My app has a Watch app companion, and a Widget. are this settings correct to distribute these to TestFlight and Apple Store ?

I have developed a Swift macro called @CodableInit in the SwiftCodableMacro module, and I’m able to use it successfully in my main project. Here’s an example usage: import SwiftCodableMacro @CodableInit // This is for Codable macros public class ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin { public var identifier: UUID = UUID() // MARK: - Codable required public init(from decoder:Decoder) throws { let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) identifier = try values.decode(UUID.self, forKey: .identifier) } } However, when I try to write a unit test for the ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin class, I encounter an issue. Here's the test case: func testCodableSubjectIdentifierShouldEqualDecodedSubjectIdentifier() { self.measure { let encoder = JSONEncoder() let data = try? encoder.encode(subject) //Here I am getting this error Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' let decoder = JSONDecoder() let decodedSubject = try? decoder.decode(ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin.self, from: data!) XCTAssertEqual(subject.identifier, decodedSubject?.identifier) } } The compiler throws an error saying: Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' Even though the @CodableInit macro is supposed to generate conformance, it seems that this macro-generated code is not visible or active inside the test target. How can I ensure that the @CodableInit macro (from SwiftCodableMacro) is correctly applied and recognized within the XCTest target of my main project?

The WatchOS developer is not allowed to obtain healthKit permission status. The result is always unauthorized (either by clicking the dot/cross in the upper left corner or by turning on all Health, on some, off all). WatchOS 开发获取 healthKit 的权限状态authorizationStatus不准。结果始终都是未授权（无论是点击左上角的点叉号还是开启全部健康项开关，开启部分，关闭所有），怎么处理？

I’m a registered iOS developer, and I’ve been facing an issue with installing iOS developer updates for the past couple of years. I can download the updates, but they get stuck at 99.9% complete and don’t finish. I’ve tried following the instructions to force restart the phone, but it stays on the Apple logo screen until it dies. I can update official iOS versions, but not beta versions. To update, I have to put the phone in DFU mode and install the update that way. This is frustrating and prevents me from making timely updates to my app and from diagnosing new issues during testing. I’d like to request that Apple investigate this issue and identify a solution. For reference, I’ve installed a bare-bones version with no new apps, and the problem persists. I would like a resolution that allows me to update normally without having to DFU the phone each time. This occurs via OTA or IPSW manual download and installation. Please refer to the following FB submission numbers: FB21642029 and FB21017894. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO THIS MESSAGE AND HELP ME TROUBLESHOOT THIS ISSUE?!

So I will summary an issue one of our clients has asked us on GitHub: https://github.com/pendo-io/pendo-mobile-sdk/issues/233 Project that is a custom framework that uses different SPM packages (one of them is Binary package), we have our main logic inside that framework and we have different targets that use this framework, everything works on the simulator, but running the app on the actual device provokes a crash saying "Binary framework was not found". We have like 20 other SPM packages that work fine, this is the first one we have an issue with. Please note I understand that SPM will not copy paste the Binary for the magic framework as it does for the apps so I suggested to embed it manually. So my question is what the best(easy) way to do it. Please refer to the following issue for more details: https://github.com/pendo-io/pendo-mobile-sdk/issues/233

In our Unity App for iOS build, when we opened the PDF from the app, it is automatically opening in landspace mode instead of portrait. In the android and windows apps, we are able to open in the portrait mode. We tried to make the changes in the project settings but it did not change. Any way in which we can acheive this would be helpful for us.

開発アプリで通知確認を行うため、UDIDをプロビジョニングプロファイルに追加する必要があります。 iPhoneのUDIDは取得することができたのですが、AppleWatchのUDIDを取得する方法が分かりません。 Xcodeと接続してUDIDを取得しようとしましたが、iPhoneのみ認識がされAppleWatchが認識されていません。 AppleWatchもデベロッパモードをONしなければならないとAppleから返答をもらったが、その方法がわからないのでどなたかご教授お願い致します。

I have been working on battery consumption analysis for my application, and as part of this effort, I wanted to understand how competitor apps behave under similar usage conditions. To do this, I downloaded competitor apps from the App Store and attached them to Instruments via Xcode. I then executed a defined set of manual test scenarios to simulate real user behavior. During these tests, the iPhone was connected to a Mac and charging continuously, which meant that System Power Usage logs were not generated in Instruments. However, I was able to capture detailed metrics such as: Network usage CPU load GPU activity Display and brightness impact Other runtime performance characteristics Since direct battery drain data was unavailable, I used derived analysis (with AI assistance) to estimate approximate power consumption based on the above metrics, assuming real-device (battery-powered) conditions. According to Apple documentation, System Power Usage in Instruments is not directly tied to the device’s battery percentage. Instead, it appears to be computed using contributing factors such as CPU, network, display, and other subsystem activity. This raises a few important questions about data reliability and methodology. Key questions: How reliable are Instruments-based metrics (CPU, network, display, GPU) for estimating real-world battery consumption when the device is charging? Can these metrics be safely used as a comparative baseline between competitor applications, even if absolute battery drain values are unavailable? Is the System Power Usage instrument essentially a derived model based on subsystem activity, and if so, does it remain accurate when the device is not discharging? From Apple’s perspective, is this a valid approach for relative power comparison, provided that: The same device is used OS version is identical Test scenarios are consistent and repeatable Based on these findings, would it be reasonable to proceed with instrumenting our own application, run the same scenarios, and draw conclusions using relative comparisons rather than absolute battery percentages? The intent is not to claim exact battery drain numbers, but to establish a directionally correct and repeatable comparison that can guide performance optimizations in our own application. I would like to understand whether this methodology aligns with Apple’s recommended practices, or if there are limitations or inaccuracies I should be aware of before relying on these results for decision-making.

I know there has been issues with SFSpeechRecognizer in iOS 17+ inside the simulator. Running into issues with speech not being recognised inside the visionOS 2.4 simulator as well (likely because it borrows from iOS frameworks). Just wondering if anyone has any work arounds or advice for this simulator issue. I can't test on device because I don't have an Apple Vision Pro. Using Swift 6 on Xcode 16.3.

I am trying to add promotional offers in my iOS App. The signature is being verified through a google cloud function. My user id, signature, and product and offerIds return perfect. Promotional offer appears in the payment sheet as well. When applying for payment, the "ding" sound comes as well. But then I get the UIAlert with Unable to Purchase Contact developer. Error code in logs is 3903

Hello. For the last few months I have been facing a situation for which I do not understand either the reason or the solution. Here is an example for the last few weeks: In App Store Connect it shows 214 crashes for the last week In Xcode it shows 56 crashes for the last 2 weeks without stack traces (NO_CRASH_STACK) In Firebase Crashlytics there is not a single crash. When I click "Show in Finder" it opens a folder with .xccrashpoint files. As far as I understood from the instructions on posting crash reports - this is not what is needed. Interesting point: it looks like the errors occur on iOS 15-16 devices. I have several questions: Why is the number of crashes in Xcode different from the number in App Store Connect? Where are the other crashes? How can I understand what the problem is if there are no stack traces in Xcode?

I tried using Create ML of Xcode 26.0 beta 7 to generate a model using the "Word Tagging" template, and I received the error: Training progress unavailable - Unexpected error. Using Create ML of XCode 16.4 with the same documentation, I was able to build the model and use it in a test app. I'd like to understand why Create ML of Xcode 26 no longer works.

Hi I developed an iPhone app but now I want to release the same app for iPad and Mac (Design for iPad). I made the changes below but I still not been able to install the app on my Mac. It says the app is incompatible but my Mac is MacBook Pro M2 which fills the requirements to install it. Things I did so my iPhone app could have support for iPad and Mac Added iPad and Mac (Designed for iPad) for the supported destinations Change the Status Bar Style to Require full screen Changed iOS minimum Deployments iOS to 17.6 Updated the launch screen logo so stays in the middle Xcode version 16.2 See the sccreenshots of the Xcode configuration and of the TestFlight on my MacBook Pro M2 Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks.

Hi, I'm generating MusicKit JWT tokens on my backend side and using it on the client side to query the Apple Music API. One concern I have is accidentally over issuing the scope of this JWT, resulting in accidental access more services than intended like DeviceCheck or APNS. Other than using separate keys for MusicKit and other services, is there a way to limit the generated JWT to only the Apple Music API (https://api.music.apple.com/v1/*) using the JWT payload scope?

I have a couple apps in one git repository. I'd like to have a Swift package in that repo as well, shared by apps. In other words, I don't want a separate repo for the Swift package. I followed the instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/organizing-your-code-with-local-packages It seems to work. I can write code like this in my app: import MyLocalPackage func foo() { myLocalPackageFunc() } I notice that the package is not listed under Project > MyApp > Package Dependencies. I don't really care, as long as I can reuse code between apps. But when I try to add this package code to a 2nd app, I'm at a loss. I tried "Add Package Dependencies" and "Add Local", but that creates a different looking setup than the 1st app. The code is browsable in the project navigator. And when I try to build it says "Missing package product 'MyLocalPackage'. The documentation linked above, which I used for the 1st app, does a "New > Package". I don't want a new package. How can I connect the existing one?

I am a solo developer building a cross-platform voice assistant app using Capacitor (with HTML, JS) and Xcode for the iOS version. The app is called "Echo Eyes," and it already functions well as a Progressive Web App (PWA). However, the iOS build has been completely blocked due to persistent sandbox permission errors from macOS during the CocoaPods framework embedding phase. This issue has caused severe disruption to my project and personal well-being, and I am writing to formally request assistance in identifying a clear solution. I am not a beginner and have followed all known best practices, forums, and Apple guidance without success. What I’ve Built So Far: Fully working PWA version of the app (voice input, HTML/JS interface) Capacitor initialized with ID: com.echo.eyes.voice Capacitor iOS platform added with CocoaPods App runs fine until Xcode reaches: [CP] Embed Pods Frameworks The Exact Problem: Sandbox: bash(12319) deny(1) file-read-data /Users/Shared/projects/Echo_Mobile/ios/App/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-App/Pods-App-frameworks.sh Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code Clarification: This is not an HTML/JS issue. The failure occurs in Xcode long before web assets are embedded into the bundle. The shell script /Pods-App-frameworks.sh cannot be read due to macOS sandbox restrictions. Everything I’ve Tried: Gave Xcode and Terminal Full Disk Access Ran: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine on the entire Pods directory Added /bin/bash and /bin/sh to Full Disk Access (after confirming the exact shell via $SHELL) Attempted to disable Gatekeeper via Terminal: sudo spctl --master-disable (confirmed not effective without GUI toggle) Tried relocating project to /Users/Shared/projects/ Cleaned build folder, removed derived data, reinstalled pods Debugged shell usage with: echo "▶️ Embedding under shell: $SHELL" in the [CP] Embed Pods Frameworks script Attempted to grant shell access to Documents Folder, Desktop, and more via Files &amp; Folders Current State: Despite following all known and recommended steps, Xcode continues to return the same sandbox error. The shell script that embeds the CocoaPod frameworks is denied permission to read its own contents by macOS. What I Am Asking For: Is this a known issue in current versions of macOS or Xcode regarding sandbox denial for shell execution inside Pods? Is there a recommended method to grant /bin/bash or /bin/sh permission to read and run these scripts under Xcode without compromising system security? Is moving the project outside /Users (e.g. to /Projects) the only real workaround? Are there official Apple workarounds or entitlements available for developers encountering this? Personal Note: This issue has caused significant emotional and physical distress. I’m building this app as a personal healing tool and companion. I’ve poured months of work into this and done everything I can to follow Apple’s development guidelines. I’m not asking for hand-holding — only a clear, respectful response confirming whether this is expected behavior and what can be done to resolve it. Thank you for your time and understanding.

I am creating an xcframework for a static library for iOS, but I am encountering a perplexing issue with Xcode 16.3. When I build an xcframework using C++ in one project and import it into another project, the application runs with corrupted memory. In the framework project, I use os_unfair_lock, but when attempting to lock, the app crashes due to a state error. This suggests that memory corruption is occurring. When the xcframework is built with Xcode 16.2, a proper binary is generated, and the app runs without any problems. Since I do not want to disclose the source code, I am trying to construct a minimal project that reproduces the issue, but so far I have not been successful. Fundamentally, I feel that the compiler in Xcode 16.3 cannot be trusted.

iphone 15 pro max ios 26 Stuck at the developer mode startup interface and unable to swipe up.

After developing the IOS app using XCode, I https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list Created Identifiers (HanBaoAI) and locally created Certificate SigningRequest.certSigningRequest https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list Created Certificates (Expiry Date 2026/04/21) and also created profiles (HanBaoAI, Expires 2026/04/21), and then https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps I created an app (HanBaoAI) and uploaded it to the official website using Product Archive in xcode. The upload was successful, but the official website's testflight showed 1 (processing). When I refreshed the page, there was no information in testflight. May I ask what the reason is? How to solve it? Please provide complete and detailed solution steps.
