I downloaded package, I can see it in Package Dependencies tab, [swift-collections | https://github.com/apple/swift-collections.git | Up to Next Major Version] — looks OK. But (quite strange): import Collections //🛑 No such module 'Collections' typealias Objects = OrderedSet<anyHashable> // No error I took Collection word from a list or typed — no difference. if I remove import Collections there is no OrderedSet anymore (of course) Can't compile. Cleaned build folder, restarted Xcode... What could be wrong with it? Any ideas?

This post documents an issue I reported in feedback FB19610114 and see if anyone knows of a workaround. Here is a copy of the feedback. Short version Manipulation (SwiftUI OR RealityKit) fails to translate entities after changing rooms. By changing rooms, I mean a human wearing an Apple Vision Pro leaving one room and entering another room. Once this issue occurs, it impacts all apps that use these features. A device restart is the only solution I have to fix it. Feedback FB19610114 This is an odd one. I'm using the new Manipulation Component in visionOS 26. Most of the time this works well. Sometime it stops working and when it does the only way to get it working again is to reboot the headset. When this happens, I can continue to rotate and scale items, but translation no longer works. It is as if the item is stuck to a fixed point in the parent scene (window, volume, etc). When this bug occurs, it affects every app across the entire operating system that is using manipulation, including the RealityKit component AND the SwiftUI version. This is not limited to one app and is not limited to apps that I am working on. Once this error occurs, it affects literally any application across the operating system that is using this API, including apps from Apple. I won't speculate on the cause of this, but I do know of one way where I can always get it to happen. Here is how to reproduce it: Make an Xcode project with a single entity that uses the Manipulation Component. There is no need to customize the configuration of this component. The default implementation will work. Build and run this app on device. You can keep running from device or quit and launch the app like normal on device. Open the app and manipulate the entity - it should work as expected. Physically walk into another room. It is vital that you leave the current room that you are in and enter a different room entirely. Use the digital crown to recenter your view and bring your window or volume to you. Test the manipulation on the entity again - it should still be working as expected at this point. Physically, move yourself and your headset into the original room where you started. Use the digital crown to recenter your view and bring your window or volume to you. Test the manipulation on the entity again - you should now see the issue. When I follow the steps above, then 100% of the time manipulation translation stops working at this point. It will impact any application using this API. The only way to fix it is to restart my headset. A few points to keep in mind It does not matter if an app is actively being run from Xcode. When this occurs, it impacts every single app, not just one. When this occurs, rotation and scaling continue to work, but the entity/view cannot be translated. This impacts BOTH the SwiftUI version and the RealityKit version. When this occurs, the only way to "fix" it is to reboot the device.

Is it possible to achieve sub-second end-to-end latency when displaying live streaming video using APMP (Apple Projected Media Profile) with Wide FoV? APMP supports HLS playback, but my understanding is that standard HLS introduces several seconds of latency. I would like to know whether APMP (especially Wide FoV) supports Low-Latency HLS, or if there are inherent limitations that make sub-second latency impractical. If APMP is not suitable for this use case, are there any recommended alternatives within AVFoundation or related frameworks for rendering wide-FoV live video with very low latency? Thank you for any insights.

Xcode tells me Previewing in executable targets now requires a new build layout for unoptimized builds. Either set ENABLE_DEBUG_DYLIB to YES for this target, or break out your preview code into a separate framework with its own scheme. How do enable that in Package.swift. swiftSettings don't work (.define and unsafeFlags with -D ...). Creating a library product that the executable then depends on doesn't help either. I have two targets, one is an executable target. The #Preview macro is in the non-executable target.

I’m building an iOS SDK that is distributed as a binary XCFramework and consumed via Swift Package Manager using a binaryTarget. What I’ve done so far: Built the SDK using xcodebuild archive for device and simulator Created the XCFramework using xcodebuild -create-xcframework The SDK contains a resource bundle with JSON/config files The XCFramework is wrapped using SPM (code-only wrapper target) Currently, the resource bundle exists outside the XCFramework, and the host app needs to add it manually during integration. I want to avoid this and make the SDK completely self-contained. What I’m trying to achieve: Embed the resource bundle inside the SDK framework so that each XCFramework slice contains it Ensure the SDK can load its assets internally at runtime without any host app changes Questions: What is the correct way to embed a .bundle inside a framework so it gets packaged into each XCFramework slice during archiving? Which Xcode build phases or build settings are required for this (e.g., Copy Bundle Resources, SKIP_INSTALL, etc.)? At runtime, what is the recommended approach for locating and loading this embedded bundle from within the SDK code? Any guidance or best practices for achieving this would be helpful.

Hi! I have a bigger Xcode project that has multiple targets: the main app (MainApp) helper command line tool (HelperTool) The project also lists multiple package dependencies via SwiftPM and these dependencies have dependencies between themselves. One of such packages produces a dynamic library MyFramework which is a dependency for both the main app and the HelperTool which has it listed under Build Phases > Dependencies as well as under Link with Frameworks. This builds just fine, but the issue somes when I want to add another target called AdditionalHelperTool which it has pretty much the same dependencies as HelperTool. When I add this second target, I start running into issues like the following: Multiple commands produce '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/Versions/A' Target 'HelperTool' (project 'MyApp') has copy command from '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/PackageFrameworks/MyFramework.framework' to '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework' Target 'AdditionalHelperTool' (project 'MyApp') has copy command from '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/PackageFrameworks/MyFramework.framework' to '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework'` It seems that Xcode runs the build of both targets separately and it sees a conflict given that both targets have same dependencies that it's trying to built separately. Has anyone encountered something similar? Can anyone suggest a solution for this?

Can I use external Swift Package Dependencies for the challenge, or will my app just not run as the testing environment is offline? I have a couple dependencies which are crucial to the running of my submission

I am using swift-subprocess, and need to disable the SubprocessSpan trait because Xcode 26.2 does not ship with a bundled version libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib, causing everything to crash built with Xcode that happens to use Span. However, I cannot disable that trait by doing any of the following things: .package( url: "https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-subprocess.git", branch: "main", traits: [] ), .package( url: "https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-subprocess.git", branch: "main", traits: [.trait(name: "SubprocessFoundation")] ), Note that SubprocessSpan is default trait in subprocess: // Enable SubprocessFoundation by default var defaultTraits: Set<String> = ["SubprocessFoundation"] #if compiler(>=6.2) // Enable SubprocessSpan when Span is available [except it is not] defaultTraits.insert("SubprocessSpan") #endif The package still builds with the SubprocessSpan enabled. This is not an issue with the subprocess package. According to this, I should use swift build on the command line, yet this isn't -- as is upgrading to Tahoe -- an option because I need Xcode previews for SwiftUI. Help, what do I do now (other than downloading a toolchain) from swift.org)?

Hello I am using 26.2 (25C56) on my m4 air. when I am working on a Flutter project suddenly my app crashed and after when I tried to build the application again this error occurs. How to fix it. ? Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 16e in debug mode... Xcode build done. 2.4s Failed to build iOS app Uncategorized (Xcode): Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier: { id:45967BD9-44E0-4D5D-8C43-C5437F48836A }Available destinations for the "Runner" scheme: { platform:macOS, arch:arm64, variant:Designed for [iPad,iPhone], id:00008132-001E5102020B801C, name:My Mac } { platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device } { platform:iOS Simulator, id:dvtdevice-DVTiOSDeviceSimulatorPlaceholder-iphonesimulator:placeholder, name:Any iOS Simulator Device } Could not build the application for the simulator. Error launching application on iPhone 16e.

So I’m writing a program, as a developer would - ‘with Xcode.’ Code produced an error. The key values were swapped. The parameters suggested were ‘optional parameters variables.’ “var name: TYPE? = (default)” var name0: TYPE ============================= name0 = “super cool” ‘Name is not yet declared at this point provided with x - incorrect argument replace ExampleStruct(name:”supercool”) should be x - incorrect argument replace ExampleStruct(name0:”supercool”) ============================= In swift, there is a procedural prioritization within the constructor calling process. Application calls constructor. Constructor provides constructor signature. Signature requires parameters & throws an error if the params are not in appropriate order. - “got it compiler; thank you, very much” Typically, when this occurs, defaults will be suggested. Often the variable type. Ie String, Bool. such as: StructName(param1:Int64, param2:Bool) (Recently, I have seen a decline in @Apple’s performance in many vectors.) As stated before, the key value pairs were out of sequence. The optionals were suggested instead of the required parameters. This leads me to believe that there is an order of operations in the calling procedure that is being mismanaged. I.e. regular expression, matching with optional. This confuses these with [forced, required] parameters, and the mismanagement of ‘key: value’ pairs. this is a superficial prognosis and would like to know if anyone has any insight as to why this may occur. Could it be a configuration setting? Is it possibly the network I connected to bumped into something. Etc.. I appreciate any and all feedback. Please take into consideration the Apple developer forum, guidelines before posting comments. #dev_div

Hi everyone, I've been building an on-device AI safety layer called Newton Engine, designed to validate prompts before they reach FoundationModels (or any LLM). Wanted to share v1.3 and get feedback from the community. The Problem Current AI safety is post-training — baked into the model, probabilistic, not auditable. When Apple Intelligence ships with FoundationModels, developers will need a way to catch unsafe prompts before inference, with deterministic results they can log and explain. What Newton Does Newton validates every prompt pre-inference and returns: Phase (0/1/7/8/9) Shape classification Confidence score Full audit trace If validation fails, generation is blocked. If it passes (Phase 9), the prompt proceeds to the model. v1.3 Detection Categories (14 total) Jailbreak / prompt injection Corrosive self-negation ("I hate myself") Hedged corrosive ("Not saying I'm worthless, but...") Emotional dependency ("You're the only one who understands") Third-person manipulation ("If you refuse, you're proving nobody cares") Logical contradictions ("Prove truth doesn't exist") Self-referential paradox ("Prove that proof is impossible") Semantic inversion ("Explain how truth can be false") Definitional impossibility ("Square circle") Delegated agency ("Decide for me") Hallucination-risk prompts ("Cite the 2025 CDC report") Unbounded recursion ("Repeat forever") Conditional unbounded ("Until you can't") Nonsense / low semantic density Test Results 94.3% catch rate on 35 adversarial test cases (33/35 passed). Architecture User Input ↓ [ Newton ] → Validates prompt, assigns Phase ↓ Phase 9? → [ FoundationModels ] → Response Phase 1/7/8? → Blocked with explanation Key Properties Deterministic (same input → same output) Fully auditable (ValidationTrace on every prompt) On-device (no network required) Native Swift / SwiftUI String Catalog localization (EN/ES/FR) FoundationModels-ready (#if canImport) Code Sample — Validation let governor = NewtonGovernor() let result = governor.validate(prompt: userInput) if result.permitted { // Proceed to FoundationModels let session = LanguageModelSession() let response = try await session.respond(to: userInput) } else { // Handle block print("Blocked: Phase \(result.phase.rawValue) — \(result.reasoning)") print(result.trace.summary) // Full audit trace } Questions for the Community Anyone else building pre-inference validation for FoundationModels? Thoughts on the Phase system (0/1/7/8/9) vs. simple pass/fail? Interest in Shape Theory classification for prompt complexity? Best practices for integrating with LanguageModelSession? Links GitHub: https://github.com/jaredlewiswechs/ada-newton Technical overview: parcri.net Happy to share more implementation details. Looking for feedback, collaborators, and anyone else thinking about deterministic AI safety on-device.

This is a continuation of https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/795348 I rambled too much and did not understand the underlaying problem. The problem is that I have a C function in a iOS library. I want to call this C function from a dylib that this library loads on runtime. When running directly from Xcode (either in debug or release mode) this works correctly. However, when the app is uploaded to testflight or distributed for debugging then the function is stripped and a null function pointer exception crashes the app. In the last post it was really hard to explain and I was pressed on time but I've created a minimal reproducible example: https://github.com/ospfranco/dylib_crash The instructions to run and reproduce the crash are on the README.

Does anyone know if the resources .copy rule in a Swift .package file is supposed to recursively copy the full contents if it's pointed at a directory? The docs say… If you pass a directory path to the copy rule, the compiler retains the directory’s structure. …but you can interpret that in a few different ways. It also doesn’t appear to work if the directory you specify only contains directories.

Hi When attempting to upload a React Native app (version 0.77) we encountered the following error: ITMS-90426: Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit it. If to check ipa folder we can see that content includes only 2 folders: Payload Symbols Could you please tell us why it does not include Swift Support folder? We tried to use XCode - 16.2 and 16.3 Thank you

Hi, I've just migrated to Swift Tools 6.2 and package traits, and I'm encountering an issue when using traits with multiple targets in the same Xcode workspace. Setup: Main iOS app target App Clip target Both consume the same local packages (e.g., UIComponents) What I'm trying to achieve: Main app imports packages without the COMPACT_BUILD trait App Clip imports packages with the COMPACT_BUILD trait enabled Package configuration (simplified): // UIComponents/Package.swift let package = Package( name: "UIComponents", platforms: [.iOS(.v18)], traits: [ .trait(name: "COMPACT_BUILD", description: "Minimal build for App Clips"), ], // ... targets: [ .target( name: "UIComponents", dependencies: [...], swiftSettings: [ .define("COMPACT_BUILD", .when(traits: ["COMPACT_BUILD"])), ] ), ] ) In the code: #if COMPACT_BUILD // Excluded from App Clip #endif The consumer packages: Main app's package imports without trait: .package(path: "../UIComponents") App Clip's package imports with trait: .package(path: "../UIComponents", traits: ["COMPACT_BUILD"]) The problem: When building the main app target, the COMPACT_BUILD compiler condition is unexpectedly active — even though the main app's dependency chain never enables that trait. It seems like the trait enabled by the App Clip target is "leaking" into the main app build. I confirmed this by adding #error("COMPACT_BUILD is active") — it triggers when building the main app, which shouldn't happen. If I disable the App Clip target from the build scheme, the main app builds correctly with COMPACT_BUILD not defined. I am also able to build the App Clip separately. Environment: Xcode 26.2 swift-tools-version: 6.2 iOS 26.2 Questions: Is this expected behavior with Xcode's SPM integration? Are traits resolved workspace-wide rather than per-target? Is there a workaround to have different trait configurations for different targets consuming the same package? Or do I need to fall back to separate package targets (e.g., UIComponents and UIComponentsCompact) to achieve this? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

We are facing a DNS resolution issue with a specific ISP, where our domain name does not resolve correctly using the system DNS.

Currently, if as a library author you are shipping dependencies as code, you can use the #if DEBUG preprocessor check to execute logic based on whether app is being built for Debug or Release. My concern is more about the approach that should be taken when distributing frameworks/xcframeworks. One approach I am thinking of using is checking the presence of {CFBundleName}.debug.dylib in the main bundle. Is this approach reliable? Do you suggest any other approach?
