I have an App that has working audio for most devices except for iOS18 + Air pods pro connected. Eventually I realized that this is due to the Audio Spatialization which is enabled by default. I found a information property list key called AVGameBypassSystemSpatialAudio which can be enabled to true AVGameBypassSystemSpatialAudio and now the audio works for 90% of the game. However my game has a .MP4 which when it is played will be paused when the air pods are connected and after force skipping the video the Spatialization is now enabled and the app no longer has audio. I checked through the logs and found this part mediaplaybackd <<<< FigFilePlayer >>>> itemfig_establishedStereoAudioSpatializationPreferenceForAsset: <0x53451c000|I/OWH.01>: Stereo Spatialization allowed by default due to asset containing video After this line I can see the Spatialization being enabled. Does anyone know how to disable this auto setting of stereo Spatialization by default?

M2 Max Macbook Pro When i click add package dependencies to add a package in xcode it crashes every time, no matter what i do. any recommendations to work around this?

We can see from App Store Connect under TestFlight tab on the overview that our build got X number of crashes. Problem is that these crashes are not found in Crash feedback tab or not from Xcode Organizer. This problem has been ongoing for us in multiple different app builds now. Is there any suggestions what might cause this problem and how to start solving this? I'm pretty confident that these crashes happen in our network extension (NEPacketTunnelProvider). Note - We have a lot of TestFlight users and to start asking them all separately manual logs from phone might not help us here. (Settings > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data). Also these crashes have not been reported to us by the users. I suspect that the reason is that the extension kicks automatically back up since we are running VPN there with on demand rules. Meaning that the users might not be able to notice the service crash or shut down because of the automatic restart. Thanks

I want to statically link xcframework as binaryTarget in Swift Package, but it is copied into the product as dynamic when the Xcode build. How to use xcframework in SwiftPackage and statically link it into iOS product? The Package.swift content and the project are: The WebP.xcframework is static: The Xcode Build Product's WebP.framework is dynamic:

I have downloaded the new Xcode beta, signed in with my ChatGPT account yet there is still no model available for me to select. I have reinstalled Xcode, logged in and out of the ChatGPT integration a dozen times, pressed every single button, but nothing seems to make a model appear? Am I stupid or am I missing something?

Hi, This maybe somewhat confusing, but please bear with me. I currently have an app in the App Store that supports iOS and tvOS. But the tvOS version was a separate app during the development process. I'd like to combine the iOS and tvOS app into one project so its easier to handle and keep track of internally. Can I upload the new Apple TV version to the same place where the current one is, or would I have to delete the current Apple TV version before uploading the newly combined version? I hope I made that clear enough :-) Thank you, Dan Uff

I have a XCFramework which contains slices for both arm64 and arm64e binaries, but some of my apps are only built for arm64. Prior to Xcode 26, this was not an issue, despite the binary in Frameworks folder still containing the arm64e slice. But now with Xcode 26 I get several errors when uploading to the Appstore: Validation failed Inconsistent arm64e support. The main bundle 'HackerNews.app' does not support arm64e. Verify that the all of the targets including [HackerNews.app/Frameworks/Sentry.framework] have consistent support for arm64e. (ID: 542eb011-2689-47fe-a5d5-d043342820a8) Validation failed Invalid architecture. The iOS 17.4 SDK or later is required for an arm64e slice. The bundle executable in “HackerNews.app/Frameworks/Sentry.framework” contains an arm64e slice with the iOS 17.2 SDK. (ID: 60f2cb75-e4be-4583-bebd-36d119275419) Is this intended behavior with Xcode 26?

Hi, I currently have an app that connect to an arduno via CoreBluetooth. However, the app no longer discovers the arduino when the operating system was upgraded to iOS 18.3.1, however on iOS version 17.6.1 the ardiuno was discoverable I was able to test this theory on two different phones each with different iOS versions. Why are my peripherals no longer being discovered with this update? and what is the solution?

I have this build error with Xcode 26 beta 2: var asset:AVURLAsset? func loadAsset() { let assetURL = URL.documentsDirectory .appendingPathComponent("sample.mov") asset = AVURLAsset(url: assetURL, options: [AVURLAssetPreferPreciseDurationAndTimingKey: true]) /*Error: Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation */ if let result = try? await asset?.load(.tracks, .isPlayable, .isComposable) { } } Is there an issue with try? in the new Swift compiler? Error: Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation

When I use Xcode to develop the apps, the connection to my own Apple Watch is failed. The simulator has been downloaded, but it still displayed"watchOS10.0 Not Installed". The developer options were opened, I click the"trust this computer" but it always display"Connecting to *** Apple Watch". My iPhone can be connected normally.

We are experiencing networking issues in our iOS application when it is built with Xcode 16 or later. Our app includes a video conferencing feature that works reliably when built with Xcode 15 or earlier — we can sustain hour-long video sessions without interruption. However, when the app is built using Xcode 16 or higher, network connections drop after 2–3 minutes during a session. This triggers an auto-reconnect, which succeeds, but the connection drops again after another 2–3 minutes. This loop continues indefinitely. Key Details: The issue only occurs in TestFlight builds. When running the app via Xcode debugger, the issue does not occur. The issue is consistently reproducible in TestFlight builds created with Xcode 16 or later. TestFlight builds created with Xcode 15 do not exhibit this issue. All the videoconferencing runs on C and C++ code What We’ve Tried: Reviewed Xcode 16+ release notes but found no relevant changes or deprecations. Verified app configuration and entitlements. Confirmed that no app-side changes occurred between the working and broken builds. Request: We’re seeking guidance on what changes in Xcode 16+ could be affecting networking behavior in release/TestFlight builds. Any insight into relevant build settings, compiler changes, or runtime behavior differences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

When I run the debug memory graph from Xcode I'm getting a set of system objects with warnings. Are there any tips on how to locate what might be causing these?

Hi everyone, does anyone also have the problem that e.g. the modifier .classEffect() does not work? it is not recognized, although I have the required versions and languages all up to date. I can't get any further, even ChatGPT was at the end of its wisdom 😬. maybe someone has the same problem and a solution for it. many thanks in advance

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

Hi, I am able to build my iOS app successfully, developed in objective-C with iOS 17.5 SDK and Xcode 15. Due to requirement of Appstore we are trying to build with iOS 18 SDK and Xcode 16. When building getting error in LAEnvironmentState.h file: a) "Property requires field to be named" b) "Expected member name or ';' after declaration specifiers" Same app when opening with Xcode 15 gets build without any issue. Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi guys, i have an issue with my app, i am able to view in app purchase products from my deployed hybrid app (Ionic 8 with Capacitor 7) IOS platform. My inapp products are displaying on real device os 18.5 but on simulators there are no products. Is there a bug or something. Simulators tested 16 Pro max iPad m4, and iPad 5th gen all 18.5 other versions below the products does show and on real device. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

I'm trying to evaluate if we can support AR navigation with MapKit. The feature is supposed to be available for users in US. I tried to run the sample on my iPhone: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/tracking-geographic-locations-in-ar?language=objc But I'm in a location that ARGeoTrackingConfiguration.checkAvailabilityWithCompletionHandler: always return false. I think ARGeoAnchor isn't supported in my location. I tried to use simulated locations by Adding a gpx file when launching the app. Enabling Xcode -> Debug -> Simulate Location -> New York, NY, US But the availability for ARGeoAnchor is still false. Is that possible for me to develop the ARGeoAnchor feature outside of the covered areas?

As far as I know, there was a time that you can capture GPU workload for opengles game app on iOS using Xcode. However, currently I'm using Xcode version 15.2 and iOS18，it seems the "capture GPU workload" button is always disabled when I'm trying to debug my game app which is using opengles api for graphics rendering no matter switchinng "GPU Frame Capture" to "OpenGL ES" or "Metal" or "Automatically" in the scheme. And I'm not able to capture GPU workload for my game on iOS. The only way to make the "capture GPU workload" button enabled is creating a new project using metal api for graphics rendering. But I don't want to change the graphics API, because it will cause a lot. Does Xcode still support capturing GPU workload for OpenGLES game app on iOS? If not, is there an alternative way?

Working with .xctestplan files reminds me very much of working with project files and nibs and storyboards back in the day 😅 It seems that they are non-deterministic. This means that every time we add a new test module or edit the inclusion rules at all the whole file is recomputed. But it doesn't have a fixed order so everything in the file changes. It makes it very difficult to see what has happened in PR reviews and causes conflicts any time anything is changed. TBH... because it isn't alphabetical, even just finding a particular test suite is difficult without changes. Are there any plans to bring this file format up to date with the likes of xcodeproj and xib files? It would help massively while working with source control in a larger team. Thanks
