static analyzer error in std::sort
I'm getting a static analysis warning on the following code. I don't think it could be my error, but I guess it's more likely a static analysis false positive than a C++ standard library bug. The warning says "Method called on moved-from object of type 'std::basic_string'". Tested in Xcode 26.5 RC. Reported as FB22735405. #include <algorithm> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h> template < class traits = std::char_traits<char>, class Allocator = std::allocator<char> > struct UTF8StringLess { bool operator()( const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inFirst, const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inSecond ) const; }; template<class traits, class Allocator> inline bool UTF8StringLess<traits, Allocator>::operator()( const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inFirst, const std::basic_string<char, traits, Allocator>& inSecond ) const { CFStringRef theFirst = ::CFStringCreateWithCString( nullptr, inFirst.c_str(), kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ); CFStringRef theSecond = ::CFStringCreateWithCString( nullptr, inSecond.c_str(), kCFStringEncodingUTF8 ); CFComparisonResult compResult = ::CFStringCompare( theFirst, theSecond, kCFCompareCaseInsensitive ); bool isLess = (compResult == kCFCompareLessThan); ::CFRelease( theFirst ); ::CFRelease( theSecond ); return isLess; } int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { std::vector<std::string> names{ "obey", "Zorro", "can" }; std::sort( names.begin(), names.end(), UTF8StringLess() ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }

Xcode won't sign into ChatGPT Codex account anymore
As of May 8th, 2026, after I upgraded to "codex-cli 0.129.0" via Xcode, I can no longer sign into my ChatGPT account in Xcode Intelligence Settings. The Log In window is always successful, but the settings never update to show the login being successful. It's a constant loop. Perhaps a hand-shake fail. Versions: Tahoe 26.3.1, Xcode 26.4.1, codex-cli 0.129.0.

Previews for SwiftUI views in Packages don't work in Xcode 26.4
I have an iOS project based on SwiftUI in which almost all code is organised in Packages. With Xcode 26.2 and 26.3, I can preview all SwiftUI views without issues. With Xcode 26.4, the same previews don't work, in the canvas appears this error message: "Cannot preview in this file. Could not find target description for “TaskListView.swift”". The explanation is: "The list of source files that produce object files did not contain this file to be previewed. Check to make sure it is not excluded using the EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES build setting." If I add a SwiftUI view to the main project files (not in a package), the preview works as expected. Is it an Xcode 26.4 regression? Or do I need to modify some configuration file?

something that's probably easy to fix but it's driving me crazy
hy! apple developer community! No, I have a problem that's driving me crazy: Multiple commands produce '/Users/giulia/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ScheduledStudy-dcmmhcdncitvfkdditbjoipfalqg/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/singintestwidgetExtension.appex/Info.plist'. Can you help me fix it? I know it's probably stupid, but I've been trying to fix it for days. There aren't two info.plist file, and that's why I don't quite understand. If you could help me, you'd be doing me a favor. Thanks for your time. P.S. I'm sorry, but I'm just starting out with programming and I'm also quite young.

Unable to Download iOS Simulator Runtime 26.1 on Xcode — Bad URL Error (Code 49)
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to download the iOS Simulator Runtime 26.1 on Xcode (version 26.1). The download always fails with the following error Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 I’m located in Brazil, so I initially thought it might be region-related, but I’ve already tried several attempts to fix it, including: Using VPNs for the US and Europe Installing the Xcode 26.2 beta Downgrading Xcode to earlier versions Reinstalling the same version of Xcode Restarting Xcode and my Mac Switching networks Clearing simulator support/device files Unfortunately, nothing has resolved the issue. Is anyone else facing this problem? Does anyone know a workaround or a manual way to download/install the iOS 26.1 simulator runtime? Thanks in advance!

Xcode 16.4 can't choose a lower version iOS simulator to debug
My Xcode version is 16.4, I have added an old version simulator (iPhone 13 with iOS 17.2) to the simulator list, but I can't use it for debugging, and all on display are iPhone 16 with 18.6 (the latest iOS devices). The setting "Minimum Deployments" for my App is 16.6. In addition, when I downloaded an iOS 16.0 version simulator, Xcode automatically added all iPhone 15 models of the simulator, but I still can't use them. In short, I can only use the default iPhone 16 simulators. So, if I want to debug my App using iPhone 13 (iOS 17.2), what should I do? Thank you for your reply. :) Another small issue, my App's destination has been set to support only iPhone, why are those iPad simulators still appearing?

Xcode 14.0.1 does not have support for iPhone 13 Mini in interface builder
With Xcode 14, the device selection on the bottom of the storyboard canvas has changed, and the iPhone 12 and 13 mini screens are no longer there, as well as there only being one model of iPad. Is there a way to add more devices to this section? I have simulators installed for these devices, and this is the way I've been checking compatibility so far, but this is not sustainable. I appreciate any help that you can give me.

Xcode 16.4 can't choose a lower version iOS simulator to debug
My Xcode version is 16.4, I have added an old version simulator (iPhone 13 with iOS 17.2) to the simulator list, but I can't use it for debugging, and all on display are iPhone 16 with 18.6 (the latest iOS devices). The setting "Minimum Deployments" for my App is 16.6. In addition, when I downloaded an iOS 16.0 version simulator, Xcode automatically added all iPhone 15 models of the simulator, but I still can't use them. In short, I can only use the default iPhone 16 simulators. So, if I want to debug my App using iPhone 13 (iOS 17.2), what should I do? Thank you for your reply. :) Another small issue, my App's destination has been set to support only iPhone, why are those iPad simulators still appearing?

Shared Library constructor in XCode 16.4 and 26 linker/runtime
GCC's shared library constructor technique has ceased working with the tool chain provided with XCode 16.4 and XCode 26. This is the GCC attribute: __attribute__((constructor)) Example use: void aConstructor(void) __attribute__((constructor)); void aConstructor(void) { printf("Called aConstructor\n"); } In our case aConstructor() was not called.

Incorrect transitionFlipFromRight animations on iOS 26.1
On devices and simulators with iOS 26.1, the animation does not work correctly (the initial and final screens are distorted). I use open class func transition(with view: UIView, duration: TimeInterval, options: UIView.AnimationOptions = [], animations: (() -> Void)?, completion: ((Bool) -> Void)? = nil) with options: .transitionFlipFromRight

Xcode 14.0.1 does not have support for iPhone 13 Mini in interface builder
With Xcode 14, the device selection on the bottom of the storyboard canvas has changed, and the iPhone 12 and 13 mini screens are no longer there, as well as there only being one model of iPad. Is there a way to add more devices to this section? I have simulators installed for these devices, and this is the way I've been checking compatibility so far, but this is not sustainable. I appreciate any help that you can give me.
