When I compile my Xcode project using the xcodebuild command, I observe long incremental build durations. For example, compiling a new, empty project in Xcode only takes around one second. The same project takes 7 seconds to compile using the xcodebuild command. I've noticed that xcodebuild hangs at the "GatherProvisioningInputs" phase. Steps to Reproduce: Create a new Xcode project (iOS app template) Build the project in Xcode with timing summary enabled Build the same project from the command line with the following command: time xcodebuild -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15 Pro,OS=latest' I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to improve the build times when using the xcodebuild command. Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm unable to download the Metal toolchain with Xcode. When trying to do it via the command line, I get the following: > xcodebuild -downloadComponent metalToolchain -exportPath /tmp/MyMetalExport/ Beginning asset download... 2025-08-06 19:46:19.983 xcodebuild[1395:22024] Writing error result bundle to /var/folders/48/1k1jfsxn56zcs4qr_719rc1w0000gn/T/ResultBundle_2025-06-08_19-46-0019.xcresult xcodebuild: error: Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain), serverParameters ({ RequestedBuild = 17A5295f; }) From Console.app: DVTDownloadsFetchAssetCatalog() complete assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain), options: (MADownloadOptions allowsCellular: 0 resourceTimeout: 60 canUseCacheServer: 0 discretionary: 0 disableUI: 0 sessionId: (null) additionalServerParams:{ RequestedBuild = 17A5295f; } allowsExpensiveAccess:1 requiresPowerPluggedIn: 0 prefersInfraWiFi: 1 liveServerOnly: -1 DownloadAuthorizationHeader: not present analyticsData: not present allowDaemonConnectionRetries: 0), result: (59), catalogError: (Download failed due to not being able to find the host.

I work on some proprietary codebases and can only use private AI services with them (currently MiniMax M2.1 and GLM 4.7). It all works great with both Claude Code and OpenCode agents, and I'd like to leverage the new agentic capabilities that are now in Xcode 26.3. I'm not seeing any option to connect to OpenCode, and both the Anthropic and OpenAI providers require an enterprise account (which I don't have access to). Are there any options that I'm missing here?

With Xcode 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f) when I run the following command xcodebuild -downloadComponent metalToolchain I get the following error: xcodebuild[48851:12478851] Writing error result bundle to /var/folders/b_/g67r_tl557z244g20ncr_qmsd9wrz1/T/ResultBundle_2025-07-08_11-10-0012.xcresult xcodebuild: error: Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain), serverParameters ({ RequestedBuild = 17A5295f; }) I can't install the toolchain from the Xcode GUI also. Does someone know a workaround ?

I have been working for a while now. Never encountered this issue. After accepting the invite from the organization. The organizations does not appear at developer apple account. But can see the organization at app store connect. Yes i have checked the account permissions. I have the admin role and developer role etc is checked everything is correct. This is not just me happening with my colleague as well.

Hello, I am writing this post because the Apple Developer Program enrollment process is clearly malfunctioning, and I have reached a point where this situation is unacceptable. First payment I initially purchased the Apple Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was fully completed, confirmed by my bank, and I received the official Apple Store receipt. • Order ID: W1557478965 • Amount: 1029 TRY • Status: Completed / Posted Despite this, my account continued to show: • “Purchase your membership” • Enrollment status: Pending • No access to App Store Connect After several days with no response from Apple Support and no activation, I assumed something had gone wrong on Apple’s side. Second payment Because I was completely blocked and received no reply from support or the forums, I made a second payment to rule out any payment failure. • Order ID: W1694587309 • Amount: 1029 TRY • Status: Completed / Posted Current situation At this point: • Two separate payments • Two unique Apple Store order IDs • Zero activation • Zero response from Apple Support • Enrollment still Pending • App Store Connect still inaccessible Support case details: • Apple Support Case ID: 102769533427 • Multiple follow-ups sent • No reply • No action taken This is no longer a delay — this is a system-level failure. I have paid twice for a single Developer Program membership and received nothing in return: no activation, no explanation, and no support. I am formally requesting manual intervention by Apple staff to: 1. Immediately activate my Apple Developer Program membership 2. Investigate and resolve the duplicate payment (refund or clarification) 3. Explain why a paid enrollment can remain blocked with no support response If this forum is monitored by Apple employees, this issue requires urgent escalation. This situation should not happen in a paid developer program. Thank you.

Since upgrading my iPhone 13 Pro Max to iOS 26, apps have become nearly impossible to debug. The recent update to iOS 26.1 has made this even worse. Going from app start to a fully rendered & responding screen takes <1 second on a Debug build when no debugger is attached, but with the debugger attached I get these times (measured manually with a stopwatch): First render: <1 second without debugger 5 seconds on USB debugger 30 seconds on wireless debugger Data loaded from webserver and UI responding: <1 second without debugger 19 seconds on USB debugger 5 minutes on wireless debugger! Doing an online speed test reports 55 Mbps for the phone and 60 Mbps on the MacBook, so I doubt it's my WiFi. Having a debugger attached used to make minimal difference on iOS 18, but the performance has tanked completely since the last major release. What happened?

Hello All, I am currently working through ”Keep going with Apps” in Swift Playground. The section in the tutorial “Add a DancingCreature view” will not complete. I have tried to type it is as written in the tutorial and even used the copy and paste button provided. I have restarted the app and my IPad with no success. I have attached a screen shot of the tutorial prompt. Here is the code block: import SwiftUI import Guide struct DancingCreatures: View { //#-learning-code-snippet(varDeclaration) @EnvironmentObject var data : CreatureZoo var body: some View { SPCAssessableGroup(view: self) { VStack { ZStack { /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ ForEach(data.creatures) { creature in /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ Text(creature.emoji) .resizableFont() .offset(creature.offset) .rotationEffect(creature.rotation) /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ } } ZStack { /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ ForEach(data.creatures) { creature in /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ Text(creature.emoji) .resizableFont() .offset(creature.offset) .rotationEffect(creature.rotation) /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ //#-learning-code-snippet(exp1) //#-learning-code-snippet(animationSolution) //#-learning-code-snippet(exp3) } } /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ .onTapGesture { data.randomizeOffsets() } /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ .onTapGesture { data.randomizeOffsets() } /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ } } } } struct DancingCreatures_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { DancingCreatures().environmentObject(CreatureZoo()) } } Device information: IPad Pro (11 inch, 2nd gen) iPad OS Version: 26.0.1 Playground Version: 4.6.4 Anyone else come across this? Thank you in advance.

I've been getting intermittent failures on Xcode code compiling my app on multiple platforms because it fails to compile a metal shader. The Metal Toolchain was not installed and could not compile the Metal source files. Download the Metal Toolchain from Xcode > Settings > Components and try again. Sometimes if I re-run it, it works fine. Then I'll run it again, and it will fail. If you tell me to file a feedback, please tell me what information would be useful and actionable, because this is all I have.

I failed to download Metal toolchain for Xcode Beta 5. Downloading in Settings -> Components didn't work so I tried in terminal but didn't work too. /tmp xcodebuild -downloadComponent metalToolchain -exportPath ~/Downloads Beginning asset download... 2025-08-07 16:38:44.867 xcodebuild[91064:2244768] Writing error result bundle to /var/folders/bb/xtdv2kgn6rq3zxqs4f8f1j4w0000gn/T/ResultBundle_2025-07-08_16-38-0044.xcresult xcodebuild: error: Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain), serverParameters ({ RequestedBuild = 17A5295f; })

I try adding people as Sandbox Testers to my App, but Apple keeps saying that they already exist on the team, even though they're not. It always show "A user with this email address already exists on the team" It keeps happening with every address I try.

I added a new liquid glass icon built with Icon Composer to my app. It works and looks great on iOS 26 but Xcode complains that required icon files for older versions are missing. I still have the old AppIcon in my Asset Catalog but it seems like it's not being used. How do I configure Xcode to use the old icons for iOS 18 and the new icon for iOS 26?

In the first Xcode 16 beta, none of my SwiftUI previews work - they all just crash on start up. Has anybody run into this and found a workaround? Have tried all the usual steps of cleaning the project/restarting Xcode.

I have a brand new iPhone 15 with iOS 17, paired with a watch on WatchOS10. In devices and simulators, the iPhone 15 and Watch 10 device show up as disconnected (with the globe icon I think is what it is?) and if I click on either of them, that icon changes to a spinner, and the main window says "Xcode will continue when the operation completes", but it NEVER completes. This makes the device not usable for development. In addition, I have updated my iPad to iOS17, and it doesn't even show up at all in the devices and simulator list, even though it is enabled for developer mode. I have toggled developer mode off and on (thus rebooting). I have quit and restarted Xcode. I have even rebooted the Mac. Nothing helps. This is incredibly frustrating.

Xcode 26 Beta 5 Universal: Not able to install iOS 26 Beta 5 simulator on intel macs Below log is shown: Download failed.

My company's app has a few widgets and a couple of them we do not want to show up on CarPlay due to safety concerns when iOS 26 releases. I understand Apple's recommended way to prevent users from using your widget in CarPlay is to use the .disfavoredLocations([.carPlay], for: [.systemSmall]), and this puts your widget in the 'Other' section of the widgets. https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf However, this .carPlay widget location is only available in Xcode 26, and our app cannot be built on Xcode 26 yet due to some build errors. We are able to fix those build errors in a separate branch, but we won't be doing our official release builds on Xcode 26 until it is out of beta, which is usually right before iOS 26 officially releases to general audiences. We release our app versions on a monthly cadence, so the version that will be out when iOS 26 comes out is already in testing. Is there any existing way we can disable this widget on CarPlay so it does not appear to work when tapped? Currently, it opens our CarPlay app, but the CarPlay app does nothing with it. On the iPhone, when you tap the widget it opens our app and performs a function. We don't wan't to disable it on the iPhone, just when it's on CarPlay. We don't have time before the app release to implement the same functionality on our CarPlay app. I haven't found any reliable way to detect if the widget is running in the CarPlay location versus the iPhone home screen. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello everyone! I found that the Xcode Cloud workflows under my project are completely stuck. The tasks that are already running cannot be completed. Newly started tasks remain in the queued state forever and cannot be canceled. They are consuming my usage quota 😢. Has anyone else encountered the same issue?

In previous versions of the simulator, it was possible to import files into the Files app by dragging them from the Finder into the Simulator. It appears that in the iOS 26 Simulator, this opens the file in Safari. I've only tried it with .json files so far. The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/sharing-data-with-simulator says that the original behaviour should happen: To add files to Simulator, select one or more files in Finder on your Mac, then click the Share button. Select Simulator from the share destination list. Choose the simulated device from the drop-down list. Simulator opens the Files app, and lets you select where to save the files. I'd love to learn if this is intentional behaviour, and if so, what workarounds there might be. I use this pattern quite a lot, as I have a HealthKit app, and I've built a system that allows me to export workouts as JSON files from a real device, that I can then import into a simulator for testing. Edit: I found a workaround. Make a folder in Files.app, then search for it within ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices. Open the folder in Finder, then add any files you want to be available in the Simulator.

I am using SwiftData for my model. Until Xcode 15 beta 4 I did not have issues. Since beta 5 I am receiving the following red warning multiple times: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release This seems to be a CoreData warning. However, I am not using CoreData directly. I have no way to change the config of CoreData as used by SwiftData. My model just uses UUID, Int, String, Double, some of them as optionals or Arrays. I only use one attribute (.unique).
