Getting this error several times when presenting a modal window over my splitview window when running it on my Mac using Swift/Mac Catalyst in XCode 14.2. When I click the Cancel button in the window then I get Scene destruction request failed with error: (null) right after an unwind segue.

I don't quite understand what all all this means. (The "bleep" was a debugging print code I put in the unwind segue). I'm working through Apple's Mac Catalyst tutorial but it seems to be riddled with bugs and coding issues, even in the final part of the completed app which I dowmloaded and ran. I don't see these problems on IPad simulator.
I don't know if it's because Catalyst has problems itself or there's something else going on that I can fix myself. Any insight into these errors would be very much appreciated!
PS: The app seems to run ok on Mac without crashing despite the muliple issues

I'm dealing with a strange bug where I am requesting read access for 'appleExerciseTime' and 'activitySummaryType', and despite enabling both in the permission sheet, they are being set to 'sharingDenied'.
I'm writing a Swift Test for making sure permissions are being granted.
@Test
func PermissionsGranted() {
try await self.manager.getPermissions()
for type in await manager.allHealthTypes {
let status = await manager.healthStore.authorizationStatus(for: type)
#expect(status == .sharingAuthorized, "\(type) authorization status is \(status)")
}
}
let healthTypesToShare: Set<HKSampleType> = [
HKQuantityType(.bodyMass),
HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage),
HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass),
HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned),
HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned),
HKObjectType.workoutType()
]
let allHealthTypes: Set<HKObjectType> = [
HKQuantityType(.bodyMass),
HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage),
HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass),
HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned),
HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned),
HKQuantityType(.appleExerciseTime),
HKObjectType.activitySummaryType()
]
let healthStore = HKHealthStore()
func getPermissions() async throws {
try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: self.healthTypesToShare, read: self.allHealthTypes)
}
After 'getPermissions' runs, the permission sheet shows up on the Simulator, and I accept all. I've double checked that the failing permissions show up on the sheet and are enabled. Then the test fails with:
Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)
Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)
With the rawValue of '1' being 'sharingDenied'. All other permissions are granted. Is there a workaround here, or something I'm potentially doing wrong?
Hello Im having an error in swiftUI project of mine. I use fullscreencover to navigate through views. Normally it s been working but one point it doesn't. I go through MainMenu -> SomeOtherView -> GameView -> AfterGameView -> SomeOtherView -> MainMenu. When it comes to mainmenu at last, it s showing main menu for a glimpse of a look and then goes back to GameView. In console an error took my notice.
> A new orientation transaction token is being requested while a valid one already exists. reason=Fullscreen transition (dismissing): fromVC=<_TtGC7SwiftUI29PresentationHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x10795ca00>; toVC=<_TtGC7SwiftUI29PresentationHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x1071c3400>;; windowOrientation=portrait; sceneOrientation=portrait; existingTransaction=<_UIForcedOrientationTransactionToken: 0x600001804a40; state: active; originalOrientation: portrait (1)>
Cant really finding the solution. Need help asap I will release a bug update to Appstore.

Hello dear community,
I have the sample code from Apple “CapturingDepthUsingLiDAR” to access the LiDAR on my iPhone 12 Pro. My goal is to use the “photo output” function to generate a point cloud from a single image and then save it as a ply file. So far I have tested different approaches to create a .ply file from the depthmap, the intrinsic camera data and the rgba values. Unfortunately, I have had no success so far and the result has always been an incorrect point cloud.
My question now is whether there are already approaches to this and whether anyone has any experience with it.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
I want to build a Swift library package that uses modified build of OpenSSL and Curl.
I have already statically compiled both and verified I can use them in an Objective-C framework on my target platform (iOS & iOS Simulator). I'm using XCFramework files that contain the static library binaries and headers:
openssl.xcframework/
ios-arm64/
openssl.framework/
Headers/
[...]
openssl
ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/
openssl.framework/
Headers/
[...]
openssl
Info.plist
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set up my Swift package to import these libraries.
I can use .systemLibrary but that seems to use the embedded copies of libssl and libcurl on my system, and I can't figure out how to use the path: parameter to that.
I also tried using a .binaryTarget pointing to the XCFramework files, but that didn't seem to work as there is no module generated and I'm not sure how to make one myself.
At a basic high level, this is what I'm trying to accomplish:
where libcrypto & libssl come from the provided openssl.xcframework file, and libcurl from curl.xcframework
Hey everyone,
I’m learning async/await and trying to fetch an image from a URL off the main thread to avoid overloading it, while updating the UI afterward. Before starting the fetch, I want to show a loading indicator (UI-related work). I’ve implemented this in two different ways using Task and Task.detached, and I have some doubts:
Is using Task { @MainActor the better approach?
I added @MainActor because, after await, the resumed execution might not return to the Task's original actor. Is this the right way to ensure UI updates are done safely?
Does calling fetchImage() on @MainActor force it to run entirely on the main thread?
I used an async data fetch function (not explicitly marked with any actor). If I were to use a completion handler instead, would the function run on the main thread?
Is using Task.detached overkill here?
I tried Task.detached to ensure the fetch runs on a non-main actor. However, it seems to involve unnecessary actor hopping since I still need to hop back to the main actor for UI updates. Is there any scenario where Task.detached would be a better fit?
class ViewController : UIViewController{
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//MARK: First approch
Task{@MainActor in
showLoading()
let image = try? await fetchImage() //Will the image fetch happen on main thread?
updateImageView(image:image)
hideLoading()
}
//MARK: 2nd approch
Task{@MainActor in
showLoading()
let detachedTask = Task.detached{
try await self.fetchImage()
}
updateImageView(image:try? await detachedTask.value)
hideLoading()
}
}
func fetchImage() async throws -> UIImage {
let url = URL(string: "https://via.placeholder.com/600x400.png?text=Example+Image")!
//Async data function call
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpResponse.statusCode == 200 else {
throw URLError(.badServerResponse)
}
guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else {
throw URLError(.cannotDecodeContentData)
}
return image
}
func showLoading(){
//Show Loader handling
}
func hideLoading(){
//Hides the loader
}
func updateImageView(image:UIImage?){
//Image view updated
}
}

We have a issue with our watch app. When we do a release build with xcode 16 the watch app will not launch and crashes on watchOS 10 and below devices.
It does not do this on debug builds...and it does not do this on xcode 15 release/debug builds.
Anybody running into watch crashes on xcode 16?
Thanks
I am currently studying the Accelerate library by referring to Apple documentation.
Here is the link to the referenced document:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate/veclib/vforce
When I executed the sample code provided at the bottom of the document, I found a case where the results were different.
let n = 10_000
let x = (0..<n).map { _ in
Float.random(in: 1 ... 10_000)
}
let y = x.map {
return sqrt($0)
}
and
let y = [Float](unsafeUninitializedCapacity: n) { buffer, initializedCount in
vForce.sqrt(x,
result: &buffer)
initializedCount = n
}
The code below is provided to observe the issue described above.
import Accelerate
Task {
let n = 1//10_000
let x = (0..<n).map { _ in
Float(6737.015)//Float.random(in: 1 ... 10_000)
}
let y = x.map {
return sqrt($0)
}
try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000)
let z = [Float](unsafeUninitializedCapacity: n) { buffer, initializedCount in
vForce.sqrt(x, result: &buffer)
initializedCount = n
}
}
For a value of 6737.015 when calculating the square root:
Using the sqrt(_:) function gives the result 82.07932,
While using the vForce.sqrt(_:result:) function gives the result 82.07933.
Using a calculator, the value comes out as 82.07932139, which shows that the result from vForce is incorrect.
Could you explain the reason behind this difference?
Hello together,
since Xcode Version > 15 the following error handling causes following error "Pattern of type 'DecodingError' cannot match 'Never'
func getSupportedCountries() async {
// fetch all documents from collection "seasons" from firestore
let queryCountries = try? await db.collection("countries").getDocuments()
if queryCountries != nil {
self.countries = (queryCountries!.documents.compactMap({ (queryDocumentSnapshot) -> Country? in
let result = Result { try? queryDocumentSnapshot.data(as: Country.self) }
switch result {
case .success(let country):
if let country = country {
// A country value was successfully initialized from the DocumentSnapshot
self.errorMessage = nil
return country
}
else {
// A nil value was successfully initialized from the DocumentSnapshot,
// or the DocumentSnapshot was nil
self.errorMessage = "Document doesn't exist."
return nil
}
case .failure(let error):
// A Country value could not be initialized from the DocumentSnapshot
switch error {
case DecodingError.typeMismatch(_, let context):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(context.debugDescription)"
case DecodingError.valueNotFound(_, let context):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(context.debugDescription)"
case DecodingError.keyNotFound(_, let context):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(context.debugDescription)"
case DecodingError.dataCorrupted(let key):
self.errorMessage = "\(error.localizedDescription): \(key)"
default:
self.errorMessage = "Error decoding document: \(error.localizedDescription)"
}
return nil
}
}))
} else {
self.errorMessage = "No documents in 'countries' collection"
return
}
}
the interesting part of the code where XCODE shows an error is from "switch error" downwards.
Does anyone of you have an idea what's wrong?
Ay help appreciated !
Thx, Peter
Context: SwiftUI TextField with a String for simple math using NSExpression.
I first prepare the input string to an extent but a malformed input using valid characters still fails, as expected. Let's say preparedExpression is "5--"
let expr = NSExpression(format: preparedExpression)
gives
FAULT: NSInvalidArgumentException: Unable to parse the format string "5-- == 1"; (user info absent)
How can I use NSExpression such that either the preparedExpression is pre-tested before asking for actual execution or the error is handled in a polite way that I can use to alert the user to try again.
Is there a Swift alternative to NSExpression that I've missed?
I have a class object created dynamically using Runtime, and I want to release some manually allocated memory resources when this object is deallocated. To achieve this, I added a custom implementation of the dealloc method using the following code:
SEL aSel = NSSelectorFromString(@"dealloc");
class_addMethod(kvoClass, aSel, (IMP)custom_dealloc, method_getTypeEncoding(class_getInstanceMethod(kvoClass, aSel)));
However, I encountered some issues. If I don't call the superclass's dealloc method in the cus_dealloc function, the superclass's dealloc implementation will not be executed. On the other hand, if I explicitly call the superclass's dealloc method, the program crashes.
Here is the implementation of the cus_dealloc function:
void custom_dealloc(id self, SEL _cmd) {
// Release other memory

Class superClass = class_getSuperclass(object_getClass(self));
void (*originIMP)(struct objc_super *, SEL, ...) = (void *)objc_msgSendSuper;
struct objc_super *objcSuper = &(struct objc_super){self, superClass};
originIMP(objcSuper, _cmd);
}

Hello, I am a software engineer student and I have recently been getting problems on my Mac regarding the C/C++ libraries. I have used my macbook for uni work for months, but around 3 or 4 months ago my macbook could not compile my work since it couldnt find the basic libraries I was using. For example, iostream. I have been using VSCode, and what it exactly says is "cannot open source file "iostream". Please run the 'Select IntelliSense Configuration...' command to locate your system headers." I have tried researching, changing the include path, even using chatgpt, and nothing. Is anyone having this same problem, or is able to help me? If any other information is needed, please let me know!

How can I calculate polynomial coefficients for Tone Curve points:
// • Red channel: (0, 0), (60, 39), (128, 128), (255, 255)
// • Green channel: (0, 0), (63, 50), (128, 128), (255, 255)
// • Blue channel: (0, 0), (60, 47), (119, 119), (255, 255)

I'm trying to fix some Swift6 warnings, this one seems too strict, I'm not sure how to fix it. The variable path is a String, which should be immutable, it's a local variable and never used again inside of the function, but still Swift6 complains about it being a race condition, passing it to the task
What should I do here to fix the warning?
Hey there-
I'm having a quite interesting bug on Swift Playgrounds.
I am trying to run my app with this following code snippet which does not compile on Swift Playgrounds, yet compiles on XCode (note: this is a Swift Playground app)
if #available(iOS 18.0, *) {
//simple function to get the indices of other items that have the same date as the "date" variable
let indices = data!.indices(where: { item in
let sameMonth = Calendar.current.component(.month, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.month, from: date)
let sameYear = Calendar.current.component(.year, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.year, from: date)
let sameDay = Calendar.current.component(.day, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.year, from: date)
return sameDay && sameMonth && sameYear
})
However, the indices(where:) codeblock seems to stop the app from compiling (ONLY on Swift Playgrounds - it works perfectly fine on XCode).
I am getting the following error:
Cannot call value of non-function type 'Range<Array<Int>.Index>' (aka 'Range<Int>')
Please let me know if you have any insight regarding this issue.

The speaker mentions there is "less risk of creating a retain cycle in when capturing self in a closure within a value type", such as a SwiftUI view struct.
Can you elaborate on when this could actually occur?
Thanks!
Hello, I have an issue with importing some .mp3 files into a swift playground project (in Xcode, not in the Playground app). They worked fine in the Xcode project, but for some reason playgrounds isn't able to find them. I imported them the exact same way as I did in the Xcode project.
I’m working on a project in Xcode 16.2 and encountered an issue where getAPI() with a default implementation in a protocol extension doesn’t show up in autocomplete. Here’s a simplified version of the code:
import Foundation
public protocol Repository {
func getAPI(from url: String?)
}
extension Repository {
public func getAPI(from url: String? = "https://...") {
getAPI(from: url)
}
}
final class _Repository: Repository {
func getAPI(from url: String?) {
// Task...
}
}
let repo: Repository = _Repository()
repo.getAPI( // Autocomplete doesn't suggest getAPI()
I’ve tried the following without success:
• Clean build folder
• Restart Xcode
• Reindexing
Is there something wrong with the code, or is this a known issue with Xcode 16.2? I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions.
I have a class that I want to custom encode into JSON:
class Declination: Decodable, Encodable {
var asString: String
var asDouble: Double
init(_ asString: String) {
self.asString = asString
self.asDouble = raToDouble(asString)
}
required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let value = try decoder.singleValueContainer()
self.asString = try value.decode(String.self)
self.asDouble = declinationToDouble(asString)
}
}
As you can see, I calculate the double form of the declination when I decode a JSON file containing the data. What I want to do now is ENCODE the class back out as a single string.
Currently the standard JSON encode in Swift produces the following:
"declination":{"asDouble":18.26388888888889,"asString":"+18:15:50.00"}
what I want to produce is:
declination:"+18:15:50.00"
How can I easily do that? I've read up about custom encoders and such, and I get confused about the containers and what keys are being used. I think there might be a simple answer where I could just code:
extension Coordinate: Encodable {
func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
return encoder.encode(self.asString)
}
}
But experienced Swift developers will immediately see that won't work. Should I do JSONSerialization instead? Can I just write a toString() extension and have JSON pick that up?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

I have a simple shell script as follows:
#!/bin/bash
OUTPUT="network.$(date +'%d-%m-%y').info.txt"
SUPPORT_ID="email"
echo "---------------------------------------------------" > $OUTPUT
echo "Run date and time: $(date)" >> $OUTPUT
echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT
ifconfig >> $OUTPUT
echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT
echo "Network info written to file: $OUTPUT."
echo "Please email this file to: $SUPPORT_ID."
It just dumps the network config into a file. At some point I will have the file emailed out, but right now I'm just trying to figure out why the output looks like the following?
bash ./test.sh
.etwork info written to file: network.26-01-25.info.txt
.lease email this file to: email
Why in the world does the initial character of the last couple of "echo" commands get clipped and turned into periods? The echos for the output of the commands piped into the output file are fine. Strange...
Any ideas?
