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.

Ever since Xcode 15 and iOS 17 came out development has quite often been a nightmare of waiting and waiting -Xcode displaying endless circles saying preparing the device, connecting to the device, installing the device.
But recently to add to this, installation and launching is just taking really forever.
I'm currently running Xcode 15.1 and various versions of iOS 17 (I have several phones) and installing the app from Xcode takes about 7 - 10 minutes (compared to the same app installing in seconds with Xcode 14 for example).
Then once its finally installed, it then takes further minutes to launch, Xcode often actually displays a dialog saying its taking longer than expected to launch the app, adding the footnote "LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols."
What could be reasons, and solutions, for the excruciatingly slow installation time, and launch time?
I really need to find a solution to this please - making a code change tweak, running, making another, running, making another, running, just isn't possible given the length of time it takes to install and launch each time.
The iPhone is connected via physical cable to the Mac, and the Mac and iPhone are both on the same Wifi network.

Hi,
I just migrated from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16.3 RC. When I run my app on any simulator, iOS 17 or iOS 18, I seeing strange behavior the second time I launch the app. The app uses a few frameworks, such as Firebase Crashlytics, and the network calls all work fine on the initial launch. however, subsequent launches consistently get the following error:
Task <17ACD3D4-FB31-4091-A797-D573F31909C2>.<2> finished with error [-1001] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000c46910 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1001 "(null)" UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask <17ACD3D4-FB31-4091-A797-D573F31909C2>.<2>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=(
"LocalDataTask <17ACD3D4-FB31-4091-A797-D573F31909C2>.<2>"
), NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out.,
The only way to run again on that simulator is to Erase All Content and Settings. I did not see this issue in Xcode 16, and my app has been in production for over a year without networking issues.
Pushing to my phone works fine.
Running on MacBook Pro apple silicon - Sequoia 15.3.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I'm trying to write performance tests with Xcode 15, but it's not working: even though setting a baseline seems to work (baseline data files are created), Xcode seems to ignore that baseline altogether whenever the test is run. As a result, performance tests never fail, no matter how bad performance gets.
The source editor persistently displays a “No baseline average for Time” message.
Has anyone else encountered this? Figured out how to sidestep the issue?
Of note, the issue is easily reproduced: create a new (macOS in my case) app project with tests, add a dummy performance test; run the test once and save its baseline, and despite this subsequent tests will always succeed, even if you significantly slow the dummy test down.

I recently switched to Mac OS 12 and XCode 13. I did some work on my application and rebuilt it. Now there is no Help Book. I didn't change the property lists and everything looks right. When I open the Help Book the application either opens a window with a message that the content is currently unavailable or it opens a Help Book window with no content. When this second thing happens the log window shows "entering AHRegistered help Book" but it doesn't appear. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello,
we are struggling for hours with the following issue: I have an individual developer account and since yesterday I'm member of developer team with an own organization account.
I have access to an app in the team account as an "App-Manager", also the option "Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" is activated and I can see that it is activated for my account in AppstoreConnect.
In "Apple Developer" I can also see the team and can switch to. But then I do not see the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" menu entry. Also the team is not showing up in XCode.
What am I missing?
Thanks and regards
Philipp

Hello. In the Xcode 15 we were using this command in the terminal to run our tests on the Rosetta Simulator:
xcodebuild -workspace CoreLibraries.xcworkspace -scheme CoreLibraries -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15,arch=x86_64' test`
In the Xcode 16 the same command doesn't work anymore. It produces the error:
xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier:
{ platform:iOS Simulator, arch:x86_64, OS:latest, name:iPhone 16 }
Unsupported device specifier option.
The device “iPhone 16” does not support the following options: arch
Please supply only supported device specifier options.
Running test directly from the Xcode UI using iPhone 16 (Rosetta) still works fine.
Does anyone know how to modify the xcodebuild command to make it work again?
Hello everyone!
When I run UI Tests on Xcode Cloud, I often encounter unexpected failures. Checking the screen recording, I found that the iOS Simulator could go into a black screen with a white Apple logo and a progress bar for a period after the test starts. This behavior of the Simulator causes my app's UI Tests to fail randomly, which greatly affects the practical use of UI Tests.
I suspect this phenomenon is unrelated to my app and test cases, so I'm asking if anyone else has encountered a similar issue. 🤔
An internal error occurs when executing the xcodebuild -list command targeting a Swift Package. This behavior is new in Xcode 16.3 and was not present in the previous version, Xcode 16.2.

xcresulttool merge appears to crash immediately after launch in Xcode 26.1 (and in 26.2b1).
It does so regardless of any inputs passed in; the crash appears to be during argument parsing before any other logic is run, so it's not contingent on inputs.
Working example from 26.0.1 (passing in arbitrary strings for a minimum-reproducible-case, so we expect to see an error message) :
% /Applications/Xcode-26.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c
Error: File or directory doesn't exist at path: b.
Usage: xcresulttool <subcommand>
See 'xcresulttool --help' for more information.
The same example crashes in 26.1:
/Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c
zsh: trace trap /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge
Again, this does crash in real use cases as well, the arbitrary strings are just for quick reproduction.
The stack trace appears to be during argument parsing (which from a quick look, did indeed change between 26.0.1 and 26.1). On 26.1+, garbage data seemingly gets passed to AbsolutePath.init.
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
* frame #0: 0x00000001002c6748 xcresulttool-26.1`normalize(absolute:)

frame #6: 0x00000001804d5d54 dyld`start + 7184
The only workaround we've found is to keep using 26.0.1's copy of xcresulttool, though that's obviously not ideal.
My MBP M1 Pro gets really hot. iOS 26.1 Simulator in Xcode 26.1 makes ReportCrash process run at 60-160% of CPU shows Activity Monitor.
MacOS 26.1. I've reported this via Feedback Assistant: FB20918609.
Is there a way to quit this process permanently? When I Force Quit this it opens again immediately. Only way to stop it is to quit Simulator. But then again, I need to use the Simulator.
Hi,
I developed an app and trying to publish but at the validation state i'm getting two errors.
The errors as follows:
(1) App record creation failed due to an invalid input. Request failed with the error code "STATE_ERROR.APP_CREATE.PLATFORM_NOT_ALLOWED_DUE_TO_CONTRACT_STATE", and reason "One or more platforms cannot be created for this app due to your provider's contract state. Creation of apps for the platform(s) iOS is not available due to your provider's contract state."
(2) App record creation failed due to an invalid attribute. Request failed with error code "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED", and reason "The provided entity is missing a required attribute You must provide a value for the attribute 'companyName' with this request"
Which inputs and attributes are causing these errors?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am trying out Xcode Cloud for the first time. I could connect to Github in the initial setup and had a few failed builds (package resolution error), which I resolved fairly quickly.
Now whenever I am trying to build, I get the following error:
Xcode Cloud is unable to connect to the repository “<respository-name>”. Reconnect the repository to resume builds.
I am unable to remove the connection from settings as well because it's stuck in a loading state. Is there a way to fix this?
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 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.
Xcode is throwing an error when attempting to report test coverage after running unit tests.
