Video not working on 16.4 simulator
I'm testing a video stream (HLS) with AVPlayer. On XCode 14.3 and simulators running iOS 16.4, there is no video image, only black screen. The audio is playing normally, also progress/duration of the video is showing as expected. The problem does not occur on same XCode version with earlier versions of the simulator. Is this a simulator bug? I've also tested it on real device with iOS 16.4 - no problem there.

Xcode 15.3 crippled with "internal inconsistency error"
Since Xcode 15.3 it has become impossible to build our project more twice in a row without encountering a batch of "internal inconsistency error: never received target ended message for target ID …". This issues appeared a few months ago (15.0 i think, but i'm not sure), but xcode 15.3 makes it almost unusable. We're a team of 3 iOS devs, and we're all having the problem. Our project involves a lot of SPM packages, a few cocoa pods, a few iOS Frameworks, and a bit of swiftgen. Nothing particularly special for a large project, and no custom build steps that does anything fancy. It is now to the point where we're looking for alternative to xcode, because we can't decently kill xcode and restart every time we have to build our code...

iOS 18 Simulator Crash on Xcode 26: Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb
Hi, When launching my app on the iOS 18 simulator using Xcode 26 beta, the app crashes immediately with a missing symbol error: dyld[23801]: Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb Referenced from: <DDBF5C50-BD0E-34C7-B202-888033A93840> /Users/username/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/058F6615-9288-4164-8736-53CBC962FFD4/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/95B984C9-3197-423C-860C-E714BA34ACCB/MyApp.app/MyApp.debug.dylib Expected in: <443671DB-41AE-3963-8403-E4A484837405> /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/CoreServices Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb Referenced from: <DDBF5C50-BD0E-34C7-B202-888033A93840> /Users/username/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/058F6615-9288-4164-8736-53CBC962FFD4/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/95B984C9-3197-423C-860C-E714BA34ACCB/MyApp.app/MyApp.debug.dylib Expected in: <443671DB-41AE-3963-8403-E4A484837405> /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/CoreServices dyld config: DYLD_SHARED_CACHE_DIR=/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches/dyld/24F74/com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-0.22A3351/ DYLD_ROOT_PATH=/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-dqwvveywparbascmmycuqktsiopv/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator:/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/system/introspection DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libLogRedirect.dylib:/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libBacktraceRecording.dylib:/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libMainThreadChecker.dylib:/usr/lib/libRPAC.dylib:/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GPUToolsCapture.framework/GPUToolsCapture DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-dqwvveywparbascmmycuqktsiopv/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_22A3351/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 18.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/ Notes: I have only tested on the iOS 18 simulator so far. I have not yet tested on earlier iOS versions or physical devices. The app runs fine on iOS 26 simulator using Xcode 26, so the crash seems specific to the iOS 18 simulator. This looks like a system symbol that may not be linked properly in the iOS 18 simruntime. Is this a known issue with the iOS 18 SDK or simulator runtime in Xcode 26 beta? Thanks!

Can't install any apps on my new iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18 from XCode
Error message: Previous preparation error: The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device.; Error mounting image: 0xe800010f (kAMDMobileImageMounterPersonalizedBundleMissingVariantError: The bundle image is missing the requested variant for this device.) I had no issues previously with my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 18 and my XCode 15. Now, after switching to the iPhone 16 Pro, it won't work. I've tried restarting my phone several times, quitting XCode, removing and readding developer mode—nothing quite works.

My macOS Version is Sequoia v15.0.1, Xcode16.0. This problem showed after i upgraded my macOS and Xcode version.

Xcode 16 and iOS 18 project not compiling
I updated Xcode and MacOS recently and haven't been able to compile my Flutter app on iOS devices/simulators since then. The error keeps changing every time I run it but here's one of the output in the terminal after running flutter run: Uncategorized (Xcode): Command SwiftGeneratePch emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure Error (Xcode): no such file or directory: '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/Session.modulevalidation' Error (Xcode): stat cache file '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SDKStatCaches.noindex/iphonesimulator18.0-22A3362- db63dc9361471f152f572502bdbfe70a.sdkstatcache' not found Error (Xcode): unable to rename temporary '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/3F9VRK3CXAUUD/UIKit-1KHQ7M05IF VXC-56601391.pcm.tmp' to output file '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/3F9VRK3CXAUUD/UIKit-1KHQ7M05IF VXC.pcm': 'No such file or directory' Error (Xcode): could not build module 'UIKit' /Users/chiragbhansali/Chirag/Coding/Projects/app/test/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/Flutter.framewo rk/Headers/FlutterAppDelegate.h:7:8 Error (Xcode): could not build module 'Flutter' /Users/chiragbhansali/Chirag/Coding/Projects/app/test/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.h:9:8 Error (Xcode): failed to emit precompiled header '/Users/chiragbhansali/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-eifcguceazlwumgsyzegclqdrbqt/Build/Intermed iates.noindex/PrecompiledHeaders/Runner-Bridging-Header-swift_PB6A5GFLTNPC-clang_3F9VRK3CXAUUD.pch' for bridging header '/Users/chiragbhansali/Chirag/Coding/Projects/app/test/ios/Runner/Runner-Bridging-Header.h' Uncategorized (Xcode): Command PrecompileSwiftBridgingHeader emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure Uncategorized (Xcode): Command SwiftEmitModule failed with a nonzero exit code Uncategorized (Xcode): Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code Could not build the application for the simulator.

Xcode 13 "Missing package product" using local Swift Packages
I have a project I've been working off of for a few years now that makes use of local Swift Packages. In my workspace, I have a "Kit" project that generates a framework using several local Swift Packages as dependencies. In Xcode 12, the local Swift packages resolve correctly and compiles, but each beta of Xcode 13 gives me the error: "[ProjectName].xcodeproj Missing package product '[LocalSwiftPackage]'" Clearing the package cache, derived data, or restarting the application does not resolve the issue. Only Swift Packages that are remotely loaded from a URL are compiled correctly. Using local packages to separate module code, while still being able to edit in the same project, has been essential to my workflow and would hate to see Xcode 13 release with these breaking changes, and I have not seen this issue listed in the known issues for the Xcode 13 release notes. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround?

Associating file extension with my application
My application uses a text file with an extension of .dssfilelist. On Linux I would register the Mime type and associate it with the application in the .desktop file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"> <mime-type type="text/dssfilelist"> <comment>DeepSkyStacker file-list file</comment> <glob pattern="*.dssfilelist" /> </mime-type> </mime-info> I believe that I need to add stuff to the Info.plist for my application, but I also understand that CFBundleTypeExtensions is deprecated. So please could you show me what I now need to add to the Info.plist file so that these files will be registered as "text/dssfilelist" type and associated with my application and to associate a .icns file with it?

Xcode 26.1 ChatGPT very slow
ChatGPT in Xcode 26.1 is super slow for me. What used to complete in a batter f seconds is now taking tens of minutes. Context: M2 Pro MBP, Xcode 26.1, macOS 26.1. CPU stays under 50% while ChatGPT returns. Using the minimal setting. Tried restarting, have verified I have nothing running Electron, no other apps are running. ChatGPT returns fast for the displayed content but the preview window where it renders code per line takes a few seconds per line.
