Hi, Ever since I updated to macOS Tahoe and started using Xcode 26 daily, I've run into an issue where it gets stuck very frequently when launching and running my app in the simulator. It happens with the main app target as well as when running unit tests. If I restart Xcode and the simulator app, it works fine again for a while, but after some use, it goes back to the same situation. In Activity Monitor, Xcode ends up at 1000% CPU utilization for a minute or more, basically rendering the simulator and the debugger stuck. If I untick the "Debug Executable" option in the scheme editor, it works fine as well. Anyone else run into the same situation, or are there any tips I can follow to fix this issue? It makes it really tedious to make changes and then be stalled for a minute or more to see the app run. I've restarted the Mac, erased the booted simulator as well. I'm on a MacBook Pro M4 Pro. Everything used to run fine before macOS Tahoe / Xcode 26 on my main device. In fact, I used to run macOS Tahoe / Xcode 26 beta versions on a separate partition without any problems.

When trying to launch an app built with Xcode in iOS12, differences occur depending on the macOS version on which Xcode is installed. When building with Xcode 26.2 (or Xcode 16.4) installed on macOS Sequoia, installing it on iOS 12 and tapping the app icon launches the app. When building with Xcode 26.2 (or Xcode 16.4) installed on macOS Tahoe, installing it on iOS 12 and tapping the app icon does not launch the app. The following log was displayed upon launch: Dec 15 11:46:35 xxx assertiond[58] <Notice>: Submitting new job for "com.xxx.sample" on behalf of <BKProcess: 0x10151a710; SpringBoard; com.apple.springboard; pid: 48; agency: SystemShell; visibility: foreground; task: running> Dec 15 11:46:35 xxx assertiond[58] <Notice>: Submitted job with label: UIKitApplication:com.xxx.sample[0x2dfd][58] Dec 15 11:46:35 xxx assertiond[58] <Notice>: Unable to get pid for 'UIKitApplication:com.xxx.sample[0x2dfd][58]': No such process (3) The same issue occurs with both .app and .ipa. I would like to know the technical reason behind this, if anyone knows, please let me know.

Created a new project in Xcode 16.3. While adding breakpoints app is crashing every time in Xcode and playground both. Tried with swift 5 and swift 6 getting same error. Crash reason : Couldn't find the Objective-C runtime library in loaded images. Message from debugger: The LLDB RPC server has crashed. You may need to manually terminate your process lldb-rpc-server-2025-04-14-092736.txt

Steps to reproduce: Open Xcode 26.3 → Settings → Intelligence → Claude sign-in Click the sign-in button — spinner begins, never completes An email the arrives with a magic link. The magic link opened a browser page which displayed a 6-digit verification code with instructions reading "enter this verification code where you first tried to sign in" — i.e. back in Xcode. However, Xcode was showing only an endless spinner with no code entry field anywhere in the UI. This is the core bug. I did since manage to complete authentication sign-in through a second browser verification field that eventually appeared after about 10 minutes and did get signed in, but the Claude Intelligence agent still returns "Your request could not be completed" even after successful sign-in and a full Xcode restart. Prior to this bug starting at 10 am on February 19 I had been using the intelligence agent successfully for about a week. Anthropic did have some sort of event on their system around February 18/19 so maybe this has been a result of that. I have notified Anthropic support and Apple Feedback Assistant. Does anybody have a workaround until either anthropic or Apple get back to me?

I am using the latest version of Xcode 16, and I have created a GPX file in my project. However, I am unable to see or select the file to simulate the GPS location. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall Xcode completely, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? How can I resolve this? Thank you.

Will RC be allowed to upload to App Store Connect? I have tried a couple of times with 17A321 and I keep getting unsupported SDK or Xcode version. Submitted feedback FB20178551

Hello, I'm unable to run any test cases in Xcode 16 with the iOS 18 simulator. Steps to Reproduce: Create a new iOS project in Xcode 16 using the default iOS app template with the testing option checked. Run any test or UI test case by clicking the "Play" icon in the Test navigator. Xcode gets stuck at the "Testing" state indefinitely. Environment: macOS 15 beta 8 Xcode 16 beta 6 iOS 18 beta 7 simulator

We have a simple workflow that just runs the Test action on my unit_tests scheme (see Xcode Cloud workflow configuration screenshot). The workflow is configured to use Xcode 16.4 (Latest Release), macOS Sequoia 15.6 (Latest Release), and iOS 18.0 simulators. Today, this workflow has been consistently running indefinitely. The Xcode cloud runner tries to launch the simulator to execute the tests, but it fails. See the error message in the screenshot from Xcode Cloud logs. Link to corresponding build is in my Feedback Assistant ticket. It continues to retry this operation for a very long time — I had one job that ran for over 90 minutes. Link to corresponding build also in that same Feedback Assistant ticket. Are Xcode Cloud runners perhaps currently undergoing maintenance? Or is something else going on. I would appreciate if Xcode Cloud usage from today could be refunded to my team’s account. Feedback Assistant ticket #FB20195292. Error message: MyApp encountered an error (Failed to prepare device 'iPhone 16' for impending launch. (Underlying Error: Unable to boot the Simulator. launchd failed to respond. (Underlying Error: Failed to start launchd_sim: could not bind to session, launchd_sim may have crashed or quit responding)))

Hello, I'm checking to see if anyone else is experiencing an issue downloading the latest beta simulator. When I try to download the iOS 26 beta 5 simulator in Xcode, the download fails instantly. There is no progress, just an immediate error with no message other than the code itself: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41. I've already restarted both Xcode and the Mac multiple times. I have also tried downloading on different networks to rule out a firewall issue.

Hello Team, I try to delete photo from Photos for that i used this method, [[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{ [PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets:@[assetToDelete]]; completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) { }]; This method pops up a dialog with Don't Allow or Delete. But some time in some iPhones not respond PHAssetChangeRequest deleteAssets method that's why that completionHandler not called because of that i can't perform any operation of PHPhotoLibrary then after. If I restart my iPhone then it works. Many users of my app complained about this issue. I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 15.3. But some iOS 12,14,16 users also face the same issue. So what exact issue is there? Is it related to iOS or a method? Thanks, Ankur

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on February 3, 2026. The payment was completed successfully at the time of enrollment, but my membership status has remained “Pending” since then. So far: No request for additional documents or identity verification No phone call from Apple No follow-up email other than the payment confirmation Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but no response yet I understand that verification can take some time, but the complete lack of communication is concerning, especially since this is blocking active development and release planning. If this is a known backlog or system-wide delay, some transparency from Apple would help. I’d also appreciate hearing whether others who enrolled in early February are seeing the same prolonged “Pending” state. Thanks in advance to anyone who can share recent experiences or escalation paths.

I've recently installed 26.1 Beta 3 alongside stable 26.0.1 When building my app with 26.0.1 the final .ipa size is ~17mb, however after building my app with 26.1 Beta 3 the size has increased up to ~22mb The main difference is Assets.car blowing from 1.1mb to 5.6mb (or 8.6mb if I include all icons settings). Upon examining I've found new liquid glass .icon file duplicating itself multiple times as png variants (any, dark, tinted, etc). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I've configured a workflow to run through tests when a PR is changed. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-start-conditions Is it possible to configure it so that the tests don't run while it's a draft PR and to only run it once it's moved to ready for review?

after update to xocde14, build my old project , and get error build: Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code.

Hi all, I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled. Context Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization) My role in App Store Connect: Admin I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked. The Account Holder can access CIP normally. What I see (Problem) In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get: “Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.” In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load. Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not. What we’ve tried / confirmed Membership is active (renewal date is valid) Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP Questions For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People? If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to: create folders copy files into it by dragging them from macOS safe files from safari I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet. The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison. My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5. To reproduce: New folder Launch Files app in iOS simulator Tap into "On my phone" From the top menu tap "New Folder" (nothing happens) Download a file Launch safari Find a file like a PDF to download Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom The "Save" button is grayed out. Copy from macOS Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator the sheet appears with the filename in the text field The "Save" button is grayed out

Hello, I am currently working on personal project based on Matter. I need to create a Basic Video Player as specified in Matter's standard embedding the Media Playback Cluster. I went through the reading of how Apple now supports Matter as a standard : linkText My understanding of the following schematic, is alongside : HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) Framework API Related HAP accessories underneath the homeKit framework. Developpers also find under the Homekit framework : CHIP (Connected Home IP) Framework API Related Matter accessories this time Both types of accessories/devices can be commissioned in the HomeKit ecosystem seemlessly. Each framework has it's documentation : HAP : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/homekit/hmhomemanager CHIP : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter I want through the process of installing XCode and the HomeKit Accessory Simulator. In the list of HomeKit Accessories I did not see any Media related devices : The list of currently supported devices is limited as I read here and will be enriched with time : https://support.apple.com/en-us/102135#:~:text=The%20Home%20app%20currently%20supports,%2C%20temperature%2C%20and%20humidity). In the meantime, as I read the matter documentation, I read several references made to the Media Playback : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/mtrclustermediaplayback https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/mtrbaseclustermediaplayback https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter/clusters#Interacting-with-the-Media-Playback-cluster My questions are : Are Matter Basic Video Players, (Media Playback) supported in HomeKit ? Why aren't they listed in HomeKit Accessory Simulator ? How can I add a Basic Video Player in HomeKit and display it's Media Playback controls once I have added the device to HomeKit ? Thank you for your Answer. Regards David

I'm not able to download my Private key since Yesterday and I get the following error message when I click on "Download" Auth Key can only be downloaded once. This auth key has already been downloaded. I revoked all my existing keys and created new ones and I get the same error message. I tried all the mentioned solutions on this forum and StackOverflow like using Safari,turning off VPNs,removing spaces from Key name, using my iPhone, using a Mac, incognito/private mode on Windows Microsoft Edge, clicking done then pressing download after, right clicking on download Linked File as...nothing seems to work
