XCode 13 - No Help Book
I recently switched to Mac OS 12 and XCode 13. I did some work on my application and rebuilt it. Now there is no Help Book. I didn't change the property lists and everything looks right. When I open the Help Book the application either opens a window with a message that the content is currently unavailable or it opens a Help Book window with no content. When this second thing happens the log window shows "entering AHRegistered help Book" but it doesn't appear. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles not showing for team
Hello, we are struggling for hours with the following issue: I have an individual developer account and since yesterday I'm member of developer team with an own organization account. I have access to an app in the team account as an "App-Manager", also the option "Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" is activated and I can see that it is activated for my account in AppstoreConnect. In "Apple Developer" I can also see the team and can switch to. But then I do not see the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" menu entry. Also the team is not showing up in XCode. What am I missing? Thanks and regards Philipp

Xcode 16 | xcodebuild fails when providing -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16,arch=x86_64'
Hello. In the Xcode 15 we were using this command in the terminal to run our tests on the Rosetta Simulator: xcodebuild -workspace CoreLibraries.xcworkspace -scheme CoreLibraries -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15,arch=x86_64' test` In the Xcode 16 the same command doesn't work anymore. It produces the error: xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier: { platform:iOS Simulator, arch:x86_64, OS:latest, name:iPhone 16 } Unsupported device specifier option. The device “iPhone 16” does not support the following options: arch Please supply only supported device specifier options. Running test directly from the Xcode UI using iPhone 16 (Rosetta) still works fine. Does anyone know how to modify the xcodebuild command to make it work again?

Does Carplay work in Enterprise apps?
I am developing CarPlay addition on our app. Which is distributed with the Enterprise In distribution method, so we do not have a product in the App Store. I am wondering if CarPlay support can be provided in applications distributed with the Enterprise in distribution method? If this is not possible, I will inform management that this is not possible. I am waiting for your answers, thanks.

UI Tests on Xcode Cloud fail due to Simulator randomly showing Apple logo
Hello everyone! When I run UI Tests on Xcode Cloud, I often encounter unexpected failures. Checking the screen recording, I found that the iOS Simulator could go into a black screen with a white Apple logo and a progress bar for a period after the test starts. This behavior of the Simulator causes my app's UI Tests to fail randomly, which greatly affects the practical use of UI Tests. I suspect this phenomenon is unrelated to my app and test cases, so I'm asking if anyone else has encountered a similar issue. 🤔

iOS Simulator in Xcode 26.1 makes ReportCrash process run at 60-160% of CPU
My MBP M1 Pro gets really hot. iOS 26.1 Simulator in Xcode 26.1 makes ReportCrash process run at 60-160% of CPU shows Activity Monitor. MacOS 26.1. I've reported this via Feedback Assistant: FB20918609. Is there a way to quit this process permanently? When I Force Quit this it opens again immediately. Only way to stop it is to quit Simulator. But then again, I need to use the Simulator.

`xcresulttool merge` broken on Xcode 26.1+
Opened a FB already (FB20928652) but wanted to check here if anybody has seen similar or has better workarounds. xcresulttool merge appears to crash immediately after launch in Xcode 26.1 (and in 26.2b1). It does so regardless of any inputs passed in; the crash appears to be during argument parsing before any other logic is run, so it's not contingent on inputs. Working example from 26.0.1 (passing in arbitrary strings for a minimum-reproducible-case, so we expect to see an error message) : % /Applications/Xcode-26.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c Error: File or directory doesn't exist at path: b. Usage: xcresulttool <subcommand> See 'xcresulttool --help' for more information. The same example crashes in 26.1: /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c zsh: trace trap /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge Again, this does crash in real use cases as well, the arbitrary strings are just for quick reproduction. The stack trace appears to be during argument parsing (which from a quick look, did indeed change between 26.0.1 and 26.1). On 26.1+, garbage data seemingly gets passed to AbsolutePath.init. * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 * frame #0: 0x00000001002c6748 xcresulttool-26.1`normalize(absolute:) frame #1: 0x00000001002c6438 xcresulttool-26.1`AbsolutePath.init(_:) + 28 frame #2: 0x000000010005a2c0 xcresulttool-26.1`Merge.run() + 372 frame #3: 0x000000010005b180 xcresulttool-26.1`protocol witness for ParsableCommand.run() in conformance Merge + 12 frame #4: 0x000000010011d3e4 xcresulttool-26.1`dispatch thunk of ReadableStream.close() + 16 frame #5: 0x000000010000148c xcresulttool-26.1`main + 156 frame #6: 0x00000001804d5d54 dyld`start + 7184 The only workaround we've found is to keep using 26.0.1's copy of xcresulttool, though that's obviously not ideal.

Xcode Cloud is unable to connect to the repository
Hello, I am trying out Xcode Cloud for the first time. I could connect to Github in the initial setup and had a few failed builds (package resolution error), which I resolved fairly quickly. Now whenever I am trying to build, I get the following error: Xcode Cloud is unable to connect to the repository “<respository-name>”. Reconnect the repository to resume builds. I am unable to remove the connection from settings as well because it's stuck in a loading state. Is there a way to fix this?

NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary crashes Xcode 13
I just submitted a feedback for this (FB9662125) but in the spirit of “share and enjoy”… The cool new Generate Info.plist File feature in Xcode 13 crashes if you try to put an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary in your Info.plist file. Here’s a simple repro scenario: Create a minimal iOS app (no Core Data, no tests) Go to target settings → Info tab → Custom iOS Target Properties Click the (+) button on any row to begin inserting a new row Select Privacy - Location Temporary Usage Description Dictionary Click somewhere else or press Return to commit the selection Xcode crashes immediately More generally, it seems that Xcode crashes any time it tries to regenerate your Info.plist file if it contains an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary, even if (for example) you manually pasted that dictionary into the file earlier. In that case, merely tapping the (+) button in step 3 above is enough to crash it.

App record creation error at validation
Hi, I developed an app and trying to publish but at the validation state i'm getting two errors. The errors as follows: (1) App record creation failed due to an invalid input. Request failed with the error code "STATE_ERROR.APP_CREATE.PLATFORM_NOT_ALLOWED_DUE_TO_CONTRACT_STATE", and reason "One or more platforms cannot be created for this app due to your provider's contract state. Creation of apps for the platform(s) iOS is not available due to your provider's contract state." (2) App record creation failed due to an invalid attribute. Request failed with error code "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED", and reason "The provided entity is missing a required attribute You must provide a value for the attribute 'companyName' with this request" Which inputs and attributes are causing these errors? Thanks in advance.

Xcode Cloud Export Archive Fails with Xcode 26.2 RC
Export archive step fails in Xcode Cloud when using Xcode 26.2 (17C48) RC. The same project exports successfully when switching back to Xcode 26.1 in Xcode Cloud workflow settings. The same project exports successfully when using Xcode 26.2 RC locally. Projects without Apple Watch app do not encounter this issue (not so sure about this). From Xcode Cloud UI: Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information. Run command: 'xcodebuild -exportArchive ... Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70 From xcodebuild-export-archive.log: error: exportArchive Automatic signing cannot update bundle identifier "io.***.***.watchkitapp". error: exportArchive No profiles for 'io.***.***.watchkitapp' were found error: exportArchive Automatic signing cannot update bundle identifier "io.***.***". error: exportArchive No profiles for 'io.***.***' were found ** EXPORT FAILED ** IDEDistribution: App Store Connect request for store configuration failed for account Session Proxy Provider (Account "Session Proxy Provider": Unable to authenticate with App Store Connect (Error Domain=DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation.DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError Code=1 "(null)")) DVTServices: Sending request A7605D4E-2892-4B6D-9197-90BD3AB53D67 to <http://172.16.57.4:8089/services/v1/capabilities> Payload: {"urlEncodedQueryParams":"teamId=984L9QX9X5&filter%5BreferenceType%5D=bundle&filter%5BincludeRequestable%5D=true&limit=200"} { "errors": [{ "id": "fb67ecdb-103b-4446-a2db-618fd6bd99e7", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "A parameter 'filter[includeRequestable]' has an invalid value : ''includeRequestable' is not a valid field name.'", "source": { "parameter": "filter[includeRequestable]" } }] } DVTServices: Could not fetch capabilities from network due to error: error = 'A parameter has an invalid value' Workaround Switching Xcode Cloud workflow to use Xcode 26.1 works around the issue. Using Xcode 26.2 RC locally works around the issue.

Unable to download iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime - Build 23B80 not available
I am unable to download the iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime through Xcode 26.1 on macOS 26.1 (Build 25B78). Issue Details: When attempting to download via Xcode Settings → Platforms, the download fails with error code 41 (DVTDownloadableErrorDomain) and error code 60 (MADownloadCannotConnectToHost) The error message states: "Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime), serverParameters ({RequestedBuild = 23B80;})" I receive HTTP 403 Forbidden when accessing mesu.apple.com/assets/ Steps Attempted: Downloaded via Xcode Settings → Component → iOS 26.1 Simulator Tried command line: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS Searched https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ - iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime not listed Tested with different networks (home WiFi, VPN, mobile hotspot) Disabled proxy settings Flushed DNS cache All attempts result in the same error. Important Notes: Xcode 26.1 shows iOS Simulator SDK 26.1 (Build 23B77) is available However, Xcode attempts to download Build 23B80, which appears unavailable I experienced a similar issue previously with Xcode 16.4 requesting iOS 18.4 Simulator Runtime, which was also unavailable for download Impact: Without the iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime, I cannot develop or test iOS applications. macOS 26.1 requires Xcode 26.1, which in turn requires iOS 26.1 runtime, leaving me unable to perform any iOS development work. Questions: Is iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime (Build 23B80) officially released? Is there a direct download link available? Should Xcode 26.1 be requesting Build 23B77 instead of 23B80? Is there any account restriction preventing me from downloading newer simulator runtimes? System Information: macOS: 26.1 (Build 25B78) Xcode: 26.1 (Build 17B55) Error description: Download failed.

Simulator high CPU usage (CrashReport and MercuryPosterExtension)
Simply opening Simulator app (26.0) causes high CPU usage on macOS Tahoe (26.1). ReportCrash process usage is very high throughout and causes the system to heat up pretty soon. Looking into Console app for the logs found MercuryPosterExtension process is keep on crashing. (Check under Crash Reports) simctl Diagnose https://download.developer.apple.com/OS_X/OS_X_Logs/simctl_Diagnose_Logging_Instructions.pdf Share the Simulator Diagnose report while reporting, Thanks. I have raised a ticket/feedback with Apple. I request all of you to raise one too so this gets fixed soon. Apple Feedback Assistant - FB20985249
