After update to Xcode 16.3, any breakpoints stopped in simulator and device. The scheme is configured to Debug in Build Configurator.

I’ve been running into an annoying issue for a while now and wondering if anyone else can confirm or suggest a fix. When Xcode hits a breakpoint (i.e., the app is paused), I often need to copy some text from the source code using cmd+C — for example, to paste into the debugger and inspect a variable or object. However, most of the time, the copy operation fails and nothing ends up on the clipboard. I have to repeat the copy action multiple times before it works. This doesn’t happen 100% of the time, but it’s frequent — maybe around 7 out of 10 attempts fail. I’ve been noticing this behavior since around Xcode 15. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known workaround or fix?

My app has a Watch app companion, and a Widget. are this settings correct to distribute these to TestFlight and Apple Store ?

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?

Recently, I had an error when building a project with xcode16.3. I'm not sure if it's caused by xcode16.3.

It seems that Run Script didn't work. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Hi I developed an iPhone app but now I want to release the same app for iPad and Mac (Design for iPad). I made the changes below but I still not been able to install the app on my Mac. It says the app is incompatible but my Mac is MacBook Pro M2 which fills the requirements to install it. Things I did so my iPhone app could have support for iPad and Mac Added iPad and Mac (Designed for iPad) for the supported destinations Change the Status Bar Style to Require full screen Changed iOS minimum Deployments iOS to 17.6 Updated the launch screen logo so stays in the middle Xcode version 16.2 See the sccreenshots of the Xcode configuration and of the TestFlight on my MacBook Pro M2 Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks.

I am working on an XCode project and I have some Swift functions within a helper functions file. This file has some functions declared that create 3 global variables. These global variables are then used in various views throughout the app. In the functions, there are print statements for when it catches an error. However, when I run the app and I get an error that stems from this file, there are no print statements. How can I have this print statements show up in the debug console?

Hi all, I’m looking for a way to automate the process of adding Swift Package dependencies (SPM) into an Xcode project. Right now, I’m doing this manually via: Xcode → Project → Swift Packages → Add Package Dependency... But I’d like to script this step — ideally as part of a CI/CD pipeline or a setup script. I explored the xcodeproj Ruby gem, but it doesn’t support adding SPM packages, and there's no official support for editing the .xcodeproj structure related to Swift Packages. So my question is: Is there any Apple-supported or community-supported way to programmatically add Swift Package dependencies to an Xcode project or workspace? Would love to know if anyone has: Used xcodebuild, xcodegen, or other tools for this Explored editing project files directly (like project.pbxproj or Package.resolved) Found any API or CLI hooks from Apple for this Thanks in advance!

Hi - I've added in-app purchases (Quarterly and Yearly ) to my app and submitted it for TestFlight. The app is available, but in my Developer account, the in-app purchases section still shows the products as 'Waiting for Review.' When I test the app for in-app purchase, the dialog does not appear. Is this issue of "Approval" of the in-app purchase product? If YES, how can I get approval for these in-app purchase products? FYI: I have attached a screenshot of the in-app purchase products. Please suggest Thanks, Sushil

Hi guys, recently I've been investigating new UI Testing in Xcode7. There seems to be limited APIs we can call direct in UI test. Can I include header files and call public API of my tested app in UI Test? so that I can have more flexibility to set my app status before running test. I intent to call API method "-(void)reloadURL:(NSURL *)url" of my app in UI Test, but test failed with "XCTRunner -[_XCTRunnerAppDelegate myAppDelegateUtils]: unrecoginzed selector sent to instance 0x7cf0a992fe10"In Unit Test we can call any API of the tested app, does it support in UI Testing too? I'm a start learner of Xcode and its testing...could anyone help to answer this question? Thanks!

I have been wanting to make a mobileprovision file and a p12 file, how do i make these files but using only ipad?

I have tried several options so far to no avail: Unarchiver shuts down silently (after ~1.5hr of trying to unarchive). xip console tool fails after ~1.5hr with this error: xip: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted) xip: error: The archive “Xcode_12.5.1.xip” failed to be moved to the final destination due to the error: The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory. extracted .app is incomplete though weighs about 30GB unxip extracts for ~1.5hr (being stuck for ~40min on Expanding items from “Xcode_12.5.1.xip”: 99%) and then shuts down. extracted .app is incomplete with the size of ~1.9GB Are there any other options I can try to extract Xcode 12.5.1 xip archive? Would external drive be an issue (I have Xcode_12.5.1.xip on external drive)?

Hi Experts, Could you please help. Issue at high level: After Editing a View contains a Table entries, saved and hit back button to display View, Table entries are duplicated or displaying previous and current entries together. Here is my Issue in detailed. List view display, clicking on any row, would navigate to DisplayView of a record. I am displaying a table in DisplayView. DisplayView contains "row" as parameter, and it must be initialized in "init" method, where I use row.key and fetch another table (say ColorTab) using Color.Key. DisplayView contains "NavigationView", with Edit button. it displays fetched Colors. example Red and Green. when user click on Edit, it takes to EditPage. user can remove / add colors. Once user made changes, saved and hit back button. Table entries are duplicated or showing previous and current entries. Options tried, a) init method is only triggering 1st time, not triggering when back button clicked, I failed to use FetchRequest outside of init method, I tried on OnAppear too. i didn't trigger. b) Failed to use FetchRequest inside of var Body too. c) tried using viewContext.refreshAllObjects() .. it is not refreshing the table. Could you please help if there is solution for the issue. Thanks, Bhanu

I tried dragging an apns file for a live activity into my simulator to begin a Live Activity. It didn't do anything. I didn't see it mentioned in the wwdc videos either. So I'm wondering if this experience is not yet developed, or maybe I'm doing something incorrectly?

I want to statically link xcframework as binaryTarget in Swift Package, but it is copied into the product as dynamic when the Xcode build. How to use xcframework in SwiftPackage and statically link it into iOS product? The Package.swift content and the project are: The WebP.xcframework is static: The Xcode Build Product's WebP.framework is dynamic:

I work on an iOS app, written in Objective-C and C++, that uses a static library. I build this library using a Run Script in Build Phases in Xcode. This is a fat library, containing arm64 code built for iPhoneOS, and x86_64 code built for iPhoneSimulator. I'm trying to figure out how to create an arm64 iPhoneSimulator build of my app, and I'm running into a problem. If I simply enable arm64 debug builds, I get an error message saying "building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS", indicating that the arm64 iPhoneOS code in the library is not compatible with an arm64 iPhoneSimulator target. Now, I can build the library as arm64 for iPhoneSimulator, but that means I'll have to build a separate library for the simulator build, since lipo won't combine arm64 iPhoneOS and arm64 iPhoneSimulator builds in one file. My question: how can I get Xcode to link with a different library for iPhoneSimulator builds than for iPhoneOS builds? All I can come up with is to use completely separate targets for debugging in the simulator vs. debugging on a real device, but that seems ugly. (It would be even better if I could use the same library for both arm64 iPhoneSimulator and iPhoneOS builds. The library in question is a math library which makes no system calls, so I think the same code should be usable for both builds, if only I could get the linker to allow that.)

When I execute: geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler:{[weak self](placemarks, error) in print("reverse geocoding location after altitude: ",location.altitude) print("placemark location first", placemarks?.first?.location?.altitude ?? -1) The input CLLocation has correct altitude 25, instead the location in the output placemarks have altitude 0, when of course they should have the same location. Moreover it is impossible to retrofit any data in the returned placemarks as they are portrayed as a read only property.

I have an app that connects to a BLE device and registers its services. I can create a notification when my app is running on foreground or background, but is it possible to show a notification when a message is recieved from the BLE device while the app has been killed by the user?

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
