Hi, I’m trying to free up space on my computer and have uninstalled Xcode. However, I noticed that many large files remain on the filesystem even after uninstalling it. The largest remaining files (~33 GB) are iOS Simulator images located at: /System/Volumes/Data/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes I attempted to delete them using root privileges, but it seems that these system files are mounted as read-only. I’m reaching out to ask for guidance to ensure that these files do not contain anything important for macOS, and that it’s safe to remove them before getting in recovery mode. Thank you very much for your advice!

Hi all, I'm trying to integrate Apple’s DeviceCheck API into my Flutter iOS app. I already have everything set up on the backend — the Apple private key, key ID, team ID, and DeviceCheck capability. The backend is generating and signing the JWT correctly and making requests to Apple. However, I’m currently stuck on the frontend (Flutter): 👉 How can I generate the device_token required by the DeviceCheck API (via DCDevice.generateToken) in a Flutter iOS app? I understand that DCDevice.generateToken() must be called from native Swift code. I previously attempted to use a MethodChannel to bridge this in Swift, but would prefer not to write or maintain native Swift code if possible. I've looked for a prebuilt Flutter package to handle this, but nothing exists or is up-to-date on pub.dev. Main Question: Is there any Apple-supported way to generate the device_token for DeviceCheck from a Flutter app without writing Swift code manually? If not, is DCDevice.generateToken() the only possible approach, and must I implement this via Swift and Flutter platform channels? Thanks!

I had an Intel macbook and I used that to build and release my app to app store but I didn't release for 2 years. Recently a bug was reported that I needed to update the a code and make a new release with my apple silicon macbook. But I get this issue when I go to Product -> Archive. I tried updating pods, as well as adding following line to the Podfile but no change. platform :ios, "12.0" target "myApp" do use_frameworks! pod "AFNetworking" pod "KVNProgress" pod "GCDWebServer" pod "CocoaLumberjack" pod "Intercom" pod "GoogleWebRTC" pod "SAMKeychain" pod "googleapis", :path => '.' pod 'gRPC', '1.0.0' pod 'gRPC-Core', '1.0.0' pod 'gRPC-ProtoRPC', '1.0.0' pod 'gRPC-RxLibrary', '1.0.0' pod 'BoringSSL-GRPC', '0.0.7' end post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| if target.name == 'BoringSSL-GRPC' target.source_build_phase.files.each do |file| if file.settings && file.settings['COMPILER_FLAGS'] flags = file.settings['COMPILER_FLAGS'].split flags.reject! { |flag| flag == '-GCC_WARN_INHIBIT_ALL_WARNINGS' } file.settings['COMPILER_FLAGS'] = flags.join(' ') end end end end end Nothing worked for me. What do I do now? I appreciate any help

I am trying to setup a unversal linking for my new developing app. but it look like not function well. did any one have some examples or demo domains suggest to use? In fact finally my app is just internal using, user will not suppose connect to internet , how can I using the universal linking without a website ? Thanks

I have a ContentView in my app which includes the line of code FileUploadProgressAttributes. this struct is defined in a file included in the target FileUploadProgressExtension. and it is an ActivityAttributes. in ContentView I imported FileUploadProgressExtension, and the xcode is able to find the FileUploadProgressAttributes during prebuild. but during build, it gives me Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "FileUploadProgressExtension.FileUploadProgressAttributes.init(filename: Swift.String) -> FileUploadProgressExtension.FileUploadProgressAttributes the workaround i found is to add the file with the FileUploadProgressAttributes to my app's target, but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. When Xcode created the extension for me, it added the extension target as a target dependency of my app. so obviously if i added this file to my app target it makes the extension target pointless. First time working with widgets so I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

On macOS, I get a system popup when running UI tests in GitHub saying: “bash” is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio. How can I prevent these login and screen access popups from appearing during automated UI tests? Is there an official setup or configuration for running IntelliJ UI tests in CI environments (macOS, Linux, Windows) to avoid such dialogs? My builds run in GitHub Actions VMs, so I can’t manually grant these permissions, and they block the tests.

Test Coverage shows "No Coverage Data" on Xcode 16.3. Code Coverage is checked in my scheme. The same configurations worked on Xcode 16.2 but don't work on Xcode 16.3. any update on when it will be fixed?

I’m a registered iOS developer, and I’ve been facing an issue with installing iOS developer updates for the past couple of years. I can download the updates, but they get stuck at 99.9% complete and don’t finish. I’ve tried following the instructions to force restart the phone, but it stays on the Apple logo screen until it dies. I can update official iOS versions, but not beta versions. To update, I have to put the phone in DFU mode and install the update that way. This is frustrating and prevents me from making timely updates to my app and from diagnosing new issues during testing. I’d like to request that Apple investigate this issue and identify a solution. For reference, I’ve installed a bare-bones version with no new apps, and the problem persists. I would like a resolution that allows me to update normally without having to DFU the phone each time. This occurs via OTA or IPSW manual download and installation. Please refer to the following FB submission numbers: FB21642029 and FB21017894. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO THIS MESSAGE AND HELP ME TROUBLESHOOT THIS ISSUE?!

The app I am working on crashes when opening a webview. webviews are working on iOS 18.2 simulator, but crashing in 18.5 simulator. On actual devices they don't seem to crash. Can someone know the reason for it and how to fix it?

Hello! I am trying to automate iOS builds for my Unreal Engine game using Unreal Automation Tool, but I cannot produce a functionnal build with it, while packaging from XCode works perfectly. I have tracked down the issue to a missing file. I'm using the Firebase SDK that requires a GoogleService-Info.plist file. I have copied this file at the root of my project, as the Firebase documentation suggests. I have not taken any manual action to specify that this file needs to be included in the packaged app. The Firebase code checks the existence of this file using NSString* Path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @“GoogleService-Info” ofType: @“plist”]; return Path != nil; If I package my app from XCode using Product -> Archive, this test returns true and the SDK is properly initialized. If I package my app using Unreal Engine's RunUAT.sh BuildCookRun, this test returns false and the SDK fails to initialize (and actually crashes upon trying). I have tried several Unreal Engine tricks to include my file, like setting it as a RuntimeDependecies in my projects Build.cs file. Which enables Unreal Engine code to find it, but not this direct call to NSBundle. I would like to know either how to tell Unreal Engine to include files at the root of the app bundle, or what XCode does to automatically include this file and is there a way to script it? I can provide both versions .xcarchive if needed. Thanks!

I am attempting to generate screenshots at various logical times using a watchOS 11 simulator. % xcrun simctl status_bar "Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm)" override --time 9:06 An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=45): Simulator device failed to complete the requested operation. Operation not supported Underlying error (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=45): Status bar overrides not supported on this platform. Operation not supported Using WatchOS Clock Settings gives me at most 59 minutes in which to succeed. Even if I had a physical watch for every series and size, I would have to wait up to 23 hours before being able to generate my marketing screenshots to support various user scenarios. With three settings variations, a minimal wait time to get to good marketable content would be on the order of 1 month per app version.

I'm working on a custom instrument that displays intervals from os_signpost data. I'd like to color the intervals in the graph based on data from an accompanying aggregate. For example, color the interval red if its duration is greater than 3 standard deviations from the mean. Is this possible?

Where are the local documentation files location on MacOS? None of the existing data on the internet is applicable anymore. Trying to bundle documentation for use in an LLM and the developer site is unusable for crawling. Thanks! *.docset

We have started facing an issue after updating Xcode from version 15.2 to 16, we have a voip application with webview and call kit, and we have the Background Modes capabilities: Voip, Audio, Background fetch, and Background processing. We had no problem on Xcode 15, but ever since updating Xcode 16 and sdk 18, when app goes into the background during an active call, the app is suspended and no events are triggered UNTIL the app is resumed to the foreground.

Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

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
