You're a hero!

I have verified that there is no top level repo and that each one of these repos are individual repos not contained in any other higher level repo. This was one of my first thoughts too, but unfortunately is not the cause. another user suggested that I create a workspace, and that has fixed the issue, but this feels like a workaround, and is hiding a bug with Xcode. no other project does this for me, the all only display info about their own repos in the source code navagate.

Creating a work space fixed the issue, thank you!

is this issue reported anywhere officially I can track or see it?

I have this issue too, it's definitely a bug. when running in development environment the sync happens instantly from macOS to iOS, it's perfect just what you would expect. then the app is deployed to testflight or the App Store the sync only happens after the app comes to the foreground. further more the app is getting remote push notifications from iCloud that data has changed, but is for some reason choosing not to sync?
