Hello, Our build in Xcode Cloud uses gradle via a custom script. Today we're seeing persistent errors when our build job attempts to download the Gradle binary in the Xcode Cloud env. Run custom shell script 'Build Shared KMP Framework' Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.13-bin.zip Exception in thread "main" java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.pollConnect(Native Method) So we're currently blocked from submitting an app update. Can an Xcode Cloud engineer please comment regarding whether this is an ephemeral issue related to other networking issues reported in the forum here or if this warrants other investigation on our side?

I work on an SDK, and one of the ways we distribute it is as a pre-compiled static XCFramework. As far as I know, it’s the nature of a static framework to not contain symbols since the framework will be embedded in the final app binary, and the symbols should then be generated. However, when testing the "Validate" function of the Xcode 16 deployment process, our users are receiving a warning that says the framework does not contain symbols. Is my assumption about static frameworks and symbols incorrect? Could this be a bug in Xcode 16? Should we modify something in our framework to inform Xcode that symbols are not needed?

Have a peculiar problem I'm not able to solve. Working on an app with a mapview in the max zoomed out globe level. For some reason this morning Xcode froze/crashed when I was working and I had to force quit to get it back up. Then a new issue of graphical artifacts on the space section of the Mapview showed up. This Tuesday has now been spent in full on trying to solve this to no avail. I created a new project for iOS/iPadOS and added a similar map implementation. It works fine. I used Claude to help me after a few reinstalls of Xcode with this. I asked claude to summarize - this is what has been done: Claude generative AI summary starts here---------- Here's a complete summary of everything attempted: The Problem SwiftUI tvOS app with MapKit globe view showing severe rendering artifacts — corrupted pixels surrounding the globe. Started after Xcode crashed while the tvOS simulator was actively running. iOS simulator, macOS Maps app, and all native apps work perfectly. Only tvOS simulator MapKit is affected. Hardware Confirmed Fine Geekbench 6 Metal GPU score: 124,666 (normal for M1 Max) Apple Diagnostics (Apple Silicon method): No issues found macOS Maps globe renders perfectly Everything That Was Attempted Simulator resets: Erased all simulator content and settings Created brand new simulator devices Deleted derived data Killed CoreSimulator service Runtime reinstalls: Removed and reinstalled tvOS platform runtime multiple times Tested on Xcode 26.3 and 26.4 beta — same issue on both Installed fresh tvOS runtime after full Xcode reinstall Cache clearing: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.CoreSimulator ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.iphonesimulator.savedState All Metal shader caches in /private/var/folders/ including: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRenderingServices.SimMetalHost com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRenderingServices.SimRenderServer com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService com.apple.iphonesimulator com.apple.dt.Xcode com.apple.dt.xcodebuild com.apple.CoreSimulator.simctl ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/XcodeToMetalToolchainIndexMapping.plist ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/SDKToSimulatorIndexMapping.plist ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData Full Xcode reinstall: Deleted Xcode completely Removed ~/Library/Developer Removed all Xcode-related caches and preferences Fresh install from Mac App Store APFS simulator volume cleanup (required disabling SIP): Discovered 138GB of orphaned APFS simulator volumes in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/ that were protected by SIP and couldn't be deleted normally These volumes were left in a corrupted/limbo state from the original Xcode crash Temporarily disabled SIP via Recovery Mode Successfully deleted all orphaned volumes Re-enabled SIP Reinstalled fresh tvOS runtime Metal Toolchain: Found three leftover Metal Toolchains (17A324, 17A5241c, 17A5295f) in Xcode settings Cleared toolchain index mapping file Reinstalled fresh Metal Toolchain with new tvOS runtime Current State Fresh Xcode installation Fresh tvOS runtime All simulator volumes cleared SIP re-enabled Issue still persists What Has NOT Been Checked /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Cryptex /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Images /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles Conclusion This is almost certainly a bug triggered by the hard Xcode crash corrupting something at a level that has survived complete reinstallation of Xcode and all simulator components. The corruption is somewhere in a system-level component that normal developer tools cannot reach. Requires Apple Developer Technical Support or escalation via Feedback Assistant with the full timeline and screenshots. For Apple's reference: Machine: MacBook Pro M1 Max Xcode: 26.3 / 26.4 beta (both affected) Started: After hard Xcode crash while tvOS simulator was actively rendering MapKit globe Affected: tvOS simulator MapKit globe only Not affected: iOS simulator, macOS Maps, all native apps ----------(Claude generative AI summary ends here) ----------- Anyone seen this before? Absolutely wild. Can't think of more things to try. Been eyeing a new Macbook for a while. Strange coincidence that the new M5 Macbook Pros dropped today :D But in sum it does not seem like a GPU issue since the same rendering works on the iOS sim. Thanks!

We're investigating using xcode cloud to do our CI builds. We have our own on-prem self-managed GitLab behind a private firewall. Some questions on this: I see some IP's for Apple here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-up-your-project-to-use-xcode-cloud#Use-a-remote-source-control-repository Do these IP's ever change? Are there specific ports Apple uses? Would be nice to limit to only what's needed. Do we have to open in-bound access or can we instead have our builds reach out with an outbound only setup?

Bug submission: When I try to edit my developer profile on the Apple Developer account page, it won't save anything. Pressing the "Finish" button does nothing.

Dear Apple Developer Support, I am writing to formally report an issue I encountered during my enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. I paid the required fee for the enrollment, but the process did not complete successfully. Instead, I was prompted to re-enroll from the beginning. When I attempted to do so, it asked me to make the payment again. Since I already paid, this triggered an error stating, “This is not available in your region.” I would like your urgent assistance to resolve this issue, as I have already completed the payment, but cannot proceed with the enrollment. Please advise on the steps I should take next.

Celebrating exactly 6 weeks since I purchased the Apple Developer account, and it still hasn’t been approved🙂🎂

I bought the developer program 2 weeks ago, have been charged, and still am pending and have not been accepted, or heard anything back. I have submitted 2 tickets, haven't heard anything either, as well as called and was told there's nothing I can do. Any tips for next steps? Or anything else I can do?

Hello, Apple Developer Support Team, I registered for the Apple Developer Program using the Developer app on my iPhone. Payment and identity verification were completed successfully. Nevertheless, the phrase "Complete Your Purchase" still appears when I check in online, and my registration status is listed as Pending. Even though I've already finished the enrollment procedure on my iPhone, the system seems to be requesting me to do it again. I already have opened a case with Case ID: 102844593298 but had no response. Would you kindly check my account and let me know how my registration is going right now? I appreciate your help. Warm regards.

Xcode 16 and 26 changes in painful way how the Tab key works during autocomplete. Previously, pressing Tab would extend the typed text up to the word match. For example, we have two classes: NSViewController and NSViewCoordinator BEFORE, typing: "NSV" + Tab used to complete to NSViewCo Now, in Xcode 26, pressing Tab just use the first suggestion. Stupidly. Especially when you want DispatchQueue and it gaves you DispatchSemaphore… That is very inconvenient because very often I want just see all possible cases with some prefix...without need of typing all prefix manually. How to restore the previous behavior? How to do autocomplete word-by-word?

I'm based in Australia, and am having the following issue. After leaving this message I received another response from someone else who is also havign the same issue, I've pasted that too. I'm quite surprised to not see it mentioned, could be local to language settings or something. Here is the issue: Folk, I am having an issue where Xcode 26.3 with the new iOS26.2+26.3.1 Simulator update installed doesn’t render Unicode characters in the Canvas or in Simulator. They do render when running direct to a device. I’ve reset devices inside Simulator, cleared Derived Data, cleaned Build Folders etc but to no avail! Is anyone else seeing this, I can’t find a mention anywhere!! Thank you in advance. Yep. Same here. Can't see emojis on the emoji picker keyboard.

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed the $99 payment on 15 March. However, my developer account is still not activated. When I try to sign in to App Store Connect, it still shows that a Developer Account is required. I also contacted support through the developer contact page but have not received any response. The only email I received was the payment invoice. Has anyone experienced this before? How long does activation usually take, and is there anything else I need to do? Thank you.

I’m blocked debugging a watchOS app on a physical Apple Watch. The iPhone connects to Xcode normally (wired), but the Watch either fails to connect with a tunnel timeout or disappears entirely from Xcode after I unpaired it inside Devices & Simulators. Environment Mac: macOS 26.x (Apple Silicon Mac) Xcode: 26.2 iPhone: iOS 26.1 Apple Watch Ultra: watchOS 26.2 (build 23S303) Connection: iPhone connected to Mac via USB (trusted). Watch paired to iPhone and working normally in the Watch app. Issue A (when Watch is visible in Xcode) In Xcode → Window → Devices and Simulators, the Watch shows up but is not usable and fails to connect. Error: “Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.” “Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters.” In some attempts the Watch shows “Capacity: Unknown” / limited details, and then fails during preparation. Issue B (after unpairing Watch in Xcode only) I unpaired/removed the Watch in Xcode (Devices & Simulators). I did not unpair the Watch from the iPhone. Now: iPhone appears in Xcode and works normally for builds. Watch is still paired to the iPhone and works normally. Watch no longer appears anywhere in Xcode Devices & Simulators (no paired watch section, no watch run destination). What I’ve tried Reboots of Mac, iPhone, Watch (multiple times) Watch unlocked, awake; iPhone unlocked and close to Watch Verified Watch is paired and connected in iPhone Watch app Developer Mode enabled on iPhone and Watch Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ON (Mac/iPhone/Watch), tried toggling both Tried on home Wi-Fi and also with iPhone hotspot (same result) Resetting trust prompts / reconnecting iPhone via USB, re-trusting Mac Apple Watch: “Clear Trusted Computers” Xcode: removing/re-adding devices; clearing derived data; restarting Xcode Watch Developer networking test: Responsiveness = Medium (430 RPM) Questions 1. Is this a known issue/regression with Xcode 26.2 + watchOS 26.2 tunneling (CoreDevice / devicectl)? 2. Is there an Apple-supported way to force Xcode to re-discover a paired Watch after it was removed from Xcode Devices & Simulators (without unpairing the Watch from the iPhone)? 3. Any recommended logs or diagnostic steps I should collect (Console logs, sysdiagnose, specific Xcode/CoreDevice logs) to include in a Feedback report? If helpful, I can provide the full error text from Xcode’s Devices window and any logs you recommend. Thank you in advance,

For me it looks like Xcode 26 has problems reading SPM packages from a locally hosted BitBucket git solution. While Xcode 16 work perfectly fine, Xcode 26 fails to load and gives "Server SSH Fingerprint Failed to Verify" as error description. Cleaning build data and DerivedData sometimes makes loading work. Any change in Package dependencies will break it again. Anyone having same problems? How do you handle it?

I'm facing an issue with Swift Playgrounds and files created in Xcode 16. It seems that Swift Playgrounds does not support Swift 6, but even when I create files specifically with Swift 5, Swift Playgrounds still reports that the files are unsupported. This creates a significant problem because macOS Sequoia does not allow me to revert to Xcode 15, which might have offered better compatibility. As it stands, I can't find a solution to work seamlessly between Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any workarounds or updates planned to address this compatibility gap? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am preparing for Swift Student Challenge, but it seems like the iPad Playground app still not support the latest SDK. I can't use frameworks like FoundationModel, etc., directly in playground app My playground for this year would require iPad environment since it uses PencilKit, ARKit, etc., and I also want to use the latest tech + the liquid glass UI Right now, I develop the project as a normal Xcode project, and I am wondering how do I post it? As Xcode playground, it must run on macOS As Swift Playground project, the iPad version of Playground does not support latest APIs and it can't compile

Can I download the iOS 26 simulator runtime via a download link? The machine I need to deploy on may require an offline package installation due to firewall restrictions.

I've been unable to enroll in the Apple Developer Program and am posting here after exhausting the standard support channels. The situation: When I attempt to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, I receive the error: "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." No additional explanation is provided. I have contacted Apple Developer Program Support multiple times by both phone and email. Each time, I was told there is nothing they can do. I asked for escalation and was told escalation is not possible. At no point was I given a specific reason for the rejection. One possible cause I identified on my own is that the name on my developer profile may not match my legal name. My Apple ID at appleid.apple.com shows my correct legal name, but I'm unsure whether my developer profile reflects the same. I have not been able to confirm whether this is actually the issue, because support has not told me what the problem is. What I've verified on my end: Two-factor authentication is enabled A valid major credit card is on the account I am enrolling via the web, not the Developer app I am not using a VPN My Apple ID is email-based, not phone-number-based I am an admin (not Account Holder) on a separate organization's developer account, which should not conflict with an individual enrollment The most frustrating part of this experience is the complete lack of transparency. The error message gives no indication of what's wrong, and support agents either don't have visibility into the cause or aren't authorized to share it. I'm willing to correct whatever the issue is - I just need someone to tell me what it is. If any Apple staff can look into my account, or if anyone in the community has resolved this same error, I would be very grateful for any guidance. Thank you.

This happens way too often (see the image below). Especially today.

Hello, I was told from Developer engineers to post an Xcode issue on Feedback Assistant. It has been 6 weeks and I have yet to receive a single reply or acknowledgement on my feedback post. I would just like to at least get some sort of acknowledgement from Feedback Assistant that my post is being tracked or if a resolution is in work please. Here's the post: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/21824703
