Instruments Malfunction
I’m reporting a severe reproducible issue in Instruments, specifically when using the SwiftUI instrument and opening Show Cause & Effect Graph. What happens: • Instruments becomes extremely laggy/unresponsive • The graph/detail area can turn solid magenta/pink • Memory usage rapidly increases (I observed around 18 GB, 25 GB, and up to 34 GB) • My Mac has crashed/restarted during this, or in other terms, had a kernel panic, where my Mac froze, and everything unresponsive. The Trackpad wouldn't even click. Important detail: • I could not find a generated kernel panic log after the crash/restart. Repro context: • SwiftUI iOS app profiled from Xcode • Trigger is specifically entering Show Cause & Effect Graph • Recordings can be short and still trigger it • Issue is much less severe or absent if I avoid that view What I already tried: • Rebooting • Short captures / fewer instruments • Clearing Xcode/Instruments caches/preferences • Retesting after cleanup • Reinstalling Xcode Is this a known Instruments regression? Is there a workaround besides avoiding Show Cause & Effect Graph? What exact diagnostics should I collect when no kernel panic file is generated? Specs: Xcode Version 26.3 (17C529) Instruments Version 26.3 (17C529) macOS Version 26.4 Beta (25E5223i) MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020, 16 GB RAM

Working in parallel on 2 projects with Claude Code agents. Agents should be able to communicate with each other.
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.

Dev Acct membership enrollment limbo
I signed up for membership on Monday March 16th. It took my credit card info and put me in ‘Pending’ state. My cc was charges $99 but when I go back to my account it has a box for me to continue to signup for membership where it asks to charge my account again. I tried using the account support where it asks to with provider a phone number to call me or to send an email. I chose phone. It called me almost immediately but it was already in the middle of explaining options to select. And before I could get to my keypad it said that my time had expired. ‘Good Bye’. I went back to try again and saw a case id assigned. But it would not let me do another callback or email. Instead I got “Error processing your request”. I’ve tried for 3 hours trying to find another channel to get help. They have my money and I dont have membership. can anyone suggest where I go from here?

GST Tax Form Question
I am in the end stages of creating my app and apple is saying I need to include Business number and GST (RT) number - I'm Canadian and not sure how this applies to developers in other countries. Just wondering if any developers from Canada can shed light on this process of getting a GST number, the CRA is saying you can create a GST account/number once your business reaches $30,000 is revenue so its seems different than what Apple is saying to do. This is my first time creating an app and I'm a solo developer.

Broken autocomplete in Xcode 26
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?

Xcode 26.3 not rendering Unicode/Emoji in Simulator or Canvas
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.

iOS 26.2 Simulator is not available for download
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!

iMessage App Icon with Icon Composer
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?

Apple Business Account Verification Stuck, No Response After Multiple Submissions
Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to set up a business account on the Apple Developer Console, and I’ve run into a really frustrating issue. Last month, I was asked to submit additional documents for verification. I submitted everything as requested and received a confirmation email: “Thank you for providing the documents we requested. We will review them and follow up with you within two business days.” However, weeks passed with no update. About 1–2 weeks ago, I reached out to support again. I was asked to re-submit the same documents, which I did. Once again, I received the same confirmation email stating a response would come within two business days. It’s now been 7 days since that second submission, and still no response. At this point, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or if this is just a delay on Apple’s side. What’s more confusing is that we’ve successfully created developer accounts on other platforms (like Google Play) using the same business information and DUNS number, with verification completed in under 24 hours. Has anyone experienced something similar with Apple Developer business verification? Is there something specific Apple looks for that I might be missing, or is this just a backlog/delay issue? Would really appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks 🙏

Xcode 16 warning about missing symbols of static framework
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?

Xcode 26 fails to load SPM packages
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?

tvOS Simulator (also Xcode Canvas) Mapview Artifacts After Xcode Crash (26.3)
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.

Quick questions for xcode cloud build
We're investigating using xcode cloud to do our CI builds. We have our own on-prem self-managed GitLab behind a private firewall. Some questions on this: I see some IP's for Apple here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-up-your-project-to-use-xcode-cloud#Use-a-remote-source-control-repository Do these IP's ever change? Are there specific ports Apple uses? Would be nice to limit to only what's needed. Do we have to open in-bound access or can we instead have our builds reach out with an outbound only setup?

Quick questions for xcode cloud build
We're investigating using xcode cloud to do our CI builds. We have our own on-prem self-managed GitLab behind a private firewall. Some questions on this: I see some IP's for Apple here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-up-your-project-to-use-xcode-cloud#Use-a-remote-source-control-repository Do these IP's ever change? Are there specific ports Apple uses? Would be nice to limit to only what's needed. Do we have to open in-bound access or can we instead have our builds reach out with an outbound only setup?
