I have a developer certificate but not a distribution certificate (its not my Apple account). Its possible to create an .xcarchive with a developer certificate, but what about a .ipa? After creating an archive, non of the distribution options within XCode will work without a dist cert. Is there another way to make an .ipa with just a dev cert? And if so is that going to be a dev build rather than a prod build (i.e. the .ipa would only install onto provisioned devices and would be no good for uploading to testflight for example)

Hi, is it possible to prevent App I’m developing from supporting landscape mode on iPhone ? Is there sort of setting in Xcode for that or in code ? — kind Regards

Hi everyone, I'm new to Xcode and iOS development. I've encountered an issue where asynchronous tasks seem to not execute in Xcode Canvas, but they work fine in the simulator. Can anyone explain why this might be happening or what I could do to fix it? Thank you for your help! struct PartnerProfileView: View { @State private var showSheet: Bool = true let partnerName: String var body: some View { ZStack(alignment: .bottom) { Color("EFEFF4_0F2534") ScrollView(showsIndicators: false) { headerSection() infoSection() .padding(.bottom, 5) sectionTitle("Other Skills") skillsGrid() sectionTitle("···") dynamicsSection() } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) CustomTabBar() } .navigationBarHidden(true) .ignoresSafeArea(edges: .all) .onAppear { print("PartnerProfileView received") Task { await BottomCustomPopup().present() } } .onChange(of: showSheet) { oldState, newValue in print("oldState \(oldState)") print("newValue \(newValue)") } } } //@MainActor struct BottomCustomPopup: BottomPopup { var body: some View { HStack(spacing: 0) { Text("Hello World") Spacer() Button(action: { Task { await dismissLastPopup() }}) { Text("Dismiss") } } .padding(.vertical, 20) .padding(.leading, 24) .padding(.trailing, 16) } }

I imported few files in my Xcode project from other projects using drag and drop. Even though the files are copied in the new project and there are no softlinks pointing to the location of other project, the issue is whenever I do a git commit and push, Xcode keeps showing all the projects to commit to rather than just the current project. There seem to be no setting to permanently remove git dependency of other projects. Is there anyway to remove references to other projects?

Hello, I have installed the latest Xcode (v 16.2). I would like to code for minimum iOS installation v 16. The default Hello World code in Xcode 16.2 has error messages because some of the code requires minimum target installation of iOS v 17. Please can you tell me how to get the default Hello World code for minimum target iOS 16 to show in Xcode 16? (I considered installing Xcode 14, but the minimum Xcode for deployment is v15) Thank you for any help

Got a Watch SE recently only to find out that I can't deploy apps to it from Xcode even once. I always get the message "Connecting to Watch" and "Reconnecting to Watch". Tried with Xcode 16 and then with 16.2. Same result. For countless times, I have tried every possible solution posted on this forum and elsewhere but to no avail. Filed a feedback, no reply yet from Apple. Looks like something is seriously broken. Please fix this. FB16122816

Hi, What's the difference Swift Packages Frameworks ? for me I see them the same as not an expert developer ? Which should I use ?for example for a SwiftUI UI Kit to be distributed online for sale ? Kind Regards

Hello Everyone, Planning to add one Devoloper to my team for Xcode app development. whats best to configure Xcloud ,Git and push updates to the main branches . and i prefer not to use third party software or additional tools . Thanks a lot and much appreciated

I've recently set up new M4 Mac Minis with macOS Sequoia and Xcode 16. After logging into my Apple account in Xcode, everything works fine initially. However, the next day—or sometimes just a few hours later—my builds fail, and when I check the Accounts tab in Xcode's Settings, my account is missing. I have to re-add and re-authenticate my account, only for the same issue to recur later. To investigate further, I upgraded an older Mac Mini from macOS Sonoma and Xcode 15.1.0 to macOS Sequoia and Xcode 16.2. Unfortunately, this machine now exhibits the same behavior, suggesting the issue is related to either macOS Sequoia or Xcode 16. Has there been a change in Xcode or macOS that causes this automatic removal of accounts? Is there a solution or workaround to prevent Xcode from removing my Apple account? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

After updating Xcode my app stoped running on real device

In my Swift app, Xcode has decided to put various important settings like, SWIFT_VERSION under "User Defined." Does anyone know why?

Hey, I wanted to create a Mac-OS application. Normally I only code iPhone apps. But as soon as I want to display anything on the preview, it loads, just as normal, and then the throbber/progress indicator disappears and the preview canvas stays gray like it used to be before. I also don't get any error messages. Only one time after trying different things I got one message saying: "Could not launch Preview Shell." and "Could not create FBSOpenApplicationService." I also searched for a few solutions and tried some but none of them seemed to work. In the DiagnosticReports were some files of the time but I didn't seem to find anything helpful in there and they don't appear when I reopen my project or switch from PreviewMode "My Mac" to "iPhone 16 Pro". When I launch the app on a simulator it works perfectly fine but this is quite annoying. Thanks for trying to help me!

Hello, Switching Core Data Editor Style has been broken since Xcode 14 Beta 1. Although I can get by, it would be convenient to switch to the Graphical ER diagram style to "visually" study the model for an App. Regards and Thank You, John

I followed these two resources and setup history tracking in SwiftData. SwiftData History tracking: Track model changes with SwiftData history For data deduplication: Sharing Core Data objects between iCloud users In the sample app (CoreDataCloudKitShare), a uuid: UUID field is used for deduplication logic. It sorts the entities by their uuids, reserves the first one, and marks the others as deduplicated. Would it be a viable solution to use a createdAt: Date field for the sort operation instead of a uuid field, or are dates inherently problematic?

It's about importing the package dependencies Snapkit. The Add Packages added it correctly as per screenshot, but if I want to reference the chart like this.. `// Line Chart LineChartView(data: clickData, title: "Clicks per Day", legend: "Daily Clicks") .padding() It got me some error /Main View/AffiliateViewController.swift:59:17 Cannot find 'LineChartView' in scope ` Here is how the Snapkit sits in XCode. Do I need to add something more like dependencies so that Xcode does not flag it as cannot find?

I am trying to update my AboutView.xib file (https://git.callpipe.com/AccelerateNetworks/an-mobile-ios/-/blob/main/Classes/Base.lproj/AboutView.xib) through the xcode interface builder, and the changes that I make are correctly reflected in the wysiwyg, as well as in the file itself. However, I whenever the app is built and installed, it shows an older version of the about page. Things I have tried to resolve this are (not listed in order): Product > Clean Build Folder Uninstall and reinstall the app Restart the phone Restart xcode Restart the computer Test a build created through xcode cloud rm -rv ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode rm -rf "$(getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR)/org.llvm.clang/ModuleCache" Changing something in the xib file (hoping it will recognize a change) The only time the about page has shown something different is when I deleted the xib entirely. The project still built and deployed to the test device, but the about page was completely blank. This tells me I am working with the correct file, and when I look at the xml contents of the file, I can't find any of the old strings that are showing up. What the editor shows: What the app shows:

I had successfully distributed my app months ago and trying same today and get "The archive contains nothing that can be signed. Verify that your build process has compiled binaries and copied in bundled resources." message when I click the "Distribute app" button. My project is a simple iOS xcode project that I had success in same operation back on Feb 8, 2024, same project code and settings.

Hi, since a while now, I've noticed that in Xcode 15 (beta 8), my iOS device running iOS 17 (latest beta), I can't seem to disable the setting "Connect via Network" in the Devices and Simulators window. The controls are disabled, and stuck to 'on'. I often also have issues with the 'Installing to device' step while development my apps, where a reboot of the iPad is required. My guess is that it gets stuck/confused how it is supposed to deploy and my network setup is a bit complicated due to VPN's, tight WiFi security etc. Unpairing the device doesn't help with resetting this setting. After unpairing the top-right header (with the Take Screenshot controls etc...) even still shows the details of the unpaired device. Anyone else has experienced this or know a solution.

Debugger on Xcode 16.x is super slow and it turns out it's only this way when Xcode is connected to my iPhone via WiFi. If I disable WiFI on my iPhone everything is just fine. But that's not a solution. An engineer posted this supposed solution, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-15-release-notes. Forgive me but that's not a solution, especially since we used to be able to shut off "Connect via WiFI." I've seen so many posts here and everywhere else with no one stating any clear answer. Does anyone know why has this been removed? And is anyone aware of it? I've posted in the Feedback Asst. as many others have. What gives?

Pardon my ignorance but it's been about 13 years since I have last used the Xcode Editor and I don't know where to start entering code. Could someone take pity on me and inform me where? Thanks!
