In Xcode's StoreKit transaction manager (Debug > StoreKit > Manage Transactions), how can I delete old apps that I do not need anymore from the list of apps?

We are experiencing networking issues in our iOS application when it is built with Xcode 16 or later. Our app includes a video conferencing feature that works reliably when built with Xcode 15 or earlier — we can sustain hour-long video sessions without interruption. However, when the app is built using Xcode 16 or higher, network connections drop after 2–3 minutes during a session. This triggers an auto-reconnect, which succeeds, but the connection drops again after another 2–3 minutes. This loop continues indefinitely. Key Details: The issue only occurs in TestFlight builds. When running the app via Xcode debugger, the issue does not occur. The issue is consistently reproducible in TestFlight builds created with Xcode 16 or later. TestFlight builds created with Xcode 15 do not exhibit this issue. All the videoconferencing runs on C and C++ code What We’ve Tried: Reviewed Xcode 16+ release notes but found no relevant changes or deprecations. Verified app configuration and entitlements. Confirmed that no app-side changes occurred between the working and broken builds. Request: We’re seeking guidance on what changes in Xcode 16+ could be affecting networking behavior in release/TestFlight builds. Any insight into relevant build settings, compiler changes, or runtime behavior differences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

It's maddening. I just opened a file and now it's gone because I had the audacity to open another file. I've learned that I can double click the tab of the first file to make it a permanent tab... but, of course, I'll need to do that every time I ever open any file ever, and if I close that file and come back to it later I'm going to be constantly having to double click tabs just to make Xcode stop replacing my tabs for me. It's nuts. It's driving me insane. Please. Is there any way to just DISABLE the temporary tabs behavior? I don't find it helpful in any way and I find it to be destructive to my development workflows.

I did a git rebase and was successful. I'm getting an error 'Failed to load container for document at url: file:///Users/collinsmuthomi/Documents/postbankiOSNewNew/Postbank.xcodeproj'

I encountered this issue with an app I'm writing that accepts arguments. With some troubleshooting I've determined that this is an inherent behaviour in how Xcode 16 compiles SwiftUI apps and how macOS 15 launches them. The issue: Launching the app as open /Applications/AppName.app --args --arg1 --arg2 --arg3 etc should allow the app to process the arguments as CommandLine.arguments and this is still the case. How the app sees arguments is unchanged and doesn't matter if you use CommandLine.arguments or swift argument parser or don't have arguments at all. This will affect any SwiftUI app as I'll demonstrate below. The problem is that if you use a mix of arguments as --arg value pairs or --arg as a flag, then depending on the order the arguments are provides, the app won't launch properly. The icon will appear in the dock but no window appears until you click the icon in the dock. (BTW, having "Application is agent (UIElement)" set to YES in the Info.plist makes this task rather difficult.) In testing if you use all flags, it's fine. if the flags are in pairs, it's fine. if you have one flag and then a --arg value pair, you will see the issue. If you reverse the order so the flag is after then it works fine. How to replicate: On macOS 15 and Xcode 16 Open Xcode Create a new macOS App (called demoapp in my example) Select SwiftUI as the interface Build That it. Don't add anything and just build the boilerplate hello world app that Xcode makes for you. Once that's built, cd to your /Build/Products/Debug/ directory in terminal and try the following (this happens if you build for release as well): note, the app window will display when you click the icon in the dock, just not on initial launch # three single arguments open ./demoapp.app --args --foo --bar --baz # App window displays as expected # one single argument, one arg value pair open ./demoapp.app --args --foo --bar baz # The app window will not appear. # same arguments as before but the single argument is after the arg value pair open ./demoapp.app --args --bar baz --foo # App window displays as expected # arg[1] without `-` or `--` prefix open ./demoapp.app --args foo --bar --baz # The app window will not appear. # arg[1] and arg [2] without prefix open ./demoapp.app --args foo bar --baz # The app window will not appear. # single - in front of the first two arguments open ./demoapp.app --args -foo -bar baz # The app window will not appear. # single - in front of the first three arguments open ./demoapp.app --args -foo -bar -baz bob # App window displays as expected No idea what is going on but I suspect macOS does some pre-processing before launching the app, for example you can do stuff like open /Applications/SomeApp.app --args -AppleLanguages '(de)' to run using a specific language. I presume the OS is pre-processing arguments before launching the app proper. If I compile the app using Xcode 15.4 then this issue is not present. Also Apps compiled with Xcode 16 do not exhibit the issue on macOS 14 or earlier. It's a specific Xcode 16, macOS 15 thing in the way the app is compiled that makes it behave this way. I hope I've explained it correctly, but it's very easy to replicate. I filed a feedback for it (under a different apple account), FB15577018. Any insight into what's going on here would be helpful. Also if there's any compiler flags I could be setting. In my actual project, I'm not making any other changes. The same code compiled under Xcode 16 (.0 or .1RC) behaves differently to Xcode 15.4.

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.

Hi, I'm unable to install provisioning profile on my iPad and I know the xcode component iOS/iPadOs version and iPadOS version should be same or below the latest compared to xcode components. Now the issue is xcode component version is iOS 18.4 (22E235) SDK + iOS 18.4 (22E238) Simulator (Installed) and iPadOS version is iOS 18.4.1(22E252) could this be cause of issue ? If yes then when will apple release components for 18.4.1? Because iOS 18.4.1 release at least 3-4 weeks before this post.

After upgrading to iOS 18.4, I noticed that launching a debug build from Xcode becomes extremely slow. The same app with the same large debug binary (~1GB) launches normally on devices running iOS 18.3. This issue seems specific to iOS 18.4, possibly related to the way the OS handles large debug binaries or symbols during the launch process. Steps to Reproduce: Connect an iPhone running iOS 18.4 to a Mac with Xcode. Build and run an app using Xcode in Debug mode. Observe the extended launch time. Re-run the same process on another iPhone with iOS 18.3 — launch is fast. Expected Result: Debug launch should be fast and consistent across iOS versions. Actual Result: Debug launch is significantly slower on iOS 18.4 for large binaries (~1GB). Environment: Xcode version: 16.0 macOS version: 15.4 Device: iPhone [model] iOS version: 18.4 (problematic), 18.3 (no issue)

I am using my real device and the Xcode Preview which works pretty fine. I do not want to show an empty canvas pane all the time. But when hiding the canvas, the preview pauses. I tried the refresh shortkey (OPT + CMD + P), too, while canvas is invisible. Why must the canvas be visible even there is no content besides "Previewing on iPhone from..." Info? I hope there is a workaround to hide the canvas while pushing to real devices.

I have an Watch APP and it's iOS APP .. I want to test it via the Simulator. (with my real Watch I have a lot of Xcode error and an open ticket with Apple) Xcode 16.2 associates an Iphone16 to the Series 10 Watch simulated. BUT the Watch is not associeted to the iPhone. WCSession.isSupported is true, but session.isPaired is false on the iPhone. On the Watch : session.isReachable returns false. But in its settings the Simulator shows the Watch. And It is the same problem with another model of Watch in the Simulator.

So I use two MacBooks for work and different levels of projects, updated MacBook 1, and I was about to download and install Predictive Code Completion Model and IOS 18.4 Runtime. But doing the same for my second MacBook isn't working... I've been searching for days now, and the deadline for submission is fast approaching. I need help on this. At first, I thought it was a network thing and had to rush to my friends, but the same issue and nothing better IOS 18.4 Error `Download failed.

I have the this issue when I run the app on iOS Simulator after updating to app to make it compatible with Xcode-16 and iOS-18. after upgradation to Xcode-16 its giving the above error "Executable path is a directory" .This app work fine on Xcode-15 . Note - The issue with iOS Simulator only. From XCode-16 build is created successfully and installed in iOS device.

Hi, I followed Xcode’s recommendation and migrated to the new strings format (*.strings → *.xcstrings) using the Migrate to String Catalog option. My project has two build targets: MyAppName MyAppNameVFSCopy Every time I build one or the other target, the value in the .xcstrings file changes under CFBundleName > en > stringUnit > value, switching between MyAppName and MyAppNameVFSCopy. As a result, Git detects a change in source control each time, which is quite annoying. How can I prevent this from happening? After building MyAppNameVFSCopy target, the "value" is MyAppNameVFSCopy "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppNameVFScopy" } } } } After building MyAppName target, the "value" changes to MyAppName "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppName" } } } } Deleting CFBundleName from *.xcstrings file didn't help. CFBundleName is automatically created again after building target. Both targets has it's on plist file. In those files: <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string> Attaching full xcstrings file InfoPlist.xcstrings

When I try to look at any variable in the debugger, I get a bunch of errors complaining about inability to find a file in a location that should not exist on my machine... I just upgraded form xCode 15.2, which worked fine, but now I basically cannot debug. Who is this liangchenying?

Unable to Submit iOS App for App Review Due to Incorrect Beta Xcode Error I'm encountering an issue when trying to submit a new build of my iOS app to the App Store. The app launches from TestFlight without any problems, but when attempting to submit it for App Review, I get the following error: "This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can’t be submitted." However, I'm not using a beta version of Xcode. I've tested this with both the public releases of Xcode 16.3 and 16.2. The build logs show no issues with the SDK or Platform versions, but in App Store Connect, the metadata is displaying the following: Build SDK: $(SDK_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) Build Platform: $(PLATFORM_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

We have a Privileged Helper tool that we install with SMJobBless. I would like to debug it. I've added WaitForDebugger in our helper tool launchd plist and it does wait. But I can't attach to it via Debug->Attach to Process in Xcode with error: Code: 3 Failure Reason: tried to attach to process as user 'myusername' and process is running as user 'root' I set Debug process as: root in scheme settings. But I'm not sure if it does anything since I'm not running this particular scheme at the moment of attach. I tried unsuccessfully to set "Wait for the executable to be launched" but I had to create a new scheme for it since helper is built as part of the main app so maybe I did something wrong. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to attach to root process?

Hi Experts, Could you please help. Issue at high level: After Editing a View contains a Table entries, saved and hit back button to display View, Table entries are duplicated or displaying previous and current entries together. Here is my Issue in detailed. List view display, clicking on any row, would navigate to DisplayView of a record. I am displaying a table in DisplayView. DisplayView contains "row" as parameter, and it must be initialized in "init" method, where I use row.key and fetch another table (say ColorTab) using Color.Key. DisplayView contains "NavigationView", with Edit button. it displays fetched Colors. example Red and Green. when user click on Edit, it takes to EditPage. user can remove / add colors. Once user made changes, saved and hit back button. Table entries are duplicated or showing previous and current entries. Options tried, a) init method is only triggering 1st time, not triggering when back button clicked, I failed to use FetchRequest outside of init method, I tried on OnAppear too. i didn't trigger. b) Failed to use FetchRequest inside of var Body too. c) tried using viewContext.refreshAllObjects() .. it is not refreshing the table. Could you please help if there is solution for the issue. Thanks, Bhanu

If an Xcode project has some compiler flags set in Build Phases / Compile Sources, then is it possible to have those enabled if scheme A is selected and disabled if scheme B is selected. Same question for things in Build Settings, such as Other Compiler Flags. I suppose it could be achieved by having two targets, one with things enabled and one without, but for a very large complex project, duplicating targets is not necessarily an easy thing to do.
