Hello All, I am new to apple ecosystem. We have a xcode project whose code is scattered across different repos. We are trying setup CI/CD for this Xcode project to get build so that we could know build issue. Clone/Update all repos – which I can do via some script Generate xcode projects from sources synced in step 1. This is where we want your help. How should we approach this? What apple suggest for this ? In this step we don't want to use any third part tool (like CMake) to generate Xcode projects. Build targets to know build errors – This we can easily do via xcodebuild command line tool. Please share you input/thought on this. Your input is highly appreciated.

Hello, I got a weird issue with xcodebuild, the tool gives the error that requested device could not be found but I already add it. The issue is solved if I remove the -scheme (and deveriedDataPath. Do you have any idea what is wrong with the parameter or it is the xcodebuild error itself? haiphan@MacMini MetalTest % xcodebuild -project MetalTest.xcodeproj -destination 'platform=macOS,name=Any Mac' -scheme MetalTest Command line invocation: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -project MetalTest.xcodeproj -destination "platform=macOS,name=Any Mac" -scheme MetalTest 2025-12-05 12:18:25.594 xcodebuild[17581:2982049] Writing error result bundle to /var/folders/x7/rmx20t393rx49t6gyx3fh_vdmz2lm8/T/ResultBundle_2025-05-12_12-18-0025.xcresult xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier: { platform:macOS, name:Any Mac } The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.

Xcode 26.2 RC has been out for over 24 hours and it's still not possible to submit apps.

My Xcode does not show my Recent projects for a while now. I have different projects on my Mac that I open using Xcode and it can't remember the recent ones and never shows it. Does anyone know how to fix that? I've tried to clean caches, restart the Mac, download the Xcode again... MacOs: Tahoe 26.1 Xcode: 26.1.1

Hi, I have been using Claude with Xcode 26.1.1 and it was working fine till a couple of days ago, when it started giving me an error message on every query: "Message from Anthropic: This request would exceed your account's rate limit. Please try again later." I am on the Pro model, and I can use the Claude.ai website just fine. The usage limits on the website show I've used only 11% of the weekly limit, and 4% of the 'current session'. So I'm wondering if this is an Xcode bug / issue, and if there is a workaround. I have restarted Xcode, restarted the Mac, logged out of Anthropic and logged back in, tried Xcode 26.2 beta as well, but no luck.

If I am using reverse-geocode to a state to determine if the State is Texas then how can I test this?

I'm looking for a way to make the following possible in Xcode (26.0 or later): I select one or more lines of code. I then enter a hotkey (or select a menu item) that results in adding the line: #ifdef SOME_MACRO before the selection and adding the line: #endif after the selection. Example: Start with the following lines of code: BOOL x = NO; int y = 4; NSString *str = @"Hello"; If I then highlight the int y = 4; line and use the proper hotkey or menu, the result would be: BOOL x = NO; #ifdef SOME_MACRO int y = 4; #endif NSString *str = @"Hello"; Is something like this possible in Xcode? I looked at code snippets but that doesn't seem to support wrapping existing code. I looked at the Xcode Settings under Editor and Shortcuts and didn't see a way to add such a custom shortcut.

When I try to validate my app I get the following error: Invalid bundle. Because your app supports Multitasking on iPad, you need to include the LaunchScreen.storyboard launch storyboard file in your com.augmentedReality.virtualTags bundle. Use UlLaunchScreen instead if the app's MinimumOSVersion is 14 or higher and you prefer to configure the launch screen without storyboards. For details, see: https:// developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/ uilaunchstoryboardname (ID: 236f630a-a014-48e8-910a-77d9c0ff6f51) What should I do to fix it? In the previous Xcode version and on another app it did not appear. MacBook Pro M5, Tahow 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1

After having used Obj-C and C++ for years, I recently (~6 months) moved to Swift, which is hard for me but most often sends less obscure error messages (not always). My trouble is 1- why is it soooooo long (sometimes up to 20s - that's horrible) to get an object's variables accessible in the debugger? 2- In Xcode 16 why is it no longer possible to arrange my files as I did before (organised into folders from within Xcode - horrible when you get a bigger and bigger project)? 3- Why has it become impossible to see the retention cycles and retaining objects from with the memoryGraph (it's worth ~nothing) now !

Currently Xcode has iOS simulators that allow easily testing apps on older versions of iOS. It would be helpful if there was also a macOS simulator for testing apps on older versions of macOS. FB21229682 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/724

I have been using Xcode Version 26.1.1 on macOS Tahoe Version 26.1. In VIM mode, whenever I quickly tap d twice, to delete the complete line, most of the time Xcode crashes. Is anyone else facing this issue? Should I move to any older version of Xcode or any other solve for this?

I use CI/CD dsym, downloaded into local directories, but there seems no direct way using it in Xcode

when does an intel macbook pro 2020 get the last xcode update i.e when does this type of mac stop to be capable of publishing on app store ?

I have a view inside a Swift Package that relies on an external Swift Package. My Preview Canvas breaks as soon as I use code from the external package: import ComplexModule // From swift-numerics import SwiftUI struct MyView: View { // Commenting out this line will make Previews work let number: Complex<Double> = 123 var body: some View { Text("Hello World") } } #Preview { MyView() } This is part of the error the preview emits: == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: GroupRecordingError Error encountered during update group #33 ================================== | [Remote] JITError: Runtime linking failure | | Additional Link Time Errors: | Symbols not found: [ _$sSd10RealModule0A0AAMc, _$s13ComplexModule0A0VMn, _$s13ComplexModule0A0V14integerLiteralACyxG07IntegerD4TypeQz_tcfC ] | | ================================== | | | [Remote] LLVMError | | | | LLVMError: LLVMError(description: "Failed to materialize symbols: { (static-MyTarget, { __replacement_tag$1 }) }") Did anyone else see this before?

This is a M4 iMac 32GB 2TB where over the last few months memory use has been crazy. The worst offender is SimulatorTrampoline. I just opened a default iOS app and ran it in a simulator. So this is as simple as it gets: there's 1 SF Symbol and "Hello, world!" text. iStatMenus shows SimulatorTrampoline at 10.7GB, Safari 5.2GB, Xcode at 3.2GB, and swap at 548MB meanwhile ActivityMonitor shows the top memory use of Ildb-rpc-server at 2.30GB, Xcode at 523.4MB Swap is 548MB is the only number that matches and the fact that Memory used is ~26GB total. Is this amount of memory use normal? Is iStat menu reporting something different than Activity monitor. This computer used to never swap. Any suggestions?

I am getting the following error: " Unable to process request - PLA Update available: You currently don't have access to this membership resource. To resolve this issue, agree to the latest Program License Agreement in your developer account." Seems to be straight forward enough but after agreeing to the updated PLA I still get the error..but weirdly only on one title and on one device. I can compile and run the app on my iPad, but it fails on the iPhone. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I think this is a simple issue. I got the following error message" "PreviewDevice is ignored in a #Preview macro. Use the device picker at the bottom of the Canvas to change which device type is used for the preview. (from macro 'Preview')" after this line: ".previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone 17 Pro"))" But in my Canvas I do not see the device picker. Thank you.

It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

This is using: **Unity 6000.2.7f - latest ARKit etc Xcode 26.1 ** This is going to iPad/iPhone/iOS and I have succesfully built to the iPad before, but updates to the software seem to have added these errors in. Basically all updated as much as possible. Originally I got 5 errors, but updates brought it down.

Hello, I am currently working on a project that requires the use of the NFCTagReaderSession API to perform read and write operations on NFC tags (ISO15693 and other standard NFC tag types). According to the Apple documentation, CoreNFC and NFCTagReaderSession are fully supported on iPhone devices. However, the behavior and availability on iPad devices are not clearly documented. I would like to request clarification on the following points: Is NFCTagReaderSession officially supported on iPad devices? We have verified that some iPad models equipped with NFC hardware still do not expose support for this API. Is there an up-to-date list of iPad models that support CoreNFC? The documentation currently mentions only “iPhone 7 or later,” with no reference to iPad models. Does Apple plan to enable NFCTagReaderSession on iPad in the future? This information is important for our product roadmap, as several of our deployments rely on tablets. Our goal is to determine whether NFC tag read/write operations are intended to be available exclusively on iPhone, or whether there are existing or upcoming iPad models that will support CoreNFC as well. Thank you in advance for your support and for any clarification you can provide. Kind regards,
