I have an XCTest unit test that's running in an iOS host but with the My Mac (Designed For iPad) Target.
Enabling mergeable libraries causes two errors:
Symbol not found: _$s10Foundation3URLV9RVAPIPackE8isGCSURLSbvg
And "loading failed because of an error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3588" for the Test bundle because one of the frameworks that's supposed to be merged couldn't be loaded.
Disabling mergeable libraries fixes it. It also works with mergeable libraries enabled but with a regular simulator target. So not sure if I'm missing something or if I need to disable mergeable libraries now:/

I try to do unit test for an ES system extension's code using Unit Testing Bundle.
the code tries to get NSEndpointSecurityMachServiceName in info.plist by [bundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:] but failed.
I have added NSEndpointSecurityMachService to info.plist of Test Bundle, and I did check info.plist file in bundle, NSEndpointSecurityMachServiceName was listed there.
When running Unit tests on my project, I get an error:
Error while reading test baseline file: "The file “05ACE933-24F8-449B-9949-77312B3070BC.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." at path: "/private/var/folders/qy/g9s46vp88xggk_001s62kxb00000gn/X/54A3BAF3-89F8-52E2-8575-47176446C08E/d/Wrapper/MyApp.app/PlugIns/MyAppTests.xctest/xcbaselines/05ACE933-24F8-449B-9949-77312B3070BC.plist"
This happened after a rebase / merge, so I must have accidentally deleted a file from the repository.
This only seems to happen on the 'My Mac (Designed for iPad) device. When I run the unit tests on my iPhone, all seems to be well.
How can I either remove the reference to the missing file, or reset the baselines in the project?
Kind regards,
Wouter Wessels
In Xcode Version 16.1
Create a new Project, choose Multiplatform, App
For testing system, choose XCTest and UI Tests
In the project, open the newly generated template Unit test file
Click either of the diamonds in the left margin (either to run the example test or the entire file)
Expected Result: Code compiles and then Runs the test/tests
Actual Result: Code compiles, but then never completes testing (the top status bar is stuck saying "Testing..." forever.)
Am I missing something?
Hi,
I have recently noticed a very-very annoying thing in my CI pipeline, that I managed to reproduce locally.
Using macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 and Xcode 15.4, running a test target from Terminal, the first run produces this output:
$ xcodebuild test -workspace [redacted].xcworkspace -scheme [redacted] -quiet
--- xcodebuild: WARNING: Using the first of multiple matching destinations:
{ platform:macOS, arch:arm64, id:[redacted], name:My Mac }
{ platform:macOS, arch:x86_64, id:[redacted], name:My Mac }
{ platform:macOS, name:Any Mac }
Testing started
Test suite '[redacted]' started on 'My Mac - [redacted] (75944)'
Test case '[redacted].[redacted]()' passed on 'My Mac - [redacted] (75944)' (0.001 seconds)

2024-11-29 19:31:02.311 xcodebuild[75908:47784216] [MT] IDETestOperationsObserverDebug: 1.380 elapsed -- Testing started completed.
2024-11-29 19:31:02.311 xcodebuild[75908:47784216] [MT] IDETestOperationsObserverDebug: 0.000 sec, +0.000 sec -- start

so the test actually completes, but the process does not end, because I get a popup that
“Terminal.app” would like to access data from other apps.
Removing the "App Sandbox" entitlement immediately alleviates this problem, but it would be very silly to do so because of unit tests.
This ultimately means that whenever we use a new device or include a new project or test target, this popup comes up. Very undesirable for CI servers (especially if the servers are ephemeral virtual machines created for the current job).
Is there a permanent solution that disables this popup for test runs?
Sorry if this question is too vague, however I've tried this multiple times and see the same result. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what.
I have a Multiplatform (iOS and macOS) project that builds, and runs
I add a new target of type Unit Test Bundle
I click the diamond in the margin beside the XCTestCase declaration at the top of the new Test file
The target project builds, then Xcode says 'Testing...' and it stays like this forever.
I've also tried creating a new scheme that targets the target created in the above steps. attempting to run my tests behaves the same. The top status bar will get stuck saying 'Testing...' and never get anywhere.
I'm pretty sure this is something basic.
thanks, in advance for any guidance.

I'm trying to run an xctest bundle, built for catalyst, with xcrun.
i.e.
xcrun xctest path_to_my_test.xctest
It fails, complaining that:
The bundle "MyBundle" couldn't be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources. Try reinstalling the bundle.....but incompatible platform (have 'MacCatalyst', need 'macOS')
So it seems like because I'm not executing it in a sim it wants the bundle to be a macOS bundle. But I would have thought it would be possible to run a Mac Catalyst target directly on a macOS host the same as a native macOS test target. Is this not possible?
Our use case is that we need to run a CLI script (on Mac) to set up backend configuration before each test case (UI test on real iOS device). The setup logic is test specific, so using pre-build scripts is not an option.
Is this support in any way or what are best practices around such a setup?
Ideally, we would still be able to execute the tests from within Xcode.
Our use case is that we need to run a CLI script (on Mac) to set up some backend configuration for a UITest that then runs on iOS (simulator or actual device). The setup logic is test specific so using pre-build scripts is not a an option. Is that support in any way or what would be alternatives to go about this.
Hello,
I am using Xcode 16.1 (16B40) on MacOS Sequoia 15.1.0 using a Macbook pro M1 Max
I am developing an app for iOS 17 and 18 using SwiftUI
I created UITests to take the screenshots for the appStore on the simulator
The tests run well and all of them are succeded
The problem appears when I try to get the screenshot files from the xcresult files after the test. There is not any screenshot inside it.
I found a data folder and a Info.plist file. In the data folder there are a lot of files with this pattern data.03zD4C6IGFFthK14NwA8mNvcwFHT16g6Tl40Tl1YmBC1bNh6d0YIcnWKyUaQPDXoa8fYo6C3Xcv8xvMtE3_NEXA== and other files with this pattern refs.03zD4C6IGFFthK14NwA8mNvcwFHT16g6Tl40Tl1YmBC1bNh6d0YIcnWKyUaQPDXoa8fYo6C3Xcv8xvMtE3_NEXA==
Ok, I tryed to use fastlane to automatize the screenshots but the problem is still present. The xcresult files have not any png file.
I had no problems doing this action (getting screenshots from a xcresult file) in previous versions of MacOS and Xcode in my current machine.
I just updated my machine to MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 and the problem is still present
Honestly I don't know how to fix this situation.
With Xcode 15 I had not any problem with that but I am not sure if Xcode 16.0 was runing without problems because I didn't need to use this functionality in those months
Here is my code for a UITest:

I made tests with old projects in my machine and those projects have the same problem with screenshot files in the xcresult bundles
I don't know if the problem is in my machine, my Xcode, MacOS or other ting. I don't know how to fix this problem
Please, can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
We have been trying to migrate screens that were developed using UITool Kit to SwiftUI. In the process we have some screens that have SwiftUI embedded inside the UITool kit view. Our developers have defined accessibility ids for all elements in these views and these are inspectable using the native iOS xcode inspector. However when i try inspecting it with the appium inspector i get an empty list with no elements in the hierarchy tree. Attaching a screenshot of the element when inspecting through the native xcode accessibility inspector,
Attaching a screenshot of the same screen when inspected through the appium inspector,
Also tried printing the XCTest UI dump using appium method,
`driver().executeScript("mobile:source", Map.ofEntries(Map.entry("format","description")))
The UI tree i get is the same that i get when inspecting through the appium inspector.
Requesting support from the Apple team based on this ticket, [https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/20759)
While I was recently profiling some code from a Swift library, I noticed that XCTest added in signposts for the measurement tests, which I found really helpful to "home in" on the code I wanted to profile digging around in the stack trace.
I tried to add my own signposts to provide just a bit of my own markers in there, but while it compiles and profiles equivalently, the signposts just aren't showing up. This is with Xcode 16.1, macOS Sequoia (15.1) and a swift library, using XCTest and profiling within one of the unit tests.
Is there something in this sequence that doesn't allow the library to set up signposts and have instruments collect them?
The flow I'm using:
import os
let subsystem = "MyLibrary"
class MyClass {
let logger: Logger = .init(subsystem: subsystem, category: "fastloop")
let signposter: OSSignposter
init() {
signposter = OSSignposter(logger: logger)
}
func goFast() {
let signpostId = signposter.makeSignpostID()
let state = signposter.beginInterval("tick", id: signpostId)
// ... do a bunch of work here - all synchronous
signposter.endInterval("tick", state)
}
}
Is there something I'm doing incorrectly in using this API, or not enabling to allow those signposts to be collected by the profiler?
I do see the signposts that XCTests injects into the system, just not any of the ones I'm creating.
In WWDC23: Fix failures faster with Xcode test reports, the presenter showed off an Xcode feature called Automation Explorer, that allows playback of a screen recording corresponding to an XCUITest.
For the life of me, I have not been able to find out how to enable/use this feature in Xcode 16. I am using Test Plans and have set the UI Testing configuration settings for Automatic Screen Capture to On, and keep all and Preferred Capture Format to Video, but am not seeing any screen recordings being produced after running the tests. Am I doing something wrong?
I have different versions of my iOS App (written in SwiftUI). The app on the store, the App Clip, and one or two next version apps not yet released (e.g. A/B comparison). All good. But now I've started creating UI and Unit tests and I'm confused about how to get this working.
Each build target has its own scheme. And in that scheme I have a Test plan for that target. E.g. The App Clip scheme has an App Clip test plan.
Since all the app variants are very similar, I only have one set of unit tests and one set of UI tests so each test plan includes the same unit test target and the UI test target.
Problem: When I selected a scheme (e.g. for the App Clip) and ran the tests, it turned out that all the tests ran for another build target, not the target of the scheme. I think this might be because within the definition of the test target there's a field specifying the host application. I.e. the build target.
Question: How can I set up my project so that the test plan uses the relevant target build?
Or do I have to duplicate all the test targets (one for each target)?
Or do I have to manually change each test target before running it for a particular build target?
Hello team,
We recently found a EXC_BAD_ACCESS crash when using UIHostingControllers on a SPM local Package in our application. This is happening from time to time when we run the app on simulators using Debug configurations.
Also, this issue is consistent when we run application tests, there is something weird that we found after making a research... If we disable app test target and only keep packages tests, the crash is not happening, but as soon as we re-enable the app test target from the test suite the crash returns.
This is the full error message:
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xbad4017) A bad access to memory terminated the process.
Is this s known issue? We've been performing explorations for some days and couldn't find any real solution for this.
A basic call on UIHostingController inside of a SPM local Package is enough to make the app crash, nothing custom being done:
UIHostingController(rootView: MyView())
I have a need to do a coverage test for the networkextension function code implemented by the system extension, but I don't know how to implement this method.
For example, how do you use gtest or how do you use xctest to achieve these capabilities?
If you know, please let me know. Thanks
We develop and test App for macOS. We start to see system alert - "UlTests-Runner" would like to access data from other apps on each UITest run.
Our test suite does cleanup of files generated by App so we need access outside of UITests-Runner sandbox.
We enabled Full Disk Access for UITests-Runner at Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access but unfortunately still see this alert.
Is there any way to permanently remove/hide this alert or remove sandbox for 'UITests-Runner' since we want to run tests on CI and having this alert is not an option?
Note: everything works fine on previous versions of macOS.
Environment:
macOS - 15.1 (24B83)
Xcode - Version 16.1 (16B40)
Hello! 👋
We are seeing a bug on macOS Sequoia related to the test running.
When attempting to run tests, the iOS simulator becomes stuck indefinitely. This can occur whether we run tests for a specific module, all unit tests, or even a single test.
We narrowed down the issue and is due to the OS failing to copy some named pipes (FIFO). For example:
db.realm.note
db.realm.management/access_control.new_commit.cv
db.realm.management/access_control.pick_writer.cv
We saw in the CoreSimulator log file the following error:
NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 ""access_control.new_commit.cv" couldn't be copied
The copy fails and then a new clone of the simulator is created retrying the process. And this goes on and on.
What is happening?
When running the tests for the iOS app on the simulator, under the hood, the OS tries to clone the simulator device.
A list of folders is created, including one Shared/AppGroup. Under the AppGroup folder, the list of multiple UDIDs corresponds to the specific App Group containers created for individual app targets or extensions that are sharing data within that App Group.
One of these folders contains the Realm DB files. There are a few files called named pipes which are invisible in Finder (even if you have hidden files to true). You need to list them with ls -l.
So, when we select the test target and run the tests, the OS clones the permanent simulator and copies all files from its folders. All files are being copied except those pipes.
When the OS attempts to copy the pipes, the operation fails with the error Code=512.
Reproduction Steps
Run the iOS app on a simulator (e.g. iPhone SE 3rd gen. with iOS 18.1).
Quit Xcode and the iOS simulator.
Reopen Xcode.
Select a test target to run.
Select the same simulator you previously ran the iOS app.
Run the tests (CMD + U).
The simulator is now stuck.
Are there any workarounds available?
Yes. We found that running the tests works if we first “Erase All Content and Settings” from the simulator.
Another workaround is to remove all simulators and reinstall the iOS runtimes. This prevents the issue for a longer period (almost a full day), but eventually, the problem reoccurs.
Alternatively, we can delete the named pipes from the App Groups directory before running the tests.
Have we tried to give full disk permissions?
Yes, we tried to give full disk permissions to a lot of things (Xcode, simulator, file paths, directories, etc.) but with no luck. We still get the same error.
Is the issue happening on a specific version of Xcode?
No, it happens for multiple Xcode versions:
Xcode 15.4
Xcode 16.0
Xcode 16.1
Is the issue happening on a specific macOS Sequoia version?
No, it happens on multiple macOS Sequoia versions:
15.0 Beta 8
15.0 RC
15.0
15.1

To make UI testing easier and faster, I usually create URL bookmarks during normal app usage in the Simulator so that they can be instantly resolved on app launch during UI tests. For example, one of my apps allows browsing selected folders and stores bookmarks so they can be quickly opened again on following app launches, and instead of selecting the test folder each time at the beginning of the UI test, I select it once during normal app usage so that it's available immediately during the UI test.
This usually works fine, but every now and then the UI tests fail because the tested app isn't able to resolve the stored bookmark. I don't know why this happens, but usually opening and closing the app again in the Simulator and re-running the UI tests solves the issue.
The problem now is that I've just tried to setup some new UI tests for Apple Vision Pro Simulator and I'm never able to resolve bookmarks. So I created a sample project that reproduces the issue, and curiously enough the bookmarks don't even resolve when using an iPad Simulator (which usually works fine with my regular UI tests).
What am I doing wrong? This can be reproduced with a default iOS project, embedding the default storyboard view controller in a navigation view controller, and this code:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIDocumentPickerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(systemItem: .add, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in
let picker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [.folder])
picker.delegate = self
self.present(picker, animated: true)
}))
if let bookmark = UserDefaults.standard.data(forKey: "bookmark") {
readBookmark(bookmark)
}
}
func readBookmark(_ bookmark: Data) {
do {
let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 600, height: 100))
label.numberOfLines = 0
var stale = false
let url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmark, bookmarkDataIsStale: &stale)
if !url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() {
fatalError()
}
label.text = url.path
view.addSubview(label)
} catch {
fatalError(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentsAt urls: [URL]) {
do {
let url = urls[0]
if !url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() {
fatalError()
}
let bookmark = try url.bookmarkData()
UserDefaults.standard.set(bookmark, forKey: "bookmark")
readBookmark(bookmark)
} catch {
fatalError(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
And a default UI test, which always crashes because of the fatalError() in the catch clause of readBookmark(_:):
final class problemUITests: XCTestCase {
