Cannot evaluate variables in xCode 16.2 debugger
When I try to look at any variable in the debugger, I get a bunch of errors complaining about inability to find a file in a location that should not exist on my machine... I just upgraded form xCode 15.2, which worked fine, but now I basically cannot debug. Who is this liangchenying? It's almost like the new version was shipped with some developer's paths hard-coded in the configuration.

On Log Noise - Debugging
I came across several "errors" being reported when I run my app, however my app seems to function correctly. I believe they fall in the category listed on this ( now locked ) thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/115461 However, I wanted to post the ones I found to clarify ( close to submission) just in case any of these end up being more than just log noise later.

NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary crashes Xcode 13
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.

xcstrings CFBundleName value changes after building different target
Hi, I followed Xcode’s recommendation and migrated to the new strings format (*.strings → *.xcstrings) using the Migrate to String Catalog option. My project has two build targets: MyAppName MyAppNameVFSCopy Every time I build one or the other target, the value in the .xcstrings file changes under CFBundleName > en > stringUnit > value, switching between MyAppName and MyAppNameVFSCopy. As a result, Git detects a change in source control each time, which is quite annoying. How can I prevent this from happening? After building MyAppNameVFSCopy target, the "value" is MyAppNameVFSCopy "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppNameVFScopy" } } } } After building MyAppName target, the "value" changes to MyAppName "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppName" } } } } Deleting CFBundleName from *.xcstrings file didn't help. CFBundleName is automatically created again after building target. Both targets has it's on plist file. In those files: <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string> Attaching full xcstrings file InfoPlist.xcstrings

Files app in iOS 18 beta simulator is read-only
The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to: create folders copy files into it by dragging them from macOS safe files from safari I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet. The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison. My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5. To reproduce: New folder Launch Files app in iOS simulator Tap into "On my phone" From the top menu tap "New Folder" (nothing happens) Download a file Launch safari Find a file like a PDF to download Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom The "Save" button is grayed out. Copy from macOS Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator the sheet appears with the filename in the text field The "Save" button is grayed out

In Xcode's build phases section is it possible to enable/disable compile flags bases on scheme
If an Xcode project has some compiler flags set in Build Phases / Compile Sources, then is it possible to have those enabled if scheme A is selected and disabled if scheme B is selected. Same question for things in Build Settings, such as Other Compiler Flags. I suppose it could be achieved by having two targets, one with things enabled and one without, but for a very large complex project, duplicating targets is not necessarily an easy thing to do.

Upload Symbols Failed on Xcode 16
I am using GoogleMobileAds package dependencies and now when I want to archive and export an app I get this two warnings : Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for the GoogleMobileAds.framework with the UUIDs [13B55A37-D103-36E1-8D7B-FA4EAB2C8146]. Ensure that the archive's dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for GoogleMobileAds.framework with the expected UUIDs. Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for the UserMessagingPlatform.framework with the UUIDs [A3941120-02A1-30B5-8C28-BFC0F9496E16]. Ensure that the archive's dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for UserMessagingPlatform.framework with the expected UUIDs. I have updated the packages to 11.9.0 (lasted) and Xcode 16 to 16 RC (lasted also) and I would like to know how to fix this... With Xcode 15 I have no problem !! I can export with no warnings ! But now with Xcode 16 no... Thanks for helping !

Xcode cannot find any frameworks
I am new to Xcode and trying to learn how to use Metal for my internship. I am trying to link the binaries of Foundation.framework, Metal.framework, and Quartcore.framework. But whenever I try to build it always fails to find any of them. I have my Header Search Path as $(PROJECT_DIR)/metal-cpp, I tried adding some for the Frameworks but that did not work either. I do have the binaries linked in the Build Phases, so I don't know what else I could be missing.

Questions about Deployment Targets in Xcode
The “Deployment Targets” for iOS was IOS12 or higher in Xcode15, but is now listed as IOS15 or higher in Xcode16. https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ How does this change affect developers and users? For example, if a developer specifies less than iOS15 in the “iOS Deployment Target” on Xcode, how will this affect them? Also, will users under iOS 15 be unable to run the apps?

MIssing visionOS 1.2 SDK for Xcode 15.3
Hi, I have been trying for a weeks to find vision SDK for apple visionOS . I now know I need it for xcode 15.3. apparently Unreal will not build correctly for the visionOS without this version. There are a lot of wild claims about using newer version but nothing new has worked and I am fallowing this webiste. Please point me in the right direction. 15.3 does not install the SDK and everything tells me it should. https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/tutorials/1JWr/unreal-engine-apple-vision-pro-quick-start-guide

Network framework crashes on fork
Hello, I have a Cocoa application from which I fork a new process (helper sort of) and it crashes on fork due to some cleanup code probably registered with pthreads_atfork() in Network framework.

I'm trying to create a child process with boost::process::child which does basically just a fork() followed by execv() and I do it before the - [NSApplication run] is called. Is it know bug or behavior which I've run into? Also what is a correct way to spawn child processes in Cocoa applications? As far as my understanding goes the basically all the available APIs (e.g. posix, NSTask) should be more or less the same thing calling the same syscalls. So forking the process early before main run loop starts and not starting another NSApplication in forked child should be ok ...or not?

App Clip cannot determine the source of the opening
Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

XCode 13 - No Help Book
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?

NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary crashes Xcode 13
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.

xcstrings CFBundleName value changes after building different target
Hi, I followed Xcode’s recommendation and migrated to the new strings format (*.strings → *.xcstrings) using the Migrate to String Catalog option. My project has two build targets: MyAppName MyAppNameVFSCopy Every time I build one or the other target, the value in the .xcstrings file changes under CFBundleName > en > stringUnit > value, switching between MyAppName and MyAppNameVFSCopy. As a result, Git detects a change in source control each time, which is quite annoying. How can I prevent this from happening? After building MyAppNameVFSCopy target, the "value" is MyAppNameVFSCopy "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppNameVFScopy" } } } } After building MyAppName target, the "value" changes to MyAppName "CFBundleName" : { "comment" : "Bundle name", "extractionState" : "extracted_with_value", "localizations" : { "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "new", "value" : "MyAppName" } } } } Deleting CFBundleName from *.xcstrings file didn't help. CFBundleName is automatically created again after building target. Both targets has it's on plist file. In those files: <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string> Attaching full xcstrings file InfoPlist.xcstrings

Files app in iOS 18 beta simulator is read-only
The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to: create folders copy files into it by dragging them from macOS safe files from safari I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet. The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison. My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5. To reproduce: New folder Launch Files app in iOS simulator Tap into "On my phone" From the top menu tap "New Folder" (nothing happens) Download a file Launch safari Find a file like a PDF to download Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom The "Save" button is grayed out. Copy from macOS Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator the sheet appears with the filename in the text field The "Save" button is grayed out

In Xcode's build phases section is it possible to enable/disable compile flags bases on scheme
If an Xcode project has some compiler flags set in Build Phases / Compile Sources, then is it possible to have those enabled if scheme A is selected and disabled if scheme B is selected. Same question for things in Build Settings, such as Other Compiler Flags. I suppose it could be achieved by having two targets, one with things enabled and one without, but for a very large complex project, duplicating targets is not necessarily an easy thing to do.

Upload Symbols Failed on Xcode 16
I am using GoogleMobileAds package dependencies and now when I want to archive and export an app I get this two warnings : Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for the GoogleMobileAds.framework with the UUIDs [13B55A37-D103-36E1-8D7B-FA4EAB2C8146]. Ensure that the archive's dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for GoogleMobileAds.framework with the expected UUIDs. Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for the UserMessagingPlatform.framework with the UUIDs [A3941120-02A1-30B5-8C28-BFC0F9496E16]. Ensure that the archive's dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for UserMessagingPlatform.framework with the expected UUIDs. I have updated the packages to 11.9.0 (lasted) and Xcode 16 to 16 RC (lasted also) and I would like to know how to fix this... With Xcode 15 I have no problem !! I can export with no warnings ! But now with Xcode 16 no... Thanks for helping !

Xcode cannot find any frameworks
I am new to Xcode and trying to learn how to use Metal for my internship. I am trying to link the binaries of Foundation.framework, Metal.framework, and Quartcore.framework. But whenever I try to build it always fails to find any of them. I have my Header Search Path as $(PROJECT_DIR)/metal-cpp, I tried adding some for the Frameworks but that did not work either. I do have the binaries linked in the Build Phases, so I don't know what else I could be missing.

Questions about Deployment Targets in Xcode
The “Deployment Targets” for iOS was IOS12 or higher in Xcode15, but is now listed as IOS15 or higher in Xcode16. https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ How does this change affect developers and users? For example, if a developer specifies less than iOS15 in the “iOS Deployment Target” on Xcode, how will this affect them? Also, will users under iOS 15 be unable to run the apps?

Hi, I have been trying for a weeks to find vision SDK for apple visionOS . I now know I need it for xcode 15.3. apparently Unreal will not build correctly for the visionOS without this version. There are a lot of wild claims about using newer version but nothing new has worked and I am fallowing this webiste. Please point me in the right direction. 15.3 does not install the SDK and everything tells me it should. https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/tutorials/1JWr/unreal-engine-apple-vision-pro-quick-start-guide

Network framework crashes on fork
Hello, I have a Cocoa application from which I fork a new process (helper sort of) and it crashes on fork due to some cleanup code probably registered with pthreads_atfork() in Network framework. This is crash from the child process: Application Specific Information: *** multi-threaded process forked *** BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBPLATFORM: os_unfair_lock is corrupt Abort Cause 258 crashed on child side of fork pre-exec Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x194551238 _os_unfair_lock_corruption_abort + 88 1 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x19454c788 _os_unfair_lock_lock_slow + 332 2 Network 0x19b1b4af0 nw_path_shared_necp_fd + 124 3 Network 0x19b1b4698 -[NWConcrete_nw_path_evaluator dealloc] + 72 4 Network 0x19af9d970 __nw_dictionary_dispose_block_invoke + 32 5 libxpc.dylib 0x194260210 _xpc_dictionary_apply_apply + 68 6 libxpc.dylib 0x19425c9a0 _xpc_dictionary_apply_node_f + 156 7 libxpc.dylib 0x1942600e8 xpc_dictionary_apply + 136 8 Network 0x19acd5210 -[OS_nw_dictionary dealloc] + 112 9 Network 0x19b1beb08 nw_path_release_globals + 120 10 Network 0x19b3d4fa0 nw_settings_child_has_forked() + 312 11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x100c8f7c8 _pthread_atfork_child_handlers + 76 12 libsystem_c.dylib 0x1943d9944 fork + 112 (...) I'm trying to create a child process with boost::process::child which does basically just a fork() followed by execv() and I do it before the - [NSApplication run] is called. Is it know bug or behavior which I've run into? Also what is a correct way to spawn child processes in Cocoa applications? As far as my understanding goes the basically all the available APIs (e.g. posix, NSTask) should be more or less the same thing calling the same syscalls. So forking the process early before main run loop starts and not starting another NSApplication in forked child should be ok ...or not?

App Clip cannot determine the source of the opening
Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

XCode 13 - No Help Book
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?
