How do we build Intel compatible binary in Sequoia Xcode?
This is recipe I used to do. Create new project. eg. Storyboard, Objective-C Select Project, Go to Build Settings > Architectures Change "Build Active Architecture Only" to "NO". Build... Go to build directory and check with "lipo" command > lipo -info Products/Debug/my-test.app/Contents/MacOS/my-test Architecture in the fat file: Products/Debug/my-test.app/Contents/MacOS/my-test are: x86_64 arm64 This has been working for Sonoma. However, I followed the same procedure in Sequoia, (Sequoia 15.5 Xcode 16.2), it's showing arm64 only. Architecture in the fat file: Products/Debug/my-test.app/Contents/MacOS/my-test are: arm64 Does anyone have any idea how to build Intel compatible binary in Sequoia dev environment?

How to call API of tested app in UI Testing of Xcode7?
Hi guys, recently I've been investigating new UI Testing in Xcode7. There seems to be limited APIs we can call direct in UI test. Can I include header files and call public API of my tested app in UI Test? so that I can have more flexibility to set my app status before running test. I intent to call API method "-(void)reloadURL:(NSURL *)url" of my app in UI Test, but test failed with "XCTRunner -[_XCTRunnerAppDelegate myAppDelegateUtils]: unrecoginzed selector sent to instance 0x7cf0a992fe10"In Unit Test we can call any API of the tested app, does it support in UI Testing too? I'm a start learner of Xcode and its testing...could anyone help to answer this question? Thanks!

How to trace/debug AU in Logic 11.1 on Arm?
Previously it was needed to attach XCode (16.3) to the AUHostingService. This does not show up in the list of attachable processes any more. Just attaching to Logic Pro skips all breakpoints. I am trying to debug output-configuration as Logic offers versions of our Plugin that employ mono outputs which we do not actually provide. Any hints how I can trace through the plug-ins init code??

AR Camera Freezes in Split View on iPad (Vuforia + Unity + iOS 16+)
Hi everyone, We're developing an AR app using Unity with Vuforia for object detection. Our app works well in full-screen mode, including detection and post-detection phases. However, we're facing a specific issue in iPad Split View multitasking mode. Problem: The AR camera (Vuforia-based) freezes during object detection if another app is opened in Split View. Post-detection, everything works fine in Split View. The problem only occurs during detection. Testing Environment: iPadOS 16+ Unity with Vuforia plugin Using EnableMultitaskingCameraAccess() method with AVFoundation to support camera multitasking AR scene is set up properly with detection capabilities in full-screen

iOS simulator triggers lots of "*** quit unexpectedly" alerts
Everytime when iOS simulator is launched I het a lot of repeated "*** quit unexpectedly" alerts. Where "***" is a mix of "managedappdistributiond","healthappd", and "findmylocated" Even after the simulator is launched I still het random "*** quit unexpectedly" alerts. Very annoying because the alerts deactivates the active window This is on an MacBook Pro M3 Max,, Xcode 15.2, Sonoma 14.2.1, it also happens with Xcode 15.1 A co developer (MacBook Pro M1 Max,Xcode 15.2, Sonoma 14.2.1) does not have the issue Any idea how I can prevent this from happening? Update Every mentioned service crash happens in libswiftCore.dylib at 0x1929f3938 assertionFailure(:_:file:line:flags:) + 248

Paired Watch not appearing in Xcode
I managed to install watchOS 2 without having registered my Watch's UDID, but as it's part of the instructions for installing watchOS betas I thought I'd better do it now in case beta 2 bricks my Watch or something.However, the Watch isn't appearing in Xcode. I've tried both the latest public release and Xcode 7 beta, but there's "no paired devices" section under my iPhone when I connect it to Xcode and look in the Devices window.

How does one figure out the Team ID for their Personal Team
I can find the Team ID for a registered development account by going to:developer.apple.com > Account > Membership > Team IDI'm sure that a similar ID exists for the Personal Team. If I select my personal team in xcode and then open MyProject.xcodeproj > project.pbxproj, I can find said ID by looking for DEVELOPMENT_TEAM. But this is a rather hacky way to find my personal team ID. Are there other simpler ways to find it?
