I have installed Sequoia and Xcode 16 and now I can't add packages to my (or any project). I just get a message saying the package can't be resolved. Basically I can't carry on developing.
SORT THIS OUT APPLE
I updated Xcode and MacOS recently and haven't been able to compile my Flutter app on iOS devices/simulators since then. The error keeps changing every time I run it but here's one of the output in the terminal after running flutter run:

What I have tried so far:
Deleting iOS SDK and simulators
Cleaning Xcode build cache using cmd+shift+k
Creating a new Flutter project and trying to compile it (it failed so that reduces the chances of it being a Flutter issue)
Clearing the DerivedData folder
Clearing settings and cache of simulators
Restarting laptop
Versions:
Xcode: 16.0
iOS: 18.0
MacOS: 15.1 (didn't work with 15.0 either)

XCode 13 is super slow, build time is 10~20 times longer than Xcode 12。The worst release ever.
Xcode 16.2 runs well, but encountered the problem in Xcode 16.3.

I have a project I've been working off of for a few years now that makes use of local Swift Packages. In my workspace, I have a "Kit" project that generates a framework using several local Swift Packages as dependencies.
In Xcode 12, the local Swift packages resolve correctly and compiles, but each beta of Xcode 13 gives me the error:
"[ProjectName].xcodeproj Missing package product '[LocalSwiftPackage]'"
Clearing the package cache, derived data, or restarting the application does not resolve the issue. Only Swift Packages that are remotely loaded from a URL are compiled correctly.
Using local packages to separate module code, while still being able to edit in the same project, has been essential to my workflow and would hate to see Xcode 13 release with these breaking changes, and I have not seen this issue listed in the known issues for the Xcode 13 release notes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround?
I'm unable to download the Metal toolchain with Xcode. When trying to do it via the command line, I get the following:

I am using the latest version of Xcode 16, and I have created a GPX file in my project. However, I am unable to see or select the file to simulate the GPS location. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall Xcode completely, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? How can I resolve this? Thank you.
Hi there,
I uploaded an update bundle for the posted app, but I got a rejection message.
ITMS-90048: This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: [._Symbols]
The XCode version I'm using is 16.2, and I've been trying to find a route using Run Script and Finder, but I don't know what the hell it is about.
Does anybody know what could cause this issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
ChatGPT in Xcode 26.1 is super slow for me. What used to complete in a batter f seconds is now taking tens of minutes.
Context: M2 Pro MBP, Xcode 26.1, macOS 26.1. CPU stays under 50% while ChatGPT returns. Using the minimal setting. Tried restarting, have verified I have nothing running Electron, no other apps are running.
ChatGPT returns fast for the displayed content but the preview window where it renders code per line takes a few seconds per line.
I just submitted a feedback for this (FB9662125) but in the spirit of “share and enjoy”…
The cool new Generate Info.plist File feature in Xcode 13 crashes if you try to put an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary in your Info.plist file. Here’s a simple repro scenario:
Create a minimal iOS app (no Core Data, no tests)
Go to target settings → Info tab → Custom iOS Target Properties
Click the (+) button on any row to begin inserting a new row
Select Privacy - Location Temporary Usage Description Dictionary
Click somewhere else or press Return to commit the selection
Xcode crashes immediately
More generally, it seems that Xcode crashes any time it tries to regenerate your Info.plist file if it contains an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary, even if (for example) you manually pasted that dictionary into the file earlier. In that case, merely tapping the (+) button in step 3 above is enough to crash it.
I have a MacMini M2 machine running Sequoia 15.1 OS. On this machine, I am running a Virtual Machine, utilizing the Virtualization.Framework, with the same OS version, 15.1.
Logging into my account in the System Settings is successful. Next, I need to add my account in Xcode 16.1. While the initial login is successful, Xcode immediately displays the following error:
Decoding Error.
There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 401, 60 bytes) The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.
As a result, I cannot see any account information, teams, etc.
A very similar bug has been reported at this issue - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759877, but there has been no progress or updates there.
Is there any chance to fix this and get it working?
The Foundation Models Framework stopped working after Xcode failed to download the "Predictive Code Completion Model".
What happened was on macOS Tahoe 26.0:
Downloaded and installed Xcode 26 Beta (17A5241e)
Worked with Foundation Models framework. Everything worked fine. ✅
Opened Xcode 16.4
This triggers the downloading of Predictive Code Completion Model which then fails.
Go back into Xcode 26 Beta, Foundation Models framework no longer works. ❌ Error: "Failed to find asset: com.apple.gm.safety_deny.input.code_intelligence.base.generic - no asset"
What I've tried or checked:
Reinstalling Xcode 26 Beta
Uninstalling both Xcodes and only installing Xcode 26 Beta
Checked available space on drive (over 300 GB free)
Restarted Mac
Restarted Xcode 26
Changed wifi networks
Turned on VPN
Deleted the Library > Developer > Xcode folder and reinstalled Xcode 26

I am experiencing an issue where my Mac's speakers will crackle and pop when running an app on the Simulator or even when previewing SwiftUI with Live Preview.
I am using a 16" MacBook Pro (i9) and I'm running Xcode 12.2 on Big Sur (11.0.1).
Killing coreaudiod temporarily fixes the problem however this is not much of a solution.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I am unable to download the iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime through Xcode 26.1 on macOS 26.1 (Build 25B78).
Issue Details:
When attempting to download via Xcode Settings → Platforms, the download fails with error code 41 (DVTDownloadableErrorDomain) and error code 60 (MADownloadCannotConnectToHost)
The error message states: "Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime), serverParameters ({RequestedBuild = 23B80;})"
I receive HTTP 403 Forbidden when accessing mesu.apple.com/assets/
Steps Attempted:
Downloaded via Xcode Settings → Component → iOS 26.1 Simulator
Tried command line: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS
Searched https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ - iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime not listed
Tested with different networks (home WiFi, VPN, mobile hotspot)
Disabled proxy settings
Flushed DNS cache
All attempts result in the same error.
Important Notes:
Xcode 26.1 shows iOS Simulator SDK 26.1 (Build 23B77) is available
However, Xcode attempts to download Build 23B80, which appears unavailable
I experienced a similar issue previously with Xcode 16.4 requesting iOS 18.4 Simulator Runtime, which was also unavailable for download
Impact:
Without the iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime, I cannot develop or test iOS applications. macOS 26.1 requires Xcode 26.1, which in turn requires iOS 26.1 runtime, leaving me unable to perform any iOS development work.
Questions:
Is iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime (Build 23B80) officially released?
Is there a direct download link available?
Should Xcode 26.1 be requesting Build 23B77 instead of 23B80?
Is there any account restriction preventing me from downloading newer simulator runtimes?

I have an app on the App Store for many years enabling users to post text into clouds in augmented reality. Yet last week abruptly upon installing the app on the iPhone the screen started going totally dark and a list of little comprehensible logs came up of the kind:
ARSCNCompositor <0x300ad0e00>: ARSCNCompositor (0, 0) initialization failed. Matting is not set up properly.
many times, then
RWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to update pose [PredictorFailure] for timestamp 870.392108
ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to predict pose [1] for timestamp 870.392108
again several times and then:
ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: SLAM error callback: Error Domain=Slam Error Code=7 "Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data" UserInfo={NSDescription=Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data, NSLocalizedFailureReason=SlamEngineNodeGroup Failure: IMU issue: gyro data stream verification failed [Significant data drop]. Failed on timestamp: 870.413247, Last known timestamp: 865.350198, Delta: 5.063049, System timestamp: 870.415781, Delta between system and frame: 0.002534. }
and then again the pose issues several times.
I hoped the new beta version would have solved the issue, but it was not the case. Unfortunately I do not know if that depends on the beta version or some other issue, given the app may be not installed on the Mac simulator.
I've just downloaded "Additional Tools for Xcode 13" after today's release, and installed "Network Link Conditioner.prefPane" on my macOS Big Sur 11.6 (20G165).
But it just don't work. Every time I try to open it an error appeared.
Dose the tool only support macOS Monterey which Xcode 13.0 (13A233) dose not support?
BTW, the workaround for me is using the tool in "Additional Tools for Xcode 12.5"...
