Hello, It seems Xcode 26 beta is lagging the OS releases, which is fine. However, how does one install a Beta N + 1 or N + 2 SDK into the older Xcode beta? I'd like to use iOS 26 Beta 8 from the Xcode 26 Beta 6 install I have. I have tried Settings/Components and Devices & Simulators but nothing Beta 7 nor 8 shows up there. Thanks! -- Greg Bolsinga

Hi everyone, I'm totally new to this and am just having fun making an app for myself. I'm attempting to get a broadcastupload extension working, but whatever i do i cant get the replaykit to work. I keep getting this error in xcode: Provisioning profile "Project v6 Broadcast Upload Development" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.replaykit.broadcast entitlement. What I've tried: Created separate App IDs for each target (Explicit App IDs, not Wildcard) Enabled App Groups capability on all three App IDs in Apple Developer Portal Selected the correct App Group for all App IDs Added App Groups capability in Xcode for all targets and all build configurations Created entitlements file with com.apple.developer.replaykit.broadcast: true for Broadcast Upload extension Recreated provisioning profiles multiple times Used manual code signing with correct certificates I'm completely lost. I reached out directly to apple developer support and they just told me to come here... Any help would be grgeatly appreciated.

I'm currently exploring Instruments for profiling and tracing on macOS 15.6.1. I know there is the "network connections" instrument which records TCP/UDP information, however it seems to not include the "lo0" (loopback) interface. Is there a way to configure it so that localhost traffic is included in the recording? as the application I'm tracing uses that and I want that information to be included in traces. The documentation for network-interface-detection schema makes no mention of how it detects interfaces. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to update an old UIKit/CoreData app and am (among other changes) adding CloudKit synchronization support. I enabled CloudKit (ie, set up a new CloudKit domain, enabled CloudKit, Background Mode Remote Notifications, and Push Notifications. When I did this, automatic code signing failed. (see attached for the messages). I tried creating and downloading a new provisioning profile, but that did not help. FB19742743 Can someone help me? I have absolutely no idea of what to do next to get this app signed (and hopefully back into the AppStore soon).

Hi everyone, I’ve run into a strange issue while building my app with Xcode 26 beta 6 (targeting iOS 26). When I include an app icon created using Icon Composer, the build time jumps to over 5 minutes. During this time, I noticed that a utility called AssetCatalogSimulatorAgent is consuming a significant amount of CPU. If I remove the Icon Composer-generated icon from my target, the build completes in about 40 seconds. This behavior is consistent across multiple builds. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known workaround or optimization for icons created with Icon Composer? I’d love to keep using the new icon format, but the build time is becoming a real bottleneck. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Has anyone else run into this issue in Xcode 26? I’m logged into my paid ChatGPT Plus account, but the Xcode integration doesn’t seem to recognize the subscription. After a short period of use, I get the following error: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account.” Since I’m already signed in with a paid account, this looks like either a bug or a limitation specific to Xcode. Is this expected behavior, or has anyone found a workaround to make Xcode properly recognize Plus accounts? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I’m new to iOS development. Previously, I’ve worked with Python and Django, mainly using JetBrains PyCharm PRO. In PyCharm, I really benefit from plugins like "Rainbow Brackets" , which help a lot with readability and code navigation. As someone who wears glasses, I find such visual aids very helpful for reducing eye strain. While exploring Xcode, I noticed that similar built-in features or up-to-date plugin support seem limited. Considering Apple’s strong focus on accessibility and user experience, I was a bit surprised by this. With Xcode 26 coming soon, I’m also wondering if there will be improvements in plugin support or built-in tools like Swift Linter and Swift Format. Are there any current tools or plugins you’d recommend to fill these gaps?

Hi. I have the following code with results in an error message // // ViewController.swift // Accelerometer // // import UIKit import CoreMotion let motion = CMMotionManager() class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet var xaxis: UILabel! @IBOutlet var yaxis: UILabel! @IBOutlet var zaxis: UILabel! let movementManager = CMMotionManager() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() movementManager.startAccelerometerUpdates() movementManager.accelerometerUpdateInterval = 0.1 Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.1, repeats: true) { _ in if let data = self.movementManager.accelerometerData { // self.xaxis.text = String(data.acceleration.x) //self.yaxis.text = String(data.acceleration.y) //self.zaxis.text = String(data.acceleration.z) var xoutput: () = self.xaxis.text = String(data.acceleration.x) var xoutput = xoutput * 9.81 print(xoutput) } } } } I realize that it is not working since the whole value of "xoutput" has a string in it. Any advice on making it so it will be a Double? THANK YOU!

I’m trying to archive my app in Xcode but keep running into issues. When I attempt to archive, I see two errors: “Communication with Apple failed. Your team has no device from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add a device ID in the certificate.” “No profiles were found” — Xcode can’t locate a matching iOS development provisioning profile. I’ve already added the device ID manually, set up my bundle identifier in Apple Connect (which was detected), and signed in with my Apple ID in Xcode. What steps should I take to resolve this? If there’s a thread, article, or anything that explains the fix, I will appreciate if you can share it as well. Also, is it common that I created the project, but my role shows as Admin instead of Account Holder? I tried to find a way to change my role from Admin to Account Holder, but I couldn’t find any resources. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone. I am trying to place accelerometer data on my iPhone App. However, when printing the data, the data is on top of each other and sometimes at the top of the screen. Labels are also abbreviated. I am clueless. I would appreciate any help. Below are photos. Thank you!!

Hello everyone, I’m completely new to programming and Apple development, but I’ve always had the strong wish to learn coding and to work more deeply with Apple’s system structures. My main questions are: How should I best start learning? For example, is Swift Playgrounds the right first step? How should I continue afterwards to gain further knowledge, possibly in areas like system architecture, cybersecurity, or cloud computing (even though I don’t want to commit too early to one direction)? Can you recommend a learning schedule or intensity (e.g., how often per day or week I should practice) for someone who works full-time? Is my current MacBook Air (2020, Intel i3, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD) still suitable for learning and beginner development, or would you recommend upgrading to a newer model? On top of that, my English is not perfect yet – is it possible to improve it alongside learning coding? I’m very motivated to finally start this journey, even though I once turned down an IBM apprenticeship when I was younger. Now I want to give it a real try. Any advice, personal experiences, or learning resources would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

My app (called "MuVis - Music Visualizer") passes the macOS App Store verification, but is failing the iOS verification. The errors indicate a problem with the Swift package github.com/Treata11/CBass.  I have been in touch with the CBass package developer (Treata11) as well as the original BASS developers (un4seen.com).  We think the problem is related to CBass swift-package config (which apparently works fine for mac, but doesn’t for iOS). The source code for the package is at the site package.  All of us think that the package is configured correctly in accordance with the latest Apple package development documentation.  Please tell us what is wrong with this package, and how to make it pass the iOS App Store verification. The Xcode error messages from validation testing include several items similar to: Upload Symbols Failed: inline-code The archive did not include a dSYM for the bass.framework with the UUIDs [18D5DBE2-3250-3EDE-B75C-D81B4E9F05AC, A88554A0-9087-3776-AC05-424B2D52F973, DEB682F5-ABBE-39D5-A0F8-8C01C14E178A]. Ensure that the archive's dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for bass.framework with the expected UUIDs. Since the MuVis app is long and complex, I have written a minimal reproducible example app (called "SwiftCBassDemo") for which source code is available at DemoApp. I am using macOS 15.6.1, Xcode 16.4, and iOS 18.6.2.

I am a recently joined developer. However, I have 5 app builds, and 3 are in live in the App Store. I recently updated from iPhone 13 mini to iPhone 16e. I am logged into iCloud with my personal Apple ID, but in media & purchases, I am logged in with my Apple dev ID (email has my company domain). For some reason, only my oldest app build is visible in testflight on my iPhone. Logging in on MacBook, I see all 5 apps and current builds. Under testflight tab there, the correct group with my email (same as developer account ID) is listed as invited. Yet, none are visible in my iPhone testflight. Clicking on the invite email gives "Couldn't Load App This invitation cannot be accepted because your Apple Account, (redacted) has already been associated to this app." Does anyone, please, have any advice???

Hi all, I'm trying to install the Xcode 26 beta on Tahoe (M4 Mac mini). I tried the latest beta 6 both the universal and the apple silicon version, but at startup the system says the app is corrupted and will be deleted. I tried this multiple times - always with a fresh download. Then I downloaded the beta 5, which told me at startup that there is no macOS SDK available and then Xcode also quits. I want to update/test my macOS apps for the upcoming Tahoe and want to adapt for the new design. On my Mac is the Xcode version 16.4 installed and this is working correctly. In the last years I started with earlier versions of Xcode betas, but this year I'm a little bit more late. Are there any steps I missed or is this a known issue yet? I had never before so much trouble installing any beta. What can I do? Best regards, Jürgen Terpe

Right now, if I added a large swatch of contiguous code, the stage feature in Xcode is all or nothing — either I stage all the changes or I stage none of them. It would be a better UX if after spotting the isolates changes within that swatch that are final if I could select them and stage them. This way, it would be easy for me to easily green light all the changes I know are production ready, and then when I'm done, clearly see those which are not and easily be able to hone in on the changes that require some more thought.

There is a code review (split view) feature. Which is nice. But then when I see a change I want to stage and right click the blue bar in the gutter next to the change, I'm only presented with the option to discard the change, nothing else. So in order to stage I either have to go to the source control window (accessed via the project navigator) or close the code review tool, stage, and then go back to the code review tool.

Hi everyone. I have the following code that I am trying to execute in Xcode. I then install it on my iPhone. It doesn't run at all and I don't know why. Any thoughts? Thank you. import CoreMotion class MyViewController: UIViewController { let motionManager = CMMotionManager() func startAccelerometer() { if motionManager.isAccelerometerAvailable { motionManager.accelerometerUpdateInterval = 0.1 // 10 updates per second motionManager.startAccelerometerUpdates(to: .main) { (data, error) in guard let accelerometerData = data else { return } let x = accelerometerData.acceleration.x let y = accelerometerData.acceleration.y let z = accelerometerData.acceleration.z // Process the x, y, and z acceleration values here print("X: \(x), Y: \(y), Z: \(z)") } } } }

I have managed to configure Apple Intelligence in Xcode to access my deployed models in Azure AI Foundry. However, when I would try to chat with the selected model, I get the following error: Message from Azure OpenAI: Failed request due to: bad request Additional context: {"error": {"code": "BadRequest", "message": "Response API v1 is in GA, please use remove api-version or use api-version=latest."}} Is there a way to remove v1 from the endpoint used or to define an explicit api-version? Or do I have to change my deployment in Azure AI Foundry?

The issue I am facing is that even when I run my app from a physical device, I get the error "No FCM token found," while push notifications are enabled in my Xcode capabilities. I don't see the FCM token generated in the users' collection on Firestore. While the code setup seems good, the same error persists. I have implemented the logic to retrieve the FCM token, hat the necessary permissions are granted in my app.Here are my Firestore rules: rules_version = '2'; service cloud.firestore { match /databases/{database}/documents { // Allow authenticated users to read and write their own user data match /users/{userId} { allow read: if request.auth != null; allow update: if request.auth != null && (request.auth.uid == userId || // Allow FCM token updates request.resource.data.diff(resource.data).affectedKeys().hasOnly(['fcmToken'])); allow create: if request.auth != null; match /followers/{followerId} { allow read: if request.auth != null; allow write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == followerId; } match /following/{followingId} { allow read: if request.auth != null; allow write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId; } match /blockedUsers/{blockedUserId} { allow read, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId; } } // Messages collection match /messages/{messageId} { allow create: if request.auth != null && (request.resource.data.senderId == request.auth.uid || request.resource.data.receiverId == request.auth.uid); allow read, update, delete: if request.auth != null && (resource.data.senderId == request.auth.uid || resource.data.receiverId == request.auth.uid); } // Chats collection match /chats/{chatId} { allow create: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid in request.resource.data.participants; allow read, update, delete: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid in resource.data.participants; } // Call-related documents match /calls/{callId} { allow create: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid in [request.resource.data.callerId, request.resource.data.receiverId]; allow read, write: if request.auth != null && (request.auth.uid == resource.data.callerId || request.auth.uid == resource.data.receiverId); } // Posts match /posts/{postId} { allow read: if true; allow create, update: if request.auth != null; allow delete: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == resource.data.userId; } // Reports match /reports/{reportId} { allow create: if request.auth != null; allow read: if request.auth != null; allow update: if request.auth != null; } // ✅ New livestreams collection rule added here match /livestreams/{document} { allow read, write: if request.auth != null; } } } [my index.js](https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/bffd0276-ece5-4ce9-b08b-83e8770cb8f2) [My code of class AppDelegate](https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/abba6a58-d513-49d4-a1d4-dc7dfae56e0a) [code of class AVDelegateWrapper:](https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/acd15ac0-ba9e-415f-9503-aea88377e92f) ` [struct ContentView](https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/4f75c535-860e-488f-835b-63c76586ac50) ` [And for after Login code : ](https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/f6af060e-f2bb-417f-af08-a946dd650474) `
