I'm running Xcode 26.2 (17C52). After deleting all simulators and creating new ones, SwiftUI Preview stopped working. Xcode reports: “Simulator [D774B214-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX8288] failed to boot and may have crashed.” However, when I list all available simulators using xcrun simctl list, there is no simulator with that identifier. It seems Xcode is still referencing a previously deleted simulator. I have tried: Deleting all simulators again Creating new simulators Restarting Xcode and the system But the issue persists and Preview still fails to launch. Has anyone encountered this issue or knows how to clear the cached simulator reference used by SwiftUI Preview?

I have a framework, which depends on a library (GPGME) to do its actual encryption. As a consequence of using this external library, there are header files which have GPGME types in them... @interface E3Gpgme : NSObject ... /*****************************************************************************\ |* Call GPGME to sign \*****************************************************************************/ - (int) signWithMode:(gpgme_sig_mode_t)mode userId:(NSString *)signingKeyOrEmail srcStream:(E3Stream *)src dstStream:(E3Stream *)dst error:(NSError **)error; ... @end . This means the E3Gpgme class header file has to #import <gpgme.h> to get those type definitions. That is then proving problematic because the framework modularisation fails, with <e3gpgme.h> obviously not being a part of the framework, so the project refuses to build. I can see a few ways around this: Just don't run the modularisation check. That doesn't sound like a fantastic option import the GPGME headers (there's only 2) into the project and bundle them as if they were project ones. Again, not a great option, I don't expect GPGME to change its API but it runs the risk of there being a mismatch in future if the library code itself remains external. So what's the best-practice for requiring a dependency on a library, not a framework ? Is there a way to copy the library binary into a folder inside the framework folder and make sure you link with that ? Assuming that's the shared library it ought to still be ok for the LGPL licensing... Is there a better way ? I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this :)

I am editing my iOS project in Xcode 16 and want to use the "Swift Compiler - Upcoming Features" section of the build settings to selectively enable the new Swift 6 language features. I have read the instructions for doing this and have dowloaded an Apple sample project and can see that section under the project and target-level Build Settings in the sample project However, when I open my Xcode project in XCode 16 that section does not appear. Is there any way for me to influence how Xcode 16 displays the build settings? In fact, no "Swift Compiler" sections appear at all under my project Build Settings (All | Combined). There is a "User-Defined" section that has the Swift Version, Compilation Mode and Optimization level. The project itself is several years old and was on a very old project version. I have upgraded my project document format to "Xcode 16" but it made no difference. I have compared my project and the sample project in a text editor and both seem to have similar structure. I tried removing unused and outdated settings from my project but that also had no effect. Is there an alternative to deleting my project file and adding the source files to it? I have a large project with multiple targets so that would be something I'd rather not do.

Is there a way to change the model to Opus it's using sonnet. I have a claude code max x2 subscription.

My project is complete, I successfully compile the application, but when I try to run it on my simulator it gives an error, stating that the architecture is incorrect, even though it is parameterized for ARM architecture. Note: the application runs on my iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello! I started to develop a Mac application in Xcode 15, under MacOS 13. I made several commits in this environment. Later, I switched to another Mac and continued the development in Xcode 26.2, under MacOS 26. Since then, I haven't been able to make commits. I staged the changes, inserted the message, but the commit button is inactive (non-clickable), as shown in the picture. Can anyone help me to get it to work again? Thank you in advance.

I have got 26.3 running, signed in with calude max account and open ai plus account, but codex and claude agent "get " button is greyed out. I have apple intelligence turned on.. I can only use sonnet 4.5 inside xcode. anyone has an idea about whhy>?

After updated to Tahoe 26.2 and Xcode 26.2 it seems to have forgotten the Model Provider I had configured. I create a new Model Provider and it works fine, until I exit Xcode. When I open Xcode again my Model Provider is gone. It all worked fine before I did the updates of MacOS and Xcode.

When I use Xcode 26 (0.1, 1) for debugging and hit a breakpoint, using "step over" causes the debugger to freeze at a random line of code. Clicking "Pause program execution" indicates that the line is being executed, but the breakpoint never exits, seemingly causing a freeze. The application on the simulator also becomes unresponsive. However, when I do not use breakpoints, my program runs smoothly, and debugging on a physical device does not cause any freezes. This issue only occurs with the simulator. I am using Xcode on Apple Silicon, and due to some third-party SDKs that depend on Rosetta, our app can only run on the Rosetta simulator. We did not encounter this issue when using Xcode 16.x for simulator debugging. The current situation with Xcode 26.x significantly reduces our development efficiency. What could be causing this, and is there a solution?

When I start a Simulator (iPhone 13 mini) with iOS 26 and activate "Use the Same Keyboard Language as macOS", it still sets the keyboard to US (my Mac keyboard is in German). This makes the Mac keyboard unusable. It looks like a bug, because it clearly ignores the settings. When I type “@”, I get “¬”. Restarting the simulator did nothing, changing the settings back and forth also. BTW: Why does every single update of XCode come with a bug nowadays? I always have to spend half a day after an update to fix a problem I didn't have before. Highly frustrating.

I am trying to upgrade my app to use Xcode 26 and I cannot get my tests to launch. I am trying to launch tests to the simulator, and I always get this error after 300 second timeout: "encountered an error (The test runner hung before establishing connection.)" There are no other errors getting logged. I can run to the same simulator just fine, and in Xcode 16 the tests launch with no issues. The tests also run fine on an actual iPhone. Thanks in advance.

I’m attempting to install the Metal toolchain in Xcode, but the installation keeps hanging. Through Xcode, it stops at the “Processing” step, and via the terminal, it never goes past “Beginning asset download…”.

While debugging a Swift application in Xcode, LLDB crashes with an assertion failure related to LLDBMemoryReader and pointer authentication. The issue occurs during normal debugging (e.g. inspecting variables or stack frames), and causes the debugger to become unusable.

Hey folks, Looking for some assistance with using an API key with xcodebuild commands to archive/export builds on our Enterprise developer account. The goal here is to allow Xcode to completely manage signing/certificates with our cloud distribution certificate, since these builds are happening in CI and we don't want to be manually handling user sessions/certificates on these machines. This is working great with our App Store account, but with our Enterprise account we're getting errors both archiving and exporting the builds. Here's an example of an export command that is giving errors: xcodebuild -exportArchive -exportOptionsPlist /path/to/exportOptions.plist -archivePath /path/to/archive.xcarchive -exportPath /path/to/export -authenticationKeyID *** -authenticationKeyIssuerID *** -authenticationKeyPath /path/to/key.p8 -allowProvisioningUpdates I've put some example values there, but we've double/triple checked the real values when this is actually running. These are the errors we're getting: 2026-02-02 12:30:04.022 xcodebuild[59722:1854348] DVTServices: Received response for 0794248F-E534-474D-ABBF-40C1375B6590 @ <https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/xcbuild/QH65B2/listTeams.action?clientId=XABBG36SBA>.

If you add a new string in your app (for example String(localized: "contact_support_message", defaultValue: "Please contact support")), then later you change that default value and rebuild, the string catalog updates to match as expected. But once that string is translated, changing the default value in code and rebuilding does not update the catalog. You seemingly have to go manually change the default value for English in the catalog to match the code (which marks the translation as Needs Review). Is there a better way? Or is there a way to determine what strings have default values in code that do not match the catalog values to see if any were missed as wording was tweaked over time?

HiSuppose i made a macOS App and want to connect to Oracle or mySQL Database I heard best way is using JSON which i dontknow anything about it, where can I find good reading about it thats specifically related to macOS or iOS Apps ?--Kindest Regards

Hello, I created a code in Xcode on my Mac. Once it was debugged I tried to run it on a simulator. Every time I run it on a simulator I get the white screen with the spinning red box. I'm very new at this and I am creating this app for my own child. As a teacher I couldn't stand the other math fact apps. You'll have to talk to me like an infant.

When using Team “57AWJ345M2” and setting the project’s Bundle ID to “com.marsgame.fg2”, enabling the iCloud capability and checking Key-Value Storage results in the following error:"Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.marsgame.fg2" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier entitlement." This issue does not occur if we use a different Team or a different Bundle ID. The project was transferred from another Team to this new Team, and everything worked fine before the transfer. Additionally, we have tried creating a brand new project, but as long as we use this same Team and this same Bundle ID, the error still occurs when enabling Key-Value Storage.

Provisioning profile doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.nfc.hce.iso7816.select-identifier-prefixes entitlement. Although when we created the request, we added a list of AIDs which is the same as the list registered in Inof.plist <key>com.apple.developer.nfc.hce.iso7816.select-identifier-prefixes</key> <array> <string>XXXXXX</string> <string>XXXXXX</string> <string>XXXXXX</string> </array> How can we get a better message of diffs between them?
