I imported few files in my Xcode project from other projects using drag and drop. Even though the files are copied in the new project and there are no softlinks pointing to the location of other project, the issue is whenever I do a git commit and push, Xcode keeps showing all the projects to commit to rather than just the current project. There seem to be no setting to permanently remove git dependency of other projects. Is there anyway to remove references to other projects?

I'm experiencing an issue with a custom font not loading properly in Xcode 16.3. The font files are included in the bundle, listed in Info.plist, and verified for correct names using UIFont.familyNames, but they still don't appear at runtime. Has anyone else run into this with Xcode 16.3? Could this be related to recent changes in asset packaging or font catalogs?

Hello Everyone, Planning to add one Devoloper to my team for Xcode app development. whats best to configure Xcloud ,Git and push updates to the main branches . and i prefer not to use third party software or additional tools . Thanks a lot and much appreciated

Hi everyone, I’m facing a major roadblock with my family location tracking app, and I need some advice or guidance from the community. Background Back in 2021, I implemented NSE filtering entitlement to send location-based notifications and retrieve the device's location in return (as suggested by Apple’s technical code support). Over time, I built my app around this entitlement, adding many features that depend on it. When Location Push Service Extension was introduced for iOS 15+, I adapted accordingly: NSE filtering was used for devices below iOS 15 Location Push Service Extension was used for iOS 15+ NSE filtering also played a crucial role in: ✅ Accepting/rejecting location-based notifications ✅ Checking device settings & location permissions (since location push won’t work without proper permissions) The Issue In November 2024, I created a new developer account to change my business entity. Since then, I’ve been requesting the NSE entitlement repeatedly for four months, but Apple keeps rejecting it. Meanwhile, they approved the Location Push Entitlement, but without NSE filtering, I’m forced to rewrite a huge part of my app’s core functionality. I’ve sent multiple emails explaining my use case, but I keep getting rejected without any clear explanation or workaround. My Ask Has anyone faced a similar issue with NSE entitlement? Are there any alternative approaches to achieve the same functionality? Any advice on how to escalate this to Apple or get proper feedback on why it's being rejected? I’ve invested years into this app, and a forced rewrite would take months. Any help, insights, or contacts who could assist would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 🙏

Example: I have a state var curHighScore declared in ContentView. I select it, right click and select "Find Selected Symbol in Workspace" The result is : 1 resul in 1 file, i.e. the line of declaration of the var But obviously, the same var is used at line #102: How come this occurence is not found by the search command. Such happens every now and then. Is there something I am missing ? What is causing this ? Thanks for your help.

My application is in flightTest mode. I received my first two crash reports in XCODE /Organizer. The context is well described, and I was able to isolate the locations where very serious errors occurred. My application is connected. I'm missing one piece of data in this crash report: the time of the crash. This will help me see what (in my case) static data was being read on the data server at that time. This will help me investigate. Is it possible to obtain this information?

Hi. I have a xcframework that has a dependency on 'RxSwift' and 'RxCocoa'. I deployed it using SPM by embedding it in a Swift Package. However when I import swift package into another project, I keep getting the following error: "Missing required module 'RxCocoaRuntime" How can I fix this? Below are the steps to reproduce the error. Steps Create Xcode proejct, make a dependency on 'RxSwift' and 'RxCocoa' (no matter doing it through tuist or cocoapods) Create XCFramework from that proejct. (I used commands below) xcodebuild archive \ -workspace SimpleFramework.xcworkspace \ -scheme "SimpleFramework" \ -destination "generic/platform=iOS" \ -archivePath "./SimpleFramework-iphoneos.xcarchive" \ -sdk iphoneos \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild archive \ -workspace SimpleFramework.xcworkspace \ -scheme "SimpleFramework" \ -archivePath "./SimpleFramework-iphonesimulator.xcarchive" \ -sdk "iphonesimulator" \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild -create-xcframework \ -framework "./SimpleFramework-iphoneos.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/SimpleFramework.framework" \ -framework "./SimpleFramework-iphonesimulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/SimpleFramework.framework" \ -output "./SimpleFramework.xcframework" Embed in Swift Package, and deploy. // swift-tools-version: 6.0 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "SimplePackage", platforms: [.iOS(.v16)], products: [ .library( name: "SimplePackage", targets: ["SimplePackage"]), ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift", from: "6.8.0") ], targets: [ .binaryTarget( name: "SimpleFramework", path: "Sources/SimpleFramework.xcframework" ), .target( name: "SimplePackage", dependencies: [ "SimpleFramework", "RxSwift", .product(name: "RxCocoa", package: "RxSwift") ] ) ] ) Download Swift Package in another project and import module. I resolved this by removing dependencies from the Swift Package, downloading package in another project, and fetching dependencies by cocoapods. Thist works, but I don't want to use another dependency manager while using SPM. Development Environment CPU : Apple M4 Max MacOS : Sequoia 15.3 Xcode : 16.2

I tried dragging an apns file for a live activity into my simulator to begin a Live Activity. It didn't do anything. I didn't see it mentioned in the wwdc videos either. So I'm wondering if this experience is not yet developed, or maybe I'm doing something incorrectly?

I have a VPN installed (Global Protect) on my company computer, which is a MacBook Pro M2, to access the company network, internal URLs, websites, and run the app I work on. However, even with the VPN installed, I am having trouble accessing certain resources. The solution found was to manually configure the proxies for my Wi-Fi network. After configuring the proxies, I was able to access all the company's URLs and everything I needed. However, the Xcode Simulator is not picking up these network configurations, and when I try to run the project, it does not work. How can I solve this?

This is the complete Playground code: import MapKit import SwiftUI import PlaygroundSupport struct AddressSearchView: View { @State private var region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.01, longitudeDelta: 0.01) ) var body: some View { VStack { Map(position: .constant(MapCameraPosition.region(region))) { } .frame(height: 300) } } } struct AddressSearchView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { AddressSearchView() } } PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(AddressSearchView()) When I try to run this I get this in the debug console: error: Couldn't look up symbols: protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler. the preview never shows up. If I use other SwiftUI components and not the map it works fine. What is happening? Playground target is Swift 6 macOS (iOS does the same). Xcode 16.2

Hi, You're here because your project has issues related to Xcode Previews or Swift Previews. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of any of the following: An error in your SwiftUI app, Xcode previews, or on-device previews. A configuration error in your Xcode project, including any third-party dependencies or packages. A system issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, or in Xcode Previews. Based on your request, I need more information about your SwiftUI app when rendering Xcode Previews or on-device previews. Specifically, I’ll need the diagnostics Swift Previews generates to make sure I understand the error encountered by the preview system. Please create a report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested in the instructions below. For issues with macOS, Mac Catalyst, on-device iOS, or on-device visionOS previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics: Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device. Reproduce the error while previewing on device, taking note of the timestamp when the error occurred. Attach the Previews diagnostics, sysdiagnose from your Mac, a sysdiagnose from the previewing iOS or visionOS device. For issues with Xcode Previews, perform the following steps to gather diagnostics: Download and install the Swift Previews logging profile for your device. Reproduce the error in Xcode Previews, if you haven’t already done so. If an error banner appears in the canvas, click the "Diagnostics" button within the banner, then go to Step 5; otherwise, continue to Step 4. If the error banner is missing, navigate to the menu in Xcode: Editor > Canvas > Diagnostics In the presented sheet, click the "Generate Report" button. Attach a zip file containing the diagnostic report to your bug report (it will be named something like previews-diagnostics-0123456789.zip). Submitting your feedback Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the following information is included in your feedback: with the Swift Previews logging profile installed, attach the sysdiagnose logs gathered after reproducing the issue the Previews diagnostics generated by Xcode timestamp identifying when the issue was reproduced focused sample Xcode project that reproduces the issue (if applicable) screenshots or videos of the error (optional) Please include all requested information to prevent delays in my investigation. After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond to your original Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your SwiftUI app, a configuration issue within your Xcode project, or an underlying issue in the operating system, SwiftUI, in Xcode Previews, or on-device previews.

Working with .xctestplan files reminds me very much of working with project files and nibs and storyboards back in the day 😅 It seems that they are non-deterministic. This means that every time we add a new test module or edit the inclusion rules at all the whole file is recomputed. But it doesn't have a fixed order so everything in the file changes. It makes it very difficult to see what has happened in PR reviews and causes conflicts any time anything is changed. TBH... because it isn't alphabetical, even just finding a particular test suite is difficult without changes. Are there any plans to bring this file format up to date with the likes of xcodeproj and xib files? It would help massively while working with source control in a larger team. Thanks

After updating from Xcode 15.4 to Xcode 16.2, I am unable to build my project. I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance on how to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help and guidance.

Hi! When I run my project on a real device (iPhone 15 Pro), I encounter the following error: Build input file cannot be found: '/Users/Interexy/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SinglePhotoBook-geecnphrjebsisdmhcyzlsefvphm/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SinglePhotoBook.app/SinglePhotoBook'. Did you forget to declare this file as an output of a script phase or custom build rule which produces it? How can I solve this? I've already reinstalled Pods and cleaned DerivedData a million times, but the issue persists. Xcode: Version 15.4

I just made clean data on simulator then started getting the below error built on Xcode ? Showing Recent Issues Entitlements file "Clinic.entitlements" was modified during the build, which is not supported. You can disable this error by setting 'CODE_SIGN_ALLOW_ENTITLEMENTS_MODIFICATION' to 'YES', however this may cause the built product's code signature or provisioning profile to contain incorrect entitlements.

Swift 6.1 introduces package traits, which are great. But sometimes one might want to have a trait that is not enabled by default, and in such cases you will still want to be able to unit test them. Can we get an option, perhaps in the test plan configuration, that would allow us to specify traits that should be enabled when compiling for testing, even if those traits are not enabled by default? Bonus points if we could have multiple test plans that each build with a different set of traits, and running all the tests would cause the package to be built multiple times, so that all possible combinations of traits could be properly unit tested.

We have developed a custom iOS framework called PaySDK. Earlier we distributed the framework as PaySDK.xcframework.zip through GitHub (Private repo) with two dependent xcframeworks. Now, one of the clients asking to distribute the framework through Swift Package Manager. I have created a new Private repo in the GitHub, created the new release (iOSSDK_SPM_Test) tag 1.0.0. Uploaded the below frameworks as Assets and updated the downloadable path in the Package.Swift and pushed to the GitHub Main branch. PaySDK.xcframework.zip PaySDKDependentOne.xcframework.zip PaySDKDependentTwo.xcframework.zip When I try to integrate (testing) the (https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM_Test) in Xcode, am not able to download the frameworks, the downloadable path is pointing to some old path (may be cache - https://github.com/YuvaRepo/iOSSDK_SPM/releases/download/1.2.0/PaySDK.xcframework.zip).

Hello, I am brand new to development in Xcode. I have created a Mac app that I need to use XLSXWriter to export a workbook and sheet. Is GitHub the only place for this download or is there an apple developer specific area to get the library? Thanks

I have a valid dev certificate and created a valid provisioning Profile. I have added the Device UDID too , which I can see in provisioning Profile too. In XCode-16 both certificate and provisioning Profile looks good and no issue here with the expiration date too. Issue - While running the app on my iPhone connected to Mac.its shows the build is successful but shows the followinf errors . An IPA of APP failing the installation. Unable to install the App `A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found. Domain: com.apple.dt.MobileDeviceErrorDomain`

My app uses the top navigation panel which contains the back button, a title, and prompt. On an actual device, the navigation area is light and shows all three items. On the simulator, the navigation area is black and only the back button is shown. I need this to be correct for app store screen shots.
