Not a question, but a surprise. Did I miss something, but apparently there has been no new beta release (16.3) since Release of 16.2 on Dec 11. 2 months without betas is really unusual (in fact, it never happened and usually, next beta n+1 is even released before the final release of version n). So does that mean 16.3 will be a major update ? Wait and see.

I'm missing something. I have a project in Xcode 16.2. I have made two commits. I did not tag the commits. I need to compare what is in the first commit to the current state of a file. The instructions say that when comparing files there is a button at the bottom to select the commit to compare with, but I can't find that button. It looks like I can only compare the current state of the file with the last commit.

Context I'm trying to profile a binary (a simple C++ program compiled into dummy.o) and collect CPU Counters data. I have a configuration that works fine from the Instruments Counters GUI (see Screenshots below). I've exported this configuration to a template file named prof1.tracetemplate. Problem When I try to run a recording with that same template from the command line with xctrace (I also tried with sudo): $ xctrace record --template prof1.tracetemplate --launch dummy.o I get the following errors: Starting recording with the prof1 template. Launching process: dummy.o. Ctrl-C to stop the recording Run issues were detected (trace is still ready to be viewed): [Error] Unexpected failure: Couriers have returned unexpectedly. [Error] Failed to start the recording: Failed to force all hardware CPU counters: 13. [Error] Failed to pause recording session: Cannot pause session session unless it's running. Current state: kSessionError [Error] Unexpected failure: Data source agent failed to arm. Recording failed with errors. Saving output file...

Swift 6.1 introduces package traits, which are great. But sometimes one might want to have a trait that is not enabled by default, and in such cases you will still want to be able to unit test them. Can we get an option, perhaps in the test plan configuration, that would allow us to specify traits that should be enabled when compiling for testing, even if those traits are not enabled by default? Bonus points if we could have multiple test plans that each build with a different set of traits, and running all the tests would cause the package to be built multiple times, so that all possible combinations of traits could be properly unit tested.

From time to time while I'm editing code, Xcode 15.0.1 says "The file 'project.xcworkspace' has been modified by another application" asking me "Keep Xcode Version" or "Use Version on Disk". I didn't see this before 15.0.1 (or 14.1.1). Who changed the file? What should my answer be? Thanks.

I have a SwiftUI RealityKit app, and I am writing UI tests for it. The app has entities that have children. All entities have an accessibilityComponent so that they can be found by UI tests. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent, the UI tests find the parent. If I set isAccessibilityElement = false for the parent, and isAccessibilityElement = true for the child, the UI tests find the child. If I set isAccessibilityElement = true for the parent as well as for the child, the UI tests find only the parent. How can I make parent and child entities both be accessible by the UI tests?

Hi. I'm currently working on Xcode CI build uploading ipa to TestFlight. Building archive is successful but exportArchive is failed with error "exportArchive Failed to Use Accounts". How can I fix this error?

Hi, You're here because your project has issues related to Xcode Previews or Swift Previews. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of any of the following: An error in your SwiftUI app, Xcode previews, or on-device previews. A configuration error in your Xcode project, including any third-party dependencies or packages. A system issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, or in Xcode Previews. Based on your request, I need more information about your SwiftUI app when rendering Xcode Previews or on-device previews. Specifically, I’ll need the diagnostics Swift Previews generates to make sure I understand the error encountered by the preview system. Please create a report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested in the instructions below. For issues with macOS, Mac Catalyst, on-device iOS, or on-device visionOS previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics: Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device. Reproduce the error while previewing on device, taking note of the timestamp when the error occurred. Attach the Previews diagnostics, sysdiagnose from your Mac, a sysdiagnose from the previewing iOS or visionOS device. For issues with Xcode Previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics: Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device. Reproduce the error in Xcode Previews, if you haven’t already done so. If an error banner appears in the canvas, click the "Diagnostics" button within the banner, then go to Step 5; otherwise, continue to Step 4. If the error banner is missing, navigate to the menu in Xcode: Editor > Canvas > Diagnostics In the presented sheet, click the "Generate Report" button. Attach a zip file containing the diagnostic report to your bug report (it will be named something like previews-diagnostics-0123456789.zip). Submitting your feedback Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the following information is included in your feedback: with the Swift Previews logging profile installed, attach the sysdiagnose logs gathered after reproducing the issue the Previews diagnostics generated by Xcode timestamp identifying when the issue was reproduced focused sample Xcode project that reproduces the issue (if applicable) screenshots or videos of the error (optional) Please include all requested information to prevent delays in my investigation. After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond to your original Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your SwiftUI app, a configuration issue within your Xcode project, or an underlying issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, in Xcode Previews, or on-device previews.

I have had my Apple Vision Pro headset working with Xcode before, but it has been a while since testing in the headset. Today, Xcode on my M1 Mac Studio could not see my Apple Vision Pro to run code on the headset. I have updated my headset to visionOS 2.4 developer beta Both Mac and headset are on the same Wi-Fi network (I am typing this on my Mac via Mac Virtual Display). Headset has developer mode turned on. Initially I tried on the latest macOS (15.3.x) an Xcode (16.2) releases, but Xcode failed to find the headset. I installed the lated Xcode beta (16.3 beta), but it still failed to find the headset. I installed the latest developer beta on my Mac (15.4), but neither Xcode (16.2) nor Xcode beta (16.3) can find the headset. When I try to manage devices in Xcode, my Apple Vision Pro headset does not appear. Any idea what I am missing?

From last week all crash for watchOS has been broken. The latest version 15.22.1 missing all stack trace and showing weird as attached. All the crashes for previous versions totally disappeared.

I just made clean data on simulator then started getting the below error built on Xcode ? Showing Recent Issues Entitlements file "Clinic.entitlements" was modified during the build, which is not supported. You can disable this error by setting 'CODE_SIGN_ALLOW_ENTITLEMENTS_MODIFICATION' to 'YES', however this may cause the built product's code signature or provisioning profile to contain incorrect entitlements.

I have a command line tool that zsh refuses to run when built for Apple Silicon or as a univerisal binary (the specific message is zsh: killed TOOL_NAME). I can only get it to run if I build it exclusively for Intel/Rosetta. Running/debugging from within Xcode works fine for any architecture. The tool is a very simple C/C++ unix command-line tool; it doesn't have any external dependencies beyond the C runtime and the C++ STL. I suspect something in code signing is going awry, but I've tried various team and certificate combinations without any luck. I've also tried enabling/disabling the app sandbox, also without any luck. (The app is not for distribution so it doesn't really need to be code signed at all.) Any suggestions?

I am trying to configure scenes to capture a redirect URL after a successful login attempt. I am using OAuth code flow. This is the code I have so far: ios_app.swift import SwiftUI @main struct ios_appApp: App { @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared @StateObject private var authState = AuthState() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(\.managedObjectContext, persistenceController.container.viewContext) .environmentObject(authState) } } } AppDelegate.swift import UIKit import AWSMobileClient import GoogleSignIn class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { print("AppDelegate: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions") AWSMobileClient.default().initialize { (userState, error) in if let userState = userState { print("UserState: \(userState)") } else if let error = error { print("Error initializing AWSMobileClient: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.restorePreviousSignIn { user, error in if let error = error { print("Error restoring previous Google Sign-In: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } return true } } SceneDelegate.swift import UIKit import SwiftUI import GoogleSignIn class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { print("SceneDelegate: scene willConnectTo") guard let windowScene = (scene as?

"No scheme")") } } func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) { print("SceneDelegate: continue userActivity") if userActivity.activityType == NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb { if let url = userActivity.webpageURL { handleUniversalLink(url: url) } } } private func handleUniversalLink(url: URL) { print("SceneDelegate: Handling universal link: \(url)") if url.path.contains("/mobile-auth-callback") { let queryItems = URLComponents(url: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)?.queryItems let code = queryItems?.first(where: { $0.name == "code" })?.value if let code = code { print("SceneDelegate: Received code: \(code)") AuthService.shared.exchangeCodeForToken(code: code) } else { print("SceneDelegate: No code found, handling email/password callback") AuthService.shared.handleEmailPasswordCallback(url: url) } } } } Also introduced this configuration in Info.plist: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>UIApplicationSceneManifest</key> <dict> <key>UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes</key> <true/> <key>UISceneConfigurations</key> <dict> <key>UIWindowSceneSessionRoleApplication</key> <array> <dict> <key>UISceneConfigurationName</key> <string>Default Configuration</string> <key>UISceneDelegateClassName</key> <string>ios-app.SceneDelegate</string> </dict> </array> </dict> </dict> ...Other parameters </dict> </plist> I am using the simulator to launch my app and can see AppDelegate related logs but I am not seeing any SceneDelegate logs (I suppose because it is not being initialized nor called). I have tried restarting the computer/Xcode, clean and rebuild the application but none of the things I tested work. Is there any part of my code wrong? Any other idea here?

The 'view' and 'modifier' were displayed on my particular project, but it is no longer displayed. I don't know which shortcut key was hidden. What should I do to display it again?

I have a SwiftuI App which includes an App Clip. There is one target for the iOS app and one for the App Clip. All good. But I want to create a new target for the test flight app so that test users can distinguish it from the App Store app. E.g. Test Flight app has a different icon asset file in the target but is identical in all other aspects. However, when I try to build the test flight target I see the message: The com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers entitlement (...]') of an App Clip must match the application-identifier entitlement ('...') of its containing parent app. This implies that I’d have to change the entitlement of the app clip, which would mess up the production version so I clearly don’t want to go that route. Any ideas how to overcome this conflict?

Hello, I recently received feedback from two users that they charged twice after entering their password when trying to initiate payment on the app. I checked my front-end and back-end codes, both of which only initiate one order, but I don't know why the user deducts two payments after entering the password. I hope everyone can help me analyze this problem and how it came about? Additionally, I wonder if there is a possibility that the system may prompt the user to enter their password again due to network issues, resulting in the deduction of two payments. But the user told us that they only entered the password once (I don't know if the user lied). I am unable to find how the problem arose. I hope you can help me analyze how to solve this problem? If you also encounter such a problem, can you teach me how to solve it?

I have a VPN installed (Global Protect) on my company computer, which is a MacBook Pro M2, to access the company network, internal URLs, websites, and run the app I work on. However, even with the VPN installed, I am having trouble accessing certain resources. The solution found was to manually configure the proxies for my Wi-Fi network. After configuring the proxies, I was able to access all the company's URLs and everything I needed. However, the Xcode Simulator is not picking up these network configurations, and when I try to run the project, it does not work. How can I solve this?

In Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) - and previous versions too, the download container in the Devices & Simulators functionality no longer works. It will start downloading the container, however it will also: show NO download progress fail to download the whole container (the downloaded container is missing whole directories, eg. AppData/Library is missing - where my application stores the CoreData db) show no errors This was tested with the XCode version stated above (and previous versions) and with iPhone XR (18.1.1 - MR42CN/A) and with iPad (17.7.2 - MR7F2FD/A). How can I debug this issue / make the Xcode download the whole container? Running on Mac mini 15.1.1 (24B91).

I'm getting a fatal error in a preview: fatalError in Environment+Objects.swift at line 34. Anyone any idea how to find this file

I started using on-demand resources for some data assets. After that, the Swift Asset Symbol Extension feature began to fail in the Xcode editor. Even though the app builds and runs fine, the Xcode editor shows errors, indicating that there is no extension variable for my color and image assets. I submitted feedback and updated it after each new Xcode release. However, I have not received any responses, and the problem persists. The Xcode versions I tested: 15.3, 15.4, 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 Steps to reproduce this error: Create a new app project (SwiftUI, Swift). Create a new color asset named "myBackground." In ContentView, add a background modifier to a view: .background(Color.myBackground). Auto-completion will work, and there are no issues. Create a new data asset named "myData." Add the "On Demand Resource" tag to "myData" with the tag "some_tag." Create a new color asset named "myOtherBackground" and make its color different from "myBackground." In ContentView, try to replace the background with Color.myOtherBackground. It will not be listed in auto-completion and will show the error "Type 'Color' has no member 'myOtherBackground.'" However, it will still compile and show "myOtherBackground" in the preview, simulator, or on the device. You will start to see the failed "Project Build Preparation" report in the Reports Navigator in Xcode. According to the report, the "GenerateAssetSymbols" command fails.
