Hi, We use Flat package installers (.pkg based installers) to install our applications on macOS. In macOS 26.1, installation is failing with the error Unable to use PK session due to incompatible packages. Terminating. 2025-11-03 14:22:36+05:30 Admin-3 installer[1160]: Install failed: The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install. Same installer package is working on macOS 26. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've updated my computer to Sequoia 15, Xcode 16 and now no matter what I do, I am unable to work with Swift UI previews. I get this error each time I try to run the preview: Failed to launch app in reasonable time I have done: Uninstall/Re-install Xcode Deleted derived data Deleted the simulator data Used DevCleaner to remove all data related to Xcode Searched all websites about this issue. ( Non shown a good solution ) Write this question on here. If anyone has found a solution, please let me know how you fixed it.

Hello. I'm seeing an inconsistent behavior where breakpoints I set in my (Swift) iOS app behave normally when I'm debugging on a device or on a simulator running iOS 17.x, but when I try using simulators of iOS 16 or 15 the breakpoints get ignored completely. I also observe that the breakpoints remain solid blue and do NOT adopt the dotted blue outline, as experienced by other users. I've seen a few posts on here and on SO about the general issue of ignored breakpoints (with no conclusive answer AFAIK), but I haven't seen any where the behavior varies with the SDK being used. The behavior is repeatable and predictable (within the same app at least). I am not adding the breakpoints after building/running, and I'm sure the logic reaches the lines with the breakpoints (and again, whenever I switch to an iOS 17 simulator, execution does pause as expected with the exact same breakpoints). Things I've tried and looked into: Clean up project build folder Delete and re-install simulators (iOS 16.4 and 15.5) Deleted the entire derived data directory, as well as the CoreSimulator one. Confirm the build configuration is Debug, and the "Debug executable" option is checked. inspect various build flags mentioned in other posts: {Swift compiler - Code generation - Optimization level - Debug: -0none; Debug information format: DWARF (I also tried DWARF with dSYM with no impact)}. Most of my settings are on the plain vanilla/out of the box side, with only a couple of SPM dependencies, and I've been maintaining the same app for about 5 years and don't think I've come across this behavior before. Currently using Xcode 15.1. Deployment target is 14.0. Thank you.

We started seeing an access issue today when attempting to go to the Xcode Cloud tab in App Store Connect. When you navigate to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/teams/:teamId/apps/:appId/ci we're seeing the following message: The page you’re looking for can’t be found. The page you’re looking for does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it. I am the account holder so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Is there an ongoing outage or problem in Xcode Cloud? And, if so, where can I monitor this accurately?

Several app developers are struggling with the inability to provide a separate app icons that looks nice on older macOS versions while at the same time provide Icon Composer icons that look great on macOS Tahoe 26. An ability to provide separate icons is super important to those who have app icons that follow the curvature of the default icon borders (as the corner rounding radius is different for Sequia and Tahoe). Take a look at this for example: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/7564#issuecomment-3042061547 Question: Is there a definitive/recommended way to address this issue? How can a developer add a glass icon variant that looks good on Tahoe and provide a bitmap icon for older macOS versions? Some background info: Prior to Xcode 26 beta 4, one could add an App Icon to Assets to be used as app icon for legacy macOS versions (Sequia and older) and use a new Icon Composer icon (placed in the project root) for macOS Tahoe 26. Enabling "Include all app icon assets" under target settings ensured that older macOS versions would use the old app icons while Tahoe the new Icon Composer glass one. Since Xcode beta 4 this technique no longer works. Xcode instead insists on populating Assets.car with Icon Composer generated variants, disregarding the App Icon provided in Assets. Although the App Icon in Assets makes its way to a .incs file in the app bundle's Contents/Resources folder, but that is not used by macOS anymore and is there for some compatibility purposes. The Assets.car file (which matters) only contains the variants generated by Icon Composer and does not contain the png icons provided in the Assets.

Xcode 16 unindents lines if I choose a code-completion and I cannot find a way to stop this - does anybody know how to stop it? Here's a link to a gif demonstrating this problem - it's incredibly frustrating. https://i.imgur.com/jaDpzpb.gif Thanks in advance

When Xcode 26 Beta 5 compiles my XIBs into NIBs, it spits out a dependency on a class that isn't available pre-macOS 26, named _TtCC6AppKit14NSScrollPocketP33_EC3F85FAB7755D56E669206D2B17725B12BackdropView. All XIBs have a deployment target of macOS 12, so in theory this should be avoided. Even if this is a new (internal) class to macOS 26, the dependency is a problem when the developer is asking to deploy to prior versions. Has anyone else run into this regression? What could possibly be causing the XIB compiler to inject this dependency? The resulting NIBs don't load on anything prior to macOS 26.

I am setting up a new app and am having problems with Xcode Cloud. From Xcode if I click on the "Cloud" button under the Report Navigator I get a spinner for a long time then get the message "Could not load Xcode Cloud data". I also visited the "Xcode Cloud" tab under my app in App Store Connect and I get a spinner and nothing loads. This is a recent account and I'm setting up Xcode Cloud for the first time. Below is what I've tried and I'm out of ideas on how to get this working. In Xcode, I signed out and back in as the Account Holder Closed Xcode and reopened This occurred yesterday and today and have not seen a problem under the Apple System Status page On the latest Xcode 16.2 Checked the Signing & Capabilities tab in Xcode and my team a bundle Id is correct and it's happy with signing. At this time on my machine I am using the distribution profile.

We have a macOS application packaged as a .pkg file. To notarize it, we first code-sign individual library folders and the .app bundle using the following command: codesign --force --deep --sign "Developer ID Application: <Our Account Name>, LLC (Team ID)" "Our_product.app" Code Sign result for .app file: Our_prodcut.app: valid on disk Our_product.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement We are using packages tool to create .pkg file with code signed .app file. Steps followed once .pkg file is ready: 1. Product Sign: productsign -sign "Developer ID Installer: <Our Account Name>" output.pkg signed-output.pkg 2. Submit for notorization: `xcrun notarytool submit signed-outout.pkg --keychain-profile "notarytool-password" --wait Received following output: Current status: Accepted................................. Processing complete id: 2d5c450f-5b22-4b4d-9579-ef21c0356548 status: Accepted Transferred Notarization log: xcrun notarytool log 10169892-b28c-407c-b348-edab0b34ef34 --keychain-profile "notarytool-password" Desktop/developer_log_6.json We have observed log with "Accepted" status with issues as "null". 3.

Please help us to resolve this.

There are at the moment a lot of spams for a bank phone number. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769506 What is really surprising is to read App Store Connect Engineer answer, each time the same: We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities Is it an automatic answer (I cannot believe anyone who read the post did not notice it was a spam) ? If so, couldn't it simply detect it is a spam (Apple Intelligence could come to help) and delete the message (or the account) ? PS: it would also be a spam in Apple Support Communities PS2: I note the message has been deleted very rapidly.

Hello everyone, I am encountering a persistent issue with Xcode where I’m unable to install my app on a testing device due to the following error message: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.SznYNY/extracted/iForC.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.) Here’s what I have tried so far to resolve this issue: 1. Ensured that all my certificates and provisioning profiles are current and valid. 2. Removed all related certificates from my Keychain and reinstalled new ones. 3. Cleaned and rebuilt the project multiple times. 4. Unpaired the device and paired it again. 5. Reinstalled the latest version of Xcode. 6. Performed a complete restore of my Mac. Despite these troubleshooting steps, I am still facing the same issue. I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences related to this error from anyone who has overcome similar challenges. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I developed an app and trying to publish but at the validation state i'm getting two errors. The errors as follows: (1) App record creation failed due to an invalid input. Request failed with the error code "STATE_ERROR.APP_CREATE.PLATFORM_NOT_ALLOWED_DUE_TO_CONTRACT_STATE", and reason "One or more platforms cannot be created for this app due to your provider's contract state. Creation of apps for the platform(s) iOS is not available due to your provider's contract state." (2) App record creation failed due to an invalid attribute. Request failed with error code "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED", and reason "The provided entity is missing a required attribute You must provide a value for the attribute 'companyName' with this request" Which inputs and attributes are causing these errors? Thanks in advance.

Ever since Xcode 15 and iOS 17 came out development has quite often been a nightmare of waiting and waiting -Xcode displaying endless circles saying preparing the device, connecting to the device, installing the device. But recently to add to this, installation and launching is just taking really forever. I'm currently running Xcode 15.1 and various versions of iOS 17 (I have several phones) and installing the app from Xcode takes about 7 - 10 minutes (compared to the same app installing in seconds with Xcode 14 for example). Then once its finally installed, it then takes further minutes to launch, Xcode often actually displays a dialog saying its taking longer than expected to launch the app, adding the footnote "LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols." What could be reasons, and solutions, for the excruciatingly slow installation time, and launch time? I really need to find a solution to this please - making a code change tweak, running, making another, running, making another, running, just isn't possible given the length of time it takes to install and launch each time.
