My application targets iOS 15+. Attempting to build and run it on my iPhone SE (orphaned at iOS 15.6) results in "Failed to prepare the device for development." I'm building with Xcode 15.2. What is the expected procedure here?

I am working on a MAUI application. When I go to archive my build to then release it, my bundle is not including the Assets.car file that apple is seemingly expecting for handling the app icons, which is leading to issues trying to publish my app. The assets are in a AppIcon.appiconset folder in my project (under Platforms>iOS>Resources) with a proper Contents.json file also in there. They are setup as a BundledResource (also have tried ImageAssets for the build type but with the same issue occurring). I am using visual studio 2022 on Windows 11 paired with a Mac (Sequoia 15.5) and Xcode 16.4. I have even tried manually compiling the asset catalog from xcode16.4 and trying to use terminal commands to have actool create the Assets.car but that runs with no files created to the output destination as well as no errors. I believe there may be an issue with actools in my Xcode copy. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions or tips?

Hello Apple Developer Support, I am writing to seek assistance with an issue we are experiencing in our SwiftUI application concerning UI test cases. Our application uses accessibility labels that differ slightly from the display content to enhance VoiceOver support. However, we have encountered a problem where our UI test cases fail when the accessibility label does not match the actual display content. Currently, we are using accessibility identifiers in our tests, but they only retrieve the accessibility label, leaving us without a method to access the actual display content. This discrepancy is causing our automated tests to fail, as they cannot verify the visual content of the UI elements. We would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions you could provide to address this issue. Specifically, we are looking for a way to ensure our UI tests can access both the accessibility label and the actual display content for verification purposes. For ex: Problem scenario - setting accessibilityLabel masks access to any displayed content If an accessibilityLabel is set on a UI element, then it seems to be no-longer possible to check/access the displayed content of that element: var body: some View { Text("AAA") .accessibilityIdentifier("textThing") .accessibilityLabel("ZZZ") // Different label from the text which is displayed in UI } // in test... func test_ThingExists() { XCTAssert(app.staticTexts["AAA"].exists) // Fails, cannot find the element XCTAssertEqual(app.staticTexts["ZZZ"].label, "AAA") // Fails - '.label' is the accessibilityLabel, not the displayed content XCTAssertEqual(app.staticTexts["ZZZ"].label, "ZZZ") // Passes, but validates the accessibility content, not the displayed content XCTAssert(app.staticTexts["textThing"].exists) // Passes, but does not check the displayed content XCTAssertEqual(app.staticTexts["textThing"].label, "AAA") // Fails - '.label' is the accessibilityLabel, not the displayed content XCTAssertEqual(app.staticTexts["textThing"].label, "ZZZ") // Passes, but validates the accessibility content, not the displayed content } element.label still only checks the accessibilityLabel. There is not, it seems, an way back to being able to check the content of the Text element directly. Thank you for your attention and support. We look forward to your valuable insights.

Not sure if this is common with releases but I've been doing some CI work recently so it's the first time I've seen this myself, When I list the runtimes installed on my machine: xcrun simctl list runtimes I notice the iOS 18.3.1 release has the below info: == Runtimes == iOS 18.3 (18.3.1 - 22D8075) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-3 Meanwhile the other runtimes are listed as: == Runtimes == iOS 17.5 (17.5 - 21F79) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-5 iOS 18.4 (18.4 - 22E5216h) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-4 watchOS 11.2 (11.2 - 22S99) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.watchOS-11-2 visionOS 2.3 (2.3 - 22N895) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-2-3 (Apologies for the weird formatting above, using code blocks and quote markdown condenses things down to one line for some reason) This is causing some funkiness in my CI code which I've managed to workaround, but wondered if this was a common thing, specifically the mismatch between the iOS name and the runtime version. iOS 18.3 and com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-3 vs 18.3.1 - 22D8075 where the .1 has been dropped for the runtime names?

does anyone know where to find some slideshow/text/pdf versions of these? https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui maybe apple can use that fancy AI they are working on to generate those from the vides... to stress-test the AI :)

Hello all, I am trying to build a Flutter app that supports a link the opens the app. I would like the link to be sent by email, and when clicked I would like to app to open. On android all works fine, but on IOS it doesnt. I currently have: A link that does open the app but doesnt navigate to the correct screnn - it just shows the last screen that app was on. I have tried following the tutorial on https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/navigation/set-up-universal-links to the letter but still doesnt work I am using: Flutter 3.22.3 Go Router 14.2.7 Thanks in advance

I'm integrating Apollo GraphQL into a SwiftUI app and encountering the following error during a query execution: result : failure(Apollo.MultipartResponseParsingInterceptor.ParsingError.cannotParseResponse) failed : The response data could not be parsed. The request hits the server, but the response fails to be parsed by Apollo. I'm using the default code generation setup and executing a simple query to fetch a list of countries. Here’s a snippet of the function: swift Copy Edit private func fetchCountries() { switch result { case .success(let graphQLResult): if let name = graphQLResult.data?.countries { print(name) } else if let errors = graphQLResult.errors { print(errors) } case .failure(let error): print("failed : (error.localizedDescription)") } } This is run on an iPhone 16 Pro simulator with iOS 18.2. Any idea what's causing the parsing error or how I can inspect the raw response for debugging? Thanks in advance!

Ive been working on android studio and have my app put together and was gonna start thr apple process and everything I read says I'll need a Mac to do it. Can someone either point me in the right direction or could I send my code over and someone compile my code for me?

If an iOS app gets terminated by watchdog due to, for example, hanging the main thread, is that considered to be a crash or something different. I'm asking because, according to google and AI, Crashlytics can detect and report these,but in my experience it does not. If I deliberately cause a watchdog termination by for example sleeping on the main thread for a long time then these never appear in Crashlytics. I know Apple folks here don't comment on non Apple software, so I'm not asking about Crashlytics, just wondering and interested about watchdog timeout terminations and how they differ from a "regular" crash.

Trying to publish my .NET MAUI app via the transporter after migrating it from Xamarin (using the App Store Connect feature directly within visual studio 2022 has never worked for me) and getting this error. Validation failed (409) Missing required icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 10.0. To support older versions of iOS, the icon may be required in the bundle outside of an asset catalog. Make sure the Info.plist file includes appropriate entries referencing the file. I have setup my maui app to use the asset catalog with the .pngs setup as bundled resources and I have also tried using the .svg method, both resulting in this error. When I zip and unzip my .ipa file I can see the asset catalog as part of the payload (C:\Archives\AIM_MAUI\Payload\AIM_MAUI.app\AppIcon.appiconset) Here is the contents of the Contents.json file { "images" : [ { "filename" : "icon_40.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_60.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_58.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_87.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_80.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_120.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_120.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "60x60" }, { "filename" : "icon_180.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "60x60" }, { "filename" : "icon_20.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_40.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_29.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_58.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_40.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_80.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_76.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "76x76" }, { "filename" : "icon_152.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "76x76" }, { "filename" : "icon_167.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "83.5x83.5" }, { "filename" : "icon_1024.png", "idiom" : "ios-marketing", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "1024x1024" } ], "info" : { "author" : "xcode", "version" : 1 } } I have tried manually using the actool tool from Xcode 16.4 to create the Assets.car file that is seeming to be missing and leading to this issue but even that can't compile the icons (or even a simple sample appicon.appiconset from Xcode with a singular .png added) and I am beginning to think there's an issue with the actool itself. I have tried reinstalling Xcode and every time the actool is just a partial download or a stub of the tool and not the real tool (actool size on my Mac is only 170kb and per my research it should be at least a couple mb) Is there any workaround?

Hello I developed an app for my cousin (I wrote all the code myself), but she’ll be the one managing it once it’s published. She’ll take care of the content, updates, and anything admin-related. Right now, the app uses my Firebase account and my Apple Developer account (App Store Connect), which I set up at the start of the project. I’m wondering: • Am I at risk legally or financially if the accounts stay under my name, even though I won’t be involved in the app after release? • Is it possible to migrate the project to her email, meaning transfer Firebase and the Apple Developer account to her own account, so that everything is properly under her control? Thanks in advance for any insights or experiences

We recently integrated MetricKit into our app; however, the 90th percentile data does not seem to match the data in Xcode Organizer. The values reported by MetricKit appear to be higher. Additionally, it looks like data for previous app versions is not being updated in Organizer as adoption of the latest version increases. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could there be a delay in data updates for older versions in Organizer? Are there any known limitations or best practices for ensuring consistency between MetricKit and Xcode Organizer data? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently developing a Unity game for iPad and have run into a critical issue that's completely blocking me from building the project. The project uses the Mapbox SDK for Unity. Everything was working fine during today test build on the iPad. I made minor changes - just four scripts, then attempted another build. However, Xcode began showing the following error: The signature of “MapboxCommon.xcframework” cannot be validated and may have been compromised. Validation Error: The signing certificate has been revoked (CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED) This error now occurs consistently. I've tried building on a different MacBook and with a different Apple account, but the result is the same. I haven't made any changes to the Mapbox framework, nor have I updated it recently. I'm trying to determine the root cause: Is this something I've done on my end? Or is it an issue with the Mapbox framework or their signing certificate? Is there a temporary workaround that would allow me to proceed with development builds while I investigate a proper fix? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How do I download the iPad Air (5th generation) 18.3 simulator? I activated my Mac and only have version 18.2 available. I need to test the simulator that they are testing, but I can't because I don't have version 18.3 available. I only have the iPad version 18.2 available and the application works fine on that version. I have already added logs in different parts of the application, but in the files that you shared with me no log appears. The macOS operating system is macOS Drought.

I have a Swift package with a test suite that contains some tests implemented with Swift Testing. Locally, they run quickly, but when I run them on Semaphore CI (https://semaphore.io), the first Swift Testing test to execute incurs a performance penalty. I'm running the tests with xcodebuild on iOS Simulator: xcodebuild test \ -scheme "Scheme" \ -workspace Workspace.xcworkspace \ -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16,OS=18.2" The scheme is configured to use a test plan that has parallelization disabled. Here's an excerpt from the output showing what I'm seeing: Test Suite 'All tests' started at 2025-04-03 07:47:37.328. ◇ Test run started. ↳ Testing Library Version: 102 (arm64-apple-ios13.0-simulator) ◇ Iteration 1 started. ◇ Suite <redacted> started. ◇ Test foo() started. ✔ Test foo() passed after 23.063 seconds. When foo() is not the first test it runs in under 100 ms. The reason that I have parallelization disabled is that I was initially seeing all of the tests in this suite incur a performance hit. But now it's clear that there must be some startup cost. Things I'm wondering: What is this startup penalty? Why don't I encounter it locally? Why is it attributed to the first test? (this seems like a bug) My wild guesses around 1 so far have been… maybe some simulator clone is booting. I've tried to rule that out by disabling parallelization, but maybe there's still something there. maybe swift testing is getting loaded lazily and there's some kind of dynamic linking cost Thoughts on 2… maybe there's some one-time penalty when using swift testing that I've already incurred locally but that has not yet been incurred in the CI image Guidance welcome! x-posted: FB17102970 (Unexpected performance penalty attributed to first Swift Testing test) https://forums.swift.org/t/first-swifttesting-test-always-slow/79066
