Hi there I've recently had my upload rejected in Xcode Organizer as a result of one of the frameworks we use containing bitcode. Error: [ContentDelivery.Uploader.XXXXXXXXXX] Validation failed (409) Invalid Executable. The executable 'Sam.app/Frameworks/Foo.framework/Foo' contains bitcode. Is there an accurate way to determine whether an .xcframework contains bitcode ahead of time without using Xcode Organiser? My current methodology is below, please can I get some confirmation that this is accurate, or suggest a more efficient approach? I have concerns about my approach and whether it throws false positives for empty bitcode markers. 1. get original framework size 2. run xcrun bitcode_strip -r framework_path -o temp 3. get new framework size 4. if new size is smaller than original, then it contains bitcode Thanks for the help, Sam

I’ve developed a virtual machine manager application using the macOS Virtualization framework. The application currently supports both NAT and bridged networking configurations. I’m now looking to implement host-only networking, where the guest VM can communicate with the host but not with external networks. Is this networking mode supported by the Virtualization framework, and if so, what is the recommended approach to set it up? Additionally, I would like to implement port forwarding from the host to the guest (e.g., redirecting traffic from a specific port on the host to a port on the guest). Is there a way to configure port forwarding using the built-in APIs of the Virtualization framework, or would this require a custom networking solution? Any guidance or best practices for implementing these features within the constraints of the framework would be greatly appreciated.

By default, it seems 15.6 is shipped with git version 2.39.5 (Apple Git-154) I was wondering when Apple will ship a Git version above 2.43 to resolve this vulnerability. Git Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) Vulnerability (CVE-2025-48384) https://github.com/git/git/security/advisories/GHSA-vwqx-4fm8-6qc9 You can install Homebrew then install newer versions of git using Homebrew; however that installs in a new location so the vulnerability is still present as the native version is behind and updated by Apple during software updates Thanks

Hello, According to the official documentation, the macOS Virtualization Framework currently supports only macOS and Linux guest operating systems. I would like to know if there is any way—officially or through a supported workaround—to run Windows 11 as a guest using this framework. Additionally, is there any indication or roadmap suggesting that support for Windows guests might be introduced in a future release, such as in macOS 16? Any insights or official clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all, First time trying to upload a game to the App Store, having some trouble with it. I have managed to build my Unity Project and get it onto Xcode, but when I click "distribute app" it is giving me this error. Asset validation failed, Invalid Bundle. The bundle at (app name).app/Frameworks/UnityFramework.framework' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'. Xcode version 16.2 Unity editor version 2022.3.30f1 Anyone know how to get past this? Many thanks!

I observed the following problem: A scientific code to perform Reverse Monte Carlo simulations (‘rmcxas’) compiled with the most up to date version of gcc/gfortran and Xcode including command line tools on Mac OS Sequoia 15.4 on a Macbook air with M4 processor generates the following problem upon starting it in a terminal: dyld[10154]: dyld cache '(null)' not loaded: syscall to map cache into shared region failed dyld[10154]: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib Referenced from: <0144F82E-003C-37A9-A544-9AE6336E549B> /Users/markuswinterer/bin/rmcxas Reason: tried: '/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib' (no such file, no dyld cache), '/usr/local/lib/libSystem.B.dylib' (no such file) zsh: abort rmcxas This occurs only about every 5th time the code is started.

Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and created an App ID with the bundle ID com.echo.eyes.voice. I am trying to enable Speech Recognition in the App ID capabilities list, but the option does not appear — even after waiting over a week since my membership was activated. I’ve already: Confirmed my Apple Developer account is active Checked the Identifiers section in the Developer portal Tried editing the App ID, but Speech Recognition is not listed Contacted both Developer Support and Developer Technical Support (Case #102594089120), but was told to post here for help My app uses Capacitor + the @capacitor-community/speech-recognition plugin. I need the com.apple.developer.speech-recognition entitlement to appear so I can use native voice input in iOS. I would really appreciate help from an Apple engineer or anyone who has faced this issue. Thank you, — Daniel Colyer

Hello Team! Recently we cleaned up profiles and renewed certificates under developer account, noticing profile expiration date showing invalid, it supposed to show certificate expiration date. Due to this I am not able to update or download profiles. Any one experienced this this? what would be the solution?. Thanks, Kumar.

Hello, I’m trying to test a Xamarin.iOS application using the iOS 26 simulators in Mac Visual Studio, but I’m encountering an issue where the simulators are not appearing or accessible from Visual Studio. Details: macOS version: 15.6 (24G84) Xcode version: 26 Beta 5 Visual Studio version: 17.6.0.80 Xamarin.iOS version: Xamarin.Forms (Version: 4.6.0.1180) using XAML for cross-platform support (iOS/Android) The problem started after updating to iOS 26 SDK. I am unable to select or run the app on any iOS 26 simulator from Visual Studio. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Is there any configuration or workaround to enable iOS 26 simulators for Xamarin projects? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully helping me. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/gdl-graded-darts-leagues/id1592502150 I created a mobile app using AppPresser that is connected to my WordPress website. The iOS app is logging users out when they close the app and go back to it. The login session does not persist, and users are forced to log in again frequently. This happens at any time period between closing and opening the app. This only happens on iOS — Android keeps the session active as expected. I don't know if I've included this post in the correct topic, sorry. Thanks again for any ideas and assistance!

Hello, In my IOS app, I have been working on implementing a third-party library's xcframework into my app. (They don't provide spm or cocoapods). However, whenever I import the XCFramework into my app, the build is successful, but when uploading to App Store Connect, I receive an email with an error stating the Swift Support folder is missing. This app was made using SwiftUI. I have a sample project linked below. Other apps also use this framework, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Project

Hello, I'm not a developer. I have an app in the App Store and an Apple Developer account. I have two questions: 1. I'm trying to find out exactly where the source code of my app is located - I can't. It should be in Xcode. There is only Xcode cloud in my account, which is inactive. 2. I want to find out what programming language my app is written in. How do I do this?

If I build an x64 binary on my M4 Mini, when I try to debug it using Visual Studio remote debugging the connection is closed, which means I cannot debug my code in x64 mode. I need to be able to do this as I have architecture specific code. I have Rosetta installed. FWIW I have the same issue with lldb-mi :( David

Good day everyone. I have a react native app which works on dev mode on my device - Iphone 13 pro version: 18.5, but when deployed to TestFlight and installed on same device it crashes when ever I click on any TextInput. I downloaded the crash file but finding it difficult to pinpoint the problem. I want to know what the problem is, if it's related to an installed package or code base or any other. Any help will be appreciated!!! Thanks. crashlog.crash

Is this a valid thing to include in the Info.plist file? If so is a category of public.app-category.astronomyvalid? I couldn't find that, but the categories I did find seemed very limited.

Has anyone here successfully set up macOS as a globally accessible, multiuser development server using native remote login (SSH) and VS Code Remote?

I'm trying to create a new build from VSC through EAS (expo) but it's failing and returning the error I'm attaching. I'm running the command eas build --profile preview --platform ios. I have an "App Manager" account, my colleague has the same role and he can do builds normally. I have other permissions and accesses ok, as can be seen in the attached picture, but apparently I have the issue in "register bundle identifier". Does anyone faced the same issue? How can I solve this? What step I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

One of the libraries that makes up my application depends on -undefined dynamic_lookup to link, and has since at least Snow Leopard if not earlier. I think iOS hasn't liked this for a while, but with the new linker I'm getting deprecation warnings even on OS X. I don't entirely understand what this flag does, other than it makes the build successful. :) So I'm at a loss on how to even approach fixing it. At this point, even links to useful resources would be appreciated, since googling hasn't yielded much beyond "remove -undefined to quiet the deprecation warning." FWIW, there is a bit of circular dependence between this library and another. On another OS, we need a carefully choreographed dance of building object files, then import libraries, then final linking to make this all work. So I suspect this may be related, but even if I'm correct, I don't know what would be the equivalent tools on Apple platforms.
