I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, maybe it's just "in development." I am running on Tahoe, but running the 27 beta. I created a simulator and asked it to run and it did, but claude had to jump through hoops to get it to actually display. The hub only shows my appleTV device that I test on. Simulators do not show at all. Even when running. Hints on what I am doing wrong? Is it because I'm on Tahoe? Known bug? Dumb user?

It appears that recording video of a device in Device Hub does not record the associated audio of the device. Are there any plans to do this? (Or a workaround that's easier than rerouting the audio output to an audio editor app and recording it separately?) It would be incredibly useful for making app demonstrations and tutorials.

It is not possible to log into my Claude account in Xcode 27 beta 1 for the coding intelligence chat. When I click "Sign In," the browser opens, I authorize, the browser closes, and that's it. Nothing happens. Xcode does not recognize the login. I'm on MacOS 26.4.1 (25E253) and using Xcode 27.0 beta (27A5194q)

Has anyone managed to get Copilot working using the new ACP integration in Xcode 26.6 and Xcode 27 beta? I have tried setting it up using the path to the copilot binary as instructed and the flags --acp --stdio but Xcode just displays a "Your request couldn't be completed" error: JSON-RPC global stream failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEIntelligenceProtocol.JSONRPCElement.Error error 1.) I am running the latest version of copilot cli and it works in many other IDEs.

Hi, I have listed below the Feedbacks for Xcode 27, please have a look at it, considerable time was spent on filing these feedbacks, thanks! Environments All of them were tested on the environment: macOS 26.5.1 (25F80) Xcode 27.0 beta (27A5194q) Feedbacks FB23133706 (Git stage tab) FB23132869 (markdown - code block) FB23132403 (markdown - search) FB23078039 (stash - slow / unresponsive) FB23077930 (stash - allow multiselection) FB23055381 (Run destination - Clear recents) FB23041713 (SwiftUI preview - SwiftData) FB23033844 (Bundle ID) FB23033231 (Device Hub - sizes)

I am building an interactive application. My application architecture looks like this: There will be a LoaderBinary that will load 1 or more shared libraries (.framework in this case). This is also where the entry point from an OS perspective lies. There will be 1 or more frameworks built. This framework is expected to have large part of my logic as shared code so that multiple flows like the application flow, widget, notifications etc can reuse code by loading this framework itself. Now, I want to achieve the following: Building a framework independently - I believe this is doable and works fine too. Building a mach-o binary - This is what we are not clear if it is allowed or not to build just a mach-o binary ? Yes, there is an option to build a command-line tool but as this is an interactive binary, what should be the path to take ? Building a macOS bundle (.app) using 1 and 2 - Now, as I have a PRE-BUILT framework and a PRE-BUILT mach-o binary, can I create a application bundle using these ? Some directions here will help to take this forward - in alignment with both my architecture as well as how Apple Build system works. Thanks!

Mac Pro 2019, Tahoe 26.3, Xcode 26.2 Mac Mini 2023 M2, Tahoe 26.3, Xcode 26.2 On Mac Pro 2019 the app is only Intel while on Mac Mini 2023 M2 it is ARM64 only. Both have Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel). Both have Build Active Architecture Only is set to No (Debug + Release). Happen for default new projet macOS -> App and Obj-C, Xib. No change to defaults setting except uncheck "Automaticaly manage signing" and "Signing Certificate" set to "Sign to Run Locally" HOWEVER On Mac Pro 2019, BigSur 11.7.10, Xcode 14.10 the application is build Universal ! Why cannot build universal with Tahoe 26.3, Xcode 26.2 ? Can I submit a Mac applcation to App Store Connect with BigSur 11.7.10, Xcode 14.10 ? What are the minimal version of Mac Os and Xcode to submit a Mac applcation to App Store Connect ?

I'm trying to let a few teammates build and run my app on their own devices, and I'd like to understand the correct approach for our situation. Setup We are a small team. Each of us uses a free personal Apple Developer team (individual Apple IDs, no paid membership yet). The app (an iOS app with a Watch app and a WidgetKit extension) uses App Groups and HealthKit. Bundle IDs: com.example.MyApp, com.example.MyApp.watchkitapp, com.example.MyApp.Widget. App Group: group.example.MyApp. It builds fine for me. When a teammate opens the project and tries to run on device, they get: Failed Registering Bundle Identifier The app identifier "com.example.MyApp" cannot be registered to your development team because it is not available. Change your bundle dentifier to a unique string to try again. What I've observed My other apps that have no entitlements build fine for every teammate. Looking at their embedded profiles, those sign with a wildcard profile (TEAMID.*). This app signs with an explicit profile (TEAMID.com.example.MyApp). If a teammate removes HealthKit and App Groups from all targets, the app builds for them under their own team using the same bundle ID. My understanding (please correct me) App Groups and HealthKit require an explicit App ID, which can only be registered to one team. Since I registered com.example.MyApp first, no other personal team can register the same explicit App ID hence the error. My questions Is that understanding correct — that an entitled (explicit) App ID can only ever belong to a single team? Is there any supported way to keep the same bundle identifier and keep App Groups + HealthKit while teammates build under their own separate personal teams? Or is moving to an Organization account (everyone as members of one shared team) the only way to share an entitled bundle ID across multiple developers? For free personal-team development, is the recommended pattern to give each developer a unique bundle ID + App Group (e.g. via per-developer .xcconfig), keeping entitlements intact? Just want to confirm I'm choosing the right approach before committing to it. Thanks!

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.

I find the inspector, file navigator, issue navigator, etc. all hard to read. Is there a way to increase the size of these texts without changing all of the text on my machine?

Hello, I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue in Xcode since version 26.0, and it is still present in 26.2. When using the split view to display two files side by side, the area in the top‑right corner of the window (the inspector / options panel) starts flickering continuously. This happens regardless of whether I’m using the light or dark theme, and even with the Liquid Glass effect disabled in macOS settings. None of these changes have any impact on the issue. I have already submitted a bug report through Xcode (Feedback Assistant), but the issue is still present as of today. The flickering makes the interface difficult to use and visually very distracting. I’ve attached a video to clearly show the issue. I will review the attachment at the time I publish this post. Thanks in advance for any help or feedback.

Since today (5th June), my Codex seems to be broken. First there is no response (wait for hours), now it just crash with this error whenever I issue a command: JSON-RPC global stream failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEIntelligenceProtocol.JSONRPCElement.Error error 1.) I have a ChatGPT Pro subscription and I don't know what to do. I have restarted Xcode, sign out and in of my account, delete DerivedData, restart machine, reinstall Xcode.

Last year, I changed my iMac i7 (2015) to a new Mac mini M1 with SD disk. I saw the difference, it was incredible fast...but now after one year of working on my project, I get freeze screen and automatic reboot I have 16Go RAM...and often more than 10Go for xcode ! I work with storyboard and I have more than 100 VC. Do I need to change parameter on Xcode to optimize or I must have now min 32 RAM. What is the best requirement for important project?

I'd like to use Xcode 27 Beta, for its Coding Intelligence features, on existing iOS 17 thru 26 production code. As long as I don't allow iOS 27 as a target, will I be able to use Xcode 26 to submit the Xcode 27 project files now to the App Store for distribution? I can imagine situations where Xcode 27 makes use of a new backward-compatible API feature that Xcode 26 balks at. Perhaps I'll have to watch out for that, unless there's a way to tell Xcode 27 to avoid it automatically?

I gave Xcode 27 Beta 1 + Claude Agent my app codebase and set it to work on reviewing the SwiftUI related codebase and suggest improvements in the areas view performance and SwiftUI conformance. I am extremely happy with the results I got. From my experience the Xcode backed Claude Agent is far more versed in SwiftUI related task than pure Claude Code or Claude Code + SwiftUI skill extensions. I was able to visibly increase the performance of several complex views in my app. In addition the Xcode backed agent solved a Liquid Glass related bug with view tinting that I was not able to solve with Claude Code before on its first try. However, in Beta 1 Claude Agent BURNS through tokens at a mind boggling speed. I perceive the agent as a bit to verbose in telling me what it is doing. Allowing the agent to start a simulator and use the app for exploration is setting tokens on fire. I hope that we see refinements in these areas before Xcode 27 is released.

I'm trying to use Codex via the Xcode interface, and I can not find a way to set the reasoning level. There are no settings to be found anywhere. What am I missing? I mean, I can continue to use Codex's own app, but I was hoping to use Xcode's new agentic interface, which seems superior to v26 and somewhat more useful. But if it's going to default to medium and I have no control over it, of course, I would continue using Codex's app rather than Xcode. What's weird, I get responses like this when I ask about: What's your current reasoning level and how can I adjust it? This session appears to be using the default reasoning level: medium. You generally adjust it outside my reply, in the model/session settings for Codex or the API request. Typical options are: • low: faster, cheaper, best for simple edits or direct questions • medium: default balance • high: better for complex debugging, architecture, tricky code changes • xhigh: deepest reasoning, slower, useful for hard multi-step work Inside this chat, I can’t change my own base reasoning level mid-response. You can still tell me “use high reasoning for this” and I’ll treat the task more deliberately, but the actual runtime setting has to be changed in the client/session configuration. So, it doesn't even know the level it's using or how to adjust.

The Menu command to create a new project based on a Package.swift file is gone. How am I supposed to do this now?

FB22844728 Xcode 26.5, macOS 26.5, MacStudio M1 64 GB The disaster of S-L-O-W T-Y-P-I-N-G that plagued Xcode several years ago returns. I guess all the ultra-advanced LLM neuroneirowebs still can't advise those at Apple who develop the Xcode app how to provide this uber-exotic, unheard-of functionality: JUST TYPING THE CODE. This disaster doesn't affect all projects, but it does affect the exact one I'm working on, and I need to type a lot of code there. Significant time is already wasted. I performed all the recommended steps like relaunching, restarting, and deleting deprived data with no effect. Hope something can be done about it..

It seems that the behavior of the .copy rule in SPM packages has changed in Xcode 27. This change now results in raw files being copied into the bundle without compilation, resulting in crashes and missing resources since uncompiled resources cannot be used by the OS. More specifically, in Xcode 26, when .copy was applied to resources such as storyboards, asset catalogs, etc. it would cause Xcode to compile those resources into the respective storyboardc or Assets.car before copying. Xcode 27 does not do this and instead copies the raw files. I do understand that there is a difference between .process and .copy, and the documentation does state that the process rule needs to be used for those files. Is this a regression in Xcode 27 or is copy not compiling anything expected behavior? Submitted FB23115950

In the video "Xcode, Agents and You" (direct link), the presenter asks for a walkthrough of the open project and Xcode presents a rich-text overview of the app's architecture, with color-coded diagrams and clickable links to the files it discusses. I can't get that to work when I try it, though. Is this a preview of a feature that isn't yet available in the first beta of Xcode 27? Is this because I'm using a local model or because it only works with a specific kind of model?
