I'm trying to update the icon of my app for watchOS 26, and I'm having troubles providing both a layered Liquid Glass icon for watchOS 26 users and a pre-rendered bitmap icon (in various sizes) for watchOS 11 and older users. Whatever I do; I either get a blurry, scaled-down watchOS 26 icon on watchOS 11; or watchOS 11's bitmap icons on watchOS 26. While I could get the wanted result on macOS 26 and iOS 26, I simply can't get an equivalent result with watchOS 26.

Hi I've downloaded the latest version of Xcode 14.2 but when I run the app in Simulator I can only test it on iOS16.2 Is there a way to run it in 16.3?

I am at a loss as to why, since the latest update, that my preview pane is no longer working. May i have some assistance on the matter? Thank you in advance! 😀✌️

I downloaded the Xcode Beta 3 on my MacBook Pro M4 Base today and tested out some iOS26 mechanics of my app. And when I came back to my main Xcode to continue developing in iOS18, I couldn't build my app. I went to Product > Destination > Manage run destinations and then tried to create a simulator with iOS18 but it didn't show up, only choice that's showing up was iOS26. I tried deleting iOS18 platform and downloading it again but it didn't solve, I tried deleting Xcode Beta but it didn't solve the problem either. I deleted Runtimes folder, it didn't solve too. I can not create a simulator of iOS18 or below too, the error says "The iOS 18.5 simulator runtime is not available. Try reinstalling Xcode or the simulator runtime." How can I fix this problem?

Since iOS 18.2 the simulators have been missing the content under Apps menu for Settings. We are on to iOS 18.3 and still no Apps settings. @dts

When I update the macOS from 15.5 to 15.6, Preview error. 1、I try remove simulator cache， sdk 2、remove Xcode build cache 3、reinstall Xcode 4、try with this method https://byby.dev/uninstall-xcode#:%7E:text=Delete%20old%20simulators%20and%20devices,moving%20them%20to%20the%20Trash but all failed swiftui log.txt

I received the attached crash report. The problem is that the crash report does not contain the abort reason - it appears to be thrown in the GCD library with no additional information. Is it a possible deadlock? 2023-02-15_02-40-23.0077_+0100-94015bd052c4005658221a5e6279f28a75b9e92c.crash Any ideas?

Hi everyone, I recently updated to Xcode 26.0 and noticed that the “Extract Subview” refactoring option seems to be missing. Now, in Xcode 26, the only options I see under Editor -> Refactor -> are: Extract to Selection File Extract to Method Extract to Variable Extract All Occurrences But there’s no Extract Subview as there was before. Was Extract Subview intentionally removed in Xcode 26? Or is it hidden behind a new menu location or renamed?

I use spm manage swift package, now i want my macos app support arm64e,so i add arm64e in Build Srtting -> Architectures. but i got error Could not find module 'SwiftyJSON' for target 'arm64e-apple-macos'; found: arm64-apple-macos, x86_64-apple-macos Apparently, if no limit in Package.swift, SPM will only compile versions for x86 and ARM64 architectures by default. now, how should I configure SPM to compile the arm64e version? thanks

Hi all, reposting this from here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/789849/xattr-c-not-removing-com-apple-finderinfo-attribute I came to this problem because my Xcode project was failing to build due to the error "resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed" (was trying the solutions on this post). Basically, running xattr -cr . in the terminal on my project directory removes all extended attributes except com.apple.FinderInfo, which stays on all .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace files. I've tried everything under the sun, from sudo to xattr -d to dot_clean to tar to rsync and nothing works. Is this just an immortal attribute that can never be removed? I'm truly at a loss here, this is for my senior thesis project.

Hello, We're attempting to validate our application archive through Xcode but the application is crashing during the validate step and we're not sure why. Platform: macOS 15.1 Arch: arm64 We've confirmed that our developer agreements are up to date (a suggestion made by other posts on these forums). Other suggestions have been to downgrade Xcode but we're hoping there's another explanation. The application is quite complex - many libraries and framework - but executes as expected during development and testing. Crash Report Any insight into this error would be appreciated. We're sure it's something wrong with our plist or archive structure but the crash is limiting our ability to debug.

It didn't happen with Xcode 16.2 that I used before, but after updating to 16.3, when I build the app, the following error is output to the console and the app doesn't run. dyld[2150]: Symbol not found: ___cxa_current_primary_exception Referenced from: <6B00A4F2-B208-3FDB-BA38-B7095AF0034A> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/B590DB18-9C66-4C9E-8330-104943419E60/Mubeat DEV.app/Mubeat DEV.debug.dylib Expected in: <7F51CB08-A0CA-386E-BB62-4B8BFB0CED9F> /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib Symbol not found: ___cxa_current_primary_exception Referenced from: <6B00A4F2-B208-3FDB-BA38-B7095AF0034A> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/B590DB18-9C66-4C9E-8330-104943419E60/Mubeat DEV.app/Mubeat DEV.debug.dylib Expected in: <7F51CB08-A0CA-386E-BB62-4B8BFB0CED9F> /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib dyld config: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/system/introspection DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libBacktraceRecording.dylib:/usr/lib/libMainThreadChecker.dylib:/usr/lib/libRPAC.dylib:/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDDISupport.framework/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib After looking for another solution, I found a way to remove the -Objc option in Other Linker Flags, but this method only works on iOS 18.4 and doesn't work on other versions. Is there another solution?

I'm new to Xcode and decided to give it a try, however, I'm unable to preview even the default "hello, world" message. I've tried downloading Xcode on the App Store on Mac and from the official website, but I couldn't go pass the "Preparing (Automatic) iPhone Simulator." I've also tried the following line of code on Terminal, but nada: xcrun simctl erase all Here's what I see for almost two hours now (it makes no sense): My system specs: iMac Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019, 3 GHz Intel Core i5 6-Core, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 (two 4gb core each), 1TB SSD. I've coded way bigger web projects using various applications, but Xcode can't even preview the sample file? Please, help. I would really like to code using Swift. :)

I'm trying to bring up an existing macOS app workspace to build against the macOS 26 SDK, however Xcode 26b1 is producing the following error, and I'm unable to proceed: /Users/tonyarnold/Documents/Reveal/<unknown>:1:1: error reading '/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/17/include/module.modulemap': No such file or directory /Users/tonyarnold/Documents/Reveal/<unknown>:1:1: failed to emit precompiled module '/Users/tonyarnold/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/_Builtin_stdbool-LVR359SH1U4537HG9T3JOGN.pcm' for module map '/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/17/include/module.modulemap' I've checked and the module map that it claims is missing is there on the filesystem. Is this a known issue with this beta?

Anyone else notice that Xcode 16.1 seems to have stopped building universal binaries for both debug and release builds even though under "Build Settings-Build Active Architecture" both Debug and Release are set to NO. We had been using the universal binary builds out of Debug for preliminary tests on Intel based machines. The Architectures setting is set to: Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel) - $(ARCHS_STANDARD). I started a brand new empty app and it does the same thing. A workaround is to set the Destination in Xcode's menu bar to "Build on Any Mac" and then find the binary and drag it to the Intel computer. You can't run that one though from Xcode. Another workaround is to build an Archive and drag that one.

This is the Icon Composer from Xcode 26.0 Beta 1 (not the really old one Xcode6? 😆 that I find when I search here) Is there a way to show the really cool 3D that they showed off during demos? Maybe all we get is which level is on top. Upon export it only seems to be able to do 2x? - is there some way to get it to take 1x? Every time I change it - it jumps back to 2x and iOS wants 1x... maybe a feedback. Also Xcode seems to want 3 icons - but there are 6 iOS ones exported. How do I get the other 3 in there? It does seem pretty easy to import PNG's from Sketch and order them and move pieces around. I guess you can save individual lighting for each icon mode.

Canvas Previews (targeting macOS) in both Xcode 16.4 & Xcode 26 fail to load, when the project imports a Swift package that imports and uses WebKit. I'm on macOS 15.5. Tried also to bring minimum targets of both the project and the package to 15.0. I see that there are some work-arounds for iOS simulator but nothing for the Mac. Anyone facing the same problem?

With Xcode 14, the device selection on the bottom of the storyboard canvas has changed, and the iPhone 12 and 13 mini screens are no longer there, as well as there only being one model of iPad. Is there a way to add more devices to this section? I have simulators installed for these devices, and this is the way I've been checking compatibility so far, but this is not sustainable. I appreciate any help that you can give me.

Hi Apple Developer Community. I have a problem with opening my Xcode File in Xcode 16. It says, that a specific File is missing and I don't know how to resolve this. Can someone help me? Thanks for the help :)

Every time my app runs in the simulator I see this error: Warning: Error creating LLDB target at path '/Users/aaronsmith/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Babylist-ahvzjxxrpawwqhecszqeyvjstfca/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Babylist.app'- using an empty LLDB target which can cause slow memory reads from remote devices: the specified architecture 'arm64--' is not compatible with 'x86_64-apple-ios13.2.0-simulator' in '/Users/aaronsmith/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Babylist-ahvzjxxrpawwqhecszqeyvjstfca/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Babylist.app/Babylist' What is this? I'm on an M1, no build issues. It makes me think the simulator is running under rosetta with x68_64. But I didn't choose to do that. Mac OS Ventura. Xcode 14 RC.
