Upload Symbols Failed when Archiving with Xcode 16
Hello everyone, We are seeing some warnings in Xcode 16 when I archive my iOS app for distribution. During the upload phase (either via Xcode Organizer ), I get an error like: WARNING: Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for MyFramework.framework with the UUIDs: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX Ensure that the archive’s dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for MyFramework.framework with the expected UUIDs. Question: How can these warnings be fixed? Is this warning safe to ignore if I know the vendor does not supply a dSYM for their framework? If I do need a proper dSYM for full symbolication, how should I request it from the vendor or generate it myself from an XCFramework?

Xcode crash reports from TestFlight
My application is in flightTest mode. I received my first two crash reports in XCODE /Organizer. The context is well described, and I was able to isolate the locations where very serious errors occurred. My application is connected. I'm missing one piece of data in this crash report: the time of the crash. This will help me see what (in my case) static data was being read on the data server at that time. This will help me investigate. Is it possible to obtain this information?

Network Instability in TestFlight Builds When Using Xcode 16+
We are experiencing networking issues in our iOS application when it is built with Xcode 16 or later. Our app includes a video conferencing feature that works reliably when built with Xcode 15 or earlier — we can sustain hour-long video sessions without interruption. However, when the app is built using Xcode 16 or higher, network connections drop after 2–3 minutes during a session. This triggers an auto-reconnect, which succeeds, but the connection drops again after another 2–3 minutes. This loop continues indefinitely. Key Details: The issue only occurs in TestFlight builds. When running the app via Xcode debugger, the issue does not occur. The issue is consistently reproducible in TestFlight builds created with Xcode 16 or later. TestFlight builds created with Xcode 15 do not exhibit this issue. All the videoconferencing runs on C and C++ code What We’ve Tried: Reviewed Xcode 16+ release notes but found no relevant changes or deprecations. Verified app configuration and entitlements. Confirmed that no app-side changes occurred between the working and broken builds. Request: We’re seeking guidance on what changes in Xcode 16+ could be affecting networking behavior in release/TestFlight builds. Any insight into relevant build settings, compiler changes, or runtime behavior differences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Xcode is is throwing error when I run my Unity Build
When I try to build my project in Xcode (from Unity AR) project, it throws me these errors: I feel like I've tried everything to make the LaunchScreen work. I downloaded xcode the night I tried running this build, so the whole deleting and redownloading and restarting everything didn't work. I've tried making sure my macbook and terminal are fully up to date. I literally can't find a solution! Please help!! I will also say, I'm fairly new to App building, Xcode, and Unity. But this does seem like a barrier that is stopping me from testing my project.

Rare EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE crash when running function?
The following function could run several hundred times with no problem but will occasionally cause a EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS). The last time it was a KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE perhaps meaning it is trying to write to a read only memory but previously it was KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS. I have tried debugging tools to no avail. Can anyone see any reason why the following function could be causing this. Just in case the function is a red herring the only other thing that was running is a AVQueuePlayer that contains 11 tracks, but the crash happens mid song making it unlikely. The function includes running other functions so below is all related functions that happen as a result of a swipe gesture. func completeLeft() { let add1 = Int(tiles[Square - (squares2move + 2)].name ?? "0") ?? 0 let add2 = Int(currentNode.name ??

Xcode not omitting binary of static framework
I'm following the steps laid out in Creating a static framework which states: When a client links and embeds the framework, Xcode 15 or later omits the main binary from the embedded framework bundle because it’s already statically linked into the client. Specifically, I'm adding a new framework target to my project, and then changing the Mach-O type in its build settings to Static Library. What I'm observing when I build (debug or release) is that that the resulting framework folder inside of the app bundle still contains a binary. Furthermore, upon inspecting strings and symbols in both the main app executable and this library binary, it appears that my strings and symbols do end up in the main executable and not in the library binary. Does this mean that this binary is just a stub left behind? Is this intended? Can I safely delete this binary with a build phase script?

FamilyControls Framework info.plist missing
We are trying to create a screentime app using the Family Controls as well as Device activity frameworks. The build succeeds but while pushing to an iphone we are getting an info.plist file for deviceactivity.framework could not be found error. For reference when using the Screentime API a physical device must be used not a simulator. When we remove the device activity framework this error also occurs for the family controls framework. We have added the Family Controls(development) Capability and applied for the distribution capability. We have redownloaded xcode multiple times on the main device, deleted derived data, and redownloaded all of the iphone SDKs and the issue still persists.

Can I use ARGeoAnchor with simulated locations
I'm trying to evaluate if we can support AR navigation with MapKit. The feature is supposed to be available for users in US. I tried to run the sample on my iPhone: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/tracking-geographic-locations-in-ar?language=objc But I'm in a location that ARGeoTrackingConfiguration.checkAvailabilityWithCompletionHandler: always return false. I think ARGeoAnchor isn't supported in my location. I tried to use simulated locations by Adding a gpx file when launching the app. Enabling Xcode -> Debug -> Simulate Location -> New York, NY, US But the availability for ARGeoAnchor is still false. Is that possible for me to develop the ARGeoAnchor feature outside of the covered areas?

How to setup a directory in Xcode project 16.2
the Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a), I want to know how to setup a directory in Xcode project when develop the iOS app. Here is the whole thing: I start a new iOS App project "test_path". then I right click, and choose "New Folder", to make a new folder "configx" then I right click on the configx folder, and choose the "add files to test_path", add a file in it But the folder does not exist in the project when try to access by "Bundle.main.urls" func. 5. when ls in the Mac, /data/Containers/Bundle/Application/E4F11903-3FAD-467F-A4CD-60AC68D64934/test_path.app, the file just at the root path of test_path.app, no "configx" folder ahead the file. so, how to setup a directory or a path in iOS project?

Most useless Xcode error message ever
Neither a google search, nor a search of the Apple forums give me a clue as to how to locate or fix the following message I get from Xcode. CLIENT: Failure to determine if this machine is in the process of shutting down, err=1/Operation not permitted This error message came from attempting to build and execute an iOS App which ran just fine the last time I built it. Now, that was actually a little over two years ago. This is an iOS app, which I've run successfully for more than a year on macOS, and that, "My Mac (Designed for iPad)", is what my build target for this run was. Any ideas? Anyone? If this is a "known condition", just why doesn't a friendly internet search or a search of the Apple forums NOT tell me what it means, or what causes the message. Of course, I've upgraded the OS a few times, and updated Xcode as well, but have just not had any time to monkey around with my pet code project. Now that I've gotten some time, and I want to see what's new since March of '23, I finally remember where I stashed my code repository and decided to take it for a spin. Sure, I expect(ed) to see Xcode tell me that the version of Swift has been updated, and maybe some code constructs need to be fixed. But, NO, the code compiles fine. The first build attempt told me that I needed to update my provisioning profiles, and sign-in and agree to the updated developer agreements, which I did. Not so unhelpful was the code window in the debugger: libswiftCore.dylib`swift_willThrow: -> 0x1aeb7b2a0 <+0>: pacibsp 0x1aeb7b2a4 <+4>: str x19, [sp, #-0x20]! 0x1aeb7b2a8 <+8>: stp x29, x30, [sp, #0x10] 0x1aeb7b2ac <+12>: add x29, sp, #0x10 0x1aeb7b2b0 <+16>: adrp x8, 365651 0x1aeb7b2b4 <+20>: add x8, x8, #0x88 ; _swift_willThrow 0x1aeb7b2b8 <+24>: ldapr x8, [x8] 0x1aeb7b2bc <+28>: cbnz x8, 0x1aeb7b2cc ; <+44> 0x1aeb7b2c0 <+32>: ldp x29, x30, [sp, #0x10] 0x1aeb7b2c4 <+36>: ldr x19, [sp], #0x20 0x1aeb7b2c8 <+40>: retab 0x1aeb7b2cc <+44>: mov x0, x21 0x1aeb7b2d0 <+48>: mov x19, x21 0x1aeb7b2d4 <+52>: blraaz x8 0x1aeb7b2d8 <+56>: mov x21, x19 0x1aeb7b2dc <+60>: b 0x1aeb7b2c0 ; <+32> Still not much to go on. I decide to see if it was a macOS vs. iOS issue, so did a clean build folder and tried running on an iPad simulator, "iPad (10th generation)". Now, I have a blank white screen on my simulator and not much to go on in the code window. import SwiftUI @main struct JottoApp: App { Thread1: Breakpoint 1.1 var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } init() { UITableView.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor.clear } } Any and all help with this error message will be appreciated.

The behavior of the app using the Promises library changes between Xcode 15.4 and Xcode 16.2.
I’m creating code that performs asynchronous processing using the Promises library (https://github.com/google/promises). In this context, when building the app in Xcode 15.4 and Xcode 16.2, the behavior differs between the two. I’m using version 2.1.1 of the library. Also, I’ve tried using the latest version, 2.4.0, but the result was the same. Has anyone encountered the same issue or know an effective solution? Here's a simple code that reproduces this issue. @IBAction func tapButton(_: UIButton) { _ = getInfo() } func getInfo() -> Promise<Void> { Promise(on: .global(qos: .background)) { fulfill, _ in self.callApi() .then { apiResult -> Promise<ApiResult> in print("\(#function), first apiResult: \(apiResult)") return self.callApi() // #1 } .then { apiResult in print("\(#function), second apiResult: \(apiResult)") // #2 fulfill(()) } } } func callApi() -> Promise<ApiResult> { Promise(on: .global(qos: .background)) { fulfill, _ in print("\(#function), start") self.wait(3) .then { _ in let apiResult = ApiResult(message: "success") print("\(#function), end") fulfill(apiResult) } } } struct ApiResult: Codable { var message: String enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case message } } The Swift Language version in the build settings is 5.0. The console output when running the above code is as follows: When built with Xcode 15.4: 2025/03/21 10:10:46.248 callApi(), start 2025/03/21 10:10:46.248 wait 3.0 sec 2025/03/21 10:10:49.515 callApi(), end 2025/03/21 10:10:49.535 getDeviceInfo(), first apiResult: ApiResult(message: "success") 2025/03/21 10:10:49.535 callApi(), start 2025/03/21 10:10:49.536 wait 3.0 sec 2025/03/21 10:10:52.831 callApi(), end 2025/03/21 10:10:52.832 getDeviceInfo(), second apiResult: ApiResult(message: "success") The process proceeds from #1 to #2 after completing the code comment in #1. When built with Xcode 16.2: 2025/03/21 09:45:33.399 callApi(), start 2025/03/21 09:45:33.400 wait 3.0 sec 2025/03/21 09:45:36.648 callApi(), end 2025/03/21 09:45:36.666 getDeviceInfo(), first apiResult: ApiResult(message: "success") 2025/03/21 09:45:36.666 callApi(), start 2025/03/21 09:45:36.666 wait 3.0 sec 2025/03/21 09:45:36.677 getDeviceInfo(), second apiResult: Pending: ApiResult 2025/03/21 09:45:39.933 callApi(), end The process does not wait for the code comment in #1 to finish and outputs the #2 print statement first. Additionally, even with Xcode 16.2, when changing the #2 line to "print("(#function), second apiResult: (apiResult.message)")", the output becomes as follows. From this, it seems that referencing the ApiResult type, which is not a String, might have some effect on the behavior. 2025/03/21 10:05:42.129 callApi(), start 2025/03/21 10:05:42.131 wait 3.0 sec 2025/03/21 10:05:45.419 callApi(), end 2025/03/21 10:05:45.437 getDeviceInfo(), first apiResult: ApiResult(message: "success") 2025/03/21 10:05:45.437 callApi(), start 2025/03/21 10:05:45.437 wait 3.0 sec 2025/03/21 10:05:48.706 callApi(), end 2025/03/21 10:05:48.707 getDeviceInfo(), second apiResult: success Thank you in advance

Distribution and Apple TV Question
Hi, This maybe somewhat confusing, but please bear with me. I currently have an app in the App Store that supports iOS and tvOS. But the tvOS version was a separate app during the development process. I'd like to combine the iOS and tvOS app into one project so its easier to handle and keep track of internally. Can I upload the new Apple TV version to the same place where the current one is, or would I have to delete the current Apple TV version before uploading the newly combined version? I hope I made that clear enough :-) Thank you, Dan Uff

C++ Binary Size Increase in Xcode 16 Compared to Xcode 15
I've recently upgraded my project from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16. Without changing any build settings or compiler flags, I noticed that the final executable size has increased significantly when building the same C++ code. Investigation: To investigate further, I compared the Link Map outputs from both versions of Xcode. One key difference I found: The symbol size for std::sort increased from 4,336 bytes (Xcode 15) to 6,084 bytes (Xcode 16) – a ~40% increase. This seems to be part of a broader trend where other standard library symbols are also taking up more space in the binary when built with Xcode 16. Questions: Has Apple Clang or libc++ in Xcode 16 changed the implementation of STL algorithms like std::sort? Are there changes in inlining, template instantiation, or debug info that could explain the increase? Is this expected behavior? If so, is there any guidance on minimizing the binary size regression?

Proxies Simulator
I have a VPN installed (Global Protect) on my company computer, which is a MacBook Pro M2, to access the company network, internal URLs, websites, and run the app I work on. However, even with the VPN installed, I am having trouble accessing certain resources. The solution found was to manually configure the proxies for my Wi-Fi network. After configuring the proxies, I was able to access all the company's URLs and everything I needed. However, the Xcode Simulator is not picking up these network configurations, and when I try to run the project, it does not work. How can I solve this?
