Flutter App not Building for iOS
Hey, Since I set up push notifications for my Flutter app following this tutorial https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/flutter-sdk-setup, my Flutter app no ​​longer builds for iOS in the CD pipeline. I get the following error: [17:24:47]: ▸ ProcessException: Process exited abnormally with exit code -6: [17:24:47]: ▸ Command line invocation: [17:24:47]: ▸ /Applications/Xcode_15.4.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -list [17:24:47]: ▸ User defaults from command line: [17:24:47]: ▸ IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES [17:24:47]: ▸ 2025-03-10 17:24:46.855 xcodebuild[13337:34491] [MT] DVTAssertions: ASSERTION FAILURE in DevToolsCore/Xcode3Core/LegacyProjects/Frameworks/DevToolsCore/DevToolsCore/ProjectModel/DataModel/References/SynchronizedGroups/PBXFileSystemSynchronizedAbstractGroup.m:28 [17:24:47]: ▸ Details: Assertion failed: IDEFileSystemSynchronizedGroupsAreEnabled() [17:24:47]: ▸ Object: <PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroup> [17:24:47]: ▸ Method: +allocWithZone: [17:24:47]: ▸ Thread: <_NSMainThread: 0x60000026c200>{number = 1, name = main} [17:24:47]: ▸ Hints: [17:24:47]: ▸ Backtrace: [17:24:47]: ▸ 0 -[DVTAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:fileName:lineNumber:assertionSignature:messageFormat:arguments:] (in DVTFoundation) [17:24:47]: ▸ 1 _DVTAssertionHandler (in DVTFoundation) [17:24:47]: ▸ 2 _DVTAssertionFailureHandler (in DVTFoundation) [17:24:47]: ▸ 3 _DVTAssertionWarningHandler (in DVTFoundation) My pipeline looks like this: name: iOS Build and Deploy to App Store with Custom Version on: workflow_dispatch: inputs: version: description: 'Version number' required: true default: '1.0.0' env: FLUTTER_CHANNEL: "stable" RUBY_VERSION: "3.2.2" jobs: build_ios: name: Build iOS runs-on: macos-latest timeout-minutes: 20 steps: - name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Set up Ruby uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1 with: ruby-version: ${{ env.RUBY_VERSION }} bundler-cache: true working-directory: 'daytistics/ios' - name: Clean up vendor working-directory: 'daytistics/ios' run: rm -rf vendor - name: Install Bundler Gems working-directory: 'daytistics/ios' run: bundle install - name: Run Flutter tasks and get pub packages uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2.16.0 with: flutter-version-file: 'daytistics/pubspec.yaml' channel: ${{ env.FLUTTER_CHANNEL }} cache: true - name: Get Flutter Packages working-directory: ./daytistics run: flutter pub get - name: Install Bundler Gems working-directory: 'daytistics/ios' run: | bundle install bundle exec pod repo update # Add this line # Remove the "Reinstall CocoaPods" step entirely - name: Pod Install working-directory: 'daytistics/ios' run: bundle exec pod install - name: Clean Flutter build working-directory: ./daytistics run: flutter clean - name: Create .env file working-directory: ./daytistics run: touch .env - uses: maierj/fastlane-action@v3.1.0 with: lane: 'release_app_store' subdirectory: daytistics/ios options: '{ "version_number": "${{ github.event.inputs.version }}", "env_vars": ["SUPABASE_URL", "SUPABASE_ANON_KEY", "POSTHOG_API_KEY", "SUPABASE_AUTH_EXTERNAL_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID", "SENTRY_DSN"] }' env: ASC_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.ASC_KEY_ID }} ASC_ISSUER_ID: ${{ secrets.ASC_ISSUER_ID }} ASC_KEY_P8_BASE64: ${{ secrets.ASC_KEY_P8_BASE64 }} MATCH_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.MATCH_PASSWORD }} MATCH_GIT_BASIC_AUTHORIZATION: ${{ secrets.MATCH_GIT_BASIC_AUTHORIZATION }} APP_BUNDLE_ID: ${{ secrets.APP_BUNDLE_ID }} GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} SUPABASE_URL: ${{ secrets.SUPABASE_URL }} SUPABASE_ANON_KEY: ${{ secrets.SUPABASE_ANON_KEY }} POSTHOG_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.POSTHOG_API_KEY }} SUPABASE_AUTH_EXTERNAL_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: ${{ secrets.SUPABASE_AUTH_EXTERNAL_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID }} SENTRY_DSN: ${{ secrets.SENTRY_DSN }} Everything works as expected in the simulator. However, I think that the problem isn't related to the pipeline. Instead I think it is related to the "Signing Capabilities" in X-Code: https://i.sstatic.net/E0tSetZP.png https://i.sstatic.net/oC1xG0A4.png Thanks for your help!

If you have code to package as a framework which has a 3rd party dependency, what can you do given that iOS doesn't support umbrella frameworks
I've got a large and complex app which has several dependencies upon 3rd party libraries (installed as pods). The app is structured according to Model-View-Controller design and there is a requirement to implement the Model part as an .xcframework so it can be included and used in the original app along with a few new apps. However, Apple documentation states that umbrella frameworks are not supported (Technical Note TN2435). The Model code has several dependencies which would be totally unfeasible to replace or remove, for example it uses RealmSwift for database storage. Obviously it would be impossible to write one's own database storage scheme in place of using Realm. However, if my framework uses Realm as a dependency, then its now become an umbrella framework. So therefore not supported according to Apple documentation. So what are options/solutions?

Not seeing any recent crash reports although there should be some
For my app Find Any File, of which both releases and TestFlight betas were released many times, the TestFlight page tells me that several users have submitted crash reports. And I'm sure the same is true for the MAS releases: (Yes, this shows quite recent ones, but I've seen similar supposed crash report submits in this list before.) However, the actual "Crashes" listing on the appstoreconnect sites hasn't show any new crash reports for many months now: (This is the entirety of crash reports I can get listed, even when removing all filters.) Something appears to be stuck, on Apple's end. The same issue is with Xcode's Organanizer window, for "Crashes": It also used to list only the same very old reports and nothing since May 2024. And just now, when I retried this in Xcode, I'm shown a weird error message I never saw before: Error Downloading Crashes List An error occurred… Access Restricted with adam id: 1207815783 And yes, I'm logged in just fine, under Prefs / Accounts. How am I going to get this investigated? I had already sent an email about this to the Review team, who didn't react to it at all. DTS is only for Code level support, which this isn't. Any help?

When creating a nested framework, most but not all symbols found
I've got an app where I want to split its Model code into a framework (.xcframework and .framework for debugging) so that it can be used by more than one app. The code has dependencies on 3rd party code, which are installed via pods. During the conversion process I keep running into the same issue which manifests with all the 3rd party code - which is that the majority of its api can be used (something like 80-90%) but for the remainder there is a linker error at runtime showing undefined symbols. I have this problem with CocoaLumberjack,RealmSwift, PhoneNumberKit and more. Its very quick and easy to reproduce the issue with a minimal framework and minimal app, below I'll describe how a minimal setup using CocoaLumberjack reproduces the issue: From scratch, I use Xcode to create a framework project, run pod init, then modify the pod file to be: platform :ios, '16.0' workspace 'TheFramework' project 'TheFramework' target 'TheFramework' do use_frameworks! pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Swift', '3.8.5' end post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '16.0' config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES' end end end Then I add source code: import Foundation import CocoaLumberjack public class AClassInTheFramework { public class func aMethod() { let consoleLogger = DDOSLogger.sharedInstance DDLog.add(consoleLogger, with: .debug) DDLogDebug("Some logging") } } Within the Xcode project, Build Libraries for Distribution is set to Yes, I also add that line to the pod file in case CocoaLumberjack isn't set similarly. In the Framework's Xcode General section, Frameworks and Libraries contains Pods_TheFramework.framework set to Do Not Embed. In the Build Phases section, in the Link Binary with Libraries section, Pods_TheFramework.framework is set to required. Next I create an Xcode app template, run pod install, and edit the app pod file to be: platform :ios, '16.0' workspace 'AppUsingFramework' project 'AppUsingFramework' target 'AppUsingFramework' do use_frameworks! pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Swift', '3.8.5' end post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '16.0' end end end I build the framework, and drag and drop it into the app. I add the following code to the app's delegate: import TheFramework ... AClassInTheFramework.aMethod() The App's target has the following linkage settings: When I build and run the app, there is the following error: If I change the source code in the framework to this: public class AClassInTheFramework { public class func aMethod() { let consoleLogger = DDOSLogger.sharedInstance DDLog.add(consoleLogger, with: .debug) // DDLogDebug("Some logging") } } Then there is no error and the code runs successfully. This illustrates the problem I've encountered with all the nested frameworks - in this particular case calls to DDLog.add() don't result in an error but calls to DDlogDebug() do, and that has been mirrored with other nested frameworks (for example with Realm, opening a database, adding, finding,retrieving an item all works without a problem, however attempting to use Realm's Results<> API results in a similar symbol not found error). Additionally note that the identical CocoaLumberjack code can run fine when used directly from within the app, i.e., if I add the following code to the app: import CocoaLumberjack func useCocoaLumberjackDirectlyFromWithinApp() { let consoleLogger = DDOSLogger.sharedInstance DDLog.add(consoleLogger, with: .debug) DDLogDebug("Some logging") } useCocoaLumberjackDirectlyFromWithinApp() Then it runs, i.e. DDLogDebug() can be successfully called from within the app, its only when its called via the framework that the error occurs. Why might I be encountering these issues? I'd have thought either I'd be able to use 100% of the nested framework's public api, or 0% of it (is something is not configured correct), not ~80% which is what I am encountering. Any ideas? TIA

App Crashes instantly in Test Flight
Hi everyone! I recently developed an app (sort of a social media app), built in React Native Expo. I have finally after months of coding, completed the App. It works completely fine and passes all my testcases on multiple devices. It has also passed Apples review and after a few tries become stable on all their devices. However, when I released it to TestFlight, it opens and crashes immediately? I have tried numerous fixes, error boundaries etc. but to no avail. I am really struggling here, I can't seem to replicate the error at all even in Xcode. It seems to just crash on open where the splashscreen flashes, not sure why? I have attached the crash report and redacted the TEAM_ID and DEVICE_ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Hassan | Founder @ Oneforge GymBuddiesConnect-2025-01-21-013038.txt

Debugging Mail extensions
I'm trying to rewrite an old AppleScript mail rule that I used extensively as a Mail extension using the MailKit framework and I've run into an issue. Previously, when developing the script, it was possible to debug it by selecting the message I wanted it applied to and choosing the Mail.app menu item "Message/Apply Rules" This would re-execute my script and I could iterate over it as many times as I liked while developing. I haven't found any great way of doing this for my extension with a MEMessageActionHandler. The closest I've found is to forward the message to myself and wait for it to come back in again over the internet, at which point the extension would get executed again. Needless to say, this makes debugging my MEMessageAction handler much slower. I've tried a number of things in Mail.app to try and get it to re-execute my extension with a particular message without any luck. Does anyone know of a good process for debugging a MEMessageActionHandler that doesn't involve forwarding the message to myself over and over and waiting for it to come in each time?

Simulate Background Fetch Not Working on Real Device, Works on Simulator
Hello Apple Support, I’m facing an issue with Background Fetch in my React Native project. When I click on Simulate Background Fetch in Xcode, everything works as expected on the iOS Simulator—background tasks run smoothly, and data is fetched without issues. However, on a real device, the app goes to the background but doesn’t execute any of the scheduled background tasks, and it also remains in the background without terminating. Here’s some additional context: React Native Project: I’m using React Native to develop this app, and the background tasks involve: Getting User Location: Fetching the user’s location in the background. API Calls: Calling an API to fetch necessary information based on the user’s location. Scheduling Notifications and Alarms: Scheduling notifications and alarms based on the API response data. Simulator vs. Real Device: In the iOS Simulator, all these background tasks trigger and function correctly when I simulate Background Fetch. On the real device, however, none of these tasks are triggered when I try to simulate Background Fetch. The app only moves to the background without performing any tasks or getting terminated. Device and Configuration Details: iOS Version: 17 Device Model: Iphone xs, Iphone 11, iphone 7 Background Modes: Background Fetch is enabled in Capabilities, and I’ve set the fetch interval to the minimum for testing. I’ve verified that all configurations are correctly set, and I’ve tried restarting the device and Xcode, but the issue persists. Is there something specific about Background Fetch that could prevent it from functioning as expected on physical devices? Any guidance on troubleshooting or additional steps would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

iOS 18.3.1 - runtime vs version number
Not sure if this is common with releases but I've been doing some CI work recently so it's the first time I've seen this myself, When I list the runtimes installed on my machine: xcrun simctl list runtimes I notice the iOS 18.3.1 release has the below info: == Runtimes == iOS 18.3 (18.3.1 - 22D8075) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-3 Meanwhile the other runtimes are listed as: == Runtimes == iOS 17.5 (17.5 - 21F79) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-5 iOS 18.4 (18.4 - 22E5216h) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-4 watchOS 11.2 (11.2 - 22S99) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.watchOS-11-2 visionOS 2.3 (2.3 - 22N895) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-2-3 (Apologies for the weird formatting above, using code blocks and quote markdown condenses things down to one line for some reason) This is causing some funkiness in my CI code which I've managed to workaround, but wondered if this was a common thing, specifically the mismatch between the iOS name and the runtime version. iOS 18.3 and com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-3 vs 18.3.1 - 22D8075 where the .1 has been dropped for the runtime names?

Provisioning Profile Does Not Include Required Speech Recognition Entitlement
I am building an iOS app with the App ID: com.echo.eyes.app I have a paid Apple Developer membership and have followed all correct procedures, including: Adding com.apple.developer.speech-recognition manually to the App.entitlements file Setting Info.plist keys for microphone and speech permissions Assigning my Apple Developer Team to the project Setting App/App.entitlements under Code Signing Entitlements Despite all this, Xcode automatic signing fails, and I receive the error: vbnet Copy Edit Provisioning profile 'iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.echo.eyes.app' doesn't include the com.apple.developer.speech-recognition entitlement. I am unable to add the entitlement via the Capabilities section, and no method I try will allow provisioning to succeed. Please update this App ID to include the required entitlement in the provisioning profile. This issue is preventing all voice recognition functionality. Thank you.

Apollo GraphQL Error – MultipartResponseParsingInterceptor.ParsingError.cannotParseResponse in SwiftUI
I'm integrating Apollo GraphQL into a SwiftUI app and encountering the following error during a query execution: result : failure(Apollo.MultipartResponseParsingInterceptor.ParsingError.cannotParseResponse) failed : The response data could not be parsed. The request hits the server, but the response fails to be parsed by Apollo. I'm using the default code generation setup and executing a simple query to fetch a list of countries. Here’s a snippet of the function: swift Copy Edit private func fetchCountries() { switch result { case .success(let graphQLResult): if let name = graphQLResult.data?.countries { print(name) } else if let errors = graphQLResult.errors { print(errors) } case .failure(let error): print("failed : (error.localizedDescription)") } } This is run on an iPhone 16 Pro simulator with iOS 18.2. Any idea what's causing the parsing error or how I can inspect the raw response for debugging? Thanks in advance!

Immediate crash of Apple Watch simulator when typing a key
I get a crash in Apple Watch simulator (Series 9 45mm 18.0) as soon as the app launch if I type anything on external keyboard (just hitting command key for instance to capture a screenshot). Same crash on series 7 (45mm, OS 18.1) But app works normally when I use mouse to interact with the app on simulator. App does not crash on real device (Watch 4 OS 10.4.1). Nor does it crash on Series 6 simulator (44 mm OS 17.4). Here are the log I could collect (apparently, they contain sensitive language !!! so I attach as a file.: Attached logs

Update metadata for an already submitted feedback
I submitted a Feedback (FB17843422) on Monday evening after the keynote about Tahoe beta 1. At the time it still wasn't listed in the "What build does the issue occur on?" dropdown. I selected "I'm not sure" instead hoping I could update it later but as far as I can tell that isn't the case since "Add more information" only lets me add additional comments. Is there some way for me to do that or is it even necessary?

Interpreting crash log assertionFailure
Hello, I am experiencing crash on TopShelf and I checked all the crashlogs, but I don't know how to interpret it.

Need guidance for creating the xcprivacy file WITHOUT A MAC when coding on flutter, especially when third party sdks are there.
When you have a mac, creating xcprivacy is pretty straightforward for your app, you simply use xcode, then select the sdks and target them and your privacy manifest is ready. In the other hand, when you are using CI/CD solutions you might not use xcode direclty. In that instance and if you are coding in flutter, you need to create your privacy manifest by hand. I would like guidance how to write that file, I would it for a given third party SDK and where to put that file in the flutter project (just to be sure) For example we choose the most important third party SDK manifest: FUTTER framework. I keep getting errors about it for my app, got alot of builds get the INVALID BINARY error because of that, and my mails indicating me a problem with the manifest. Please show me the source code of the manifest privacy for a project where a third party SDK is present (in particular: flutter sdk) Thanks

NSUserDefaults + iPhone Transfer Issues
Hi! I was wondering if anyone else encountered similar issues and what the solution ended up being. We're encountering weird sign-in issues on our iOS version of our app. It seems like an uninstall and reinstall solves it, but the issue seems to only impact users who underwent the transfer process from one iOS device to another. What I am curious about: What is copied over from one device to another in this process? Is there a way outside of owning multiple test devices to replicate this flow? Our current suspicion is that NSUserDefaults is not being cleared by our app on first start, and that stale data is copied over during this transfer process, breaking the sign-in until a re-install wipes everything properly. Does it seem like we're on the right track with this assumption, or completely out to lunch?

Swift Test Parameterized Test
Is anyone seeing flaky results when using parameterized test with pairs of (input, result) data? I have several (5) tests for a given method. I create a zip sequence by zip([in1, in2, in3, in4, in5],[out1, out2, out3, out4, out5]) Sometimes, the test only runs 4 of the tests and fails to report a failure even though I deliberately place data that should cause a failure. Sometimes, even though I only select one test to run, the test explorer goes crazy into a loop and I have to clear test results to get it to stop. Following a suggestion, I disabled running tests in parallel. Xcode 16.2 / OSX 14.7 (Sonoma) / Mac mini M2 Pro
