Background and Issue Details Currently, I am working on an Xcode project, and even after correctly setting up the Info.plist file, I am encountering build errors. Despite verifying all configurations related to Info.plist, the following errors persist during the build process: Error Messages １、Multiple commands produce '/path/to/DerivedData/Info.plist' ・The error suggests that there might be a conflict or duplication of Info.plist in the Copy Bundle Resources phase, but only one Info.plist exists in the project. ２、duplicate output file ・A warning indicating that there is a conflict with the output file path for the Info.plist file during the build process. Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue １、Verified Info.plist Files in the Project ・Checked the project directory for any duplicate Info.plist files using the following command: find . -name "*.plist" Only one Info.plist file exists in the project. ・Used the grep command to inspect the project.pbxproj file for INFOPLIST_FILE references: grep -r "INFOPLIST_FILE" ./MyProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj The INFOPLIST_FILE settings point to the correct Info.plist file. ２、Checked Copy Bundle Resources ・Verified the Copy Bundle Resources build phase and ensured that only one Info.plist file is listed. Deleting it results in the Target Membership checkbox being unchecked, and the error persists. ３、Cleared Cache ・Deleted DerivedData and Xcode cache directories to ensure no stale data is causing the issue: rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode ４、Created a New Project ・Created a new project and set up a fresh Info.plist file with minimal content, but the same error occurred. Current Project Settings ・The contents of the Info.plist file are as follows: ５、Xcode Version ・The version of Xcode I'm using is 15.2 ・OS is Ventua13.7.1 Questions ・What could cause the Multiple commands produce and duplicate output file errors in this scenario? ・Are there any other settings or configurations I should investigate beyond the Info.plist file and build phases? ・Have there been similar cases reported by other developers, and what were the solutions? ・Could you provide a step-by-step guide to test the functionality of Info.plist in a minimal project while avoiding duplication errors? ・Is there an official or alternative workflow to create a project where Info.plist duplication errors are preemptively avoided? ・Additionally, what are the best practices for linking Info.plist in Build Settings and avoiding conflicts during the build process? Thank you.

Hello ! I recently created an Apple Developer account and I registered with my Apple ID. But before that, I am added as a Developer in an organization. The problem now is that I can't switch between the organization's account and my personal account. On App Store Connect and Appel Developer. How to solve this problem?! Please.

Since recently (maybe after updating to Sonoma 14.7.1 - 23H222, but not sure, I get a crash report stating that SafariBookmarksSyncAgent quitted unexpectedly Once acquitted the report, it will reappear 2 minutes later as long as Xcode is open. Configuration: Sonoma 14.7.1 Safari Technology Preview Release 208 (Safari 18.2, WebKit 19621.1.5.1) Xcode 15.3 (15E204a) That seems to be a known problem. Question: Is it due to MacOS version ? To Xcode version ? To Safari version ? To webKit version ? Or to simulator, as I gat an AegirPoster crash (as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77083912/macbook-pro-crashes-when-using-simulator-aegirposter-process) I read that I would need to restart some devices (eg, iPhone).

Hiya, I am having issues trying to use previews in the xcode 15 beta, i am using an M2 macbook air with 8gb of ram. I am using MacOS Sonoma and iOS 17.0 Beta 1 and am struggling using previews, the base simulator works but no previews. I am not receiving any error so am very confused. Any help would be majorly appreciated. Thanks, Gus

SwiftUI preview hangs on "Preparing iPhone Simulator for Previews". Also simulator hangs when trying to build and run. This occurred after I installed iOS 17 simulator. I tried reverting back to an iOS 16 version of the simulator, but haven't figured out how to do that. Build and run to an iPhone device works fine. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is probably a beginner's mistake, but I can't find anything about this error anywhere, and it's completely reproducible, even on GitHub Runners and with a fresh Xcode project. The error doesn't seem to be caused by the Swift package used, Defaults, but by xcodebuild. macOS Sequoia 15.2 (24C101) Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) Defaults Version 9.0.0 When following Defaults' installation instructions, building and archiving from Xcode still works fine, but building with xcodebuild always fails with this error: Copy /Users/user/DefaultsTest/build/Release/DefaultsTest.app/Contents/Resources/Defaults_Defaults.bundle /Users/user/DefaultsTest/build/Release/Defaults_Defaults.bundle (in target 'DefaultsTest' from project 'DefaultsTest') cd /Users/user/DefaultsTest builtin-copy -exclude .DS_Store -exclude CVS -exclude .svn -exclude .git -exclude .hg -resolve-src-symlinks /Users/user/DefaultsTest/build/Release/Defaults_Defaults.bundle /Users/user/DefaultsTest/build/Release/DefaultsTest.app/Contents/Resources error: /Users/user/DefaultsTest/build/Release/Defaults_Defaults.bundle: No such file or directory (in target 'DefaultsTest' from project 'DefaultsTest') I made a fresh, reproducible Xcode project here: https://github.com/F1248/DefaultsTest And a failing GitHub Action here: https://github.com/F1248/DefaultsTest/actions/runs/12303972248/job/34340347771 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Following the presentation from 2022 https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10002/ that show how to create a MacOs virtual machine, I was wondering if there was a way to share the clipboard between the host and the VM create?

I received a new Macbook Pro (14 inch, M4, 24 GB memory, 1 TB SSD) and now trying to get all development tools working on it. I have installed Mac OS 15.2, Xcode 16.2 and ios 18.2 on my iphone.

Our customers are large enterprises and we need to be able to collect traces on our customers' endpoints in support cases. Especially critical are performance problems. So far we've instructed our customers to use ktrace: sudo ktrace artrace -p appname --type=profile We would then open this trace in Instruments with the CPU profile and load our own symbols. The problem is, that symbols for system libraries are missing. In one instance we see that all of the high load is coming from a syscall made by libpcap. But all symbols other than our own are missing. How can we collect traces which include those symbols? I tried to use ktrace symbolicate in tests where I recorded a trace and then used ktrace symbolicate to collect system lib symbols, but it fails for most libraries, including libpcap and the syscalls. This is somewhat surprising, because dyld_info -exports /usr/lib/libpcap.A.dylib is able to print the symbols including offsets. So what is the recommended workflow for this scenario? Installing Xcode is of course not an option on a customer machine, especially not in an enterprise scenario.

We have a dependency, Apollo iOS, that is managed by SwiftPM in an internal module Swift Package. That internal Swift Package is then linked and included in our iOS target. The iOS target has an associated WidgetKit extension app. When archiving the app, we're seeing extremely long "Copy Apollo_Apollo.bundle" build steps, on the magnitude of 15 minutes. This is only happening when copying the bundle for the Widget extension app. Builds are done with Xcode 15.2, but we've tried on 15.4 and 16.2, seeing a few minutes shaved off. How can we begin to debug this issue?

I’ve noticed a good number of strange problems in the IOS development process, so I’m going to track them here. If they’re resolved at some point, I’ll note it. At least in my first attempt, letting Appleconnect build my code resulted in a build with no errors that could not be submitted for review. The solution for me was to build from Xcode. It took a while to stumble on that, so if you have problems with one way, try the other. Xcode doesn’t show Info.plist by default. This is a particularly nasty bug that caused a great deal of trouble, being the biggest reason I had so much trouble getting my first app submitted for review. The only way I found to get around it was to make a small change to one of the items under the Info tab under the project name/icon in Xcode. Then, the Info.plist showed up! SwiftUI and SwiftData are siloed off from each other, so if you have a list, the view is controlled by SwiftUI. This means that if a user moves an item in a list, SwiftData is not informed. If the user quits the app, the order will revert to the last saved version! So you must resort to tracking the order in your code and adjusting your query accordingly.

In my Mac's Settings -> General -> Storage -> Developer -> (i) I have a series of entries for "bridgeOS", all 2.49 GB except one that is "zero". Do I need these? Can I remove them? I am only doing "normal" iPhone / iPad development. (There was some previous mention of this here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/711279 with no feedback.)

I am new to Xcode and coding in general. I am trying to resolve an issue with my CI in GitHub, which I think is coming from a path issue. To summarize my approach: I start by creating a GitHub repo, I then clone that to a outer folder (e.g., TEST) on my desktop, which results in desktop/TEST/TEST/[github files]. When I go to create my Xcode project, it always forces me to create a new folder resulting in desktop/TEST/TEST/TEST/[xcode files]. I want the Xcode files to sit in the repo folder so its desktop/TEST/TEST/[github & Xcode files]. I thought I could drag and drop them in but get a popup blocking it. Any thoughts on how to address this. Thank you in advance.

When launching the SimpleWatchConnectivity sample in a simulator (iOS 18.2 + watchOS 11.2), almost all the functionality works, but TransferFile does not work. The error is the following: -[WCFileStorage persistOutgoingFileTransfer:] error serializing file transfer <WCSessionFileTransfer: ...> due to Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4866 "Caught exception during archival: This object may only be encoded by an NSXPCCoder." How can it be fixed or worked around?

Hello, I am an iOS and Android mobile application developer. However, I have a major issue on the iOS side, and Apple has not resolved this problem for years. My app is an internal company application, so I cannot publish it publicly. This is where the real issue begins. When I distribute the app to my users via an invitation code, any updates I release take a week or even months to appear on their devices. Users have to uninstall the app, go back to the "Purchased Apps" section in the App Store, and reinstall it. Since the app is private, it doesn’t appear in the regular App Store listings. How can I explain this complicated process to my staff, some of whom have limited technical knowledge? Why doesn’t the update button appear, forcing users to navigate to the "Purchased Apps" section for updates? The app doesn’t need to be visible to the general public, but at least let the update button appear when users find the app in the "Purchased Apps" section. I am currently forced to use TestFlight. However, there is another issue: the approval process for TestFlight takes about four days, which is three times longer than the publishing approval process. I am seriously frustrated by this poor user experience. I’ve become disillusioned with Mac and iPhone because of these problems.

When I'm inspecting a WKWebView in a simulator and the WKWebView loads a local URL with a port number, I've found that most features of Safari dev tools that worked in iOS 17 are broken in iOS 18. Here are the steps I'm taking: Set up a WKWebView with isInspectable = true that loads a local URL, e.g. https://www.local.mydomain.com:3000 Install a self-signed SSL certificate on a simulator for www.local.mydomain.com Run my app on the simulator The WKWebView loads successfully In Safari on my Mac, I can select the WKWebView and open dev tools to inspect it If the simulator is on iOS 17, this works fine, no issues. But if the simulator is on iOS 18, Safari dev tools are mostly broken. I can tell that there is a connection to the WKWebView because the Network tab logs the requests that I expect. But I cannot use any of the other dev tools features: Elements, Sources, Console, etc. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a workaround?

Hello, Since Xcode update to 16.1, I can't open some of my storyboard files in Interface Builder. When I click on a storyboard, Xcode takes a long time to load, then crashes. I dont have any errors or warnings and everything works well, I can build and distribute the app, just I can't use my storyboards. MacBook Pro M1 on Sequoia 15.1.1 Any help is welcome!

Background: We are developing an App for both Windows, Android and iOS. Our process is that virtually every pull request must be tested by a tester before being pushed to the main branch. Up until now, we have been distributing the 3 versions to our testers via Microsoft AppCenter. Unfortunately, AppCenter is stopping per 31 March 2025 and we are looking for an alternative method. As the Play Store isn't really useful for us for distributing android apps (a test build can take a few hours before appearing according to their documentation), we may have to look into setting up our own distribution website for our apps. As such I was wondering, rather then using Test Flight for iOS, to also distribute the iOS app via our own website to our testers as it would be easier for our testers to have everything together. Even though our apps are build and signed using an "ad hoc" provisioning profile, it's still not possible to just install the .IPA files just by downloading it. The actual question: So my question is, how can I install our app to our testers from a website. Do I have to set the link as something specific? Or has AppCenter been using a trick not available to us mere mortals? To clarify: I am only asking for distributing to our testers using the ad hoc provisioning profile with the test devices registers at apple. I am NOT asking for distribution to end users, that goes via the App Store as usual.
