Undefined symbol: _main Error
I’ve been struggling with this issue for a long time. When I try to archive my app to submit it to the App Store, I encounter two errors: Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Swift/C++ interoperability issue in std::string
In scope of one of our project we've faced an issue with constant crashes when integrating C++ library in Swift code using Swift/C++ interoperability. Investigating the root causes of the issue we've discovered that with new version of Swift bug was introduced. Long story short: for strings bigger than 27 symbols memory is feed incorrectly that causes the crashes. By creating this post I wanted to draw community's attention to the problem and promote it to be solved quicker as for now it is not addressed.

Load bundle resources in UI Tests
I want to load images from my bundle, which works fine when running the main app. However this does not work when running UI Tests. I read that the test bundle is not the main bundle when running tests. I try loading the bundle via this snippet: let bundle = Bundle(for: Frames_HoerspielUITests.self) This is my test class wrapped these the canImport statements so it can be added to the main app target and used for getting the correct bundle: #if canImport(XCTest) import XCTest final class Frames_HoerspielUITests: XCTestCase { override func setUpWithError() throws { continueAfterFailure = false } override func tearDownWithError() throws { } @MainActor func testExample() throws { let app = XCUIApplication() app.launch() } @MainActor func testLaunchPerformance() throws { measure(metrics: [XCTApplicationLaunchMetric()]) { XCUIApplication().launch() } } } #else final class Frames_HoerspielUITests { } #endif However while this works when running the main app, it still fails in the UI tests. It is a SwiftUI only app. and I can't add the images to the asset catalog because they are referenced from another location. Any ideas? Thank you

Customization in Swift ArgumentParser's help command and error output
Hello I want to implement customisation to swift argumentparser, Here are following changes want to do it in my cli changing default footer present in help command output currently help command output coming like this OVERVIEW: clisample USAGE: clisample <subcommand> OPTIONS: --version show the version. -h, --help show the help. SUBCOMMANDS: logs (default) Export logs for clisample processes. See 'clisample --help' for more information.' so instead of See 'clisample --help' for more information.' I want my own string For more details, run 'clisample help <subcommand>' customise error string getting from validation error Error: Missing value for '-t <time>' Help: -t <time> Time window (e.g. 10h, 30m, 2d). Usage: clisample logs --time <time> See 'clisample logs --help' for more information. so I want error output with example and customised footer, like this Error: Missing value for '-t <time>' Help: -t <time> Time window (e.g. 10h, 30m, 2d). Usage: clisample logs --time <time> Example: clisample logs -t 5m For more details, run 'clisample help <subcommand>' Is this changes possible from anyway?

Error `Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation` when trying to create a Task.
Hi, I've got this view model that will do a search using a database of keywords. It worked fine when the SearchEngine wasn't an actor but a regular class and the SearchResult wasn't a Sendable. But when I changed them, it returned Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation error at line 21 ( searchTask = Task {). What did I do wrong here? Thanks. protocol SearchableEngine: Actor { func searchOrSuggest(from query: String) -> SearchResult? func setValidTitles(_ validTitles: [String]) } @MainActor final class SearchViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var showSuggestion: Bool = false @Published var searchedTitles: [String] = [] @Published var suggestedKeyword: String? = nil private var searchTask: Task<Void, Never>? private let searchEngine: SearchableEngine init(searchEngine: SearchableEngine) { self.searchEngine = searchEngine } func search(_ text: String) { searchTask?.cancel() searchTask = Task { guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } let searchResult = await searchEngine.searchOrSuggest(from: text) ?? .notFound guard !Task.isCancelled else { return } await MainActor.run { switch searchResult { case let .searchItems(_, items): showSuggestion = false searchedTitles = items.map(\.title) suggestedKeyword = nil case let .suggestion(keyword, _, items): showSuggestion = true searchedTitles = items.map(\.title) suggestedKeyword = keyword case .notFound: showSuggestion = false searchedTitles = [] suggestedKeyword = nil } } } } }

Basic c++ main xcodeproj call to swift struct
I can't find any simple c++ xcodeproj call to swift struct using modern c++ swift mix. there is the fibonacci example that is swift app call to c++. Base on fibonacci example I create new simple project and fail to build it with error when I try to include #include <SwiftMixTester/SwiftMixTester-Swift.h> What is wrong? Is it the right place to ask this? Any work project link? Xcode 26.

Swift Package file - resources .copy rule with nested directories
Does anyone know if the resources .copy rule in a Swift .package file is supposed to recursively copy the full contents if it's pointed at a directory? The docs say… If you pass a directory path to the copy rule, the compiler retains the directory’s structure. …but you can interpret that in a few different ways. It also doesn’t appear to work if the directory you specify only contains directories.

vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform failed to initialize with 5 * 5 * 2^n count
I am implementing the FFT using vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform. According to the official documentation, the count parameter has requirements as outlined below: /// The `count` parameter must be: /// * For split-complex real-to-complex: `2ⁿ` or `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `3`, `5`, or `15` and `n >= 4`. /// * For split-complex complex-to-complex: `2ⁿ` or `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `3`, `5`, or `15` and `n >= 3`. /// * For interleaved: `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `2`, `3`, `5`, `3x3`, `3x5`, or `5x5`, and `n>=2`. Despite adhering to these specifications in theory, my attempt to initialize an interleaved DFT with count = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 (equivalent to 5×5 × 2²) resulted in a failure. Below is the code snippet I used for the initialization: do { let dft = try vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform( previous: nil, count: 2 * 2 * 5 * 5, direction: .forward, transformType: .complexReal, ofType: DSPComplex.self ) print(dft) } catch { print("DFT init failed:", error) } Could somebody more knowledgeable with these APIs have a look? Thanks!

Provisional Permission is not working as expected in iOS 16
We recently developed the provisional permission for our app, but we have noticed that is not working as expected in iOS 16 (We have tested only there). Currently we request the permissions like this: UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .badge, .sound, .provisional]) { [weak self] _, _ in // here we register for pushes in case authorizationStatus is provisional or authorised } What happens is we do get the 1st notification with the keep CTA - once tapped we see that there pops an action: "Deliver Immediately", but even though the user selects that, we still see under setting the pushes are marked as "Deliver Quietly". In addition to this the sound and bage still stay as toggled off - and the lock screen and banner as well stay off. Basically, nothing changes after the user selects "Deliver Immediately"

SwiftData Unidirectional Relationships
Hi everyone I would like to achieve having unidirectional relationships in my SwiftData project (which I believe is possible: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/updates/swiftdata?changes=_9) but I'm afraid I'm struggling to overcome the errors I'm experiencing. For example, I have the following models: @Model final class Quota { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var allowance: Int @Relationship(inverse: nil) var fish: Fish init(id: UUID = UUID(), fish: Fish, allowance: Int) { self.id = id self.fish = fish self.allowance = allowance } } @Model final class Fish { @Attribute(.unique) var id: Int var name: String init(id: Int, name: String) { self.id = id, self.name = name } } However, when I attempt to save a quota as so: let quota: Quota = .init(fish: Fish(id: 2, name: "Salmon"), allowance: 50) modelContext?.insert(quota) try save() I keep getting the following error: SwiftData.DefaultStore save failed with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1570 "%{PROPERTY}@ is a required value." UserInfo={NSValidationErrorObject=<NSManagedObject: 0x600002217390> (entity: Fish; id: 0x83319d001151328d <x-coredata://C76A2A64-146E-432F-A565-319B5A2F23F5/Fish/p12>; data: { id = nil; }), NSLocalizedDescription=%{PROPERTY}@ is a required value., NSValidationErrorKey=id, NSValidationErrorValue=null} %{PROPERTY}@ is a required value. However, if I set up Quota and Fish with an inverse relationship then the data saves as expected, so I'm a little confused. Is there anyone out there who can provide some guidance as to why I'm seeing this error when I try to save a record in SwiftData with no inverse relationship? I do fully understand about unidirectional vs bidirectional relationships but I have a scenario where I need the relationship to be unidirectional. Also, as a side note, the Fish record already exists in my database, but if I delete it and try to save the record I still see this error. Thank you so much in advance for any help.

Ambiguous use of 'textField' in Xcode 26
func textField( _ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String ) -&gt; Bool { if let delegate = delegate, let shouldChangeCharactersIn = delegate.textField { return shouldChangeCharactersIn(textField, range, string) } return true } This is from an extension extension TextInput: UITextFieldDelegate, ObservableTextFieldDelegateProtocol { The delegate is already a UITextFieldDelegate, but when you click on the error, it returns 7 instances of: "Found this candidate in module 'UIKit' (UIKit.UITextFieldDelegate.textField)" This doesn't give an error in Xcode 16. Is this an Xcode 26 bug?

Exposing Objective-C API to Swift inside a Framework (Private Framework API)
My framework has private Objective-C API that is only used within the framework. It should not be exposed in the public interface (so it shouldn't be imported in the umbrella header). To expose this API to Swift that's within the framework only the documentation seems to indicate that this needs to be imported in the umbrella header? Import Code Within a Framework Target To use the Objective-C declarations in files in the same framework target as your Swift code, configure an umbrella header as follows: 1.Under Build Settings, in Packaging, make sure the Defines Module setting for the framework target is set to Yes. 2.In the umbrella header, import every Objective-C header you want to expose to Swift. Swift sees every header you expose publicly in your umbrella header. The contents of the Objective-C files in that framework are automatically available from any Swift file within that framework target, with no import statements. Use classes and other declarations from your Objective-C code with the same Swift syntax you use for system classes. I would imagine that there must be a way to do this?

Swift Package Manager – Support for Multiple Targets with Distinct Localization Files
I am an SDK provider working with Swift Package Manager (SPM) to deliver libraries for iOS developers. My SDK currently uses SPM targets to modularize functionality. However, SPM enforces strict resource bundling, which prevents me from efficiently offering multiple targets—each with a different set of localization files—in a single package. Current Limitation: When multiple SPM targets share the same source and resource directory but require distinct sets of .lproj localization folders (for app size or client requirements), SPM raises “overlapping sources” errors. The only workaround is to manually split resource directories or have clients prune localizations post-build, which is inefficient and error-prone. Feature Request: Please consider adding native support in Swift Package Manager for: Defining multiple targets within a single package that can process overlapping source/resource directories, Each target specifying a distinct subset of localization resource files via the exclude or a new designated parameter, Enabling efficient modular delivery of SDKs to clients needing different localization payloads, without redundant resource duplication or error-prone manual pruning. Support for this feature would greatly ease SDK distribution, lower app sizes, and improve package maintainability for iOS and all Swift platforms.
