Side-by-side comparison in source code changes view
I am trying to move over from AppCode/Intellij to Xcode. I am however having a hard time with the version control tools. I know that you can choose side-by-side when you activate "code review" and select single files. However, if you go into changes and view the list of files that have changed, i can only get inline-view to work. This is really frustrating to me, is there any way to get side-by-side also when you select a file from the changes list? Cheers

Feedback on several issues with ios26beta6
First of all, I found that after upgrading to this version, my phone gets extremely hot in the background (I upgraded to this version yesterday, and I was using iOS 18.6 before yesterday). It feels that the camera app has been upgraded inexplicably, the operation is particularly difficult to use, and it does not conform to logic at all. I don't know why it has been changed like this. Can you give users a choice and let them choose whether to use this new version of liquid glass or the classic one?😉 I don't know why the feedback assistant app can't be used, and I will show it in the video below.

iOS 26 Beta 6 in Simulator
Is iOS 26 Beta 6 available in the iOS Simulator? I saw that the latest betas launched earlier this week. I updated my dev machine to macOS 26 Beta 6, however this release had no corresponding Xcode 26 Beta 6. So I am still running Xcode Beta 5 and when I go into Settings -> Components within Xcode there is no option to install iOS 26 Beta 6. It's still running Beta 5 for macOS and iOS. Is that correct? My current assumption is that iOS Beta 6 is for physical devices only?

How can I change my country on the developer account?
I enrolled years ago and abandoned my app project. I'm trying again now to port a web app I already created but I no longer live in the U.S. Like many countries in the global south, Costa Rica does not have physical addresses. My ID here does not have an address on it. We don't have postal services, not like in western countries. Our bank statements don't have addresses on them: because we don't have addresses. My utility bill is in my wife's name and so is my phone and internet. Yet I'm being asked to provide these details I cannot provide. I cannot pay for a developer subscription otherwise because my card is from a bank here, not the U.S. I also need my developer account to be FROM here so that any business org I create is also FROM here. What can I do? They're asking me for: A photocopy of your valid (not expired) government-issued identification showing the new address • A recent change-of-address document filed with your local postal service • A document from your local registration office showing the new address • A recent utility bill, bank statement, or a letter from a government agency that shows your name and new address

Background Assets - Manifest Error

Firebase dependencies on Xcode
Hi everybody! I am pretty new to app development. I started by creating an app and linking it to Firebase as DB. I had added them directly on Xcode (File>Add Package Dependencies>...). Then I needed one specific package that was not there, so I started using cocoapods (all from the terminal), but it didn't work. When I deleted the ones from cocoapods (I am not 100% sure I deleted everything I had to), I started using the packages in the first way, but now it doesn't even build with the packages I have. I checked many times and I actually have those packages, but it does not work at all. Any suggestions on how to solve it or who I could contact? Thanks.

iOS Simulator APNs Device Token is not received when running in a Mac VM
Starting Xcode 14, iOS Simulator is able to communicate with APNs in order to register for notification in the sandbox environment. I created a sample test for this. A dumb iOS application that registers for notifications. It has UITests to automatize the tap on the consent popup (it is not possible to ask for the permission via CLI sadly). Once the application registers, the AppDelegate method didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken is called and the device token is sent to a local server application (node.js). The test itself creates an iOS 18.6 Simulator with xcrun simctl, builds such app and run the tests through through CLI with xcodebuild. Running this on my personal Macbook Pro M1 2021 goes well every time, so I wanted to bring it on Github Actions (arm64 macOS machines), in order to test the works on a open source library I'm building (hapns). Contacting Github support led me to test this on a macOS image running inside a VM inside a Veertu Anka container on my personal Macbook Pro, due to an VM architectural limit suspicion. The results were the same: iOS simulator isn't able to receive the device token. Not even didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError is called (tested through some network probes-requests that communicate to the server which checkpoints the process reached). So, as asked, I've setup a repro-case to be run in the VM and I've collected VM diagnostics ready to be tested and attached. Does anyone know if there is some unspecified (or specified but buried in the documentation) limit for this? Thanks. Github discussion link for further details, repro-case and so on: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/12747

Why does it take 24 to 72 hours after registering a device on Apple Developer Account before it can be used for development and ad hoc distribution? Is there a way to update and process this information immediately?

Which field in the data returned by Weatherkit interface displays the user's weather description? The official only provides that ConditionCode is an enumerated weather type
I found that only ConditionCode in the current Weather is a field related to weather description, but it is just an enumeration of weather predictions. I want to present different weather descriptions to users in different languages.What should I display to the user based on?

Tab bar controller drag and drop order of items not working
Hi I'm using Xcode 16.4 on a Mac mini m4 so please let's not get in the weeds about latest this or that for software, etc... I'm trying to move one of the tab bar items in the controller, the home item, the the far left and I can grab it and drag it but it won't drop anywhere except where it exists. the other items won't move either. I've googled this and not finding anything stating you have to do a key combo, etc... which I've tried the command, option and control keys each with the dragging. Also the ability to actually select and item to drag it is extremely inconsistent, sometimes it grabs it and most of the time it doesn't. do I need to just delete the connectors and add them back in the proper order? is that really the solution here?

Problems compiling xcframeworks using Carthage with the latest Xcode beta
I use Carthage to build a set of dependencies. I generate .xcframework files with code for both macOS and iOS. This works through Xcode 26 beta 4. With Xcode 26 beta 5, the resulting .xcframework files seem to have code only for iOS, not macOS. Each framework has a ios-arm64 directory and a ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator directory, but no macos-arm64_x86_64 directory. This is affecting 3 of my 7 cross-platform dependencies that I compile with Carthage. What those 3 seem to have in common is that each has one target and scheme for the shared library – instead of one for iOS and another for macOS. I may have to create a second scheme and target in each of these dependencies, or move to SPM. But I am wondering if anyone has another suggestion. Thank you. John

I made the payment but they still haven't released the developer license
Good afternoon everyone. I made the purchase and payment (as shown in the screenshot) on August 6th. However, two business days have passed and they still haven't granted full access (including for publishing new apps). I've already sent two emails requesting support (IDs 102663263864 and 102665787348), but I haven't received a response yet. Nothing appears in my developer account. Has anyone experienced this? Do you have any tips?

Enrollment Blocked for Near 2 Months – (Case #102640946883 and Case #102649610325)
We’ve been trying to complete enrollment in the Apple Developer Program as a UK-registered company for over a month now, but we’re still blocked without a solution. We’ve opened multiple support cases, including: Case #102640946883 – Identity verification fails in the Developer App. A valid Spanish government-issued ID is rejected because it doesn’t match the Apple ID region (UK), even though the company and bank are UK-based. We were told this was escalated on 16 July, but we’ve received no update since. Case #102649610325 – Payment attempts fail when enrolling via the web portal. We’ve tried 4 different cards, 2 banks (Wise & Lloyds), and even a card previously used to enroll successfully. Banks confirm Apple is not even submitting a payment attempt. We've followed all instructions (Private Safari window, re-submitted enrollment, etc.), but nothing works. No resolution or clarification has been provided, and the situation is seriously impacting our operations and client timeline. We are requesting: An update on the escalated identity verification issue (Case #102640946883) Clarification on whether our entity is being blocked internally from enrolling Escalation to someone who can provide a real resolution We would appreciate any help or visibility from Apple Developer Relations or anyone with similar experience. Thank you.

Report Navigator Arrow Icon Missing in XCResult Files Since Xcode 16.4
After upgrading to Xcode 16.4, the navigation arrow icon in the Report Navigator is no longer appearing for failed test cases within XCResult bundles. This icon, which allows developers to directly navigate to the specific line of code that caused a test failure, is now missing. This significantly hinders the debugging process for test automation engineers. Details: Xcode Version: 16.4 (issue started after upgrade) Test Framework: XCTest Test Environment: iOS simulators Execution Method: The tests are executed on a Jenkins CI/CD server XCResult Analysis: The generated .xcresult bundle is downloaded from the Jenkins server and opened locally on a Mac also running Xcode 16.4. Observed Behavior: The navigation arrow icon is missing, and there is no direct way to jump to the failure line from the report. This issue appears to be a regression introduced in Xcode 16.4, as the navigation arrow was consistently present in previous versions. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Future configuration options and support for custom MCP servers in Xcode
I’m exploring the new AI-assisted development features in Xcode 26, particularly the integration with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. I have two related questions about future capabilities: 1. Configuration flexibility – Will future versions of Xcode provide more granular configuration options? For example, being able to adjust model parameters, set custom request headers? 2. Custom MCP servers – Will it be possible to connect Xcode to a custom MCP servers? It would be great to know if these capabilities are on the roadmap, and if so, what the expected level of customization might be. Thank you.
