Not Sandbox App, Working on SMAppService as root
I am currently developing a No-Sandbox application. What I want to achieve is to use AuthorizationCopyRights in a No-Sandbox application to elevate to root, then register SMAppService.daemon after elevation, and finally call the registered daemon from within the No-Sandbox application. Implementation Details Here is the Plist that I am registering with SMAppService: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.example.agent</string> <key>BundleProgram</key> <string>/usr/local/bin/test</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/bin/test</string> <string>login</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Code that successfully performs privilege escalation (a helper tool popup appears) private func registerSMAppServiceDaemon() -> Bool { let service = SMAppService.daemon(plistName: "com.example.plist") do { try service.register() print("Successfully registered \(service)") return true } catch { print("Unable to register \(error)") return false } } private func levelUpRoot() -> Bool { var authRef: AuthorizationRef? let status = AuthorizationCreate(nil, nil, [], &authRef) if status != errAuthorizationSuccess { return false } let rightName = kSMRightBlessPrivilegedHelper return rightName.withCString { cStringName -> Bool in var authItem = AuthorizationItem( name: cStringName, valueLength: 0, value: nil, flags: 0 ) return withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &authItem) { authItemPointer -> Bool in var authRights = AuthorizationRights(count: 1, items: authItemPointer) let authFlags: AuthorizationFlags = [.interactionAllowed, .preAuthorize, .extendRights] let status = AuthorizationCopyRights(authRef!, &authRights, nil, authFlags, nil) if status == errAuthorizationSuccess { if !registerSMAppServiceDaemon() { return false } return true } return false } } } Error Details Unable to register Error Domain=SMAppServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Operation not permitted} The likely cause of this error is that /usr/local/bin/test is being bundled. However, based on my understanding, since this is a non-sandboxed application, the binary should be accessible as long as it is run as root. Trying post as mentioned in the response, placing the test binary under Contents/Resources/ allows SMAppService to successfully register it. However, executing the binary results in a different error. Here is the plist at that time. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.example.agent</string> <key>BundleProgram</key> <string>Contents/Resources/test</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>Contents/Resources/test</string> <string>login</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Here is the function at that time. private func executeBin() { let bundle = Bundle.main if let binaryPath = bundle.path(forResource: "test", ofType: nil) { print(binaryPath) let task = Process() task.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: binaryPath) task.arguments = ["login"] let pipe = Pipe() task.standardOutput = pipe task.standardError = pipe do { try task.run() let outputData = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile() if let output = String(data: outputData, encoding: .utf8) { print("Binary output: \(output)") } task.waitUntilExit() if task.terminationStatus == 0 { print("Binary executed successfully") } else { print("Binary execution failed with status: \(task.terminationStatus)") } } catch { print("Error executing binary: \(error)") } } else { print("Binary not found in the app bundle") } } Executed After Error Binary output: Binary execution failed with status: 5 Are there any other ways to execute a specific binary as root when using AuthorizationCopyRights? For example, by preparing a Helper Tool?

Unable to preview on latest Xcode
I'm new to Xcode and decided to give it a try, however, I'm unable to preview even the default "hello, world" message. I've tried downloading Xcode on the App Store on Mac and from the official website, but I couldn't go pass the "Preparing (Automatic) iPhone Simulator." I've also tried the following line of code on Terminal, but nada: xcrun simctl erase all Here's what I see for almost two hours now (it makes no sense): My system specs: iMac Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019, 3 GHz Intel Core i5 6-Core, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 (two 4gb core each), 1TB SSD. I've coded way bigger web projects using various applications, but Xcode can't even preview the sample file? Please, help. I would really like to code using Swift. :)

About Xcode and GitHub
So I started a project in Xcode but without GitHub. Now I have prepared Xcode for GitHub and kind of made it work. I have also made a folder where I have cloned my project from GitHub. So is there any way to connect Xcode and the new folder. If I save my project it doesn't know about my new folder I presume: I could continue to use GitHub via Xcode but I'm afraid I will forget about commands in Git if I only use Xcode. If I should work on another project without Git.

There is no longer a Frameworks and Libraries section for App Extensions with Xcode 16
I've got an existing app which is using some 3rd party xcframeworks within its app extensions (for example within a Notification Service Extension). Within the target for the app extensions there is a Frameworks and Libraries section where the xcframework was dragged and dropped into. However now I want to create a new project and do a similar thing, within the app's target there is a Frameworks and Libraries section, but when an app extension target is created, Xcode is not adding a Frameworks and Libraries section. There is a Link Library with Binary section, however this doesn't have an embed section (where you can select to embed, don't embed, embed without signing etc.) and I get build error trying to drag and drop the xcframework in here. Where id the Framewoks and Libraries section go for app extensions for projects created with Xcode 16? How can this section be added?

Run on multiple simulators
I am developing a game that has 3 team members. I can manually start up 3 simulators and run the game for developing/testing but seem like there should be a simple way to click build/run and have it launch on all three automatically. Does anyone know how to do this or if its even possible without writing some scripts?

Xcode 16.2 won't open project
Since updating to Sequoia, Xcode no longer opens some projects. What I’ve tried so far: Opening the project directly from the .xcworkspace file, but it still doesn’t open. The app doesn’t crash, but the project simply won’t load, and the UI doesn’t appear. What I tried: Uninstalled and reinstalled Xcode. Cloned the project from scratch. I’m currently using Sequoia 15.3.1 on a macbook pro M3.

Verification Error in Production: Should I Submit My App with the Backend in Sandbox Mode?
Hello, My payment system works correctly when my backend is in sandbox mode, but when I submit my app for review, I get the following error: VerificationException [Error] at SignedDataVerifier.verifyNotification (/Users/---/node_modules/@apple/app-store-server-library/dist/jws_verification.js:126:19) at SignedDataVerifier.verifyAndDecodeNotification (/Users/---/node_modules/@apple/app-store-server-library/dist/jws_verification.js:121:14) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at async file:///Users/---/src/api/routes/apple.routes.js:22:18 { status: 2, cause: undefined } Main Question For Apple to approve in-app purchases, should I submit my app for review with the backend in sandbox mode or production? Possible Causes of the Error I would appreciate any suggestions on what might be causing this error and how to fix it. Thanks in advance! 🚀

Gaps in Xcode build timeline
Reposting (after a while) from the Swift forums - the build timeline for our project has a lot of weird gaps in the beginning - almost 15 seconds in total, which is quite a big chunk of the total build time. Is there any way to determine why they exist or how I could fix them? I hope it's just something hidden and not the build system literally doing nothing... This is on Xcode 15.4.

Shortcut only works on one target/scheme
I added an AppIntent and Shortcut to an app. I have different targets all producing slightly different versions of the app (for testing purposes) but even though the files with the intents and shortcuts are included on all targets, when I run the app from one of the other targets the shortcuts stop working and appearing on the Shortcuts app. Only the version without parameters appears and when run produces an error: “The action (name) could not run because an internal error occurred” Is there anything I’m missing? if I duplicate the target where they run ok, everything is fine (and I might just recreate all the targets) thanks!

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?

Xcode 16 simulator slow to load - unusable
I'm on version 16 of simulator and Xcode. Last Friday, starting the simulator would take 10 seconds at the most. Now, it takes at least 10 minutes. My app target is the same and nothing in my app itself has changed. There's no new software installed and it has plenty of RAM and disk. When I target my phone, it is instant. So I'm testing / debugging everything on my phone now. When I use the simulator, the initial load is about 10 minutes, then it's fine (using the app itself). But something is causing it to hang when loading. And like I said - last week it was fine. If it was slow when running on my phone, I'd think it was something with me/the app. But it's not. This is the only messages I get in the system log. Feb 24 12:54:46 MacBookAir bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1740423286 329039 Feb 24 13:06:42 MacBookAir syslogd[2095]: Configuration Notice: ASL Module "com.apple.contacts.ContactsAutocomplete" claims selected messages.
