Some Macs recently received a macOS system update which disabled the simulator runtimes used by Xcode 15, including the simulators for iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. If your Mac received this update, you will receive the following error message and will be unable to use the simulator: The com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-2 simulator runtime is not available. Domain: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimError Code: 401 Failure Reason: runtime profile not found using "System" match policy Recovery Suggestion: Download the com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-2 simulator runtime from the Xcode To resume using the simulator, please reboot your Mac. After rebooting, check Xcode Preferences → Platforms to ensure that the simulator runtime you would like to use is still installed. If it is missing, use the Get button to download it again. The Xcode 15.3 Release Notes are also updated with this information.

Hello, I have Xcode Cloud set up on a project with multiple targets. One target is a Framework that hosts a Swift Package that's used to host modules. I recently added a large number of files (at least 20,000) to some test targets and I can no longer access Xcode Cloud from the Cloud Reports section. Xcode prepares to analyze the project and then fails with Could not load Xcode Cloud Data Removing the files from the package results in the project being analyzed successfully. So it appears to be some sort of a timeout issue. Thank you

I have a brand new iPhone 15 with iOS 17, paired with a watch on WatchOS10. In devices and simulators, the iPhone 15 and Watch 10 device show up as disconnected (with the globe icon I think is what it is?) and if I click on either of them, that icon changes to a spinner, and the main window says "Xcode will continue when the operation completes", but it NEVER completes. This makes the device not usable for development. In addition, I have updated my iPad to iOS17, and it doesn't even show up at all in the devices and simulator list, even though it is enabled for developer mode. I have toggled developer mode off and on (thus rebooting). I have quit and restarted Xcode. I have even rebooted the Mac. Nothing helps. This is incredibly frustrating.

When signing in to GitHub.com in Xcode, it shows what scopes must be set when creating a personal access token. However, when signing into GitLab.com, it doesn't show what scopes should be selected.

Currently, when creating a new Git remote in Xcode, the visibility for the new repository is set to public by default. It would be safer if it were set to private by default. FB22673051 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/797

I switch between Project / Tests / Breakpoints using top left pane 100s times a day. I also switch to search using CMD-Shift-F. In Xcode 26.4 I have to tap the <> to open menu. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior. Does any of the UX guys who worked on that feature use Xcode on daily basis? This is so bad :(

I am developing an iOS app using Capacitor and Xcode. The app installs on my device but fails to launch with the error: “Quarantined due to high logging volume.” I have already: Configured signing correctly Enabled Developer Mode Disabled excessive logging in the app code Cleaned build and re-synced Capacitor The app still fails to run on a physical device (My iPhone 17Pro Max). Please advise on how to resolve this issue or whether this is related to a system-level logging limit or WebView restriction. Please suggest a reliable solution to the issue.

I’m seeing a regression in Xcode 26.4 where Interface Builder will not allow connecting IBOutlets or IBActions. Symptoms: The usual gutter circle/dot does not appear next to IBOutlet / IBAction in the code editor Because of this, I cannot: drag from storyboard → code drag from code → storyboard The class is valid and already connected to the storyboard (existing outlets work) Assistant Editor opens the correct view controller file Important: The exact same project, unchanged, works perfectly in Xcode 26.3. I can create and connect outlets/actions normally there. ⸻ Environment Xcode: 26.4 macOS: 26.4 Mac Mini M4 Pro 64G Ram Project: Objective-C UIKit app using Storyboards This is a long-running, ObjC, project (not newly created) ⸻ What I’ve already tried To rule out the usual suspects: Verified View Controller Custom Class is correctly set in Identity Inspector Verified files are in the correct Target Membership Verified outlets are declared correctly in the .h file: @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *exampleLabel; Opened correct file manually (not relying on Automatic Assistant) Tried both: storyboard → code drag code → storyboard drag Tried using Connections Inspector Clean Build Folder Deleted entire DerivedData Restarted Xcode Updated macOS to 26.4 Ran: sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch Confirmed required platform components installed Reopened project fresh ⸻ Observations In Xcode 26.4 the outlet “connection circles” are completely missing In Xcode 26.3 they appear immediately for the same code Existing connections still function at runtime — this is purely an Interface Builder issue ⸻ Question The gutter circles appearance has always been flaky in Xcode over the 13+ years I've been using it but now with 26.4 they have completely disappeared. Has anyone else seen this in Xcode 26.4, or found a workaround? At this point it looks like a regression in Interface Builder, but I haven’t found any mention of it yet.

I cannot distribute an app on xcode becouse he cannot find a certificate valid for my personal or business team. Need to address XCODE to access to my business account and not personal

I am testing auto renewing subscriptions for a macOS program in Xcode with a local Storekit file. I have renewals set to occur every minute for testing. I quit the app, and watch renewals appear in the Debug transaction manager window. Each is marked unfinished. When I start the app, I call a function that is supposed to get unfinished transactions and finish them. In one of those "I swore it worked the other day", I am now finding it isn't working. The unfinished transaction remain marked as unfinished. func getUnfinished() async { for await verificationResult in Transaction.unfinished { guard case .verified(let transaction) = verificationResult else { continue } await transaction.finish() } } If I add an AppStore.sync() right before looping on Transaction.unfinished, it works (i.e., cleans up unfinished transactions), but I get an alert I have to click through. do { try await AppStore.sync() } catch { print("DEBUG UNFINISHED: AppStore.sync() failed: \(error)") } Any idea why Transaction.unfinished isn't fetching unfinished transactions for me (without the AppStore.sync)?

Description Xcode 26.4.1 crashes immediately on launch with a code signature error. The issue exists on macOS 26.4.1 and persists after upgrading to macOS 26.5 (25F5058e) and attempting 26.6 beta. Crash Details: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL (Code Signature Invalid)) Termination Reason: Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 2, Invalid Page Key symbols: dyld3::MachOFile::trieWalk, dyld4::JustInTimeLoader::applyFixups, dyld4::Loader::forEachBindTarget All Steps Tried (All Failed): Fresh reinstall from Mac App Store and .xip from Developer website Multiple sudo xattr -cr + sudo codesign --force --deep --strict --options=runtime --sign - Deleted all Xcode caches, DerivedData, and preferences Tested in a brand new user account (same crash) Downgraded Xcode to older versions macOS remains on 26.4.1 (issue existed here) and upgraded to 26.5 / attempted 26.6 beta — still same crash Refreshed Apple Worldwide Developer Relations certificates Multiple restarts The crash report is identical every time. System Information Model: MacBook Pro (M1 Pro, MacBookPro18,1) macOS: 26.5 (25F5058e) — issue started after upgrade from 26.4.1 Xcode: 26.4.1 (24909.0.3) SIP: Enabled Developer Mode: Enabled Additional Notes Other applications launch normally. This appears to be a system-level compatibility issue introduced in macOS 26.5's stricter code signing validation on mapped files / chained fixups. Request Is there a known workaround? Is Apple preparing a fix in a future macOS 26.5 patch or Xcode update? What additional information would help? Thank you!

HI, I have a Swift UI app in the mac appstore in the upcoming release we have made lots of changes and it is working fine in debug mode but in production with testflight or direct distribution we are getting the following crash while working in the app. this is happening in the rendering phase.

Hi everyone, I'm unable to use the po or v commands in the LLDB debugger in a fresh new iOS project (but works in my existing projects). I'm using Xcode 26.2 (17C52). I tried solving the issue with various AI tools for hours but had no success. The community is truly irreplaceable.

It would be helpful if the required token scopes were pre-filled in the URL when clicking the "Create a Token on GitHub" button when signing into a GitHub account in Xcode. FB22632532 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/796

Xcore 26.2 run on newly installed macOS 15.7.3 (24G419) crashes when attempting to build assets backtrace

Hello everyone, my app A now supports iOS Widget C under the same Xcode project. Now I have another app B under this project, and I hope it can also support this Widget C. What should be done? How should the app group be configured? I have found some solutions: for example, add this key under the info.plist corresponding to app B: NSExtension NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.widgetkit-extension NSExtensionPrincipalClass $(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).WidgetEntryView However, when I configured it and started running, not only could I not see the support Widget C, but the screen also went black. Thank you all.

Hello everyone. I need help! I'm using Xcode solely to create an archive of a mobile application created with WinDev Mobile. When everything is working correctly, I simply retrieve the application's generated version from WinDev Mobile, launch the archive creation process, and add a new version to TestFlight! Then I can test the application on the iPhone. The current problem is that the application crashes, without any error message, in a specific use case. Hoping to get some help with this crash, I had the idea to test the application using Xcode. Once launched, a crash occurs if I follow the same process. There's an error message, which I'll paste below. What does this error mean? How can I relate it to my WinDev Mobile code? Have a good day.

I am running Tahoe 26.4.1 on a MacBook Air, M4, 2025. In System Settings, I have an item heading of Software Update Available. Clicking on that brings up "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4". The only available choices are to Update Now or Cancel. In the past, I was developing a game, but have quit working on that, and deleted Xcode and Command Line Tools. Wanting the "Command Line Tools ..." line to disappear from System Settings, I called Apple Support, and at their request have followed the steps in "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-the-command-line-tools" to delete this entry in System Settings, namely the 2 sudo's in that article under the section "Uninstall the command line tools". This did not cause the "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4" line in System Settings to disappear (as I was told by Apple support that it would, because I would be deleting the receipt). In Terminal, I did indeed receive a response of "No receipt for 'com.apple.dt.commandlinetools' found at '/'.". I have called developer support, but the individual I spoke with had no useful guidance on how to finish this issue, except to post to the Forum. I would appreciate any guidance on how to delete the "Command Line Tools ..." entry from System Settings.

My app start up has became horrid. It takes 1 minute to open SQLlite database for my rust core. Impossible to work... I have Address Sanitizer, Thread Perf Checker and Thread Sanitizer disabled...
