Xcode Cloud builds are running very long, trying to launch simulator
We have a simple workflow that just runs the Test action on my unit_tests scheme (see Xcode Cloud workflow configuration screenshot). The workflow is configured to use Xcode 16.4 (Latest Release), macOS Sequoia 15.6 (Latest Release), and iOS 18.0 simulators. Today, this workflow has been consistently running indefinitely. The Xcode cloud runner tries to launch the simulator to execute the tests, but it fails. See the error message in the screenshot from Xcode Cloud logs. Link to corresponding build is in my Feedback Assistant ticket. It continues to retry this operation for a very long time — I had one job that ran for over 90 minutes. Link to corresponding build also in that same Feedback Assistant ticket. Are Xcode Cloud runners perhaps currently undergoing maintenance? Or is something else going on. I would appreciate if Xcode Cloud usage from today could be refunded to my team’s account. Feedback Assistant ticket #FB20195292. Error message: MyApp encountered an error (Failed to prepare device 'iPhone 16' for impending launch. (Underlying Error: Unable to boot the Simulator. launchd failed to respond. (Underlying Error: Failed to start launchd_sim: could not bind to session, launchd_sim may have crashed or quit responding)))

How to renew my annual membership (Apple Developer program)
My membership expires in 10 days and I'm trying to find out how I can renew it.According to Applet:"You can renew starting 30 days before the expiration date of your existing membership or any time after it expires. Your expiration date is available in your account on the developer website. To renew, sign in to your account with the Apple ID you used to enroll, and click the "Renew Now” button. If your membership is still active when you renew, your new membership will activate as soon as your current membership expires and you will receive two (2) new TSIs."So, I sign in to my account with the Apple ID I used to enroll and I can't see the "Reset Now" button anywyere.All I can see is the "Overview", "Membership", "Certificates, IDs & Profiles", "iTunes Connect", "CloudKit Dashboard" and "Code-Level Support" under the "Programs Resources" section, on the left, and the "Documentation", "Forums", "Bug Reporter" and "News & Updates" under the "Additional Resources" section, again on the left.I went to each and every of these and there is no "Renew Now" button anywhere.Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed:
Hi there, I uploaded an update bundle for the posted app, but I got a rejection message. ITMS-90048: This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: [._Symbols] The XCode version I'm using is 16.2, and I've been trying to find a route using Run Script and Finder, but I don't know what the hell it is about. Does anybody know what could cause this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Xcode Cloud: The page you’re looking for can’t be found.
We started seeing an access issue today when attempting to go to the Xcode Cloud tab in App Store Connect. When you navigate to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/:teamId/apps/:appId/ci we're seeing the following message: The page you’re looking for can’t be found. The page you’re looking for does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it. I am the account holder so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Is there an ongoing outage or problem in Xcode Cloud? And, if so, where can I monitor this accurately?

I uploaded the app to TestFlight, but the new version doesn’t appear in the TestFlight app.
Hello, I uploaded a new build to TestFlight, and it has been about an hour since the processing was completed. However, the update is still not showing up in the TestFlight app. From my experience, the update usually appears within 10 to 30 minutes, but this time it is taking unusually long. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar issue and found a solution. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Xcode seems not compatible with the ssh key RSA-SHA2 while trying to git clone from Azure
Since a few days, I'm trying to fetch our private SPM repo hosted on Azure via Xcode but without success. Actually they now accept only ssh key RSA-SHA2-256 or RSA-SHA2-512. So I created a new SSH key, but it seems the problem persists when I try to fetch spm repo or git clone via xcode: "You’re using ssh-rsa that is about to be deprecated and your request has been blocked intentionally. Any SSH session using SSH-RSA is subject to brown out (failure during random time periods). Please use rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512 instead. For more details see aka.ms/ado-ssh-rsa-deprecation. remote: ERROR_SSH_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER (7) (-20)" Even so I'm choosing the good new ssh key, it seems Xcode is sending wrong information about the new generated ssh key. Anyone is experiencing the same here?

Error downloading the Predictive Code Completion Model
Hi, I'm setting up Xcode and after updating MacOS to 15.2 and Xcode to 16.2, I cannot download the Predictive Code Completion Model. I've done some research and I haven't found any solution, specially since most people suggest that it randomly fixed itself, which for me hasn't been the case. I've tried restarting my Mac, uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode multiple times, I've also reinstalled MacOS from Recovery and haven't found any success (I'm also not running Xcode inside a VM, as I've seen this can cause some problems in this case). This is the error that I receive when I attempt to download the model: And here are the details: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDELanguageModelKit.IDEModelDownloadAdapter.(unknown context at $11eba9a90).DownloadError error 3.) Domain: IDELanguageModelKit.IDEModelDownloadAdapter.(unknown context at $11eba9a90).DownloadError Code: 3 User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2024-12-26 23:09:25 +0000"; } -- There was an error processing the asset.

Failed to prepare device
We are getting unreliable results on XCode Cloud tests. I'm not sure if it's related to the current service outage. I'm running a very simple XCTest UI suite, on some devices it succeds and it others it fails to start. I'm not getting a userful error message. MyApp-Runner encountered an error (Failed to prepare device 'iPhone 16 Pro Max' for impending launch. (Underlying Error: Unable to boot the Simulator. launchd failed to respond. (Underlying Error: Failed to start launchd_sim: could not bind to session, launchd_sim may have crashed or quit responding)))

Files app in iOS 18 beta simulator is read-only
The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to: create folders copy files into it by dragging them from macOS safe files from safari I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet. The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison. My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5. To reproduce: New folder Launch Files app in iOS simulator Tap into "On my phone" From the top menu tap "New Folder" (nothing happens) Download a file Launch safari Find a file like a PDF to download Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom The "Save" button is grayed out. Copy from macOS Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator the sheet appears with the filename in the text field The "Save" button is grayed out

Swift Playgrounds Incompatibility with Xcode 16 Files and Swift Versions
I'm facing an issue with Swift Playgrounds and files created in Xcode 16. It seems that Swift Playgrounds does not support Swift 6, but even when I create files specifically with Swift 5, Swift Playgrounds still reports that the files are unsupported. This creates a significant problem because macOS Sequoia does not allow me to revert to Xcode 15, which might have offered better compatibility. As it stands, I can't find a solution to work seamlessly between Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any workarounds or updates planned to address this compatibility gap? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Xcode 26.0 beta: Double-click in Navigator Doesn’t Open File in New Tab
Issue Report — Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e) In Xcode 26.0 beta, double-clicking a file in the project navigator does not open it in a new tab as it normally should. Instead, it opens the file in the current editor window. Interestingly, Option-clicking a file still opens it in a new tab as expected. I’ve confirmed that my Navigation preferences are properly set (see the attached screenshot), so this seems like a possible regression or bug in the current beta version.
