Crash Log We have a issue with our watch app. When we do a release build with xcode 16 the watch app will not launch and crashes on watchOS 10 and below devices. It does not do this on debug builds...and it does not do this on xcode 15 release/debug builds. Anybody running into watch crashes on xcode 16? Thanks

Hello, It is mentioned in CryptoTokenKit documentation: You use the CryptoTokenKit framework to easily access cryptographic tokens. Tokens are physical devices built in to the system, located on attached hardware (like a smart card), or accessible through a network connection. However, it looks like there is lack of documentation with simple example, how to access network token. I have a certificates in HSM (hardware secure module), which is accessible on network, and I'd like to access certificates on HSM on my Mac. Does anybody know, where to start with implementation? Thank you.

Hello, I have a test variable here which works fine: var quotes: [(quote: String, order: Int)] = [ ("I live you the more ...", 1), ("There is nothing permanent ...", 2), ("You cannot shake hands ...", 3), ("Lord, make me an instrument...", 4) ] and I have a test function which successfully pulls data from a mysql database via a web service and displays it via the "print" function: func getPrice(){ if let url = URL(string:"https://www.TEST.com/test_connection.php"){ URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in if let data = data{ if let json = try? JSONDecoder().decode([[String:String]].self, from: data){ json.forEach { row in print(row["quote"]!) print(row["order"]!) } } else{ } } else{ print("wrong :-(") } }.resume() } } Please can you tell me how to re-write the quotes variable/array so that it returns the results that are found in the getPrice() function?

Hi Everyone, I was able to create the String Catalog with all my strings getting automatic into the stringCatalog except the strings from my models where is not swiftUI and where all I have a class with a lot of info for my app. Some classes are short and I was able to just make the strings localizable by adding on every line: (String(localized: "Telefone")) But I have one class which has Line: 1071 and Col: 1610 and every line I have 7 strings that needs to get localized. These 7 strings are repeated on every line. So I was trying to create a localization for these 7 strings on this class without having to write (String(localized: "Telefone")) 7 times on every line. is there a way? Here is short version of my class: import Foundation class LensStructFilter: Identifiable { var description: String init(description: String) { self.description = description } } let lensEntriesFilter: [LensStructFilter] = [ LensStructFilter(description: "Focal: 24mm \nAbertura Máxima: F2.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,30m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 52mm \nPeso: 275g \n\nFocal: 35mm \nAbertura Máxima: F2.0 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,25m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 52mm \nPeso: 205g \n\nFocal: 50mm \nAbertura Máxima: F1.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,45m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 52mm \nPeso: 185g \n\nFocal: 85mm \nAbertura Máxima: F1.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,80m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 67mm \nPeso: 350g \n\nFocal: 105mm MACRO \nAbertura Máxima: F2.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME \nBocal: Nikon F \nFoco Mínimo: 0,31m \nDiâmetro Frontal: 62mm \nPeso: 720g"), LensStructFilter(description: "Focal: 16-35mm  \nAbertura Máxima: F2.8 \nCobertura: FULL FRAME  \nBocal: EF \nFoco Mínimo: 0,28m \nDiâmetro Frontal (rosca): 82mm \nPeso: 790Kg"), Thanks

I’m aware that Xcode version 26 beta 3 provides an option to enable Swift’s Approachable Concurrency feature at the project level. However, I’d like to achieve the same for a Swift Package. Could you please advise on how to enable Approachable Concurrency support specifically for a Swift Package?

I want to understand what the recommended way is for string interoperability between swift and c++. Below are the 3 ways to achieve it. Approach 2 is not allowed at work due to restrictions with using std libraries. Approach 1: In C++: char arr[] = "C++ String"; void * cppstring = arr; std::cout<<"before:"<<(char*)cppstring<<std::endl;           // C++ String // calling swift function and passing the void buffer to it, so that swift can update the buffer content Module1::SwiftClass:: ReceiveString (cppstring, length);   std::cout<<"after:"<<(char*)cppstring<<std::endl;             // SwiftStr      In Swift: func ReceiveString (pBuffer : UnsafeMutableRawPointer , pSize : UInt ) -> Void { // to convert cpp-str to swift-str: let swiftStr = String (cString: pBuffer.assumingMemoryBound(to: Int8.self)); print("pBuffer content: \(bufferAsString)"); // to modify cpp-str without converting: let swiftstr:String = "SwiftStr"      _ =  swiftstr.withCString { (cString: UnsafePointer<Int8>) in pBuffer.initializeMemory(as: Int8.self, from: cString, count: swiftstr.count+1) } }  Approach 2:  The ‘String’ type returned from a swift function is received as ‘swift::String’ type in cpp. This is implicitly casted to std::string type. The std::string has the method available to convert it to char *. void TWCppClass::StringConversion () {     // GetSwiftString() is a swift call that returns swift::String which can be received in std::string type     std::string stdstr = Module1::SwiftClass::GetSwiftString ();     char * cstr = stdstr.data ();     const char * conststr= stdstr.c_str (); }    Approach 3: The swift::String type that is obtained from a swift function can be received in char * by directly casting the address of the swift::String. We cannot directly receive a swift::String into a char *. void TWCppClass::StringConversion () {    // GetSwiftString() is a swift call that returns swift::String    swift::String swiftstr = Module1::SwiftClass::GetSwiftString ();    // obtaining the address of swift string and casting it into char *    char * cstr = (char*)&swiftstr; }

Context: SwiftUI TextField with a String for simple math using NSExpression. I first prepare the input string to an extent but a malformed input using valid characters still fails, as expected. Let's say preparedExpression is "5--" let expr = NSExpression(format: preparedExpression) gives FAULT: NSInvalidArgumentException: Unable to parse the format string "5-- == 1"; (user info absent) How can I use NSExpression such that either the preparedExpression is pre-tested before asking for actual execution or the error is handled in a polite way that I can use to alert the user to try again. Is there a Swift alternative to NSExpression that I've missed?

I'm developing an audio unit for use on iOS. The AUv3 worked fine with xcode 15.X and swift 5.X. I recently tried to submit an update to my plug-in but Apple refused submission because my Xcode was not the latest. Now that I'm on Xcode 16.4 I can't get my project to compile, even when following all of the same previous steps. As one example of a change, Xcode doesn't appear to include the “C++ and Objective-C interoperability” build setting that it used to. This setting is noted in the Swift documentation and I used to need it, https://www.swift.org/documentation/cxx-interop/project-build-setup/#mixing-swift-and-c-using-xcode Currently my C++ code can't see anything from Swift, and I get a "Use of undeclared identifier 'project_name'". I've selected Switch support for version 5.0 in an attempt to minimize changes from Apple. My process is I generate an Xcode project file from my audio plugin support, JUCE. Then I add in the swift files, click yes to create bridging headers, but c++ doesn't see swift anymore. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Hello, This test code for creating an array using a loop works: var quotes: [(id: String, name: String)] { var output: [(id: String, name: String)] = [] for i in 1...numberOfRows { let item: (id: String, name: String) = ("\(i)", "Name \(i)") output.append(item) } return output } But if I try to apply this logic to retrieving data from a web service using the below code I am getting 2 errors: For the line “quotes.append(item)” I am getting the error message “Cannot use mutating member on immutable value: ‘quotes’ is a get-only property." For the line “return output” I am getting the error message “Cannot find ‘output’ in scope." if let url = URL(string:"https://www.TEST.com/test_connection.php"){ URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in if let data = data{ if let json = try? JSONDecoder().decode([[String:String]].self, from: data){ json.forEach { row in var item: (id: String, name: String) = ("test id value", "test name value") quotes.append(item) } return output } } } }

I filed the following issue on swiftlang/swift on GitHub (Aug 8th), and a followup the swift.org forums, but not getting any replies. As we near the release of Swift 6.2, I want to know if what I'm seeing below is expected, or if it's another case where the compiler needs a fix. protocol P1: Equatable { } struct S1: P1 { } // Error: Conformance of 'S1' to protocol 'P1' crosses into main actor-isolated code an can cause data races struct S1Workaround: @MainActor P1 { } // OK // Another potential workaround if `Equatable` conformance can be moved to the conforming type. protocol P2 { } struct S2: Equatable, P2 { } // OK There was a prior compiler bug fix which addressed inhereted protocols regarding @MainActor. For Equatable, one still has to use @MainActoreven when the default actor isolation is MainActor. Also affects Hashable and any other protocol inheriting from Equatable.

hi, Is it possible to compare two vectors and get a boolean answer? example : uint642_t a; uint642_t b; .../... if(a == b) .../... how to do it ? thank

I’m working on a project in Xcode 16.2 and encountered an issue where getAPI() with a default implementation in a protocol extension doesn’t show up in autocomplete. Here’s a simplified version of the code: import Foundation public protocol Repository { func getAPI(from url: String?) } extension Repository { public func getAPI(from url: String? = "https://...") { getAPI(from: url) } } final class _Repository: Repository { func getAPI(from url: String?) { // Task... } } let repo: Repository = _Repository() repo.getAPI( // Autocomplete doesn't suggest getAPI() I’ve tried the following without success: • Clean build folder • Restart Xcode • Reindexing Is there something wrong with the code, or is this a known issue with Xcode 16.2? I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions.

Hello, I was expecting the code below to print the test message "line 25" because the class "API" is being called on line 57. But "line 25" is not being displayed in the debug window, please could you tell me why?

I’m working with Swift and encountered an issue when using the contains method on an array. The following code works fine: let result = ["hello", "world"].contains(Optional("hello")) // ✅ Works fine However, when I try to use the same contains method with the array declared in a separate constant(or variable), I get a compile-time error: let stringArray = ["hello", "world"] let result = stringArray.contains(Optional("hello")) // ❌ Compile-time error The compiler produces the following error message: Cannot convert value of type 'Optional<String>' to expected argument type 'String' Both examples seem conceptually similar, but the second one causes a compile-time error, while the first one works fine. This confuses me because I know that Swift automatically promotes a non-optional value to an optional when comparing it with an optional value. This means "hello" should be implicitly converted to Optional("hello") for the comparison. What I understand so far: The contains(_:) method is defined as: func contains(_ element: Element) -> Bool Internally, it calls contains(where:), as seen in the Swift source code: 🔗 Reference contains(where:) takes a closure that applies the == operator for comparison. Since Swift allows comparing String and String? directly (String is implicitly promoted to String? when compared with an optional), I expected contains(where:) to work the same way. My Questions: Why does the first example work, but the second one fails with a compile-time error? What exactly causes this error in the second case, even though both cases involve comparing an optional value with a non-optional value? Does contains(_:) behave differently when used with an explicit array variable rather than a direct array literal? If so, why? I know that there are different ways to resolve this, like using nil coalescing or optional binding, but what I’m really looking for is a detailed explanation of why this issue occurs at the compile-time level. Can anyone explain the underlying reason for this behavior?

I have a simple shell script as follows: #!/bin/bash OUTPUT="network.$(date +'%d-%m-%y').info.txt" SUPPORT_ID="emailaddress" echo "---------------------------------------------------" > $OUTPUT echo "Run date and time: $(date)" >> $OUTPUT echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT ifconfig >> $OUTPUT echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT echo "Network info written to file: $OUTPUT." echo "Please email this file to: $SUPPORT_ID." It just dumps the network config into a file. At some point I will have the file emailed out, but right now I'm just trying to figure out why the output looks like the following? bash ./test.sh .etwork info written to file: network.26-01-25.info.txt .lease email this file to: emailaddress Why in the world does the initial character of the last couple of "echo" commands get clipped and turned into periods? The echos for the output of the commands piped into the output file are fine. Strange... Any ideas?

Greetings, func stepForward(_ input: Int) -> Int { return input + 1 } func stepBackward(_ input: Int) -> Int { return input - 1 } func chooseStepFunction(backward: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { return backward ? stepBackward : stepForward /* Error type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation */ } Why am I getting this error. If I change the function to func chooseStepFunction(backward: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { if backward { return stepBackward else { return stepForward } } Why is the previous chooseStepFunction giving me an error ? Thx in advance

I have a class object created dynamically using Runtime, and I want to release some manually allocated memory resources when this object is deallocated. To achieve this, I added a custom implementation of the dealloc method using the following code: SEL aSel = NSSelectorFromString(@"dealloc"); class_addMethod(kvoClass, aSel, (IMP)custom_dealloc, method_getTypeEncoding(class_getInstanceMethod(kvoClass, aSel))); However, I encountered some issues. If I don't call the superclass's dealloc method in the cus_dealloc function, the superclass's dealloc implementation will not be executed. On the other hand, if I explicitly call the superclass's dealloc method, the program crashes. Here is the implementation of the cus_dealloc function: void custom_dealloc(id self, SEL _cmd) { // Release other memory ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/c7b0c16b-be23-4776-b8db-f22b661c5e7d" "title=iShot_2025-01-03_19.31.34.png;width=1080;height=1895") Class superClass = class_getSuperclass(object_getClass(self)); void (*originIMP)(struct objc_super *, SEL, ...) = (void *)objc_msgSendSuper; struct objc_super *objcSuper = &(struct objc_super){self, superClass}; originIMP(objcSuper, _cmd); } demo

Hello everyone, There is one thing about Objective-C's memory management that confuses me, which is a returned object's lifetime from methods with names doesn't start with "alloc", "new", "copy", or "mutableCopy". Take this as an example, when using NSBitmapImageRep's representationUsingType:properties: method, it returns an NSData object (reference: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsbitmapimagerep/representation(using:properties:)?language=objc). While testing this out, the NSData seemed to be an owned object (it doesn't get released until the end of the program). From what I understand, this may be an auto-released object which is released at the end of an autorelease pool block. Could someone explain this in more detail? What if I want to release that NSData object before the end of the autorelease pool block? How can I know which object is autoreleased, borrowed, or owned?

I have a Swift Package that contains an Objective-C target. The target contains Objective-C literals but unfortunately the compiler says "Initializer element is not a compile-time constant", what am I doing wrong? Based on the error triggering in the upper half, I take it that objc_array_literals is on. My target definition looks like: .target( name: "MyTarget", path: "Sources/MySourcesObjC", publicHeadersPath: "include", cxxSettings: [ .unsafeFlags("-fobjc-constant-literals") ] ), I believe Objective-C literals are enabled since a long time but I still tried passing in the -fobjc-constant-literals flag and no luck. To be clear I'm not interested in a run-time initialization, I really want it to be compile time. Does anyone know what I can do?

Does anyone know if there will be a Swift 6 version of "The Swift Programming Language" book and if so, when it will be released for Apple Books?
