Hello,
I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue in Xcode since version 26.0, and it is still present in 26.2. When using the split view to display two files side by side, the area in the top‑right corner of the window (the inspector / options panel) starts flickering continuously.
This happens regardless of whether I’m using the light or dark theme, and even with the Liquid Glass effect disabled in macOS settings. None of these changes have any impact on the issue.
I have already submitted a bug report through Xcode (Feedback Assistant), but the issue is still present as of today.
The flickering makes the interface difficult to use and visually very distracting.
I’ve attached a video to clearly show the issue. I will review the attachment at the time I publish this post.
Thanks in advance for any help or feedback.

Apple made them both, and for some reason they are acting like each is speaking a foreign language. Once you plug the iPad in, shouldn't the "trust this computer" kick in and allow the iMac to turn on developer mode? I'm the dumbest person in the world when it comes to Code, but this is a no brainer! And the fact that the iPad is in Developer mode, is the most frustrating part. This needs a fix.

im facing a problem where everything was working just fine the previous day then overnight I get a email saying I’m terminated for fraud when all my info is my correct information and is up to date I will say this I did have a name change, but that was like three years ago so I’m not sure what is going on or what the problem is . id really love some feedback or ideas on what I should do no
Hi everyone.
I'm trying to use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-info to retrieve order information. How can I get the refund status of an order through this API? Also, Apple's webhook notification for refunds includes fields like revocationReason and revocationType. Can these be retrieved through the API? I've noticed that some refund orders have these fields when retrieved using get-transaction-info api, but others don't. I don't know the reason for these differences. Could you please explain?
Thank you very much.

Am developing an application that creates custom VPN. I have enabled Sandbox properties. VPN will be granted based upon the device posture. Posture includes reading the disk encryption value, secureboot and Firewall values.
Application just tries to fetch the values to provides its posture.
Since the application is sandboxed, it is getting denied to read the above mentioned values.
How to achieve this with Sandboxed enabled?

The Send to Device in Reality Composer Pro no longer works for me. The progress spinner keeps spinning...
Happens with Wifi and Developer Strap (first gen).
Any known workarounds / ways to recover?
We have developed an iPad application using the ARCL (AR + CoreLocation) library to render Point of Interest (POI) annotations in both an AR view and a standard MapView. The application performs as expected on standard devices.
However, we have some iPad covered with strong magnet. This creates significant magnetic interference, resulting in a 90° to 180° heading offset, rendering the AR POI placement and MapView orientation unusable.
Technical Challenges & Constraints:
Hardware Lock: The magnetic cover is a mandatory business requirement and cannot be removed during field use.
Sensor Failure: The internal magnetometer cannot provide an accurate North reference due to the proximity of the cover’s magnets. While CoreLocation and CoreMotion use sensor fusion, the magnetometer remains the primary source for absolute heading.
Alternative Orientation Tracking: Is there a documented method to bypass the magnetometer and derive device orientation using only the Gyroscope and Accelerometer (e.g., relative tracking) while still maintaining alignment with geographic coordinates in CoreLocation?
Programmatic Offsets: Are there known APIs or mathematical workarounds to programmatically "nullify" or offset a constant magnetic bias once the device is inside the cover? so we can use that offset for ARView and in Mapview as well.
I have been trying to get into my account for several days now and I have tried everything.
First of you cannot get support because you need to be logged in so had to make another account to be able to post this. And even then the support is not working. Send an email a while ago and tried the call option and I have gotten no response from both.
I was supposed to launch my app last week and I have just not be able to log into my account. I keep getting the 'Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last code you received or try again later.' I didn't even do that, I just tried to log in and had that there. I have waited days and it's still there. I have tried changing the number for which I waited a day and now it's told me to wait another 6 days. This has caused so many problem and the lack of support is unbelievable.
Can anyone please help me get into my account or advise on what I can do ASAP.
Thanks,
Usama

The profile expiration date is approaching, and no amount of inquiries will solve it.
Create a new profile
Download a new profile from Xcode
Press archive, press Distribute App, press Enterprise, and distribute
Invalid expiration date in profile of summary of review app.ipa content
I've tried everything that comes out by Googleing profiles, such as regenerating profiles, erasing caches, updating Xcode, updating macOS, deleting existing profile information, etc.
Expiration date different from the expiration date of the profile created in that menu is displayed.
The expiration date of the profile I created is December 8, 2026, and the previous certificate is January 22, 2026.
However, the profile information of the generated ipa is February 12, 2026.
So I can't distribute this app because I'm scared, and the expiration date is coming up. Users should have a period of time to update.
Get me a novice developer who's choking up.
I´m tring to integrate InApp push provisioning but when I send the information from the issuer to SDK to add my debit card to wallet I saw this error: PKPassKitErrorDomain Code 2 error
Looking in the forum I found how to see part of the logs to get more detail on the error and I found:

Following an unexpected error message while working in Xcode, the project file xcodeproj is no longer synced in iCloud Drive.
The Finder shows a cloud icon with a ! and an error message : (NSFileProviderErrorDomain error -2005.)
If the local file is zipped, and unzipped elsewhere on iCloud Drive, then the unzipped file can still not be iCloud Synced.
Restoring the file from a Time Machine archive does not solve the issue.
Apple Care Support finds that iCloud Drive is working fine except for this xcodeproj file and says the issue is Xcode related.

After updated to Tahoe 26.2 and Xcode 26.2 it seems to have forgotten the Model Provider I had configured. I create a new Model Provider and it works fine, until I exit Xcode. When I open Xcode again my Model Provider is gone.
It all worked fine before I did the updates of MacOS and Xcode.
I am encountering a cloud signing permission error when archiving and uploading an iOS app using Xcode with Automatically manage signing enabled.
Xcode reports that it cannot access or create cloud-managed distribution certificates, and therefore cannot find any App Store provisioning profiles for either the main app target or an associated Notification Service Extension.
The error message returned by Apple’s certificate API indicates that access to cloud-managed distribution certificates is forbidden.
Error messages
Cloud signing permission error
You haven't been given access to cloud-managed distribution certificates.
Please contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin to give you access.
No profiles were found
Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Store provisioning profiles matching the app or extension targets.
Environment
Xcode: 16.x
Signing method:
Automatic signing (App Store distribution)
Apple Developer Program team with existing distribution certificates
Apple ID role:
Admin (recently upgraded from a lower role)
What I have verified
Automatic signing is enabled for all targets
The correct team is selected
Bundle identifiers are valid and already registered
The app and extension exist in App Store Connect
Distribution certificates already exist in the team (previously created manually)
Observed behavior
Xcode attempts to access cloud-managed distribution certificates
Apple certificate service responds with a permission-denied error
As a result, provisioning profiles cannot be generated automatically
Question
After being upgraded to an Admin role, is there a known delay or additional requirement before an account can access cloud-managed distribution certificates, especially for teams that previously used manually managed distribution certificates?
Is there any recommended action (besides waiting or having the Account Holder perform an initial signing operation) to unblock automatic signing in this situation?

I'm using Xcode cloud to create testflight builds, and I noticed that a few weeks ago these builds no longer contain any "What to Test" info.
We include a TestFlight/WhatToTest.de-DE.txt file in our repo, and that file seems to be picked up correctly, at least the logs say
Saving “What to test” notes
Found notes for de-DE
Any ideas of what I should be looking into or change?
This is a screenshot from the Swift Task track in Xcode.
I made these tasks with
public actor ResourceManager {
func foo() {
for observer in observers {
Task(name: "ResourceManager notify observers") {
await notification(observer)
}
}
}
}
I am confused why each of the task is showing as a separate task in the task lifetime summary. Is there a way to queue the trace in Instruments into the fact that these are indeed the same task?
Hello,
According to documentation, the App Store does not re-download the entire app when updating, but instead generates an update package containing only the changed content compared to the previous version.
I’d like to clarify the following points:
1. Granularity of file changes
If only part of a large file changes, does the update package include the entire file, or does it patch only the modified portions within that file?
2. Guideline on separating files
The documentation recommends separating files that are likely to change from those that are not. How should this be interpreted in practice?
3. Verifying the diff result
Is there a way for developers to check the actual diff result of the update package generated by the App Store without submitting the app?
Is there a diff command tool or comparison method closer to the actual App Store update process?
4. Estimating update size during development
For apps with large-scale resources, minimizing update size is critical.
Are there any tools or best practices to estimate the size of the update package before submitting to the App Store?
Any clarification or reference materials would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Gitlab runner on M4 Mac Mini 2024, XCode 26.2, supported platforms: iOS, native UIKit swift project. Cocoapods.
Trying to run tests via fastlane:
run_tests(workspace: 'Project.xcworkspace',
destination: "platform=macOS,id=#{deviceId}",
scheme: "Release",
clean: true)
And having an error:
$ xcodebuild -showBuildSettings -workspace Project.xcworkspace -scheme Release -destination platform\=macOS,id\=01234567-0123456789B9001C 2>&1
[12:23:53]: Could not read the "SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS" build setting, assuming that the project supports iOS only.
[12:23:54]: Found simulator "iPhone 16 Pro (18.5)"
The tests runs just fine in xcode on "My Mac (Designed for iPad)" device on the very same machine. Compared the output of xcodebuild -showdestinations in terminal:
$ xcodebuild -showdestinations -workspace Project.xcworkspace -scheme Release
Available destinations for the "Release" scheme:
{ platform:macOS, arch:arm64, variant:Designed for [iPad,iPhone], id:01234567-0123456789B9001C, name:My Mac }
{ platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device }
{ platform:iOS Simulator, id:dvtdevice-DVTiOSDeviceSimulatorPlaceholder-iphonesimulator:placeholder, name:Any iOS Simulator Device }
{ platform:iOS Simulator, arch:arm64, id:A7E98A79-B29B-4E9A-8103-ECBA55ABC0C6, OS:26.2, name:iPhone 17 Pro }
But when I launch this command in gitlab runner, I get this:
Available destinations for the "Release" scheme:
{ platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device }
{ platform:iOS Simulator, id:dvtdevice-DVTiOSDeviceSimulatorPlaceholder-iphonesimulator:placeholder, name:Any iOS Simulator Device }
{ platform:iOS Simulator, arch:arm64, id:A7E98A79-B29B-4E9A-8103-ECBA55ABC0C6, OS:26.2, name:iPhone 17 Pro }
I suspect gitlab runner to ruin some ENV variable, probably. So I googled the most common issues on the internet and tried everything I found:
LANG: "en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL: "en_US.UTF-8"
unset CFProcessPath
And none is worked.
I also compared the printenv output in terminal and gitlab runner, didn't found anything suspicious.
Ran out of ideas. How can I troubleshoot this?
