Missing Content from my app
Hi there! I am not a coder, but I built an app in ADALO just for in-house use in my company, PetroImaging. The app looked the way I wanted it to in the preview mode in ADALO, but when my app was approved and ready for download in the app store, a lot of content was missing. Many buttons that linked to screens were just gone - even though they were there in the preview and the buttons are formatted correctly in adalo. How can I get my content that I need back on my app so the employees can being using it?

Is the new iPadOS/macOS 26 help icon available in SF Symbols?
Under macOS 26 and iPadOS, the Help menu in many cases has a menu item for "App Help". This item has the following icon: I need to use this in my own app. I am unable to find this icon in SF Symbols 7 beta. I've scanned all of the icons under "What's New". I've searched for "help", "light", and "bulb" and this icon does not appear. Does anyone know if it's even a new SF Symbol? Or does anyone know of a way to use this icon?

Public radar reports
Hello Apple community ! Not here to report an issue but I just wanted to make a suggestion ^^ I feel like a common frustration amongst developers is the lack of transparency over bugs filed on developer tools, SDKs, iOS versions, the whole Apple ecosystem really. This leads to the creation of parallel bug tracking tools (https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports?tab=readme-ov-file / https://openradar.appspot.com/page/1) or filing of duplicates for reports that may already exist and are being worked on. I feel like this would save time for both external developers that encounter bugs & Apple engineers that have to look for possible duplicates to share a common public database of issues. Other companies have this kind of system in place (Google for example : https://issuetracker.google.com/) so why not Apple ? Thank you

On Demand Resources as Legacy Technology
I read on this documentation : https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-uploads/on-demand-resources-size-limits that On Demand Resources a legacy technology. Does this mean ODR will be deprecated? If so, when will it officially take effect? Our application is planning to use it, so we need more information to support our decision.

lldb: argument starting with hash disappears.
Here's a simple C++ program that echoes its arguments... #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { for (int i=0; i<argc; ++i) printf("%d %s\n", i, argv[i]); } This works as expected... > ./test arg1 #arg2 arg3 0 ./test 1 arg1 2 #arg2 3 arg3 Running under lldb gives this... > lldb ./test arg1 #arg2 arg3 (lldb) target create "./test" Current executable set to '/Users/richard/Work/test' (arm64). (lldb) settings set -- target.run-args "arg1" "#arg2" "arg3" (lldb) run Process 6138 launched: '/Users/richard/Work/test' (arm64) 0 /Users/richard/Work/test 1 arg1 Process 6138 exited with status = 0 (0x00000000) I get the same if I quote the arguments, or if I add them to the run line. Stepping into main() we see the argv and args values are as though we only had the first argument. If I quote the second argument and add an initial space " #arg1" then it works. I first saw this on an M1 running Sequoia 13.1. It am now on OS 13.3. lldb --version lldb-1600.0.39.109 Apple Swift version 6.0.3 (swiftlang-6.0.3.1.10 clang-1600.0.30.1)

Testing Family Controls & Multicast Networking APIs - Educational Use Without Paid Developer Account?
Hi Apple Engineers and fellow developers, I'm a student developer working on an educational focus management app that helps users hide distracting apps during study sessions. The app consists of: macOS app: Simple "Hide apps" button that triggers app hidding sessions iOS app: Uses Screen Time API to temporarily hide selected apps from home screen Communication: Bonjour networking between Mac and iPhone for session coordination The Challenge My app requires two entitlements that aren't available with Personal Developer Teams: com.apple.developer.family-controls (for Screen Time API) com.apple.developer.networking.multicast (for Bonjour device discovery) Current Error Messages text Cannot create a iOS App Development provisioning profile for "focuser.focuser-app". Personal development teams, including "My Name", do not support the Family Controls (Development) capability. Provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls and com.apple.developer.networking.multicast entitlements. My Question for Apple Engineers Is there any legitimate way to test these privacy-sensitive APIs on my own devices for educational/learning purposes without purchasing the $99/year Apple Developer Program membership? I understand the security reasons behind these restrictions, but as a student just learning iOS development, it creates a significant barrier to experimenting with these technologies.

New Sequoia warnings on Terminal
After upgrading to the latest Sequoia on Intel, I am getting warnings like: 2025-02-07 19:01:13.576 Emacs-x86_64-10_14[3780:303891] +[IMKClient subclass]: chose IMKClient_Modern 2025-02-07 19:01:13.576 Emacs-x86_64-10_14[3780:303891] +[IMKInputSession subclass]: chose IMKInputSession_Modern on my own programs as well as others like Emacs. Is there a way to silence these warnings? They seem to be a bug in this macOS release.

Linker nondeterminism (ld_new) involving branch islands
Hi, I'm investigating what looks like possibly nondeterministic behavior when linking large iOS app binaries. I do not have a concise reproduction of the issue yet, but am trying to hunt down possible leads. In particular, the problem appears to surface when invoking clang to link a binary and the resulting order of the 'branch island' instructions appears to be random each time the binary is linked (as shown by the link map output). I was wondering if anyone with insight into the linker's current implementation could shed light on whether that is expected, and if there is anything that can be done to prevent it. FWIW, it seems like it might be size-dependent as smaller app binaries don't appear to exhibit the same behavior. I'd be glad to share more specifics and hopefully a reproduction if I can ever find one eventually. Some environment info (Xcode 16.4 toolchain): clang -v: Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang-1700.0.13.5) Target: arm64-apple-darwin24.6.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode-16.4.0.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin ld -v: @(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld-1167.5 BUILD 01:45:05 Apr 30 2025 configured to support archs: armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64 arm64e arm64_32 i386 x86_64 x86_64h armv6m armv7k armv7m armv7em will use ld-classic for: armv6 armv7 armv7s i386 armv6m armv7k armv7m armv7em LTO support using: LLVM version 17.0.0 (static support for 29, runtime is 29) TAPI support using: Apple TAPI version 17.0.0 (tapi-1700.0.3.5)

Xcode Preview Crashes: "xcpreviewagent crashed because Alamofire.framework is missing"
Question: I have created a workspace containing a SwiftUI app and two frameworks: B Framework: Handles UI components C Framework: Handles service classes I added a Podfile to manage dependencies. My Podfile is structured as follows: inhibit_all_warnings! workspace 'ABC.xcworkspace' def shared_pods # Shared pods here pod 'Alamofire' end target 'A' do use_frameworks! project 'A/A.xcodeproj' shared_pods end target 'B' do use_frameworks! project 'B/B.xcodeproj' shared_pods end target 'C' do use_frameworks! project 'C/C.xcodeproj' shared_pods end post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0' end end end After installing pods and building the project, everything works fine except for Xcode’s SwiftUI Preview, which crashes with the following error: xcpreviewagent crashed because Alamofire.framework is missing Question: How can I resolve this issue and make SwiftUI Previews work without Xcode crashing?

I can't understand that it's their any issue with Command Line Tools 16.3??

Can't install iOS 26.0 beta through xcodes or xcodebuild
I need to automate updating to latest iOS betas as part of my ci script, but I can't get it to install iOS 26.0 beta for the life of me, using xcodes or xcodebuild. I can see the version listed using xcodes runtimes --include-betas, and I tried sudo xcodes runtimes install "iOS 26.0-beta1", but I would get the error Downloading Runtime iOS 26.0-beta1: 0% Error: ProcessExecutionError()\ I also tried xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 23A5260l, where I found the specific build id on apples dev images website. But I would get the error iOS 23A5260l is not available for download. Specific version download failed, trying downloadPlatform ios latest... And similar error for trying xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 26.0 or other version ids I found online. But this command would work for any other versions and betas listed on the website. I was able to install iOS 26.0 through xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS, which automatically installed it for me, but this is unideal for my situation, as I want to control which betas to install instead of just the latest one (like iOS 18.6 beta that just came out). Is anyone else also struggling with these errors? xcodes version 1.6.2 Xcode version 26.0 Beta (installed and selected through xcode)

Problem getting Expectation objects (AI slop)
This is from an Xcode generated file. var values: [String] = [] let exp = Expectation() let c = pub.filter { $0 != nil }.map { $0! }.sink( The second line gives an error: "'Expectation' cannot be constructed because it has no accessible initializers". My best guess that Expectation objects come from some other Apple Swift Testing function, but I don't know where.
