Hi There, I have been using my Mac Studio to complete some work in Python (which I normally do in Linux) and recently I got this error which has completely stopped all development as venvs will no longer work correctly: WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution ... (and then whichever apps are currently installed in the venv This occurs for me on every install of any version of Python installed using any of the standard methods (installer). I've tried all the main points of advice on knowledgeable forums, but the difference between Python on Sequoia and Python on Linux is enough such that I am at an end of my debugging knowledge. I've even attempted to blast away any System Python changes with a recovery reinstall, but the problem persists. I've done almost exactly the same setup on my MacBook Air and it is fine ... but the Studio is now unavailable for Python development. I know I have probably dropped the ball somewhere but can't see the error myself so, I'm wondering if I should just blast away everything on the machine and go through the process of doing a clean install. Asking the experts in MacOS here so I can avoid the pain of doing that!

When I try to invoke the tkinter module in Python 3 that is bundled with Xcode Developer Tools, I get a message saying that my system version is too low: $ /usr/bin/python3 -m tkinter macOS 26 (2602) or later required, have instead 16 (1602) ! zsh: abort /usr/bin/python3 -m tkinter It seems like the system version reported is macOS 16, which I assume is the version code before the decision to rename all OS platforms to 26. This is a very low level mistake and should be fixed as soon as possible.

Does anyone know if the resources .copy rule in a Swift .package file is supposed to recursively copy the full contents if it's pointed at a directory? The docs say… If you pass a directory path to the copy rule, the compiler retains the directory’s structure. …but you can interpret that in a few different ways. It also doesn’t appear to work if the directory you specify only contains directories.

I am implementing the FFT using vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform. According to the official documentation, the count parameter has requirements as outlined below: /// The `count` parameter must be: /// * For split-complex real-to-complex: `2ⁿ` or `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `3`, `5`, or `15` and `n >= 4`. /// * For split-complex complex-to-complex: `2ⁿ` or `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `3`, `5`, or `15` and `n >= 3`. /// * For interleaved: `f * 2ⁿ`, where `f` is `2`, `3`, `5`, `3x3`, `3x5`, or `5x5`, and `n>=2`. Despite adhering to these specifications in theory, my attempt to initialize an interleaved DFT with count = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 (equivalent to 5×5 × 2²) resulted in a failure. Below is the code snippet I used for the initialization: do { let dft = try vDSP.DiscreteFourierTransform( previous: nil, count: 2 * 2 * 5 * 5, direction: .forward, transformType: .complexReal, ofType: DSPComplex.self ) print(dft) } catch { print("DFT init failed:", error) } Could somebody more knowledgeable with these APIs have a look? Thanks!

Hello, Please see the test project at https://we.tl/t-aWAu7kk9lD I have a json array showing in Xcode debugger (from the line "print(dataString)"): Optional("[{\"id\":\"8e8tcssu4u2hn7a71tkveahjhn8xghqcfkwf1bzvtrw5nu0b89w\",\"name\":\"Test name 0\",\"country\":\"Test country 0\",\"type\":\"Test type 0\",\"situation\":\"Test situation 0\",\"timestamp\":\"1546848000\"},{\"id\":\"z69718a1a5z2y5czkwrhr1u37h7h768v05qr3pf1h4r4yrt5a68\",\"name\":\"Test name 1\",\"country\":\"Test country 1\",\"type\":\"Test type 1\",\"situation\":\"Test situation 1\",\"timestamp\":\"1741351615\"},{\"id\":\"fh974sv586nhyysbhg5nak444968h7hgcgh6yw0usbvcz9b0h69\",\"name\":\"Test name 2\",\"country\":\"Test country 2\",\"type\":\"Test type 2\",\"situation\":\"Test situation 2\",\"timestamp\":\"1741351603\"},{\"id\":\"347272052385993\",\"name\":\"Test name 3\",\"country\":\"Test country 3\",\"type\":\"Test type 3\",\"situation\":\"Test situation 3\",\"timestamp\":\"1741351557\"}]") But my JSON decoder is throwing a catch error Line 57, Error in JSON parsing typeMismatch(Swift.Dictionary<Swift.String, Any>, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Dictionary<String, Any> but found an array instead.", underlyingError: nil)) This is the code: let urlString = "https://www.notafunnyname.com/jsonmockup.php" let url = URL(string: urlString) guard url != nil else { return } let session = URLSession.shared let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in var dataString = String(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) print(dataString) if error == nil && data != nil { // Parse JSON let decoder = JSONDecoder() do { let newsFeed = try decoder.decode(NewsFeed.self, from: data!) print("line 51") print(newsFeed) print(error) } catch{ print("Line 57, Error in JSON parsing") print(error) } } } // Make the API Call dataTask.resume() } And this is my Codable file NewsFeed.swift: struct NewsFeed: Codable { var id: String var name: String var country: String var type: String var situation: String var timestamp: String } Please do you know how to resolve the typeMismatch error?

I ran into a problem, I have a recursive function in which Data type objects are temporarily created, because of this, the memory expands until the entire recursion ends. It would just be fixed using autoreleasepool, but it can't be used with async await, and I really don't want to rewrite the code for callbacks. Is there any option to use autoreleasepool with async await functions? (I Googled one option, that the Task already contains its own autoreleasepool, and if you do something like that, it should work, but it doesn't, the memory is still growing) func autoreleasepool&lt;Result&gt;(_ perform: @escaping () async throws -&gt; Result) async throws -&gt; Result { try await Task { try await perform() }.value }

I tried to build the project with Xcode 16.3 and I initially got an error that TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR does not exist, then I changed this flag to TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR, but it did not solve the problem

Hi, I'm trying to add Swift code to my Obj-C project. I've gone through all the tutorials and troubleshooting advice I can find online, no dice. I would appreciate any help, thank you so much in advance. I add a new swift file to my Obj-C project XCode offers to create a bridging header file for me, yes please New .swift file and .h file are added to my project no problem Header file shows up in build settings no problem I add a new class to my new swift file ("@objc class HelloPrinter: NSObject") When I build the app, nothing is generated in the bridging header file and the class is obviously inaccessible to my obj-c code Is this supposed to work? My understanding is that it's supposed to work. Somewhat concerning is the text that XCode puts in the bridging header file when it's created: "Use this file to import your target's public headers that you would like to expose to Swift." I don't want to use this bridging header file for anything. I want XCode to GENERATE STUFF in the bridging file. I also don't want to expose anything to Swift. I want the opposite to happen. So I don't get this text at all. Thanks in advance again.

Issue: During app execution, the intended method is not being called; instead, the method preceding (written above the intended method) is being executed. For Example: //In my case the ViewController class is at 3rd level of inheritance. class ViewController: UIViewController { func methodA() { print("methodA") } func methodB() { print("methodB") } } let vc = ViewController() vc.methodB() Output: //"methodA" Expected: //"methodB" Observations: Recent code changes have revealed that enabling the below Swift-6 flag leads to this linking issue. When this flag is commented out, the problem disappears. .enableUpcomingFeature("InternalImportsByDefault") Additionally, moving the intended method into an extension of the same class resolves the issue when the flag is enabled. Conclusion: To resolve the issue: Comment out the Swift-6 flag. Alternatively, move the method into an extension of the same class, which addresses the issue for this specific case. I had similar issue in other class where it crashes with message "method not found", but actually the method is there. When moving the method into an extension of same class resolve this issue. Any help is much appreciated. Thanking you..

I can't find a viable path to call StoreKit from C++ right now and would love some ideas. I'm implementing the code exactly as shown at 4:09 in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10172/ However when I add any StoreKit functionality in I immediately get "Actor isolated structure cannot be exposed in C++" This makes me think I can't create a StoreKit view and call it from C++? Am I missing a better way? I don't think I can have another structure that holds the storeChooser in it because it will have the same problem (I assume, although I will check). Part of the issue seems to be that my app is C++ so there is no main function called in the swift for me to open this view with either, I was going to use the present function Zoe described (as below). I've tried a lot of alternative approaches but it seems to be blocking async functions from showing in C++ as well. So I'm not sure how to access the basic product(for:) and purchase(product) functions. import Foundation import StoreKit import SwiftUI public struct storeChooser: View { public var productIDs: [String] public var fetchError: String //@State //Note this is from the UI @State public var products: [Product] = [] // @State private var isPresented = true // weak private var host: UIViewController? = nil public init() { productIDs = ["20_super_crystals_v1"] products = [] self.fetchError = "untried" } public var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text( "Products") ForEach(self.products) { product in Button { //dont do anything yet } label: { Text("\(product.displayPrice) - \(product.displayName)") } } }.task { do { try await self.loadProducts() } catch { print(error) } } } public func queryProducts() { Task { do { try await self.loadProducts() } catch { print(error) } } } public func getProduct1Name() -> String { if self.products.count > 0 { return self.products[0].displayName } else { return "empty" } } private func loadProducts() async throws { self.products = try await Product.products(for: self.productIDs) } /* public mutating func present(_ viewController: UIViewController) { isPresented = true; let host = UIHostingController(rootView: self) host.rootView.host = host viewController.present(host, animated: true) } */ }

What is the most obvious method of calling StoreKit from C++. I'm getting blocked by the fact that most of the critical StoreKit calls are async and functions marked a sync don't show up in the swift header for me to call from C++ (at least as far as I can tell). I'm trying to call let result = try await Product.products(for:productIDs) or let result = try await product.purchase() And C++ can't even see any functions I wrap these in as far as I can tell because i have to make them async. What am I missing? I tried a lot of alternates, like wrapping in Task { let result = try await Product.products(for:productIDs) } and it gives me 'Passing closure as a sending parameter' errors. Also when I try to call the same above code it gives me 'initializtion of immutable value never used' errors and the variables never appear. Code: struct storeChooser { public var productIDs: [String] public function checkProduct1 { Task { let result = try await Product.products(for: productIDs) } The above gives the initialization of immutable value skipped, and when I create a @State var products Then I get the 'passing closure as a sending parameter' error when i try to run it in a task it appears if I could make the function async and call it from C++ and have it return nothing it may work, does anyone know how to get C++ to see an async function in the -Swift.h file?

Hi all, In Swift, I often see static helper functions grouped in an enum without any cases, like this: enum StringUtils { static func camelCaseToSnakeCase(_ input: String) -> String { // implementation } } Since this enum has no cases, it cannot be instantiated – which is exactly the point. It’s meant to group related functionality without any stored state, and without the need for instantiation. This pattern avoids writing a struct with a private init() and makes the intent clearer: "This is just a static utility, not an object." You’ll often see this used for things like: AnalyticsEvents.track(_:) My question: Is this use of a case-less enum considered good practice in Swift when building static-only helpers? Or is there a better alternative for expressing intent and preventing instantiation? I’d appreciate any insight – especially if there’s official guidance or references from the Swift core team. Thanks!

We have FrameworkA which needs to use another FrameworkB internally to fetch a token. Now when I try to use this FrameworkA, we are seeing an issue with internal framework i.e. No such module 'FrameworkB'. But when I use @_implementationOnly import for the internal FrameworkB, I didn't see any issues. So just wanted to check If I can go ahead and use this @_implementationOnly import flag in Production?

Why doesn’t deinit support async? At the end of a test, I want to wipe data from HealthKit, and it’s delete function is asynchronous.

I’m creating an app using SwiftUI, and I would like to incorporate a small Java codebase that I created for the Android version of the app. Is there a way to package the Java code to work on iOS and macOS

i am trying to build my code and have ran into this error. "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'DispatchWorkItem' that does not accept a closure" i have been trying to figure it out for so long, and even ai cant figure it out. is this a bug, or am i missing some obvious way to fix this ? func loadUser(uid: String, completion: (() -&gt; Void)? = nil) { db.collection("users").document(uid).getDocument { [weak self] snapshot, error in guard let data = snapshot?.data(), error == nil else { completion?(); return } DispatchQueue.main.async { self?.currentUser = User( username: data["username"] as?

Last night my iPhone game crashed while running in debug mode on my iPhone. I just plugged it into my Mac, and was able to find the ips file. The stack trace shows the function in my app where it crashed, and then a couple of frames in libswiftCore.dylib before an assertion failure. My question is - I've got absolutely no idea what the assertion failure actually was, all I have is... 0 libswiftCore.dylib 0x1921412a0 closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 228 1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x192141178 closure #1 in closure #1 in _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 327 2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x192140b4c _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 183 3 MyGame.debug.dylib 0x104e52818 SentryBrain.takeTurn(actor:) + 1240 ... How do I figure out what the assertion failure was that triggered the crash? How do I figure out what line of code in takeTurn(...) triggered the failing assertion failure?

I've been testing my open source libraries with Swift 6.2 and the new Default Actor Isolation concurrency build setting set to MainActor (with Complete strict concurrency turned on). My library Destinations uses protocols extensively, often applying conformance to foundational Swift protocols like Hashable and Identifiable. Many of these basic protocols are not flagged as running on the @MainActor in Beta 1, leading to situations like this: Given this example code: public protocol Contentable: Identifiable { var id: UUID { get } } final class ContentModel: Contentable { let id: UUID = UUID() } I get the warning: Multiline Conformance of 'ContentModel' to protocol 'Contentable' crosses into main actor-isolated code and can cause data races; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode The fix it suggests is to put a @MainActor before the Contentable protocol declaration in ContentModel, which seems to be a new attribute configuration in Swift 6.2. This solves the warning, but would create a lot of extra noise across the codebase. Was it an oversight or a temporary omission that protocols like Hashable and Identifiable do not run on @MainActor by default, or is there some other reason they are excluded? Considering how often protocols in our code may conform to foundational protocols like this, it seems at odds to the MainActor mode of the Default Actor Isolation setting given that it was created to make concurrency easier and less boilerplate to implement.

Hi, I’m trying to use the new InlineArray type, but noticed that it is unfortunately only available on macOS 26 and not on macOS 15 and others. As this is quite an essential type, I was wondering if this is intended or will this change in later beta’s? Not having it available on older Darwin platforms would severily limit it’s usage in the coming years. Thanks!

I was trying to evaulate let myTuple = ("blue", false) let otherTuple = ("blue", true) if myTuple &lt; otherTuple { print("yes it evaluates") } Ans I got /tmp/S9jAk7P7KW/main.swift:5:12: error: binary operator '&lt;' cannot be applied to two '(String, Bool)' operands if myTuple &lt; otherTuple { My question is why there is no compile time issue in first place where the declaration is let myTuple = ("blue", false) ~~~~~~ something like above
