I find the inspector, file navigator, issue navigator, etc. all hard to read. Is there a way to increase the size of these texts without changing all of the text on my machine?

The Menu command to create a new project based on a Package.swift file is gone. How am I supposed to do this now?

FB22844728 Xcode 26.5, macOS 26.5, MacStudio M1 64 GB The disaster of S-L-O-W T-Y-P-I-N-G that plagued Xcode several years ago returns. I guess all the ultra-advanced LLM neuroneirowebs still can't advise those at Apple who develop the Xcode app how to provide this uber-exotic, unheard-of functionality: JUST TYPING THE CODE. This disaster doesn't affect all projects, but it does affect the exact one I'm working on, and I need to type a lot of code there. Significant time is already wasted. I performed all the recommended steps like relaunching, restarting, and deleting deprived data with no effect. Hope something can be done about it..

It seems that the behavior of the .copy rule in SPM packages has changed in Xcode 27. This change now results in raw files being copied into the bundle without compilation, resulting in crashes and missing resources since uncompiled resources cannot be used by the OS. More specifically, in Xcode 26, when .copy was applied to resources such as storyboards, asset catalogs, etc. it would cause Xcode to compile those resources into the respective storyboardc or Assets.car before copying. Xcode 27 does not do this and instead copies the raw files. I do understand that there is a difference between .process and .copy, and the documentation does state that the process rule needs to be used for those files. Is this a regression in Xcode 27 or is copy not compiling anything expected behavior? Submitted FB23115950

In the video "Xcode, Agents and You" (direct link), the presenter asks for a walkthrough of the open project and Xcode presents a rich-text overview of the app's architecture, with color-coded diagrams and clickable links to the files it discusses. I can't get that to work when I try it, though. Is this a preview of a feature that isn't yet available in the first beta of Xcode 27? Is this because I'm using a local model or because it only works with a specific kind of model?

iPhoneSimulator.app used to have the ability to show an external display / CarPlay display, but this feature does not appear to be available in DeviceHub.app, making it difficult (/impossible :( ) to test CarPlay features from the simulator.

Nothing changed on my end, Pro subscription still active, but Xcode 26.5 (17F42) simply does not want to log into Codex anymore. It opens the OAuth flow and after finishing and closing the window, it still says "Not Signed In". Codex login works everywhere else, including the Codex app. What to do?

I’m attempting to set up Gemini agentic support in Xcode 26.6 RC (and I'm assuming the process is the same in 27), but since I need to use Gemini with a corporate account, I have a Google Cloud Project ID, not an API key, so it seems like the configuration file route is the right path? After consulting Gemini and filling out the .env file and settings.json files, Xcode is complaining about needing to be authenticated, and I can’t seem to see how to trigger the auth, like one might do in Gemini CLI. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice at this point. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m trying to use a third-party MCP server (ICM) in Xcode 27’s new Coding Assistant. The server appears to start correctly and shows up when I run /mcp, but as soon as an agent tries to use it, Xcode appears to rewrite my config and changes "enabled = true" to "enabled = false". My configuration looks like this: [mcp_servers.icm] command = "/opt/homebrew/bin/icm" args = [ "serve", "--no-embeddings", "--db", "/Users/Sam/emdash/worktrees/Castle/emdash/custom-widget-system-5dubi/.icm-xcode/memories.db" ] enabled = true I’ve spent quite a while debugging this and found some interesting behaviour: The MCP server appears when I type /mcp. SQLite databases can be created and written inside the current workspace. SQLite databases can also be created and written in /tmp. SQLite databases outside the workspace (for example in ~/Library/Application Support) fail with readonly/open errors. Ordinary file operations outside the workspace still work fine. What I’m trying to understand is: Why is Xcode disabling the MCP server? What filesystem access should MCP servers have? Are they intentionally restricted to the workspace and /tmp? Is there a supported way to allow an MCP server to access data stored elsewhere on disk? Has anyone else run into this? Thanks!

The process of copying shared cache symbols from my Apple Watch has been horrendous. I cannot even get past 2% complete before this process fails. Every device is on the same network. I have trusted my machine. Developer mode is enabled on the watch. I have successfully paired the phone and watch. I managed to install an Watch app onto the watch. But the shared cache symbols were never copied from the watch. I gathered several commands at the terminal to help me. rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/CoreDevice sudo killall -9 remoted CoreDeviceService 2>/dev/null || true xcrun devicectl manage ddis update xcrun devicectl list devices Clear CoreDevice state.

I can't use cloud-based AI providers, so I'm very excited about the potential of local models with Xcode's Coding Assistant. I've been playing around with a local MLX model, and have been generally pretty satisfied with it. But I'm curious - what features am I missing out on by using a local model instead of a larger, cloud-based model? Is Xcode's ability to run tests, build the project, etc. limited by the use of a local model? Does it limit the ability to do more complex agentic workflows? If so, how? Basically, local models in Xcode seem to be working pretty well for me, and I'm curious to know what cloud-based models can offer that I don't already have.

I have a workspace containing a DriverKit USB driver and the containing application that utilizes the driver. These are in separate projects. How do I configure the application project or the workspace so that, when I build the app, the driver is automatically built and copied into the application package as required for delivery? Currently I have to manually select the driver target, build, and then select the app target and build. In order to get the driver into the app, I have included it as a build-phase dependency but I had to hardcode the driver project output path and it doesn't build it automatically. Additionally, because I hard-coded the debug path, when I try and create an Archive to deliver the app, the app includes the debug version of the driver instead of the release version. I'm obviously doing this wrong because it is as clunky as can be.

Hey all, the codex sign in isn't working for me in Agents. I am using the 26.5 release candidate version. It always says "Not Signed In". I have completed the Sign In process multiple times. Anyone else seeing this? I have filed Feedback FB22732574

Environment: macOS: Tahoe 26.4 Xcode: 26.5 ChatGPT account successfully authenticated Codex CLI installed and working Codex App installed and working Steps to reproduce: Install Xcode Codex/OpenAI component version where GPT-5.4 is the highest available model. Sign in with ChatGPT account. Confirm Codex works in Xcode. Update the OpenAI/Codex component in Xcode. Attempt to sign in again. Expected result: Xcode completes authentication and shows signed-in status. Actual result: Browser successfully completes authentication and displays "Signed in to Codex." Xcode remains in a sign-in loop or shows "Not Signed In." Authentication never completes. Additional observations: Codex CLI authentication succeeds. Codex App authentication succeeds. ChatGPT web/app access succeeds. Anthropic/Claude component updates continue to work normally in Xcode. Issue appears specific to the updated OpenAI/Codex Xcode component. Older component (GPT-5.4 maximum model available) authenticates successfully.

I wasn't sure if I should post this to the gaming subsection or here, but since this is an Xcode crash, I thought I'd try here first. I originally made this Spritekit game a few years ago on an old 2012 intel mac stuck on Catalina. When bringing the project over to Xcode 26, I first had to download Xcode 10 on the old mac, upgrade the project to swift 4, then bring it over to my newer machine to even be able to open it in Xcode 26. All that being said, I'm sure this process had some unintended consequences. I wasn't getting this crash before converting the project to swift 4 and bringing it over to Xcode 26. As you imagine, the entire Xcode crash report was massive. Near the top of the report there is I believe some crash relevant crash information, but google wasn't much help with the error codes and I don't know what to make of it: Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6, Abort trap: 6 Terminating Process: Xcode [55897] I have no idea how to tackle this problem since I can't even get in to the scene to look around, nor does Xcode have time to throw any specific scene errors. The game runs just fine, including that level. I can play through the entire thing on device or simulator with no issues, but if I click on the .sks of level 3 in Xcode, Xcode immediately crashes. Closing Xcode and trying to open the .sks in question by itself via finder also immediately causes an Xcode crash. I can open up the other levels in the finder just fine.

My app relies on two-finger tap for some interactions. This was easy in the old simulator by holding down option while clicking. Is there an equivalent interaction in Device Hub? (Option-click no longer seems to work.) If not, will this be added back in a future beta?

This button is enabled for new projects I've created in Xcode 27, but I haven't been able to see it in a not grayed-out state with any of my existing projects created with prior versions of Xcode.

Has anyone managed to get Copilot working using the new ACP integration in Xcode 26.6 and Xcode 27 beta? I have tried setting it up using the path to the copilot binary as instructed and the flags --acp --stdio but Xcode just displays a "Your request couldn't be completed" error: JSON-RPC global stream failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEIntelligenceProtocol.JSONRPCElement.Error error 1.) I am running the latest version of copilot cli and it works in many other IDEs.
