Getting a weird build failure with Xcode 26 beta 5 that I haven't seen before. Build works fine locally but fails in CI when building with xcodebuild with this error: build description signature: 7cb0bf47dd6decc14090f5ae23d66594 Build description path: /Users/user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ProjectName-dpklhpaqruhpwdbkihszqtqogzfb/Build/Intermediates.noindex/XCBuildData/7cb0bf47dd6decc14090f5ae23d66594.xcbuilddata error: Failed to decode version info for '/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/actool': The data couldn’t be read because it is missing.

Anyone else hitting this? Seems like a parsing bug in the beta where it can't read its own version info properly.

Hi, I've been running Xcode 26 beta ever since Beta 1 and haven't had rebooting problems. Now with Xcode beta (Version 26.0 beta 4 (17A5285i)) I'll be working on a project when the system (Mac mini 2025) suddenly reboots itself. This has been going on since beta 3. I am also running MacOS 26.0 Beta (25A5316i). I have filed a bug report. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, Dan Uff

Today's Xcode release won't download the visionOS SDK, gives a 'network error'.

We are getting following error in xcode cloud "The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes" We are using following env to create a build. Xcode: 14.2 Macos: Ventura 13.2.1 We didn't face any issue in Ventura 13.2.0 and we are seeing this issue in our first build using ventura 13.2.1. The difference I see between successful and failure build, I don't see "Discovering Swift tasks after 'Compiling { list of swift file " in a failed build. I see compiling { list of swift file } and end of the compilation, the build is failing.

It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

I know there are several existing threads on this topic but things keep changing. The release notes for Xcode 26 beta 3 have the following statements for a couple of resolved issues: Asset Catalog Fixed: Unable to set Icon Composer icon as alternate iOS icon (153305178) (FB18025356) Icon Composer Fixed: Icon Composer icons back deploy to older versions of iOS, macOS, and watchOS with inconsistent rendering. (152258860) I had a working solution under beta 1 and beta 2 for both of these. But under beta 3, I am now seeing the new glass icons for my app when running on a simulated iOS 18 device. This is happening for both the main app icon and any alternates. This contradicts the statement that beta 3 fixes this issue. There is no documentation (that I can find) describing how you are supposed to support old icons for iOS 18 and new glass icons for iOS 26. There is no documentation for how to support alternate glass icons for iOS 26. What I'm doing at the moment (that worked before beta 3) was to have the normal iOS 18 app icons in the Asset catalog and to have the new glass icons added to the project. The filenames for the glass .icon files have the same name as the app icons in the Assets catalog. This worked under beta 1 and beta 2. And despite the Xcode 26 beta 3 release notes stating that Icon Composer icons no longer back deploy to iOS 18, I'm seeing the opposite. Beta 3 now does the opposite of that statement. Does anyone have a working solution that supports old iOS 18 app icons and new iOS 26 glass icons using Xcode 26 beta 3? Note, all of my testing is with simulated iOS devices and I'm running Xcode 26 beta 3 under macOS 15.5. Maybe that's an issue?

Swift assist has been announced by apple this year. I have waited Xcode 16.2 release before posting this because I was still hopping for swift assist this year but apple DIDN'T release swift assist and they haven't post anything about swift assist reported or something... What's going to happen with swift assist? Coming next year?

I'm trying to compile my iPad app with Xcode 16.2 and I'm consistently getting this error message: couldn't find compile unit for the macro table with offset = 0x0 This is happening at the GenerateDSymFile step. I've tried changing the debug format from Dwarf with Dsym to Dwarf and then back again, as I've read there was a problem with generating the dsyms. But the problem persists. I've tried searching for this error and found nothing online, so apparently I'm the only one! How strange. Are there any settings or flags I can change to try to get more information about what's going wrong?

Any idea what this message means? I assume it's coming from CloudKit, but the application seems to store and retrieve data properly.

I am writing to report multiple issues encountered after updating to Xcode 26 Beta, which have significantly impacted my project's compilation and functionality. My project can run normally in Xcode16.3 version, Below are the specific problems, along with the steps I took to address them and the subsequent errors that arose: Symbol Not Found Error for _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb After updating to Xcode 26 Beta, my project failed to build with the error: "Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb." To resolve this, I removed the MobileCoreServices framework from the Build Settings, as it appeared to be related. However, this led to a new error, indicating that this change introduced further complications. Clang++ Error: No Such File or Directory 'OpenGLES' Following the resolution of the first issue, I encountered a new error: "iOS clang++: error: no such file or directory: 'OpenGLES'." To address this, I added the OpenGLES.framework to the Build Phases. While this resolved the clang++ error, it triggered additional errors, suggesting that the underlying issue persists or new dependencies are conflicting. Recurring XIB File Compilation Errors My project uses XIB files, and every time I attempt to compile and run, Xcode reports errors related to different XIB files. Notably, when I open the reported XIB file, no errors are displayed within the Interface Builder. After saving or inspecting the file, the compilation error temporarily disappears, only for another XIB file to trigger the same issue in the next build. This creates a repetitive cycle. I have confirmed this is not a caching issue, as I clean the build cache (Product &gt; Clean Build Folder) before each run. If I skip cleaning the cache, the OpenGLES-related error (Issue 2) reappears, indicating potential interactions between these problems. These issues have made development with Xcode 26 Beta extremely challenging, as each attempted fix seems to introduce new errors, and the XIB issue creates a persistent loop. My setup includes: Xcode Version: 26.0 beta 2 (17A5241o) macOS Version:15.4.1 (24E263)

After updating from Xcode 16 to the new Xcode 26 beta 3, running my iOS app becomes slow to the point of unusable. It builds and installs fine, but when running with the console, it lags about 20-50x compared to building and running with Xcode 16. I wanted to try our Xcode 26 to preview my new app icon made in icon composer but now I don't think it's worth the hassle. When running via simulator, the same performance issues. Anybody also struggling with slow on-device testing speed? I am on Sequoia 15.5.

Hi, in our Xcode project we have a Tooling package, which defines build tool plugins for generating compile time safe constants for our localization strings as well as assets using swiftgen. This is working very well in Xcode 16, but fails in Xcode 26 beta 1 and beta 2 as well. The failure is specifically: unsupported configuration: the aggregate target 'Localization' has package dependencies, but targets that build for different platforms depend on it. I've reduced this to a minimal sample project, which you can find here.. To reproduce: Open the Repro workspace, that is attached in Xcode. Try to build TestyPackage. You'll see the error. I've filed this bug during WWDC week, but no feedback yet and no solution in Xcode 26 beta 2. Here's the feedback number, in case you have this too and want to file a duplicate: FB17934050. Does anyone else have this issue and perhaps a solution?

Hi, I am reaching out to seek assistance with a persistent code signing issue that is preventing our team from installing our iOS app, "Scoopz" (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scoopz-real-life-real-video/id6449206831) on physical devices. We suspect there may be an issue with our Apple Developer account, as we have exhausted all standard troubleshooting steps without success. Below, I’ve provided details about the issue, the error logs, and the steps we’ve taken. Issue Description: When attempting to install the app on an iPhone using Xcode, we encounter the following error: Unable to Install “Scoopz: Debug” Domain: IXUserPresentableErrorDomain Code: 14 Recovery Suggestion: Failed to verify code signature of /[REDACTED_PATH]/OurApp.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.) The app builds successfully to the iOS Simulator and can be released to the App Store without issues, but it fails to debug on physical devices. Steps Taken: Our team has attempted the following troubleshooting steps without resolving the issue: Verified that our Apple Developer account is active and our team membership is valid. Checked certificates in Keychain Access and the Apple Developer Portal, ensuring they are not expired or revoked. We created and installed new Apple Development certificates. Confirmed that the provisioning profile includes the target device’s UDID, is associated with a valid certificate, and is not expired. We regenerated and reinstalled the profile. We tried both xcode managed and manually installed profiles. Cleaned the Xcode build folder, deleted the app from the device, and rebuilt the project. Despite these efforts, the issue persists across our entire development team, leading us to believe there may be a problem with our Apple Developer account or its associated certificates/profiles. Request for Assistance: We kindly request your help to: Investigate any potential issues with our Apple Developer account that could be causing this code signing error. Verify the status of our certificates and provisioning profiles on Apple’s servers. Provide guidance on any additional steps or configurations needed to resolve the error. If necessary, suggest how we can escalate this issue for further investigation.

I implemented AppTrackingTransparency framework but Apple is rejecting the review because it seems the request is failing on iPadOS 18.3.1. which seems rare since it is working on all other devices. Has anyone faced the same issue? I have tested this in a physical iPhone with IOS 18.3.1 and in several devices using Xcode runtime simulator including iPad and iPhone in different IOS versions up to 18.2 (which I understand is the latest available in Xcode). The problem is that 18.3.1 runtime simulator is not available yet. Does anyone have more information when it will be available or what to do in these cases?

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.

Hi everyone, (you can answer in french) I’m french-rookie in xcode, and I have a problem: I’m trying to choice my custom font to add it in my Main.storyboard button, but it not works. I have my « Font provided by application » line in my Info.plist, with the name of my font in [0] (See images below) When I’m on storyboard button, I chose « custom » in font selector, then display font list but my custom font doesn’t appear. I already tried to install the font in my mac, but still stucked, nothing change 😭 Could you help me please? Thanks a lot (I specify that I scrupulously followed the way of doing explained on the Apple official page: Adding a Custom Font to Your App )

Hi, I’m seeing an unexpected change in how XCTFail behaves in UI tests after updating Xcode. I use the following helper method: `func waitForExistance(file: StaticString, line: UInt) -> Self { if !(element.exists || element.waitForExistence(timeout: Configuration.current.predicateTimeout)) { XCTFail("couldn't find element: \(element) after \(Configuration.current.predicateTimeout) seconds", file: file, line: line) return self } else { return self } }` In Xcode 16.4, this worked as expected: – when an element wasn’t found, XCTFail was triggered, but the test continued running, allowing my retry logic to execute. After updating to Xcode 26.1 / 26.2 - the test now immediately aborts after XCTFail, without executing the next retry. The logs show: `t = 113.22s Tear Down t = 113.22s Terminate com.viessmann.care:81789 *** Assertion failure in -[UITests.Tests _caughtUnhandledDeveloperExceptionPermittingControlFlowInterruptions:caughtInterruptionException:whileExecutingBlock:], XCTestCase+IssueHandling.m:273 Test Case '-[UITests.Tests test_case]' failed (114.323 seconds). Flushing outgoing messages to the IDE with timeout 600.00s Received confirmation that IDE processed remaining outgoing messages` It looks like XCTFail in Xcode 26 is now treated as an unhandled developer exception, which stops the test execution immediately, even when it’s called inside a helper method. This was not the case in earlier versions. My questions: Is this a regression in XCTest? Or an intentional change in how XCTFail behaves in newer Xcode versions? Should failures now be reported differently (e.g., using record(.init(type: .assertionFailure, …))) if I want to continue the test instead of aborting it? I would like to restore the previous behavior where the failure is logged without terminating the entire test, so my retry mechanism can still run. Has anyone else run into this after upgrading? Thanks in advance! If you’d like, I can also add recommended workarounds that actually work with Xcode 16.4 (e.g., replacing XCTFail with a non-terminating issue record).

I have been using Xcode Version 26.1.1 on macOS Tahoe Version 26.1. In VIM mode, whenever I quickly tap d twice, to delete the complete line, most of the time Xcode crashes. Is anyone else facing this issue? Should I move to any older version of Xcode or any other solve for this?

I just downloaded Xcode26, and am trying to download the new simulator to be able to run and test my app. But the downloads folder just shows that it's stuck on "Fetching download information ..." even 15 minutes after it started. I tried restarting Xcode but didn't help. Internet connection is good. Any tips to get it working?
