Today when I went to add a package via SPM in Xcode 16.0, the "Recently Used Loading..." spinner ran and never stopped. I could not add any packages. The packages I am loading are remote and not from my own repo. I did a "Refresh Account" via the right-click which then shows items in my own hosted repo (for both Bitbucket Cloud and Github), but "Recently Used" just loads forever and there is no way to add a package. I tried all of the usual cache deleting to no positive outcome. I saw that others had to reinstall Xcode which I am loath to do. I wound up executing defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode which of course made me lose all of my settings, but that did correct the problem. At least I thought it did. However, after getting everything reset, it stopped working again with the above issue. In short, I found the issue is with Bitbucket Cloud. If I remove this account from Xcode, SPM works as normal. Add it back (all credentials are 100% fine) and I can no longer use SPM. Does anyone know why Bitbucket Cloud is now breaking SPM and more importantly what can be done to have this account but also have a functioning SPM?

I have an application that has a local Javascript file as a resource. I am also running a node.js server on the device. I need the Javascript to be able to read a file that is in the Documents directory of the app. I know that the file url is dynamic and I can provide that to JS at runtime. My question is whether it's possible for JS to read a file directly from the iOS directory or is this walled off for security reasons? When trying I have gotten errors such as [connection] nw_socket_handle_socket_event [C2.1:2] Socket SO_ERROR [61: Connection refused] I know libraries like Cordova can access files but I wonder if that is through native libraries that provide the file to JS in other ways. The short of it is to understand if providing a local url to Javascript will allow it to access the file system or again if this is forbidden?
