Hi, The fonts / font sizes used in the developer forum seem so odd. Especially with markdown they don't fit well, it might seem Headings need to be more bold, they are thin now Please have a look at https://forums.swift.org, the formatting there is really nice Heading 1 (too thin needs to be more bold) I know these are little things but they all add up.

Overview When a project contains SwiftData and the Preview uses a in memory database, SwiftUI preview doesn't show the data Have a look at the ContentView preview Environment Xcode 27.0 beta (27A5194q) 26.5.1 (25F80) Feedback FB23041713 Please can you have a look at the feedback, it also has a sample project and screenshot

Hi, Platforms state of the union shows the following code: defer { await? log.close } Note: I understand await but await? seems new. Questions Is await? (question mark seems new) a new concept? What does it mean? Or is the question mark a typo?

Hi, Xcode 27 markdown rendering look fantastic, a big thanks to everyone who contributed to it. Truly such a delight seeing rendered beautifully!! I didn't see it explained in any of the Xcode sessions, if there are WWDC sessions or documentation on this please let me know. Questions Tables get rendered really well, how can I add or remove columns in a table? For links I noticed that I needed to add the link first and then title for the link later, or are there alternate ways?

Hi, On Xcode 27, whenever I create a new Project and select App, an untitled project is created. What is good: When I go on to save the project, the project name uses it to update target name which is nice. Problem: Every time it uses a placeholder team ID, I have to go and manually update the bundle ID and team. This could also lead to unnecessary provisioning profiles created with placeholder IDs. Proposal FB23033844 Xcode to use the last used Bundle ID and Team. This will be similar to how things were in Xcode 26

Hi, On Xcode 27, Device Hub, how to view the simulator with Point Accurate and Pixel Accurate window sizes? These are existing options on Xcode 26 Simulator, so would be nice to have them in Xcode 27 Device Hub. This would be needed sometimes to quickly measure things using a on screen ruler. Feedback FB23033231 If there is no option currently can you please provide options to provide to view Point Accurate and Pixel Accurate window sizes

Hi, I am planning to show the StoreKitError as alerts, I have corresponding custom Error so that I can show meaningful error messages. Reason I wanted to display error alert messages that describe the underlying error so that when in production and user faces this error I would be able to reason about the error and try to resolve the error in a app update or Appstore Connect change. If I display a generic error I wouldn't know the cause of the error, but is there is a security risk in display the following kind of messages? Proposed UI error messages: | Error | UI alert message | | ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | StoreKitError.notEntitled | App is not entitled to make this request. | | PurchaseError.invalidOfferSignature | Invalid offer signature. | Questions From a security / user perspective is it risky / wrong to show an error message like the ones pasted above? Or are there some errors I shouldn't explicitly state? Or is there a better / preferred approach?

Hi, Overview I would like to add a Swift Package to my Xcode project. Problem In Xcode when I select Project > Package Dependencies and Press + button to add a dependency it keeps spinning and doesn't end Points to note: Xcode 26.5 (17F42) macOS 26.5 (25F71) This is a private GitHub repository I am able to clone the Swift Package URL on the command line. Xcode has the GitHub account I am able to push and pull code on that GitHub account using Xcode My failed attempt rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm plutil -remove IDESwiftPackageAdditionAssistantRecentlyUsedPackages ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist I have removed GitHub account in Xcode and added it again I am confused if I am missing something very obvious, any help on this is much appreciated. Questions Is there any workaround or way to fix this issue? Why does this take such a long time when I have a specific URL, either it needs to add it or return that the package is not found. Why is it searching?

Hi, Overview I have a SwiftData project which automatically syncs with CloudKit. When I run the app, I see the following error in Xcode logs. Error updating background task request: Error Domain=BGSystemTaskSchedulerErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" My attempt I can enable Background processing (under Signing & Capabilities > Background modes), but I don't know the BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers to add in the Info.plist Questions How can I resolve this? If I should enable background processing, what are the BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers to add in Info.plist?

Hi, Overview: I get the following error when trying to save / read from SwiftData It happens when I try to save color to SwiftData (code below) Error 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release Questions How can I resolve the error? I am not directly using data, I am using just Float values, swift types. Why am I getting this error? Is there a way to add a breakpoint to stop at the exact type causing the error? (Symbolic breakpoint doesn't seem to help) Or is the below code ok and not responsible for the error? Code import SwiftUI nonisolated struct ColorRepresentation: Codable { let red: Float let green: Float let blue: Float let opacity: Float init(colorResolved: Color.Resolved) { red = colorResolved.red green = colorResolved.green blue = colorResolved.blue opacity = colorResolved.opacity } func color() throws -> Color { Color( red: Double(red), green: Double(green), blue: Double(blue), opacity: Double(opacity) ) } } extension ColorRepresentation: Equatable {}

Hi I have an Xcode project in which I am logging (os log) some faults when an error occurs. While developing I would like to notice it when the fault occurs. Questions Are there are better approaches to be alerted (sound or other means) when a fault occurs? My attempts so far: Add fault log and filter for faults Add breakpoint and play sound when breakpoint encountered Disadvantages with fault filtering: Though I can filter for faults sometimes I often need to look at debug messages. Having a lot of debug messages I am lost, yes I can filter but might forget to do it during every build Disadvantages with breakpoints: Sometimes I tend to delete breakpoints and might accidentally delete this breakpoint to play a sound

Hi, Overview I have a Mac app with a settings window. When I add a button it is added to the center. I want it on the trailing edge, I even tried adding it as confirmationAction but doesn’t work. Screenshot Feedback FB21374186 Steps to reproduce Run the project on mac Open the app's settings by pressing ⌘ , Notice that the Save button is in the center instead of the trailing edge Code App import SwiftUI @main struct SettingsToolbarButtonBugApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } Settings { SettingsView() .frame(width: 300, height: 400) } } } SettingsView import SwiftUI struct SettingsView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Form { Text("Settings window") } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .confirmationAction) { // Save button is the center instead of trailing edge Button("Save") {} } } .navigationTitle("Settings") } } }

Hi, Problem When playing videos on the Developer app on the Mac, there is no full screen button for the video. So it is not possible to play the video in full screen. Note I am not referring to the app going into full screen, the issue is with there is no option to play the video in full screen. Environment OS: macOS 26.2 (25C56) Developer app: Version 10.8.3 (1083.3.1) Feedback FB21343934 Recording Question Are others also facing this issue? Is there a workaround? Suggestion This seems to be recurring problem that seems get broken with app / OS releases. Please write some UI tests to ensure the full screen button is present. Would really appreciate if this gets fixed.

Overview I have a custom type Statistics that has 3 properties inside it I am trying to return this as part of the AppIntent's perforrm method struct Statistics { var countA: Int var countB: Int var countC: Int } I would like to implement the AppIntent to return Statistics as follows: func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<Statistics> { ... ... } Problem It doesn't make much sense to make Statistics as an AppEntity as this is only computed as a result. Statistics doesn't exist as a persisted entity in the app. Questions How can I implement Statistics? Does it have to be AppEntity (I am trying to avoid this)? (defaultQuery would never be used.) What is the correct way tackle this?
