Hey, im running a MacBook Pro m2 26.4.1 and Xcode 26.4. I'm trying to upload to App Store Connect and it's getting stuck on "Sending analysis to App Store Connect".... now what's interesting my Mac mini m4. same iOS works fine? Any ideas

Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my macOS and Xcode to the latest versions and today I have the strangest thing: Canvas is always crashing whenever I click it, in any and all my Projects. The full Simulator works just fine; only the Preview Canvas crashes. All the crash reports say it's because of AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch, and ChatGPT says it's not because of my code. These are very simple Projects, just for experimentation. Nothing complex, just native code while I follow examples in a SwiftUI book. Anyone else having this issue?

Xcode 26.3 MCP xcode-tools: RunSomeTests / RunAllTests response violates tool output schema (missing required errors per test) I’m using the MCP server “xcode-tools” shipped with Xcode 26.3 to run tests. Two tools fail consistently due to a schema mismatch: RunSomeTests RunAllTests Steps Call XcodeListWindows and get a valid tabIdentifier for my workspace. Call GetTestList with that tabIdentifier. This works and returns test identifiers like: ChatKitManagerCreationTests/testInitializesWithDependencies() Call RunSomeTests with tests = [{ targetName, testIdentifier }, …] (or call RunAllTests). Actual result The tool call fails with an MCP schema validation error like: Structured content does not match the tool's output schema: data/results/0 must have required property 'errors', data/results/1 must have required property 'errors', ... Why this looks like an xcode-tools bug According to the tool descriptor JSON for RunSomeTests / RunAllTests, each element of results[] is required to contain: targetName identifier displayName state errors (required, array of strings) But the actual response returned by RunSomeTests / RunAllTests appears to omit the errors field for one or more results (for passed tests it should still be present as an empty array []). Expected result RunSomeTests / RunAllTests always return structured content matching their declared output schema. In particular, every results[i] should include errors: [] when there are no errors. Environment Xcode: 26.3 macOS: Darwin 25.4.0 Workspace: Grocery.xcworkspace Scheme: GroceryCoreTests Active test plan: GroceryCoreTests Question Is this a known issue in Xcode 26.3’s MCP xcode-tools? Is there a workaround (e.g. alternative output mode, or reading a full summary file) until the schema/response is fixed?

Hello! Every time I attempt to enroll into the program I get hit with one of the following two errors: Unknown Error Please try again. Apple ID Issue The region of the Apple ID that's signed in to Settings or System Preferences is different than the region of the Apple ID with which you signed into the Apple Developer app. Sign in to Settings or System Preferences with an Apple ID that has the same region. I’m very confused by this message because I have never changed the region of my Apple ID - it should be United States. How can I complete my enrollment?

Pulling my hair out here. After upgrading to Xcode Version 26.4.1 (17E202) I've started getting "unable to create tasks to copy stub binary: can't determine architectures of binary: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchSimulator.platform/Library/Application Support/MessagesApplicationStub/MessagesApplicationStub: Cannot open file handle for file at path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchSimulator.platform/Library/Application Support/MessagesApplicationStub/MessagesApplicationStub: The file “MessagesApplicationStub” doesn’t exist." No matter what I do when trying to run the build (worked in previous versions). I've tried fresh install from App Store, direct package download, removing the SDKs, even previous versions and no matter what I get

Hello everyone. I need help! I'm using Xcode solely to create an archive of a mobile application created with WinDev Mobile. When everything is working correctly, I simply retrieve the application's generated version from WinDev Mobile, launch the archive creation process, and add a new version to TestFlight! Then I can test the application on the iPhone. The current problem is that the application crashes, without any error message, in a specific use case. Hoping to get some help with this crash, I had the idea to test the application using Xcode. Once launched, a crash occurs if I follow the same process. There's an error message, which I'll paste below. What does this error mean? How can I relate it to my WinDev Mobile code? Have a good day.

My app start up has became horrid. It takes 1 minute to open SQLlite database for my rust core. Impossible to work... I have Address Sanitizer, Thread Perf Checker and Thread Sanitizer disabled...

My Claude Agent component version was 2.1.81, it prompted me for an update the other day from the original release version 2.1.59. But now that I've installed Xcode 26.4.1 it's back to thinking 2.1.59 is the newest version. With every Xcode release it feels like there's a new regression or weird surprise with coding intelligence (26.4 was Claude losing its OAuth token every 8 hours or so). It really feels like this stuff needs more eyes on it. Filed as FB22529202

I have an iOS project based on SwiftUI in which almost all code is organised in Packages. With Xcode 26.2 and 26.3, I can preview all SwiftUI views without issues. With Xcode 26.4, the same previews don't work, in the canvas appears this error message: "Cannot preview in this file. Could not find target description for “TaskListView.swift”". The explanation is: "The list of source files that produce object files did not contain this file to be previewed. Check to make sure it is not excluded using the EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES build setting." If I add a SwiftUI view to the main project files (not in a package), the preview works as expected. Is it an Xcode 26.4 regression? Or do I need to modify some configuration file?

My development work is paused as Xcode is now non-functional on my Macs. Loading any project into Xcode soon leads to a hang and Force Quit. The SDKs are listed as "status unavailable". No Simulators are available. I've tried previous versions of Xcode; removing everything and re-installing; installation from the Store and direct from the Apple Developer site. I've created a Feedback issue. This happens on both of my Mac minis. I'm running Tahoe 26.4 (25E246) on both.

Dear all, I am not able to transfer a programm to my iPhone 17, i get a certificate issue. Although i followed the general steps. If I was guided to this forum by the german apple support. Before in macOS Sonoma, with iOS 16 and iPhone 8 i have been able building programs for the iPhone. The Simulator has still no issues and works fine. Problem/Error: Certificate installation failed Installing a certificate in the keychain failed (Error Domain=DVTSecErrorDomain Code=-25295 "The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file." UserInfo={NSLocalisedDescription=The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file.}) No profiles for '-.delme2' were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching '-.delme2'. Furthermore, when I try to download a certificate myself via (https://aninterestingwebsite.com/account/resources/) I get the error: Unable to find a team with the given Team ID 'XXXXXXXCENSORED' to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support. https://aninterestingwebsite.com/support In XCode I continue to receive the following information: So no programs can be transferred to my mobile phone. Objective: How do I get the reported errors resolved to transfer programs to my mobile phone?

Since 26.4 beta 3 I've been having errors after a few hours of using Claude Agent. I get an error stating that I am not authed. If I go into Xcode settings, it still shows I am signed into Claude Agent. I have click sign out and then go through the whole auth process again to start using the agent again. This is on two separate computers. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour and stay logged in for longer? It worked fine in 26.3.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I switch between Project / Tests / Breakpoints using top left pane 100s times a day. I also switch to search using CMD-Shift-F. In Xcode 26.4 I have to tap the <> to open menu. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior. Does any of the UX guys who worked on that feature use Xcode on daily basis? This is so bad :(

I have an orphaned asset folder taking up 9.13GB located at: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime/c0d3fd05106683ba0b3680d4d1afec65f098d700.asset It contains SimulatorRuntimeAsset version 18.5 (Build 22F77). Active Version: My current Xcode setup is using version 26.2 (Build 23C54). I checked the plist files in the directory and found what seems to be the cause of the issue: The "Never Collected" Flag: The Info.plist inside the orphaned asset folder explicitly sets the garbage collection behavior to "NeverCollected": <key>__AssetDefaultGarbageCollectionBehavior</key> <string>NeverCollected</string> The Catalog Mismatch: The master catalog file (com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime.xml) in the parent directory only lists the new version (26.2). Because the old version (18.5) is missing from this XML, Xcode and mobileassetd seem to have lost track of it entirely. What I Have Tried (All Failed) Xcode Components: The version 18.5 does not appear in Settings -> Components, so I cannot delete it via the GUI. Simctl: xcrun simctl list runtimes does not list this version. Running xcrun simctl runtime delete 22F77 fails with: "No runtime disk images or bundles found matching '22F77'." Manual Deletion: sudo rm -rf [path] fails with "Operation not permitted", presumably because /System/Library/AssetsV2 is SIP-protected. Third-party Tools: Apps like DevCleaner do not detect this runtime (likely because they only scan ~/Library or /Library, not /System/Library). Has anyone found a way to force the system (perhaps via mobileassetd or a specific xcrun flag) to re-evaluate this folder and respect a deletion request? I am trying to avoid booting into Recovery Mode just to delete a cache file. Any insights on how AssetsV2 handles these "orphaned" files would be appreciated.

Hi, I’m a paid Apple Developer Program member and I’m seeing an entitlement issuance issue with ShazamKit. ShazamKit is enabled for my App ID (com.tomharris.dnbidfinder) in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. However, every iOS Development provisioning profile I generate does not include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.shazamkit verified this by decoding the downloaded .mobileprovision file: security cms -D -i .mobileprovision | /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :Entitlements" /dev/stdin The entitlement dictionary does not contain the ShazamKit key. Because of this: • The signed .app does not contain the Shazam entitlement • SHSession.match(signature) fails on device • I receive ShazamKit runtime error 201 / 212 I’ve already: • Toggled ShazamKit off and back on for the App ID • Created new provisioning profiles • Created a brand new App ID to test • Refreshed profiles in Xcode The portal UI shows ShazamKit as enabled, but the entitlement is not being issued into provisioning profiles. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there an additional approval step required for ShazamKit, or could this be a backend entitlement propagation issue? Thanks.

My Family Controls (Distribution) capability request (C4N7962252) was approved March 15, 2026 for bundle ID com.jedsiegel.unplugtogether. All three Family Controls capabilities are enabled on the App ID. When I generate a provisioning profile (manual or automatic), Xcode reports: "Provisioning profile doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement." I decoded the profile using security cms -D and found: com.apple.developer.family-controls.app-and-website-usage → present com.apple.developer.family-controls → missing entirely My entitlements file requires com.apple.developer.family-controls with value ["individual"] for AuthorizationCenter. I've tried toggling capabilities off/on, deleting and recreating profiles, switching between automatic and manual signing, and clearing provisioning profile caches. Nothing works because the profile generation itself is not including the entitlement. Team ID: Q4RA4WMD6K Xcode 26.3, targeting iOS 26.2 Has anyone encountered this? Is there a way to get the provisioning system to include this entitlement?

For the last 2 days, the claude agent has stopped working, it's not the issue where you get logged out after 8 hours, I have signed out and back in multiple times, quit xcode, nothing is working, every request just generates the following response: "Your request couldn't be completed."
