Hi! I was wondering if anyone else encountered similar issues and what the solution ended up being.
We're encountering weird sign-in issues on our iOS version of our app. It seems like an uninstall and reinstall solves it, but the issue seems to only impact users who underwent the transfer process from one iOS device to another. What I am curious about:
What is copied over from one device to another in this process?
Is there a way outside of owning multiple test devices to replicate this flow?
Our current suspicion is that NSUserDefaults is not being cleared by our app on first start, and that stale data is copied over during this transfer process, breaking the sign-in until a re-install wipes everything properly.
Does it seem like we're on the right track with this assumption, or completely out to lunch?

With the latest (26) version of Apple's developer tools, is there a way to manually attach a debugger (other than lldb) to an iOS app launched with "devicectl device process launch --start-stopped"?
In the past, this was possible via the ios-deploy third-party tool (now defunct), which provided a debugserver port. This information is notably missing when using devicectrl – although the process ID of the launch process is provided, and the tool is clearly aimed at letting you launch and attach to processes from the command line.
lldb can, of course, attach via its built-in support for this using the device set of commands. But I'm explicitly looking for a way to attach my own debugger via the GDB-compatible debug proxy.
In our App we have a need to open Apple Developer App from our iOS App to guide user to Developer App.
But looks like there is no confirmed URL Scheme provided.
Can you help on this.

Hi guys!
I have gone through an absolute nightmare, trying to solve the issue that I am about to tell you about.
As the title says, I am getting the error:
Library '/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/17/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a' not found
I trimmed off part of that directory as I did not want to reveal that information about my computer.
From what I can tell, the file in question is no longer even a part of Xcode. I have searched, it is not on my computer anywhere.
I have also downloaded older versions of Xcode to search with it. None of them have it.
I have literally tried everything under the Son to solve this issue.
I have been stuck on it for two days.
I have even resorted to doing something I hate, which is asking for ChatGPT to assist me with solving the issue. No help there.
I am at my wits end. So I am coming to you guys, have you seen this error?
Any ideas at all? The odds are pretty good whatever you recommend I have probably already tried 200 times over. But I am still open to hearing anything.
Have any of you had this error? Any ideas?
I am on the latest version of macOS.
The project is for a macOS app.
M4 Mac mini.
Any additional information I can provide, that will be helpful?
At this point, I am leaning more towards this being a bug with Xcode than anything.
I'm trying to compile a simple hello world C++ program on my MacBook Pro. I have a M3 Pro (Nov 2023) running Sequoia 15.6. The program is:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
The error I get is:

This usually means that your header search paths are not configured properly. The header search paths should contain the C++ Standard Library headers before any C Standard Library, and you are probably using compiler flags that make that not be the case.

Does that mean I have to reinstall OSX?
Background Assets can support a maximum of 200G. Will the Apple server perform file comparison? For example, file0 is included in both a.aar file and b.aar file. On the Apple server, does it occupy twice the size of a single file?
In SF Symbols 7 (115), there are 458 symbols missing Availability info. I only discovered this after using one that didn’t appear in iOS 18 but does in iOS 26.
Questions:
Are there plans to add Availability info for all symbols?
If the field is blank, is there a safe latest-OS version we can assume?
I realize managing 7,000+ icons is tough, but missing info like this makes development frustrating. It doesn't help that there's no build warning when a named image isn't found, it just defaults to the text label.
Screenshot
Screenshot of SF Symbols 7 showing three symbols missing Availability info. The symbol ellipsis.circle.badge is selected and its properties pane also shows no Availability info.
Is this a valid thing to include in the Info.plist file?
If so is a category of public.app-category.astronomyvalid? I couldn't find that, but the categories I did find seemed very limited.
I added an Apple Watch app target for an iOS app. If I install it directly through Xcode it runs, however it seems to be able to communicate with iphone through Watch Connectivity framework and once I close the app it seems to uninstall itself from the watch. When I installed the iphone app frist, the app does not show up on the available apps on the iphone Watch application, what could be the issue ?
The iphone app was created using react native through expo.

Q. Is there a plan to finally document the PackageInfo file format used in .pkg flat package?
The man page for pkgbuild is not really useful to understand the different options.
It does not seem to make sense to have an official documentation for the Distribution Definition file but not for the PackageInfo file.
Hello,
I have an iphone but not an ipad
Actually a relative has an iPad.
The problem I encoutered was when i was testing an app that I had built prior (so I had the ipa file) but no acces to Xcode.
The thing is when I wanted to test it on my iphone, everything WENT SMOOTH and ok.
When I tried on iPAD, I encounteed the problem I could not unlock the hidden "developer mode" option in any way, I tried so many things, checked and rechecked, the option was and stayed hidden, I could not activate it. Therefore I could not test the app.
In the apple store I was required to give a screenshot for iPAD but that failed. because I could not produce ANY, since I could not run my app on iPAD.
I actually have no idea how I activated the ability to turn on the developer mode on my iphone, it was just there and I activated it
perhaps because I had added the email of my iphone to the developer account somehow? somehwere?
But for iPAD I just could not find a way to do it, don't know if adding it somewhere could trigger something on the ipad to allow it to show the developer mode option so I can activate it finally?
Anyway, I tried things I read on internet, methods that mention how to activate the developer mode ability on an ios devide though WINDOWS, there were 2 but one I did not trust much, and even I think i tried it and in the end it did not work for some incompatibility making that method obsolete or something? the other I am not sure but probably same idea.
I would like to know, how to activate the ABILITY to SHOW the option to activate the developer mode on iPAD (or any other device but for now I am focuson on iPad) please, and without using macbook or xcode!?
Could Apple or anyone offer some guidance?
That would help a fellow developer.
Thank you.
Ps. No I cant get the mac or xcode for now (but hopefully in a far future, but for now I can't). Thanks
In the archived documentation for Distribution Definition files (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/DistributionDefinitionRef/Chapters/Distribution_XML_Ref.html), the allowed-os-versions and os-version element are partially documented.
I have a few questions about these elements:
allowed-os-versions
The documentation states:
Availability: Available in OS X v10.6.6 and later.
Has this element always worked correctly in the past? I'm asking because it does not seem to work correctly on OS X v10.14 for the min attribute of a sub os-version element.
os-version
The documentation states:
This element is designed for you to use a specific OS version number for the min attribute, and a major OS version number for the before attribute. The expectation is that you will know an exact minimum version but not an exact major version. This keeps you from having to guess the last minor revision before the next major revision, as you would have to do if the before attribute were inclusive.
This is quite confusing because the documentation never explicitly says what a specific or major OS version number is.
Is specific major.minor.patch or major.minor? What is major? major or major.minor?
As the documentation was created at a time where the OS version scheme was: 10.minor.patch (and minor was actually the major) and we are now in an era where the OS version is major.minor.path, this is even more confusing.
I would also be curious to know what the major version is officially supposed to be for macOS Tahoe in this case. 16 or 26?
Generally speaking, this documentation is missing examples for a lot of the elements.
Also why is there a tag for InstallerJS and not one for Installation in the Developer Forums?
My application targets iOS 15+. Attempting to build and run it on my iPhone SE (orphaned at iOS 15.6) results in "Failed to prepare the device for development."
I'm building with Xcode 15.2.
What is the expected procedure here?
I received this message when trying to submit a build using Rork.com. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to fix it?
There is a problem with the request entity - You are not allowed to create 'iOS' profile with App ID 'XXXXXXXX'.

Hello,
I'm trying to use multiple Background Assets Packs to host map tiles.
This is problematic for a few reasons.
MKTileOverlay requires a method that returns a URL.
AssetPackManager.shared.url() throws, but it's unrelated to the url. It will return a URL even if it points to nothing.
There's no name-spacing. Everything appears to be flattened. (See Error below)
Simultaneously, this also is not the case as the documentation states: if there’s a path collision across multiple asset packs, then it’s undefined from which asset pack an individual file will be resolved.
AssetPackManager.shared.url() doesn't have an optional parameter to explicitly declare the asset pack you want to access, like AssetPackManager.shared.contents(at: FilePath) does
For example, I have multiple different tiles I'm trying to overlay for z: 10, x: 239, and y: 414.
Foo/10/239/414.png
Bar/10/239/414.png
And even when explicitly stating the fold directory, it appears that the assets are flattened down. As I'm receiving this error.
The URL for “Foo/10/239/414.png” couldn’t be retrieved: “414.png” couldn’t be copied to “239” because an item with the same name already exists.
Every now and then I get this very frustrating message on Feedback Assistant.
For instance, in FB14696726 I reported an issue with the App Store Connect API. 4 weeks later, I got a reply, asking among other things for a „correlation key and Charles log“. I immediately replied saying that I didn‘t know what those are, and they replied
After reviewing your feedback, it is unclear what the exact issue is.
I pointed out that I had asked a question which was left unanswered, and they replied explaining what the correlation key is. Then I asked again what the Charles log is. They replied
The Apple Developer website provides access to a range of videos covering various topics on using and developing with Apple technologies. You can find these videos on our Development Videos page: http://developer.apple.com/videos.
I opened the link and searched for „Charles“ but there were no results, so I asked to kindly point me to the video answering my question. They replied 3 months later (today):
Following up on our last message, we believe this issue is either resolved or not reproducible with the information provided and will now consider this report closed internally. This Feedback will no longer be monitored, and incoming messages will not be reviewed.
This is not the first time I ask for clarification and get back a message basically telling me that „we won‘t answer any questions you may have and won‘t hear anything you still may have to say about this issue“. They didn‘t even ask me to verify if the issue is resolved or not, like they sometimes do. No, they just shut the door in my face.
I just wanted to share this frustrating experience. Perhaps an Apple engineer wants to say something about it or a developer has had a similar experience?
I am building an iOS app with the App ID: com.echo.eyes.app
I have a paid Apple Developer membership and have followed all correct procedures, including:
Adding com.apple.developer.speech-recognition manually to the App.entitlements file
Setting Info.plist keys for microphone and speech permissions
Assigning my Apple Developer Team to the project
Setting App/App.entitlements under Code Signing Entitlements
Despite all this, Xcode automatic signing fails, and I receive the error:
vbnet
Copy
Edit
Provisioning profile 'iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.echo.eyes.app' doesn't include the com.apple.developer.speech-recognition entitlement.
I am unable to add the entitlement via the Capabilities section, and no method I try will allow provisioning to succeed.
Please update this App ID to include the required entitlement in the provisioning profile. This issue is preventing all voice recognition functionality.
Thank you.
Hi there,
I am trying to create my first iOS app using Visual Studio (Win 11) and .NET MAUI.
I created a developer account and if I want to start the debugger with my local device, VS forces me to Configure Automatic Provisioning. I can select my configured account but the operation fails (see screenshot).
I have no idea what is going wrong and I cannot find any setting in the developer account to fix this problem. Can anyone help me out, what is wrong and how to fix, thx!

Hi Team,
I’ve tried downloading the EnableBluetoothCentralMatterClientDeveloperMode.mobileconfig certificate from multiple sources, but all the links I found point to expired versions.
Could you please help me with the URL to the latest version of this certificate?
Here are the links I’ve already tried, but none of them worked:

Looking forward to your support.
