It appears that even on iOS 18 beta 4, the deployment of a share extension target to a physical device is broken. Has anyone seen the message, "The specified capability is not supported by this device"? Just a basic iOS app, no logic defined at this point. It builds fine. The main target gets deployed fine, only when attempting to deploy the share extension do I see this message. Works fine on a simulator, just not on physical device. iOS 18 beta 4, Xcode 16 beta 4 and MacOS 15 beta.
iOS 18 beta - Share Extension
I've not had any issues with share extension in any of the 18 beta versions.
"The main target gets deployed fine, only when attempting to deploy the share extension" I don't understand what this means, what do you mean when you say the share extension is deployed separately from its app?
Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report, include a sample project and a sysdiagnose, and post the FB number here once you do. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report.

Thank you for your quick response. There is the main app that gets deployed first, followed by the share extension app when testing. It is this share extension app that now fails to get deployed to the physical device. The apps that I've previously deployed to my device, continue to work, only the new apps or updated share extension apps fail to deploy to the device.
