Breakpoint on Runtime Issue os_log_fault_default_callback
The app stops on the breakpoint when "All Runtime Issues" is added. If I disable the breakpoint, the app runs normally. Is there a new project setting to avoid this breakpoint from being set. It does not appear to be a valid error. I am running Xcode 16.2. I edited the "Type" field in the breakpoint box. This occurs with the "System Frameworks" option only.

Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.xfinity.mobile.spamfilter" doesn't include the currently selected device . But there is no selected/built for device
I'm attempting make to make a distribution build of an app. In the Xcode target the supported destinations has only iPhone and build active architectures only is set to NO. I created an archive, then selected Distribute App/ Debugging, but then got this error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.abc.def" doesn't include the currently selected device "DT-iPad-XXXX" (identifier YYYY-YYYYYY). I've no idea what this device is, it's nothing to do with me, somebody must have added it to the provisioning profile. But that should be beside the point shouldn't it? Because this device has never ever been connected to my Mac/Xcode and so can't be "the currently selected device". So I tried again. I changed build active architectures to YES and connected an iPhone to the Mac/Xcode and created an archive again. But it was the exact same error. What's going on, why is Xcode saying this iPad is the currently selected device when attempting to make a distribution?

Why can't Xcode find symbols in scope, but still compiles?
My swiftUI project has started to constantly display "Cannot find 'symbol' in scope" errors in code i haven't touched, and the project still compiles fine. Neither cleaning build folder or compiling fix the errors, but if I right click the symbol, select "jump to definition" it will find it without problem and then when I return to the original file the error will be cleared. What can I do to stop these from happening?

Is it possible to send pushes through the Apple production server to an app running in Xcode?
I can sucessfully send pushes to an app (which has been installed/run via Xcode) when the pushes are going through the Apple sandbox server. However I want to test the server is configured correctly to send them through the Apple production server. In the Xcode scheme I tried to change the build configuration to release (and ticked debug executable off) ,however the pushes still only work when sent through the sandbox. Is there a way of installing/running the app using Xcode such that its compatible with the push production environment? Does the APS Environment entitlement come into play here? this only ever says development. (The app is on behalf of a 3rd party company, they've added me to their apple developer account but with limited powers, I can't upload to Testflight nor make an ad-hoc release with with to test with)

XCode git commit showing other Projects
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?

Xcode cannot deploy to Apple Watch SE even once
Got a Watch SE recently only to find out that I can't deploy apps to it from Xcode even once. I always get the message "Connecting to Watch" and "Reconnecting to Watch". Tried with Xcode 16 and then with 16.2. Same result. For countless times, I have tried every possible solution posted on this forum and elsewhere but to no avail. Filed a feedback, no reply yet from Apple. Looks like something is seriously broken. Please fix this. FB16122816

C++ Binary Size Increase in Xcode 16 Compared to Xcode 15
I've recently upgraded my project from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16. Without changing any build settings or compiler flags, I noticed that the final executable size has increased significantly when building the same C++ code. Investigation: To investigate further, I compared the Link Map outputs from both versions of Xcode. One key difference I found: The symbol size for std::sort increased from 4,336 bytes (Xcode 15) to 6,084 bytes (Xcode 16) – a ~40% increase. This seems to be part of a broader trend where other standard library symbols are also taking up more space in the binary when built with Xcode 16. Questions: Has Apple Clang or libc++ in Xcode 16 changed the implementation of STL algorithms like std::sort? Are there changes in inlining, template instantiation, or debug info that could explain the increase? Is this expected behavior? If so, is there any guidance on minimizing the binary size regression?

NSE Filtering Entitlement Rejected Repeatedly – Seeking Advice & Possible Solutions
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! 🙏

Proxies Simulator
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?

Can I use ARGeoAnchor with simulated locations
I'm trying to evaluate if we can support AR navigation with MapKit. The feature is supposed to be available for users in US. I tried to run the sample on my iPhone: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/tracking-geographic-locations-in-ar?language=objc But I'm in a location that ARGeoTrackingConfiguration.checkAvailabilityWithCompletionHandler: always return false. I think ARGeoAnchor isn't supported in my location. I tried to use simulated locations by Adding a gpx file when launching the app. Enabling Xcode -> Debug -> Simulate Location -> New York, NY, US But the availability for ARGeoAnchor is still false. Is that possible for me to develop the ARGeoAnchor feature outside of the covered areas?

XCode 16.2 forgets my git credentials constantly
Like the title says, I'll commit some changes no problem with my Git name and email displayed properly, then work for a while longer and when use the integrate menu to stage and commit I find the git name/email are empty. My credentials are properly entered in settings. The only fix i've found is quitting and restarting. Any less frustrating option?
