more things to try. Been eyeing a new Macbook for a while. Strange coincidence that the new M5 Macbook Pros dropped today :D But in sum it does not seem like a GPU issue since the same rendering works on the iOS sim. Thanks!

Can I download the iOS 26 simulator runtime via a download link? The machine I need to deploy on may require an offline package installation due to firewall restrictions.

In the Coding Intelligence feature introduced in Xcode 26, when I send a message using ChatGPT in Xcode, the message “Your request couldn't be completed. Networking error.” appears and I’m unable to use the feature. I suspect the issue may be related to the VPN or network proxy connected to my Mac and am attempting to investigate. However, Xcode does not display any specific error details, nor does it provide a way to view them, which makes a detailed investigation difficult. Next to the error message, there is a feedback button rather than a stethoscope (🩺) button, and the feedback window does not provide access to the underlying error information. Is there a way to view the detailed network error logs generated by ChatGPT in Xcode? (I am using Xcode 26.0.1.)
