Each time I try to launch Xcode 26, it immediately crashes in SourceEditorDataSource.ideChat_gracefullyApplyChangesToReflect. I'm now no longer able to use Xcode. A partial crash log attached. So far I've tried deleting derived data, rebooting, deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode. What should I do? Thank you in advance for any help. crash-report.txt

Ever since Xcode 15 and iOS 17 came out development has quite often been a nightmare of waiting and waiting -Xcode displaying endless circles saying preparing the device, connecting to the device, installing the device. But recently to add to this, installation and launching is just taking really forever. I'm currently running Xcode 15.1 and various versions of iOS 17 (I have several phones) and installing the app from Xcode takes about 7 - 10 minutes (compared to the same app installing in seconds with Xcode 14 for example). Then once its finally installed, it then takes further minutes to launch, Xcode often actually displays a dialog saying its taking longer than expected to launch the app, adding the footnote "LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols." What could be reasons, and solutions, for the excruciatingly slow installation time, and launch time? I really need to find a solution to this please - making a code change tweak, running, making another, running, making another, running, just isn't possible given the length of time it takes to install and launch each time.

I'm trying to download an iOS Simulator runtime in Xcode 26.2 or 26.1 on macOS 26.1, but the download keeps failing with the following error: Download failed. Domain: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41 Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime), serverParameters ({ RequestedBuild = 23C54;}) Domain: DVTDownloadsUtilitiesErrorDomain. Code: -1. Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 User Info: {checkConfiguration = 1;} macOS & Xcode Info: macOS Version: 26.1 (Build 25B78) Xcode Version: 26.2 (24553) (Build 17C52) What I've tried so far: Formatted my Mac and reinstalled Xcode multiple times. Completely deleted Xcode and its related files several times (/Applications/Xcode.app, caches, preferences). Tried different internet connections from multiple locations. Checked Apple servers and verified network. Attempted downloading other simulator runtimes (fail). but download fails immediately with DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code 41 and bad URL error. Question: How can I fix the simulator download issue in Xcode 26.2 on macOS 26.1? Is there a known workaround for the bad URL / catalog download error?

I made a new app icon with Icon Composer, and added it to my Xcode project. In the built app, I see AppIcon.icon next to the old AppIcon.icns. But Tahoe is not showing the new icon. Is this because Tahoe has cached the old icon somewhere, and if so, is there some way to make it refresh?

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 add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Path/.xccurrentversion no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") ❯ git checkout "Path/.xccurrentversion" Updated 1 path from the index ❯ git status nothing to commit, working tree clean ❯ xcodebuild \ -scheme Scheme \ -configuration Configuration \ -sdk iphonesimulator \ -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16 Pro,OS=latest' \ -skipPackagePluginValidation \ -skipMacroValidation \ test > /dev/null # test fails because model version is reverted ❯ git status HEAD detached at pull/249/merge Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Path/.xccurrentversion no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") I have experienced such issue in 16.3 (16E140) and 16.2 (16C5032a). Similar issues/solutions I have found online are the following. But they are either not relevant or do not work in my case. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17631587/xcode-modifies-current-coredata-model-version-at-every-launch https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/issues/81 Is anyone aware of any solution? Is there a recommended way I can run diagnostics on XCode and file a feedback?

Hi, I am running build on ios 26.2 device, connected with cable (not wifi) and it crashes because files are not loaded or something. But when i turn off Debug Exetuble, it works just fine. Also, tried to run on ios 18.2 device, with Debug executable On - everything is ok, and breakpoints work. My guess, App crashes on reading and loading Assets and others app files like certificates. XCode run logs shows: **"Too many file errors". ** sample.txt xcode_run_logs.txt Also, exectued image list on lldb console, could not attach here, if needed i can add it with some url here.

Where is the +, which used to be in the top right of the Xcode menu for modifiers, views etc?

Hi, I have started facing an issue with Xcode since updating to macOS 26.1. The debugger is not stopping at breakpoints in Objective-C code, however breakpoints in Swift file are working fine. I am using Xcode 16.4. For breakpoints in Objective-C files I have started to get this message since the OS update - 'Xcode won't pause at this breakpoint because it has not been resolved.' I have already tried cleaning derived data and build folder. I do not want to upgrade to Xcode 26. Could someone help with the fix? Thanks

My app is built in flutter and has a native Widget in it. The widget's Info.plist file has the NSExtensionPrincipalClass key that links to the VerseOfTheDayWidgetBundle as string. However the Transport app throws an error: Validation failed (409) Unexpected Info.plist key. Unexpected key NSExtensionPrincipalClass found in extension Info.plist for Payload/Runner.app/PlugIns/VerseOfTheDayWidgetExtension.appex. (ID: 266e2dd8-44b9-4d67-97d9-d7d47013cff9) Now I tried removing the NSExtensionPrincipalClass and but the simulator throws an error asking for the NSExtensionPrincipalClass or Storyboard class but my widget is completely written in SwiftUI and does not have a storyboard which is why I am using the NSExtensionPrincipalClass. I tried to bypass this by creating two info.plist files for my widget (debug and release) this bypassed the security check on Transporter but then the app wouldn't install in TestFlight confirming the same issue as the simulator. I can confirm that my app's info.plist does not have any mention of NSExtensionPrincipalClass. so that isn't what is causing this error. I tried a lot of things but it just wouldn't work, at this point I feel maybe its something wrong with the checks Transporter app. I'm not sure, please guide me. The widget and the app work completely fine on the simulator with the NSExtensionPrincipalClass, its just the Transporter that does not like it being there.

When trying to launch an app built with Xcode in iOS12, differences occur depending on the macOS version on which Xcode is installed. When building with Xcode 26.2 (or Xcode 16.4) installed on macOS Sequoia, installing it on iOS 12 and tapping the app icon launches the app. When building with Xcode 26.2 (or Xcode 16.4) installed on macOS Tahoe, installing it on iOS 12 and tapping the app icon does not launch the app. The following log was displayed upon launch: Dec 15 11:46:35 xxx assertiond[58] <Notice>: Submitting new job for "com.xxx.sample" on behalf of <BKProcess: 0x10151a710; SpringBoard; com.apple.springboard; pid: 48; agency: SystemShell; visibility: foreground; task: running> Dec 15 11:46:35 xxx assertiond[58] <Notice>: Submitted job with label: UIKitApplication:com.xxx.sample[0x2dfd][58] Dec 15 11:46:35 xxx assertiond[58] <Notice>: Unable to get pid for 'UIKitApplication:com.xxx.sample[0x2dfd][58]': No such process (3) The same issue occurs with both .app and .ipa. I would like to know the technical reason behind this, if anyone knows, please let me know.

Intelligence AI powered feature fails on complex project with network error when “Reasoning” is set higher then “Low”. The visual feedback shows sending some context and answer being generated, but eventually stops with network error. Retries with “Reasoning” set higher than “Low”. won’t help, but retries or same queries with “Low” or "Minimal" reasoning always succeed. It is obvious that connectivity is not lost but looks like some kind of timeout expires and cancels the response, even not the request. Visual feedback shows the context being successfully uploaded and even shows the indicator of the answer being generated.

Lots of pepole is wait for Xcode to be in for 15 years. And peole and kids especially me are crying about it swift is the worst its good but you can’t change the screens iPhone Xcode is better so how do I get Xcode for iPadOS?

When I create a new tvOS game and run the default project the simulator window appears but nothing is shown. When I create a MultiPlatform Game project and run the demo project for AppleTV the simulator work correctly. I do not get any errors just a blank screen. Also clicking on the Home icon in the simulator or the actual AppleTV does nothing. Drew

I updated Xcode and MacOS recently and haven't been able to compile my Flutter app on iOS devices/simulators since then. The error keeps changing every time I run it but here's one of the output in the terminal after running flutter run: Uncategorized (Xcode): Command SwiftGeneratePch emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure Error (Xcode): no such file or directory: '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/Session.modulevalidation' Error (Xcode): stat cache file '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SDKStatCaches.noindex/iphonesimulator18.0-22A3362- db63dc9361471f152f572502bdbfe70a.sdkstatcache' not found Error (Xcode): unable to rename temporary '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/3F9VRK3CXAUUD/UIKit-1KHQ7M05IF VXC-56601391.pcm.tmp' to output file '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/3F9VRK3CXAUUD/UIKit-1KHQ7M05IF VXC.pcm': 'No such file or directory' Error (Xcode): could not build module 'UIKit' /Users/chiragbhansali/Chirag/Coding/Projects/app/test/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/Flutter.framewo rk/Headers/FlutterAppDelegate.h:7:8 Error (Xcode): could not build module 'Flutter' /Users/chiragbhansali/Chirag/Coding/Projects/app/test/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.h:9:8 Error (Xcode): failed to emit precompiled header '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-eifcguceazlwumgsyzegclqdrbqt/Build/Intermed iates.noindex/PrecompiledHeaders/Runner-Bridging-Header-swift_PB6A5GFLTNPC-clang_3F9VRK3CXAUUD.pch' for bridging header '/Users/chiragbhansali/Chirag/Coding/Projects/app/test/ios/Runner/Runner-Bridging-Header.h' Uncategorized (Xcode): Command PrecompileSwiftBridgingHeader emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure Uncategorized (Xcode): Command SwiftEmitModule failed with a nonzero exit code Uncategorized (Xcode): Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code Could not build the application for the simulator.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m still a beginner. I created an Xcode Playground app with Microphone and Speech Recognition capabilities enabled, along with a backup Info.plist. However, when running the app on Mac Catalyst, a real device, or the iOS and iPadOS simulators, it crashes right after the Speech Recognition permission popup and again after the Microphone permission popup. For extra context, the app initially worked fine in the Swift Playgrounds app, but that environment uses an outdated SDK, so it no longer supports some of the features I’ve implemented. I’m also struggling to find clear, beginner-friendly documentation that explains how AVAudioEngine works, which is making it hard to understand what’s going wrong and how to debug it.

In the XCode 16 beta, it isn't possible to create a new StoreKit configuration file because the templates list doesn't contain that option. Adding the storekit extension to a file crashes XCode or doesn't have an effect at all. But, loading an existing file still works.

I'm working on a FileProvider which allows access to encrypted files in Dropbox; I can successfully read and present the decrypted files, so I know it's basically working. But I'm having problems getting FileProvider to re-enumerate a folder when its encryption status changes. When the FileProvider receives an update notification saying a folder is now encrypted, I use signalEnumerator to re-enumerate the folder: FileProviderExtension.manager?.signalEnumerator(for: existingItem.itemIdentifier, completionHandler: { (ourError : Error?) -> Void in       if let ourError = ourError {           log("notifyCallback: mount / unmount failed re-enumeration: \(ourError)")       } else {           log("notifyCallback: mount / unmount signalled re-enumeration; pending")       } }) The log reports that the re-enumeration is pending... but as far as I can tell, neither enumerateItems nor enumerateChanges is called on the folder's item unless a Finder window is actually open for that folder. This means that, when an app other than Finder tries to access the files through the filesystem, it doesn't see the updated set of filenames. (For further reference: I've added code to both enumerateItems and enumerateChanges, so that if the call has been triggered by a recent folder-encryption notification, it retrieves a complete set of items from the Dropbox folder. If a retrieved file has an encrypted filename, it reports it as a modified item and returns its filename in-clear; if the filename isn't encrypted, it doesn't return the item (for enumerateItems) or returns it as a deleted item (for enumerateChanges). This approach seems to work successfully for listing folders with a constant state; it's only if the user encrypts / decrypts a folder without currently having a Finder window open inside that folder that I'm not seeing a refresh.) Any advice on how I can force a re-enumeration without a Finder window currently being displayed?

I am encountering a cloud signing permission error when archiving and uploading an iOS app using Xcode with Automatically manage signing enabled. Xcode reports that it cannot access or create cloud-managed distribution certificates, and therefore cannot find any App Store provisioning profiles for either the main app target or an associated Notification Service Extension. The error message returned by Apple’s certificate API indicates that access to cloud-managed distribution certificates is forbidden. Error messages Cloud signing permission error You haven't been given access to cloud-managed distribution certificates. Please contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin to give you access. No profiles were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Store provisioning profiles matching the app or extension targets. Environment Xcode: 16.x Signing method: Automatic signing (App Store distribution) Apple Developer Program team with existing distribution certificates Apple ID role: Admin (recently upgraded from a lower role) What I have verified Automatic signing is enabled for all targets The correct team is selected Bundle identifiers are valid and already registered The app and extension exist in App Store Connect Distribution certificates already exist in the team (previously created manually) Observed behavior Xcode attempts to access cloud-managed distribution certificates Apple certificate service responds with a permission-denied error As a result, provisioning profiles cannot be generated automatically Question After being upgraded to an Admin role, is there a known delay or additional requirement before an account can access cloud-managed distribution certificates, especially for teams that previously used manually managed distribution certificates? Is there any recommended action (besides waiting or having the Account Holder perform an initial signing operation) to unblock automatic signing in this situation?

I’m seeing what looks like a change or possible bug in Xcode when creating a new Swift Playground. When I create a Swift Playground using Xcode (File → New → Playground), the project is generated without an Assets folder. I’ve reproduced this multiple times with fresh Playgrounds to rule out user error and the folder is consistently missing. Previously, new Playgrounds included an Assets catalog by default, which makes this behavior surprising.
