I have an Xcode project setup as follows: 3 static libraries 1 framework target, whose Mach-O type is set to Dynamic Library main app target (iOS app) The target dependencies are as follows: In framework's build phase [Link with libraries], I have the 3 libs statically linked. In the main app's build phase [Link with libraries], I have only the framework, which is dynamically linked. As per my understanding: The libs are statically linked to the framework. So, the framework binary would contain code from all the libs. The framework is dynamically linked to the main app (iOS app in this case). So, the main app's binary only has a reference to the framework's binary, which would be loaded in the memory at runtime. Assuming my understanding is correct, I'm stuck with the following problem: All 3 libs build successfully The framework builds successfully The main app target doesn't build. The compilation is successful, but the build fails with linker errors. Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly, or if a configuration is missing. Below are more details: The linker gives the following error: Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "StringUtils.GetStr() -> Swift.String", referenced from: dynamic_fw.AppDelegate.application(_: __C.UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: [__C.UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey : Any]?) -> Swift.Bool in AppDelegate.o "TWUtils.GetNum() -> Swift.Int", referenced from: dynamic_fw.AppDelegate.application(_: __C.UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: [__C.UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey : Any]?) -> Swift.Bool in AppDelegate.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) And the command shown in the logs for linking phase is: Ld /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.app/dynamic-fw normal (in target 'dynamic-fw' from project 'dynamic-fw') cd /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Desktop/dynamic-fw /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang -Xlinker -reproducible -target arm64-apple-ios17.5-simulator -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator17.5.sdk -O0 -L/Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/EagerLinkingTBDs/Debug-iphonesimulator -L/Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator -L. -L./StringUtils -L./TWFramework -L./TWUtils -L./dynamic-fw -F/Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/EagerLinkingTBDs/Debug-iphonesimulator -F/Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator -F. -F./StringUtils -F./TWFramework -F./TWUtils -F./dynamic-fw -filelist /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/dynamic-fw.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.build/Objects-normal/arm64/dynamic-fw.LinkFileList -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker @executable_path/Frameworks -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker ./\*\* -dead_strip -Xlinker -object_path_lto -Xlinker /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/dynamic-fw.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.build/Objects-normal/arm64/dynamic-fw_lto.o -Xlinker -export_dynamic -Xlinker -no_deduplicate -Xlinker -objc_abi_version -Xlinker 2 -fobjc-link-runtime -L/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphonesimulator -L/usr/lib/swift -Xlinker -add_ast_path -Xlinker /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/dynamic-fw.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.build/Objects-normal/arm64/dynamic_fw.swiftmodule -Xlinker -sectcreate -Xlinker __TEXT -Xlinker __entitlements -Xlinker /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/dynamic-fw.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.build/dynamic-fw.app-Simulated.xcent -Xlinker -sectcreate -Xlinker __TEXT -Xlinker __ents_der -Xlinker /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/dynamic-fw.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.build/dynamic-fw.app-Simulated.xcent.der -framework TWFramework -Xlinker -no_adhoc_codesign -Xlinker -dependency_info -Xlinker /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/dynamic-fw.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.build/Objects-normal/arm64/dynamic-fw_dependency_info.dat -o /Users/raunit.shrivastava/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/dynamic-fw-foqtqhpopkmoapfufzxbfloamnpr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/dynamic-fw.app/dynamic-fw

I've been messing around with converting my app icons to use Icon Composer. My app has multiple app icons, but I've noticed that I cant seem to set .icon files using the alternate app icon api. I believe this is due to the requirement that alternate app icons live in the Assets Catalogue but .icon files go anywhere in your project. Is there any plan to support this? Or am i missing something? I was able to successfully set a .icon file for the primary app icon.

Hi Team, I’ve tried downloading the EnableBluetoothCentralMatterClientDeveloperMode.mobileconfig certificate from multiple sources, but all the links I found point to expired versions. Could you please help me with the URL to the latest version of this certificate? Here are the links I’ve already tried, but none of them worked: https://project-chip.github.io/connectedhomeip-doc/guides/darwin.html#profile-installation https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/docs/guides/darwin.md Apple Site Looking forward to your support. Thanks, Mantosh Kumar

The project at hand is quite complex, and the link content is especially. I suddenly saw this warning again in recent days and wanted to inquire about when this deletion would be done, so that our team could make preparations and plan in advance.

Title basically explains what my issue is, from what I understand the only way to set an icon in an tauri app is using a icns file, I could be wrong but I don't know how to get macos theme changing stuff to work with it because of the icns file.

Hi, I am having an issue with xcodebuild -showdestinations command. Steps to reproduce: Create a new iOS application project in Xcode or use an existing one. Navigate to this project in a terminal. Run xcodebuild -project 'your-project-name.xcodeproj' -scheme 'your-scheme' -showdestinations What I expect: All destinations available in the Xcode UI should be listed. What I get: It depends. For new projects, I consistently get only generic platform destinations and my connected physical device. When I run the same command on an older project, I sometimes see all the expected destinations. It seems to be a roughly 50/50 chance between the two outcomes. Is there a way to get consistent results from xcodebuild -showdestinations? What can I do to ensure all destinations are listed reliably? Here is a more detailed log and a screenshot: ❯ xcodebuild -workspace 'WorkoutDiary.xcworkspace' -scheme 'WorkoutDiary' -showdestinations Command line invocation: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -workspace WorkoutDiary.xcworkspace -scheme WorkoutDiary -showdestinations User defaults from command line: IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES 2025-06-17 19:13:50.261 xcodebuild[34753:6177985] DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion. 2025-06-17 19:13:50.342 xcodebuild[34753:6177959] [MT] DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion.

I developed an app using Unity and exported it as an iOS project file so that I could package it in Xcode. Now, I’m facing an issue where users who previously installed version 1.0 are still seeing the old version after installing the updated version 2.0. Although the installation process for version 2.0 appears to complete (with the installation animation), the app still opens as version 1.0. I am an individual developer but used enterprise signing for distribution. I’m quite confused and have looked into the issue—some sources mention it might be related to CFBundleVersion, but modifying it didn’t help. I’d really appreciate some help with this. o(╥﹏╥)o

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

Hi there, I am trying to create my first iOS app using Visual Studio (Win 11) and .NET MAUI. I created a developer account and if I want to start the debugger with my local device, VS forces me to Configure Automatic Provisioning. I can select my configured account but the operation fails (see screenshot). I have no idea what is going wrong and I cannot find any setting in the developer account to fix this problem. Can anyone help me out, what is wrong and how to fix, thx!

Hello, I'm encountering an issue when trying to build and launch a Flutter app on a physical iOS device using Android Studio. Here is the full log: `Launching lib/main.dart on （iPhone Name） in debug mode... Automatically signing iOS for device deployment using specified development team in Xcode project: （Project ID） Running Xcode build... Xcode build done. 19.7s Failed to build iOS app Could not build the precompiled application for the device. Error (Xcode): Target debug_unpack_ios failed: Exception: Failed to codesign （Project Names）/build/ios/Debug-iphoneos/Flutter.framework/Flutter with identity （identity ID）. Error launching application on （iPhone Name）.` This only happens when using Android Studio. When I build the same project using Xcode, it runs fine on the same device. Background: I accidentally deleted all Apple accounts from Xcode recently. In Keychain Access, I had three identical certificates; I deleted the older two and kept the newest one. I suspect this may be related to provisioning or code signing, but I’m not sure how to resolve it within Android Studio. Any advice or steps to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I created a new test project in Xcode using the iOS > App template, enabled automatic signing in Signing & Capabilities, and selected my team.
 I then tried building and installing the app on a real device, and it worked successfully.
 This confirms that there are no issues with code signing or provisioning on the Apple side.
 Thanks in advance!

I am developing a Flutter app for food delivery (a multivendor e-commerce restaurant app). In the vendor app (Android), I successfully implemented a background notification that stays active until the vendor responds with either Accept or Decline. This works fine on Android, but I cannot get the same functionality working on iOS. My requirements: Vendor should receive a background notification. The notification should include action buttons (Accept / Decline). It should remain active until the vendor takes action. My questions: Is this possible to implement in iOS with Flutter? If yes, what is the recommended way (e.g., firebase_messaging, flutter_local_notifications, flutter_foreground_task, or native iOS integration)? Are there any iOS restrictions I should consider compared to Android background services? I built this for Android using firebase_messaging + flutter_foreground_task + flutter_local_notifications. On iOS, I tried setting up firebase_messaging and flutter_local_notifications, but I’m unable to keep the notification persistent with Accept/Decline action buttons. I expected similar behavior to Android, but it seems iOS has more restrictions around background services and notification handling. Dependencies I am using (relevant ones): firebase_core: ^3.8.0 firebase_messaging: ^15.1.5 flutter_local_notifications: ^17.2.2 flutter_foreground_task: ^8.17.0 get: ^4.7.2 shared_preferences: ^2.3.2

I have an iPhone 14 running iOS 16.1 and my series 5 watch running watchOS 9.1. I was able to turn on Developer Mode on the phone by going to Settings--> Privacy & Security --> Developer Mode. On the watch however (I'm doing this directly on the watch and not on the watch app on the phone) once I'm in Privacy & Security, there is no option to select Developer Mode. How do I get my watch in Developer Mode in order to get a successful build in xCode?

In the online documentation for InstallerJS, it is stated that the unit for the availableKilobytes property of the target field is kilobytes. Isn't it actually bytes because of a bug in the very first release of macOS that supported InstallerJS? [Q] Has there been a fix in the recent years regarding this property that would explain why the documentation says it's kilobytes? Even though at the time of this writing, the unit is still bytes when you call my.target.availableKilobytes I'm using this call to dump the value of this property in install.log: system.log(my.target.availableKilobytes + ''); Ref. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/installer_js/target/1811975-availablekilobytes (FB20448952)

We have a .ipa file that we need to side load on iPhone via USB connected to a MAC. IPA file will be on MAC. We can't use enterprise license. We have a business use case where we need to side load the app. Any way to do that or can be reach apple support for this? Please help. Note: The iPhones attached will not have the Apple ID logged in. There are companies who are side loading the app for business purpose on the customers phone.

I have a project inside the project structure. I have around 300 unit tests in the project. I see that for some of the subprojects, the coverage numbers show up correctly, but for other subprojects and the main project, the coverage number shows zero, even though the tests are running successfully. The log I get is: Aggregation tool emitted warnings: warning: /Users/ABC/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/projectABC-hfzmkbdgpiswoxfvvnvhrafaiqyb/Build/ProfileData/A8EEC1FB-1699-4C29-A88C-D3DDA226DBC0/0A416494-A393-4319-AA47-502D72084C9C-43351.profraw: raw profile version mismatch: Profile uses raw profile format version = 8; expected version = 10 PLEASE update this tool to the version in the raw profile, or regenerate the raw profile with the expected version.

Thank you.

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.

I received this message when trying to submit a build using Rork.com. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to fix it?

Hi, I have just updated my MacBook to Tahoe Beta 2, but now I cannot boot the iOS simulator. Where can I download the next Xcode beta? The Application download page is still showing the Xcode beta 1 build. Cheers, Jeff

Hi, is there a compiled version of MailCore.swift? I want to build an easy-to-use mail app for my mother, who is 97, has a MacBook Air, but Apple Mail is too complicated for her. chatGPT said I am too stupid to compile it by myself. Regards Stephan

We are looking for a platform or portal provided by Apple that allows us to track crashes, hangs, or other runtime issues faced by users while using our iOS/macOS application. This is similar to how we currently use Windows Error Reporting (WER) for our Windows application. Important note: Our application is not distributed via the Apple App Store — it is delivered through enterprise distribution or ad-hoc provisioning.
