Why is Xcode taking forever to install/launch app?
Ever since Xcode 15 and iOS 17 came out development has quite often been a nightmare of waiting and waiting -Xcode displaying endless circles saying preparing the device, connecting to the device, installing the device. But recently to add to this, installation and launching is just taking really forever. I'm currently running Xcode 15.1 and various versions of iOS 17 (I have several phones) and installing the app from Xcode takes about 7 - 10 minutes (compared to the same app installing in seconds with Xcode 14 for example). Then once its finally installed, it then takes further minutes to launch, Xcode often actually displays a dialog saying its taking longer than expected to launch the app, adding the footnote "LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols." What could be reasons, and solutions, for the excruciatingly slow installation time, and launch time? I really need to find a solution to this please - making a code change tweak, running, making another, running, making another, running, just isn't possible given the length of time it takes to install and launch each time. The iPhone is connected via physical cable to the Mac, and the Mac and iPhone are both on the same Wifi network. Xcode 15.1 M1 Macbook Pro Sonomo 14.0 iOS 17.2

Text filtering: behavior of current message is affected by behavior of past message from same origin
If there is this situation: A text message is sent from a sender and gets classified as junk (by a text filtering extension) with the result that it gets send to the spam folder as expected. A text message with different content is sent from the same sender and gets classified as allowed, however it also gets sent to the spam folder. If the above is repeated but after step 1 the message is deleted, then in step 2 the message doesn't get sent to the spam folder. So the presence of the message from step 1 being in the spam folder is having an effect on the behavior of step 2. Expected beahavour (if so, why?), or a defect?

What are the image requirements for the logo for Live Caller ID?
When Live Caller ID first came out I experimented with it and got it working using the Example PIR database. All my links from that time are now out of date and no longer work, however I seem to have found where the PIR database example and documentation has moved to (https://swiftpackageindex.com/apple/pir-service-example/main/documentation/pirservice/testinginstructionslivecalleridlookup) But what I can't find is an exact definition of the the logo size/max size/dimensions/format should be. My memory from that time is that it was very pernickety, and if things weren't exactly right, the logo wasn't displayed. I can remember the format had to be HEIC to get it to work. Looking through the documentation however, I can't see exact requirements specified. My question is - for the Live Caller ID logo what are the exact image requirements, and where are they documented?

Not seeing any AI/Agent options in Xcode 26.3
I've installed Xcode 26.3 on Sequoia 15.7.3 but I'm not seeing any of the AI options showing in Xcode that I see in usage/example videos. For example that AI icon in the top left hand corner isn't visible, and if I select Settings there is no Intelligence section, yet there is in all the demo videos. Why am I not seeing any of these new features?

Age verification again: What does "applicable region" mean wrt isEligibleForAgeFeatures
The documentation for isEligibleForAgeFeatures states: Use this property to determine whether a person using your app is in an applicable region that requires additional age-related obligations for when you distribute apps on the App Store. But what does "region" mean? Is this going to return true if the user has downloaded the app from the US App Store? Or will it go further and geolocate the user and identify them as being within a particular relevant state within the US?

Is it possible for an iOS app extension to support App Attest?
From watching the video on App Attest the answer would appear to be no, but the video is a few years old so in hope, I thought I would post this question anyway. There's several scenarios where I would like a notification service extension to be able to use App Attest in communications with the back end(for example to send a receipt to the backend acknowledging receipt of the push, fetching an image from a url in the push payload, a few others). Any change App Attest can be used in by a notification service extension?
