Overview

I’m seeing what looks like a change or possible bug in Xcode when creating a new Swift Playground. When I create a Swift Playground using Xcode (File → New → Playground), the project is generated without an Assets folder. I’ve reproduced this multiple times with fresh Playgrounds to rule out user error and the folder is consistently missing. Previously, new Playgrounds included an Assets catalog by default, which makes this behavior surprising.

Hello, I sent this in as a feedback several weeks ago about watchOS 26.2 beta 2 but since the issue is still active now that watchOS 26.2 is in production I'm reposting here for the community. I would also like to submit a DTS about this issue but honestly don't know the best way to go about it and would appreciate advice about that. There seems to be an issue with VPP distribution for our app on watchOS 26.2. When our watchOS companion app is launched after being installed through VPP to a supervised iPhone, it encounters a dyld error before main() or any application code is even called. The same app launches correctly in every other circumstance we could imagine and test: – Installed through VPP on supervised devices running watchOS 26.1. – Installed from the app store (using an apple id) on a supervised iPhone and paired watch running iOS 26.2 / watchOS 26.2. – Installed through Testflight on a supervised iPhone and paired watch running iOS 26.2 / watchOS 26.2. – Installed through the app store on unsupervised devices running watchOS 26.1 and 26.2. This strongly appears to be a VPP signing issue because we even did the following experiment: Install iPhone and Watch apps through the App Store on a supervised device pair running public iOS 26.2 beta 2 / watchOS 26.2 beta 2. Verify that both apps launch successfully. Use an MDM command to install from VPP over the existing installations Verify that the watch app fails to launch (the iOS app is unaffected) My feedback included some crash logs which I won't be reposting publicly here. Any feedback or ideas appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am facing a persistent and unacceptable issue with my individual enrollment in the Apple Developer Program that has been ongoing for nearly three months. Despite multiple attempts to communicate with Developer Support, I am continuously receiving the exact same generic statement: "For one or more reasons, your enrollment... couldn't be completed," with no clear explanation or actionable steps provided. This lack of genuine assistance and transparency is deeply frustrating and prevents me from publishing my application. Key Details of the Situation: Apple ID Region: Türkiye Current Residence and Address: United Kingdom (UK) Identity Verification: I used my Turkish passport along with my UK residential address. Enrollment Status/Error: After submission, I received the "Contact us to continue your enrollment" prompt. Case Number: 102720548696 Support Experience: The case has been handled by multiple support staff (Migeylis, Alex), all of whom have provided identical, non-specific template responses, failing to address the core problem. It appears the conflict between my Apple ID region (Türkiye) and my UK physical address/Turkish passport documentation is the likely cause. I am seeking clarification on whether this is a known issue for developers with mixed international details and what concrete steps are required to resolve this ambiguity. Has anyone in the community experienced a similar issue? If so, what was the path to resolution? I urge Apple officials to escalate this matter immediately and provide a specific, helpful, and transparent resolution. Every developer deserves equal and fair treatment in the enrollment process. Thank you in advance for any insights or assistance. Best regards, Onur

Hi, I am a new IOS developer, trying to learn to integrate the Apple Foundation Model. my set up is: Mac M1 Pro MacOS 26 Beta Version 26.0 beta 3 Apple Intelligence & Siri --> On here is the code, func generate() { Task { isGenerating = true output = "⏳ Thinking..." do { let session = LanguageModelSession( instructions: """ Extract time from a message. Example Q: Golfing at 6PM A: 6PM """) let response = try await session.respond(to: "Go to gym at 7PM") output = response.content } catch { output = "❌ Error:, \(error)" print(output) } isGenerating = false } and I get these errors guardrailViolation(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Prompt may contain sensitive or unsafe content", underlyingErrors: [Asset com.apple.gm.safety_embedding_deny.all not found in Model Catalog])) Can you help me get through this?

I've tried out a ParticleEmitter in Reality Composer Pro to produce a burst of particles that don't move (i.e. speed close to zero). When viewing from different angles, it clearly looks like the particles are rendered exactly in the wrong order, that is, front first and back last. In other words, back particles obscure front particles. I would prefer it the correct way around. I've only tried this interactively in Reality Composer Pro, not programmatically, but I assume I would get the same result. My Reality Composer Pro "File" (zipped): https://gert-rieger-edv.de/Posts/Post-1/RealityParticles.zip Screenshot: Click on the ParticleEmitter object, then on its Play button, then select the Particles tab and click on "Burst" a few times to get a few random particles.

With the release of the newest version of tahoe and MLX supporting RDMA. Is there a documentation link to how to utilizes the libdrma dylib as well as what functions are available? I am currently assuming it mostly follows the standard linux infiniband library but I would like the apple specific details.

When trying to use the MIDI Maestro app by Singular Sound, BLE peripherals experience unwanted connection-parameter renegotiation and disconnections on iOS 26, beta iOS 26.2 does not fix this issue. iOS 26 BLE communications are being sent too fast to be read correctly by the hardware device, and iOS 26.2 refuses communication altogether.

As mentioned in the linked post, I can archive the project locally but not via Xcode Cloud. I have also created a new project, but the same thing happens here. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/746210 Error Code: ITMS-90035: Invalid Signature. Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s). The file at path “{AppName}.app/{AppName}” is not properly signed. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing.

Hi, I have a recurrent problem with an Xcode workspace that I cannot figure out how to solve: When I command-click a symbol (or press ctrl-cmd-J) to find its definition, and when that definition is in a header file belonging to a custom static library, Xcode opens a header located in the derivedData folder rather than in the project's source codes. The exact location of this file is not in the main 'Build' folder but rather in a folder that seems dedicated to indexing: derivedData/myProject/Index.noIndex/Build/Products/Debug/Include/theHeader.h Consequently the file opened by Xcode is uneditable, I have to close it and reopen the source using another method. Even when the correct header is already opened, and I try again, Xcode reopens the wrong file so that it's opened twice with different paths. In the config file of the main application project, I reference the sources of these static libraries like this: HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = ${SRCROOT}/myLibrary1/Sources ${SRCROOT}/myLibrary2/Sources ${SRCROOT}/myLibrary3/Sources However, removing this doesn't fix the issue and I don't see any other related-settings. Any idea to fix this annoying issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm using one UITabBarController which leads to 6 NavigationController. Therefore the user will get 4 icons displayed and one icon with three points to see the rest of the Navigation Controller. If the user now tries to edit the list and moves one item from the hidden area towards the TabBar at the bottom, the App crashes with the error: Exception NSException * "Can't add self as subview" 0x0000600000d16040 I can see this effect at least on both my apps. If the same compilation is run on a older iOS version, there is no crash. Is there anything I have to take care of the configuration of the TabBar, when it comes to iOS26?

I created in my Objective-c project the AgeRange check for a special function. It is working well on an iPhone. Now I used my Mac and added my app to the TestFlight on my macOS Tahoe 26.1 Here it is directly crashing. But how can I debug an Application which is created for iPhone and iPad with Xcode? I cannot use the target myMac when running a debugging mode. So how is the debugging working for such Apps?

I am unable to activate my developer account. Have raised ticket, it has been more than 24hrs with no response.

Is the pseudocode below thread-safe? Imagine that the Main thread sets the CAMetalLayer's drawableSize to a new size meanwhile the rendering thread is in the middle of rendering into an existing MTLDrawable which does still have the old size. Is the change of metalLayer.drawableSize thread-safe in the sense that I can present an old MTLDrawable which has a different resolution than the current value of metalLayer.drawableSize? I assume that setting the drawableSize property informs Metal that the next MTLDrawable offered by the CAMetalLayer should have the new size, right? Is it valid to assume that "metalLayer.drawableSize = newSize" and "metalLayer.nextDrawable()" are internally synchronized, so it cannot happen that metalLayer.nextDrawable() would produce e.g. a MTLDrawable with the old width but with the new height (or a completely invalid resolution due to potential race conditions)? func onWindowResized(newSize: CGSize) { // Called on the Main thread metalLayer.drawableSize = newSize } func onVsync(drawable: MTLDrawable) { // Called on a background rendering thread renderer.renderInto(drawable: drawable) }

Hello, I am experiencing a layout glitch when using the new .navigationTransition(.zoom) in SwiftUI on iOS 18+. While the primary content transitions smoothly, the Navigation Bar elements (Title and ToolbarItems) of the source view exhibit an unwanted horizontal sliding animation during the transition. The Problem: As the zoom transition begins, the large inline title and the trailing toolbar buttons do not simply fade out or stay pinned. Instead, they slide to the left of the screen and when destination view is closed they slide back to their place. This creates a "janky" visual effect where the navigation bar appears to collapse or shift its coordinate space while the destination view is expanding. Problem video link:-

We are trying to port our code to Apple TV on tvosVersion 17.6 while running the sample we are getting error CoreMediaErrorDomain error -42681. We understand that this error occurs when the FairPlay license (CKC) returned by the server contains incompatible or malformed version information that the iOS/tvOS FairPlay CDM cannot parse. Can you please specify tvos 17.6 expect what fairplay version number or what fields are mandartory for fps version metadata ?

My app is currently using CLGeocoder to get a CLPlacemark, then using placemark.postalAddress with CNPostalAddressFormatter to get an attributed string for the full address, I then enumerate its attributes to pull out specific elements like just the street or state or zip etc. This is deprecated in iOS 26 with MKReverseGeocodingRequest being the intended replacement. This API returns an MKMapItem which doesn’t provide a CNPostalAddress - you can get a full address as a String but not structured address data that I’m seeing. Am I missing some way to get the postal address? Or is it a non-goal to provide that anymore? Thanks!

Bit of an odd one here, just keen to understand if it’s just me or a more generic issue. For all other apps, I can drag the icon from the dock to place into stage manager left, centre or right. However when I try to do the same with Safari (and only Safari), it just doesn’t work at all. I can repeat this 100%, has been an issue with 26.0, 26.1 and now 26.2. Can confirm this isn’t a problem on my 11” M4 iPad pro running same O/S. Here is a video showing the issue (YouTube) https://youtu.be/0WBGBZVHsfs

Hello- I'm new to this so I'm in need of some help. I've attempted to upload a number of versions of tiny apps I've been making to beta test with friends. However I am unable to install the app via TestFlight on my own phone and iPad. As I get the error message "The requested app is not available or does not exist." I've seen a lot of posts with the same problem but no fixes. I've been going through the Apple documentation and I can't figure out what I'm missing. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? I'm uploading to App Connect. I guess I'll try the straight to TestFlight option next. Any help is appreciated.

Hi; Here is a simple program that reads a file and counts number of 1s bits in it. The file it reads, simple.txt, is a static text file, resides in the file system, and nothing is touching it during the program execution. The file's length is 436 bytes. When the program is run in the terminal it produces consistent results. Each run counts 1329 1s bits. It behaves differently when run in Xcode. A simple command-line tool project having a single file. Running the program multiple times, via Command-R, produces something strange. That is each execution randomly produces one of two results. One is expected 1329 1s bits, another one shows 1333 1s bits. That is it counts four bits more. Again, each run randomly produces one of those two results. And it happens only when I run the program in Xcode. I tried a different sample text file and experienced the same behavior, but the difference in 1s bits count was five bits. Any idea of how this behavior can be explained? func countOnes(in byte: UInt8) -> Int { var nOnes = 0 var mask: UInt8 = 0x1 while mask != 0 { if (byte & mask) > 1 { nOnes += 1 } mask <<= 1 } return nOnes } func countOnes(in buffer: UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer, length: Int) -> Int { var nOnes = 0 for byte in buffer[0...length] { nOnes += countOnes(in: byte) } return nOnes } var fd = try FileDescriptor.open("sample.txt", .readOnly) var buffer = UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer.allocate(byteCount: 4096, alignment: 4) var nBytes = try fd.read(into: buffer) var nOnes = 0 while nBytes > 0 { nOnes += countOnes(in: buffer, length: nBytes) nBytes = try fd.read(into: buffer) } buffer.deallocate() try fd.close() print(nOnes) My machine Darwin MacBookPro 24.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.6.0: Wed Oct 15 21:08:19 PDT 2025; root:xnu-11417.140.69.703.14~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 arm64 macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) Thanks, Igor
