In Simulator on status bar red banner with rdar:45025538
Out of nowhere I got some red banner on top of my iPhone 13 mini / iOS 17.5. I cannot pin point the root cause of this. What I can say is that it only happens to Simulators of a certain type, e.g. iPhone 12 and 13 mini, but not iPhone 14 for example. I have installed Xcode 26.1.0 and 26.1.1, out of which 26.1.0 is selected: $ xcode-select -p /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer And following runtimes: $ xcrun simctl runtime list == Disk Images == -- iOS -- iOS 17.5 (21F79) - CF933623-A258-44F8-B248-C0F25C0C343B (Ready) iOS 26.1 (23B80) - D11C3CDC-EE3D-44CC-8B92-9B7D00B54B0B (Ready) Total Disk Images: 2 (14.6G) Installing the newer 26.1 23B86 runtime doesn't help either.

Xcode 26.3 Codex Account just spinning
I have the new Xcode 26.3 running on an Intel MBP macOS 26.2 I have clicked to download Codex in the Xcode settings, then under the Intelligence section I select Codex but where it says "ChatGPT Account" there is a spinner that never ends. I suspect it is meant to show a Sign In button. I don't see any documentation to suggest this shouldn't work on Intel, so what gives? My "ChatGPT in Xcode" section is successfully signed in, and i've tried signing that out.

Xcode 26.3 -> ChatGPT -> SSO Based Account
So through work, we have ChatGPT Enterprise accounts, that authenticate via SSO. I am trying to link it to my Xcode 26.3, and it starts the SSO process (I can see it navigate to Microsoft), but then it apparently fails, and then Xcode window says, I am logged out. I have tried multiple times, and confirmed the valid account... Anyway to get Xcode 26.3 to tie to my ChatGPT Enterprise Account?

Perplexity's API Xcode integration
Hi, I'm a novice on Xcode and I have just created an API Key in order to use Perplexity as a model Provider in Xcode 26.4 (beta). The key is valid and, Perplexity support replies this: _The issue is that Xcode expects specific endpoint structures that don't fully match Perplexity's API. Xcode requires a /v1/models endpoint to list available models, which Perplexity doesn't currently provide in that format. Our API uses /chat/completions rather than /v1/chat/completions as well._ Is there a workaround to integrate it and get the benefits of new Intelligence features with Perplexity? Error code is "Provider is not valid - Models could not be fetched with the provided account details" Thanks for your help

How to call API of tested app in UI Testing of Xcode7?
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!

Annoying popup window in Xcode Previews when the initial controller of the main storyboard is a macOS window
I started a project targeting macOS and used Storyboard app lifecycle. I also used Xcode Previews in this project. If I: Keep the entry point of the main storyboard to a window controller. (as default setup in macOS), Turn the Xcode window into full-screen, That window controller would pop up its window every time Xcode Previews refreshes.

Assets duplicating on Xcode 26.1 Beta 3
I've recently installed 26.1 Beta 3 alongside stable 26.0.1 When building my app with 26.0.1 the final .ipa size is ~17mb, however after building my app with 26.1 Beta 3 the size has increased up to ~22mb The main difference is Assets.car blowing from 1.1mb to 5.6mb (or 8.6mb if I include all icons settings). Upon examining I've found new liquid glass .icon file duplicating itself multiple times as png variants (any, dark, tinted, etc). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

ShazamKit enabled on App ID but provisioning profiles do not include com.apple.developer.shazamkit entitlement
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.

Archiving Catalyst project that embeds macOS tool
Hi! I have a Catalyst app that embeds command line utility. So the project has two targets: Catalyst target, this target depends on #2 and embeds it into its bundle. macOS target, the command line tool. Both targets have package dependency to the same package. I used this to embed the CMD tool. Everything builds, runs and works fine until I try to archive the project. Archiving stops early with such error: error: Multiple commands produce '/Users/kse2/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PkgTest-clngkndczxoprpdlwefqqiqlryjt/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/PkgTest/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/macosx/MacrosForSwift.o' note: Target 'MacrosForSwift' (project 'MacrosForSwift') has a command with output '/Users/kse2/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PkgTest-clngkndczxoprpdlwefqqiqlryjt/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/PkgTest/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/macosx/MacrosForSwift.o' note: Target 'MacrosForSwift' (project 'MacrosForSwift') has a command with output '/Users/kse2/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PkgTest-clngkndczxoprpdlwefqqiqlryjt/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/PkgTest/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/macosx/MacrosForSwift.o' What I have tried to fix archiving: Changing PkgTestCMD target to be on Catalyst/iOS instead of macOS. This works but I'm not sure how to properly run CMD tool with iOS SDK (if this correct at all): I need the main thread to be 'unblocked' and be active while background tasks exist. Adding an aux framework that act as container for the package. Doesn't work. Splitting targets into different projects, making workspace and cross-project reference. Doesn't work. My understanding is that archiving attempts to produce .o files for both Catalyst and macOS simultaneously, due to PkgTest being Catalyst and PkgTestCMD being macOS targets. How to archive such a project? Is there a way to separate archiving of CMD and main app? Maybe separate .o files into different directories. Simple building and running the project works, why archiving doesn't want to? I have a test project for the issue: PkgTest. main branch is the source project, DepFramework contains attempt #2, Workspace—#3. Thank you!

Xcode 26 is insanely slow
Hey there Just updated to Xcode 26 on mac OS Sequoia (MBP M1 Max 32GB, 2021, so you know, still pretty decent and capable). Xcode is super slow on building, but also on editing. There is a lag between what I type and what is displayed. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there something I should look into?

When AI leads to lost prompts (26.3)
This was maddening: I had written a very long and detailed prompt, then went to select "Codex" from the drop down menu at the top "start a new conversation", and it wiped out the entire prompt I was working on. Well, of course it did: that drop down is part of the "Start a new Conversation" icon button, but it's position is too far away from the actual icon to infer that is its purpose. It should be a popup that shows the current choice for model (GPT-5, GPT 4.1, Codex). ANOTHER lost prompt problem. If you have a prompt-in-progress (AI is maybe building some code), and Xcode crashes, it might not save that prompt for when you re-launch. And how might that happen? Well, there's still numerous ways using the coding assistanty might crash. One I've notice is if you switch out to another app, or if you invoke a screen capture, it might crash.

Claude Code cannot create files in nested folders
Been playing with Claude Code in Xcode 26.3 as a code assistant and discovered it cannot create files in nested folders, only repo root. Letting Claude troubleshoot itself, it appears that str_replace_based_edit_tool strips forward slashes from the path variable. This is what Claude claims to send: <invoke name="str_replace_based_edit_tool"> <parameter name="command">create</parameter> <parameter name="path">/repo/Test App/EntityTestsAttempt3.swift</parameter> <parameter name="file_text"> // ... file contents ... </parameter> </invoke> And the file that gets created is: Test AppEntityTestsAttempt3.swift Anyone else run into this before or can reproduce it?

Not seeing any AI/Agent options in Xcode 26.3
I've installed Xcode 26.3 on Sequoia 15.7.3 but I'm not seeing any of the AI options showing in Xcode that I see in usage/example videos. For example that AI icon in the top left hand corner isn't visible, and if I select Settings there is no Intelligence section, yet there is in all the demo videos. Why am I not seeing any of these new features?

Application Hangs with Nested LazyVStack When Accessibility Inspector is Active
Description I've encountered a consistent hang/freeze issue in SwiftUI applications when using nested LazyVStack containers with Accessibility Inspector (simulator) or VoiceOver (physical device) enabled. The application becomes completely unresponsive and must be force-quit. Importantly, this hang occurs in a minimal SwiftUI project with no third-party dependencies, suggesting this is a framework-level issue with the interaction between SwiftUI's lazy view lifecycle and the accessibility system. Reproduction Steps I've created a minimal reproduction project available here: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction To Reproduce: Create a SwiftUI view with the following nested LazyVStack structure: struct NestedLazyVStackView: View { @State private var outerSections: [Int] = [] @State private var innerRows: [Int: [Int]] = [:] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 24) { ForEach(outerSections, id: \.self) { section in VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Section #\(section)") // Nested LazyVStack LazyVStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) { ForEach(innerRows[section] ?? [], id: \.self) { row in Text("Section #\(section) - Row #\(row)") .onAppear { // Load more data when row appears loadMoreInner(section: section) } } } } .onAppear { // Load more sections when section appears loadMoreOuter() } } } } } } Enable Accessibility Inspector in iOS Simulator: Xcode → Open Developer Tool → Accessibility Inspector Select your running simulator Enable Inspection mode (eye icon) Navigate to the view and start scrolling Result: The application hangs and becomes unresponsive within a few seconds of scrolling Expected Behavior The application should remain responsive when Accessibility Inspector or VoiceOver is enabled, allowing users to scroll through nested lazy containers without freezing. Actual Behavior The application freezes/hangs completely CPU usage may spike The app must be force-quit to recover The hang occurs consistently and is reproducible Workaround 1: Replace inner LazyVStack with VStack LazyVStack { ForEach(...) { section in VStack { // ← Changed from LazyVStack ForEach(...) { row in ... } } } } Workaround 2: Embed in TabView TabView { NavigationStack { NestedLazyVStackView() // ← Same nested structure, but no hang } .tabItem { ... } } Interestingly, wrapping the entire navigation stack in a TabView prevents the hang entirely, even with the nested LazyVStack structure intact. Questions for Apple Is there a known issue with nested LazyVStack containers and accessibility traversal? Why does wrapping the view in a TabView prevent the hang? Are there recommended patterns for using nested lazy containers with accessibility support? Is this a timing issue, a deadlock, or an infinite loop in the accessibility system? Why that happens? Reproduction Project A complete, minimal reproduction project is available at: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction

This is what Claude claims to send: <invoke name="str_replace_based_edit_tool"> <parameter name="command">create</parameter> <parameter name="path">/repo/Test App/EntityTestsAttempt3.swift</parameter> <parameter name="file_text"> // ... file contents ... </parameter> </invoke> And the file that gets created is: Test AppEntityTestsAttempt3.swift Anyone else run into this before or can reproduce it?

Not seeing any AI/Agent options in Xcode 26.3
I've installed Xcode 26.3 on Sequoia 15.7.3 but I'm not seeing any of the AI options showing in Xcode that I see in usage/example videos. For example that AI icon in the top left hand corner isn't visible, and if I select Settings there is no Intelligence section, yet there is in all the demo videos. Why am I not seeing any of these new features?

Application Hangs with Nested LazyVStack When Accessibility Inspector is Active
Description I've encountered a consistent hang/freeze issue in SwiftUI applications when using nested LazyVStack containers with Accessibility Inspector (simulator) or VoiceOver (physical device) enabled. The application becomes completely unresponsive and must be force-quit. Importantly, this hang occurs in a minimal SwiftUI project with no third-party dependencies, suggesting this is a framework-level issue with the interaction between SwiftUI's lazy view lifecycle and the accessibility system. Reproduction Steps I've created a minimal reproduction project available here: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction To Reproduce: Create a SwiftUI view with the following nested LazyVStack structure: struct NestedLazyVStackView: View { @State private var outerSections: [Int] = [] @State private var innerRows: [Int: [Int]] = [:] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 24) { ForEach(outerSections, id: \.self) { section in VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Section #\(section)") // Nested LazyVStack LazyVStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) { ForEach(innerRows[section] ?? [], id: \.self) { row in Text("Section #\(section) - Row #\(row)") .onAppear { // Load more data when row appears loadMoreInner(section: section) } } } } .onAppear { // Load more sections when section appears loadMoreOuter() } } } } } } Enable Accessibility Inspector in iOS Simulator: Xcode → Open Developer Tool → Accessibility Inspector Select your running simulator Enable Inspection mode (eye icon) Navigate to the view and start scrolling Result: The application hangs and becomes unresponsive within a few seconds of scrolling Expected Behavior The application should remain responsive when Accessibility Inspector or VoiceOver is enabled, allowing users to scroll through nested lazy containers without freezing. Actual Behavior The application freezes/hangs completely CPU usage may spike The app must be force-quit to recover The hang occurs consistently and is reproducible Workaround 1: Replace inner LazyVStack with VStack LazyVStack { ForEach(...) { section in VStack { // ← Changed from LazyVStack ForEach(...) { row in ... } } } } Workaround 2: Embed in TabView TabView { NavigationStack { NestedLazyVStackView() // ← Same nested structure, but no hang } .tabItem { ... } } Interestingly, wrapping the entire navigation stack in a TabView prevents the hang entirely, even with the nested LazyVStack structure intact. Questions for Apple Is there a known issue with nested LazyVStack containers and accessibility traversal? Why does wrapping the view in a TabView prevent the hang? Are there recommended patterns for using nested lazy containers with accessibility support? Is this a timing issue, a deadlock, or an infinite loop in the accessibility system? Why that happens?
