Dear Apple & Community, I am encountering an issue while running my Unit tests on Xcode 16. I'm receiving the following error in the debugger area. Error loading /var/containers/Bundle/Application/FF057050-1BCC-49D8-9D3F-A3731E30F354/<Project_name>.app/PlugIns/<Project_name>.xctest/<Project_name>Tests (133): dlopen(/var/containers/Bundle/Application/FF057050-1BCC-49D8-9D3F-A3731E30F354/<Project_name>.app/PlugIns/<Project_name>.xctest/<Project_name>Tests, 0x0109): Symbol not found: _$s5Model11AccountDataV7TestingE4mockACvau Referenced from: <4027FFAF-5C6C-3F8A-9862-648D3D4A1257> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/FF057050-1BCC-49D8-9D3F-A3731E30F354/<Project_name>.app/PlugIns/<Project_name>.xctest/<Project_name>Tests Expected in: <406DF294-634D-3D8A-8E59-BEE455BA96AF> /System/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Testing.framework/Testing Failed to load test bundle from file:///private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/FF057050-1BCC-49D8-9D3F-A3731E30F354/<Project_name>.app/PlugIns/<Project_name>.xctest/: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3588 .....

Working with .xctestplan files reminds me very much of working with project files and nibs and storyboards back in the day 😅 It seems that they are non-deterministic. This means that every time we add a new test module or edit the inclusion rules at all the whole file is recomputed. But it doesn't have a fixed order so everything in the file changes. It makes it very difficult to see what has happened in PR reviews and causes conflicts any time anything is changed. TBH... because it isn't alphabetical, even just finding a particular test suite is difficult without changes. Are there any plans to bring this file format up to date with the likes of xcodeproj and xib files? It would help massively while working with source control in a larger team. Thanks

Hi, is there documentation on how to write a deep link that will open Xcode on a given file, and optionally a line number? I know about xed, and I would like exactly that functionality, but in link form, so that I can link to a certain file from an app such as Obsidian or from a README.md file. I checked Xcode's Info.plist and it understands several URL schemes, the most promising of which is xcode://, which successfully launches the app, but no matter what I tried, I get an error dialog telling me that Xcode did not understand the URL. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Victor

I've got a very simple command-line Swift project that contains a couple of OpenGL shader source files. They need to be accessed at run-time in order to be compiled and linked. For initial debugging, I hard-coded the absolute path to their location in the Xcode project directory, but I switch back and forth between two machines (MacBook Pro and Mac Studio) for which the project paths are different, so this doesn't work well. To solve this, I thought I could get Xcode to copy the shader sources over with the executable file at build time. I'm aware that technically, command-line apps have no resource bundle, but the "Build Phases" -> "Copy Files" section of the project configuration isn't disabled for my project, so I assumed that it could handle this. I added the two shader source files to the set of files to copy, via the "+" button, and set the Destination to "Products Directory". I left the "Subpath" field blank. AFAICT, nothing happens: the "Products/Debug" sub-directory of "~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/..." has the executable, but neither of the shader sources. In fact, they don't appear anywhere inside ~/Library/Developer/Xcode. Okay, perhaps I need to uncheck "Copy only when installing" in the project config? Sadly, as soon as I click to uncheck it, Xcode crashes, even if that's the very first thing I do immediately after Xcode restarts. FWIW, I'm running Xcode 16.2 on a late 2019 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.1, but I'm pretty sure I've experienced the problem on my 2024 Mac Studio as well.

I get the following status fail when trying to upload a test app to my iPhone. (see attached). I have assigned it to a team, and checked automatic signing. Yet the app fails to load with the error in the image attached. First time getting an app to work properly in Xcode (yay!), and first time trying n failing to deploy it to my iPhone X (iOS 16). The phone is connected and viewable to image capture on my Mac, so I don't think the connection itself is the issue. I am using com.example.myName.appName as the bundle identifier, and since this is not a real domain, I am wondering if that is it. Could use some guidance here... ADVthanksANCE!!

I have a Mac Mini (M4) running macOS Sequoia 15.3.1. I very recently downloaded and installed the current version of XCode from the app store. I have not added any extensions - it's a vanilla, un-customized, un-enhanced installation. I have two user profiles (accounts) on my Mac: one Administrator and one Standard, each using a different apple account. I am using the Standard user account to learn XCode. When I attempt to set up a project, I get an error message when Xcode initially tries to save the (provided) project template file. The error states: "Failed to save Project2.xcodeproj. The backing file has been modified outside of XCode." I am using a NAS drive to store my project file. I have also tried saving it to the Desktop. It makes no difference to the error wherever the file is being saved. Similarly, I tried changing the Standard user account to an Administrator account to see if it was a privileges problem. Again, it made no difference to the error message. (So I changed the account back to a Standard user). I have tried googling the error but I only find references to problems related to extension/add-in products to XCode: none of which have I added to my XCode installation. I am attaching screenshots of the steps through the project creation process. Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong or what the problem is. Thank you.

After changing Xcode 16.2 with min iOS 15. I got error in debug mode Assertion failed: (reconstituted == accumulator), function setFixup64, file OutputFile.cpp, line 2975. But project still can archive to IPA. Anyone has the same issue as me?

Hello! We're working on a large app with over 400 modules in both Swift and Objective-C, totaling more than 3 million lines of code. Since the release of Xcode 15 and 16 this summer, we’ve been experiencing issues with LLDB that have made debugging practically impossible. Here are some of the problems we’re facing: The first breakpoint takes a very long time to hit. When using 'po self', we encounter the following error: error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$s5MyModule10PlayerViewCD" was not found (cached) error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. We get numerous log messages like this: Debugging will be degraded due to missing types. Rebuilding the project will regenerate the needed module files.warning: (arm64) /Users/egormerkushev/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-enhtbwiyebmjsffoqkqhhpshsfia/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyModule.framework/MyModule(UploadConfiguration.o) 0x000000000000079d: unable to locate module needed for external types: /Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/169D1N0MIKBUI/Security-3BRN4UPIIGHME.pcm error: '/Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/169D1N0MIKBUI/Security-3BRN4UPIIGHME.pcm' does not exist In the Derived Data folder, we find files with hash-like names, such as: Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.d Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.dia Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.pcm Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.scan Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.d Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.dia Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.pcm Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.scan Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.d Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.dia Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.pcm Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.scan Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.d Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.dia Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.pcm Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.scan Security-3ZE8O6ZPHE4L52UZGL0PCBA59.d Security-3ZE8O6ZPHE4L52UZGL0PCBA59.dia ...

In short, our debugger is completely unusable at this point, which is severely impacting our team's ability to develop effectively. Do you have any suggestions on how we can resolve these issues? We would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hello! I'm experiencing a persistent SwiftCompile warning that I haven't been able to resolve for several months: <unknown>:0: warning: default will never be executed Observations: Appears randomly across different files during the build. No source location or line highlighting is provided. Persists across clean builds and project reopenings. Occurs in both Xcode Cloud and local builds. What I’ve tried: Ensuring all switch statements on enums explicitly handle every case. Removing default cases from fully covered enum switches. Refactoring optional enum handling (e.g., using if let instead of switch). None of these resolved the issue. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Xcode 16.2 (and also Apple Configurator) randomly stopped working since today morning. Upon opening, the application crashes -> "unexpectedly quit".

My preview crashes whenever I compare my model's value to a constant's stored value. I use struct constants with a stored value as alternatives to enums, (IIRC ever since the beginning) enums never worked at all with .rawValue or computed properties. This crashes when it runs on Xcode 16.3 beta and iOS 18.4 in previews. It doesn't appear to crash in simulator. @Model class Media { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID = UUID() @Attribute var type: MediaType init(type: MediaType) { self.type = type } static var predicate: (Predicate<Media>) { let image = MediaType.image.value let predicate = #Predicate<Media> { media in media.type.value == image } return predicate } } struct MediaType: Codable, Equatable, Hashable { static let image: MediaType = .init(value: 0) static let video: MediaType = .init(value: 1) static let audio: MediaType = .init(value: 2) var value: Int } My application crashes with "Application crashed due to fatalError in Schema.swift at line 320." KeyPath \Media.<computed 0x000000034082a33c (MediaType)>.value points to a field (<computed 0x000000034082a33c (MediaType)>) that is unknown to Media and cannot be used. This appears to also occur if I am using a generic/any func and use protocols to access a property which is a simple String, such as id or name, despite it being a stored SwiftData attribute. I filed a bug report, but looking to hear workarounds.

Since iOS 18.2 the simulators have been missing the content under Apps menu for Settings. We are on to iOS 18.3 and still no Apps settings. @dts

Hello! I'm working on implementing SwiftUI + StoreKit2 IAP in my app, and Xcode testing has been fantastic, now I'd like to test my app with Sandbox, where I created a Sandbox account, and it works on my physical device, I can log in, make transactions, etc. (btw, feedback: please improve the UX for Sandbox testing, it's really clumsy compared to Xcode testing with Transaction Manager) My problem is that when I'd like to log in with my Sandbox account on the simulator (Settings -&gt; Developer -&gt; Sandbox Apple Account (at the bottom) -&gt; Sign in), it doesn't work, it fails silently. I know it authenticates well, because if I type in the wrong password, I get an error popup, but with the right password, it just fails silently, hides the login sheet and the "Sign in" text remains "Sign in" (on my phone when I log in, the "Sign in" is replaced with the email address of the Sandbox account). I know many people get errors, and they recommend to go icloud.com and acccept TOS (done that), also to download the latest iOS for the simulator (also done), these are not a problem for me, as I don't get any errors. My authentication works, but for some reason the simulator still won't log in, it fails silently, and I see no errors/reason why. Tried with different simulators (latest iOS version), same result, tried to reboot the simulator, same result. Any idea why is this happening? Thank you, sendai

When I try to build my project in Xcode (from Unity AR) project, it throws me these errors: I feel like I've tried everything to make the LaunchScreen work. I downloaded xcode the night I tried running this build, so the whole deleting and redownloading and restarting everything didn't work. I've tried making sure my macbook and terminal are fully up to date. I literally can't find a solution! Please help!! I will also say, I'm fairly new to App building, Xcode, and Unity. But this does seem like a barrier that is stopping me from testing my project.

I got this error when I upgraded to Xcode 16.2. Unfortunately, my project doesn't run anymore. Can anyone help me?

I have some formatting strings that got in my string catalog, e.g. "%@" or "(%@)". However these strings are no longer used in my code anywhere (searching "In this project" in Xcode only matches the entries in my strings catalog), but Xcode does not remove them. I tried editing the file in a text editor, removing them manually but they keep coming back. Any solution for this? Xcode Version 15.4 (15F31d)

Hi, I currently have an app that connect to an arduno via CoreBluetooth. However, the app no longer discovers the arduino when the operating system was upgraded to iOS 18.3.1, however on iOS version 17.6.1 the ardiuno was discoverable I was able to test this theory on two different phones each with different iOS versions. Why are my peripherals no longer being discovered with this update? and what is the solution?

I deleted everything including Xcode, Android Studio and Flutter and reinstalled them and I followed the SDK installation step by step on the Flutter page but I can't run my project on Xcode. I entered my Apple account including all the signings and certificates via the .workspace file extension but it didn't work. The error I get from Xcode keeps changing. We installed podfiles with the support I got from the AIs and after some fiddling, I got the only error right now: Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code
