Cannot debug app-extension-safe frameworks in main app
The code in my app is split into frameworks that I can use both from my main app and its app extensions. In order to use the frameworks inside the app extension, I need to build them with the Xcode build setting Require Only App-Extension-Safe API set to Yes. When I do that, debugging framework code in my main app no longer works properly. I can set a breakpoint, but any attempt to print a value via p or po will give a set of errors like the following: error: module file /Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/...-daqfgouagvlkudfebrmzrurogmld/Build/Intermediates.noindex/SwiftExplicitPrecompiledModules/_errno-B8I5WSZMM09RXHYLYEWSC1BLE.pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation error: Objective-C App Extension was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled How do I fix this?

Error recording of CPU Profiler in CLI: [Error] Failed to start the recording: Failed to force all hardware CPU counters: 13.
Context I created a short script to CPU profile a program from the command line. I am able to record via the Instruments app, but when I try from the command line I get the following error shown below. This example is just profiling the grep command. Error: % cpu_profile /usr/bin/grep \ --recursive "Brendan Gregg" \ "$(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk" Profiling /usr/bin/grep into /tmp/cpu_profile_grep.trace Starting recording with the CPU Profiler template. Launching process: grep. Ctrl-C to stop the recording Run issues were detected (trace is still ready to be viewed): * [Error] Failed to start the recording: Failed to force all hardware CPU counters: 13. Recording failed with errors. Saving output file... Script: #!/bin/sh set -o errexit set -o nounset if [ "$#" -lt 1 ] then echo "Usage $0 <program> [arguments...]" 1>&2 exit 1 fi PROGRAM="$(realpath "$1")" shift OUTPUT="/tmp/cpu_profile_$(basename "$PROGRAM").trace" echo "Profiling $PROGRAM into $OUTPUT" 1>&2 # Delete potential previous traces rm -rf "$OUTPUT" xcrun xctrace record \ --template 'CPU Profiler' \ --no-prompt \ --output "$OUTPUT" \ --target-stdout - \ --launch -- "$PROGRAM" "$@" open "$OUTPUT" I think the error has to do with xctrace based on this post, but according to this post it should have been resolved in MacOS version 15.4.

CMMovemnt Disorder Library
Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary (looking for configuration named "Default Configuration") {"msg":"Usage of CMMovementDisorderManager requires a special entitlement.

I have the entitlement, I sent the request yesterday. I have added in Info.plist Privacy - Motion Usage Description message. But nothing changes. It always crashes . Added also everything to Entitlements File to watch. It crashes on private let manager = CMMovementDisorderManager()

CoreML memory allocation logic
hello, I got a question about coreml. I loaded the coreml model in the project and set the computing unit to CPU+GPU. When I used instruments to analyze the performance, I found that there was an overhead of prepare gpu request before each inference. I also checked the freezing point graph and found that memory was frequently allocated. Is this as expected? Is there any way to avoid frequent prepares? I have tried some methods, such as memory sharing of predict interface input parameters, but it seems to be ineffective.

In-app purchases fetching issue
I am trying to add in-app purchases to my app. I created a StoreKit Configuration file and checked the option 'Sync this file with an app in App Store Connect' because I have already completed the subscription setup in my Apple Developer account. I also tried implementing the in-app purchases directly without using the StoreKit Configuration file, but I’m getting an 'Invalid Product Identifiers' error. I’ve double-checked, and the product ID matches the one listed in my Apple account. Please guide me on what I should do.

Apple Developer Program Renewal Issue
Dear Apple, I had successfully renew my membership with bellow email "Your Apple Developer Program membership has been renewed for another year and your membership details are below. We look forward to the innovative new apps you'll bring to Apple platforms."

Unable to send iMessage game extension on simulator
I recently started building an iMessage game, and whenever I try to send the game through the first contact on the simulator to loop back into the second one, I get an alert saying "Unable to send. The recipient can not receive this item via satellite". Has anyone experienced this? If so, do you have a solution? It is making it a bit difficult to test the flow of my app.

Playground with a Logger - Error: Couldn't look up symbols: __dso_handle
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

app not playing audio when not in focus
My app works fine when I load it directly from Xcode to my phone via USB but once I load it to TestFlight the sounds no longer play when the app is not in focus or the phone is locked. I've tried every combination of tools available from the support group and from AI! And I'm out of ideas.

How do I stop a Playground in Xcode 26 from constantly executing as I type
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?

Support when publishing App Store App.
I am a new app developer and am entirely new to the process of developing and publishing an app. Right now I am in the midst of publishing my app and have bumped into an issue which app store connect isn't really helping to answer. I was wondering if I could get help here for these issues. Have a countdown feature that works based on device id. The device id and all others go through but the countdown feature doesn't show up. This is an issue that only seems to occur on the App Review's ipad air (5th gen) iPadOS 18.5. I have tested the app on my iphone 14,ipad mini and ipad pro with no issues. I'm not sure how I am supposed to solve an issue which I am unable to recreate. (I have told Apple Review to try reloading the page or resubmitting the dates required for the countdown. They claimed to have resubmitted the dates but have mentioned nothing about reloading the page.) Currently, I am trying to find a way to work the app on the ipad air but if i am unable to recreate the issue,I'm not sure how to solve it. please help!

Cannot get Instruments to profile my apps
Hi, I need help to get Instruments running to profile my application. I tried to profile my main app (Qt-5.15-Framework, c++, Intel-arch only) from Xcode. My app starts and Instruments runs time profiler or Leaks for about 15 seconds and the quits. No crash, no message nothing. This has been happening for a while on my Mac Studio M1 Max running macOS 14.7.6 and Xcode 15.4 IDE with a toolchain from Xcode 14.3 for the qmake (qt) project. However, this also happens if i set up a new vanilla Swift UI project from scratch wihtout any Qt stuff. In addition to the Mac Studio I also have Mac Book Pro M4 running macOS 15.5 and Xcode 16.4. On that machine I get the same results, no matter if I try Instruments on my qt project or a vanilla SwiftUI project. Also it does not make a difference if I change the toolchain with: sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_143.app or sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_164.app. Same results in either case. I also tried switching to Debug build in the editing the scheme for profiling, but got no better results. I also tried to lauch Instruments from Xcode using the Open Developer Tool menu entry, but got no better results. When I start Instruments first, run my program in Xcode and attach to it, I get the same results. Do you have any advice what to check for or to setup, maybe in signing or such? I am probably missing something basic. Thanks in advance

Incorrect Syntax Color for Raw Identifiers
