I have a macOS app running on macOS 14 and above. I have added some NSMenuItems to the main menu in the Storyboard. How do I add icons to these menu items so that they appear only in macOS 26?

In the last three betas of Xcode 26, opening XIB files that rely on the older struts-and-springs setup (rather than Auto Layout) has exposed a new problem: Xcode 26 ignore the difference between a view’s frame and alignment rectangle. If you had arranged views using their frame rectangle (the default for the old method) this causes two problems: All UI widgets are both larger and no longer aligned. Switching between frame and alignment rectangles while configuring any NSView (through the inspector setting) has no effect. Is anyone else seeing this? It’s one thing to convert a few smaller views to Auto-layout (its reliance on alignment rectangles makes it immune to the "death" of frame rectangle-based layout) it is a rather different task to re-layout thousands of UI widgets as a result of this one bug.

Hi Apple Developer Team, I'm encountering a regression in iOS 18 related to the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature when using custom views. In previous versions of iOS (up to iOS 17), it's possible to show a custom UIView inside the PiP window — for example, a UILabel, UITableView, or other standard UI elements. This works well even when switching between apps. However, in iOS 18 (tested on the developer beta), there's an issue: If App A starts PiP mode and displays a custom view, and then the user switches to App B and starts a video call (e.g., using FaceTime or another VoIP app), all the custom views in the PiP window suddenly disappear. The PiP window itself remains, but its contents are empty. This behavior did not occur in earlier iOS versions. Steps to reproduce: In App A, start Picture-in-Picture with a custom UIView added to the PiP window. Switch to App B and initiate a video call (e.g., FaceTime). Observe the PiP window — the custom view is no longer visible. This issue breaks UI functionality that previously worked and may impact apps that rely on interactive or dynamic content in PiP. Is this a known issue in iOS 18, or is this behavior change intentional? Any suggested workarounds or updates? Thanks in advance for your support.

Since many users like me use Apple Music on Android, the app is almost as feature-rich as iOS. It would be fantastic if the developers could add the new iOS 26 features to the Android app, along with a minor UI change. I know it’s challenging to implement liquid glass on Android hardware or design, but features like auto-mix, pronunciation, and translation could be added. kindly consider this request !!!!

I'm trying to update one of my apps to the new Liquid Glass effects using Xcode 26. Came across a weird issue in that I reproduced in an empty project on its own with a storyboard with a single segmented control on the initial viewController I have a UISegmentedControl with 3 options. If I click index 2, while index 0 is selected, everything works as normal However if I select index 1, and then index 2, it jumps back to index 0 instead of selecting 2. All the events fire as though I tapped index 0

I'm running into a persistent problem with the iOS 18.5 simulator in Xcode 26 beta 2. I have built a very simple test app with a storyboard that includes only a toolbar added to the ViewController scene in the storyboard. The test app runs fine in iOS 26 simulators.When I try to run it in the iOS 18.5 simulator for iPhone Pro or iPad (16), it fails while unarchiving the storyboard (as far as I can tell) with this error message in the Xcode console: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException', reason: 'Could not instantiate class named TtGC5UIKit17UICoreHostingViewVCS_21ToolbarVisualProvider8RootView because no class named TtGC5UIKit17UICoreHostingViewVCS_21ToolbarVisualProvider8RootView was found; the class needs to be defined in source code or linked in from a library (ensure the class is part of the correct target)' terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException CoreSimulator 1043 - Device: iPad (A16) (3E70E25F-8434-4541-960D-1B58EB4037F3) - Runtime: iOS 18.5 (22F77) - DeviceType: iPad (A16) I'd love a simple workaround for this.

On several different XIBs I get a compiler error like Internal error. Please file a bug at feedbackassistant.apple.com and attach "/var/folders/1v/ 516am8h11fzbmdy9sh r1znh0000an/T/|B-adent-diagnostics 2025-06-30 15-02-36 468000" W These XIBs were unmodified, the only different was the Xcode version they were compiled against. Any suggestions for a fix, workaround, or troubleshooting? I tried restarting Xcode, restarting macOS, cleaning the build, and deleting derived data.

Hi everyone, I’m new to macOS development and working on an app idea that needs a timeline-based editor interface, similar to what you see in Logic Pro or Final Cut. The UI I want to build would have: A horizontal beat ruler that follows BPM and shows beat positions Several vertical tracks stacked below it (for things like events or markers) Horizontal zooming and scrolling A preview panel on the right side that stays in sync with the timeline I’m currently trying this in SwiftUI, but I’m running into some limitations and wondering if AppKit would be a better fit, or maybe a hybrid of the two. My questions: Where should I start when building something like this? What’s the best way to make the beat ruler and all track layers scroll together? How should I handle zooming in/out and syncing the display to a BPM timeline? Is there a clean way to integrate AppKit for the timeline view while keeping SwiftUI elsewhere?

Hello Apple Developers i am here write down my experience with the IOS 26 Beta first off i would like to say that i kind of do/don't like the new iquid glass UI/UIX Designs in some parrts of the ios like in m ust 3rd Party Apps like Uber Lyrith MJ Access Link Moblie app DoorDash VLC And Apple Music App just to name of few since i have installed the beta i have ran into a few bugs i have alread sent to the feeback app via iphone but i'm going to write them here as will i'm not looking for troubleshoots or tech support i'm just shareing my experience with the apple community and the Apple Development/Enginer Team to fine tone for release Time please note that i am a user with Vision impairment so please by respect to me due to my writteing issues and grammer and spelling so here i go my first bug that i ran into on the first day was when i was listening to some music trakcs in the apple muisc app when scrolling down or up fast the app will froze for mill secend then contiune as noraml my second bug that i ran into dureing music play was with my Crossfade settings not working on some tracks im not sure if this is due to BMP alignment or AI algorithm integration with in the software itseif but for me this takes me out of the listening experince that i have when i enjoy listening to music My suggestion Move the AutoMix and Crossfade Settings in to the Apple Music its seif and give the user more controll over how long or how short they want the crossfade or autmix to happen dureing the ending of each tracked play also for the cross fade option is set at 12 increase this to 30 secs or more if possiable or add an BPM options for the Automix to mix in the next track via BMP for simple of my rock track is at 148 BMP the next track should be pop or kpop or rap synceing up with that same BMP speed or similar at 148 BMP my next suggestion for the Apple Music App Shameless track mode (this mode to can be Incorporated) in to the Automix Featrue this redue some music tracks that ends abruptly some MP3 tracks added outside of the Apple Music App seems to broke dureing playback My 3rd bug that i ran in to with the Glass UI for controll Center like i stated before i am Vision impaired with the clear Glass over lapping the current UI for me this hard for me to tell what icons i am looking atside from the Voolum and Brightness Bars i am asking please make this more dark theme and make the icons brigher or add name undernearth the icons or Flip the Dark them or dan the current UI over lapping the Controlor center or add White colors with Black Arrows/icons for all Apple App that has this Glass UI in side of cause this is driving me nuts My 4th Bug that i ran into was with the lock screen/restart/reboot ohh girl where do i began with this one let's with the notifications i don't know who through it was a good idea to have a Clear Bright UI over lapping the Notifications this is very annoying via imessage Texting cause my custom wallpaper Blends in with a white background and this is Worst My suggestion for this is very simple darkering the background on the lock screen abit more so the text is more reader or increase the Notification bars (this is for users like myseif that use Dark mode) My 5th Bug involves my Back ups/Restore/Corrupated < is seif explanatory when i tryed to downgrand back to Version 18.5/18.6 nothing happened so please fix this or make it a bit more easyer for users to be able to back up/Retore their Devices now i has to wait until (Tomttow morning Friday) to factory reset my phone my conclusion since Beta Users and Developers and Engiers are Still testing please take look at my suggestion and try to bring not all but some of them in to public Release Thank You! Update i would like to Downgrad from IOS 26 Developer Beta back to IOS 18.5

I noticed that the "Show Library" button in interface builder is missing. How do we add view elements? Is there a new feature I'm not aware of?

Maybe it's just me but I can't find the attribute inspector anywhere. I have clicked, searched and tried everything I can think of. I love the new Xcode, but this has me dumbfounded.

I have used the following code for years to add a right bar button item to the navigation bar, but for some unknown reason, this no longer works. It stopped working when I updated my app to have Scene support. I don't understand what is preventing this code from working. @interface ViewController () @end @implementation ViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. NSLog(@"viewDidLoad"); // Add a Share Button UIBarButtonItem *shareButton; shareButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAction target:self action:@selector(editProject:)]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = shareButton; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor]; } -(void) editProject:(id)sender { } @end To test this, I created a brand new test app that does nothing except for attempting to add this button. The autogenerated code gives you the following project and I simply modified the ViewController class as shown above: What do I need to do differently to make the right bar button item to display? I know that I can add buttons using the storyboard that can be controlled via IBOutlets, but just want to know if its still possible to do this programmatically.

Xcode 16 insists on showing deprecations of this type: Some.xib SF Symbol 'doc.on.doc' is deprecated, use 'document.on.document' instead. The problem is that the XIBs in question are set with a Deployment Target of macOS 12, where "document.on.document" actually isn't available and produces a missing image. So the warnings are wrong, as they ignore the deployment target set on the XIB. I filed a bug against this long ago and it was ignored. Having given up... does anyone know how to disable this particular warning?

Has anyone used the Xcode AI coding assistant called CodeNext? It is a free tool and can be downloaded at codenext.ai. It autocompletes code, has a chat function, and can use any AI model which is a cool feature. Curious to know your thoughts and what other tools you've used.

When you click the button in the background of three horizontal lines, when the view is about to appear, add buried event statistics, but click the button to close it, it will repeat the view will appear method API, equivalent to the view method repeated execution twice, resulting in incorrect buried event statistics

Hi, I'm developing an app and after I change the app icon it's appear this error. Why? Previously I noticed, and it still does, that in the app settings it does not keep the LauncScreen.storyboard. In the drop-down menu it appears but as soon as I change screen it loses it. I don't know what to do.... Thanks!

Hi all, I'm facing the issue that cannot build app in Xcode 16 Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code Please help to fix the issue, there is any reference how to resolve the error.

iOS 18.2 (22C152) My phone is currently on lockdown mode and I have gotten alerts from Experian that my information is on the dark web as well as having to reset all my accounts. However this has not fixed the issue. Even if I hard factory reset settings etc the root makes its way very shortly after, if not immediately. Though I recently got these notifications and purchased the phone in Feb. 2024 the has been an ongoing issue for a few years. I can elaborate if needed. To make it short I have a reinstalled root on my phone. Apple nor Spectrum (who I have my phone with) have been able to assist with this issue. I have been able to clarify this ”hijacking” with the Geek Squad who didn’t want their legal team involved when asking for a report so the PD can do an internal cyber investigation. So, I’ve just lived with it. Let me know what your thoughts to resolve this issue would be before spending thousands to find a resolution on my own. Side note before asked: what I’ve been told may be it’s ”gateway” is via “DNS hijacking” with WiFi or internally hotspot. I can also elaborate if needed-I’m not a web developer, however I do know where this issue stems from whom has their masters in such industry as well as 30 years experience. It’s annoying and inconvenient at this point and I’m looking for clarity, resolution and if no justice for the criminal then liability. thank you! please refrain from saying “APpLe CaNt bE hiJaCked“ ..

I encountered a problem when adding a new custom font in Xcode 16.1. After including the font and opening my XIB files, the interface preview became blank and the application seemed to experience a heavy load. To troubleshoot, I removed all custom fonts, and everything returned to normal functionality. However, even after reinstalling Xcode, the issue persisted when adding the font again. The XIB preview loaded correctly: The XIB preview turned blank and became unresponsive:

Could someone help me with a good direction on where or how could I fix for this crash from console log: Not able to open storyboard or XIB. Once opening them, Xcode is crashing. tried uninstalling the Xcode, couldn't fix even after deleting derived data and caches. ------------------------------------- Translated Report (Full Report Below) ------------------------------------- Incident Identifier: 7E6D64FF-D4E9-4E3A-A37A-BC5016316DCD CrashReporter Key: 4776E37C-4D3D-F705-40D5-8A96EE95C89A Hardware Model: Mac15,6 Process: IBAgent-iOS [31688] Path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Overlays/IBAgent-iOS Identifier: IBAgent-iOS Version: 16.0 (23506) Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Unspecified Parent Process: launchd_sim [31680] Coalition: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice.178E8D7E-176F-4B7F-8956-D26C5EF7323A [5165] Responsible Process: SimulatorTrampoline [1185] Date/Time: 2024-11-06 14:59:29.3079 +0530 Launch Time: 2024-11-06 14:59:28.9368 +0530 OS Version: macOS 15.1 (24B83) Release Type: User Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000102e1e19c Termination Reason: SIGNAL 5 Trace/BPT trap: 5 Terminating Process: exc handler [31688] Triggered by Thread: 0 Application Specific Information: Abort Cause 259 Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x102e1e19c _os_unfair_lock_recursive_abort + 36 1 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x102e19504 _os_unfair_lock_lock_slow + 304 2 libGSFont.dylib 0x19045ebb4 GSFontFileDescriptorForPath + 28 3 libFontParser.dylib 0x19047d714 TFileDescriptorContext::TFileDescriptorContext(char const*) + 216 4 libFontParser.dylib 0x19057c7e4 TFileDataReference::Map(char const*) + 36 5 libFontParser.dylib 0x19047d514 TFileDataReference::TFileDataReference(char const*) + 88 6 libFontParser.dylib 0x19057c934 TFileDataSurrogate::TFileDataSurrogate(char const*, timespec) + 152 7 libFontParser.dylib 0x1905cbaac TFont::CreateFontEntitiesForFile(char const*, timespec, bool, short, char const*) + 580 8 libFontParser.dylib 0x19047d1e0 FPFontCreateFontsWithPath + 200 9 CoreGraphics 0x18b612c54 create_private_data_array_with_path + 16 10 CoreGraphics 0x18b2cddd4 CGFontCreateFontsWithPath + 36 11 CoreGraphics 0x18b3389b0 CGFontCreateFontsWithURL + 680 12 libGSFont.dylib 0x190465518 AddFontsFromURLOrPath + 288 13 libGSFont.dylib 0x19045ffb4 RegisterURLAndCopyFaces + 168 14 libGSFont.dylib 0x19045fefc GSFontRegisterURL + 76 15 CoreText 0x181c5e0b8 _CTFontManagerRegisterActionFontsForURLs(__CFArray const*, CTFontManagerScope, bool, Action, __CFArray const**) + 396 16 IBCocoaTouchToolFoundation 0x10307e748 +[UIFont(IBCocoaTouchToolIntegration) ib_registerFontsAtURLs:] + 336 17 AssetCatalogFoundation 0x1033e1a88 __80-[IBMessageReceiveChannel deliverMessage:toTarget:withArguments:context:result:]_block_invoke + 196 18 AssetCatalogFoundation 0x1033e191c -[IBMessageReceiveChannel deliverMessage:toTarget:withArguments:context:result:] + 328 19 AssetCatalogFoundation 0x1033e14bc __88-[IBMessageReceiveChannel runBlockingReceiveLoopNotifyingQueue:notifyingTarget:context:]_block_invoke + 100 20 libdispatch.dylib 0x180178de0 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 21 libdispatch.dylib 0x180188bc8 _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke + 112 22 libdispatch.dylib 0x180178de0 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 23 libdispatch.dylib 0x180187c60 _dispatch_main_queue_drain + 1272 24 libdispatch.dylib 0x180187758 _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF + 40 25 CoreFoundation 0x18041b2dc __CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE__ + 12 26 CoreFoundation 0x180415838 __CFRunLoopRun + 1944 27 CoreFoundation 0x180414c24 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 552 28 Foundation 0x180f319c8 -[NSRunLoop(NSRunLoop) runMode:beforeDate:] + 208 29 AssetCatalogFoundation 0x1033bdc00 -[IBAbstractPlatformTool startServingReceiveChannel:] + 292 30 AssetCatalogFoundation 0x1033bddf4 -[IBAbstractPlatformTool startServingWriteDescriptor:readDescriptor:] + 96 31 AssetCatalogFoundation 0x1033be718 +[IBAbstractPlatformTool main] + 800 32 IBAgent-iOS 0x102b77930 main + 32 33 dyld_sim 0x102b89410 start_sim + 20 34 dyld 0x102c96274 start + 2840
