How can I use private AI agents in Xcode 26.3?
I work on some proprietary codebases and can only use private AI services with them (currently MiniMax M2.1 and GLM 4.7). It all works great with both Claude Code and OpenCode agents, and I'd like to leverage the new agentic capabilities that are now in Xcode 26.3. I'm not seeing any option to connect to OpenCode, and both the Anthropic and OpenAI providers require an enterprise account (which I don't have access to). Are there any options that I'm missing here?

The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid
Hi there, When I deploy my app to the iPhone for testing, I get the following error: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.4gpZFc/extracted/c_mll.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the Please ensure that the certificates used to sign your app have not expired. If this issue persists, please attach an IPA of your app when sending a report to Apple. executable is no longer valid.) My account was mistakenly deactivated by Apple last month. After appealing, Apple restored it at the end of last month. Currently, my Apple Developer account seems to be working fine. Today, I recreated the developer certificate and identifier, added the account in XCode, everything seemed fine, and I clicked the XCode button (Start the active scheme). The build was successful, but I got the error: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.4gpZFc/extracted/c_mll.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.) Both my certificate and identifier were created just a few hours ago and show no issues. Before my account was deactivated, everything was working fine. I used a regular non-Apple developer account in XCode and performed the same steps, and it worked fine. I looked at relevant posts on the forum and tried the suggestions, but none of them solved my problem.

Xcode 16.3 repeatedly log causing CPU leak
Xcode 16.3 repeatedly logs a same message very frequently, as fast as a single thread can. I use Instruments and Console and find out the log is: Needs flush! by -[DNTBrotliDecoder decodeBytes:length:] in DNTDocumentationSupport. The call is on a single non-main thread. I've tried to clear caches and it seems doesn't change. Yet I don't know exact point when the logging starts since launch. Fortunately, this thread is dispatched at E cores, bringing approximately 2 watts of power load to my Mac. Environments: macOS 15.4 (24E248) Xcode 16.3 (16E140) M4 chip

Importing files to Files.app in iOS 26 Simulator
In previous versions of the simulator, it was possible to import files into the Files app by dragging them from the Finder into the Simulator. It appears that in the iOS 26 Simulator, this opens the file in Safari. I've only tried it with .json files so far. The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/sharing-data-with-simulator says that the original behaviour should happen: To add files to Simulator, select one or more files in Finder on your Mac, then click the Share button. Select Simulator from the share destination list. Choose the simulated device from the drop-down list. Simulator opens the Files app, and lets you select where to save the files. I'd love to learn if this is intentional behaviour, and if so, what workarounds there might be. I use this pattern quite a lot, as I have a HealthKit app, and I've built a system that allows me to export workouts as JSON files from a real device, that I can then import into a simulator for testing. Edit: I found a workaround. Make a folder in Files.app, then search for it within ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices. Open the folder in Finder, then add any files you want to be available in the Simulator.

NWPathMonitor : Lost connection to the debugger
I tried to monitor the device's network status with Network framework code below. let networkMonitor = NWPathMonitor(requiredInterfaceType: .cellular) networkMonitor.pathUpdateHandler = { [weak self] path in     if path.status == .satisfied {         print("Cellular Satisfied")     } else {         print("Cellular Unsatisfied")     } } When I run the app in my iPhone(iOS 15.5) and turn cellular on/off, iPhone suddenly loses connection with XCode.

UI Tests on Xcode Cloud fail due to Simulator randomly showing Apple logo
Hello everyone! When I run UI Tests on Xcode Cloud, I often encounter unexpected failures. Checking the screen recording, I found that the iOS Simulator could go into a black screen with a white Apple logo and a progress bar for a period after the test starts. This behavior of the Simulator causes my app's UI Tests to fail randomly, which greatly affects the practical use of UI Tests. I suspect this phenomenon is unrelated to my app and test cases, so I'm asking if anyone else has encountered a similar issue. 🤔

App Store Connect Upload Fails with Icon Alpha Channel Error in Xcode 26 Beta 4
After updating to Xcode 26 Beta 4, I can no longer upload my app to App Store Connect due to a WatchKit icon validation error. The error states: Invalid Icon. The watch application 'YourApp.app/Watch/YourWatchApp.app' contains an icon file 'Icon Image-AppIcon-watch-1024x1024 @1x.png' with an alpha channel. Icons should not have an alpha channel. • This file name doesn’t exist in the asset catalog or project source. • All icon assets used in the Watch App’s AppIcon set, including the required 1024x1024 icon, were checked with sips -g hasAlpha and confirmed to not contain an alpha channel. • Project was cleaned, derived data cleared, and archive recreated multiple times. • This issue only began after updating to Xcode 26 Beta 4. In the previous versions, everything was ok. Is anyone else experiencing this after upgrading Xcode to Beta 4? Any idea/workaround on how to solve this would be appreciated.

Package created with pkgbuild installs zero-byte file
Just recently, any pkg file that I create with pkgbuild will install the Payload's application as a zero-byte file in the /Applications directory. This has been working for years without issue for me. Here are the commands I am using with company specific items replaced: pkgbuild --analyze --root MyApplicationRootDirectory standalone.plist plutil -replace BundleIsRelocatable -bool NO standalone.plist pkgbuild --identifier MyIdentifier --version 1.0 --install-location /Applications --root MyApplicationRootDirectory --component-plist standalone.plist --sign 'Developer ID Installer: MyCompany (MySignId)' --timestamp installer.pkg Any ideas on what could be causing the issue? I have verified the following: The application being added to the pkg is both signed and notarized using the correct Developer ID Application certificate. The resultant pkg file is both signed and notarized using the Developer ID Installer certificate. Verified the pkg contents using "pkgutil --expand" to dump the contents. Verified the pkg's Payload contents by extracting the data using "cat Payload | gunzip | cpio -1". This results in an application file that is a binary match for file added in the "pkgbuild --root" argument. My application is the only file within the directory passed to the "pkgbuild --root" argument. There are no warnings in the System Settings / Privacy & Security Panel when running the package installer. I have a valid Mac Developer account. I am building the application and the pkg file on the same computer. Thank you for any insight.

The async/await API crashes in Xcode 16.3 and later
We use several UIKit and AVFoundation APIs in our project, including: setAlternateIconName(_:completionHandler:) getAllTasks(completionHandler:) loadMediaSelectionGroup(for:completionHandler:) Moreover, we use the Swift Concurrency versions for these APIs: @MainActor func setAlternateIconName(_ alternateIconName: String?) async throws var allTasks: [URLSessionTask] { get async } func loadMediaSelectionGroup(for mediaCharacteristic: AVMediaCharacteristic) async throws -> AVMediaSelectionGroup? Everything worked well with these APIs in Xcode 16.2 and earlier, but starting from Xcode 16.3 (and in 16.4), they cause crashes. We've rewritten the APIs to use completion blocks instead of async/await, and this approach works. Stack traces: setAlternateIconName(_:completionHandler:) var allTasks: [URLSessionTask] { get async } loadMediaSelectionGroup(for:completionHandler:) Also, I attached some screenshots from Xcode 16.4.

Unsupported SDK or Xcode version on iOS 26 builds
Since first beta of iOS 26 I've created a workflow where I can deploy to TestFlight the builds compiled using the iOS 26 SDK, and it has worked fine until yesterday when I started receiving this error: Unsupported SDK or Xcode version. Your app was built with an SDK or version of Xcode that isn’t supported. Although you can use beta versions of SDKs and Xcode to build and upload apps to App Store Connect, you need to use the latest Release Candidates (RC) for SDKs and Xcode to submit the app. For details on currently supported SDKs and versions of Xcode, visit: https://developer.apple.com/news/releases. I haven't changed anything in the workflow so I suspect it's a bug on Apple side? Or am I missing something? It is set to use "Latest Beta or Release" for both Xcode and macOS, archive and deploy to TestFlight Internal Testing. Thank you!

There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support.
I'm encountering an issue while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program using the mobile app. Every time I attempt to proceed, I receive the following error message: "There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue." I have verified my account information and followed all the necessary steps. I sent an email to Apple, but I haven’t received a response for several days. I’d be grateful for any help if anyone else has experienced this issue.

No screenshot files in XCResult files using Xcode 16.1
Hello, I am using Xcode 16.1 (16B40) on MacOS Sequoia 15.1.0 using a Macbook pro M1 Max I am developing an app for iOS 17 and 18 using SwiftUI I created UITests to take the screenshots for the appStore on the simulator The tests run well and all of them are succeded The problem appears when I try to get the screenshot files from the xcresult files after the test. There is not any screenshot inside it. I found a data folder and a Info.plist file. In the data folder there are a lot of files with this pattern data.03zD4C6IGFFthK14NwA8mNvcwFHT16g6Tl40Tl1YmBC1bNh6d0YIcnWKyUaQPDXoa8fYo6C3Xcv8xvMtE3_NEXA== and other files with this pattern refs.03zD4C6IGFFthK14NwA8mNvcwFHT16g6Tl40Tl1YmBC1bNh6d0YIcnWKyUaQPDXoa8fYo6C3Xcv8xvMtE3_NEXA== Ok, I tryed to use fastlane to automatize the screenshots but the problem is still present. The xcresult files have not any png file. I had no problems doing this action (getting screenshots from a xcresult file) in previous versions of MacOS and Xcode in my current machine. I just updated my machine to MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 and the problem is still present Honestly I don't know how to fix this situation. With Xcode 15 I had not any problem with that but I am not sure if Xcode 16.0 was runing without problems because I didn't need to use this functionality in those months Here is my code for a UITest: import XCTest final class ScreenshotsUITests: XCTestCase { let app = XCUIApplication() let device = "iPhone16" override func setUpWithError() throws { continueAfterFailure = true } override func tearDownWithError() throws {} @MainActor func testEnglishScreens() throws { let lang = "en" app.launchArguments.append("UITestMode") app.launchArguments += ["-AppleLanguages", "(en)"] app.launchArguments += ["-AppleLocale", "en_US"] app.launch() executeTestsForMenus(lang: lang, backLabel: "Back") executeTestForMatch(lang: lang) } @MainActor func testSpanishScreens() throws { let lang = "es" app.launchArguments.append("UITestMode") app.launchArguments += ["-AppleLanguages", "(es)"] app.launchArguments += ["-AppleLocale", "es_ES"] app.launch() executeTestsForMenus(lang: lang, backLabel: "Atrás") executeTestForMatch(lang: lang) } private func executeTestForMatch(lang: String) { let startButton = app.buttons["start-button"] startButton.tap() let key4 = app.buttons["key-4"] XCTAssertTrue(key4.waitForExistence(timeout: 30), "Key 4 in match screen is not found") key4.tap() let key2 = app.buttons["key-2"] XCTAssertTrue(key2.exists, "Key 2 in match screen is not found") key2.tap() makeScreenShot("playing", lang: lang) let closeButton = app.buttons["close-button"] XCTAssertTrue(closeButton.exists, "Close button in match screen is not found") closeButton.tap() } private func executeTestsForMenus(lang: String, backLabel: String) { let mainHeader = app.staticTexts["Math match"] XCTAssertTrue(mainHeader.exists, "Header in main screen is not found") makeScreenShot("mainMenu", lang: lang) let settingsButton = app.buttons["settings-button"] XCTAssertTrue(settingsButton.exists, "Settings button in main screen is not found") settingsButton.tap() makeScreenShot("Settings", lang: lang) let backButton = app.buttons[backLabel] XCTAssertTrue(backButton.exists, "Back button in match screen is not found") backButton.tap() let helpButton = app.buttons["help-button"] XCTAssertTrue(helpButton.exists, "Help button in main screen is not found") helpButton.tap() makeScreenShot("Help", lang: lang) backButton.tap() let scoreButton = app.buttons["score-button"] XCTAssertTrue(scoreButton.exists, "Scores button in main screen is not found") scoreButton.tap() makeScreenShot("Scores", lang: lang) backButton.tap() let playButton = app.buttons["play-button"] XCTAssertTrue(playButton.exists, "Play button in main screen is not found") playButton.tap() makeScreenShot("matchBuilder", lang: lang) let startButton = app.buttons["start-button"] XCTAssertTrue(startButton.exists, "Start button in match builder screen is not found") } private func makeScreenShot(_ name: String, lang: String) { takeScreenshot(app, named: "\(lang)-\(name)-\(device)") } } import XCTest extension XCTestCase { func takeScreenshot(_ app: XCUIApplication, named name: String, fullScreen: Bool = false) { let screenshot: XCUIScreenshot if fullScreen { screenshot = app.windows.firstMatch.screenshot() } else { screenshot = XCUIScreen.main.screenshot() } let screenshotAttachment = XCTAttachment( uniformTypeIdentifier: "public.png", name: "screenshot-\(name).png", payload: screenshot.pngRepresentation, userInfo: nil) screenshotAttachment.lifetime = .keepAlways add(screenshotAttachment) } } and here is the content of my testplan file: { "configurations" : [ { "id" : "35BC7C0B-9A5A-4027-9F30-36958C4C1AAF", "name" : "Test Scheme Action", "options" : { "preferredScreenCaptureFormat" : "screenshot", "testExecutionOrdering" : "random", "uiTestingScreenshotsLifetime" : "keepAlways", "userAttachmentLifetime" : "keepAlways" } } ], "defaultOptions" : { "targetForVariableExpansion" : { "containerPath" : "container:myAppProject.xcodeproj", "identifier" : "B27D1B022CA00314001A259B", "name" : "MyAppProject" } }, "testTargets" : [ { "parallelizable" : true, "target" : { "containerPath" : "container:MyAppProject.xcodeproj", "identifier" : "B27D1B122CA00315001A259B", "name" : "MyAppProjectTests" } }, { "parallelizable" : true, "target" : { "containerPath" : "container:MyAppProject.xcodeproj", "identifier" : "B27D1B1C2CA00315001A259B", "name" : "MyAppProjectUITests" } } ], "version" : 1 } I made tests with old projects in my machine and those projects have the same problem with screenshot files in the xcresult bundles I don't know if the problem is in my machine, my Xcode, MacOS or other ting. I don't know how to fix this problem Please, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance

Xcode26: download stuck on 'fetching'
I just downloaded Xcode26, and am trying to download the new simulator to be able to run and test my app. But the downloads folder just shows that it's stuck on "Fetching download information ..." even 15 minutes after it started. I tried restarting Xcode but didn't help. Internet connection is good. Any tips to get it working?
