Hello everyone, I am encountering a persistent issue with Xcode where I’m unable to install my app on a testing device due to the following error message: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.SznYNY/extracted/iForC.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.) Here’s what I have tried so far to resolve this issue: 1. Ensured that all my certificates and provisioning profiles are current and valid. 2. Removed all related certificates from my Keychain and reinstalled new ones. 3. Cleaned and rebuilt the project multiple times. 4. Unpaired the device and paired it again. 5. Reinstalled the latest version of Xcode. 6. Performed a complete restore of my Mac. Despite these troubleshooting steps, I am still facing the same issue. I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences related to this error from anyone who has overcome similar challenges. Thank you in advance for your help!

Out of nowhere I got some red banner on top of my iPhone 13 mini / iOS 17.5. I cannot pin point the root cause of this. What I can say is that it only happens to Simulators of a certain type, e.g. iPhone 12 and 13 mini, but not iPhone 14 for example. I have installed Xcode 26.1.0 and 26.1.1, out of which 26.1.0 is selected: $ xcode-select -p /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer And following runtimes: $ xcrun simctl runtime list == Disk Images == -- iOS -- iOS 17.5 (21F79) - CF933623-A258-44F8-B248-C0F25C0C343B (Ready) iOS 26.1 (23B80) - D11C3CDC-EE3D-44CC-8B92-9B7D00B54B0B (Ready) Total Disk Images: 2 (14.6G) Installing the newer 26.1 23B86 runtime doesn't help either.

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to download the iOS Simulator Runtime 26.1 on Xcode (version 26.1). The download always fails with the following error Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 I’m located in Brazil, so I initially thought it might be region-related, but I’ve already tried several attempts to fix it, including: Using VPNs for the US and Europe Installing the Xcode 26.2 beta Downgrading Xcode to earlier versions Reinstalling the same version of Xcode Restarting Xcode and my Mac Switching networks Clearing simulator support/device files Unfortunately, nothing has resolved the issue. Is anyone else facing this problem? Does anyone know a workaround or a manual way to download/install the iOS 26.1 simulator runtime? Thanks in advance!

I can only see 18.2 here: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=simulator%20runtime%20ios But my Xcode is 26.2 and I need off-line installation for my laptop (WiFi is playing up).

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?

My inapp purchase is on "Ready to Submit" status but the button of "Submit for review" is grey out? Is there any reason why I cannot submit for review? Thank you very much

I am trying to create a new Xcode project. I am unable to open or create a new project, and am getting the error message "You don't have permission to save the file... in the folder..." and "Authentication failed because the credentials were rejected". I have confirmed I am signed in with the correct Apple ID. I have also confirmed through Xcode account settings, my account is in my organisation team, and I have an Apple Development Certificate and an Apple Distribution Certificate, both created 20/11/2025 (no status listed for either). Could someone please help?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what is true here - if I am not in the correct forum please direct me :-) A. It is not possible to test a QR code scan that contains a deeplink into my iOS app from an XCoode build test run. In other words, The build must be published to Test Flight for the iOS's QR code scan sub-system to be able to process the deeplink into my app? If I am wrong about this, it sure would help with testing to be able to test directly from the local XCode build test. If so, can someone point me in the direction of what I would need to do for that? Thanks for your input either way!

I'm new to Xcode. I just downloaded version 26.2 and I'm working on an iMac with macOS Sequoia 15.7.3. I'm created a playground with some very simple code and it crashes when I click live view. I tried looking all over online for a solution and nothing has worked. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode and still have the same problem. When running the code with the console open I do see the following error. objc[19786]: Class _TtC16AppIntentSchemas16AppIntentDomains is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppIntentSchemas.framework/Versions/A/AppIntentSchemas (0x2840a4c28) and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/AppIntentSchemas.framework/Versions/A/AppIntentSchemas (0x3276359e8). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed. I went to the first folder mentioned in the error /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppIntentSchemas.framework/Versions/A/AppIntentSchemas but I found no file called AppIntentSchemas. Here is the code I'm trying to run. import UIKit import PlaygroundSupport let view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200)) view.backgroundColor = .red UIView.animate(withDuration: 15.0) { view.backgroundColor = .blue } PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = view

I'm implementing the in app provisioning in a financial project. I got my entitlement identifier, I'm also implementing the wallet extension but I have the problem with Xcode. Domain: IXUserPresentableErrorDomain Code: 1 ... NSExtensionPointIdentifier key in the NSExtension dictionary in its Info.plist that does not correspond to a known extension point. But I'm not sure what does this mean, I reviewed the info.plist form the project and the wallet extension

Hi, I am a UI designer and a total newbie with coding, so I have been using AI in Xcode to do all my coding for my personal project. Everything was working fine until this morning, when I tried to run my app in the simulator (I didn't even change any code from the last time I ran the simulator) and now the simulator is crashing and freezing and I have been trying to fix it with the AI recommendations, but it seems way too complicated for me to handle even with AI's help. I feel like I need to talk to an expert and guide me out of this hole. Please help. Thank you!

We are facing an issue where we share the Taqeem app (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6692622292) but sharing is not working properly. Few iPhone gives image, url however few share only image as shown in attached screenshot. Also with our devices (iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro - especially Pro series) if we share any ad from our app, it is sharing only image and text + url that we share also not get shared. We were using regular code as below. So we believe that Share using UIActivityViewController is having an issue. Images are available at below links. https://ibb.co/RkG70NqH https://ibb.co/dJKBR9jc Code I used is as below. func shareDetails(shareText : String, shareURLString : String) { if let shareURL : NSURL = NSURL(string: shareURLString) { // If you want to use an image let image : UIImage = UIImage(named: "logo.png") let activityViewController : UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [shareText, shareURL, image], applicationActivities: nil) // This lines is for the popover you need to show in iPad activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = topVC?.view // This line remove the arrow of the popover to show in iPad activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.down activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = CGRect(x: 150, y: 150, width: 0, height: 0) // Pre-configuring activity items if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { activityViewController.activityItemsConfiguration = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.message ] as? UIActivityItemsConfigurationReading } if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { activityViewController.isModalInPresentation = true } topVC?.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) } } Thanking You

I have an orphaned asset folder taking up 9.13GB located at: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime/c0d3fd05106683ba0b3680d4d1afec65f098d700.asset It contains SimulatorRuntimeAsset version 18.5 (Build 22F77). Active Version: My current Xcode setup is using version 26.2 (Build 23C54). I checked the plist files in the directory and found what seems to be the cause of the issue: The "Never Collected" Flag: The Info.plist inside the orphaned asset folder explicitly sets the garbage collection behavior to "NeverCollected": <key>__AssetDefaultGarbageCollectionBehavior</key> <string>NeverCollected</string> The Catalog Mismatch: The master catalog file (com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime.xml) in the parent directory only lists the new version (26.2). Because the old version (18.5) is missing from this XML, Xcode and mobileassetd seem to have lost track of it entirely. What I Have Tried (All Failed) Xcode Components: The version 18.5 does not appear in Settings -> Components, so I cannot delete it via the GUI. Simctl: xcrun simctl list runtimes does not list this version. Running xcrun simctl runtime delete 22F77 fails with: "No runtime disk images or bundles found matching '22F77'." Manual Deletion: sudo rm -rf [path] fails with "Operation not permitted", presumably because /System/Library/AssetsV2 is SIP-protected. Third-party Tools: Apps like DevCleaner do not detect this runtime (likely because they only scan ~/Library or /Library, not /System/Library). Has anyone found a way to force the system (perhaps via mobileassetd or a specific xcrun flag) to re-evaluate this folder and respect a deletion request? I am trying to avoid booting into Recovery Mode just to delete a cache file. Any insights on how AssetsV2 handles these "orphaned" files would be appreciated.

Hi, I’m seeing an unexpected change in how XCTFail behaves in UI tests after updating Xcode. I use the following helper method: `func waitForExistance(file: StaticString, line: UInt) -> Self { if !(element.exists || element.waitForExistence(timeout: Configuration.current.predicateTimeout)) { XCTFail("couldn't find element: \(element) after \(Configuration.current.predicateTimeout) seconds", file: file, line: line) return self } else { return self } }` In Xcode 16.4, this worked as expected: – when an element wasn’t found, XCTFail was triggered, but the test continued running, allowing my retry logic to execute. After updating to Xcode 26.1 / 26.2 - the test now immediately aborts after XCTFail, without executing the next retry. The logs show: `t = 113.22s Tear Down t = 113.22s Terminate com.viessmann.care:81789 *** Assertion failure in -[UITests.Tests _caughtUnhandledDeveloperExceptionPermittingControlFlowInterruptions:caughtInterruptionException:whileExecutingBlock:], XCTestCase+IssueHandling.m:273 Test Case '-[UITests.Tests test_case]' failed (114.323 seconds). Flushing outgoing messages to the IDE with timeout 600.00s Received confirmation that IDE processed remaining outgoing messages` It looks like XCTFail in Xcode 26 is now treated as an unhandled developer exception, which stops the test execution immediately, even when it’s called inside a helper method. This was not the case in earlier versions. My questions: Is this a regression in XCTest? Or an intentional change in how XCTFail behaves in newer Xcode versions? Should failures now be reported differently (e.g., using record(.init(type: .assertionFailure, …))) if I want to continue the test instead of aborting it? I would like to restore the previous behavior where the failure is logged without terminating the entire test, so my retry mechanism can still run. Has anyone else run into this after upgrading? Thanks in advance! If you’d like, I can also add recommended workarounds that actually work with Xcode 16.4 (e.g., replacing XCTFail with a non-terminating issue record).

I have ios UI tests that are build with command xcodebuild -workspace ... -scheme ... -configuration ... -derivedDataPath ... -destination ... -testPlan ... build-for-testing Then I run them with xcodebuild -destination ... -resultBundlePath ... -parallel-testing-worker-count ... -xctestrun ... test-without-building I also have following settings in testplan "maximumTestRepetitions" : 3, "testRepetitionMode" : "retryOnFailure", With xcode 16.4 tests were retried on failure up to 3 times, but migrating to xcode 26.2 seems to change this behavior and tests are no longer retried. Is it expected behaviour and I should manually add params like -test-iterations 3 -retry-tests-on-failure into xcodebuild test-without-building command?

I wrote my own framework and it uses some OpenGL calls, I have my own direct replacements for these calls. But Xcode complains when I try to integrate these calls into a NSApp that all of these calls are deprecated. It must be in some module that Appkit or Cocoa uses to include all the headers as I went through and eliminated all potential references. I could just encapsulate all of this in a separate C or C++ file, but I would rather write it all in Obj-C. I know it's just a warning, but I like to treat warnings as errors to catch as many bugs as possible.

Setup: I have a segment view with 3 segments, and the last on (at index 2) is disabled. Issue: When I drag the liquid glass handle of the segment view from what was previously selected to the disabled segment, the liquid glass handle freezes mid-air. Workaround: I can still interact with the handle and manually restore its position, or tap on any other segment to restore its position. Notes: I'm using UIKit, and no extra customizations are applied. class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var segmentView: UISegmentedControl! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() segmentView.removeAllSegments() let segments = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"] for (index, title) in segments.enumerated() { segmentView.insertSegment(withTitle: title, at: index, animated: false) } // Select the first one by default segmentView.selectedSegmentIndex = 0 // Disable the last segment segmentView.setEnabled(false, forSegmentAt: 2) } }

I am building a framework and an app, the framework is a dependent on the app so that works.. But within the app I can't use #import <OpenGL_4_6/OpenGL_4_6.h> But I have to use #import "OpenGL_4_6/OpenGL_4_6.h" I can see the framework being built its in a directory that I can't seem to express with the $ macros for Xcode Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MGL-bpbwpidwnbulrxgcndprcdmfrosb/Build/Products/Debug I tried to set my framework search path to this.. but to no avail.
