❌ Could not find email_ai.py in the app bundle. Available files: []
The error above is what I’m encountering.
I’ve placed the referenced file both in the project directory and inside the app. However, every time I remove and reinsert the file into the folder within the app, it prompts me to designate the targets—I select all, but this doesn’t resolve the issue.
I’m unsure how to properly reference the file so that it is recognised and included in the bundle. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
this is my build phase:
#!/bin/sh
set -x # Prints each command before running it (for debugging)
pwd # Shows the current working directory
echo "$SRCROOT" # Shows what Xcode thinks is the project root
ls -l "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts" # Lists files in the script folder
export PYTHONPATH="/Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin"
/Users/caesar/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/bin/python3 "$SRCROOT/EmailAssistant/EmailAssistant/PythonScripts/email_ai.py"
echo "Script completed."

Considering below dummy codes:
@MainActor var globalNumber = 0
@MainActor
func increase(_ number: inout Int) async {
// some async code excluded
number += 1
}
class Dummy: @unchecked Sendable {
@MainActor var number: Int {
get { globalNumber }
set { globalNumber = newValue }
}
@MainActor
func change() async {
await increase(&number) //Actor-isolated property 'number' cannot be passed 'inout' to 'async' function call
}
}
I'm not really trying to make an increasing function like that, this is just an example to make everything happen. As for why number is a computed property, this is to trigger the actor-isolated condition (otherwise, if the property is stored and is a value type, this condition will not be triggered).
Under these conditions, in function change(), I got the error: Actor-isolated property 'number' cannot be passed 'inout' to 'async' function call.
My question is: Why Actor-isolated property cannot be passed 'inout' to 'async' function call? What is the purpose of this design? If this were allowed, what problems might it cause?
I ran into a problem, I have a recursive function in which Data type objects are temporarily created, because of this, the memory expands until the entire recursion ends. It would just be fixed using autoreleasepool, but it can't be used with async await, and I really don't want to rewrite the code for callbacks. Is there any option to use autoreleasepool with async await functions? (I Googled one option, that the Task already contains its own autoreleasepool, and if you do something like that, it should work, but it doesn't, the memory is still growing)
func autoreleasepool<Result>(_ perform: @escaping () async throws -> Result) async throws -> Result {
try await Task {
try await perform()
}.value
}
Issue:
During app execution, the intended method is not being called; instead, the method preceding (written above the intended method) is being executed.
For Example:
//In my case the ViewController class is at 3rd level of inheritance.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
func methodA() {
print("methodA")
}
func methodB() {
print("methodB")
}
}
let vc = ViewController()
vc.methodB()
Output: //"methodA"
Expected: //"methodB"
Observations:
Recent code changes have revealed that enabling the below Swift-6 flag leads to this linking issue. When this flag is commented out, the problem disappears.
.enableUpcomingFeature("InternalImportsByDefault")
Additionally, moving the intended method into an extension of the same class resolves the issue when the flag is enabled.
Conclusion:
To resolve the issue:
Comment out the Swift-6 flag.
Alternatively, move the method into an extension of the same class, which addresses the issue for this specific case.
I had similar issue in other class where it crashes with message "method not found", but actually the method is there. When moving the method into an extension of same class resolve this issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanking you..
I can't find a viable path to call StoreKit from C++ right now and would love some ideas.
I'm implementing the code exactly as shown at 4:09 in
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10172/
However when I add any StoreKit functionality in I immediately get
"Actor isolated structure cannot be exposed in C++"
This makes me think I can't create a StoreKit view and call it from C++? Am I missing a better way? I don't think I can have another structure that holds the storeChooser in it because it will have the same problem (I assume, although I will check). Part of the issue seems to be that my app is C++ so there is no main function called in the swift for me to open this view with either, I was going to use the present function Zoe described (as below).
I've tried a lot of alternative approaches but it seems to be blocking async functions from showing in C++ as well. So I'm not sure how to access the basic product(for:) and purchase(product) functions.
import Foundation
import StoreKit
import SwiftUI
public struct storeChooser: View {
public var productIDs: [String]
public var fetchError: String
//@State //Note this is from the UI
@State public var products: [Product] = []
// @State private var isPresented = true
// weak private var host: UIViewController? = nil
public init() {
productIDs = ["20_super_crystals_v1"]
products = []
self.fetchError = "untried"
}
public var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 20) {
Text( "Products")
ForEach(self.products) { product in
Button {
//dont do anything yet
} label: {
Text("\(product.displayPrice) - \(product.displayName)")
}
}
}.task {
do {
try await self.loadProducts()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
public func queryProducts() {
Task {
do {
try await self.loadProducts()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
public func getProduct1Name() -> String {
if self.products.count > 0 {
return self.products[0].displayName
} else {
return "empty"
}
}
private func loadProducts() async throws {
self.products = try await Product.products(for: self.productIDs)
}
/* public mutating func present(_ viewController: UIViewController) {
isPresented = true;
let host = UIHostingController(rootView: self)
host.rootView.host = host
viewController.present(host, animated: true)
} */
}

I'm encountering an issue where certain images are not displaying on some iOS devices, while the same code works perfectly on others. There’s no error or crash — just some images fail to load or display. I've confirmed the image URLs and formats are correct.
Has anyone faced a similar issue or could suggest what might be causing this inconsistent behavior?
Thanks in advance!

func textField(
_ textField: UITextField,
shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange,
replacementString string: String
) -> Bool {
if
let delegate = delegate,
let shouldChangeCharactersIn = delegate.textField {
return shouldChangeCharactersIn(textField, range, string)
}
return true
}
This is from an extension
extension TextInput: UITextFieldDelegate, ObservableTextFieldDelegateProtocol {
The delegate is already a UITextFieldDelegate, but when you click on the error, it returns 7 instances of:
"Found this candidate in module 'UIKit' (UIKit.UITextFieldDelegate.textField)"
This doesn't give an error in Xcode 16. Is this an Xcode 26 bug?
My framework has private Objective-C API that is only used within the framework. It should not be exposed in the public interface (so it shouldn't be imported in the umbrella header).
To expose this API to Swift that's within the framework only the documentation seems to indicate that this needs to be imported in the umbrella header?
Import Code Within a Framework Target
To use the Objective-C declarations in files in the same framework target as your Swift code, configure an umbrella header as follows:
1.Under Build Settings, in Packaging, make sure the Defines Module setting for the framework target is set to Yes.
2.In the umbrella header, import every Objective-C header you want to expose to Swift.
Swift sees every header you expose publicly in your umbrella header. The contents of the Objective-C files in that framework are automatically available from any Swift file within that framework target, with no import statements. Use classes and other declarations from your Objective-C code with the same Swift syntax you use for system classes.
I would imagine that there must be a way to do this?
I am an SDK provider working with Swift Package Manager (SPM) to deliver libraries for iOS developers. My SDK currently uses SPM targets to modularize functionality. However, SPM enforces strict resource bundling, which prevents me from efficiently offering multiple targets—each with a different set of localization files—in a single package.
Current Limitation:
When multiple SPM targets share the same source and resource directory but require distinct sets of .lproj localization folders (for app size or client requirements), SPM raises “overlapping sources” errors. The only workaround is to manually split resource directories or have clients prune localizations post-build, which is inefficient and error-prone.
Feature Request:
Please consider adding native support in Swift Package Manager for:
Defining multiple targets within a single package that can process overlapping source/resource directories,
Each target specifying a distinct subset of localization resource files via the exclude or a new designated parameter,
Enabling efficient modular delivery of SDKs to clients needing different localization payloads, without redundant resource duplication or error-prone manual pruning.
Support for this feature would greatly ease SDK distribution, lower app sizes, and improve package maintainability for iOS and all Swift platforms.

var testTwo: Double = 0
testDouble = 80
testTwo = 200
var testThree: Int = 0
testThree = Int(testTwo/testDouble)
var testDate: Date = .now
var dateComponent = DateComponents()
dateComponent.day = testThree
var newDate: Date = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: dateComponentwith a thread error , to: testDate)!
This code works in a playground. However, when I try to use it in Xcode for my app it fails with the following error:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Double value cannot be converted to Int because it is either infinite or NaN
I printed the value being converted to Int and it was not NAN or infinite.
Hello!
Can you tell me why UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum stopped working on Mac Catalyst?
This method used to save photos to the library. Now I get an error when trying to save with the same code that previously worked.
error NSError domain: "ALAssetsLibraryErrorDomain" - code: -1 0x0000000cb00b4810
So I’m writing a program, as a developer would - ‘with Xcode.’
Code produced an error.
The key values were swapped. The parameters suggested were ‘optional parameters variables.’
“var name: TYPE? = (default)”
var name0: TYPE
=============================
name0 = “super cool”
‘Name is not yet declared at this point
provided with
x - incorrect argument replace
ExampleStruct(name:”supercool”)
should be
x - incorrect argument replace
ExampleStruct(name0:”supercool”)
=============================
In swift, there is a procedural prioritization within the constructor calling process.
Application calls constructor.
Constructor provides constructor signature. Signature requires parameters & throws an error if the params are not in appropriate order. - “got it compiler; thank you, very much”
Typically, when this occurs, defaults will be suggested. Often the variable type. Ie String, Bool.
such as:
StructName(param1:Int64, param2:Bool)
(Recently, I have seen a decline in @Apple’s performance in many vectors.)
As stated before, the key value pairs were out of sequence. The optionals were suggested instead of the required parameters.
This leads me to believe that there is an order of operations in the calling procedure that is being mismanaged.
I.e. regular expression, matching with optional. This confuses these with [forced, required] parameters, and the mismanagement of ‘key: value’ pairs.
this is a superficial prognosis and would like to know if anyone has any insight as to why this may occur.
Could it be a configuration setting? Is it possibly the network I connected to bumped into something. Etc..
I appreciate any and all feedback.
Please take into consideration the Apple developer forum, guidelines before posting comments.

Hello,
After upgrading to macOS 26.2, I’ve noticed a significant performance regression when calling evaluateJavaScript in an iOS App running on Mac (WKWebView, Swift project).
Observed behavior
On macOS 26.2, the callback of evaluateJavaScript takes around 3 seconds to return.
This happens not only for:
evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent")
but also for simple or even empty scripts, for example:
evaluateJavaScript("")
On previous macOS versions, the same calls typically returned in ~200 ms.
Additional testing
I created a new, empty Objective-C project with a WKWebView and tested the same evaluateJavaScript calls.
In the Objective-C project, the callback still returns in ~200 ms, even on macOS 26.2.
Question
Is this a known issue or regression related to:
iOS Apps on Mac,
Swift + WKWebView, or
behavioral changes in evaluateJavaScript on macOS 26.2?
Any information about known issues, internal changes, or recommended workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Test Code Swift
class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var tmpWebView: WKWebView?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
setupUserAgent()
}
func setupUserAgent() {
let t1 = CACurrentMediaTime()
tmpWebView = WKWebView(frame: .zero)
tmpWebView?.isInspectable = true
tmpWebView?.evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent") { [weak self] result, error in
let t2 = CACurrentMediaTime()
print("[getUserAgent] \(t2 - t1)s")
self?.tmpWebView = nil
}
}
}
Test Code Objective-C
- (void)scene:(UIScene *)scene willConnectToSession:(UISceneSession *)session options:(UISceneConnectionOptions *)connectionOptions {
NSTimeInterval startTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970];
WKWebView *webView = [[WKWebView alloc] init];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[webView evaluateJavaScript:@"navigator.userAgent" completionHandler:^(id result, NSError *error) {
NSTimeInterval endTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970];
NSLog(@"[getUserAgent]: %.2f s", (endTime - startTime));
}];
});
}
