I just had exactly the same issue. Thank you very much for the solution.

I had this issue today with an Xcode build on iOS 26.5. A subscription was made, and couldn't be remade, but Transaction.currentEntitlements was empty until I force closed the app and relaunched. I'm going to add some caching using the initial purchase product and not rely on Transaction.currentEntitlements alone.

I've just encountered this, running an Xcode build on iOS 26.5 The purchase was successful, but the Transaction.currentEntitlements was empty. A cold restart of the app fixed it.

I can't believe this is still an issue :( Come on Apple, we have test users that cannot test our app.

I found a fix. You can right click an entry in the catalog and select "Mark as Reviewed" and it will then create an en.lproj folder and file. In source code view you can bulk edit "state" : "new" to "state" : "translated" for all English values. On build it will also then remove "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value" from each entry and all strings will be in the en.lprog strings file.

I am also having this issue. All strings are LocalizedStringResource and the catalog correctly has all the English translations. However an en.lproj folder is not create when archived.

I managed to get it working on my Intel MBP. Xcode downloads the Apple Silicon version of codex, but you can replace it with the Universal one (And even a later version). I had codex CLI installed through brew, and it was installed at /usr/local/Caskroom/codex/0.104.0/codex-x86_64-apple-darwin I copied this file to /Users/darrenjones/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/17C528 and renamed it to codex. Restarted Xcode, and I could now Sign In through the Xcode settings. Restarted Xcode again, and I could even select the new 5.3 model.

Thanks for the tips, however I still can't get it to work. I've installed the codex CLI and successfully logged in. I tried logging out and back in again too. Whenever I open Xcode Settings -> Intelligence -> OpenAI -> Codex It says ChatGPT Account and there is a never ending spinner.

It seems to also be happening with the Claude Agent. I've installed the agent but when I click the ... and then Sign in With a Claude.ai Account, The "Not signed in" label blinks then nothing happens.

I'm having exactly the same issue. I can't test a purchase locally. Did you ever get it working?

I'm also suffering from this problem. Has anyone figured out a solution?

Turns out this was fixed by simply marking the completion block @Sendable. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764874?answerId=810243022#810243022

Wow, this was as simple as adding a @Sendable keyword! I posted about this last month here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/763790 I also submitted a bug report #FB15145734 as I assumed the block was being run on the incorrect thread which was out of our control. Happy to have this working now, but I do wonder is this still an issue with the function, or simply a Swift 6 compiler issue?

I have attached a sysdiagnose from my iPhone after the crash.

Did you ever figure out how to format the NFC tag?
