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?

In the Swift UI tutorial on the official website of apple developers, https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui/creating-and-combining-views, Step 2 in Section 2, through Command-Control-click, the full menu in Figure 1 cannot appear, but the style of Figure 2 appears, and the "Show SwiftUI Inspector" option is missing, see Figure 2. Similarly, in Step 6 of Section 2, "Control-clicking on the Text declaration in the code editor", the options in the red box in Figure 3 cannot appear, and It is the style of Figure 4, and all the options in the red box of Figure 3 are missing. There is no one in Show Coding Tooks. I am using Macbook air 2020 M1, macOS is the latest Tahoe 26.1, and the xcode version is 26.1. The project files used in the learning tutorial are downloaded directly from the above link. Thank you very much for your help to a beginner, which is very urgent for me. I look forward to your reply and sincerely thank you again.

My iPhone no longer works for on-device debugging. This same phone, same Mac, and same cable worked before. Now Xcode always shows the device as Unavailable. System: • macOS 15.6.1 • Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) • iPhone on iOS 26.0.1 with Developer Mode enabled • Direct USB-C connection, trust prompt appears normally Symptoms: The device appears in Xcode and in devicectl, but always in the “unavailable” state. JSON output shows pairingState: unsupported and ddiServicesAvailable: false, meaning USB sees the phone but debugging services won’t start. Already tried: • Reinstalled Xcode • Reset trust on both Mac and iPhone • Toggled Developer Mode • Reset Location & Privacy • Cleared pairing records in /var/db/lockdown • Restarted usbmuxd • Deleted ~/Library/Developer and /Library/Developer • New cable, direct port, phone unlocked • Full Mac reboot None of these changed anything — the device stays unavailable. Question: Has anyone seen iOS 26.x devices stuck as “Unavailable” in Xcode 26.1.x? Is there a known CoreDevice/devicectl issue on macOS 15.6.1? Any fix that does not involve wiping the phone? Thanks!

I just updated to Xcode 26 and some of my Swift Packages have been getting strange build errors that I have not been able to resolve. When I try to build my Swift Package in Xcode I get the following error Module dependency cycle: 'UIKit.swiftmodule -> .swiftmodule -> SafariServices.swiftmodule -> UIKit.swiftmodule' It seems like it is related to the change in Xcode 26 that states "Swift explicit modules will be the default mode for building all Swift targets". I see that you can disable this with the build setting SWIFT_ENABLE_EXPLICIT_MODULES=NO, but I don't see a way to do this in Package.swift, as you can't include value assignments like this .define("SWIFT_ENABLE_EXPLICIT_MODULES=NO"). Our private SPM repos use CI/CD and so we need to be able to build them independently of any use in a project. I would appreciate any help on fixing our Swift Package builds in Xcode 26, thanks!

After upgrading to Xcode 16.4, the navigation arrow icon in the Report Navigator is no longer appearing for failed test cases within XCResult bundles. This icon, which allows developers to directly navigate to the specific line of code that caused a test failure, is now missing. This significantly hinders the debugging process for test automation engineers. Details: Xcode Version: 16.4 (issue started after upgrade) Test Framework: XCTest Test Environment: iOS simulators Execution Method: The tests are executed on a Jenkins CI/CD server XCResult Analysis: The generated .xcresult bundle is downloaded from the Jenkins server and opened locally on a Mac also running Xcode 16.4. Observed Behavior: The navigation arrow icon is missing, and there is no direct way to jump to the failure line from the report. This issue appears to be a regression introduced in Xcode 16.4, as the navigation arrow was consistently present in previous versions. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

We are getting following error in xcode cloud "The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes" We are using following env to create a build. Xcode: 14.2 Macos: Ventura 13.2.1 We didn't face any issue in Ventura 13.2.0 and we are seeing this issue in our first build using ventura 13.2.1. The difference I see between successful and failure build, I don't see "Discovering Swift tasks after 'Compiling { list of swift file " in a failed build. I see compiling { list of swift file } and end of the compilation, the build is failing.

Hello Team, I try to delete photo from Photos for that i used this method, [[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{ [PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets:@[assetToDelete]]; completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) { }]; This method pops up a dialog with Don't Allow or Delete. But some time in some iPhones not respond PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets method that's why that completionHandler not called because of that i can't perform any operation of PHPhotoLibrary then after. If I restart my iPhone then it works. Many users of my app complained about this issue. I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 15.3. But some iOS 12,14,16 users also face the same issue. So what exact issue is there? Is it related to iOS or a method? Thanks, Ankur

I'm attempting to install a previously downloaded .xcappdata to my running application on the iPadOS Simulator (running iPadOS 26.1), but the app data won't transfer to the simulator. I've created the Xcode basic iPadOS app template, without any code modifications - adding some items to the list and downloading the .xcappdata from an attached iPad (running iPadOS 26.1). I can remove the app from the iPad and re-attach the .xcappdata to the physical iPad - no issues there. The issues I'm having is when trying to attach the app data on a simulator. Steps I've tried: Manually drag and dropping the .xcappdata file to the simulator. I get a popup saying "Simulator device failed to install application data container." Attaching the .xcappdata through Xcode in the "Edit Schemes"->Options->App Data App starts fresh without any errors or items from the .xcappdata file Installing the .xcappdata file through the command line through xcrun simctl install_app_data <SIM_DEVICE_ID> <MY_XCAPPDATA> This gives an error: Simulator device failed to install application data container. Could not get the existing data container location for the app. Container manager error code: 55 Underlying error (domain=com.apple.containermanager, code=55): Failed to install the requested app data package Could not get the existing data container location for the app. Container manager error code: 55 I can however reach the "data container location" through the xcrun simctl get_app_container command, leading me to think there are some issues with underlying permissions?

Hello everyone, I'm encountering a persistent issue with my newly created widget project, even though it’s a clean, minimal setup. Every time I try to run the widget on the simulator or a device, I get the following error message: [S:1] Error received: Connection invalidated. I get this error even in a new project (I just created a new one) when I add a widget extension to it. The app itself works fine—no errors—but when I try to install the widget extension, it always shows me this error. Initially, I thought the issue was caused by an incorrect URLSession, but even after creating a clean (default) widget extension, the issue persists. I don’t know what to think anymore. Has anyone encountered this before? It’s completely blocking my progress. Conditions - new project from iOS App template WidgetExtension from template with no changes Iphone 14 pro IOS - 18.3.2

ChatGPT in Xcode 26.1 is super slow for me. What used to complete in a batter f seconds is now taking tens of minutes. Context: M2 Pro MBP, Xcode 26.1, macOS 26.1. CPU stays under 50% while ChatGPT returns. Using the minimal setting. Tried restarting, have verified I have nothing running Electron, no other apps are running. ChatGPT returns fast for the displayed content but the preview window where it renders code per line takes a few seconds per line.

Since iOS 26.1 the AlarmKit alerts don't work anymore on simulator when the screen is locked. This is also still broken on the current Xcode 26.2 beta. They do trigger on the home screen and in-app though. Also on device everything works fine. Is there any secret trick to make it work again?

I have a test target in my app MacPacker (download via github.com/sarensw/MacPacker as this is open source). I want to remove the test target in Xcode. However, Xcode crashes when I try to delete it. I have submitted an issue in the Feedback app (FB20976404). I'm posting here to see if anyone else has the same issue and has a workaround. Or, maybe there is an alternative way to get rid of a target? Steps to reproduce: Open project file Select test target in TARGETS on the left side of the project file editor Click the “-“ button to remove that target Found in: Xcode 26.1 (and also before in Xcode 26.0)

Hello, I am facing a recurring issue with Xcode iOS simulator (preview). 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: Uninstall Xcode and reinstall it again Deleting all developer data Deleting Xcode cache Reinstalling iOS Simulator runtimes and reconfiguration of simulators. Tested using different simulator and runtime versions. "xcrun simctl --set previews delete al" I reported the issue: FB20485454 FB20987522 Thank you. Best regards, Jens

My main app target builds fine and can run on Simulator without issue. Whenever I try to run a Preview, I get this error: == DATE: Monday, November 3, 2025 at 2:52:23 PM Pacific Standard Time 2025-11-03T22:52:23Z == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: SimulatorShutdownUnexpectedlyError: Simulator was shutdown during an update Simulator [F85A5AF1-F52C-4662-AFCD-762F87AF537D] failed to boot and may have crashed. This seems like it started happening after updating to MacOS 26. I've tried reinstalling all Simulators, tried on Xcode 26, deleted derived data, restarted Xcode and my Mac several times. What other troubleshooting steps can I take?

Description: I’m noticing that the code coverage metrics in Xcode 26 are not accurate compared to earlier versions. In Xcode 15, the same set of unit tests shows around 38% coverage, but in Xcode 26, even though all the tests are running successfully (for example, the SegmentedUI test cases), the code coverage is displayed as 0%. Has anyone else observed this behavior in Xcode 26? Is there any known issue, workaround, or configuration change required to get the correct coverage report? Environment: Xcode 26 iOS 18 SDK Unit tests running under XCTest Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

We have the following step before running any tests on CI machine: xcrun simctl shutdown all && xcrun simctl erase all It was working perfectly before Xcode 26.1. On Beta 3 it was doing it for 15 min every time. When updated to RC1, the tests with cached build are fast (clean goes up to 10 sec), but the package tests clean is still going up to 15 min every time. We did xcrun simctl runtime dyld_shared_cache update --all as advised but it's helping only temporarily. Is this going to be fixed in the official release?

This is probably a silly question, but I couldn't find the answer to it in the forums or in the documentation, though I may be missing something. I currently have an app with a deployment target of iOS 16 and a watchOS app (not independent) with a deployment target of watchOS 7. I understand what happens when I change the deployment target on the iOS app (e.g., users with iOS/iPadOS versions less than 16 will just never see the updates in the App Store). But what happens if I change the deployment target of the watchOS dependent app to something like watchOS 8? Will users who have iOS 16 and watchOS 7 (iOS meets deployment target/watchOS does not) get the app update, and it'll just uninstall the watchOS app automatically? Will they just not see the update? Does the old version of the Watch app somehow stay on their watch while the iOS app gets updated?

Right now, I am trying the tutorial for SwiftUI from the Apple Developer Program inside of Xcode, but I encountered a problem. Inside of the selectable canvas mode in Xcode, I wanted to command-control-click the element (in this case, a text) to bring up the editing popover and select "Show SwiftUI Inspector." For some reason, on the popover menu, the only option was "Embed." I only wanted the menu point Show SwiftUI Inspector, and I also tried the shortcut Ctrl+Option, but nothing worked. Now is there another method to get to this menu? Or can you help me with that? Noah

I’ve developed an Apple Watch extension for an existing iOS app. When I run the app on the watch via Xcode using the simulator, everything works fine. However, when I try to install it on my iPhone, the Watch app doesn’t show it in the "Available Apps" list, so I can't install it on the watch. The Apple Watch is connected to my iPhone, and I can see other apps available for installation without any issues. I also created a brand new project with watchOS support to troubleshoot, but the same problem occurred. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I have created a valid bundle identifier, registered device with correct UUID, created an profile, and still am not able to get things to connect to XCode. I have tried manually downloading certificates to refresh. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and Apple Support only refers me to the same instructions I used to complete this process. Can anyone help? Errors: Communication with Apple failed Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile.
