My project is using Fastlane 2.226.0. After converted groups to folders on XCode 16, I got an error when executed below function in Fastfile:
get_version_number(xcodeproj: "MyProject.xcodeproj", target: "MyProject")
Below is the error message output after I ran fastlane:
Unable to find XCode build setting: MARKETING_VERSION

I'm trying to improve my build time on macOS by not building for x86_64. I've got the following settings:
This gets Xcode not to build x86_64 for my app, but not all the package dependencies.
I've updated most of the packages to swift-tools-version: 6.0 but FlatBuffers is still on 5.8 and .macOS(.v10_14). GPT claims:
If your deployment target is set to macOS 10.15 or earlier, Xcode may force x86_64 support for compatibility reasons.
But Xcode is building x86_64 for ALL my packages, even the ones that don't depend on FlatBuffers.
When I open a package in Xcode that depends on FlatBuffers, then it builds arm only, so that may be a red herring.
Not sure what else to try.
Hi, I'm encountering an issue with the .symbols files when building iOS and generating ipa file with Xcode 15.4 vs Xcode 16.1.
I built my iOS project and generated an ipa file using Xcode 15.4. After I unzipped the ipa, there are around 10 .symbols files in the Symbols folder. One of them is about 20MB and others are under 1MB.
However, when I built and generated the ipa with the newer Xcode 16.1, after unzip, there are no .symbols files in the Symbols folder.
Could anyone explain why this happened? Is there a new setting or behavior in Xcode 16.1 that affects the generation of .symbols files?
I think the .symbols files are needed for analyzing crash reports and symbolication, and I’m unsure why they aren’t present in the build generated with Xcode 16.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I have an AppleTV app which I released in 2016. I've updated it and released a new version every year without much hassle.
This year, with tvOS 17.2, the layered app icon isn't working right. This is a two-layer image made with PNGs.
When it's selected, it looks right and the layers move correctly:
But when it's not selected, the background layer disappears:
Screenshots are from the simulator but it also happens on the device. It's inconsistent; sometimes it's the front layer that disappears. Occasionally both layers work, but I can't tell why.
I've spent a day trying everything. Very frustrated.
The icon previews correctly in Xcode and in Parallax Viewer.
The image sizes are correct: 400 x 240 for Small, 800 x 480 for Small@2x, 1280 x 768 for Large.
The back layer is a non-transparent PNG.
I tried adding a Large@2x set. Didn't help.
Originally I had a three-layer image with no middle layer PNG. I deleted the empty middle layer, but that didn't help.
All the PNG files are from GnuIMP. Same color space, even.
I was using the filenames tvicon-back-s.png and tvicon-back-s@2x.png. I tried taking out the @ sign in case that was confusing Xcode. (It never has before, but I am flailing here.)
Anybody have any clues? If it's an Apple bug and there's nothing I can do, I'm going to just push the release button and hope it fixes itself someday.
I have a swift project with a Watch companion.
Since the update of Xcode in 16.3 version after updating MAcOs , Watch OS, iOS to the latest version . It is quasi impossible for me to make Xcode work with my series 10 Watch. I have a lot of alert box, messages in the "device & Simulator" tool like this
Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.; Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters.
And many message telling me that Xcode is preparing the Watch , then that it has lost the connexion.
I have to wait some minutes after EACH run of the App to test it again. This is very annoying .
Some of the alerts I have :
And the best to know , is that I can run the APP outside of Xcode , it works, Connects to the iPhone, fetch data and so. the iPhone sees the Watch without and problem.
Reboots can solve for a few minutes the problem. But that is not a solution.

I can't get my app's logo to show in the "About" box nor in the app switcher.
I have:
created "Assets.xcassets"
created "AppIcon"
added 10 image files of the logo to the AppIcon image well [? right terminology ?]
saved and built the project – there are no errors or warnings
When I run the project, I still get the default image showing in the About box and in the app switcher.
Because first attempt failed, I changed "applet" to "AppIcon" in "App Icons and Launch Screen" in "General" settings. That did not change the result. I also toggled "Include all app icon assets" which also did not change the result.
Weirdly, my app's logo DOES show beside the app name in every item of "Build Settings".
Do I need to do something else to change the default image in the "About" box ?
Thanks.
[Xcode 16.2 on macOS 15.3.2.]
They said something like hold option or whatever but It didn't seems to work with me...
Within Xcode's settings location section is a drop down menu to switch between setting the derived data location to be default, relative or custom.
However its a global setting.
I work on more than one project simultaneously, and for one of them I want the location set to relative, but default for all the others.
Is there any way of achieving that?
I have enabled Code Review with the button and then String Catalog turned up to code view anyways i can't get it back to original view. Disable Code Review button doesn't do anything. Any idea?

I have tried several options so far to no avail:
Unarchiver shuts down silently (after ~1.5hr of trying to unarchive).
xip console tool fails after ~1.5hr with this error:

xip: error: The archive “Xcode_12.5.1.xip” failed to be moved to the final destination due to the error: The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory.
extracted .app is incomplete though weighs about 30GB
unxip extracts for ~1.5hr (being stuck for ~40min on Expanding items from “Xcode_12.5.1.xip”: 99%) and then shuts down. extracted .app is incomplete with the size of ~1.9GB
Are there any other options I can try to extract Xcode 12.5.1 xip archive?
Would external drive be an issue (I have Xcode_12.5.1.xip on external drive)?
for instance:

I am in debug mode
I'm on version 16 of simulator and Xcode. Last Friday, starting the simulator would take 10 seconds at the most. Now, it takes at least 10 minutes. My app target is the same and nothing in my app itself has changed. There's no new software installed and it has plenty of RAM and disk.
When I target my phone, it is instant. So I'm testing / debugging everything on my phone now. When I use the simulator, the initial load is about 10 minutes, then it's fine (using the app itself). But something is causing it to hang when loading. And like I said - last week it was fine. If it was slow when running on my phone, I'd think it was something with me/the app. But it's not.
This is the only messages I get in the system log.

Hi.
I have a xcframework that has a dependency on 'RxSwift' and 'RxCocoa'. I deployed it using SPM by embedding it in a Swift Package.
However when I import swift package into another project, I keep getting the following error:
"Missing required module 'RxCocoaRuntime"
How can I fix this?
Below are the steps to reproduce the error.
Steps
Create Xcode proejct, make a dependency on 'RxSwift' and 'RxCocoa' (no matter doing it through tuist or cocoapods)
Create XCFramework from that proejct. (I used commands below)
xcodebuild archive \
-workspace SimpleFramework.xcworkspace \
-scheme "SimpleFramework" \
-destination "generic/platform=iOS" \
-archivePath "./SimpleFramework-iphoneos.xcarchive" \
-sdk iphoneos \
SKIP_INSTALL=NO \
BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES
xcodebuild archive \
-workspace SimpleFramework.xcworkspace \
-scheme "SimpleFramework" \
-archivePath "./SimpleFramework-iphonesimulator.xcarchive" \
-sdk "iphonesimulator" \
SKIP_INSTALL=NO \
BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES
xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
-framework "./SimpleFramework-iphoneos.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/SimpleFramework.framework" \
-framework "./SimpleFramework-iphonesimulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/SimpleFramework.framework" \
-output "./SimpleFramework.xcframework"
Embed in Swift Package, and deploy.
// swift-tools-version: 6.0
// The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package.

Download Swift Package in another project and import module.
I resolved this by removing dependencies from the Swift Package, downloading package in another project, and fetching dependencies by cocoapods.
Thist works, but I don't want to use another dependency manager while using SPM.

Hi all,
I’m looking for a way to automate the process of adding Swift Package dependencies (SPM) into an Xcode project.
Right now, I’m doing this manually via:
Xcode → Project → Swift Packages → Add Package Dependency...
But I’d like to script this step — ideally as part of a CI/CD pipeline or a setup script. I explored the xcodeproj Ruby gem, but it doesn’t support adding SPM packages, and there's no official support for editing the .xcodeproj structure related to Swift Packages.
So my question is:
Is there any Apple-supported or community-supported way to programmatically add Swift Package dependencies to an Xcode project or workspace?
Would love to know if anyone has:
Used xcodebuild, xcodegen, or other tools for this
Explored editing project files directly (like project.pbxproj or Package.resolved)
Found any API or CLI hooks from Apple for this
Thanks in advance!

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?
