Fetch Changes not working Xcode 16.2
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 That workaround does not impact the out of date repo status though (how many commits am I ahead or behind).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...

Unable to use XCode Auto-sign for a project with network + system extension
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 :)

Why does Xcode's Minimum Deployments only let you select N.6?
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?

TipUIPopoverViewController can be referenced below iOS 17 without a compiler error and it shouldn't
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.

Xcode unable to find custom info.plist file
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'

Getting a datagram too large error while writing back to NEAppProxyUDPFlow
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

No git init option when creating new project in Xcode 16
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.

Xcode messes up the MacBook Screen Size
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!

Affiliate View Struct is probably hidden by Charts on iOS app
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?

"Network Link Conditioner" in "Additional Tools for Xcode 13" can not be loaded on Big Sur 11.6 (20G165)
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"...

Swift Package Manager - Package Download Issue
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( name: "iOSSDK_SPM_Test", targets: ["PaySDK", "PaySDKDependentOne", "PaySDKDependentTwo"] ) ], targets: [ // 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. .binaryTarget( name: "PaySDK", url: "https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM_Test/releases/download/1.0.0/PaySDK.xcframework.zip", checksum: " checksum " ), .binaryTarget( name: "PaySDKDependentOne", url: "https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM_Test/releases/download/1.0.0/PaySDKDependentOne.xcframework.zip", checksum: " checksum " ), .binaryTarget( name: "PaySDKDependentTwo", url: "https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM_Test/releases/download/1.0.0/PaySDKDependentTwo.xcframework.zip", checksum: " checksum " ), .testTarget( name: "iOSSDK_SPM_TestTests", dependencies: ["PaySDK", "PaySDKDependentOne", "PaySDKDependentTwo"] ) ] ) 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.
