App Intent snippet view does't able to fetch color for xcassets.
We have an existing app in which we have implemented AppShortcuts. The snippet view works fine in iOS 17 while in iOS18 beta, it doesn't able to fetch color from xcassets. If we use system colours or UIColor it's working fine. Not working Color("progressColor") Working Color(uiColor: UIColor(named: "progressColor")!) Color.red Color(hex: "3881d3") // Note: We created Color extension to generate color from hex string.

Xcconfig variables doesn't get loaded automatically in project settings
Hi, I am using xcode build that receive it's configuration using xcconfig files, those add some new definitions to the project, like the location of openssl library. If xcode environment variable include prefix that matches one of the fields in the project settings, it is automatically referred to as if you added it to that field. for example : the var HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS_openssl_libopenssl has value (openssl headers' path) that should be automatically added to the field Headers Search Paths under project settings. For some reason it stopped working for me and i'm not sure why (i've tried to release the xcconfig files). any idea why ? Thanks !

Apple Watch cannot reconnect
None of my existing apps (both in-AppStore and in-development) nor even a brand new WatchOS app can be installed to my Apple Watch. While using Xcode to build and deploy to my Watch, I get this: ”Waiting to reconnect to Apple Watch Xcode will continue when the operation completes.” However, this dialog persists and never completes. I’m running all of the latest: MacOS 14 beta 4, Xcode 15 beta 5, Watch OS 10 beta 4, iOS 17 beta 4. I’ve tried resetting my Watch (with “Erase All” option) and restarting the Mac, the phone and the watch. Any help?

How can I use a CreateML model in Swift Playgrounds
I am trying to implement a ML model with Core ML in a playground for a Student Challenge project, but I can not get it to work. I have already tried everything I found online but nothing seems to work (the tutorials where posted long time ago). Anyone knows how to do this with Xcode 15 and the most recent updates?

How to Add .mlmodel File to Xcode App Playgrounds (.swiftpm) Project?
I’m working on an Xcode App Playground project (.swiftpm) and trying to add a .mlmodel file (e.g., Exercises.mlmodel) to it. However, when I add the .mlmodel file to my project, I encounter the following error: Exercises.mlmodel: No predominant language detected. Set COREML_CODEGEN_LANGUAGE to preferred language. The .mlmodel file works perfectly fine when used in a regular Xcode project (.xcodeproj), but this issue occurs as soon as I add the file in an App Playground project (.swiftpm). Steps I’ve Tried: Ensuring the .mlmodel file is correctly added to the project folder. Checking the generated Core ML Swift code in a .xcodeproj environment—works as expected. Searching for a way to explicitly set COREML_CODEGEN_LANGUAGE in a .swiftpm project, but it seems that Xcode does not provide this option. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated! I have tried the solutions in these articles, however none of them worked: https://medium.com/@sofiadinizms/how-to-use-coreml-in-swift-playgrounds-8d5f001c5d15 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/743942?answerId=776359022#776359022

Create C++ static library with Swift interoperability for iOS. How?
Hello all! My application written with C++ for iOS. Want to make some functionality in static library for the purpose of reuse it in different C++ projects. Want to make universal library for using StoreKit2. Global idea is to wrap StoreKit2 Swift out with CPP interoperability. Now trying to make clear for my self how to create C++ static library with Swift interoperability for iOS in XCode. There are only Objective-C option when you creating static library in XCode for iOS. Is it correct: Create Static Library with Objective-C in XCode Remove all default Objective-C files Add C++ files Add C++/Swift interoperability in build settings Add swift classes Beside all of it some questions: When C++ static library contain Swift code with interoperability will it require some special settings for project (Swift standard lib or some other settings)? Or it could be used like any other C++ libraries? What is the optimal build settings in this case to reduce dependencies when using it different projects? Is there any examples of the same approach for iOS development?

Easy way to see application logs after UITests
Hello all ! I am starting to explore UI testing with XCode and was wondering if there's a simple way to access application logs directly in XCode after the session ends. We currently have access to many things (captures, video, xctest logs) in report UI (see capture) but I am surprised we don't also have the app logs. I know there's a way of accessing it via terminal in .xcresult via a custom script (https://github.com/ChrisMash/XCResultExtractor) but I find it a little tedious and unfriendly as it gives raw .txt I also noticed I can switch processes in XCode console to see app logs but it switches back to xctest logs once the test ends ^^' Is there some "see app logs" button I missed in XCode UI or is XCResultExtractor our only option ? Thank you in advance !

App Playground new Target
Hi everyone, I’m working on my submission for the Swift Student Challenge and need some advice. I already have an existing app that’s live on the App Store, and I’d like to use the same app for my submission. However, while creating the App Playground, I noticed that I’m unable to create additional targets. This is problematic because my app relies heavily on specific targets like ShieldAction, ShieldConfiguration, and DeviceActivityMonitor. Without these targets, the app’s core functionality won’t work as intended. Is there a known limitation or workaround for this? How can I submit my app’s functionality within the constraints of the App Playground? Thanks in advance for your help!

Can't complete the Apple Developer Program Enrollment
We've been having some troubles to create a new account for apple developer for the company i'm currently working for. The first feedback we got was that I could create my personal account and then transfer the Duns Number for the company account when the problem would be solved. We have the Duns Number, but I can't create the Apple Developer Program because of the following warning: Tell us about your organization. Legal Entity Name The information you entered did not match your D&B profile. Before submitting your information, check your D&B profile. If you've recently changed your legal entity name, update your D&B profile. We are from Brazil and the support for the apple developer is only USA or Canada. Could you help us? We have a lot of questions. We need to create the account so that we could publish our APP But so far we couldn't create the account

Xcode 16 build fail issue - method does not override method from its superclass
When overriding the following seek functions in a custom subclass of AVPlayerItem, a "method does not override method from its superclass" error occurs, causing the build to fail. This issue only happens after updating to Xcode 16. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avplayeritem/seek(to:completionhandler:)-91gnw https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avplayeritem/seek(to:tolerancebefore:toleranceafter:completionhandler:) (This error disappears 3 seconds after the build fails or temporarily disappears when the function's position in the file is changed.)

Development Team not showing in Xcode under Team in Signing
I was invited to a new development team yesterday, and I can not choose that team under the Team drop down of Signing & Capabilities in Xcode. Also, when I first login to Apple Developer, this team is not in the main drop down (the teams dropdown). But if I go into "Apps", then I can see the team in the teams dropdown in the top right of the screen and switch to it. Anyone know what's going on?

Playground created on iPad not opening on Mac
I've entered some code on Version 4.5.1 of Playgrounds on my iPad mini running iOS 18.1.1. The file is saved on iCloud and so is available on my Mac running OS 15.2. However, the file will not open in either Playgrounds v 4.5.1 on the Mac (error "Unable to get file wrapper for contents.xcplayground.") or Xcode 16.1 (error "Couldn't load settings from contents.xcplayground"). The file's type is .playgorund. Any thoughts?
