This is a major issue. After my iPhone 12 Pro was upgraded to iOS 26 beta 6, Apple's official Wi-Fi Aware Sample APP crashed immediately and couldn't be opened. It just force closes.
Has any developer encountered this problem?
Wi-Fi Aware Sample APP crashes on iOS 26 beta 6
If our sample code is crashing out of the box, it’s always worth filing a bug about that. It’s gotta be either a problem with the sample or a problem with the OS, or maybe a problem with Xcode. Regardless, it’s our issues to fix.
Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Hmmm, or maybe not.
I tried reproducing this in my office, but couldn’t. Here’s what I did:
- On macOS 15.5, I opened Xcode 26.0b5 (17A5295f).
- I downloaded a fresh copy of the Building peer-to-peer apps sample.
- In Signing & Capabilities, I selected my team in the popup.
- I chose my test iPhone 16 as the run destination. It’s running iOS 26.0b6 (23A5318c).
- I chose Product > Run.
- The app built successfully and ran on the device.
I did do a full test here, but it launches just fine, to the point where I see the Host Simulation and View Simulation buttons.
Please review my steps to see if I did anything wrong. If not, please repeat them yourself and let me know if you continue to see the crash.
