I find Xcode's Debugging Variable View to be to cluttered, even when just watching "local" variables.
Is there anyway to set it so that it only shows the variables I want to watch? Would make debugging so much easier.

I have cloned a private repo from GitHub and for the most part it seems to be working fine. e.g. commit, push and pull are working. However, Fetch Changes doesn't seem to work at all. It pops up a brief message as if it is working, but the status of my local branch under the Source Control Navigator -> Repositories does not get updated. Even after a push, the status still tells me I am ahead on the local branch.
If I add a new file on the GitHub website, Fetch Changes will not see it and the repository status remains unchanged.
All of these changes are immediately visible in 'Fork' (3rd party Git GUI).
If I restart Xcode the status is updated correctly, but it does not keep up with further changes.
Anything I can do other than avoid using Xcode for GitHub tasks?
Update: This might just be a problem with the Source Control Navigator views not updating. I just found that if I change branch, the "Repositories" section will not reflect the branch change until I exit and re-enter that view. e.g. click on "Changes" and back into "Repositores" to see the update. That workaround does not impact the out of date repo status though (how many commits am I ahead or behind).
Seems very buggy...

Hi,
We are developing software that configures a network extension via a system extension on MacOS.
The host application (run as service) enables network extension and system extension capabilities. It registers the network extension.
The network extension has network extension capabilities and configures an app-group to be bundled into the service.
What we have built is already working, i.e. we build, sign, notarize and ship the code (it's already running on hundreds of SIP enabled customer devices in production).
But, we are currently falling back to manual profile management (i.e. download and import the profile) so that Xcode accepts the entitlements suffixed with -systemextention.
Recently we are testing deployment on iOS devices. For iOS profiles we cannot overcome the issues with setting the profile manually, XCode complains about mismatching networkextension entitlements even when manually importing the profile.
So I thought I get to the bottom of why automated signing is not working and hopefully overcome the issues with iOS.
Upon configuring automatic signing we ran into the following problem:
For a network extension that is installed via a system extension the network extension capabilities are expected to be defined with a -systemextension suffix, i.e.:
<key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key>
<array>
<string>packet-tunnel-provider-systemextension</string>
<string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string>
<string>content-filter-provider-systemextension</string>
<string>dns-proxy-systemextension</string>
<string>dns-settings</string>
<string>relay</string>
When using automated signing the profile in our development account reflects these settings, i.e. the profile is correctly generated with the values above.
However, XCode complains that the network extension capabilities don't match.
I went as far as to configuring a new application-ID so that XCode would generate a new profile in the development account. I then downloaded and decoded the generated profile.
The capabilities of the development portal profile were created as expected (as above), but somehow, the locally generated profile that is generated by XCode auto-sign expects:
<key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key>
<array>
<string>app-proxy-provider</string>
<string>content-filter-provider</string>
<string>packet-tunnel-provider</string>
<string>dns-proxy</string>
<string>dns-settings</string>
<string>relay</string>
What XCode auto-sign expects is not reflected in the development account profile (!).
I tried to overcome this by changing the entitlements of the project to omit the -systemextension suffix.
XCode auto-sign seemingly works then, but once the application is actually signed by CodeSign the signing fails because the capabilities don't match with the development account profile.
I tried profile re-generation by clearing Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles, but it always results in the same problem - either XCode is happy and the code signing fails when building, or the other way round.
Bottom Line: I think that somehow XCode evaluates the profile validity differently from CodeSign; somehow when using automatic signing XCode does not take the network extension + system extension into account, but only expects the capabilities of the network extension.
If anybody know how to overcome this problem please help :)

I want to set the minimum deployment to 16.0, however Xcode (16.2) won't let me select that.
In the drop down box it shows 18,17,16,15, however if any of these is selected it sets them as 18.6, 17.6, 16.6 or 15.6 (see image)
If an attempt is made to edit the value manually, to 16.0, then after change it, Xcode just deletes that value and sets it to nothing.
What's going on here? Why is Xcode only allowing the version other than be something.6 and why will it not let you manually edit it?
We have found a runtime crash using TipUIPopoverViewController because Xcode didn't warn about its usage when using a deployment target of iOS 16, without a proper #if available verification.
In Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a), using swift code, TipUIPopoverViewController can be used without if #available(iOS 17, *) without even trigger a warning or compiler error.
This is the snippet we're using in a UIViewController, and it compiles without a warning.
@objc
private func myMethod() {
if presentedViewController is TipUIPopoverViewController {
// do something
}
}
Of course this triggers a runtime error, specifically, a EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
I was expecting that the same way Xcode warns us when we're using Tips and Tips.Status with iOS 16, this would also trigger a compilation error.
Or is it not possible? My idea is a program that can disable low power mode, change my display type to apple XDR, and set my refresh rate to ProMotion (120)
After updating from Xcode 15.4 to Xcode 16.2, I am unable to build my project. I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance on how to resolve this issue.
Thank you in advance for your help and guidance.
Hello, New to swift ui and xcode. I am building a mobil app that will need bluetooth capabilities. When I make my custom info.plist file and set "Generate info.plist file" to No, it states it cannot find my file. Then when I set that to "Yes" it gives me an error stating that there are multiple versions of the file. In my editor I cant seem to set a path to it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
this is the result when the the section is set to No
Cannot code sign because the target does not have an Info.plist file and one is not being generated automatically. Apply an Info.plist file to the target using the INFOPLIST_FILE build setting or generate one automatically by setting the GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE build setting to YES (recommended).
this is when its set to yes:
Multiple commands produce '/Users/thatcherdeyoework/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SwiftUI-weather-etzagqgbgkjotzenbomwvkhjfhzt/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SwiftUI-weather.app/Info.plist'
I am trying to setup an extension using DNSProxyProvider that intercepts the DNS traffic on UDP and inserts our custom device identifier and send it to our custom DNS Server which gives us the response which I forward to the requesting client.
I have been able to append the identifier with the domain name when sending out request to our custom DNS and I am getting the response back just fine but when I try to write the response to the udpflow I get this error in Console Logs.
Error Domain=NEAppProxyFlowErrorDomain Code=9 "The datagram was too large" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The datagram was too large}
Here is what I have tried so far.
Truncating the datagram size to less than 10 bytes.
Sending in dummy Data object while trying to write to the flow.
Double checking the Signing and Capabilities, for Targets, the App and Network Extension.
Attached below is code from my NEDNSProxyProvider. The DNS request is process in the handleNewFlow function which calls processUDPFlow
override func handleNewFlow(_ flow: NEAppProxyFlow) -> Bool {
if flow is NEAppProxyTCPFlow {
NSLog("BDDNSProxyProvider : Is TCP Flow...")
} else if let udpFlow = flow as? NEAppProxyUDPFlow {
NSLog("BDDNSProxyProvider: handleNewFlow : \(udpFlow)")
processUDPFlow(udpFlow) // < --
}
return true
}
In the code below I concatenate domain name in the request with deviceId and send it to our server. Also have the Logs lines in, please ignore them.
// Read incoming DNS packets from the client
self.udpAppProxyFlow = udpFlow
udpFlow.readDatagrams { datagrams, error in
if let error = error {
NSLog("Error reading datagrams: \(error.localizedDescription)")
return
}
guard let datagrams = datagrams else {
NSLog("No datagrams received.")
return
}
// Forward each DNS packet to the custom DNS server
for (index, packet) in datagrams.enumerated() {
let dnsMessage = self.parseDNSMessage(from: packet.0)
NSLog("tDatagram Header: \(dnsMessage.header)")
for question in dnsMessage.questions {
NSLog("tDatagram Question: \(question.name), Type: \(question.type), Class: \(question.klass)")
}
for answer in dnsMessage.answers {
NSLog("tDatagram Answer: \(answer.name), Type: \(answer.type), Data: \(answer.data)")
}
let oldDomain = self.extractDomainName(from: packet.0)!
let packetWithNewDomain = self.replaceDomainName(in: packet.0, with: "827-\(oldDomain)") // func to append device ID
NSLog("Packet's new domain \(self.extractDomainName(from: packetWithNewDomain ?? packet.0) ?? "Found nil")")
self.sendToCustomDNSServer(packetWithNewDomain!) { responseDatagram in
guard let responseDatagram = responseDatagram else {
NSLog("Failed to get a response from the custom DNS server")
return
}
let tDatagram = (responseDatagram, packet.1)
udpFlow.writeDatagrams([tDatagram]) { error in
if let error = error {
NSLog("Failed to write DNS response back to client: \(error)")
} else {
NSLog("Successfully wrote DNS response back to client.")
}
}
}
}
// Continue Reading Datagrams - DO NOT REMOVE!
self.processUDPFlow(udpFlow)
}
}
Following is the function I use to replace domainName
// Ensure the datagram is at least the size of the DNS header
guard datagram.count > 12 else {
NSLog("Error : Invalid datagram: Too small to contain a DNS header")
return nil
}
NSLog("BDLine 193")
// Start reading after the header (12 bytes)
var offset = 12
// Parse the original domain name
while offset < datagram.count {
let length = Int(datagram[offset]) // Get the length of the next label
offset += 1
// Check for the null terminator (end of domain name)
if length == 0 {
// Domain name ends here
break
}
// Validate that the length is within bounds
guard offset + length <= datagram.count else {
NSLog("Error : Invalid datagram: Domain name length exceeds packet size")
return nil
}
// Skip over this label
offset += length
}
Everything is falling into place other than this last Error I get when I try to write back to flow. What am I missing here and how can I resolve this issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I am having issues with exported playgrounds from Xcode, when I try to open my exported swift fill I get the following message: "Couldn't load settings from contents.xcplayground"
Xcode Version: Version 16.2 (16C5032a)
Steps to reproduce
Create new playground in Xcode.
File->Export
Open exported file.
The issue still press persist after reinstalling Xcode.
在更新Xcode以及系统版本后,就出现了Module 'Foundation' is needed but has not been provided, and implicit use of module files is disabled的报错,但该问题在Xcode 15,以及上一个系统版本中,并不存在,且可以正常的编译、运行以及打包

Usually there is a checkbox for whether Xcode project is initiating git when creating new project. However this option is disappear on Xcode 16 (16.2 to be exact).
I've tried (see attached files):
Check on my Setting > Accounts > Source Control. My github account is there and the SSH key is intact.
Restarting Mac, then re-open Xcode
But still, no hope.
Ofcourse I still have option to init the git manually on the project via Finder, but that's not my point.

Can someone from Apple officially confirm either a delay or cancellation of this feature? 9 days before 2024 ends and Apple said “later this year” in June 2024. Apple mentioned Swift Assist even in the MacBook Pro announcement on the 30th of October 2024 as if it already exists.
Hello,
I would like to inquire about the release date of Swift Assist’s beta version. Apple has stated that it will be released later this year, but they have not provided a specific date or time.
Could you please provide information on the beta version’s release date? Additionally, is there a trial version available? If so, when was it released?
Thank you for your assistance.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue with my MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, macOS 15.2) when using Xcode (version 16.2). If Xcode is open and my Mac goes into sleep mode, the screen size changes upon waking. Specifically, I notice 3mm bezels appear on each side of the screen, making the display slightly smaller, and everything scales down to fit this reduced size.
This issue happens multiple times a day and has been ongoing for over a year. It’s quite disruptive to my workflow.
Here is a video to illustrate the problem:
Has anyone encountered this before? If so, do you have any suggestions for fixing it or steps I can take to debug the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help and support!

The problem is:
As per screenshot below, one can only see the lineChart. I have another struct AffiliateView coded under this Chart:
import SnapKit
import Charts
import DGCharts
class AffiliateViewController: UIViewController {
private lazy var chartView: LineChartView = {
let chart = LineChartView()
chart.noDataText = "No data available."
chart.chartDescription.enabled = false
chart.xAxis.labelPosition = .bottom
chart.rightAxis.enabled = false
chart.legend.enabled = true
chart.backgroundColor = .lightGray // For debugging visibility
return chart
}()
private lazy var containerView: UIView = {
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .white
return view
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .white
// Add container view and chart view to the main view
view.addSubview(containerView)
view.addSubview(chartView)
// Add SwiftUI View inside the container view
let affiliateView = AffiliateView()
let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: affiliateView)
addChild(hostingController)
containerView.addSubview(hostingController.view)
hostingController.view.frame = containerView.bounds
hostingController.didMove(toParent: self)
layout()
setupChartData()
}
private func layout() {
// Layout the container view (SwiftUI content)
containerView.snp.makeConstraints { make in
make.top.equalTo(view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.snp.top)
make.left.right.equalToSuperview()
make.height.equalTo(350) // Increase the height for the SwiftUI content
}
// Layout the chart view below the container view
chartView.snp.makeConstraints { make in
make.top.equalTo(containerView.snp.bottom).offset(20) // Space between chart and the affiliate content
make.left.equalToSuperview().offset(20)
make.right.equalToSuperview().offset(-20)
make.height.equalTo(200) // Set a fixed height for the chart
}
}
private func setupChartData() {
let dataEntries = [
ChartDataEntry(x: 1, y: 10),
ChartDataEntry(x: 2, y: 20),
ChartDataEntry(x: 3, y: 15),
ChartDataEntry(x: 4, y: 30),
ChartDataEntry(x: 5, y: 25)
]
let dataSet = LineChartDataSet(entries: dataEntries, label: "Clicks per Day")
dataSet.colors = [.blue]
dataSet.valueColors = [.black]
dataSet.circleColors = [.red]
dataSet.circleRadius = 4.0
let data = LineChartData(dataSet: dataSet)
chartView.data = data
chartView.notifyDataSetChanged()
}
}
// SwiftUI View remains in the same file
struct AffiliateView: View {
@State private var customMessage: String = ""
@State private var uniqueLink: String = "Your unique link will appear here."
@State private var clickData: [Double] = [10, 20, 15, 30, 25] // Example data
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack(spacing: 20) {
// TextField for custom message input
TextField("Enter your custom message...", text: $customMessage)
.textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
.padding(.horizontal)
// Generate Link Button
Button(action: generateLink) {
Text("Generate Sign-Up Link")
.font(.headline)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: 50)
.background(Color.red)
.cornerRadius(10)
}
.padding(.horizontal)
// Generated Link Label
Text(uniqueLink)
.font(.body)
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
.padding(.horizontal)
// You can add a chart here if you want to show it in SwiftUI too
/* LineChartView(data: clickData, title: "Clicks per Day", legend: "Daily Clicks") */
}
.navigationTitle("Affiliate Marketing")
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
}
}
private func generateLink() {
let encodedMessage = customMessage.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed) ?? ""
uniqueLink = "https://affiliate.example.com/referral?message=\(encodedMessage)"
addClickData()
}
private func addClickData() {
clickData.append(Double.random(in: 0...100))
}
}
As you see, the AffiliateView has been declared outside of Controller View class. The View content was visible before the lineChart was added into this code. Now the View content is not visible anymore. I have tried to increment/decrement values at make.height.equalTo() but to no avail.
Could anyone kindly point me in the right direction?
I've just downloaded "Additional Tools for Xcode 13" after today's release, and installed "Network Link Conditioner.prefPane" on my macOS Big Sur 11.6 (20G165).
But it just don't work. Every time I try to open it an error appeared.
Dose the tool only support macOS Monterey which Xcode 13.0 (13A233) dose not support?
BTW, the workaround for me is using the tool in "Additional Tools for Xcode 12.5"...
We have developed a custom iOS framework called PaySDK. Earlier we distributed the framework as PaySDK.xcframework.zip through GitHub (Private repo) with two dependent xcframeworks.
Now, one of the clients asking to distribute the framework through Swift Package Manager.
I have created a new Private repo in the GitHub, created the new release (iOSSDK_SPM_Test) tag 1.0.0. Uploaded the below frameworks as Assets and updated the downloadable path in the Package.Swift and pushed to the GitHub Main branch.
PaySDK.xcframework.zip
PaySDKDependentOne.xcframework.zip
PaySDKDependentTwo.xcframework.zip
When I try to integrate (testing) the (https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM_Test) in Xcode, am not able to download the frameworks, the downloadable path is pointing to some old path (may be cache - https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM/releases/download/1.2.0/PaySDK.xcframework.zip).
Package.Swift:
// swift-tools-version:5.3
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "iOSSDK_SPM_Test",
platforms: [
.iOS(.v13)
],
products: [
// Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, making them visible to other packages.
.library(

// Targets are the basic building blocks of a package, defining a module or a test suite.
// Targets can depend on other targets in this package and products from dependencies.

Steps I followed:
I have tried below steps,
Removed the local repo and cloned new
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm/
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
Can anyone help to identify the issue and resolve? Thanks in advance.
