Is there some official documentation about the SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT environment variable and how it affects the version reported by tools like sw_vers and whether the presence of that environment variable affects APIs like NSOperatingSystemVersion? I ask this in context of recent macOS 26 Beta version where NSOperatingSystemVersion from older versions of XCode (for example XCode 15.4) report the macOS version as 16.0.

In the latest Xcode video, I saw that the newest version of Xcode has integrated large language models (LLMs), allowing users to switch between models in Settings. However, after downloading Xcode 26 Beta and opening Settings, I couldn't find this feature. Is it because this functionality hasn't been rolled out in the Beta version?

I'm watching the session video "What's new in Xcode 26" and when I try out the new #Playground macro (in the context of a local package in my project) I see only this activity indicator for about 10-15 minutes: Eventually I do see this error: Despite the error, my local package does not import SwiftUI and has no dependencies other than Foundation. I checked the Xcode 26 release notes and I don't see this issue mentioned. A clean build of my project takes 55 seconds. Is it expected behavior that #Playground would require 10+ minutes to spin up? Is there anything I can to do make the new #Playground macro work correctly? Thank you.

I've installed Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e), and if I select my project from the Welcome to Xcode dialog, Xcode crashes. I've attempted this 10 times with the same result each time. What should I do? Thank you.

Hi, I am having an issue with xcodebuild -showdestinations command. Steps to reproduce: Create a new iOS application project in Xcode or use an existing one. Navigate to this project in a terminal. Run xcodebuild -project 'your-project-name.xcodeproj' -scheme 'your-scheme' -showdestinations What I expect: All destinations available in the Xcode UI should be listed. What I get: It depends. For new projects, I consistently get only generic platform destinations and my connected physical device. When I run the same command on an older project, I sometimes see all the expected destinations. It seems to be a roughly 50/50 chance between the two outcomes. Is there a way to get consistent results from xcodebuild -showdestinations? What can I do to ensure all destinations are listed reliably? Here is a more detailed log and a screenshot: ❯ xcodebuild -workspace 'WorkoutDiary.xcworkspace' -scheme 'WorkoutDiary' -showdestinations Command line invocation: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -workspace WorkoutDiary.xcworkspace -scheme WorkoutDiary -showdestinations User defaults from command line: IDEPackageSupportUseBuiltinSCM = YES 2025-06-17 19:13:50.261 xcodebuild[34753:6177985] DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion. 2025-06-17 19:13:50.342 xcodebuild[34753:6177959] [MT] DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion.

It seems like your enrollment has been stuck in processing for months without any updates from Apple. Despite repeatedly using the 'contact us' option, you haven't received any feedback.

I am wondering if new AVCam sample code was tested before release. It hangs on startup on iPhone 14 pro running iOS 26 beta with the following logs on console: <<<< FigAudioSession(AV) >>>> audioSessionAVAudioSession_CopyMXSessionProperty signalled err=-19224 (kFigAudioSessionError_UnsupportedOperation) (getMXSessionProperty unsupported) at FigAudioSession_AVAudioSession.m:606 <<<< FigAudioSession(AV) >>>> audioSessionAVAudioSession_CopyMXSessionProperty signalled err=-19224 (kFigAudioSessionError_UnsupportedOperation) (getMXSessionProperty unsupported) at FigAudioSession_AVAudioSession.m:606 App is being debugged, do not track this hang Hang detected: 8.04s (debugger attached, not reporting)```

When watching videos about Xcode, the AI coding feature is demonstrated using Swift. Since our company started development early with an Objective-C codebase, I want to know whether the Intelligence feature mentioned in the new feature video supports Objective-C

Hello, I've noticed the prices of my products in my Xcode synced StoreKit configuration are not updated when I change the price in App Store Connect. I tried to manually sync the file, to remove and add it again to my project but old initial prices are still used. In the screenshot below, the price is currently $2.99 but the file still uses the initial price of $1.99. It makes testing a little bit painful because I'm never sure which product is being shown. Is this a bug? Is there a way to get the live production App Store prices be used instead of the starting prices? I filed a feedback for this: FB17798486 Regards, Axel

I have developed a Swift macro called @CodableInit in the SwiftCodableMacro module, and I’m able to use it successfully in my main project. Here’s an example usage: import SwiftCodableMacro @CodableInit // This is for Codable macros public class ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin { public var identifier: UUID = UUID() // MARK: - Codable required public init(from decoder:Decoder) throws { let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) identifier = try values.decode(UUID.self, forKey: .identifier) } } However, when I try to write a unit test for the ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin class, I encounter an issue. Here's the test case: func testCodableSubjectIdentifierShouldEqualDecodedSubjectIdentifier() { self.measure { let encoder = JSONEncoder() let data = try? encoder.encode(subject) //Here I am getting this error Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' let decoder = JSONDecoder() let decodedSubject = try? decoder.decode(ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin.self, from: data!) XCTAssertEqual(subject.identifier, decodedSubject?.identifier) } } The compiler throws an error saying: Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' Even though the @CodableInit macro is supposed to generate conformance, it seems that this macro-generated code is not visible or active inside the test target. How can I ensure that the @CodableInit macro (from SwiftCodableMacro) is correctly applied and recognized within the XCTest target of my main project?

I kept CoreLocation’s startUpdatingLocation running for a full day and used Performance trace - PowerProfiler to track the power usage during that time. The trace file was successfully generated on the iOS device, and I later transferred it to my MacBook. However, when I tried to open the .atrc file, I received the following warning: The document cannot be imported because of an error: File ‘/Users/jun/Downloads/PowerProfiler_25-06-16_181049_to_25-06-17_091037_001.atrc’ doesn’t contain any events. Why is this happening? Is there a known issue with PowerProfiler in iOS 26, or am I missing something in the tracing setup? Note: The .aar file and the extracted .atrc file are not attached here, as forum uploads do not support these formats.

I've been messing around with converting my app icons to use Icon Composer. My app has multiple app icons, but I've noticed that I cant seem to set .icon files using the alternate app icon api. I believe this is due to the requirement that alternate app icons live in the Assets Catalogue but .icon files go anywhere in your project. Is there any plan to support this? Or am i missing something? I was able to successfully set a .icon file for the primary app icon.

Please see the image for reference. This is a 2020 MBP and ive tried over the past few days and its not recognizing that 26 is available for download. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I submitted a Feedback (FB17843422) on Monday evening after the keynote about Tahoe beta 1. At the time it still wasn't listed in the "What build does the issue occur on?" dropdown. I selected "I'm not sure" instead hoping I could update it later but as far as I can tell that isn't the case since "Add more information" only lets me add additional comments. Is there some way for me to do that or is it even necessary?

I am here and I AM UNABLE TO PUBLISH AN UPLDATE!

THIS IS THE WORSE WAY TO SETUP AN ACCOUNT I EVER SEE

Do simulators match real device for pixel density for testing image assets?

Weirdness going on here. Our app is crashing on startup with iPad 7s running iOS 18.5. Before updating to iOS 18.5, it was working fine on iPad 7s. Even with iOS 18.5, it is working fine on every device we have tried including dozens of other iPads and iPhones. We have narrowed it down to the SquareReaderSDK. If we remove that SDK, it will launch and work without issues. But, many of our users need the SquareReaderSDK. The crash happens at app load, before appDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions. So we can't figure out any way to debug the issue. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Square thinks it is an Apple issue.

Hello!!! I want to do a little project for the original iPhone running iOS 3.1.3 and I don’t find the SDK for iOS 3.1.3. I’ve tried downloading Xcode 3.1.3 from the Apple Developer site, but during the installation process, the iPhone SDK doesn’t appear to be included. I also tested Xcode 3.2.2, but it doesn’t seem to have the iPhone OS 3.1.3 SDK either. Does anyone still have the iPhone OS 3.1.3 SDK available or know where I can find it? Thanks!! Edgar

Canvas Previews (targeting macOS) in both Xcode 16.4 & Xcode 26 fail to load, when the project imports a Swift package that imports and uses WebKit. I'm on macOS 15.5. Tried also to bring minimum targets of both the project and the package to 15.0. I see that there are some work-arounds for iOS simulator but nothing for the Mac. Anyone facing the same problem?
