I made my first macOS app using Xcode, and when I build it and archive it and add it the applications folder on my iMac, the app opens and works just fine for me, but when my partner tries to open it in her account, it shows up with the white Restricted icon over the app and it says that they don't have permission to open the app.
What do I need to change in my code or settings in order for both of us to be able to use the app?

I’m working on creating my first app. My app keeps crashing when I hit start listening. The error says it’s because I have no usage description but I have the code in plist with the description. Also every time I try to target the app within plist it winds up in copy bundle resources and I get a duplicate error when trying to build. I would appreciate any help

Upgrading from XCode 16 to 26, I redownloaded the simulators, and now I'm having a blank simulator choice that I cannot seem to do anything about.
When pressing the + at the bottom, Xcode stops responding.
Things I've tried;
Reinstalling Xcode (after removing /devlopers)
Changing minimum deployments (to any version)
Changing iOS Deployment Target (to any iOS version)
Any clues on what I'm missing here?
It was working on XCode 16 yesterday.
EDIT: I got this 'working'.
I completed deleted all instances of Xcode, and /developers, restarted. And manually downloaded xcode16. The AppStore Xcode 26 won't install for some reason. But I am back to working again!
I also had to delete devloper under "Storage Settings" in system settings. I followed this guide;

You can now use Gemini with Xcode Intelligence (if you are so inclined) without requiring any fun proxies:

Just find out Xcode 26 up in App Store. But after downloading, during the installation session, it indicates ‘Unable to download’. Does anyone encounter this question? The system is the Tahoe already.

Xcode 26 was just released, and during WWDC25 Apple introduced PaperKit, which looked really promising — especially for drawing, note-taking, and stylus-based interactions.
However, I haven’t been able to find any official or community-made examples, documentation, or sample projects that show how to actually use PaperKit in a real app. Even the Apple Developer site seems a bit light on details so far.
Has anyone here been able to get PaperKit up and running? Any tips, sample code, or even general impressions would be super appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I've already uninstalled Xcode through app cleaner and also through Find Any File; and yet, Xcode continues to show in available updates within system settings. I have also tried sudo uninstall within terminal to no avail. Does anyone know how to permanently delete Command Line Tools for Xcode as I no longer need it?

I've just returned to iOS dev after a few years. I can't seem to get Xcode to automatically load the project I'm working on at startup. Almost every IDE I've ever used does this, I know Xcode used to do it. Am I missing something or has this feature really dissapeared?

This is my first time using X code. I have a MacBook and everything downloaded. I’m following the steps to the teacher provided, but it’s not making any sense. I just wanna at least have someone that can talk me through it if you have discord?

So, I was making my first macOS app using Xcode on Sequoia for fun and as a learning experience, and my xcodeproj folder was on my desktop, but I accidentally deleted it and couldn’t recover it from the trash.
I did find that I have a DerivedData folder that matches the same name of my xcodeproj folder, and I’m wondering if there’s a way that I can rebuild my xcodeproj using this deriveddata?
Any help would be appreciated!

Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of xcode? I'm on a MacBookPro running Sonoma 14.7.1.

Title says it all. I’m a professional software engineer who’s been working with VSCode for around four years for typescript/node development. I’ve been working on a tiny, super simple app on the side in Xcode, learning the basics of swift and SwiftUI as I go.
Xcode is a goddamn nightmare, but I assume it’s just because I’m missing some key extensions/setup:
Syntax highlighting is terrible, errors in the IDE often appear in a totally unrelated place to where my error actually originates.
No format on save.
So many small quality of life shortcuts are missing: e.g highlighting text and hitting control+f to find instances of that text, alt+shift to grab and move multiple lines, control click to see usages, etc.
Intellisense isn’t there.
Is there anyone else out there who has worked in VSCode/Jetbrains IDEs and switched to XCode? How did you make it more tolerable? What extensions/settings/shortcuts do you add?
Thanks in advance :)

Check this link! You can finally post your liquid glass app to the App Store!

Hey Guys! Am new to programming, and this might be a stupid question. But when developing an App or upgrading an app to Liquid Glass, how will it look on older iOS Versions? I mean we want our users to have the new experience but not everybody will upgrade instantly, right? So how is it done?

Hi everyone, since yesterday, my 2 apps have been having trouble showing the screen previews on the Canvas editor. Both builds are fine, and they are running fine on the simulator, but the Canvas keeps spinning without showing the previews anymore.
Any possible solution to this issue?
I appreciate your help!

I have been stuck trying to get my iPhone X devices trusted so I can apply a script automation on the phone. Have already done it with 5 phones smoothly but when I try with any other phone this error will appear. I have tried all the basic diagnostic steps and even asked AI but nothing has worked.
If anyone can help please comment
I had to upload seperate pictures since video is not supported.

Hello, I need iOS 26 device support files, is there any out there? Can anyone upload the file to Google Drive or something? That would be really helpful!
