App Rejected stating "Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage" Issue Description One or more purpose strings in the app do not sufficiently explain the use of protected resources. Purpose strings must clearly and completely describe the app's use of data and, in most cases, provide an example of how the data will be used. My App is simple using MusicKit. My app has only two buttons and the user just taps them. ・search button : Search for Apple Music with auto-generated text and play previews. ・listen button : Listen to searched songs on Apple Music. NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key is "the app requires Apple Music access to search for songs and to play the searched songs." I don't know how to fix it. Please let me know some advice.

I was trying to compile an app that contains custom SF Symbols with Template 6.0 in Xcode (using Version 16.2 (16C5032a) on my Macbook running Sonoma 14.7.3 (23H417)). However, when building, I got the error The SVG file provided for the symbol image set ’(SVG file name)‘ is not suitable: Template format 6.0 is newer than the version that this software supports (5.0) for the custom symbols' SVGs. Attempting to preview the symbols in Xcode also seems to crash and force Xcode to quit. I am assuming this is something to do with the symbols not being compatible with my Xcode version, but the problem is that it should work since I am using Xcode 16.2, the latest stable version currently. The SVGs themselves even mention "Requires Xcode 16 or greater", which means they should work. Unfortunately, I could not find anything about this online (except another old post from 2023 with no answers), so I'm at a loss. The only possible cause that I can think of is because I'm running Sonoma instead of Sequoia (I'm using an ancient Intel Macbook which doesn't support Sequoia), but the official SF Symbols website says that it requires Ventura or later.

Greetings... I am trying to use @Namespace for my matchedGeometryEffect use case. prior to Xcode 15 beta the following code worked just fine: struct ChapterItem_Previews: PreviewProvider { @Namespace static var namespace static var previews: some View { ChapterItem(namespace: namespace, show: .constant(true)) } } However trying to do the same within the new Xcode 15 beta #Preview Macro #Preview { @Namespace var namespace ChapterItem(namespace: namespace, show: .constant(true)) } produces the following error message: Ambiguous use of 'Preview(_:traits:body:)' May I kindly get assistance on the proper way I can get this to work in Xcode 15 beta? Please be as detail as you can since I'm still new to swiftUI as well Thank You.

Hi everyone, I’ve been developing an app using Swift Playgrounds, and it was working fine in version 4.5. However, after updating to Swift Playground 4.6, the app no longer runs. After some testing, I found that the issue occurs when import AppIntent is included. Here’s a simple example: import SwiftUI //import AppIntents // <- If this line is included, Preview and Run fail. @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundColor(.accentColor) Text("Hello, world!") } } } Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks!

I have an application that uses WeatherKit for which I use the registered identifier com.[mycompanyname].[myappname] . I'm now developing a second application using WeatherKit, so I need to create a new identifier on https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/add/appId/bundle so that WeatherKit will recognize requests from com.[mycompanyname].[myappname2]. (in this post, I'm using "[xxx]" instead of the real strings) When I go to create an identifier for the new app, I get the error message: An attribute in the provided entity has invalid value An App ID with Identifier 'com.[mycompanyname].[myappname2]' is not available. Please enter a different string. Can anybody explain why I can't register the new app name, and how I can fix this?

Hi, I’m having trouble installing GPT 1.1 on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 using Xcode Command Line Tools 16.0. I downloaded Evaluation Environment for Windows Games 2.1, mounted the image, and opened the README file. Then, I followed Option 2 to build the environment from scratch: Set up your development and Homebrew environment Ensure you are using Command Line Tools for Xcode 15.1. You can download this older version from: https://developer.apple.com/downloads Note: There is a header file layout change that prevents using newer versions of the macOS SDK. softwareupdate --install-rosetta arch -x86_64 zsh /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" which brew brew tap apple/apple http://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple brew -v install apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit At first, I noticed that I needed to use CLT 15.1, which is not supported on later macOS versions (including mine). Even when I tried using 15.3 (which is somehow supported), I received a message stating that I needed CLT v16.0 or higher to install GPT. After following all the steps and waiting for the installation to complete, I got the following error: ==> Installing apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit ==> Staging /Users/tycjanfalana/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/7baed2a6fd34b4a641db7d1ea1e380ccb2f457bb24cd8043c428b6c10ea22932--crossover-sources-22.1.1.tar.gz in /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un ==> Patching ==> /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un/wine/configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.1 --disable-win16 --disable-tests --without-x --without-pulse --without-dbus --without-inotify --without-alsa --without-capi --without-oss --without-udev --without-krb5 --enable-win64 --with-gnutls --with-freetype --with-gstreamer CC=/usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang++ checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un/wine64-build': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details ==> Formula Tap: apple/apple Path: /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/apple/homebrew-apple/Formula/game-porting-toolkit.rb ==> Configuration HOMEBREW_VERSION: 4.4.24 ORIGIN: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew HOMEBREW_PREFIX: /usr/local Homebrew Ruby: 3.3.7 => /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/vendor/portable-ruby/3.3.7/bin/ruby CPU: 14-core 64-bit westmere Clang: 16.0.0 build 1600 Git: 2.39.5 => /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git Curl: 8.7.1 => /usr/bin/curl macOS: 15.3.1-x86_64 CLT: 16.0.0.0.1.1724870825 Xcode: N/A Rosetta 2: true ==> ENV HOMEBREW_CC: clang HOMEBREW_CXX: clang++ CFLAGS: [..] Error: apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit 1.1 did not build Logs: /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/00.options.out /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/01.configure /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/01.configure.cc /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/wine64-build If reporting this issue, please do so to (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core): apple/apple In config.log, I found this: configure:4672: checking for gcc configure:4704: result: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang configure:5057: checking for C compiler version configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang --version >&5 clang version 8.0.0 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin configure:5077: $? = 0 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -v >&5 clang version 8.0.0 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin configure:5077: $? = 0 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -V >&5 clang-8: error: argument to '-V' is missing (expected 1 value) clang-8: error: no input files configure:5077: $? = 1 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -qversion >&5 clang-8: error: unknown argument '-qversion', did you mean '--version'? clang-8: error: no input files configure:5077: $? = 1 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -version >&5 clang-8: error: unknown argument '-version', did you mean '--version'? clang-8: error: no input files configure:5077: $? = 1 configure:5097: checking whether the C compiler works configure:5119: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang [...] dyld[15547]: Symbol not found: _lto_codegen_debug_options_array Referenced from: <E33DCAC4-3116-3019-8003-432FB3E66FB4> /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/ld Expected in: <43F5C676-DE37-3F0E-93E1-BF793091141E> /usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/0.1/lib/libLTO.dylib clang-8: error: unable to execute command: Abort trap: 6 clang-8: error: linker command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation) configure:5123: $? = 254 configure:5163: result: no configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "Wine" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "wine" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "7.7" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "Wine 7.7" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" | #define PACKAGE_URL "" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main (void) | { | | ; | return 0; | } configure:5168: error: in `/private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un/wine64-build': configure:5170: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log` for more details Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

My app needs to run on macOS 11+. It has one window of fixed size i.e. it should NOT be resizable. .windowResizability(.contentSize) is only available in macOS 13+. How can window resizability be disabled in macOS 11 and 12 ? I'm running Xcode 16.2 on macOS 15.3.2. Thanks.

I'm unable to debug on iPhone 12 running iOS 17 beta 3 via network. I'm running Xcode 15 beta 6 Device shows in devices and simulators and I can debug when connected with cable. However the "Connect Via Network" option is frayed out, oddly however the checkbox is ticked I'm developing a app using RoomPlan so network connectivity is a must for debugging Anyone else encountered this and know how to get around this problem Other devices running iOS 16 connect via network just fine

Ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.usernotifications.filtering?language=objc Currently, it seems impossible to enable this entitlement for local development and testing without first going through Apple’s approval process. I would like to be able to test how it works on a side project without having to submit the form which seems designed for real app. There is any trick I can use?

After updating playgroud to the latest 4.6.3 version, the original sample app download interface disappeared. I tried many methods but couldn't find it again. How should I retrieve it again? Or was it deleted in this version?

It'd be great if someone would give an overview of the steps to create a new app from an existing one. Can I copy my Xcode project to get started? After I copy my Xcode project, what do I need to do in Xcode? What do I need to do regarding certificate(s) and bundle id. Are there any steps where order is super important? Feel free, of course, to provide a link to an article and/or video on this as that'd be awesome if the information is current. What I've found online is typically out-of-date or more specific - not an overview.

DocC supports treating build warnings as errors using the --warnings-as-errors flag. Is there a way to pass this flag to xcodebuild docbuild command or do I need to use xcrun docc convert after generating the symbol graph?

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a company (AAA) and renamed it to BBB. While the name has been updated locally in the Czech DUNS database, I’ve been informed it could take 4–6 weeks for the new name to appear internationally. When I attempt to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, I still see the old company name (AAA). I’m worried about losing valuable time if I have to wait for the international DUNS update. Is there any way to proceed with the enrollment under the old name and then update it to the new name later once the global DUNS data is refreshed? Or is there a way to expedite the update process? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I installed a custom font (Font awesome) into my app. I triple checked that I did everything right: the font files are included in the bundle (they appear in the "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase) and the names of the fonts appear in the Info.plist file under "Fonts provided by application". In Interface builder, I select a Label, set the font to "Custom", then I click the Family list to select the font I want. Once or twice, I was actually able to see the Font Awesome fonts in this list and select one. However, they no longer appear there when I create new labels in new views. I do not understand why. I've been limping along by copying a label from one of the views where it worked and pasting it into the new view, but this is tiresome. I know the fonts are installed correctly because I can see them when I run the app. Why are the fonts not showing up on the font list in interface builder?

When you build a static library that includes DWARF information, you may encounter error messages in the binary package generated by Xcodebuild. Upon examining the DWARF information with dwarfdump, you will find that any entries containing keywords like dir are all absolute paths specific to the publisher's computer. This is quite alarming, as it poses a risk of leaking private information. Additionally, when debugging an app, you can encounter consistent warning notes indicating that the referenced path addresses cannot be found. This is because the absolute path addresses generated during the 'xcodebuild' process reflect the paths from the computer used to build it. When distributing this to others, how can anyone access these paths? Has the design of the secondary linking process for DWARF considered the issues related to binary distribution? Are there existing solutions to address and handle privacy concerns? Is there a solution to allow the distributed DWARF files to be correctly recognized during compilation and debugging of the app? BTW: Incorrect paths can indeed affect LLDB's ability to load and debug the application effectively?

I'm working on an audio plugin, and when I set the target to VST3 instead of Standalone Plugin and check the "Debug Executable" box, I get this error: Message from debugger: attach failed (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.) I found this post, which seems to be about this same issue, and I followed the recommended solution: I made sure CODE_SIGN_INJECT_BASE_ENTITLEMENTS is true and DEPLOYMENT_POSTPROCESSING is false. I also checked the entitlements on the .app using codesign -d --entitlements, and it returned: [Key] com.apple.security.get-task-allow [Value] [Bool] true This seems like it has the proper entitlements, but it is still breaking with the above error message when I clean and build. Any ideas?

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with running my app on my iPhone, and I’m hoping someone can help. Here’s my situation: I’m using Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS Ventura 13.7.4. My iPhone is running iOS 18.3.2 (Model: iPhone 14 Pro). When I connect my iPhone to Xcode, I get the error: "Could not locate device support files. You may be able to resolve the issue by installing the latest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store or developer.apple.com." I understand that Xcode 14.3.1 only supports up to iOS 16.4, and my iPhone’s iOS 18.3.2 is much newer. Unfortunately, I cannot update my macOS to Sonoma (14.x) due to hardware limitations, so I cannot install a newer version of Xcode (like 15.x or 16.x) that supports iOS 18.3.2. I’ve tried adding device support files manually, but the repositories I found (e.g., iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport and JinjunHan/iOSDeviceSupport) only have files up to iOS 16.4 or 17.3, and they don’t work for iOS 18.3.2. Does anyone have the device support files for iOS 18.3.2 (or a close version like 18.3) that I can add to my Xcode 14.3.1 to make it work with my iPhone? Alternatively, does anyone know a reliable source where I can download these files? Any other suggestions to resolve this issue without upgrading my macOS would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help! [Your Name or Username]
