the Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a), I want to know how to setup a directory in Xcode project when develop the iOS app. Here is the whole thing: I start a new iOS App project "test_path". then I right click, and choose "New Folder", to make a new folder "configx" then I right click on the configx folder, and choose the "add files to test_path", add a file in it But the folder does not exist in the project when try to access by "Bundle.main.urls" func. 5. when ls in the Mac, /data/Containers/Bundle/Application/E4F11903-3FAD-467F-A4CD-60AC68D64934/test_path.app, the file just at the root path of test_path.app, no "configx" folder ahead the file. so, how to setup a directory or a path in iOS project?

I’ve been running into an annoying issue for a while now and wondering if anyone else can confirm or suggest a fix. When Xcode hits a breakpoint (i.e., the app is paused), I often need to copy some text from the source code using cmd+C — for example, to paste into the debugger and inspect a variable or object. However, most of the time, the copy operation fails and nothing ends up on the clipboard. I have to repeat the copy action multiple times before it works. This doesn’t happen 100% of the time, but it’s frequent — maybe around 7 out of 10 attempts fail. I’ve been noticing this behavior since around Xcode 15. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known workaround or fix?

HiSuppose i made a macOS App and want to connect to Oracle or mySQL Database I heard best way is using JSON which i dontknow anything about it, where can I find good reading about it thats specifically related to macOS or iOS Apps ?--Kindest Regards

why my Xcode organizer can not show Hangs

Mixed development of OC and Swift in XCode. When I modify the swift file, the entire project will recompile instead of incrementally compiling.

We're building an SDK (let's call it MyFramework) which is distributed as an .xcframework for developers to integrate it into their own apps. Recently, we've added tvOS support by adding it as a supported destination for the SDK. Essentially, the SDK became a cross-platform framework and easy to be adopted in both iOS and tvOS apps. The .xcframework is generated fine, all builds correctly. We've tested the SDK integrated in test apps. We've also submitted an iOS archive app to the AppStore connect, just to make sure all is well with the AppStore submission. However, when I tried submitting a tvOS archive app (that integrates the same SDK) to the AppStore connect, the build was marked as invalid binary and we've got the following error message: ITMS-90562: Invalid Bundle - One of the nested bundles is built for a platform which is different from the main bundle platform. Please make sure that all bundles have correct platform specification. First, I thought that any of the modules of the framework was not correctly configured for tvOS but that was not the case. Everything compiles ok and it runs in debug as expected. It only fails when trying to submit the tvOS app that integrates the SDK. After a lot of investigating, we realised that the reason for the AppStore submission error is because we codesign the framework. We use codesign to distribute it as cryptographically signed xcframework. codesign --timestamp -v --sign "Apple Distribution: Company (xxxxxxxxxx)" "MyFramework.xcframework" As soon as we remove the above line from our CI/CD pipeline that generates the xcframework, and submit a tvOS archive app that integrates the unsigned framework, the AppStore submission error goes away and the TestFlight build can be tested. I've also tried to just strip the _CodeSignature folder from the .xcframework package but it still fails. So the only solution currently is to not codesign the xcframework to be able to upload tvOS archive apps that integrate the SDK to the AppStore connect. However, we're still puzzled as to why only the tvOS archive app gets the invalid binary error when it integrates a signed SDK. I feel like the error message is quite misleading if we have to stop signing the SDK xcframework for it to be accepted during the AppStore submission. Anyone has any idea? Or has anyone encountered a similar issue? Thanks!

Hi, This maybe somewhat confusing, but please bear with me. I currently have an app in the App Store that supports iOS and tvOS. But the tvOS version was a separate app during the development process. I'd like to combine the iOS and tvOS app into one project so its easier to handle and keep track of internally. Can I upload the new Apple TV version to the same place where the current one is, or would I have to delete the current Apple TV version before uploading the newly combined version? I hope I made that clear enough :-) Thank you, Dan Uff

Hi everyone, I've been working on an iOS app for about a year and a half. That application comes with unit and UI automated testings. Recently I started the development of the tvOS application so I added a new target and used the same bundle id as I want to eventually share purchases. What I need I'm working on an application that uses VLC (Need to play media more exotic than MP4) through these two pods pod 'MobileVLCKit', '3.6.0' (Only for iOS) pod 'TVVLCKit', '3.6.0' (Only for tvOS) What works Compilation works fine for both targets Unit tests work fine for both targets UI tests work fine ONLY for the original iOS target What doesn't work and how it fails When I launch the UI tests for the tvOS target, the compilation succeeds, but I get an error when calling app.launch() from my XCTestCase. Failed to get launch progress for <XCUIApplicationImpl: 0x600000c61e90 abergia.com.iptv at ...AppPath...>: App installation failed: Unable to Install “...AppName...”. This app is not made for this device. This app was not built to support this device family; app is compatible with ( 1, 2 ) but this device supports ( 3 ). (Underlying Error: Unable to Install “...AppName...”. This app is not made for this device. This app was not built to support this device family; app is compatible with ( 1, 2 ) but this device supports ( 3 ). What I tried Single target - Both Pods It looks like I can 'cheat' a little the system and make the Xcode target compatible with both iOS and tvO, but when declaring both pods inside the same CocoaPod target, the installation fails as one of the library is not compatible. Use a newer version of VLC (4.0.0) Works BUT that version is way too unstable, I will eventually use it again once they fix all the issues. Different Bundle ID Changing the bundle id of the tvOS application resolves the issue BUT I really want to use the same bundle id to share the purchases. Not UI testing the tvOS version It's an option I'm starting to contemplate out of frustration but I'm sure that we have people here who can help me!

I have Xcode on my mac. I am iOS Dev. I do not know what version of Xcode was before I did next steps, but I could say that I had iOS Simulator 18.3.1. So I update my Xcode to Version 16.3 (16E140). At this version is available iOS Simulator 18.4. But from some time before Xcode separate downloading components and actual Xcode itself. So i make update and do not download latest iOS simulator. What i have: in Xcode -> Settings -> Components under " Other Installed Platforms" i have iOS 18.3.1 and 17.5 in Choose Destination dropdown menu i have nothing. And Xcode say me that i need install iOS Simulator. After some time with ChatGPT I could not do nothing from this. I try go to : Window -> Device and Simulators and here create new simulator with 18.3.1 and make it appear Always. But it didn't help. Solution I did: I download latest version 18.4 because i could not wait because i need fix bug only 1 hour shift and it was this hour so i fast download the simulator. After downloading 18.4 in Choose Destination dropdown it appears all versions of simulaors and 18.3.1 and that i created and 17.5 Question: Does Xcode force to install latest version of iOS simulator? What is the sense of this upgrade that now Xcode is updating faster because it download 8 GB not 16 if eventually I need download 8 GB again ? The new what i could do download Xcode in the evening and Simulator in the morning?

I tried dragging an apns file for a live activity into my simulator to begin a Live Activity. It didn't do anything. I didn't see it mentioned in the wwdc videos either. So I'm wondering if this experience is not yet developed, or maybe I'm doing something incorrectly?

I've recently upgraded my project from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16. Without changing any build settings or compiler flags, I noticed that the final executable size has increased significantly when building the same C++ code. Investigation: To investigate further, I compared the Link Map outputs from both versions of Xcode. One key difference I found: The symbol size for std::sort increased from 4,336 bytes (Xcode 15) to 6,084 bytes (Xcode 16) – a ~40% increase. This seems to be part of a broader trend where other standard library symbols are also taking up more space in the binary when built with Xcode 16. Questions: Has Apple Clang or libc++ in Xcode 16 changed the implementation of STL algorithms like std::sort? Are there changes in inlining, template instantiation, or debug info that could explain the increase? Is this expected behavior? If so, is there any guidance on minimizing the binary size regression?

Hi everyone, I recently built an iOS application that fetches the healthkit data with the BGProcessingTask. It is working as expected in the debug with the physical device connected but its not working in Testflight. I printed out the logs but they don't show that the background process's running. Here is my code snippet. func registerBackgroundTask() { BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: taskIdentifier, using: nil) { task in LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("registering the background task...") print("registering the background task...") self.handleBackgroundTask(task: task as! BGProcessingTask) } } func scheduleBackgroundHealthKitSync() { print("scheduling background task...") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("scheduling background task...") let request = BGProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: taskIdentifier) request.earliestBeginDate = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 60 * 1) request.requiresNetworkConnectivity = true request.requiresExternalPower = false do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) print("BGProcessingTask scheduled") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("BGProcessingTask scheduled") } catch { print("Failed to schedule task: \(error)") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Failed to schedule task: \(error)", isError: true) print(LogManager.shared.backgroundProcessLogs) } } func handleBackgroundTask(task: BGProcessingTask) { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("handleBackgroundTask triggered") print("handleBackgroundTask triggered") let dispatchGroup = DispatchGroup() dispatchGroup.enter() // Reschedule the background sync for the next time scheduleBackgroundHealthKitSync() var taskCancelled = false // Handling expiration task.expirationHandler = { taskCancelled = true LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Background task expired", isError: true) print("Background task expired") dispatchGroup.leave() } let healthKitManager = HealthKitManager.shared // Start the background sync operation healthKitManager.fetchAndSendAllTypes() { success in if success { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("HealthKit sync completed successfully") print("HealthKit sync completed successfully") } else { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("HealthKit sync failed", isError: true) print("HealthKit sync failed") } dispatchGroup.leave() } // Notify when all tasks are completed dispatchGroup.notify(queue: .main) { // Check if the task was cancelled using your own flag or state if taskCancelled { task.setTaskCompleted(success: false) // Fail the task if it was cancelled } else { task.setTaskCompleted(success: true) // Complete successfully if not cancelled } LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Background task ended with status: \(taskCancelled == false)") print("Background task completed with success: \(taskCancelled == false)") // Logs success or failure } } Here are the logs from my device. scheduling background task... BGProcessingTask scheduled

Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

I have one of our developer when he attempts to login to xcode on his macos device, he get a message that account is not found but he has an account and he logs in to app developer portal with no issue. Thanks

Build succeed,but app startup failed.

In Xcode, when you type a word like "don't", a second apostrophe is automatically inserted after the word and you have to manually delete it. Repro steps: Create a new empty Markdown file or XML file. Open the file in Xcode. Type the word “don’t”. Expected behavior: The word “don’t” appears. Observed behavior: The word “don’t” appears, followed by an extra single quote.

with the latest Xcode version, i am getting all kinds of errors: few main ones: /Users/akashbhatia/MyApp/ios/Pods/Target Support Files/ReactCodegen/ReactCodegen-prefix.pch:2:9 Could not build module 'UIKit' /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator18.4.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CFNetwork.framework/Headers/CFNetwork.h:18:10 Could not build module 'CoreFoundation' /Users/akashbhatia/MyApp/ios/Pods/Headers/Public/RCT-Folly/folly/portability/Config.h:20:10 'folly/folly-config.h' file not found I have reinstalled Xcode, removed derived data, installed pod over and over again, but I have realized from the first error here, that it has more to do with Xcode and React Native now. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I'm using XCode 16 to connect my iPhone. Recently I'm getting an error as below while connecting to Xcode to install the app Timeout while connecting to remote device. Domain: com.apple.mobiledevice Code: -402652910 User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-04-02 15:03:29 +0000"; FunctionName = "_AMDeviceCreateWithRemoteDeviceWithError"; IDERunOperationFailingWorker = IDEInstallCoreDeviceWorker; LineNumber = 334; } System Information macOS Version 15.3.2 (Build 24D81) Xcode 16.2 (23507) (Build 16C5032a) Is there any way we can connect iOS 18 devices through USB only?

I am working on an XCode project and I have some Swift functions within a helper functions file. This file has some functions declared that create 3 global variables. These global variables are then used in various views throughout the app. In the functions, there are print statements for when it catches an error. However, when I run the app and I get an error that stems from this file, there are no print statements. How can I have this print statements show up in the debug console?
