Hello! I am writing UI tests for an app with OAuth authentication and want to avoid the login screen. I want each developer to store the password and username locally on their machines. The bash script will get the token. I need to access that token from my test target somehow. The idea was to write them to a temporary file that git ignores and access this file from the bundle. But I can't add the file from the build script to the target and make it accessible from the code.

Can we use Icon Composer to drive an app icon for iOS 26 apps today? I get errors uploading a build to TestFlight internal testing about missing App icon dimensions for an iOS 26 app.

The Foundation Models Framework stopped working after Xcode failed to download the "Predictive Code Completion Model". What happened was on macOS Tahoe 26.0: Downloaded and installed Xcode 26 Beta (17A5241e) Worked with Foundation Models framework. Everything worked fine. ✅ Opened Xcode 16.4 This triggers the downloading of Predictive Code Completion Model which then fails. Go back into Xcode 26 Beta, Foundation Models framework no longer works. ❌ Error: "Failed to find asset: com.apple.gm.safety_deny.input.code_intelligence.base.generic - no asset" What I've tried or checked: Reinstalling Xcode 26 Beta Uninstalling both Xcodes and only installing Xcode 26 Beta Checked available space on drive (over 300 GB free) Restarted Mac Restarted Xcode 26 Changed wifi networks Turned on VPN Deleted the Library > Developer > Xcode folder and reinstalled Xcode 26 Feedback Report FB18208139: Can't download Predictive Code Completion Model - Xcode 26 Screenshots

Canvas Previews (targeting macOS) in both Xcode 16.4 & Xcode 26 fail to load, when the project imports a Swift package that imports and uses WebKit. I'm on macOS 15.5. Tried also to bring minimum targets of both the project and the package to 15.0. I see that there are some work-arounds for iOS simulator but nothing for the Mac. Anyone facing the same problem?

I am a bit confused. My understanding previously was that a modulemap was required in order to have a bridging header be generated. Now it has come to my attention that a modulemap is both a build input and something you can put in the Modules folder of the built product if you so choose. I have tried reading the clang modulemap documentation, but am really struggling to connect most of what it says to the problem at hand. In a project I am working on, the generation of the modulemap file is quite problematic. The framework imports C++ libraries and itself writes Objective-C++ wrappers for them. Currently, the modulemap file is both set as the Module Map File in "Build Settings" and presumably used when the Swift project later imports it. In this project the modulemap is a list of the objective-c++ header files then export * I am trying to understand what I would lose if I do one or both of two things: What happens if I dont set this module map file in the build settings for the objective-c++ framework? What happens if I dont have a modulemap involved whatsoever in this objective-c++ framework and then it is imported into Swift? And does any of this change if its compiled as a static vs dynamic library? What if I embed it vs not embed it? Because the build in the real project is so complicated its hard to isolate what is going on. So I built a smaller sample app. There is CFramework which has an objective-c++ class. There is SwiftProject which imports that framework and is purely Swift. It imports the module and uses it. I did not write a modulemap file, and the Swift project builds just fine. In the timeline it: Prepares packages Computes target dependency graph Builds static cache for iPhoneSimulator18.2sdk As near as I can tell even though the objective-c++ framework is not built with a modulemap in its build settings and there is not a modulemap included in the framework everything works. So then the modulemap file is useless? Perhaps it speeds things up but what step would theoretically be skippable?

I am experimenting with Foundation Models using the new #Playground macro. It is pretty useful. One thing I am finding though, is that the playground constantly executing is distracting, when I restructure my code and know that the intermediate results are broken and I don’t care about them. I would like to disable the Playground, make some bigger code changes, and then enable Plaground again. How do I enable and disable the Playground from constantly running?

This is the Icon Composer from Xcode 26.0 Beta 1 (not the really old one Xcode6? 😆 that I find when I search here) Is there a way to show the really cool 3D that they showed off during demos? Maybe all we get is which level is on top. Upon export it only seems to be able to do 2x? - is there some way to get it to take 1x? Every time I change it - it jumps back to 2x and iOS wants 1x... maybe a feedback. Also Xcode seems to want 3 icons - but there are 6 iOS ones exported. How do I get the other 3 in there? It does seem pretty easy to import PNG's from Sketch and order them and move pieces around. I guess you can save individual lighting for each icon mode.

I'm new to Apple Development. I've converted a python program to swift. The operator selects a top level folder and the program moves files in and out of subFolders within the selected folder. How do I resolve the Permissions errors whenever accessing subfolders?

I am sort of trying to do the opposite of what others are doing. I have a target called CopyFramework that creates a CopyFramework.framework within my main xcproj file. I set up this target because a specific framework (we can call it Tools.xcframework) is distributed as a binary. That framework file lives within the code. Tools.xcframework is structured like so Tools.xcframework (Coding/testBuild/DynamicToolFrameworks/Tools.xcframework) info.plist ios-arm64/ Tools.xcframework/ Tools (executable file) Tools.bundle Headers/ Info.plist Modules/ Tools.swiftmodule/ arm64-apple-ios.abi.json arm64-apple-ios.private.swiftinterface arm64-apple-ios.swiftdoc arm64-apple-ios.swiftinterface module.modulemap module.private.modulemap PrivateHeaders/ ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/ When the CopyFramework target is run xcode does a few steps which copy the correct version of this framework to derived data. Process Tools.xcframework (iOS) Coding/testBuild/DynamicToolFrameworks/Tools.xcframework /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/testBuild-sha/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Tools.framework ios cd /Users/calebkierum/Coding/testBuild builtin-process-xcframework --xcframework Coding/testBuild/DynamicToolFrameworks/Tools.xcframework --platform ios --target-path Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/testBuild-sha/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos Meaning essentially that the Tools.xcframework for the proper platform is taken from Tools.xcframework/ios-arm64 and copied to Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/testBuild-sha/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Tools.xcframework I am writing a Swift Package that needs to be able to reference the correct Tools.xcframework. I have set it up like so: let package = Package( name: "CoreObjC", platforms: [.iOS(.v17), .macCatalyst(.v17)], products: [ .library(name: "CoreObjC", targets: ["CoreObjC"]), ], dependencies: [ // Does something to here ??? //.package(path: "../testBuild") ], targets: [ .target( name: "CoreObjC", dependencies: [ // Here I would like to be referencing the CopyFramework.framework target within my buildTest.xcproj file .product(name: "CopyFramework", package: /*??? its not in a swift package its a part of an xcproj file*/) ], path: "CoreObjC", publicHeadersPath: "Headers", linkerSettings: [ .linkedFramework("Tools", .when(platforms: [.iOS])), .linkedLibrary("c++") ] ), ], cxxLanguageStandard: CXXLanguageStandard.gnucxx14 ) Now obviously this does not work. I do not know how to communicate to the Package.swift file that the binary dependency is a framework target within my xcproj file. If I do run the target CopyFramework followed by building CoreObjC it works though (so long as you comment out the bits trying to reference CopyFramework). Running the CopyFramework target processes the Tools.xcframework and copies the proper xcframework sub folder to Derived data and the Swift Package build system seems to be able to see it. Is there a way I can get rid of this manual step? Make it so that when I build the CoreObjC target (swift package) that either CopyFramework is run or some other process is run to get the proper xcframework out of Coding/testBuild/DynamicToolFrameworks/Tools.xcframework and into DerivedData? Is it even theoretically possible to have a Swift Package reference a target in a normal xcproj file?

Apple could not verify “iPad_Air_M2_26.0_23A5260n_Restore.ipsw” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. xCode 26 fails to download simulators. I downloaded from the apple developer site. When I double click I get the above message. I went to the System Settings > GateKeeper, and selected Open Anyway. This poped up a window with a button, Open in xCode-bata. Clicking the button does not appear to do anything. I can not use xcode without simulators.

Xcode 16.4, MacOS Sequoia 15.5 If I try to use a logger in an Xcode Playground e.g. import os import UIKit var logger = Logger(subsystem: "Loggertest", category: "") logger.info("Hello, world!") I get the following error error: Couldn't look up symbols: ___dso_handle ___dso_handle Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler. Its the logger.info ... that is causing the error. I have raised FB18214090 but there are no other reports. I would be grateful if some of you could verify if the Playground runs or errors on your system. A workaround, still using Logger, would be a great help. Thanks, Chris

Using Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e) Wanted to try out raw identifiers for Swift Testing tests, and while they work, syntax colorization is dreadful. Much less readable then just using a custom name with @Test. Feedback: FB18260756 Example with a raw identifier of some example test name:

I am developing an iPhone and watch app with xcode. I bought a new Mac and when I tried to build it with xcode, I got the message "/Users/watanabekensuke/TennisData/TennisDataMax/TennisDataMax Watch App/headlinea-regular.ttf lstat(/Users/watanabekensuke/TennisData/TennisDataMax/TennisDataMax Watch App/headlinea-regular.ttf): No such file or directory (2)" and I couldn't build it. Can someone help me?

In 2020 I created FB7719215, which I updated several times (including just now) and in 2021 I created FB9204092, but the issue is still there: when I keep Xcode open (currently version 16.3), my battery drains much quicker, even when it's apparently idle. For instance, today I barely did anything in Xcode, but still it has been at a constant 90% CPU for the last hours, and I keep checking the battery percentage to check how much time I have left. Does anyone at Apple has an explanation, workaround and/or fix?

If I do this: NSString *name = @"Jim"; NSMenuItem *menuItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc]init]; // Analyze does show localization warning when format string is used. menuItem.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Hello %@",name]; I expect to get the following warning: User-facing text should use localized string macro But I don't. However if I do this: menuItem.title = @"What"; I do get the warning about localization as expected and as desired when I run Analyze. Is this considered a bug? Thanks!

WKWebView based apps crash in today's Xcode 16.4 iOS 18.5 simulator with messages including: "Library not loaded: /usr/lib/swift/libswiftWebKit.dylib" and of the form "/Users/yyy/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/zzz/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libswiftWebKit.dylib' (no such file)"

New betas of the platforms were released today (June 23), but I don't see any update for Xcode. Is there a way to get the Xcode 26 beta 1 to install the beta2 OSes for the simulator somehow? Or do we simply need to wait for an update?

Hi everyone, I’ve been troubleshooting this for days — my app icon doesn’t show in the Simulator or TestFlight builds, despite what seems like a perfect setup. ✔️ What I’ve Already Verified: AppIcon.appiconset includes all required PNGs (20x20 up to 1024x1024) Contents.json is valid and complete (see attached) Asset catalog folder is named AppIcon Set correctly in Project > General > App Icon Source = "AppIcon" Cleaned build folder, restarted Xcode, and tried on multiple simulators Even used a fresh Xcode demo project — same result 🧪 Setup Details: Xcode version: [replace with your version, e.g. 15.3] iOS Deployment Target: [e.g. iOS 16.0] App Type: SwiftUI 🔍 Screenshots Attached: Assets.xcassets structure Project > General tab (App Icon section) Info.plist Contents.json Blank icon on simulator home screen ❓ Questions: Could this be a metadata or cache corruption? Is there a known issue with icons not rendering in recent Xcode builds? Any workaround to force refresh the icon system? Any help is deeply appreciated — thank you in advance!

How do I make std::string look like a char array? The expression viewer for std::strings is horrible.

Hi Apple Developer Community. I have a problem with opening my Xcode File in Xcode 16. It says, that a specific File is missing and I don't know how to resolve this. Can someone help me? Thanks for the help :)
