Xcode 26 Beta Simulator Bug: Issue with Fast Account Creation Using Passkeys

Hi everyone,

We’re testing the new iOS 26 capability, Performing Fast Account Creation with Passkeys, using the sample project provided here: Performing Fast Account Creation with Passkeys.

When running the project on the iOS 26 simulator and tapping the "Sign Up" button, we encounter the following error:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1010.)

From the header file, this error is described as:

/// ASAuthorizationError.h
/// This error signals that the device is not currently set up to create passkeys.
ASAuthorizationErrorDeviceNotConfiguredForPasskeyCreation AS_API_AVAILABLE(ios(19.0), macos(16.0), visionos(3.0)) = 1010,

We’ve tested this on both Xcode 26 Beta 1 and Beta 2, and the error persists on the simulator in both versions.

However, when testing on a physical iOS 26 device, everything works as expected, just like in the WWDC demo.

Could this issue be related to missing simulator settings? Or is it a potential bug in the simulator? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
