To reproduce this bug create a new Xcode Project for IOS choose UIKit. In the app delegate add the following lines. As you can see in the above image . Line 19 with the initialization of PHPickerViewController has no compilation failure. Now lets add import WidgetKit As soon as widgetKit is imported a compiler error is thrown which is PHPickerViewController is not in scope. This worked with Xcode 16.4 It was possible to have a swift file with both WidgetKit implementations and PhotosUI implementations. This behavior has changed in Xcode 26/26.0.1 . Does anybody know why this happens , could not find any clues within the different versions of documentations. P.S Found a work around which raises further questions Adding import SwiftUI fixes this problem , I am genuinely curious on how this is happening on a compiler level.

Currently, the icon composer app can only export the icon with a rounded app background image. It would be better to support exporting the icon with a transparent background. It can make the exported app icon image with the liquid glass effect for websites, social networks, or other marketing places. Thank you!

Hi everyone, Since updating to Xcode 26, I’ve been running into an issue with the new ChatGPT integration inside Xcode. Even though I have an active ChatGPT Plus subscription (GPT-4 or GPT-5) and I’m signed in to my OpenAI account, Xcode doesn’t seem to recognize my paid plan. After reaching the free usage limit, I get the following message: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account or upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.” The issue is that I am already logged in with my ChatGPT Plus account, and everything works fine on the ChatGPT web app — but inside Xcode, it keeps treating me as a free user. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • Signing out and back into ChatGPT from within Xcode • Restarting Xcode and macOS • Verifying that I’m logged in to ChatGPT in Safari • Updating both macOS and Xcode to the latest versions None of these steps have resolved the issue. It seems like Xcode isn’t syncing properly with OpenAI authentication, and therefore it applies the free-tier limits even for paid accounts. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there any way to force Xcode to reauthenticate with OpenAI or link it properly to a ChatGPT Plus account? System setup: • Mac mini (Apple M2, 16 GB RAM) • macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 • Xcode Version 26.0.1 (17A400) Here’s the error message I’m seeing:

Can we use Icon Composer to drive an app icon for iOS 26 apps today? I get errors uploading a build to TestFlight internal testing about missing App icon dimensions for an iOS 26 app.

Hello, I’m new to macOS after many years on iPhone, and I’m trying to run a simple app on my iPhone directly from Xcode. The app builds fine in the simulator, but deploying to a real device fails with this error: The tunnel connection failed while the system tried to connect to the device. Domain: com.apple.dt.CoreDeviceError Code: 4 Failure Reason: The tunnel connection failed while the system tried to connect to the device. User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-10-02 16:55:53 +0000"; "com.apple.dt.DVTCoreDevice.operationName" = connect; } -- The tunnel connection failed while the system tried to connect to the device. Domain: com.apple.dt.RemotePairingError Code: 4 -- I get the same error via command line, e.g. for xcrun devicectl device info apps --device "..." My setup: macOS Version 26.0.1 (Build 25A362) Xcode 26.0.1 (Build 17A400) iPhone 13 on iOS 26.0.1 iPhone is paired with the Mac (I can see it in Finder and in Xcode alongside the simulator). Developer Mode is enabled on the iPhone. I also see my Apple Watch listed in Xcode. I might have enabled Multipath networking in the past - but in iOS 26.0.1, the setting is missing in the Developer settings - so there is no way to check if it's enabled or to disable it. I know this was the solution to a similar problem: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/737907 What I tried: Restarted both Mac and iPhone, unpaired them, paired them again. Disabled and re-nabled development mode Tried both Wi-Fi and wired connection (Apple-certified cable). Reset privacy and network settings on the iPhone. Verified I’m not running any VPN. Despite this, deployment always fails with the same tunnel connection error. Has anyone encountered this before or found a solution/workaround? Thank you very much, Martin

In Xcode I've: select Product / Scheme / Edit scheme tap on Archive on the left hand side of the select post actions and + to add a new script Then in there I have added a script I want to run on the archive after its created. I'd like to be able to see the output the script churns out as it goes along but doesn't seem possible? If I just add something like echo "hello" to the start of the script then I don't see "hello" visible anywhere when I build an archive (via Product/Archive). I'm looking in the build navigator. Is there somewhere else to look or is it possible to get the logging into the navigator?

I have 2 app store connect apps: "" ".beta" This is necessary for our usecase as we are building an iOS blockchain wallet, for a chain that updates itself every ~3 months adding new features/changing. We need the communities input, and can't have them uninstalling/re-installing the production app constantly, having to re-import private keys, etc. So we use 1 app store connect app for production releases, and another for public facing long running beta, where we experiment with new features before pulling them into production. Allowing users to have both installed at the same time Last week my CI (without any changes to scripts, project, profiles, etc), started failing for the production build with the error: [altool.105176BE0] Validation failed (409) This bundle is invalid. The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the current value, '<bundle-id>.beta'. If you want to change your bundle identifier, you will need to create a new application in App Store Connect. (ID: ae60bab4-0c01-4b2e-9ea9-91a73adccc14) Nowhere in any of the .app, .ipa, info.plist, provisioning profiles, etc, is it referencing ".beta", everything is referencing "" I tried building it manually locally, same error. I took the local output that failed with xcrun altool, and instead dropped it into Transporter, and it uploaded successfully to the production app Is it possible that xcrun altool is using an app store connect API that changed sometime in the last few weeks? Maybe the search/sort ordering logic has changed?

I'm attempting to compile my app (on macOS 26), opting into the "Enhanced Security" (Xcode Version 26.0.1 (17A400)). Following Apple's documentation I enabled the capability via Xcode and clicked "Enable Build Settings" though now compilation fails: Use of undeclared identifier 'malloc_type_zone_malloc_with_options_backdeploy'; did you mean 'malloc_type_zone_malloc_with_options'? The (AI-based?) "Generate Fix for Issue" throws an error too 😅 See attached screenshots

Hello everyone, I'm encountering a persistent issue with my newly created widget project, even though it’s a clean, minimal setup. Every time I try to run the widget on the simulator or a device, I get the following error message: [S:1] Error received: Connection invalidated. I get this error even in a new project (I just created a new one) when I add a widget extension to it. The app itself works fine—no errors—but when I try to install the widget extension, it always shows me this error. Initially, I thought the issue was caused by an incorrect URLSession, but even after creating a clean (default) widget extension, the issue persists. I don’t know what to think anymore. Has anyone encountered this before? It’s completely blocking my progress. Conditions - new project from iOS App template WidgetExtension from template with no changes Iphone 14 pro IOS - 18.3.2

When I try to build my project with Xcode 26.1 beta (17B5025f) it freezes a lot. The steps are as follows: Open my project with the aforementioned Xcode Start a build of one of my schemes Open a browser or any other app above the Xcode window Try to present the Xcode window on the foreground Result: Xcode freezes I cleared the Derived Data and it still happens

Has anyone been able to use Google Gemini with Intelligence in Xcode? I got the Claude models working in there but as much as I try I can't see any Gemini models.

I have designed a new icon for my app/Tahoe in Icon Composer (launched from within Xcode)but I simply cannot get it to show up. The documentation for Icon Composer spends a lot of time describing how to design the icons but goes distressingly vague/silent on how one might use it. It suggests that I should drag the file to Xcode and it will guide me as to where to put it. The app continues to use the old (pre-Tahoe) icon. I don't get any change of behaviour and I don't know what to name the file. I assume that there are no other settings that I have to change. I can't find anything on the web or in Apple's documentation: maybe I'm missing something obvious! My app is a working NSDocument-based Cocoa project. Any suggestions please.

Got emailed three .txt crash files. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Xcode to do something with them. Tried: renaming .txt to .crash Dropping onto "devices and simulators" window Dropping on to "devices and simulators > select device > View device logs" "Download debug symbols" for the archive in Xcode (says "dowloaded debug symbols" so did it) ... and many other things Xcode 13 simply refuses to respond to the drag-and-drop of the file no matter the file extension and no matter where in Xcode's various windows/tools I drop it. Has anyone done this with a crash .txt file from app review and Xcode 13?

Cannot select individual view in selectable mode in Xcode preview, it only show the whole blue device border.

I have an app on the App Store for many years enabling users to post text into clouds in augmented reality. Yet last week abruptly upon installing the app on the iPhone the screen started going totally dark and a list of little comprehensible logs came up of the kind: ARSCNCompositor <0x300ad0e00>: ARSCNCompositor (0, 0) initialization failed. Matting is not set up properly. many times, then RWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to update pose [PredictorFailure] for timestamp 870.392108 ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to predict pose [1] for timestamp 870.392108 again several times and then: ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: SLAM error callback: Error Domain=Slam Error Code=7 "Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data" UserInfo={NSDescription=Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data, NSLocalizedFailureReason=SlamEngineNodeGroup Failure: IMU issue: gyro data stream verification failed [Significant data drop].

I hoped the new beta version would have solved the issue, but it was not the case. Unfortunately I do not know if that depends on the beta version or some other issue, given the app may be not installed on the Mac simulator.
