PhotosUI does not build with UIKit and WidgetKit in XCode26
To reproduce this bug create a new Xcode Project for IOS choose UIKit. In the app delegate add the following lines. As you can see in the above image . Line 19 with the initialization of PHPickerViewController has no compilation failure. Now lets add import WidgetKit As soon as widgetKit is imported a compiler error is thrown which is PHPickerViewController is not in scope. This worked with Xcode 16.4 It was possible to have a swift file with both WidgetKit implementations and PhotosUI implementations. This behavior has changed in Xcode 26/26.0.1 . Does anybody know why this happens , could not find any clues within the different versions of documentations. P.S Found a work around which raises further questions Adding import SwiftUI fixes this problem , I am genuinely curious on how this is happening on a compiler level.

Xcode26: download stuck on 'fetching'
I just downloaded Xcode26, and am trying to download the new simulator to be able to run and test my app. But the downloads folder just shows that it's stuck on "Fetching download information ..." even 15 minutes after it started. I tried restarting Xcode but didn't help. Internet connection is good. Any tips to get it working?

How to refresh local Swift Package after adding files in Xcode 16?
Since upgrading to Xcode 16, I've noticed that when I add new files to my local Swift packages, the "Update Package" option is no longer available when I right-click on my local package. In previous versions of Xcode, I used this feature to make Xcode recognize newly added files without any issues. Now, with Xcode 16, the only way I've found to get Xcode to recognize new files is to remove and re-add the entire package, which is obviously not ideal. I've tried cleaning the build folder and rebuilding the project, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there a new workflow or method in Xcode 16 to refresh or update local Swift packages without needing to remove and re-add them every time? Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! What I’ve tried so far: Cleaning and rebuilding the project Looking for any options under "File > Packages" menu Environment: Xcode 16 Local Swift Package Thanks in advance!

Xcode 26 doesn’t recognize ChatGPT Plus subscription and triggers free daily limit
Hi everyone, Since updating to Xcode 26, I’ve been running into an issue with the new ChatGPT integration inside Xcode. Even though I have an active ChatGPT Plus subscription (GPT-4 or GPT-5) and I’m signed in to my OpenAI account, Xcode doesn’t seem to recognize my paid plan. After reaching the free usage limit, I get the following message: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account or upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.” The issue is that I am already logged in with my ChatGPT Plus account, and everything works fine on the ChatGPT web app — but inside Xcode, it keeps treating me as a free user. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • Signing out and back into ChatGPT from within Xcode • Restarting Xcode and macOS • Verifying that I’m logged in to ChatGPT in Safari • Updating both macOS and Xcode to the latest versions None of these steps have resolved the issue. It seems like Xcode isn’t syncing properly with OpenAI authentication, and therefore it applies the free-tier limits even for paid accounts. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there any way to force Xcode to reauthenticate with OpenAI or link it properly to a ChatGPT Plus account? System setup: • Mac mini (Apple M2, 16 GB RAM) • macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 • Xcode Version 26.0.1 (17A400) Here’s the error message I’m seeing:

Existing Project Not Showing Installed iOS 26 Simulator (New Projects Work Fine)
Hello everyone, I'm encountering a frustrating issue with Xcode 26 and the iOS Simulator selection, and I'd appreciate any insight from the community. Problem Overview I have updated my Xcode to version 26.0. I have successfully installed the iOS 26 SDK and the iOS 26 Simulator runtime via Xcode's component settings. However, when I open an older, existing project, the device selection dropdown menu does not list the iOS 26 simulator. I can only select older versions, such as my locally installed iOS 18.6 simulator. Key Finding (Diagnosis) New Project Test: When I create a brand new Xcode project, the iOS 26 simulator is correctly available and runs as expected. Conclusion: This strongly suggests the issue lies with a specific configuration setting in the existing (old) project, rather than the Xcode installation itself. Troubleshooting Steps Taken I suspect a project-level configuration is somehow blocking the display of the new simulator. I've already checked: General -> Deployment Target: This is set to an older version, but theoretically shouldn't hide the simulator list. Build Settings -> Base SDK: This is set to the latest iOS SDK. Has anyone else experienced this behavior when upgrading projects to support iOS 26? What specific configuration files (e.g., .xcodeproj settings, Podfile configurations, or specific Build Settings) should I check to ensure my old project properly recognizes and displays the newly installed iOS 26 simulator? Any pointers or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Why is Xcode so slow and bad?
I just want to rant why is Xcode such a bad ide and I wish Apple can do a better job on Xcode. Here's why: The preview is so slow. Most of the times it's just faster for me to test on a real device. It is so slow, and many times I need to force quite after it's being unresponsive for sometimes. When I'm working on larger projects, the loading time becomes extremely slow especially when there's other clients that might be reading the same files like a Git client or simply iCloud. The breakpoint is so slow. I don't know why, is it an iOS thing? But when I'm on ASP.Net the breakpoints are super fast. For Xcode it takes a long time to pause and show data. It's so big I don't know why it is so hard for Apple to make their ide better. The community has been unsatisfied with Xcode for a long time. There's many tricks on the internet that you can find to help you resolve some issues with your project that's actually related to Xcode. Instead of using these tricks, Apple should just fix these issues. Learn from Intellij!

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?

Xcode 16 Doesn't Display "Swift Compiler" Build Settings Sections
I am editing my iOS project in Xcode 16 and want to use the "Swift Compiler - Upcoming Features" section of the build settings to selectively enable the new Swift 6 language features. I have read the instructions for doing this and have dowloaded an Apple sample project and can see that section under the project and target-level Build Settings in the sample project However, when I open my Xcode project in XCode 16 that section does not appear. Is there any way for me to influence how Xcode 16 displays the build settings? In fact, no "Swift Compiler" sections appear at all under my project Build Settings (All | Combined). There is a "User-Defined" section that has the Swift Version, Compilation Mode and Optimization level. The project itself is several years old and was on a very old project version. I have upgraded my project document format to "Xcode 16" but it made no difference. I have compared my project and the sample project in a text editor and both seem to have similar structure. I tried removing unused and outdated settings from my project but that also had no effect. Is there an alternative to deleting my project file and adding the source files to it? I have a large project with multiple targets so that would be something I'd rather not do.

Compiling Swift Package with Dependency on Build Tool Plugin Fails in Xcode 26
Hi, in our Xcode project we have a Tooling package, which defines build tool plugins for generating compile time safe constants for our localization strings as well as assets using swiftgen. This is working very well in Xcode 16, but fails in Xcode 26 beta 1 and beta 2 as well. The failure is specifically: unsupported configuration: the aggregate target 'Localization' has package dependencies, but targets that build for different platforms depend on it. I've reduced this to a minimal sample project, which you can find here.. To reproduce: Open the Repro workspace, that is attached in Xcode. Try to build TestyPackage. You'll see the error. I've filed this bug during WWDC week, but no feedback yet and no solution in Xcode 26 beta 2. Here's the feedback number, in case you have this too and want to file a duplicate: FB17934050. Does anyone else have this issue and perhaps a solution?

Open app review crashlog .txt file in Xcode 13
Got emailed three .txt crash files. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Xcode to do something with them. Tried: renaming .txt to .crash Dropping onto "devices and simulators" window Dropping on to "devices and simulators > select device > View device logs" "Download debug symbols" for the archive in Xcode (says "dowloaded debug symbols" so did it) ... and many other things Xcode 13 simply refuses to respond to the drag-and-drop of the file no matter the file extension and no matter where in Xcode's various windows/tools I drop it. Has anyone done this with a crash .txt file from app review and Xcode 13?

Previews stopped working in Xcode 16.3 with baffling error message
Upgrading to Xcode 16.3, all previews across my AppKit project stopped working. The error message I'm getting is especially baffling. It says the project could not be built with incremental compilation because SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE is set to "incremental": I tried clearing DerivedData with no effect. When I click the diagnostics button the information given is not very revealing, at least not to me. If I open the project in Xcode 16.2 everything works perfectly again. I switched over to Previews for all new code but this error situation is quite demotivating. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Xcode26 doesn't install
I have Xcode 16.4 and want to upgrade to Xcode26 on a MacBookPro with Intel and macOS 26.0. However I keep getting the error message (in German), that the download of the App is not possible, Xcode could not be installed and I should try later. I tried to restart the Mac, close all Apps etc. I tried it meanwhile several times, but still no success. Any Idea what I could try or do to solve the problem? Thx in advance

Issues updating to Xcode 26 -- can no longer successfully build project
I recently updated to macOS sequoia 15.6 Afterward, I updated to Xcode 26 The project I've been running for the last couple years no longer compiles on existing simulators and doesn't build to a physical device. I'm getting an error I'm not familiar with and have no idea how to directly resolve it: The specific error is 'Command SwiftGeneratePch failed with a nonzero exit code' Looking up this issue via Google, there wasn't really a lot of information on this particular build failure. Most suggestions were to change the location of the Derived Data folder (Xcode -> File -> Project Settings -> update location of derived data from default to relative) This was one of the only actionable solutions I found online but this doesn't fully address the issue for me, it just creates a new issue: "Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code" I feel like with enough digging around I should be able to find a solution to the "PhaseScriptExecution" issue; there seems to be a decent amount of information online about that particular problem. I would prefer if I could solve the original 'SwiftGeneratePch" failure without needing to address other issues, though. Is this possible?

Xcode 26, Pull Requests support
Does anyone have problems with the Pull Request functionality in Xcode 26 RC? I can’t create a new pull request inside Xcode (it always redirects me to the web page). I can’t see changes within an existing pull request (I only see the PR name; I can’t even approve it or request changes). I’ve had this problem since beta 1 of Xcode 26. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Failed to find a DDI
Hello! When launching/debugging on my iPad and iPhone I keep getting the following error: “Previous preparation error: Failed to find a DDI … Run ‘devicectl list preferredDDI’ …” I believe this was caused by a previously interrupted Xcode update around June due to low disk space, which may have left DeviceSupport/DDI/CoreDevice files incomplete. Even after finishing the update later, the error persists. I now use a new Mac with 4 TB of storage, but the issue still occurs. Since then I have unfortunately been blocked from testing or presenting my app on devices. It seems that only a new, fully completed Xcode update might resolve the problem. Tried so far: – Cleared caches (CoreDevice/Devices) – Reset trust on device and re-paired – Checked devicectl list preferredDDI I would really appreciate guidance, as at the moment I cannot present my app due to this blocking issue. Thank you very much for your support!
