I have an app on the App Store for many years enabling users to post text into clouds in augmented reality. Yet last week abruptly upon installing the app on the iPhone the screen started going totally dark and a list of little comprehensible logs came up of the kind:
ARSCNCompositor <0x300ad0e00>: ARSCNCompositor (0, 0) initialization failed. Matting is not set up properly.
many times, then
RWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to update pose [PredictorFailure] for timestamp 870.392108
ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to predict pose [1] for timestamp 870.392108
again several times and then:
ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: SLAM error callback: Error Domain=Slam Error Code=7 "Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data" UserInfo={NSDescription=Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data, NSLocalizedFailureReason=SlamEngineNodeGroup Failure: IMU issue: gyro data stream verification failed [Significant data drop]. Failed on timestamp: 870.413247, Last known timestamp: 865.350198, Delta: 5.063049, System timestamp: 870.415781, Delta between system and frame: 0.002534. }
and then again the pose issues several times.
I hoped the new beta version would have solved the issue, but it was not the case. Unfortunately I do not know if that depends on the beta version or some other issue, given the app may be not installed on the Mac simulator.

I've updated my computer to Sequoia 15, Xcode 16 and now no matter what I do, I am unable to work with Swift UI previews.
I get this error each time I try to run the preview:
Failed to launch app in reasonable time
I have done:
Uninstall/Re-install Xcode
Deleted derived data
Deleted the simulator data
Used DevCleaner to remove all data related to Xcode
Searched all websites about this issue. ( Non shown a good solution )
Write this question on here.
If anyone has found a solution, please let me know how you fixed it.
My app start up has became horrid. It takes 1 minute to open SQLlite database for my rust core. Impossible to work...
I have Address Sanitizer, Thread Perf Checker and Thread Sanitizer disabled...
Xcode is throwing an error when attempting to report test coverage after running unit tests.

I am facing a recurring issue with Xcode iOS simulator. I want to preview a SwiftUI for iOS in Xcode, but the Simulator app fails to boot up.
I receive the follow error in Xcode:
Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update.
I have tried the following:
Deleting Xcode cache
Reinstalling iOS Simulator runtimes
Completely uninstalling Xcode and deleting all developer data, then reinstalling
None of the above steps fix the problem. The only fix I have found is to completely reinstall MacOS 15.4.1. THIS IS TERRIBLE!
I have already reinstalled MacOS 15.4.1 once to fix the issue, and I don't want to do it again. If there is another solution, please help me find it!
Thank you!!
I am experiencing an issue where XCode reverts .xccurrentversion file in my iOS app to the first version whenever xcodebuild is run or whenever XCode is started. This means I can build the app and run tests in XCode if I discard the reversion .xccurrentversion on XCode start. However, testing on CI is impossible because the version the tests rely on are reverted whenever xcodebuild is run.
The commands I run to reproduce the issue
❯ git status
Changes not staged for commit:

(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

Is anyone aware of any solution? Is there a recommended way I can run diagnostics on XCode and file a feedback?
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?
All is fine in Xcode15, no LLDB errors whatsoever, but in Xcode16 I can't get any variable displayed in the console because of the following error:
error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$......." was not found (cached)
error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work.
I've checked the output of swift-healthcheck and there are several messages like this:
SwiftASTContextForExpressions(module: "ROA", cu: "ROA+ViewLayer.swift")::LoadOneModule() -- Missing Swift module or Clang module found for "UIKit", "imported" via SwiftDWARFImporterDelegate. Hint: Register Swift modules with the linker using -add_ast_path.
I added -add_ast_path to the OTHER_LDFLAGS in the faulty module's build settings but no luck.
How can I debug my project in Xcode16?

Hello.
I'm seeing an inconsistent behavior where breakpoints I set in my (Swift) iOS app behave normally when I'm debugging on a device or on a simulator running iOS 17.x, but when I try using simulators of iOS 16 or 15 the breakpoints get ignored completely. I also observe that the breakpoints remain solid blue and do NOT adopt the dotted blue outline, as experienced by other users.
I've seen a few posts on here and on SO about the general issue of ignored breakpoints (with no conclusive answer AFAIK), but I haven't seen any where the behavior varies with the SDK being used. The behavior is repeatable and predictable (within the same app at least). I am not adding the breakpoints after building/running, and I'm sure the logic reaches the lines with the breakpoints (and again, whenever I switch to an iOS 17 simulator, execution does pause as expected with the exact same breakpoints).
Things I've tried and looked into:
Clean up project build folder
Delete and re-install simulators (iOS 16.4 and 15.5)
Deleted the entire derived data directory, as well as the CoreSimulator one.
Confirm the build configuration is Debug, and the "Debug executable" option is checked.
inspect various build flags mentioned in other posts:
{Swift compiler - Code generation - Optimization level - Debug: -0none; Debug information format: DWARF (I also tried DWARF with dSYM with no impact)}.
Most of my settings are on the plain vanilla/out of the box side, with only a couple of SPM dependencies, and I've been maintaining the same app for about 5 years and don't think I've come across this behavior before.
Currently using Xcode 15.1. Deployment target is 14.0.
Thank you.
Xcode 16 unindents lines if I choose a code-completion and I cannot find a way to stop this - does anybody know how to stop it?
Here's a link to a gif demonstrating this problem - it's incredibly frustrating.

Several app developers are struggling with the inability to provide a separate app icons that looks nice on older macOS versions while at the same time provide Icon Composer icons that look great on macOS Tahoe 26. An ability to provide separate icons is super important to those who have app icons that follow the curvature of the default icon borders (as the corner rounding radius is different for Sequia and Tahoe). Take a look at this for example:
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/7564#issuecomment-3042061547
Question: Is there a definitive/recommended way to address this issue? How can a developer add a glass icon variant that looks good on Tahoe and provide a bitmap icon for older macOS versions?
Some background info:
Prior to Xcode 26 beta 4, one could add an App Icon to Assets to be used as app icon for legacy macOS versions (Sequia and older) and use a new Icon Composer icon (placed in the project root) for macOS Tahoe 26. Enabling "Include all app icon assets" under target settings ensured that older macOS versions would use the old app icons while Tahoe the new Icon Composer glass one.
Since Xcode beta 4 this technique no longer works. Xcode instead insists on populating Assets.car with Icon Composer generated variants, disregarding the App Icon provided in Assets. Although the App Icon in Assets makes its way to a .incs file in the app bundle's Contents/Resources folder, but that is not used by macOS anymore and is there for some compatibility purposes. The Assets.car file (which matters) only contains the variants generated by Icon Composer and does not contain the png icons provided in the Assets.
We are trying to track down some build failures that started happening only in our Jenkins CI environment.

Key facts we've noted:
Locally I cannot reproduce the problem
We did not see this problem with previous Xcode 26 betas
If I remote into the machine and run build commands from the command line I cannot reproduce the problem
The very first build succeeds, every build after that on this machine fails from jenkins
actool --version is spitting out the version information for ibtool, but only in the context of running from a jenkins agent. If I run this locally or if I remote into the CI machine and run this from the terminal I cannot reproduce this behavior.
Command line tools appear to be installed, xcode-select --install fails if I try to do it from the command line.
We've tried to recreate the build agents for this jenkins environment exactly as they were for all previous betas and xcode versions, and still get this behavior.
Xcode 26 Beta 5 XIB Compiler outputs NIBs with dependency on class that isn't available pre-macOS 26
When Xcode 26 Beta 5 compiles my XIBs into NIBs, it spits out a dependency on a class that isn't available pre-macOS 26, named _TtCC6AppKit14NSScrollPocketP33_EC3F85FAB7755D56E669206D2B17725B12BackdropView.
All XIBs have a deployment target of macOS 12, so in theory this should be avoided. Even if this is a new (internal) class to macOS 26, the dependency is a problem when the developer is asking to deploy to prior versions.
Has anyone else run into this regression? What could possibly be causing the XIB compiler to inject this dependency? The resulting NIBs don't load on anything prior to macOS 26.
Hello,
I am currently working on personal project based on Matter.
I need to create a Basic Video Player as specified in Matter's standard embedding the Media Playback Cluster.
I went through the reading of how Apple now supports Matter as a standard :
linkText
My understanding of the following schematic, is alongside :
HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) Framework API
Related HAP accessories underneath the homeKit framework.
Developpers also find under the Homekit framework :
CHIP (Connected Home IP) Framework API
Related Matter accessories this time
Both types of accessories/devices can be commissioned in the HomeKit ecosystem seemlessly.
Each framework has it's documentation :
HAP : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/homekit/hmhomemanager
CHIP : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter
I want through the process of installing XCode and the HomeKit Accessory Simulator. In the list of HomeKit Accessories I did not see any Media related devices :
The list of currently supported devices is limited as I read here and will be enriched with time :
https://support.apple.com/en-us/102135#:~:text=The%20Home%20app%20currently%20supports,%2C%20temperature%2C%20and%20humidity).
In the meantime, as I read the matter documentation, I read several references made to the Media Playback :
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/mtrclustermediaplayback
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/mtrbaseclustermediaplayback
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/clusters#Interacting-with-the-Media-Playback-cluster
My questions are :
Are Matter Basic Video Players, (Media Playback) supported in HomeKit ?
Why aren't they listed in HomeKit Accessory Simulator ?
How can I add a Basic Video Player in HomeKit and display it's Media Playback controls once I have added the device to HomeKit ?
Thank you for your Answer.
Regards
David
When I attempt to preview my code, I encounter an error message stating, “Cannot preview in this file: Failed to launch (App Name).” This issue is specific to this particular app. I attempted creating a new project, and that works fine.
This is what it says in the diagnostics:

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.
Since a few days, I'm trying to fetch our private SPM repo hosted on Azure via Xcode but without success. Actually they now accept only ssh key RSA-SHA2-256 or RSA-SHA2-512.
So I created a new SSH key, but it seems the problem persists when I try to fetch spm repo or git clone via xcode:
"You’re using ssh-rsa that is about to be deprecated and your request has been blocked intentionally. Any SSH session using SSH-RSA is subject to brown out (failure during random time periods). Please use rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512 instead. For more details see aka.ms/ado-ssh-rsa-deprecation. remote: ERROR_SSH_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER (7) (-20)"
Even so I'm choosing the good new ssh key, it seems Xcode is sending wrong information about the new generated ssh key.
Anyone is experiencing the same here?
