Apple is behind with AI
It would be nice for Apple to integrate chatgpt, Open AI, and create their own artificial intelligence. Siri is not equipped to answer questions that AI can. With increasing AI prevalence and usability, Apple is behind. Message to Apple: PLEASE UTILIZE AI TO MAKE APPLE THE BEST PLATFORM.

Xcode 15 performance tests ignore baseline
I'm trying to write performance tests with Xcode 15, but it's not working: even though setting a baseline seems to work (baseline data files are created), Xcode seems to ignore that baseline altogether whenever the test is run. As a result, performance tests never fail, no matter how bad performance gets. The source editor persistently displays a “No baseline average for Time” message. Has anyone else encountered this? Figured out how to sidestep the issue? Of note, the issue is easily reproduced: create a new (macOS in my case) app project with tests, add a dummy performance test; run the test once and save its baseline, and despite this subsequent tests will always succeed, even if you significantly slow the dummy test down. (I've filed this as FB13330139)

Download container not success on iOS 17 / Xcode 15
I try to use "Download container" on "Devices and Simulators". But on iOS 17, xcappdata file size is 4KB and ''AppData" folder is empty. On iOS 15, xcappdata file size is 2MB and success downloaded.

Using Adhoc Profile for DriverKit show error: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS
We got an app for iPad which has two targets one for the App itself (MainApp target ) and another one for the Driver ( Driver Target ) using DriverKit. The app works fine in Development, but I'm trying to distribute it with adhoc. I've requested the Distribution Entitlement to Apple, after getting it, the App Id for the Driver has the following Capabilities: DriverKit, DriverKit (development), DriverKit USB Transport (development), DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID, In-App Purchase Now in the profile section, I've created a adhoc profile for the Driver AppId (Identifier). Obviously I've also created an Adhoc profile for the Main AppId Finally in the Signing & Capabilities Section I set up the profiles for MainApp target, int the Debug one I set up the Development one and int the Release one I set up the adhoc one. I do the same in the Driver Target, but when I set up the Adhoc one in the Release, I've got a warning: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile Also interestingly the Signing Certificate section says: None I also set up the Capabilities for the Driver Target: DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID DriverKit USB Transport ( Development ) Inside these capabilities I set up the vendor ID as dictionary The problem is, if I try to Archive the app I will get the previous Warning message as error: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks

What is "bridgeOS Device Support" for?
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.)

Development Team not showing in Xcode under Team in Signing
I was invited to a new development team yesterday, and I can not choose that team under the Team drop down of Signing & Capabilities in Xcode. Also, when I first login to Apple Developer, this team is not in the main drop down (the teams dropdown). But if I go into "Apps", then I can see the team in the teams dropdown in the top right of the screen and switch to it. Anyone know what's going on?

Can't renew, can't update contact info
I originally created my Apple Developer account when I was living in Canada (years ago). Now that I live in the U.S. I want to renew it, but I can't - because it thinks I'm still in Canada. When I go to change my contact information, I get a screen that says: "Unauthorized Your account can’t access this page. There may be certain requirements to view this content. If you’re a member of a developer program, make sure your Account Holder has agreed the latest license agreement." What do I do?

How can I use a CreateML model in Swift Playgrounds
I am trying to implement a ML model with Core ML in a playground for a Student Challenge project, but I can not get it to work. I have already tried everything I found online but nothing seems to work (the tutorials where posted long time ago). Anyone knows how to do this with Xcode 15 and the most recent updates?

Xcode debugger doesn't pause on breakpoints (simulator SDK < iOS 17)
Hello. I'm seeing an inconsistent behavior where breakpoints I set in my (Swift) iOS app behave normally when I'm debugging on a device or on a simulator running iOS 17.x, but when I try using simulators of iOS 16 or 15 the breakpoints get ignored completely. I also observe that the breakpoints remain solid blue and do NOT adopt the dotted blue outline, as experienced by other users. I've seen a few posts on here and on SO about the general issue of ignored breakpoints (with no conclusive answer AFAIK), but I haven't seen any where the behavior varies with the SDK being used. The behavior is repeatable and predictable (within the same app at least). I am not adding the breakpoints after building/running, and I'm sure the logic reaches the lines with the breakpoints (and again, whenever I switch to an iOS 17 simulator, execution does pause as expected with the exact same breakpoints). Things I've tried and looked into: Clean up project build folder Delete and re-install simulators (iOS 16.4 and 15.5) Deleted the entire derived data directory, as well as the CoreSimulator one. Confirm the build configuration is Debug, and the "Debug executable" option is checked. inspect various build flags mentioned in other posts: {Swift compiler - Code generation - Optimization level - Debug: -0none; Debug information format: DWARF (I also tried DWARF with dSYM with no impact)}. Most of my settings are on the plain vanilla/out of the box side, with only a couple of SPM dependencies, and I've been maintaining the same app for about 5 years and don't think I've come across this behavior before. Currently using Xcode 15.1. Deployment target is 14.0. Thank you.

xcode15.1/15.2 debug does not show the value but only the address of its pointer
xcode15.1 debug does not show the value on the real machine but only the address of the pointer, but on the emulator it shows the normal value. But in the emulator it shows the normal value. xcode15.2 debug doesn't show the value but only the address of the pointer in both the real machine and the emulator. In Xcode14, the value is displayed normally in both the real machine and the emulator. What do I need to do to get it back to the way it was in Xcode14?

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. 🤔

How to create a new asset catalog in a package

iOS simulator triggers lots of "*** quit unexpectedly" alerts
Everytime when iOS simulator is launched I het a lot of repeated "*** quit unexpectedly" alerts. Where "***" is a mix of "managedappdistributiond","healthappd", and "findmylocated" Even after the simulator is launched I still het random "*** quit unexpectedly" alerts. Very annoying because the alerts deactivates the active window This is on an MacBook Pro M3 Max,, Xcode 15.2, Sonoma 14.2.1, it also happens with Xcode 15.1 A co developer (MacBook Pro M1 Max,Xcode 15.2, Sonoma 14.2.1) does not have the issue Any idea how I can prevent this from happening? Update Every mentioned service crash happens in libswiftCore.dylib at 0x1929f3938 assertionFailure(:_:file:line:flags:) + 248

tvOS icon missing layers
I have an AppleTV app which I released in 2016. I've updated it and released a new version every year without much hassle. This year, with tvOS 17.2, the layered app icon isn't working right. This is a two-layer image made with PNGs. When it's selected, it looks right and the layers move correctly: But when it's not selected, the background layer disappears: Screenshots are from the simulator but it also happens on the device. It's inconsistent; sometimes it's the front layer that disappears. Occasionally both layers work, but I can't tell why. I've spent a day trying everything. Very frustrated. The icon previews correctly in Xcode and in Parallax Viewer. The image sizes are correct: 400 x 240 for Small, 800 x 480 for Small@2x, 1280 x 768 for Large. The back layer is a non-transparent PNG. I tried adding a Large@2x set. Didn't help. Originally I had a three-layer image with no middle layer PNG. I deleted the empty middle layer, but that didn't help. All the PNG files are from GnuIMP. Same color space, even. I was using the filenames tvicon-back-s.png and tvicon-back-s@2x.png. I tried taking out the @ sign in case that was confusing Xcode. (It never has before, but I am flailing here.) Anybody have any clues? If it's an Apple bug and there's nothing I can do, I'm going to just push the release button and hope it fixes itself someday.

Problem recording CPU Counters on an M1: xctrace record: Failed to start the recording: Failed to force all hardware CPU counters
Context I'm trying to profile a binary (a simple C++ program compiled into dummy.o) and collect CPU Counters data. I have a configuration that works fine from the Instruments Counters GUI (see Screenshots below). I've exported this configuration to a template file named prof1.tracetemplate. Problem When I try to run a recording with that same template from the command line with xctrace (I also tried with sudo): $ xctrace record --template prof1.tracetemplate --launch dummy.o I get the following errors: Starting recording with the prof1 template. Launching process: dummy.o. Ctrl-C to stop the recording Run issues were detected (trace is still ready to be viewed): [Error] Unexpected failure: Couriers have returned unexpectedly.

XCode Error WatchOS version doesn't match deployment target, watch fully updated
I am trying to build my watch app on my series 4 Apple watch currently running WatchOS 10.3 with a deployment target of 10.2 and Xcodes claims that my watch's OS version is too low. I have fully updated my watch to 10.3, tried to downgrade the deployment target to no avail. Xcode doesn't seem to be getting any data on what OS version my watch is running. It says watchOS () in the manage run destinations page. I imagine this is a problem with the connection between my watch and my mac but I cannot solve it. Any advice?
