I'm experiencing an issue with a custom font not loading properly in Xcode 16.3. The font files are included in the bundle, listed in Info.plist, and verified for correct names using UIFont.familyNames, but they still don't appear at runtime. Has anyone else run into this with Xcode 16.3? Could this be related to recent changes in asset packaging or font catalogs?

I have a ContentView in my app which includes the line of code FileUploadProgressAttributes. this struct is defined in a file included in the target FileUploadProgressExtension. and it is an ActivityAttributes. in ContentView I imported FileUploadProgressExtension, and the xcode is able to find the FileUploadProgressAttributes during prebuild. but during build, it gives me Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "FileUploadProgressExtension.FileUploadProgressAttributes.init(filename: Swift.String) -> FileUploadProgressExtension.FileUploadProgressAttributes the workaround i found is to add the file with the FileUploadProgressAttributes to my app's target, but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. When Xcode created the extension for me, it added the extension target as a target dependency of my app. so obviously if i added this file to my app target it makes the extension target pointless. First time working with widgets so I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

HiSuppose i made a macOS App and want to connect to Oracle or mySQL Database I heard best way is using JSON which i dontknow anything about it, where can I find good reading about it thats specifically related to macOS or iOS Apps ?--Kindest Regards

When I try to post a LocationAnnotations of a subclass respect to the one defining variable sceneLocationView, by way of: sceneLocationView.addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: bannerAnnotationLocation) When I enter in: public func addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: LocationNode) { if locationNode.location == nil || locationNode.locationConfirmed == false { return } updatePositionAndScaleOfLocationNode(locationNode: locationNode, initialSetup: true, animated: true) locationNodes.append(locationNode) print(sceneNode?.description ?? "nil") self.sceneNode?.addChildNode(locationNode) } I find sceneNode to nil, like if the effect of the renderer is lost when subclassing. I also tried to create a new variable in the subclass also assigning SceneLocationView(), but sceneNode remains nil. What to do to force it to assume a value?

I'm working on dext project (c++), Base SDK and Supported Platforms are set to DriverKit. #include causes errors: error "The iostreams library is not supported since libc++ has been configured without support for localization." error "<locale.h> is not supported since libc++ has been configured without support for localization." Also it's not possible to define custom log object: undeclared identifier 'os_log_create'. <os/log.h> included and os_log function is compiled correct. macOS as additional SDK did not help. Thanks a lot for any hint.

I've recently upgraded to Sequoia and Xcode 16.3 (now 16.4RC) and a significant change I've noticed vs 16.2 is that the height of UINavigationBar components in storyboards and XIBs is incorrect. Xcode 16.2: Xcode 16.4: This only affects simulated metrics in storyboard / XIB files. I have been unable to find any discussion of this issue anywhere online. Is this actually an Xcode bug that has gone unnoticed / unfixed or is there some underlying intentional change here that I'm unaware of?

Hi all, I’m running into a persistent linker error when building my Unity 6 project (IL2CPP, iOS target) that calls a Swift method via an Objective-C++ wrapper. Despite following all known steps, I keep getting: Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "_placeGeoAnchor", referenced from: _GeoAnchorTrigger_placeGeoAnchor in libGameAssembly.a ... ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 I’m trying to place a persistent AR anchor at real-world GPS coordinates (so that the same asset can appear at the same location for a returning user). Since I’m targeting iOS, I can’t use Google’s geospatial anchors (but I sooo wish I could--please apple I beg of you stop being so selfish lol). I've already done these things: Swift file is added to Unity-iPhone target. .mm and .h files are in Unity-iPhone target under Compile Sources. Bridging header is set to Unity-iPhone-Bridging-Header.h. Generated header name is correct (GeoTest-Swift.h). Build Active Architecture Only set to No. Function has attribute((visibility("default"))). Unity project uses IL2CPP scripting backend. Yet I'm still getting the same linker error — it appears Unity (via IL2CPP) references the function, but Xcode doesn't link it. It’s something small that’s being missed with how IL2CPP links native symbols? Or maybe I need to explicitly include something in Link Binary With Libraries? I’ve verified symbol visibility and targets repeatedly. I’ve built AR features in Unity before (for Quest), but this is my first time trying to bridge C# → Objective-C++ → Swift in this way for a geolocation-based AR anchor for an iphone. I'm going crazy, I’ve been stuck on this for 12+ hours now, so any insight or nudge would be deeply appreciated. SPECS: Macbook Pro M4 Pro--Sequoia 15.4 Unity 6000.0.45f1 IPhone 11 iOS 18.4 Xcode 15

Is SFSymbol Customization officially valid as a method for using SVG in embedded widgets (lock-screen & watchOS)? I use this in UnitedPizzaHelper but wonder whether this is the prime cause why all widgets of this app gets missing on iOS devices? This issue only happened on at least 2 device in the recent 12 months (they are all on iOS 18, and one of them is running iOS 18.5... Rebooting device won't work.), and we currently have no clue how to troubleshoot this. Update: The guy running iOS 18.5 told me that the widgets are now discoverable after waiting for minutes. Seems that this is a random issue.

I'm following the steps laid out in Creating a static framework which states: When a client links and embeds the framework, Xcode 15 or later omits the main binary from the embedded framework bundle because it’s already statically linked into the client. Specifically, I'm adding a new framework target to my project, and then changing the Mach-O type in its build settings to Static Library. What I'm observing when I build (debug or release) is that that the resulting framework folder inside of the app bundle still contains a binary. Furthermore, upon inspecting strings and symbols in both the main app executable and this library binary, it appears that my strings and symbols do end up in the main executable and not in the library binary. Does this mean that this binary is just a stub left behind? Is this intended? Can I safely delete this binary with a build phase script?

I have an older Macbook, and it only supports Xcode 15.2, and I want to be able to work with my iPhone SE 3rd gen, which currently has the iOS 26 beta on it. Is there a place I can find the download for that, and can I even run it on that version of Xcode? If not, can I download a newer version of Xcode on MacOS Ventura?

Running the command (pod install) fails after adding our profile, I'm new to Xcode and I'm unclear how adding the profile has affected the build.

Hello, I watched WWDC 25 and saw that GPT will be integrated into Xcode. This raised a question for me. As far as I know, GPT models learn from user interactions. However, the GPT terms of use mention that business accounts are excluded from training. Does this also apply to the GPT integrated into Xcode 26? I couldn’t find any information about this in the Xcode 26 beta release notes or the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. If anyone knows where this is documented, I’d really appreciate it if you could share it. Also, if any Apple staff is reading this, I’d be grateful if you could clarify whether the same non-training policy applies within Xcode. Thank you!

Xcode 16.2 archive fails to compile XIB Xcode Archive command fails most of the time while compiling an XIB which was created in older Xcode. XIB was updated in Xcode 16.2 version also which did not fix this issue. Archive from Xcode app works but Xcode build command fails and no reason shown by the command. ** ARCHIVE FAILED ** The following build commands failed: CompileXIB /Users…/Resources/Nibs/<XIB_NAME>.xib

I’ve developed an Apple Watch extension for an existing iOS app. When I run the app on the watch via Xcode using the simulator, everything works fine. However, when I try to install it on my iPhone, the Watch app doesn’t show it in the "Available Apps" list, so I can't install it on the watch. The Apple Watch is connected to my iPhone, and I can see other apps available for installation without any issues. I also created a brand new project with watchOS support to troubleshoot, but the same problem occurred. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Is anybody able to save the autocreated testplan successfully with Xcode 16.3? I get a crash no matter what (different filenames, locations, machines, ...). Now created a template project: same thing. Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) on macOS 15.5 (24F74) Known issue, or am I holding it wrong?

Hi all, I’m running into a persistent build issue with my Swift project ORSOFINAL after migrating from Xcode stable to Xcode-beta.app 26 (June 2025 version). ⸻ 💥 Errors displayed: 1. C99 was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled 2. module file .../ModuleCache.noindex/SwiftShims-AXUM98L131W4...pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation 3. missing required module 'SwiftShims' ⸻ 🛠 What I’ve already tried: • xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer • Deleted ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, Archives, and Products • Ran sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch • Clean Build Folder in Xcode-beta • Verified Command Line Tools setting points to Xcode-beta ⸻ ❓Looking for guidance on: • Whether this is a known bug in Xcode-beta • If SwiftShims/PCM conflicts are expected between versions • Best practices to safely migrate from Xcode stable to beta for Swift-based projects Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Mathéo

Imported Type Identifiers automatically adds into xcstrings, hot to turn it off?

For Xcode 15 and Xcode 16, whenever I try to use the Refactor->Rename command I get a spinning busy cursor for a short while then I get an alert that says: Rename Failed Refactoring engine failure. This happens on several projects and I've tried removing the derived data folder, but am at a loss to find additional troubleshooting steps. Are there other files I might remove or reset to get my "Refactoring Engine" back into shape?

I have an iOS app, and I am trying to add a companion WatchOS app. My iOS app depends on 2 libraries: GoogleMobileAds FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport When I add a new target for WatchOS, the preview build starts to fail. I am not adding any libraries to WatchOS. The Google Ads and Firebase Analytics libs are only under the iOS target. I am unable to run the preview, I get an error when trying to build the watch scheme. The preview does not work. The build just crashes. I've included the error log below. But, here are the steps I've tried so far: Delete folders inside Derived Data Run a clean build (Cmd + Option + Shift + K) Delete scheme and create a new one Reset Package Cache Restart Xcode Restart Macbook But, it just does not work. I do not understand why the watchOS target is erroring for "GoogleUserMessagingPlatform" and "GoogleMobileAdsTarget" when those packages are not linked/used for the watchOS.

Hello, I'm working on a Unity game which uses Apple Arcade Cloudkit Unity plugin. Cloud save works on all platforms except visionOS. I tried to debug using visionOS 2.4 Simulator. When the game starts XCode display the following error: DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'CloudKitWrapper'. Tried the load the following dynamic libraries: Unable to load dynamic library '/CloudKitWrapper' because of 'Failed to open the requested dynamic library (0x06000000) dlerror() = dlopen(/CloudKitWrapper, 0x0005): tried: '/Users/seb/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Unity-VisionOS-akwybgjotadlwrghmmfkhbhpuduf/Build/Products/Debug-xrsimulator/CloudKitWrapper' (no such file), '/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/xrOS_22O237/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/xrOS 2.4.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/system/introspection/CloudKitWrapper' (no such file), '/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/xrOS_22O237/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/xrOS 2.4.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/CloudKitWrapper' (no such file), '/CloudKitWrapper' (no such file) at Apple.CloudKit.CKContainer.CKContainer_Default () [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0 at Apple.CloudKit.CKContainer.Default () [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0 I opened up the "Debug-xrsimulator" and indeed there is no CloudKitWrapper.

I guess the plugin is in the right location, but the code tries to load it from the wrong path.
