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

Background process not working in TestFlight
Hi everyone, I recently built an iOS application that fetches the healthkit data with the BGProcessingTask. It is working as expected in the debug with the physical device connected but its not working in Testflight. I printed out the logs but they don't show that the background process's running. Here is my code snippet. func registerBackgroundTask() { BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: taskIdentifier, using: nil) { task in LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("registering the background task...") print("registering the background task...") self.handleBackgroundTask(task: task as! BGProcessingTask) } } func scheduleBackgroundHealthKitSync() { print("scheduling background task...") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("scheduling background task...") let request = BGProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: taskIdentifier) request.earliestBeginDate = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 60 * 1) request.requiresNetworkConnectivity = true request.requiresExternalPower = false do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) print("BGProcessingTask scheduled") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("BGProcessingTask scheduled") } catch { print("Failed to schedule task: \(error)") LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Failed to schedule task: \(error)", isError: true) print(LogManager.shared.backgroundProcessLogs) } } func handleBackgroundTask(task: BGProcessingTask) { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("handleBackgroundTask triggered") print("handleBackgroundTask triggered") let dispatchGroup = DispatchGroup() dispatchGroup.enter() // Reschedule the background sync for the next time scheduleBackgroundHealthKitSync() var taskCancelled = false // Handling expiration task.expirationHandler = { taskCancelled = true LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Background task expired", isError: true) print("Background task expired") dispatchGroup.leave() } let healthKitManager = HealthKitManager.shared // Start the background sync operation healthKitManager.fetchAndSendAllTypes() { success in if success { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("HealthKit sync completed successfully") print("HealthKit sync completed successfully") } else { LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("HealthKit sync failed", isError: true) print("HealthKit sync failed") } dispatchGroup.leave() } // Notify when all tasks are completed dispatchGroup.notify(queue: .main) { // Check if the task was cancelled using your own flag or state if taskCancelled { task.setTaskCompleted(success: false) // Fail the task if it was cancelled } else { task.setTaskCompleted(success: true) // Complete successfully if not cancelled } LogManager.shared.addBackgroundProcessLog("Background task ended with status: \(taskCancelled == false)") print("Background task completed with success: \(taskCancelled == false)") // Logs success or failure } } Here are the logs from my device. scheduling background task...

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?

In-app purchases fetching issue
I am trying to add in-app purchases to my app. I created a StoreKit Configuration file and checked the option 'Sync this file with an app in App Store Connect' because I have already completed the subscription setup in my Apple Developer account. I also tried implementing the in-app purchases directly without using the StoreKit Configuration file, but I’m getting an 'Invalid Product Identifiers' error. I’ve double-checked, and the product ID matches the one listed in my Apple account. Please guide me on what I should do.

How can one suppress SF Symbol deprecation warnings?
Xcode 16 insists on showing deprecations of this type: Some.xib SF Symbol 'doc.on.doc' is deprecated, use 'document.on.document' instead. The problem is that the XIBs in question are set with a Deployment Target of macOS 12, where "document.on.document" actually isn't available and produces a missing image. So the warnings are wrong, as they ignore the deployment target set on the XIB. I filed a bug against this long ago and it was ignored. Having given up... does anyone know how to disable this particular warning?

Testing/debugging QLThumbnailProvider on macOS
I'm implementing the 'new' QLThumbnailProvider for our macOS app... So I just created the skeleton from Xcode, added our QLSupportedContentTypes in Info.plist, and have the skeleton code like below: import QuickLookThumbnailing class ThumbnailProvider: QLThumbnailProvider { override func provideThumbnail(for request: QLFileThumbnailRequest, _ handler: @escaping (QLThumbnailReply?, Error?) -> Void) { // cannot trigger break point here! } I understand I should test the Thumbnail Extension by using: $ qlmanage -t my_file.ext Testing Quick Look thumbnails with files: my_file.ext But I don't know what process to attach to in the Xcode debugger... a bit clueless... I've skimmed relevant parts of https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/719, but there is no real debug tips... Does anyone know if it is possible to debug with Xcode or not? And if possible, then how? 😅

Why can't Xcode projects be opened in multiple workspaces
So Xcode has projects. And I breakup my code/libraries/targets into those. So why after 20 years of Xcode, can a workspace, that holds projects not display the same project opened in another workspace? The workspace redirects all output the project would normally generate in DerivedData to a completely different folder by default. What this means is I have to shut one workspace, and then open the other workspace with a different set of projects to see the ones that are shared. The workspace can't build because it can't open the project shared with another one that is open. VS sln files don't have this issue, so why do workspace files.

cannot update system time on AppleWatch using simctl
I am attempting to generate screenshots at various logical times using a watchOS 11 simulator. % xcrun simctl status_bar "Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm)" override --time 9:06 An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=45): Simulator device failed to complete the requested operation. Operation not supported Underlying error (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=45): Status bar overrides not supported on this platform. Operation not supported Using WatchOS Clock Settings gives me at most 59 minutes in which to succeed. Even if I had a physical watch for every series and size, I would have to wait up to 23 hours before being able to generate my marketing screenshots to support various user scenarios. With three settings variations, a minimal wait time to get to good marketable content would be on the order of 1 month per app version.

App Stuck on Launch Screen When Debugging on iOS 18.5 Device with Xcode 16.3
I am using a Mac computer running macOS 15.5 with Xcode version 16.3 (16E140) and an iPhone XS Max on iOS 18.5. When debugging my app on the real device using Xcode, the app gets stuck on the launch screen and fails to proceed to the main interface. There is no output in the Xcode console, and the top of the window continuously shows "attaching to [app name] on [iPhone name]". Here are the details: The same issue occurred when the phone was running iOS 18.4.1. When I tested on another real device running iOS 17, the app launched and ran normally. I’ve tried clearing the cache, but it didn’t help. I deleted the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport folder, let it re-download the necessary files, and ran the app again, but the issue persists. I’m currently out of ideas and would appreciate any assistance.

Previews globally fail with CouldNotLoadInputObjectFile error
Whenever I try to use SwiftUI previews, the preview fails with a CouldNotLoadInputObjectFile error like this: == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: FailedToLaunchAppError: Failed to launch com.my-company.Test | ================================== | | [Remote] CouldNotLoadInputObjectFile: Could not load object file during preview: /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-dzmdthicvcbuwkawncuacsomcdcd/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestApp.o | | | | path: /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-dzmdthicvcbuwkawncuacsomcdcd/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestApp.o | | | | ================================== | | | [Remote] XOJITError | | | | | | XOJITError: '/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-dzmdthicvcbuwkawncuacsomcdcd/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestApp.o': No such file or directory It appears that the preview process cannot find the compiled .o files. However, when I check in Finder, the files do exist and normally running the app works fine. It is noteworthy that this is independent of the XCode project or view I try to preview. It is a global issue on my system. Previews not even work when I create a blank new SwiftUI project in XCode. I tried deleting all caches, derived data, preview caches etc. But without any effect. I have this in XCode 16.3 as well as in 16.4 RC. On macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 on a MacBook Air M4. Does anybody have an idea what might be causing this?

Mac (Designed for iPad) not been able to install on Mac testflight
Hi I developed an iPhone app but now I want to release the same app for iPad and Mac (Design for iPad). I made the changes below but I still not been able to install the app on my Mac. It says the app is incompatible but my Mac is MacBook Pro M2 which fills the requirements to install it. Things I did so my iPhone app could have support for iPad and Mac Added iPad and Mac (Designed for iPad) for the supported destinations Change the Status Bar Style to Require full screen Changed iOS minimum Deployments iOS to 17.6 Updated the launch screen logo so stays in the middle Xcode version 16.2 See the sccreenshots of the Xcode configuration and of the TestFlight on my MacBook Pro M2 Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks.

NO_CRASH_STACK with different number of crashes from the App Store.
Hello. For the last few months I have been facing a situation for which I do not understand either the reason or the solution. Here is an example for the last few weeks: In App Store Connect it shows 214 crashes for the last week In Xcode it shows 56 crashes for the last 2 weeks without stack traces (NO_CRASH_STACK) In Firebase Crashlytics there is not a single crash. When I click "Show in Finder" it opens a folder with .xccrashpoint files. As far as I understood from the instructions on posting crash reports - this is not what is needed. Interesting point: it looks like the errors occur on iOS 15-16 devices. I have several questions: Why is the number of crashes in Xcode different from the number in App Store Connect? Where are the other crashes? How can I understand what the problem is if there are no stack traces in Xcode?

Simulator failing to recognize bundle ID
Hi all, I'm learning how to make iOS apps this weekend and I've failed to resolve the following issue. Here's important data regarding my xcode build: On my apple developer account, the bundle exists for the Team I'm currently using (meaning it will fail 'registering' the bundle identifier). I don't think this is a problem or of concern given that my bundle ID already exists on the account. My build settings have 'Product Build Identifier' pointing to the same bundle Identifier My info.plist file has the following lines: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string> ... </dict> </plist> Simulator device failed to install the application.

CPListTemplate in CarPlay Simulator: Multiple Items Selected on Tap
I am encountering an issue while running my CarPlay app in the simulator using CPListTemplate. On app launch, when I tap on the first item in the list and then tap on the second item, both items remain selected instead of only the latest tapped item. This behavior does not align with the expected single-item selection functionality. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a workaround or a known resolution for this behavior?

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?

Whenever I try to use SwiftUI previews, the preview fails with a CouldNotLoadInputObjectFile error like this: == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: FailedToLaunchAppError: Failed to launch com.my-company.Test | ================================== | | [Remote] CouldNotLoadInputObjectFile: Could not load object file during preview: /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-dzmdthicvcbuwkawncuacsomcdcd/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestApp.o | | | | path: /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-dzmdthicvcbuwkawncuacsomcdcd/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestApp.o | | | | ================================== | | | [Remote] XOJITError | | | | | | XOJITError: '/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-dzmdthicvcbuwkawncuacsomcdcd/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestApp.o': No such file or directory It appears that the preview process cannot find the compiled .o files. However, when I check in Finder, the files do exist and normally running the app works fine. It is noteworthy that this is independent of the XCode project or view I try to preview. It is a global issue on my system. Previews not even work when I create a blank new SwiftUI project in XCode. I tried deleting all caches, derived data, preview caches etc. But without any effect. I have this in XCode 16.3 as well as in 16.4 RC. On macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 on a MacBook Air M4. Does anybody have an idea what might be causing this?

Xcode local documentation location
Where are the local documentation files location on MacOS? None of the existing data on the internet is applicable anymore. Trying to bundle documentation for use in an LLM and the developer site is unusable for crawling. Thanks! *.docset

Mac (Designed for iPad) not been able to install on Mac testflight
Hi I developed an iPhone app but now I want to release the same app for iPad and Mac (Design for iPad). I made the changes below but I still not been able to install the app on my Mac. It says the app is incompatible but my Mac is MacBook Pro M2 which fills the requirements to install it. Things I did so my iPhone app could have support for iPad and Mac Added iPad and Mac (Designed for iPad) for the supported destinations Change the Status Bar Style to Require full screen Changed iOS minimum Deployments iOS to 17.6 Updated the launch screen logo so stays in the middle Xcode version 16.2 See the sccreenshots of the Xcode configuration and of the TestFlight on my MacBook Pro M2 Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks.

NO_CRASH_STACK with different number of crashes from the App Store.
Hello. For the last few months I have been facing a situation for which I do not understand either the reason or the solution. Here is an example for the last few weeks: In App Store Connect it shows 214 crashes for the last week In Xcode it shows 56 crashes for the last 2 weeks without stack traces (NO_CRASH_STACK) In Firebase Crashlytics there is not a single crash. When I click "Show in Finder" it opens a folder with .xccrashpoint files. As far as I understood from the instructions on posting crash reports - this is not what is needed. Interesting point: it looks like the errors occur on iOS 15-16 devices. I have several questions: Why is the number of crashes in Xcode different from the number in App Store Connect? Where are the other crashes? How can I understand what the problem is if there are no stack traces in Xcode?

Simulator failing to recognize bundle ID
Hi all, I'm learning how to make iOS apps this weekend and I've failed to resolve the following issue. Here's important data regarding my xcode build: On my apple developer account, the bundle exists for the Team I'm currently using (meaning it will fail 'registering' the bundle identifier). I don't think this is a problem or of concern given that my bundle ID already exists on the account. My build settings have 'Product Build Identifier' pointing to the same bundle Identifier My info.plist file has the following lines: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string> ... </dict> </plist> Simulator device failed to install the application.

What's going on? Where does the simulator need the specification of my bundleid in order to run my application? I've been trying to learn how this works with pretty much no avail so far.

CPListTemplate in CarPlay Simulator: Multiple Items Selected on Tap
I am encountering an issue while running my CarPlay app in the simulator using CPListTemplate. On app launch, when I tap on the first item in the list and then tap on the second item, both items remain selected instead of only the latest tapped item. This behavior does not align with the expected single-item selection functionality. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a workaround or a known resolution for this behavior?

Crash on saving an autocreated testplan in Xcode 16.3?
Is anybody able to save the autocreated testplan successfully with Xcode 16.3? I get a crash no matter what (different filenames, locations, machines, ...). Now created a template project: same thing. Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) on macOS 15.5 (24F74) Known issue, or am I holding it wrong?

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?
