String Catalog
I have enabled Code Review with the button and then String Catalog turned up to code view anyways i can't get it back to original view. Disable Code Review button doesn't do anything. Any idea?

Xcode 16.3 Compile fails
After updating to 16.3, my project now fails to compile with the diagnostic: "Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code". This is a SwiftUI document project with two local packages, the second of which is a rather large one with 112 SwiftUI files. It is this second package that is failing. There are no issues when compiling with 16.2. Without diagnostics I'm having a bit of difficulty in determining the cause. My thought is to regress the commits unit 16.3 gives a success, or shows issues. Although I'm not catching a similar issue in the forums, I'm seeing other problems with 16.3. Has anyone else had such build failure isolated to 16.3? Any advice on other ways to approach this problem? Thanks in advance

Is Image rendering allowed inside ActivityReportExtension
Versions XCode version: 16.2 iOS version: 17.0 Background I am trying to generate a QR code inside the ActivityReportExtention which encoded the FamilyActivitySelection information. The code is roughly: Question Can I create Image inside the ActivityReportExtension? I cannot even render a simple image (not QR code) inside the extension. How can I debug inside the extension? Logs of the extension are not shown in the console. Code A function to generate QR Code import CoreImage import UIKit func generateQRCode(from string: String) -> UIImage? { let data = string.data(using: .ascii) guard let filter = CIFilter(name: "CIQRCodeGenerator") else { return nil } filter.setValue(data, forKey: "inputMessage") filter.setValue("Q", forKey: "inputCorrectionLevel") // Q for medium quality guard let outputImage = filter.outputImage else { return nil } // Scale the QR code image so it looks clear on screen let transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 10, y: 10) let scaledImage = outputImage.transformed(by: transform) // Create a CIContext and generate a CGImage from the CIImage let context = CIContext() if let cgImage = context.createCGImage(scaledImage, from: scaledImage.extent) { return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage) } else { return nil } } Inside ActivityReportExtension sandbox: struct LineChartView: View { var body: some View { VStack { if let qrImage = generateQRCode2(from: "this is a test") { Image(uiImage: qrImage) .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 200, height: 200) } else { Text("QR Code generation failed") } } } }

Does Xcode force to download latest iOS simulator after update?
I have Xcode on my mac. I am iOS Dev. I do not know what version of Xcode was before I did next steps, but I could say that I had iOS Simulator 18.3.1. So I update my Xcode to Version 16.3 (16E140). At this version is available iOS Simulator 18.4. But from some time before Xcode separate downloading components and actual Xcode itself. So i make update and do not download latest iOS simulator. What i have: in Xcode -> Settings -> Components under " Other Installed Platforms" i have iOS 18.3.1 and 17.5 in Choose Destination dropdown menu i have nothing. And Xcode say me that i need install iOS Simulator. After some time with ChatGPT I could not do nothing from this. I try go to : Window -> Device and Simulators and here create new simulator with 18.3.1 and make it appear Always. But it didn't help. Solution I did: I download latest version 18.4 because i could not wait because i need fix bug only 1 hour shift and it was this hour so i fast download the simulator. After downloading 18.4 in Choose Destination dropdown it appears all versions of simulaors and 18.3.1 and that i created and 17.5 Question: Does Xcode force to install latest version of iOS simulator? What is the sense of this upgrade that now Xcode is updating faster because it download 8 GB not 16 if eventually I need download 8 GB again ? The new what i could do download Xcode in the evening and Simulator in the morning?

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 ?? "0") ?? 0 let add = add1 + add2 if add.isMultiple(of: 9) == false { if squares2move == 0 { self.moveinprogress = 0 return } moveLeft1() } if add.isMultiple(of: 9) { squares2move += 1 moveLeft2() } func moveLeft1() { var duration = TimeInterval(0.1) duration = Double(squares2move) * duration self.soundEffect = "swipe" self.playEffects(Volume: self.effectsVolume) let move = SKAction.move(to: positions[Square - (squares2move + 1)], duration: duration) currentNode.run(move, completion: { self.tiles[Square - (squares2move + 1)].name = self.currentNode.name self.tiles[Square - 1].name = "" self.currentNode.position = self.positions[Square - (squares2move + 1)] self.newNumber() }) } func moveLeft2() { var duration = TimeInterval(0.1) duration = Double(squares2move) * duration self.soundEffect = "swipe" self.playEffects(Volume: self.effectsVolume) let move = SKAction.move(to: positions[Square - (squares2move + 1)], duration: duration) currentNode.zPosition = currentNode.zPosition - 1 currentNode.run(move, completion: { self.currentNode.position = self.positions[Square - (squares2move + 1)] self.tiles[Square - 1].name = "" self.currentNode.name = "\(add)" self.tiles[Square - (squares2move + 1)].name = "\(add)" if add > self.score { self.score = add } if add > self.currentgoal { self.levelComplete()} else { self.playEffects2(soundEffect: "Tink", Volume: self.effectsVolume, Type: "caf")} if self.currentNode.childNode(withName: "Label") == nil { self.currentNode.texture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "0.png") let Label = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: "CHALKBOARDSE-BOLD") Label.text = "\(add)" Label.name = "Label" let numberofdigits = Label.text!.count if numberofdigits == 1 { Label.fontSize = 45 * self.hR} if numberofdigits == 2 { Label.fontSize = 40 * self.hR} if numberofdigits == 3 { Label.fontSize = 32 * self.hR} if numberofdigits == 4 { Label.fontSize = 25 * self.hR} Label.horizontalAlignmentMode = .center Label.verticalAlignmentMode = .center Label.fontColor = .systemBlue Label.zPosition = 2 self.currentNode.addChild(Label) self.currentNode.zPosition = self.currentNode.zPosition + 1 var nodes = self.nodes(at: self.positions[Square - (squares2move + 1)]) nodes = nodes.filter { $0.name != "Tile" } nodes = nodes.filter { $0 != self.currentNode } nodes = nodes.filter { $0 != self.currentNode.childNode(withName: "Label") } for v in nodes { v.removeFromParent()} } else { let Lbl = self.currentNode.childNode(withName: "Label") as?

How to run XCode 15.2 on Sequoia?
Hi, I have a project that is based on a GPL library. The GPL library has some issue since early 2024 that requires it to be run on XCode 15.2. Any XCode above 15.2 will only give you "Invalid MinimumOSVersion." and "Missing Info.plist value." errors. So I installed 15.2 again. But now I have another problem because it can only run on Ventura. How do I run XCode 15.2 on my Sequoia MacOS? I hate to reinstall the OS all again. Thank you.

The location coming out of geocoder in CLPlacemark has altitude 0, differently of the input CLLocation
When I execute: geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler:{[weak self](placemarks, error) in print("reverse geocoding location after altitude: ",location.altitude) print("placemark location first", placemarks?.first?.location?.altitude ?? -1) The input CLLocation has correct altitude 25, instead the location in the output placemarks have altitude 0, when of course they should have the same location. Moreover it is impossible to retrofit any data in the returned placemarks as they are portrayed as a read only property.

Xcode: Unknown Name
I wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue. We are trying to update our app, but on XCode, there is this error message showing: Team: Unknown Name (Code). There is a check in "Automatically Manage Signing". Normally, Apple provides this information to XCode automatically but this time it seems like it's either not sending it or not receiving it. If anyone knows what is happening here, any suggestion/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

code signing error
We are encountering a persistent code signing error with in-app purchase capabilities in our iOS app. Despite having the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement properly configured in the app's entitlements file and the In-App Purchase capability enabled in both Xcode and the App ID configuration in the Apple Developer Portal, we continue to receive the error: "The provisioning profile 'iOS Team Provisioning Profile: does not include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement." We have attempted multiple solutions including: Regenerating provisioning profiles Cleaning and rebuilding the project Switching between automatic and manual signing Removing and re-adding the in-app purchase capability Verifying all entitlements and capabilities configurations The error persists despite the entitlement being correctly set in the entitlements file and the capability being enabled in the App ID. This appears to be an issue with how the provisioning profile is being generated or how the entitlement is being recognized by Xcode's code signing system.

Gaps in Xcode build timeline
Reposting (after a while) from the Swift forums - the build timeline for our project has a lot of weird gaps in the beginning - almost 15 seconds in total, which is quite a big chunk of the total build time. Is there any way to determine why they exist or how I could fix them? I hope it's just something hidden and not the build system literally doing nothing... This is on Xcode 15.4.

WatchOS Xcode 16.4 to sample live RR intervals from the PPG sensor ERROR
Hi, I am getting an error stating "Argument passed to call that takes no arguments". I want this Apple Watch App to measure and store RR Intervals from the PPG sensor on the Apple Watch for Heart Rate Variability calculations. Please help me fix this, I can't figure it out. Here is my code: heartbeatQuery = HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery(predicate: predicate, dataReceivedHandler: { (query, timeSinceLastBeat, ended, error) in // Switch to main thread for UI updates DispatchQueue.main.async { if let error = error { print("Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)") self.fetchErrorMessage = "Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)" // Consider stopping the workout session if the query fails critically // self.stopWorkoutSession() return } if ended { print("Heartbeat query indicates series ended.") } // Append valid RR intervals if timeSinceLastBeat > 0 { self.rrIntervals.append(timeSinceLastBeat) self.beatCount += 1 } } // End DispatchQueue.main.async }) // End query data handler // --- END OF PROBLEMATIC INITIALIZER --- // Execute the query if it was created successfully It recommends the fix as removing this part: '(predicate: predicate, dataReceivedHandler: { (query, timeSinceLastBeat, ended, error) in // Switch to main thread for UI updates DispatchQueue.main.async { if let error = error { print("Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)") self.fetchErrorMessage = "Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)" // Consider stopping the workout session if the query fails critically // self.stopWorkoutSession() return } if ended { print("Heartbeat query indicates series ended.") } // Append valid RR intervals if timeSinceLastBeat > 0 { self.rrIntervals.append(timeSinceLastBeat) self.beatCount += 1 } } // End DispatchQueue.main.async })' But after I remove that it says "Cannot assign value of type 'HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery.Type' to type 'HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery'" PLEASE HELP ME Thanks

testSession.setSimulatedError(.purchase(.invalidQuantity), forAPI: .purchase)
I am trying to test this simulated Error. The issue is, I can't get this to trigger through the simulatedError function. Error will always end up as an unknown error Example code snippet: @available(iOS 17.0, *) func testPurchase_InvalidQuantity() async throws { // Arrange testSession.clearTransactions() testSession.resetToDefaultState() let productID = "consumable_1" try await testSession.setSimulatedError(.purchase(.invalidQuantity), forAPI: .purchase) guard let product = await fetchProduct(identifier: productID) else { XCTFail("Failed to fetch test product") return } let option = Product.PurchaseOption.quantity(4) let result = await manager.purchase(product: product, options: option) switch result { case .success: XCTFail("Expected failure due to invalid quantity") case .failure(let error): print("Received error: \(error.localizedDescription)") switch error { case .purchaseError(let purchaseError): XCTAssertEqual(purchaseError.code, StoreKitPurchaseError.invalidQuantity.code) default: XCTFail("Unexpected error: \(error)") } } } In the above code snippet, I have an Unexpected Error. But if i remove try await testSession.setSimulatedError(.purchase(.invalidQuantity), forAPI: .purchase) I will receive a XCTFail in the success of my result. So when I set the quantity to a -1, only then can I correctly receive an invalidQuantity. Does anyone know why the try await testSession.setSimulatedError(.purchase(.invalidQuantity), forAPI: .purchase) would fail to work as directed? I have tests for all the generic errors for loadProducts API and the simulatedError works great for them

SchemeBuildError: Failed to build the scheme
I have an iOS app, and I am trying to add a companion WatchOS app. My iOS app depends on 2 libraries: GoogleMobileAds FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport When I add a new target for WatchOS, the preview build starts to fail. I am not adding any libraries to WatchOS. The Google Ads and Firebase Analytics libs are only under the iOS target. I am unable to run the preview, I get an error when trying to build the watch scheme. The preview does not work. The build just crashes. I've included the error log below. But, here are the steps I've tried so far: Delete folders inside Derived Data Run a clean build (Cmd + Option + Shift + K) Delete scheme and create a new one Reset Package Cache Restart Xcode Restart Macbook But, it just does not work. I do not understand why the watchOS target is erroring for "GoogleUserMessagingPlatform" and "GoogleMobileAdsTarget" when those packages are not linked/used for the watchOS.
