We are experiencing an issue where our app gets stuck during launch. The splash screen appears for some time, and then the app either becomes unresponsive or closes unexpectedly. However, there are no crash logs captured in Xcode or Firebase Crashlytics, indicating that the app is not crashing but rather being terminated. This issue is preventing affected users from properly launching the app.
Additionally, some users have reported occasional lag and slow performance when using the app. The issue occurs only for a specific subset of users and appears to be related to other Electronic Logging Device (ELD) apps running in the background. When these apps are active, our app struggles to launch and sometimes becomes unresponsive.
We suspect that this behavior could be related to system resource allocation, such as high memory consumption by background apps, which might be affecting our app's ability to launch correctly. However, we have been unable to reproduce the issue on our end despite multiple attempts.
Actions Performed During App Launch:
Firebase configuration
API requests, including:
Fetching account details
Registering the FCM token with the server
Asynchronous background requests to fetch POI details
Creating a local database and storing POI data in local storage
We would like guidance from Apple regarding potential causes and debugging strategies, especially in scenarios where the app does not produce crash logs but still fails to launch properly. Any insights into memory management, conflicts with background applications, or system resource constraints would be highly appreciated.
Steps to Reproduce:
Install and launch the app on an affected device.
Observe that the app gets stuck on the launch screen.
After some time, the app terminates unexpectedly.
Issue is inconsistent and occurs only for certain users.
Presence of other ELD apps running in the background appears to influence the issue.

Hi there -
when attempting to upload the latest build of my macOS app to App Store Connect via Xcode's Organizer I'm now greeted with this warning.
I don't even know what it's attempting to tell me..
Yes, I understand what dSYMs are for - but the UUIDs don't appear anywhere
in my workspace (full text search on the folder),
in the build log,
or the ..thing.. the 'Export' button generates.
Any help much appreciated, ATM I don't even know where to start.
Cheers,
Jay
I have an iOS app, and I am trying to add a companion WatchOS app. My iOS app depends on 2 libraries:
GoogleMobileAds
FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport
When I add a new target for WatchOS, the preview build starts to fail. I am not adding any libraries to WatchOS. The Google Ads and Firebase Analytics libs are only under the iOS target.
I am unable to run the preview, I get an error when trying to build the watch scheme. The preview does not work. The build just crashes. I've included the error log below.
But, here are the steps I've tried so far:
Delete folders inside Derived Data
Run a clean build (Cmd + Option + Shift + K)
Delete scheme and create a new one
Reset Package Cache
Restart Xcode
Restart Macbook
But, it just does not work. I do not understand why the watchOS target is erroring for "GoogleUserMessagingPlatform" and "GoogleMobileAdsTarget" when those packages are not linked/used for the watchOS.
SchemeBuildError: Failed to build the scheme “timerWatch Watch App”

Hey everyone,
We’re running into a frustrating issue with Xcode Cloud builds submitted to App Store Review. After every build, we must manually delete all code signing certificates generated by Xcode Cloud; otherwise, the reviewers can’t open the exported App Store app.
When they try to open it, they see the error:
“Apple Information Security: A process was blocked from running and moved to Trash: [Our App Name]”
Oddly enough, if we delete all Xcode Cloud-generated certificates and then trigger a new Xcode Cloud build, the problem temporarily disappears—until the next submission, where we have to repeat the process.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any recommendations on how to prevent this from happening? We’d rather not keep trashing certificates after every build.
Thanks!

We are facing a challenge with the renewal of our Apple Developer Program. Last year, we renewed it using a UPI ID, but that UPI ID is no longer available. We have added a new UPI ID and want the payment to be deducted from it. However, when we click on ‘Renew the Program,’ it redirects us to the old UPI ID, which we are unable to delete. It also shows that there is a currently active subscription linked to that UPI ID. We are in the 30-day grace period. We contacted the Apple Support team, but they have not provided a solution. Is there anyone who can help with this?”
Hi all,
I’m running into a persistent linker error when building my Unity 6 project (IL2CPP, iOS target) that calls a Swift method via an Objective-C++ wrapper. Despite following all known steps, I keep getting:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_placeGeoAnchor", referenced from:
_GeoAnchorTrigger_placeGeoAnchor in libGameAssembly.a
...
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
I’m trying to place a persistent AR anchor at real-world GPS coordinates (so that the same asset can appear at the same location for a returning user). Since I’m targeting iOS, I can’t use Google’s geospatial anchors (but I sooo wish I could--please apple I beg of you stop being so selfish lol).
I've already done these things:
Swift file is added to Unity-iPhone target.
.mm and .h files are in Unity-iPhone target under Compile Sources.
Bridging header is set to Unity-iPhone-Bridging-Header.h.
Generated header name is correct (GeoTest-Swift.h).
Build Active Architecture Only set to No.
Function has attribute((visibility("default"))).
Unity project uses IL2CPP scripting backend.
Yet I'm still getting the same linker error — it appears Unity (via IL2CPP) references the function, but Xcode doesn't link it.
It’s something small that’s being missed with how IL2CPP links native symbols? Or maybe I need to explicitly include something in Link Binary With Libraries? I’ve verified symbol visibility and targets repeatedly.
I’ve built AR features in Unity before (for Quest), but this is my first time trying to bridge C# → Objective-C++ → Swift in this way for a geolocation-based AR anchor for an iphone.
I'm going crazy, I’ve been stuck on this for 12+ hours now, so any insight or nudge would be deeply appreciated.

I upgraded xcode to 16.2 and found that the txt file generated by Write Link Map File is different from before, no longer containing detailed data. So, how to set it up to obtain the same link map file as the previous xcode version.

I'm calling this command to export archive:
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath .build/XYZ.xcarchive -exportPath .build/XYZ.ipa -exportOptionsPlist Authenticator/ExportOptions.plist -quiet -allowProvisioningUpdates
Here is my exportOptions file content
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>method</key>
<string>app-store-connect</string>
<key>signingStyle</key>
<string>automatic</string>
<key>teamID</key>
<string>ABCD</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Most of the time this command fail with this error:
error: exportArchive No Accounts
error: exportArchive No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found
What we found is that our Apple ID just disappear from Xcode and we need to add it again manually.
So there are two questions here:
Why Apple ID account dissapears and how I can fix this?
Is there an option to not use Apple ID account in Xcode and for example to use -authenticationKeyID flags of xcodebuild?
Just to mention this happens only on our CI machine and not locally.
I tried \s+$ to find trailing spaces, but it seems the IDE code editor behaves strangely - it locates random lines that obviously has no trailing spaces.
Did I misunderstand regex in the editor?
This appears to be the same issue as wasresolved here, but given that post is marked as solved, I thought it appropriate to open a new thread.
I have no access to build artefacts for any of the App Store Connect teams I'm a member of. I have Admin or App Manager permissions for the teams I've tried. Clicking the download link for any artefact directs to a single json string:
{"message":"You are not authorized to access this team’s resources."}
Trying through the build navigator in Xcode 16.3 crashes Xcode.

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: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted)
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)?
Hi,
Our organisation just ran out of the included Xcode Cloud hours. I now want to upgrade (I am the account holder).
There does not seem to be a way to do this on the Apple Developer and/or App Store Connect websites, as you'd expect.
The Get started with Xcode Cloud page mentions that I need to use the Apple Developer app.
However, when I sign up to this in the Apple Developer app, the account shown when pressing Subscribe is my personal account, not any account related to the organization:
It is impossible to change the payment details.
How can I use the organization account to pay for this, as I obviously do not want to get charged to my personal account?
Thanks.

Since upgrading from Xcode 15 to 16, we have been experiencing a build error during compilation. Building on Xcode 15 still works with no issues. The error happens only on the first build after a clean. Subsequent builds succeed. This is an issue because our CI process archives the project from a clean slate, and this causes it to fail every time. I will attempt to describe the issue and include information I believe is relevant in this document.
The error occurs on this import line within an Objective-C file during the Scan Dependencies step of compiling. This line imports our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "Swift2Objc.h".
Our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file is simply wrapping the project’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "KWISwift.h".
The error is specific to the import of the OfflineServices Swift Package.
Specifically, the OfflineServices-Swift.h file - the Swift Package’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging file.
Module JRE not found - the exact error (Also included as text on the bottom of the post)
JRE is a third-party library provided to us as an xcframework. It is placed directly into our Swift Package as a binary target.
The xcframework itself is composed of .a file and a Headers folder which includes header files and a module.modulemap.
The module.modulemap file looks like this.

I want to release a Framework F, containing several other frameworks (such as Realm, Appetitive, Cocoalumberjack, PhoneNumberKit) for use by app A.
According to this article: https://medium.com/@bittudavis/how-to-create-an-umbrella-framework-in-swift-ca964d0a2345
They write, without referencing a source: "Although Apple discourage creating umbrella framework".
Is that true, do Apple discourage umbrella frameworks, if so why and is it a very strong discourage or a mild one?
If not discouraged, then how can this be achieved with Xcode 16?
I've been attempting to follow a few tutorial to achieve this, such as https://medium.com/john-lewis-software-engineering/adding-a-third-party-framework-inside-a-first-party-framework-in-xcode-3ba58cfd08da
however so far without any success. This last article mentions the Link Binary With Libraries section, which doesn't exist in Xcode 16.
There's the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content section where I have been attempting to add the frameworks into my Framework F (choosing Embed without Signing).
I'm able to successfully build Framework F, but when app A attempts to use it (adding F to the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content section with option embed and sign, or embed and don't sign, makes no difference) then I get run time errors about the umbrellaed frameworks not being able to be found.
I want to install the latest Xcode development software on my Mac, but the xip files won't open. I keep getting the following message:
There was a problem while reading the contents of "Xcode_15 xip":
Data is corrupted
I have tried several unarchiver packages, and keep getting this message. I have also downloaded several other Xcode versions with the same result. Any idea what is going on here and/or how to fix it?

I am a developer working on an iOS enterprise application. When I deployed the release version to my device, it crashes upon startup. It works fine in debug mode on my device.
The app is an upgraded version of Xamarin Form to .NET MAUI.
I have attached a crash report.
I would appreciate any help/insights on how to resolve.
