Xcode 16 issues with mac virtualisation
I have created a virtualised Mac machine where I am running the latest Xcode version 16.4 with macOS Sequoia as the base image. While running XCTest tests, I am observing a clear difference in behaviour between virtualised and non-virtualised setups. Below is the command I am using to run the tests: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -xctestrun /Users/ltuser/290103613/xcui.xctestrun -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,id=79A5F8CC-4A2E-4C91-895D-AE97E25CB824,arch=arm64,OS=18.0" test-without-building "-only-testing:ClassName/MethodName/testName" -derivedDataPath /Users/ltuser/290103613/Archive -verbose IDELogLevel=debug IDETestLogLevel=debug ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=YES Observed Issue On virtualised hosts: Every XCTest is executed twice This happens for both passed and failed tests The behaviour is consistent across all virtualised machines On non-virtualised (bare-metal) Macs: Tests execute only once, as expected Debugging Steps Taken Multiple destination suspicion Initially, I noticed the following warning: --- xcodebuild: WARNING: Using the first of multiple matching destinations: { platform:iOS Simulator, id:0FFB9082-94AB-4D0A-A731-CC4452BDD4E7, OS:17.0, name:iPhone 15 } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:0FFB9082-94AB-4D0A-A731-CC4452BDD4E7, OS:17.0, name:iPhone 15 } This raised suspicion that tests might be running twice due to multiple matching destinations. Destination narrowed down I then explicitly restricted the destination to a single simulator UDID, after which: The warning disappeared However, the issue still persists Tests continue to run twice on virtualised hosts Version Comparison Xcode 16.4 + macOS Sequoia (virtualised) → Tests run twice Xcode 15.x (same setup otherwise) → Tests run once Questions Has anyone else faced this issue with Xcode 16.x on virtualised macOS? Is this a known issue with Xcode 16 + Virtualisation? Is there any recommended workaround or configuration change to avoid duplicate test execution? I am currently blocked on this issue and would appreciate confirmation on whether this is an Xcode or virtualisation-related problem. Thank you.

Code Coverage Not Accurate in Xcode 26
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.

macOS 26.0 Tahoe + Xcode 26.0.1 Simulator causes system-wide audio distortion
After upgrading to macOS 26.0 Tahoe and Xcode 26.0.1, I’ve noticed an issue with audio playback whenever the iOS Simulator is running. Device: MacBook Pro 13" (2020, Intel, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) Issue: Any sound played on the Mac (system sounds, music, videos) begins to break/distort once the Simulator is active. App Sounds: If the app running inside the Simulator plays audio, that audio also breaks/distorts. Previous Version: This issue did not occur on macOS Sequoia 15 or with Xcode 16. Everything was working fine before the upgrade.

Does Xcode 26 Still Support Pull Requests?
Does Xcode 26 still support creating pull requests and/or viewing comments from GitHub pull requests associated with the current branch? This used to be possible, but I cannot get it to work with the current version of Xcode (26.0.1). The "Create Pull Request" menu item takes me to github.com directly, instead of presenting a nice UI menu; hence I'm wondering.

Unable to launch + Attach to Mac Widget (Sonoma + Xcode 15)
Attempting to launch a widget in Debug mode on Sonoma from Xcode 15 is failing with the following message: attach failed (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.) Looking in console I see this message: macOSTaskPolicy: (com.apple.debugserver) may not get the task control port of (MacGalleryWidget) (pid: 1851): (MacGalleryWidget) is hardened, (MacGalleryWidget) doesn't have get-task-allow, (com.apple.debugserver) is a declared debugger(com.apple.debugserver) is not a declared read-only debugger What Xcode settings should I be looking at to rectify this? I suspect I may have something that's out of whack.

WidgetKit keep crashing and widgets not displaying
So I have a MacOS application that was working just fine before Xcode 16. The Widgets are not working anymore. The main application and the widgets share a file in a common App Group. The widget app now get a permission error when accessing the file. Also, the Widget Kit simulator keeps crashing. I also try to start a new project in Xcode, add a target with a Widget extension with an App Intent and run it, and it also crashes. Sometimes, it doesn't crash but just display the error: "Failed to load widget. The operation couldn't be completed. (WidgetKit_Simulator.WidgetDocument.Error error 2.). Edited to attach WidgetKit error log widgetKitError.txt

Forbidden request when using API in Codemagic( Unable to find a team with the given Content Provider ID )
Failed to fetch certificates: This request is forbidden for security reasons - Unable to find a team with the given Content Provider ID '72df6041-c291-4d95-b690-2a3b75ff72f6' to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support. https://developer.apple.com/support I have already confirmed that: All API keys were generated correctly. All required roles and permissions have been assigned in App Store Connect. To confirm my doubt, I requested api key from a fellow developer, and that worked in CodeMagic without throwing an error. Could you please help me figure out why the given Content Provider ID is not being recognized? Thank you.

No new Xcode beta Since 16.2 Release on Dec 11
Not a question, but a surprise. Did I miss something, but apparently there has been no new beta release (16.3) since Release of 16.2 on Dec 11. 2 months without betas is really unusual (in fact, it never happened and usually, next beta n+1 is even released before the final release of version n). So does that mean 16.3 will be a major update ? Wait and see.

Unable to debug Memory Graph in Xcode: "an unknown error occurred launching the helper task"
I am not able to use the Debug Memory Graph tool as well as Leaks instrument inside Xcode to debug my project. I'm running my project on physical iOS device on running 18.3 version and I tested the project on two different MacBooks running Xcode 16.3 and 16.1. On both the same problem persists. I have also reinstalled the project on the device and tried restarting all devices and cleared DerivedData. Nothing helped.

Xcode Cloud: All Targets Suddenly Timeout During Archive
Hi everyone, Starting today, my Xcode Cloud CI workflow can no longer successfully build iOS/macOS/visionOS targets. The Archive step does not report any errors, but the xcodebuild command hangs indefinitely and eventually fails with the following message: 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. My iOS and macOS targets can still be built, but the build time has increased by 2-3x compared to before. That's interesting. After I removed the visionOS target, the iOS target also failed to build. Additionally, since today, I’ve noticed a significant increase in network-related errors in Xcode Cloud. There have been multiple failures to download dependencies from Homebrew or GitHub. I have confirmed that CI versions which previously built successfully are now failing, while running the same build commands locally works fine. Based on these observations, I suspect there may be an issue with the Xcode Cloud environment itself. Has anyone else encountered similar problems? Any suggestions or updates would be appreciated! Thanks!

SwiftData error: NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release
I am using SwiftData for my model. Until Xcode 15 beta 4 I did not have issues. Since beta 5 I am receiving the following red warning multiple times: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release This seems to be a CoreData warning. However, I am not using CoreData directly. I have no way to change the config of CoreData as used by SwiftData. My model just uses UUID, Int, String, Double, some of them as optionals or Arrays. I only use one attribute (.unique).

Xcode Cloud fails while exporting archive
Hi, Since Xcode 26.2 beta 1, till now (I thought RC or actual release will solve this issue) I have problems exporting archive to appstore via Xcode Cloud (locally everything works and using Xcode 26.2 I was able to submit app to AppStore). Build is archived successfully but during export I get an error Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information.

Nonprofit Enrollment 28 Days in "Processing" After Continuing - UH4UT85YS3
I'm looking for advice or anyone who's experienced similar delays with nonprofit developer account enrollments. Timeline: In mid-September, we had some initial email validation issues during our nonprofit organization enrollment. Senior Advisor Kevin (case 102691832489) resolved those issues and cleared us to continue enrollment on September 16-17. We continued immediately on September 17th, and our status changed to "Your enrollment is being processed" with enrollment ID UH4UT85YS3. It's now been 28 days with no status changes, no requests for additional information, and no timeline. Follow-up attempts: I've called support three times (Sept 19, 26, and Oct 7). Each time I was told the application is "with a separate department they can't contact." They created additional cases but couldn't provide any updates or access to the reviewing team. Questions for the community: Is 28 days normal for nonprofit enrollment processing after continuing? Has anyone found a way to get status updates when regular support can't access the reviewing team? Is there a specific escalation path for nonprofit accounts that differs from standard enrollments? We're a 501(c)(3) church launching an app for a capital campaign, so the delay is starting to impact our timeline. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Details: Enrollment ID: UH4UT85YS3 Organization Type: Nonprofit 501(c)(3) Continued enrollment: Sept 17, 2025 Current status: "Your enrollment is being processed" Thanks in advance for any guidance.
