On my MacBook Pro M4 with macOS 15.5 and Xcode 16.4, I have a simple SwiftUI-based WatchOS application consisting of a NavigationSplitView that displays a short List of items, and a detail view consisting of a TabView {...}.tabViewStyle(.verticalPage) that displays a fixed number of "pages" of detailed information about the selected list item. When I use XCTest UI Automation with XCUIApplication(), I am finding that I need to add a sleep(1) after every interaction, such as a .tap() or .swipeUp() before I can attempt any assertion such as XCTAssertGreaterThan(app.cells.count, 3) to ensure that the top level List of items is more than 3. All the added sleep(1) statements are making the tests very slow... It appears that the WatchOS implementation of UI Automation lacks the ability to wait until the UI event queue is idle. Am I the only one seeing this?

I am writing to report multiple issues encountered after updating to Xcode 26 Beta, which have significantly impacted my project's compilation and functionality. My project can run normally in Xcode16.3 version, Below are the specific problems, along with the steps I took to address them and the subsequent errors that arose: Symbol Not Found Error for _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb After updating to Xcode 26 Beta, my project failed to build with the error: "Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb." To resolve this, I removed the MobileCoreServices framework from the Build Settings, as it appeared to be related. However, this led to a new error, indicating that this change introduced further complications. Clang++ Error: No Such File or Directory 'OpenGLES' Following the resolution of the first issue, I encountered a new error: "iOS clang++: error: no such file or directory: 'OpenGLES'." To address this, I added the OpenGLES.framework to the Build Phases. While this resolved the clang++ error, it triggered additional errors, suggesting that the underlying issue persists or new dependencies are conflicting. Recurring XIB File Compilation Errors My project uses XIB files, and every time I attempt to compile and run, Xcode reports errors related to different XIB files. Notably, when I open the reported XIB file, no errors are displayed within the Interface Builder. After saving or inspecting the file, the compilation error temporarily disappears, only for another XIB file to trigger the same issue in the next build. This creates a repetitive cycle. I have confirmed this is not a caching issue, as I clean the build cache (Product > Clean Build Folder) before each run. If I skip cleaning the cache, the OpenGLES-related error (Issue 2) reappears, indicating potential interactions between these problems. These issues have made development with Xcode 26 Beta extremely challenging, as each attempted fix seems to introduce new errors, and the XIB issue creates a persistent loop. My setup includes: Xcode Version: 26.0 beta 2 (17A5241o) macOS Version:15.4.1 (24E263)

Our business is to scan the code to open App Clip, but then App Clip will appear in App Library and Siri Suggestions. This can be opened quickly, but the URL of the last scan will be included. This will cause a problem, for example: if the previous scan was code A, but the user does not scan code B when going to place B and directly opens it through App Library or Siri Suggestions, the code I get is still code A, so the result I want is that I want to know where it was opened from, and then if it is opened quickly, I will clear the URL and remind the user to scan the code again. Or if it is opened by quick opening, do not include the URL

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?

Running macOS 15.4.1, Simulator 16.0 (1042.1), various iOS devices (iPhone 16, iPad 13" M4) I log into iCloud and enable iCloud Drive. Running the Files app, I noticed that I can click on "flat" documents (PDF, JPEG, etc) and they work. However, when I click on "package" documents (e.g. represented by a directory behind the scenes), I get a normal download progress, but then an alert "The operation could not be completed. No such file or directory". This seems to happen with all package documents, e.g. Keynote documents or Reality Composer objcap documents. It does not happen on actual devices logged into the same account. I've tried completely deleting and rebuilding the simulator instances in question, with no success.

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?

My app has a Watch app companion, and a Widget. are this settings correct to distribute these to TestFlight and Apple Store ?

XCode 26 beta 2 is taking more than 20 seconds to start AVCaptureSession when AVCaptureVideoDataOutput and AVCaptureAudioDataOutput are added. The problem occurs only during debugging and is clearly seen with Cinematic Capture sample code by Apple. I am using iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26 beta 2 for reference.

how do we add google models, deepseek, or mistral into xcode 26 intelligence model providers ?

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue trying to use the new SpeechAnalyzer framework announced at WWDC 2025. ❯ My Setup: • macOS: Sequoia 15.5 (Build 26.0 / macOS Tahoe Beta 26.0) • Xcode: 26.0 beta 2 (17A5241o) • Deployment Target: macOS 26.0 • Toolchain: Clang 17.0.0 (Apple) ❯ Problem: Despite following all setup requirements: • Setting macOS 26 as the deployment target • Using the latest Xcode 26 beta 2 • Running the correct developer toolchain (xcode-select is pointing to Xcode-beta) I still get the error: No such module 'SpeechAnalyzer' Additionally: • The SpeechAnalyzer.framework does not appear under /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ • It is also not listed in the Link Binary with Libraries pane. ❯ What I’ve Tried: • Clean builds • Deleted DerivedData • Verified SDK installation paths • Reinstalled Xcode 26 beta 2 • find search for SpeechAnalyzer.framework returned nothing ❯ Request: Has anyone successfully used SpeechAnalyzer in Xcode 26 beta 2 on macOS Sequoia/Tahoe? Is there a separate SDK or seed profile required to access this framework? Would appreciate any guidance from Apple engineers or other beta testers. Thanks! — Lalit Lakhara

I tried dragging an apns file for a live activity into my simulator to begin a Live Activity. It didn't do anything. I didn't see it mentioned in the wwdc videos either. So I'm wondering if this experience is not yet developed, or maybe I'm doing something incorrectly?

Vision Pro or Vision Pro 2732x2048? Which one is larger? My iMac is very slow, so I wanted to use the smaller one.

Apple could not verify “iPad_Air_M2_26.0_23A5260n_Restore.ipsw” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. xCode 26 fails to download simulators. I downloaded from the apple developer site. When I double click I get the above message. I went to the System Settings > GateKeeper, and selected Open Anyway. This poped up a window with a button, Open in xCode-bata. Clicking the button does not appear to do anything. I can not use xcode without simulators.

Xcode 16.4, MacOS Sequoia 15.5 If I try to use a logger in an Xcode Playground e.g. import os import UIKit var logger = Logger(subsystem: "Loggertest", category: "") logger.info("Hello, world!") I get the following error error: Couldn't look up symbols: ___dso_handle ___dso_handle Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler. Its the logger.info ... that is causing the error. I have raised FB18214090 but there are no other reports. I would be grateful if some of you could verify if the Playground runs or errors on your system. A workaround, still using Logger, would be a great help. Thanks, Chris

After update to Xcode 16.3, any breakpoints stopped in simulator and device. The scheme is configured to Debug in Build Configurator.

Using Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e) Wanted to try out raw identifiers for Swift Testing tests, and while they work, syntax colorization is dreadful. Much less readable then just using a custom name with @Test. Feedback: FB18260756 Example with a raw identifier of some example test name:

Can we use Icon Composer to drive an app icon for iOS 26 apps today? I get errors uploading a build to TestFlight internal testing about missing App icon dimensions for an iOS 26 app.

I am a bit confused. My understanding previously was that a modulemap was required in order to have a bridging header be generated. Now it has come to my attention that a modulemap is both a build input and something you can put in the Modules folder of the built product if you so choose. I have tried reading the clang modulemap documentation, but am really struggling to connect most of what it says to the problem at hand. In a project I am working on, the generation of the modulemap file is quite problematic. The framework imports C++ libraries and itself writes Objective-C++ wrappers for them. Currently, the modulemap file is both set as the Module Map File in "Build Settings" and presumably used when the Swift project later imports it. In this project the modulemap is a list of the objective-c++ header files then export * I am trying to understand what I would lose if I do one or both of two things: What happens if I dont set this module map file in the build settings for the objective-c++ framework? What happens if I dont have a modulemap involved whatsoever in this objective-c++ framework and then it is imported into Swift? And does any of this change if its compiled as a static vs dynamic library? What if I embed it vs not embed it? Because the build in the real project is so complicated its hard to isolate what is going on. So I built a smaller sample app. There is CFramework which has an objective-c++ class. There is SwiftProject which imports that framework and is purely Swift. It imports the module and uses it. I did not write a modulemap file, and the Swift project builds just fine. In the timeline it: Prepares packages Computes target dependency graph Builds static cache for iPhoneSimulator18.2sdk As near as I can tell even though the objective-c++ framework is not built with a modulemap in its build settings and there is not a modulemap included in the framework everything works. So then the modulemap file is useless? Perhaps it speeds things up but what step would theoretically be skippable?

New betas of the platforms were released today (June 23), but I don't see any update for Xcode. Is there a way to get the Xcode 26 beta 1 to install the beta2 OSes for the simulator somehow? Or do we simply need to wait for an update?
