Hi everyone, I’ve been trying since yesterday to set up an Apple Watch app alongside my iOS app, but it’s not working at all. I created the app by adding a new target, selected watchOS > App, and linked it to my iOS project. When I run the Apple Watch scheme directly, the app works, but if I try to install it on my Apple Watch via the iOS app, it doesn’t work. Every time I tap install, I get a message saying that the installation failed. While reading the documentation, they mention an Info.plist file that is supposed to be generated with the watchOS app, but when I check, I don’t see any .plist file. Is that normal? Thanks for your help.

Hi! I am having trouble getting my app to build successfully or archive since an xcode update a few months ago. Below is the error that shows in the log. Thank you in advance for any help! Run custom shell script 'Run Script' Failed to package [project folder]. Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

M3 MBP running Sequoia 15.4.1 and Xcode 16.4 Mac is (old school) AD bound Mac is managed by Intune, and is set to allow apps to be run from anywhere. When we try to build and run anything in Xcode, we get the error in the title. Pertinent log entries: mcxalr{94} ** Denying execute for uid=1474851099 path=/Users//Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/mactest2-gevqwurjuobygdaiwboubirauoxv/Build/Products/Debug/mactest2.app/Contents/MacOS/mactest2 If we run it from an AD account that is set up as a local admin, then we get the OS dialog saying: You don't have permissions to use the application "mactest2." For more information, contact the person who set up your account. If that user logs out, and we log in with a "true" local admin account (UID 501), then we get the same results, BUT the OS dialog gives us the option to grant access to the app. (for whatever reason, the auth dialog seems to be created by ScreenTime.) Signing is set up correctly, but we're not trying to distribute anything, just literally trying to run the generic "hello world" default macOS app project.

I am trying to record the requests and responses in a WKWebView, but instruments does not seem to record them. Is this to be expected? The webView is set to inspectable, and I am using the HTTP Traffic instrument. All the requests the app is doing are recorded, but neither the original request for the webView, nor subsequent traffic is recorded. When I use Safari to inspect the webView, all I see is the last page (even when I start the inspector before the first request is made). How can I see these requests?

I just want to rant why is Xcode such a bad ide and I wish Apple can do a better job on Xcode. Here's why: The preview is so slow. Most of the times it's just faster for me to test on a real device. It is so slow, and many times I need to force quite after it's being unresponsive for sometimes. When I'm working on larger projects, the loading time becomes extremely slow especially when there's other clients that might be reading the same files like a Git client or simply iCloud. The breakpoint is so slow. I don't know why, is it an iOS thing? But when I'm on ASP.Net the breakpoints are super fast. For Xcode it takes a long time to pause and show data. It's so big I don't know why it is so hard for Apple to make their ide better. The community has been unsatisfied with Xcode for a long time. There's many tricks on the internet that you can find to help you resolve some issues with your project that's actually related to Xcode. Instead of using these tricks, Apple should just fix these issues. Learn from Intellij!

I am trying to setup a unversal linking for my new developing app. but it look like not function well. did any one have some examples or demo domains suggest to use? In fact finally my app is just internal using, user will not suppose connect to internet , how can I using the universal linking without a website ? Thanks

Hi, I am currently working on a MacOS App, where I need the undistortion function of opencv. But after I tried to add opencv to my project, I get following error: unexpected service error: The Xcode build system has crashed. Build again to continue. Cleaning the build folder also doesn't help. Does anyone have an idea what could be the issue? Ryan

■Confirmation My post on the Apple Developer Forums is not published even though it have been reviewed. Does any work need to be done at the time of submission or after review in order to be published? ■Background of the question I posted one on the Apple Developer Forums yesterday. Immediately after posting, a message saying "It will be published if it passes the review" was displayed on the screen. This morning, that message disappeared, so I thought the post had been published, but my post was not displayed on the post list screen. I tried searching for the post title, but it doesn't appear for a while.

On my M4 Mac running macOS 15.5 using Xcode 16.4 & Xcode CLT 16.4, Swift code in my Swift Package Manager 5.9 project (https://github.com/mas-cli/mas) builds fine against some included Objective-C headers via the following command line: swift build -c release But cannot find modules for the included Objective-C headers when building inside Xcode 16.4 or with the following command line on the same Mac: xcodebuild -scheme mas -configuration Release -destination platform=macOS,arch=arm64,variant=macos The error is: Sources/mas/AppStore/AppleAccount.swift:9:16: error: no such module 'StoreFoundation' How can I get Xcode / xcodebuild to work? Note that the project is normally built by running: Scripts/build which runs: swift build -c release after running the following script, which must be run before any build (swift, Xcode, or xcodebuild) because it generates a necessary file (Sources/mas/Package.swift): Scripts/generate_package_swift I've tried moving the Objective-C headers into include subfolders of their existing module folders, using double quotes instead of angle brackets for the #import statements, having module.modulemap files in the include subfolders or their parent module folder, and moving the module folders one level up the file hierarchy, to no avail. I've also tried various changes to the root-level Package.swift (not the generated one deeper in the hierarchy, which isn't inclined in the build configuration), like making separate library targets for each of the Objective-C modules, various swiftSettings & linkerSettings, etc. Maybe some of those changes would have helped, but maybe they were in incorrect combinations. Thanks for any help.

I have submitted an Apple Developer enrollment application on 2024-March-18, and it's still "IS BEING PROCESSED". And I have submitted multiple support tickets and asked for the status, and ALL of the replies are "uNDer rEvIEW". For real? 423 days? How can it possibly take this long? This is beyond unreasonable. I need a real update on my application—enough with the generic responses. My enrollment ID is 7AR6PGYR9R.

Xcode 16.3 repeatedly logs a same message very frequently, as fast as a single thread can. I use Instruments and Console and find out the log is: Needs flush! by -[DNTBrotliDecoder decodeBytes:length:] in DNTDocumentationSupport. The call is on a single non-main thread. I've tried to clear caches and it seems doesn't change. Yet I don't know exact point when the logging starts since launch. Fortunately, this thread is dispatched at E cores, bringing approximately 2 watts of power load to my Mac. Environments: macOS 15.4 (24E248) Xcode 16.3 (16E140) M4 chip

I want to check the disassembly code of vImage function by Instrument. But when I double click the stack of time profiler, I can see nothing. My Mac is intel chip and iPhone is 14 pro max Xcode version is 16.3. How can I fix this(maybe no .dSYM in iOS device support?)

Hey, I'm already waiting for enrollment approval for more then 2 months. apple not communicate with me and not answer to my emails. I attache everything that was needed but they just disappear. is there a way to call them or something?

Hello, I'm trying to use devicectl to observe Darwin Notifications on my iPhone. Instructions: OVERVIEW: Observe a Darwin notification on a device. Note that this command will wait for 300 seconds by default before exiting. You can override this by providing a different --timeout value. USAGE: devicectl device notification observe --device <uuid|ecid|udid|name> --name <name> ... [--verbose] [--quiet] [--timeout <seconds>] [--json-output <path>] [--log-output <path>] DEVICE OPTIONS: -d, --device <uuid|ecid|udid|name> The identifier, ECID, UDID, or name of the device. COMMAND OPTIONS: --name <name> The name of the Darwin notification. This can be passed multiple times to observe multiple Darwin notifications. OUTPUT OPTIONS: -v, --verbose If given, provide more logging output than normal. -q, --quiet If given, output will include only errors. -t, --timeout <seconds> The overall command timeout in seconds. If this limit is exceeded the command is abandoned as a failure. -j, --json-output <path> An optional path to write a JSON file with command results. Note: JSON output to a user-provided file on disk is the ONLY supported interface for scripts/programs to consume command output. -l, --log-output <path> An optional path to write all logging otherwise passed to stdout/stderr. OPTIONS: --version Show the version. -h, --help Show help information. Executed command: xcrun devicectl device notification observe --device XXX --name com.example.Notification Result: Darwin notification observation started. 300.0 seconds remaining: On iOS, I'm posting a Darwin notification using: CFNotificationCenterPostNotification(center, CFNotificationName("com.example.Notification" as CFString), nil, nil, true) My CFNotificationCenterAddObserver on iOS does receive this notification. But the devicectl does not. Also no results when I remove the observer on iOS. How can I send a notification in such a way that it is picked up by the devicectl observer?

Hello, I'm currently testing my project on multiple iPads, and Xcode is showing the following error on my fourth device: Your development team has reached the maximum number of registered iPad devices. I was wondering whether registering for the Apple Developer Program membership would allow me to register more devices. I’d appreciate your support!

Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

Greetings! I have an app that builds ad runs just fine in XCode 11 on Catalina on an old Intel MBP. I've recently purchased an M3 Max machine and want to bring this app forward. Just going from XCode 11 to XCode 12 on the old machine, not even trying yet to up to XCode 14 or 15 on the new machine, I get two build errors that I have no idea how to resolve, both in bnns.h. I have not deliberately included this framework, and text search in my project and dependencies finds no incidence of "bnns" at all. These occur in the function prototypes for BNNSApplyMultiheadAttention and BNNSApplyMultiheadAttentionBackward. These prototypes look okay to me, and again I didn't deliberately invoke them in the first place. Does anybody have any idea how I can get past this roadblock? p.s. this is what the first prototype looks like; no unbalanced parens here (spacing edited for readability): int BNNSApplyMultiheadAttention(BNNSFilter F, size_t batch_size, void const* query, size_t query_stride, void const* key, size_t key_stride, BNNSNDArrayDescriptor const* _Nullable key_mask, size_t key_mask_stride, void const* value, size_t value_stride, void *output, size_t output_stride, BNNSNDArrayDescriptor const* _Nullable add_to_attention, size_t * _Nullable backprop_cache_size, void * _Nullable backprop_cache, size_t * _Nullable workspace_size, void * _Nullable workspace)

Hi, While I understand that some enrollment reviews may take time, it has now been nearly a month since we submitted our company enrollment on April 11, and unfortunately, we still have no concrete updates or next steps. As a small business, this extended delay is significantly affecting our operations. We are unable to proceed with our product launch, engage with partners, or move forward with development work. Each passing day adds to the financial and operational pressure we’re facing. To be completely transparent, we honestly don’t believe there is a large set of documents or verifications that would justify such a long review. Our company’s D-U-N-S information has been provided and contains clear, publicly verifiable details about our registration and address. Beyond that, there is no additional documentation that should require extended evaluation. From our research, we’ve learned that some enrollments may get stuck in the review pipeline indefinitely unless manually escalated — and some companies only managed to resolve the issue after getting in touch with senior contacts or executives. We kindly ask — and sincerely hope — that instead of a standard response confirming the enrollment is “under review,” we can receive a more concrete update: what stage it is truly at, whether any verification is pending, and whether manual intervention is required. Case ID: 102578249178

Can someone tell me the minimum macOS deployment target on Xcode 16.4 The information is missing here where it is normally listed: https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ And I do not want to install yet the deployment target has changed. Thanks

We have started facing an issue after updating Xcode from version 15.2 to 16, we have a voip application with webview and call kit, and we have the Background Modes capabilities: Voip, Audio, Background fetch, and Background processing. We had no problem on Xcode 15, but ever since updating Xcode 16 and sdk 18, when app goes into the background during an active call, the app is suspended and no events are triggered UNTIL the app is resumed to the foreground.
