App Unable to Archive After Xcode Update
Hi! I am having trouble getting my app to build successfully or archive since an xcode update a few months ago. Below is the error that shows in the log. Thank you in advance for any help! Run custom shell script 'Run Script' Failed to package [project folder]. Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Breakpoint on Runtime Issue os_log_fault_default_callback
The app stops on the breakpoint when "All Runtime Issues" is added. If I disable the breakpoint, the app runs normally. Is there a new project setting to avoid this breakpoint from being set. It does not appear to be a valid error. I am running Xcode 16.2. I edited the "Type" field in the breakpoint box. This occurs with the "System Frameworks" option only.

XCode Error Code: Failed to Save
I have a Mac Mini (M4) running macOS Sequoia 15.3.1. I very recently downloaded and installed the current version of XCode from the app store. I have not added any extensions - it's a vanilla, un-customized, un-enhanced installation. I have two user profiles (accounts) on my Mac: one Administrator and one Standard, each using a different apple account. I am using the Standard user account to learn XCode. When I attempt to set up a project, I get an error message when Xcode initially tries to save the (provided) project template file. The error states: "Failed to save Project2.xcodeproj. The backing file has been modified outside of XCode." I am using a NAS drive to store my project file. I have also tried saving it to the Desktop. It makes no difference to the error wherever the file is being saved. Similarly, I tried changing the Standard user account to an Administrator account to see if it was a privileges problem. Again, it made no difference to the error message. (So I changed the account back to a Standard user). I have tried googling the error but I only find references to problems related to extension/add-in products to XCode: none of which have I added to my XCode installation. I am attaching screenshots of the steps through the project creation process. Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong or what the problem is. Thank you.

WatchOS Xcode 16.4 to sample live RR intervals from the PPG sensor ERROR
Hi, I am getting an error stating "Argument passed to call that takes no arguments". I want this Apple Watch App to measure and store RR Intervals from the PPG sensor on the Apple Watch for Heart Rate Variability calculations. Please help me fix this, I can't figure it out. Here is my code: heartbeatQuery = HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery(predicate: predicate, dataReceivedHandler: { (query, timeSinceLastBeat, ended, error) in // Switch to main thread for UI updates DispatchQueue.main.async { if let error = error { print("Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)") self.fetchErrorMessage = "Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)" // Consider stopping the workout session if the query fails critically // self.stopWorkoutSession() return } if ended { print("Heartbeat query indicates series ended.") } // Append valid RR intervals if timeSinceLastBeat > 0 { self.rrIntervals.append(timeSinceLastBeat) self.beatCount += 1 } } // End DispatchQueue.main.async }) // End query data handler // --- END OF PROBLEMATIC INITIALIZER --- // Execute the query if it was created successfully It recommends the fix as removing this part: '(predicate: predicate, dataReceivedHandler: { (query, timeSinceLastBeat, ended, error) in // Switch to main thread for UI updates DispatchQueue.main.async { if let error = error { print("Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)") self.fetchErrorMessage = "Heartbeat query error: (error.localizedDescription)" // Consider stopping the workout session if the query fails critically // self.stopWorkoutSession() return } if ended { print("Heartbeat query indicates series ended.") } // Append valid RR intervals if timeSinceLastBeat > 0 { self.rrIntervals.append(timeSinceLastBeat) self.beatCount += 1 } } // End DispatchQueue.main.async })' But after I remove that it says "Cannot assign value of type 'HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery.Type' to type 'HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery'" PLEASE HELP ME Thanks

App Clip cannot determine the source of the opening
Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

In-app purchases fetching issue
I am trying to add in-app purchases to my app. I created a StoreKit Configuration file and checked the option 'Sync this file with an app in App Store Connect' because I have already completed the subscription setup in my Apple Developer account. I also tried implementing the in-app purchases directly without using the StoreKit Configuration file, but I’m getting an 'Invalid Product Identifiers' error. I’ve double-checked, and the product ID matches the one listed in my Apple account. Please guide me on what I should do.

Xcode 16 Build & Archive Error - SPM
Since upgrading from Xcode 15 to 16, we have been experiencing a build error during compilation. Building on Xcode 15 still works with no issues. The error happens only on the first build after a clean. Subsequent builds succeed. This is an issue because our CI process archives the project from a clean slate, and this causes it to fail every time. I will attempt to describe the issue and include information I believe is relevant in this document. The error occurs on this import line within an Objective-C file during the Scan Dependencies step of compiling. This line imports our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "Swift2Objc.h". Our custom Objective-C to Swift bridging header file is simply wrapping the project’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging header file - "KWISwift.h". The error is specific to the import of the OfflineServices Swift Package. Specifically, the OfflineServices-Swift.h file - the Swift Package’s auto-generated Objective-C to Swift bridging file. Module JRE not found - the exact error (Also included as text on the bottom of the post) JRE is a third-party library provided to us as an xcframework. It is placed directly into our Swift Package as a binary target. The xcframework itself is composed of .a file and a Headers folder which includes header files and a module.modulemap. The module.modulemap file looks like this.

How can one suppress SF Symbol deprecation warnings?
Xcode 16 insists on showing deprecations of this type: Some.xib SF Symbol 'doc.on.doc' is deprecated, use 'document.on.document' instead. The problem is that the XIBs in question are set with a Deployment Target of macOS 12, where "document.on.document" actually isn't available and produces a missing image. So the warnings are wrong, as they ignore the deployment target set on the XIB. I filed a bug against this long ago and it was ignored. Having given up... does anyone know how to disable this particular warning?

Unity (IL2CPP) iOS Build: "_placeGeoAnchor" Undefined Symbol for Architecture arm64
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

Build Libraries For Distribution flag usage
I want to build an ios .xcframework (for external delivery) and .framework(for internal debugging) in order to package some code to a customer for incorporation into their app. My framework has a dependency upon RealmSwift, which I've added using SPM. There is a warning saying Module RealmSwift was not compiled with library evolution support. And when building SwiftVerifyEmittedModuleInterface fails with an error saying "missing required modules: 'Realm.Private', 'Realm', 'Realm.Swift'" By default, Build Libraries For Distribution was set to YES, however if I turn it off then the warning and error go away and I can cleanly build the framework. I've been attempting to get a good understanding of this flag and if it should be used or not, most material says yes but doesn't go a good job of explaining why. However anyway I can't get the framework to build with RealmSwift as a dependency without turning off this flag. Therefore is that ok to proceed down that route? Does the fact the xcframework will only ever be distributed to one consumer affect decisions (i.e. binary compatibility etc.) Thanks

ncorrect Beta Xcode Error
Unable to Submit iOS App for App Review Due to Incorrect Beta Xcode Error I'm encountering an issue when trying to submit a new build of my iOS app to the App Store. The app launches from TestFlight without any problems, but when attempting to submit it for App Review, I get the following error: "This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can’t be submitted." However, I'm not using a beta version of Xcode. I've tested this with both the public releases of Xcode 16.3 and 16.2. The build logs show no issues with the SDK or Platform versions, but in App Store Connect, the metadata is displaying the following: Build SDK: $(SDK_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) Build Platform: $(PLATFORM_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION) any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Xcode completion binding not working in 16.2
I'm wondering why 'Select Previous Completion' and 'Select Next Completion' aren't working. I'm using Ctrl-K and Ctrl-J but only my arrow keys work to navigation the completion list. 'Show Completion List' works just fine with Ctrl-Esc. There are no conflicts with any Xcode bindings, and I've checked my system settings for keyboard shortcuts as well.. I've completely disabled copilot, etc.. Is there another setting I'm missing? Or, is this a known issue?

Device not detected
Trying to test applications on AVP as opposed to simulator. AVP can connect to MacBook via Mac virtual display so connection exists, but in X code under Windows devices the AVP does not show up same holds true on the AVP itself under remote devices. The MacBook Pro does not appear. I am signed in under the same account on the same Wi-Fi network. I have tried all basic troubleshooting. It is not clear to me that I am logged in as a developer, which could be the issue, but I am using OS 26, which does not appear to have the developer option under privacy and security where it used to reside in previous versions of the OS.
