When you try to reset settings through the Apple Vision Pro simulator (VisionOS 2.4) you get an error "Preferences quit unexpectedly". Bug report: FB17666053

I used fastlane to package and upload the test package to TestFlight. However, the account in Xcode is often logged out automatically without any prompts. In Xcode, I logged in with the developer account to automatically manage certificates, provisioning profiles, signatures, etc. For the fastlane upload, I used a Application-specific passwords. Does anyone know what could be the reason? I'm almost driven crazy.

Is anybody able to save the autocreated testplan successfully with Xcode 16.3? I get a crash no matter what (different filenames, locations, machines, ...). Now created a template project: same thing. Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) on macOS 15.5 (24F74) Known issue, or am I holding it wrong?

Upon updating to Xcode 16.3, my StoreKit2 unit testing suite encountered a malfunction. let result = await product.purchase() The code snippet above simply halts execution, preventing the task from progressing. In a regular environment, everything appear to function correctly.

I am encountering an issue while running my CarPlay app in the simulator using CPListTemplate. On app launch, when I tap on the first item in the list and then tap on the second item, both items remain selected instead of only the latest tapped item. This behavior does not align with the expected single-item selection functionality. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a workaround or a known resolution for this behavior?

So Xcode has projects. And I breakup my code/libraries/targets into those. So why after 20 years of Xcode, can a workspace, that holds projects not display the same project opened in another workspace? The workspace redirects all output the project would normally generate in DerivedData to a completely different folder by default. What this means is I have to shut one workspace, and then open the other workspace with a different set of projects to see the ones that are shared. The workspace can't build because it can't open the project shared with another one that is open. VS sln files don't have this issue, so why do workspace files.

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!

I'm unable to use Organizer due to this error. The app shown in the error message is an old, unused test app. I'd delete it if I could, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. The app is named "@Home Test" and I suspect that the @ character is what's causing the problem. I need to use Organizer for a completely different app on another team, but I can't get past this.

Hi, I have a project that is based on a GPL library. The GPL library has some issue since early 2024 that requires it to be run on XCode 15.2. Any XCode above 15.2 will only give you "Invalid MinimumOSVersion." and "Missing Info.plist value." errors. So I installed 15.2 again. But now I have another problem because it can only run on Ventura. How do I run XCode 15.2 on my Sequoia MacOS? I hate to reinstall the OS all again. Thank you.

SWIFTUI LAYERING ISSUE: BACKGROUND ALWAYS APPEARS IN FRONT OF CONTENT THE PROBLEM I'm facing a frustrating issue in my SwiftUI macOS app where a background RoundedRectangle is consistently displaying in front of my content instead of behind it. This isn't an intermittent issue - it never works correctly. The colored background is always rendering on top of the text and icons, making the content completely unreadable. Here's my current implementation: private func sceneRow(for scene: Scene, index: Int) -> some View { ZStack(alignment: .leading) { // Hidden text to force view updates when state changes Text("$$noteStateTracker)") .frame(width: 0, height: 0) .opacity(0) // 1. Background rectangle explicitly at the bottom layer RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6) .fill(sceneBackgroundColor(for: scene)) .padding(.horizontal, 4) // 2. Content explicitly on top HStack { Image(systemName: "line.3.horizontal") .foregroundColor(.blue) .frame(width: 20) Text("$$index). $$truncateTitle(scene.title.isEmpty ? "Untitled Scene" : scene.title))") .foregroundColor(selectedScene?.id == scene.id ? .blue : .primary) .fontWeight(selectedScene?.id == scene.id ? .bold : .regular) Spacer() if scene.isComplete { Image(systemName: "checkmark.circle.fill") .foregroundColor(.green) .font(.system(size: 12)) .padding(.trailing, 8) } } .padding(.vertical, 4) .padding(.leading, 30) } .contentShape(Rectangle()) .onTapGesture { selectedChapter = chapter selectedScene = scene } .onDrag { NSItemProvider(object: "$$scene.id.uuidString)|scene" as NSString) } .onDrop(of: ["public.text"], isTargeted: Binding( get: { hoveredSceneID == scene.id }, set: { isTargeted in hoveredSceneID = isTargeted ? scene.id : nil } )) { providers in handleSceneDrop(providers, scene, chapter) } .contextMenu { Button("Rename Scene") { sceneToRename = scene newSceneTitleForRename = scene.title newSceneDescriptionForRename = scene.description isRenamingScene = true } Button(role: .destructive) { confirmDeleteScene(scene, chapter) } label: { Label("Delete Scene", systemImage: "trash") } } } Despite explicitly ordering elements in the ZStack with the background first (which should place it at the bottom of the stack), the RoundedRectangle always renders on top of the text and icons. WHAT I'VE TRIED I've attempted multiple approaches but nothing works: ZStack with explicit zIndex values ZStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6) .fill(sceneBackgroundColor(for: scene)) .padding(.horizontal, 4) .zIndex(1) HStack { /* content */ } .padding(.vertical, 4) .padding(.leading, 30) .zIndex(2) } No effect - background still appears on top. Using .background() modifier instead of ZStack HStack { /* content */ } .padding(.vertical, 4) .padding(.leading, 30) .background( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6) .fill(sceneBackgroundColor(for: scene)) .padding(.horizontal, 4) ) Same issue - the background still renders in front of the content. Custom container view with GeometryReader struct SceneRowContainer: View { var background: Background var content: Content init(@ViewBuilder background: @escaping () -> Background, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping () -> Content) { self.background = background() self.content = content() } var body: some View { GeometryReader { geometry in // Background rendered first background .frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height) .position(x: geometry.size.width/2, y: geometry.size.height/2) // Content rendered second content .frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height) .position(x: geometry.size.width/2, y: geometry.size.height/2) } } } This changed the sizing of the components but didn't fix the layering issue. NSViewRepresentable approach I tried implementing a custom NSViewRepresentable that manually manages the view hierarchy: struct LayerOrderView: NSViewRepresentable { let background: () -> Background let content: () -> Content func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSView { let containerView = NSView() // Add background hosting view first (should be behind) let backgroundView = NSHostingView(rootView: background()) containerView.addSubview(backgroundView) // Add content hosting view second (should be in front) let contentView = NSHostingView(rootView: content()) containerView.addSubview(contentView) // Setup constraints... return containerView } func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSView, context: Context) { // Update views... } } Even this direct AppKit approach didn't work correctly. Using .drawingGroup() ZStack { // Background RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6) .fill(sceneBackgroundColor(for: scene)) .padding(.horizontal, 4) // Content HStack { /* content */ } .padding(.vertical, 4) .padding(.leading, 30) } .drawingGroup(opaque: false) Still no success - the background remains in front. PROJECT CONTEXT macOS app using SwiftUI Scene contents need to be displayed on top of colored backgrounds The view uses state tracking with a noteStateTracker UUID that updates when certain changes occur App needs to maintain gesture recognition for taps, drag and drop, and context menus The issue is completely reproducible 100% of the time - the background is always in front WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE I need a reliable solution to ensure that the background color (RoundedRectangle) renders behind the HStack content. The current behavior makes the text content completely unreadable since it's hidden behind the colored background. Has anyone found a workable solution for this seemingly basic layering problem in SwiftUI on macOS? Thank you for any help, Benjamin

Hey iOS Dev's, I’m currently working on a Swift Package Manager (SPM) for WireGuard, originally developed by a previous team member. It was working fine in Xcode 15.2, but after upgrading to Xcode 16 and Swift 6, I need to update the SPM to ensure compatibility with my base projects and other projects relying on it. With Apple making Xcode 16 mandatory for app submissions starting April 24, this has become an urgent issue. I’ve searched extensively but haven’t found a working solution yet. Has anyone faced similar challenges with Swift 6 migration and SPM updates? Any insights, best practices, or debugging tips would be greatly appreciated! Let’s connect and collaborate—I’d love to discuss possible solutions! 😊 #iOSDevelopment #Swift6 #Xcode16 #SPM #WireGuard #iOS #Swift #SoftwareEngineering #AppStore

Hi, I don't understand why Xcode fails to build my app when following logic was uncommented as part of ternary operator (as highlighted in attachment). Can somebody help me please ?? Thx. ... : shelterViewModel.getShelter(row: row, column: column).productId == ... ? Color.yellow ...

Hi Experts, Could you please help. Issue at high level: After Editing a View contains a Table entries, saved and hit back button to display View, Table entries are duplicated or displaying previous and current entries together. Here is my Issue in detailed. List view display, clicking on any row, would navigate to DisplayView of a record. I am displaying a table in DisplayView. DisplayView contains "row" as parameter, and it must be initialized in "init" method, where I use row.key and fetch another table (say ColorTab) using Color.Key. DisplayView contains "NavigationView", with Edit button. it displays fetched Colors. example Red and Green. when user click on Edit, it takes to EditPage. user can remove / add colors. Once user made changes, saved and hit back button. Table entries are duplicated or showing previous and current entries. Options tried, a) init method is only triggering 1st time, not triggering when back button clicked, I failed to use FetchRequest outside of init method, I tried on OnAppear too. i didn't trigger. b) Failed to use FetchRequest inside of var Body too. c) tried using viewContext.refreshAllObjects() .. it is not refreshing the table. Could you please help if there is solution for the issue. Thanks, Bhanu

I am new to Xcode and trying to learn how to use Metal for my internship. I am trying to link the binaries of Foundation.framework, Metal.framework, and Quartcore.framework. But whenever I try to build it always fails to find any of them. I have my Header Search Path as $(PROJECT_DIR)/metal-cpp, I tried adding some for the Frameworks but that did not work either. I do have the binaries linked in the Build Phases, so I don't know what else I could be missing.

for instance: po [NSBundle mainBundle] 0x0000600002130000 p [NSBundle mainBundle] (NSBundle *) 0x0000600002130000 p [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] error: Execution was interrupted, reason: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0). The process has been returned to the state before expression evaluation. I am in debug mode

why my Xcode organizer can not show Hangs

I have an AppleTV app which I released in 2016. I've updated it and released a new version every year without much hassle. This year, with tvOS 17.2, the layered app icon isn't working right. This is a two-layer image made with PNGs. When it's selected, it looks right and the layers move correctly: But when it's not selected, the background layer disappears: Screenshots are from the simulator but it also happens on the device. It's inconsistent; sometimes it's the front layer that disappears. Occasionally both layers work, but I can't tell why. I've spent a day trying everything. Very frustrated. The icon previews correctly in Xcode and in Parallax Viewer. The image sizes are correct: 400 x 240 for Small, 800 x 480 for Small@2x, 1280 x 768 for Large. The back layer is a non-transparent PNG. I tried adding a Large@2x set. Didn't help. Originally I had a three-layer image with no middle layer PNG. I deleted the empty middle layer, but that didn't help. All the PNG files are from GnuIMP. Same color space, even. I was using the filenames tvicon-back-s.png and tvicon-back-s@2x.png. I tried taking out the @ sign in case that was confusing Xcode. (It never has before, but I am flailing here.) Anybody have any clues? If it's an Apple bug and there's nothing I can do, I'm going to just push the release button and hope it fixes itself someday.

Neither a google search, nor a search of the Apple forums give me a clue as to how to locate or fix the following message I get from Xcode. CLIENT: Failure to determine if this machine is in the process of shutting down, err=1/Operation not permitted This error message came from attempting to build and execute an iOS App which ran just fine the last time I built it. Now, that was actually a little over two years ago. This is an iOS app, which I've run successfully for more than a year on macOS, and that, "My Mac (Designed for iPad)", is what my build target for this run was. Any ideas? Anyone? If this is a "known condition", just why doesn't a friendly internet search or a search of the Apple forums NOT tell me what it means, or what causes the message. Of course, I've upgraded the OS a few times, and updated Xcode as well, but have just not had any time to monkey around with my pet code project. Now that I've gotten some time, and I want to see what's new since March of '23, I finally remember where I stashed my code repository and decided to take it for a spin. Sure, I expect(ed) to see Xcode tell me that the version of Swift has been updated, and maybe some code constructs need to be fixed. But, NO, the code compiles fine. The first build attempt told me that I needed to update my provisioning profiles, and sign-in and agree to the updated developer agreements, which I did. Not so unhelpful was the code window in the debugger: libswiftCore.dylib`swift_willThrow: -> 0x1aeb7b2a0 <+0>: pacibsp 0x1aeb7b2a4 <+4>: str x19, [sp, #-0x20]! 0x1aeb7b2a8 <+8>: stp x29, x30, [sp, #0x10] 0x1aeb7b2ac <+12>: add x29, sp, #0x10 0x1aeb7b2b0 <+16>: adrp x8, 365651 0x1aeb7b2b4 <+20>: add x8, x8, #0x88 ; _swift_willThrow 0x1aeb7b2b8 <+24>: ldapr x8, [x8] 0x1aeb7b2bc <+28>: cbnz x8, 0x1aeb7b2cc ; <+44> 0x1aeb7b2c0 <+32>: ldp x29, x30, [sp, #0x10] 0x1aeb7b2c4 <+36>: ldr x19, [sp], #0x20 0x1aeb7b2c8 <+40>: retab 0x1aeb7b2cc <+44>: mov x0, x21 0x1aeb7b2d0 <+48>: mov x19, x21 0x1aeb7b2d4 <+52>: blraaz x8 0x1aeb7b2d8 <+56>: mov x21, x19 0x1aeb7b2dc <+60>: b 0x1aeb7b2c0 ; <+32> Still not much to go on. I decide to see if it was a macOS vs. iOS issue, so did a clean build folder and tried running on an iPad simulator, "iPad (10th generation)". Now, I have a blank white screen on my simulator and not much to go on in the code window. import SwiftUI @main struct JottoApp: App { Thread1: Breakpoint 1.1 var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } init() { UITableView.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor.clear } } Any and all help with this error message will be appreciated.

I am using my real device and the Xcode Preview which works pretty fine. I do not want to show an empty canvas pane all the time. But when hiding the canvas, the preview pauses. I tried the refresh shortkey (OPT + CMD + P), too, while canvas is invisible. Why must the canvas be visible even there is no content besides "Previewing on iPhone from..." Info? I hope there is a workaround to hide the canvas while pushing to real devices.
