When I try to compile with XCode an app that is about 10 years old gives me the following compiler errors in JSONModel.h header file. There are only 4 lines in that file. Content of file with the error messages. XSym <- Uknown type name ‘Xsym’ 0075 <- Expected identifier or ‘(’ a7b090c047283ff76fc7f1def7ba7425 ../../../JSONModel/JSONModel/JSONModel/JSONModel.h The app was originally compiled wit XCode 3.2, targeting iPhone 7 Now I am using XCode 16, targeting iPhone 12. Original coder is unaccessible. I am very new to this environment and any guidance / assistance is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if it is more appropriate to post this somewhere else.

When trying to use the watchOS preview the simulator fails to load and throws about 15 errors. Clearly the simulator is trying to load all of the iOS packages to the watchOS simulator. However, these packages clearly aren't included in the watchOS app. Furthermore, both apps build successfully to the main simulators, just not the previews. Having a list of errors that simply should not be there is a pretty big annoyance when something is going wrong. How do I fix this?

iOS simulator way slower to launch after updating to Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a). macOS 15.3.1 (24D70) MacBook Air M1, 8GB

I was my understanding that you're supposed to be able to open a .ips crash log in Xcode and see pretty much what you would see if the app had been running in the debugger when it crashed. But the addresses in my app don't get symbolicated. I opened the .ips in the same project and same version of Xcode that was used to create the app. The .dSym file is around, and I can use it to symbolicate using the atos tool. What am I missing?

I have this code: var eventIn = kevent(ident: UInt(self.socket), filter: Int16(EVFILT_WRITE), flags: UInt16((EV_ADD | EV_ENABLE)), fflags: 0, data: 0, udata: nil ) I looked at it and thought why do I have those extra parentheses? So I changed it to var eventIn = kevent(ident: UInt(self.socket), filter: Int16(EVFILT_WRITE), flags: UInt16(EV_ADD | EV_ENABLE), // changed line! fflags: 0, data: 0, udata: nil ) and then kevent gave me EBADF. Does this make sense to anyone?

Despite Xcode being the one and most used IDE for iOS, it is far from perfect. I have used many tools in my career and here are some features, that would make it much better or what I miss from other IDEs. I encourage others to chip in discussion and lets all hope, Apple starts to improve Xcode. Will put each issue in separate comment below. Slow debugger: not sure what bloat Xcode has or what it is doing, but sometimes it can take more than 10 seconds from breakpoint firing to actually see values. Moreover when debugging SwiftUI or something objC I have to drill down to see value of property or use po and p command and hope it works. SwiftUI views and states are a big pain to debug, to see what is changing a value I have to always use didSet trick or some other black magic. Is it too hard to make it easier? Breakpoints with condition can take up to 1 minute to load and I have M1 Max MBP. Just tried cursor IDE few days ago and breakpoints are much faster and without too much bloat in variable inspector.

Hey Guys , I think forcing people to download Simulator along side SDK will increase hude download size, is not a good experience for developers. Make simulator download optional and you can keep it ticked by default inside (Settings/Components/IOS XX.X Support) for beginner developers , but for advanced developer there should be option to untick it and reduce huge download size. If it doesn't result in huge download size,then we have took a wrong turn somewhere.

in xcode i have select the developer team. but show some error that is here, "Communication with Apple failed Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/" and show this error also "No profiles for 'com.kuntaldoshi.homeautomation' were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.kuntaldoshi.homeautomation'."

When working on a project, I would like to open a file from a previous project in a side-by-side window for reference, so I can view and adapt parts of the previous file into a file in the current project. I don't want the previous file to be part of the current project. Is this possible? If so, how?

I'm working on a macOS app that I want to give "Full Disk Access". When I run from Xcode, I get "permission denied" errors when reading a file in my home directory. What can I do so that I can run and debug from Xcode? I dragged the binary from the derived data folder to the System Preferences list for Full Disk Access, but that seems to do nothing.

Dear Developers, I am having some problems with Reality Composer Pro on Mac. Specifically, I don't understand how to manage some timeline functions. I have an object that has a double animation, an opening animation and a closing animation. On a first tap the object should open through animation 1, while on the second tap the object should close through animation 2. Only the two animations conflict. In addition, animation 1 does not stop at the last frame but returns the object to the position of frame 0. Do you have any solutions? Thank you all

I am so perturbed by Xcode's predictive code completion (PCC) - it operates like a 5 year old boy who constantly distracts me code by throwing up entirely irrelevant code sections even if there is nothing to complete. Even in cases where I have a long set of references (object dot something dot something etc), and PCC would be really handy, its list rarely has what is in the immediate scope of my source line as the first couple of suggestions. Additionally, its code suggestions (fully lines of code, structs etc) sort of skirt what might be possible mixed with code from elsewhere in my app. Quality of PCC is awful and at this point with CoPilot doing such a great job, chatGPT lose integration with Xcode, what is Apple thinking, are they serious about their hijacked AI term? I am open to suggestions, what (the heck) could I be doing wrong or should I refresh something. Right now I have turned off PCC, it is not helping.

I am using ARKit with RealityKit to scan objects using LiDAR on iOS. I can generate an OBJ file from ARMeshAnchors, but I am missing the texture export (JPG + MTL). What I Have So Far: Successfully capturing mesh using ARMeshAnchor. Converting mesh into MDLAsset and exporting .obj. I need help generating the .jpg texture and linking it to the .mtl file. private func exportScannedObject() { guard let camera = arView.session.currentFrame?.camera else { return } func convertToAsset(meshAnchors: [ARMeshAnchor]) -> MDLAsset? { guard let device = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() else {return nil} let asset = MDLAsset() for anchor in meshAnchors { let mdlMesh = anchor.geometry.toMDLMesh(device: device, camera: camera, modelMatrix: anchor.transform) // Apply a gray material to the mesh let material = MDLMaterial(name: "GrayMaterial", scatteringFunction: MDLScatteringFunction()) material.setProperty(MDLMaterialProperty(name: "baseColor", semantic: .baseColor, float3: SIMD3(0.5, 0.5, 0.5))) // Gray color if let submeshes = mdlMesh.submeshes as? [MDLSubmesh] { for submesh in submeshes { submesh.material = material } } asset.add(mdlMesh) } return asset } func export(asset: MDLAsset) throws -> URL { let directory = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first! let url = directory.appendingPathComponent("scaned.obj") if MDLAsset.canExportFileExtension("obj") { do { try asset.export(to: url) return url } catch let error { fatalError(error.localizedDescription) } } else { fatalError("Can't export USD") } } if let meshAnchors = arView.session.currentFrame?.anchors.compactMap({ $0 as?

How do I save an MTL file linking the OBJ model to the texture? How can I correctly apply the texture when viewing the OBJ in an external 3D viewer? I appreciate any guidance, including sample code or resources! If you have a complete working solution, I’d love to discuss further via private channels.
