The code in my app is split into frameworks that I can use both from my main app and its app extensions. In order to use the frameworks inside the app extension, I need to build them with the Xcode build setting Require Only App-Extension-Safe API set to Yes. When I do that, debugging framework code in my main app no longer works properly. I can set a breakpoint, but any attempt to print a value via p or po will give a set of errors like the following: error: module file /Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/...-daqfgouagvlkudfebrmzrurogmld/Build/Intermediates.noindex/SwiftExplicitPrecompiledModules/_errno-B8I5WSZMM09RXHYLYEWSC1BLE.pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation error: Objective-C App Extension was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled How do I fix this?

I have a new build/version of my app that required changes by Apple in order to approve. I created a new build and uploaded via XCode (it shows in TestFlight) but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the "+" sign next to "IOS App" in App Store Connect.

So Xcode has projects. And I breakup my code/libraries/targets into those. So why after 20 years of Xcode, can a workspace, that holds projects not display the same project opened in another workspace? The workspace redirects all output the project would normally generate in DerivedData to a completely different folder by default. What this means is I have to shut one workspace, and then open the other workspace with a different set of projects to see the ones that are shared. The workspace can't build because it can't open the project shared with another one that is open. VS sln files don't have this issue, so why do workspace files.

Hi! A few months ago my flutter project was building successfully and then suddenly stopped working after an xcode update. In the latest attempt to build, I see error message Module ‘audioplayers’ not found (in target ‘Runner’ from project ‘Runner’). Thank you in advance for any help! Flutter version: Flutter 3.3.0-0.5.pre • channel beta Xcode version: 16.3 Target ios version: ios 12.0

I am encountering an issue while running my CarPlay app in the simulator using CPListTemplate. On app launch, when I tap on the first item in the list and then tap on the second item, both items remain selected instead of only the latest tapped item. This behavior does not align with the expected single-item selection functionality. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a workaround or a known resolution for this behavior?

As far as I know, there was a time that you can capture GPU workload for opengles game app on iOS using Xcode. However, currently I'm using Xcode version 15.2 and iOS18，it seems the "capture GPU workload" button is always disabled when I'm trying to debug my game app which is using opengles api for graphics rendering no matter switchinng "GPU Frame Capture" to "OpenGL ES" or "Metal" or "Automatically" in the scheme. And I'm not able to capture GPU workload for my game on iOS. The only way to make the "capture GPU workload" button enabled is creating a new project using metal api for graphics rendering. But I don't want to change the graphics API, because it will cause a lot. Does Xcode still support capturing GPU workload for OpenGLES game app on iOS? If not, is there an alternative way?

Hi, I am in the last step "preparing for submission" and everything excepts "age rating" is fine. How can I fix this? I have two apps and on neither i can edit "age rating" :(

For Xcode 15 and Xcode 16, whenever I try to use the Refactor->Rename command I get a spinning busy cursor for a short while then I get an alert that says: Rename Failed Refactoring engine failure. This happens on several projects and I've tried removing the derived data folder, but am at a loss to find additional troubleshooting steps. Are there other files I might remove or reset to get my "Refactoring Engine" back into shape?

In app purchase is not executed in ios while i run the code in xcode 16.3 But it's working fine in Xcode 16.0. There is no proper error message or any alerts showing. It just returns an empty product identifier. Provide the me the solution or kindly fix the issue in xcode IDE regarding this issue in latest xcode

Hi everyone, I recently built an iOS application that fetches the healthkit data with the BGProcessingTask. It is working as expected in the debug with the physical device connected but its not working in Testflight. I printed out the logs but they don't show that the background process's running. Here is my code snippet. func registerBackgroundTask() { BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: taskIdentifier, using: nil) { task in LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("registering the background task...") print("registering the background task...") self.handleBackgroundTask(task: task as! BGProcessingTask) } } func scheduleBackgroundHealthKitSync() { print("scheduling background task...") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("scheduling background task...") let request = BGProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: taskIdentifier) request.earliestBeginDate = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 60 * 1) request.requiresNetworkConnectivity = true request.requiresExternalPower = false do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) print("BGProcessingTask scheduled") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("BGProcessingTask scheduled") } catch { print("Failed to schedule task: \(error)") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Failed to schedule task: \(error)", isError: true) print(LogManager.shared.backgroundProcessLogs) } } func handleBackgroundTask(task: BGProcessingTask) { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("handleBackgroundTask triggered") print("handleBackgroundTask triggered") let dispatchGroup = DispatchGroup() dispatchGroup.enter() // Reschedule the background sync for the next time scheduleBackgroundHealthKitSync() var taskCancelled = false // Handling expiration task.expirationHandler = { taskCancelled = true LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Background task expired", isError: true) print("Background task expired") dispatchGroup.leave() } let healthKitManager = HealthKitManager.shared // Start the background sync operation healthKitManager.fetchAndSendAllTypes() { success in if success { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("HealthKit sync completed successfully") print("HealthKit sync completed successfully") } else { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("HealthKit sync failed", isError: true) print("HealthKit sync failed") } dispatchGroup.leave() } // Notify when all tasks are completed dispatchGroup.notify(queue: .main) { // Check if the task was cancelled using your own flag or state if taskCancelled { task.setTaskCompleted(success: false) // Fail the task if it was cancelled } else { task.setTaskCompleted(success: true) // Complete successfully if not cancelled } LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Background task ended with status: \(taskCancelled == false)") print("Background task completed with success: \(taskCancelled == false)") // Logs success or failure } } Here are the logs from my device. scheduling background task... BGProcessingTask scheduled

Imported Type Identifiers automatically adds into xcstrings, hot to turn it off?

Is there some official documentation about the SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT environment variable and how it affects the version reported by tools like sw_vers and whether the presence of that environment variable affects APIs like NSOperatingSystemVersion? I ask this in context of recent macOS 26 Beta version where NSOperatingSystemVersion from older versions of XCode (for example XCode 15.4) report the macOS version as 16.0.

Hi All, I'll start by saying i am complete beginner when it comes to coding/ developing. So please be easy on me, im also using AI tools to help and learn so apologies if what im saying doesnt make sense. The error im getting is /Services/SupabaseManager.swift:47:29 Cannot find 'GlobalOptions' in scope From AI tells me 'GlobalOptions' is defined a types.swift file in the supabase package public struct GlobalOptions: Sendable { /// Optional headers for initializing the client, it will be passed down to all sub-clients. public let headers: [String: String] /// A session to use for making requests, defaults to `URLSession.shared`. public let session: URLSession /// The logger to use across all Supabase sub-packages. public let logger: (any SupabaseLogger)? public init( headers: [String: String] = [:], session: URLSession = .shared, logger: (any SupabaseLogger)? = nil ) { self.headers = headers self.session = session self.logger = logger } } From what i can see i have added the supabase package successfully, following this guide - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/adding-package-dependencies-to-your-app Here are some screenshots of my xcode to show the added package.

I'm integrating Apple Pay with PayFort in a Swift iOS application, and I’m currently working on preparing a valid purchase request using Apple Pay, as described in PayFort’s documentation: 🔗 https://docsbeta.payfort.com/docs/api/build/index.html?shell#apple-pay-authorization-purchase-request The documentation outlines the following required parameters: apple_data apple_signature apple_header apple_transactionId apple_ephemeralPublicKey apple_publicKeyHash apple_paymentMethod apple_displayName apple_network apple_type Optional: apple_applicationData I understand these should be derived from the PKPayment object after Apple Pay authorization, but I’m having trouble mapping everything correctly. Here’s what I’m seeing in code: payment.token // Returns something like: <PKPaymentToken: 0x28080ae80; transactionIdentifier: "..."; paymentData: 3780 bytes> payment.token.paymentData // Contains 3780 bytes of encrypted data payment.token.paymentData.base64EncodedString() // Returns a long base64 string, which at first glance seems like it could be used for apple_data, // but PayFort doesn't accept it as-is — so this value appears to be incomplete or incorrectly formatted I can successfully retrieve the following values from payment.token.paymentMethod: apple_displayName apple_network apple_type However, I’m still unsure how to extract or build the following in the format accepted by PayFort: apple_data apple_signature apple_header apple_transactionId apple_ephemeralPublicKey apple_publicKeyHash apple_paymentMethod These may be contained within the paymentData JSON, but I’m not sure how to decode it or if Apple allows decrypting it in a way that matches PayFort’s expected format. How can I correctly extract or build apple_data, apple_signature, and apple_header from the Apple Pay token? Also, how should I handle the decryption or decoding (if necessary) of paymentData to retrieve values like apple_transactionId, apple_ephemeralPublicKey, and apple_publicKeyHash? If anyone has successfully set this up or has example code that bridges Apple Pay and PayFort’s expected request format, it would be super helpful! Thanks in advance 🙏

When I execute: geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler:{[weak self](placemarks, error) in print("reverse geocoding location after altitude: ",location.altitude) print("placemark location first", placemarks?.first?.location?.altitude ?? -1) The input CLLocation has correct altitude 25, instead the location in the output placemarks have altitude 0, when of course they should have the same location. Moreover it is impossible to retrofit any data in the returned placemarks as they are portrayed as a read only property.

Just wondering if it is possible to configure a secondary macbook to act as a run destination in Xcode, similar to how you would configure an iPhone as a run destination. I have tried connecting my device via USB-C and I can see that my macbook detects the second macbook via USB but it does not show up when trying to add devices in Xcode. I suppose this flow might not be supported?

Hi, This maybe somewhat confusing, but please bear with me. I currently have an app in the App Store that supports iOS and tvOS. But the tvOS version was a separate app during the development process. I'd like to combine the iOS and tvOS app into one project so its easier to handle and keep track of internally. Can I upload the new Apple TV version to the same place where the current one is, or would I have to delete the current Apple TV version before uploading the newly combined version? I hope I made that clear enough :-) Thank you, Dan Uff

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

The “Deployment Targets” for iOS was IOS12 or higher in Xcode15, but is now listed as IOS15 or higher in Xcode16. https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ How does this change affect developers and users? For example, if a developer specifies less than iOS15 in the “iOS Deployment Target” on Xcode, how will this affect them? Also, will users under iOS 15 be unable to run the apps?

Hi, I compiled Intel Open Image Denoise library for iOS, and obtained a bunch of dependent dylibs. I want to use these ones in a swift project (via bridging as this is C/C++) targeting the iPad. I understand that it is required to embed these dylibs into frameworks as iOS doesn't allow dylib. Is it necessary to generate one framework for each dylib? If so, how are dependencies between the libraries (and their frameworks) managed? Or, is it possible to generate only one framework embeding all the dependencies?
