Overview

Hi all, I’m suddenly experiencing an old issue again and can no longer build my project to run on the local iOS simulator. I’m using a MacBook with an M1 (ARM64) processor and Xcode for development. Until recently, everything was working as expected. However, when I opened Xcode today, I noticed new build options such as ARM64 and ARM64 + x86_64, and I’m also seeing simulator entries running under Rosetta. I don’t recall seeing these options the last time I used Xcode. At the moment: Building for “Any iOS Device (arm64)” succeeds. Building for Rosetta-based simulators also succeeds (which I understand are intended for Intel-based processes). However, when I select an ARM64 simulator, the build fails with the error: “Framework Podd_App not found.” It appears that simulator builds targeting ARM64 are being restricted or misconfigured, possibly due to a corrupted setting or a recent update. Has anyone experienced this before, or can suggest which settings I should check to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hello Apple Bluetooth team, We are developing a real-time call translation system that streams raw PCM audio over BLE between iPhone and custom earbuds. This works reliably on iPhone 14 / 15 / 16, but on iPhone 17 (Bluetooth 6, N1 chip) we see severe and repeatable BLE packet loss, affecting both microphone uplink and TTS downlink. Our audio stream 16 kHz, 16-bit mono PCM 20 ms frames (~640 bytes) continuous bidirectional BLE streaming What happens on iPhone 17 BLE packets are frequently dropped entire audio frames are missing results in ASR gaps and broken TTS playback occurs even with strong RSSI and no RF interference Same firmware, same BLE protocol, same MTU and connection interval work normally on older iPhones. Questions We would like to know: Did Bluetooth 6 / N1 change BLE throughput, buffering, or scheduling? Are there new limits on sustained notify / write-without-response traffic? Is BLE audio now arbitrated differently against Wi-Fi / A2DP on iPhone 17? Is BLE still expected to support low-latency continuous audio streaming on iPhone 17, or is this no longer a safe assumption? Any guidance or new best practices would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Valenti Zhang

Switching alternative app icons previously worked in my app and I did not notice when it broke. However now the completion handler consistently returns this error if feeding with either an existing app icon name or a fictional one. Is this a regression I should file a bug report for or am I doing something wrong here? Include all app icon assets is enabled in the target Below you can see the error, the .icon files placed in the project navigator, my code and the top of the Info.plist Thank you Button("Update icon") { UIApplication.shared.setAlternateIconName("appIcon_Heart") { error in if let error { print(error) } } } Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=35 "Resource temporarily unavailable" UserInfo={_LSFile=LSIconAlertManager.m, _LSLine=113, _LSFunction=-[LSIconAlertManager iconChangeAlertTokenForIdentity:error:]} Xcode seems to create the correct Info.plist entries. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key> <array> <string>newReleasesBackgroundTask</string> </array> <key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key> <string>24G90</string> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>de</string> <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key> <string>Hörspielzentrale</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>Hoerspielzentrale</string> <key>CFBundleIcons</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key> <dict> <key>appIcon_Heart</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>appIcon_Heart</string> </dict> <key>appIcon_RedNoCircle</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>appIcon_RedNoCircle</string> </dict> <key>appIcon_WhiteNoCircle</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>appIcon_WhiteNoCircle</string> </dict> </dict> <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key> <array> <string>AppIcon60x60</string> </array> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>AppIcon</string> </dict> </dict> <key>CFBundleIcons~ipad</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key> <dict> <key>appIcon_Heart</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>appIcon_Heart</string> </dict> <key>appIcon_RedNoCircle</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>appIcon_RedNoCircle</string> </dict> <key>appIcon_WhiteNoCircle</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>appIcon_WhiteNoCircle</string> </dict> </dict> <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key> <array> <string>AppIcon60x60</string> <string>AppIcon76x76</string> </array> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>AppIcon</string> </dict> </dict>

Description: I’m encountering an issue where the Apple Watch’s watchOS version is lower than the deployment target specified in my Xcode project. For example, my Watch device is running watchOS 10.6, but my app’s deployment target is set to watchOS 9.6 or 10.6, and Xcode shows an error stating: Error: “watchOS version doesn’t match the app’s deployment target.” Could someone clarify how to properly handle this version mismatch? Environment: Xcode 26 iPhone: iOS 18 Apple Watch: watchOS 10.6 Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.

Hello, All new builds I upload keep hanging on processing. One is processing for about a day instead of a few minutes which it normally takes. Is this normal or is there some ongoing issue?

I have two apps stuck in "Waiting for Review" status: App 1: Submitted Dec 20, 2024 (still waiting) App 2: Submitted Jan 12, 2025 (still waiting) I've requested expedited reviews but haven't heard back. I know the holidays can cause delays, but it's been over 3 weeks for the first app. Has anyone else experienced similar delays? If anyone from Apple's review team sees this, could you check on these submissions? Happy to provide more details if needed. Thanks guys

Hello, My TestFlight build (version 1.0.4, build 10) shows as "Complete" in App Store Connect but does not appear in TestFlight. here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1su6cXk35X4bx2uzLW7aXIliAKKNfDYAe/view?usp=sharing Multiple uploads were attempted, and earlier builds processed successfully. Thank you.

I face this issue only on macOS 26 and only on the Intel architecture. I'm unable to download files from a file provider's folder when I make them read-only. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Download the sample from https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider/synchronizing-files-using-file-provider-extensions?language=objc Follow the steps on the page to configure the project. Build the project. Run it. Add a domain. Open the domain's folder in the Finder. Move a file to the domain's folder. Right-click on the file in the domain's folder and select "Remove Download". Close the Finder's window with the domain's folder and kill all the "Provider" processes to get rid of running instances of the extension. Change Item's capabilities in Item.swift to make the items read-only: var result: NSFileProviderItemCapabilities = [ .allowsContentEnumerating, .allowsReading ] Rebuild the project and run it. Open the domain's folder and try to drag and drop the file from the extension's folder to, let's say, the Desktop folder. EXPECTED RESULT The file is copied ACTUAL RESULT A dialog pops up with text "The file “filename” cannot be downloaded. Do you want to skip it?" Stop/Skip

今天上午开始TestFlight一直都是processing。

Hello All, I am currently working through ”Keep going with Apps” in Swift Playground. The section in the tutorial “Add a DancingCreature view” will not complete. I have tried to type it is as written in the tutorial and even used the copy and paste button provided. I have restarted the app and my IPad with no success. I have attached a screen shot of the tutorial prompt. Here is the code block: import SwiftUI import Guide struct DancingCreatures: View { //#-learning-code-snippet(varDeclaration) @EnvironmentObject var data : CreatureZoo var body: some View { SPCAssessableGroup(view: self) { VStack { ZStack { /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ ForEach(data.creatures) { creature in /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ Text(creature.emoji) .resizableFont() .offset(creature.offset) .rotationEffect(creature.rotation) /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ } } ZStack { /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ ForEach(data.creatures) { creature in /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/ /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ Text(creature.emoji) .resizableFont() .offset(creature.offset) .rotationEffect(creature.rotation) /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/ //#-learning-code-snippet(exp1) //#-learning-code-snippet(animationSolution) //#-learning-code-snippet(exp3) } } /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ .onTapGesture { data.randomizeOffsets() } /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ .onTapGesture { data.randomizeOffsets() } /*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/ } } } } struct DancingCreatures_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { DancingCreatures().environmentObject(CreatureZoo()) } } Device information: IPad Pro (11 inch, 2nd gen) iPad OS Version: 26.0.1 Playground Version: 4.6.4 Anyone else come across this? Thank you in advance.

I have (had) a view controller that does a bit of manual layout in a -viewDidLayout override. This was pretty easy to manage - however since introducing NSGlassEffectView into the view hierarchy I sometimes am getting hit with "Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints" and Appkit would break a constraint to 'recover.' It appears translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints is creating some really weird fixed width and height constraints. Here I wasn't doing any autolayout - just add the glass view and set its frame in -viewDidLayout. At runtime since I do manual layout in -viewDidLayout the frames are fixed and there is no real "error" in my app in practice though I wanted to get rid of the constraint breaking warning being logged because I know Autolayout can be aggressive about 'correctness' who knows if they decide to throw and not catch in the future. In my perfect world I would probably just prefer a view.doesManualLayout = YES here - the subviews are big containers no labels so localization is not an issue for me. Rather than playing with autoresizing masks to get better translated constraints I decided to set translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints to NO and make the constraints myself. Now I get hit with the following exception: "The window has been marked as needing another Layout Window pass, but it has already had more Layout Window passes than there are views in the window" So this happens because the view which now has constraints -- I adjusted the frame of it one point in -viewDidLayout. My question is - is not legal to make changes in -viewDidLayout - which seems like the AppKit version of -viewDidLayoutSubviews. In UIKit I always thought it was fine to make changes in -viewDidLayoutSubviews to frames - even if constraints were used - this is a place where you could override things in complex layouts that cannot be easily described in constraints. But in AppKit if you touch certain frames in -viewDidLayout it can now cause this exception (also related: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/806471) I will change the constant of one of the constraints to account for the 1 point adjustment but my question still stands - is it not legal to touch frames in -viewDidLayout when autolayout constraints are used on that subview? It is (or at least was if I remember correctly) permitted to change the layout in -viewDidLayoutSubviews in UIKit but AppKit seems to be more aggressive in its checking for layout correctness). What about calling -sizeToFit on a control in viewDidLayout or some method that has side effect of invalidating layout in a non obvious way, is doing things like this now 'dangerous?' Shouldn't AppKit just block the layout from being invalidated from within -viewDidLayout - and leave whatever the layout is as is when viewDidLayout returns (thus making -viewDidLayout a useful place to override layout in the rare cases where you need a sledgehammer?)

I'm currently collecting real-time heart rate data using HKWorkoutSession. I want to track when the Apple Watch is physically removed from the user's wrist during an active workout. However, I've noticed that workoutBuilder(_:didCollectDataOf:) continues to be called even after the watch is removed from the wrist. Is there a way to detect when the Apple Watch is removed from the wrist during an active HKWorkoutSession? Or is this tracking not possible through the HealthKit framework? Any guidance or alternative approaches would be appreciated.

Xcode Cloud builds are hanging forever at the final step, Prepare Build for App Store Connect. This is a common issue that requires some fix in Cupertino. Reporting this in the afternoon of Jan 13, Pacific Time.

Regarding App Update Synchronization During Workout Mode: My watchOS app has workout mode enabled. When I update the app from the App Store on my iPhone while a workout session is active on my Apple Watch, the update does not sync to the watch. Why does this happen, and when can I expect the watch app to be updated? Regarding Automatic App Launch After a Prolonged Shutdown: I would like my watchOS app to launch automatically on my Apple Watch after it has been powered off for an extended period and then turned back on. Is this functionality possible to implement? If not, please provide a definitive answer regarding this capability.

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with TestFlight where internal testers are not receiving build invitations, even though the builds have successfully completed processing in App Store Connect. Builds Status: • Multiple builds (Build 10, 11, 12) show "Ready to Submit" status in App Store Connect • Build 9 is in "Waiting for Review" status • All builds show "2 Invites" sent • However, the new builds (9, 10, 11, 12) are not appearing in TestFlight for the internal testing group Internal Testing Group: • Group name: "Test" (Internal Group) • 2 Testers configured • 7 Builds total in the group • The group shows builds 1.0 (2) through 1.0 (8) as "Testing" status • New builds (9, 10, 11, 12) are missing from TestFlight What I've Tried: Manually adding the internal group to the new builds using the "Add Group" dialog(the Add button is inactive) The system shows "2 Invites" sent in App Store Connect Checked TestFlight app on testers' devices - no new builds visible Waited more than 1 hour after builds completed processing Expected Behavior When adding an internal testing group to a build in App Store Connect, testers should: Receive push notifications about the new build See the new build available in their TestFlight app Be able to install and test the build immediately Actual Behavior • App Store Connect shows invitations were sent (2 invites) • TestFlight does not show the new builds (9, 10, 11, 12) • Internal testers have not received any notifications • Only older builds (2-8) are visible in TestFlight Additional Context • This issue started occurring today (January 15, 2026) • Yesterday, I experienced extended build processing times (builds stuck in "Processing" for several hours), which appears to have been a widespread issue affecting multiple developers • Once processing completed, the builds moved to "Ready to Submit" status normally • The internal testing group worked fine for previous builds (2-8) Questions Has anyone else experienced this issue with TestFlight internal testing today? Is there a known delay between adding a group in App Store Connect and builds appearing in TestFlight? Could this be related to the processing delays that occurred yesterday? Is there a way to manually trigger the invitation/notification system? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is blocking our internal testing workflow. Thanks in advance!

Your draft looks great! Here's a refined version with the iOS 17 comparison emphasized and slightly better flow: Hi Apple Engineers and fellow developers, I'm experiencing a critical regression with ShazamKit's background operation on iOS 18. ShazamKit's SHManagedSession stops identifying songs in the background after approximately 20 seconds on iOS 18, while the exact same code works perfectly on iOS 17. The behavior is consistent: the app works perfectly in the foreground, but when backgrounded or device is locked, it initially works for about 20 seconds then stops identifying new songs. The microphone indicator remains active suggesting audio access is maintained, but ShazamKit doesn't send identified songs in the background until you open the app again. Detection immediately resumes when bringing the app to foreground. My technical setup uses SHManagedSession for continuous matching with background modes properly configured in Info.plist including audio mode, and Background App Refresh enabled. I've tested this on physical devices running iOS 18.0 through 18.5 with the same results across all versions. The exact same code running on iOS 17 devices works flawlessly in the background. To reproduce: initialize SHManagedSession and start matching, begin song identification in foreground, background the app or lock device, play different songs which are initially detected for about 20 seconds, then after the timeout period new songs are no longer identified until you bring the app to foreground. This regression has impacted my production app as users who rely on continuous background music identification are experiencing a broken feature. I submitted this as Feedback ID FB15255903 last September with no solution so far. I've created a minimal demo project that reproduces this issue: https://github.com/tfmart/ShazamKitBackground Has anyone else experienced this ShazamKit background regression on iOS 18? Are there any known workarounds or alternative approaches? Given the time this issue has persisted, could we please get acknowledgment of this regression, expected timeline for a fix, or any recommended workarounds? Testing environment is Xcode 16.0+ on iOS 18.0-18.5 across multiple physical device models. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I am located in Taiwan and recently updated my Mac to the latest OS and installed the newest Xcode. However, I’m experiencing extremely slow download speeds when trying to add the iOS 26.2 Simulator Runtime (approx. 8GB) via Xcode > Settings > Platforms. It is currently downloading at a rate of only 500MB per hour, which is impractical. I have checked the official downloads page but couldn't find a standalone DMG link for this specific version. My questions are: Is there a direct download link (DMG) available on the Apple Developer portal for the iOS 26.2 Simulator? If no direct link exists, are there any recommended methods to accelerate the download? (e.g., using terminal commands or changing DNS settings). Any help or direct URLs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

HealthKit background delivery only triggers when charging. I have set step monitoring to hourly frequency. Despite step changes, callbacks fail to arrive after 3-4 hours on battery, but trigger immediately upon connecting power. Observed for 2 days: background updates are only received when charging. The device is not in Low Power Mode, and Background App Refresh is enabled for the app in Settings.
