I wanted to take an old iPhone 11 Pro and downgrade from iOS 18 beta to iOS 17 for testing. I can download today (Sept 26) the restore image for the iPhone 11 Pro (and many others) but when I try to restore it (Finder Option click, select restore image), Apple rejects it (I guess they won't sign it). If find this to be a problem. There is no reason why an iPhone in developer mode can't be used for testing a release less than a few weeks after the next release comes out. Why do they have the restore images if you can't use them? Why is there no restore images for iOS 17.7?

I cannot open the Runner.xcworkspace on xcode even though i have tried everything (all ran with cleaned and not cleaned derived data) -i am running xcode on the latest version -tried deleting/installing again/updating pods more than enough times -tried opening from terminal/xcode/finder (all end up either opening Runner.xcodeproj or not opening at all) what are other options left to do ?

I'm trying to make an xcframework from my static library (SPM btw) with macros. My script doesn't work properly My SPM declaration of macros: // swift-tools-version: 5.9 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import CompilerPluginSupport import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "SomeMacr", platforms: [.macOS(.v10_15), .iOS(.v13), .tvOS(.v13), .macCatalyst(.v13)], products: [ .library( name: "SomeMacr", targets: ["SomeMacr"] ), .executable( name: "SomeMacrClient", targets: ["SomeMacrClient"] ) ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-syntax.git", from: "509.0.0") ], targets: [ .macro( name: "SomeMacrMacros", dependencies: [ .product(name: "SwiftSyntaxMacros", package: "swift-syntax"), .product(name: "SwiftCompilerPlugin", package: "swift-syntax") ] ), .target(name: "SomeMacr", dependencies: ["SomeMacrMacros"]), .executableTarget(name: "SomeMacrClient", dependencies: ["SomeMacr"]), .testTarget( name: "SomeMacrTests", dependencies: [ "SomeMacrMacros", .product(name: "SwiftSyntaxMacrosTestSupport", package: "swift-syntax") ] ) ] ) My .sh script: xcodebuild archive \ -scheme $1 \ -sdk iphoneos \ -archivePath "Products/archives/ios_devices.xcarchive" \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild archive \ -scheme $1 \ -sdk iphonesimulator \ -archivePath "Products/archives/ios_simulators.xcarchive" \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild archive \ -scheme $1 \ -sdk macosx \ -archivePath "Products/archives/macos.xcarchive" \ SKIP_INSTALL=NO \ BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES xcodebuild -create-xcframework \ -library Products/archives/ios_devices.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/lib$1.a \ -library Products/archives/ios_simulators.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/lib$1.a \ -library Products/archives/macos.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/lib$1.a \ -output Products/xc/$1.xcframework It requires destination (But in other tutorials, authors clearly shows, that after this script I will get an xcframework) xcodebuild: error: Building a Swift package requires that a destination is provided using the "-destination" option. The "-showdestinations" option can be used to list the available destinations But when I setup the destination it was compiled to exec file, which I don't mind how to include to another SPM package / or xcframework What am I doing wrong?

I bought a new iPhone 16, iOS18 (22A3354). Data is synced from the old device. The old device has a certificate under Settings - General - "VPN & Device Management". The iPhone16 device is not synced to the certificate. After I manually added it on my iPhone16, I didn't find the certificate in Settings - General - About - certificate trust settings. I tried restarting and reimporting, it still doesn't work. Erase the iPhone and re-import the certificate, which is successfully trusted. I tried another iPhone 15 device, upgraded to iOS18. After the certificate is imported, the certificate is successfully trusted. The problem seems to be related to data synchronization to iOS18 devices. Is this just a bug? Is there any solution?

Previously, it was possible to download the dSYM file from the App Store Connect account. However, Apple has recently discontinued this option. How can you obtain the necessary dSYM file for Firebase?

So I'm working on a large client app with lots of frameworks and modules which is is a mix of Xcode frameworks with 3rd party dependencies in CocoaPods and newer/converted SPM modules. Essentially CocoaPods is used to set the 3rd party dependencies on various Xcode frameworks, which also depend on each other via manual set dependencies, plus a bunch of SPM modules which are also manually added. It's a bit of a mess. The problem we encountered the other day started when I added a new protocol to one of the SPM modules. Nothing special about it, all types from Foundation and the app built and ran perfectly in simulator with a Debug build. However when we switched to building a Release build, it failed to link, logging an error indicating it could not resolve the new protocol in a number of the Xcode framework projects. The resolutions go like this: The Xcode app project has some manually added Xcode frameworks. Those frameworks have manually added dependencies on a second Xcode framework. That second framework has an SPM dependency on the module where my protocol lives. So Xcode App -> 1st Xcode framework -> 2nd Xcode framework -> SPM module. Now the 2nd Xcode framework directly uses my protocol from the SPM module. But the 1st Xcode framework neither uses or imports the SPM module. Yet the error we get when building for Release is that the 1st Framework is unable to resolve the protocol from the SPM module even though it's completely oblivious to it. My working theory is that something in the way a Release build works is insisting that when linking the 1st Xcode framework, it has to resolve the 2nd Xcode framework, which then has to resolve types from the SPM modules, but for some reason and only in a Release build, it's unable to. So our current workaround has been to add the SPM module as a dependency to all 1st level Xcode frameworks that have the 2nd Xcode framework as a dependency. That works because when linking the 1st Xcode framework, it has a direct reference to the module even though the code never imports anything from it. Does this should correct?

Every now and again, I see that Python 3.8 crashes. Now, I tried to get rid of all Python 3.8 interpreters on my system. But the crash log for this one gives a Path of /Users/USER/*/python3.8. What does that mean? That's not a real path on my filesystem. The crash is due to Python not finding a dylb it needs: Process: python3.8 [2946] Path: /Users/USER/*/python3.8 Identifier: python3.8 Version: ???

I don’t know if this Python was installed by Apple, or if I got via one of the dozens of SDKs I've installed over the years. VS Code has a way to search for Python interpreters, and I used that to delete all the old ones I could find. And I'm pretty sure macOS is on a more recent version.

I downloaded a program from Stanford University and am trying to get it to work on my iPhone. The program works on my computer, but when I try to upload it to the App Store, I get all sorts of errors. I am running Xcode 16 on a Max Studio. When I run the compiler, I get a message: “The iPhone needs to be prepared for development, and development services need to be enabled. Ensure that the device is unlocked.” I am confused by the term “unlocked.” Is the message referring to a lock by carrier or an on-device lock? How do I enable development services? -Merwyn

I am using two iPhone11 devices, having iOS v17.6.1 for automation testing using Seleniumv4.X-Appium v2.x. Today I updated the mac to Sequoia15 version which updated the XCode to v16. Just after this update, I could not able to run the previously running automation script. The console message is "org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent. Original error: xcodebuild failed with code 70. This usually indicates an issue with the local Xcode setup or WebDriverAgent project configuration or the driver-to-platform version mismatch."

Hi, I'm using the following command to extract information about the code coverage: xcrun xcresulttool get --format json --path /some/path/to/xcresult However, since Xcode 16 I get: Error: This command is deprecated and will be removed in a future release, --legacy flag is required to use it. But this message doesn't tell us what's the alternative to get the same result. Or are you just getting rid of useful functionality and there is no alternative?

I'm trying to use a custom SVG as a SF Symbol for a .accessoryInline complication on Apple Watch but it only appear on WatchOS 11. I even tried a fresh project and exported one of the symbols from SF Symbols app to eliminate error with custom symbol creation. On WatchOS 11 it shows correctly and colored, on WatchOS 10.5, no symbol at all. Am I missing some setting or something? Tried different Render As options for the symbol with no luck. For corner complication, it shows it fine (Series 10 is WatchOS 11 here) What is more weird in kinda shows that it's loading in comlication preview: Overall can't use any image for inline complication unless I do it like this: Image(uiImage: UIImage(named: "ImageName") ?? UIImage()) .resizable() Which can't be colored also

When I run my app on iOS 18, the following gets logged to the XCode console. error: Error reading commands from file lldbinit - file not found. I've never heard of that file before. What is it, why is it needed, why does the app (unbeknown to me) try to read from it, and why is it missing?

The GRDBInternal private framework that ships with iOS 18 might well create conflicts for apps that use the regular GRDB. The symptom is a hard crash whenever one performs a database access through a DatabaseWriter or DatabaseReader existential - an action that almost all GRDB-powered apps have been doing, for many years. I'm not sure how to write an efficient feedback about this concerning issue. https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/issues/1619

Hi, I want to delete an application from my device using xcrun devicectl command. I installed application using xcrun devicectl and I want to be able to delete it when I need but I cannot find proper arguments for command. Thank you!

I have started to make a Swift package to better organize my project, but I have noticed that when I try to use code from my package, some code will run much slower than when I use the same code in the project. How could this be solved? I have tried using @inlinable for functions, and it works for most functions, but some functions still fail to meet the performance standards that I see when I use the code in my project.
