It’s been a PITA to get ruby installed on an M1 Mac which is used to install CocoaPods which many projects still use. I bothered to type up how to get CocoaPods installed so that others can be exclude

It looks like Apple’s Configurator 2 has been superseded since it returns a connection error on a regular basis. Does anyone know what has replaced it? There’s a bunch of useful functionality in there

I created a new project in Xcode 14.2. Selecting the project target, Build Phases tab and clicking on the disclosure arrow for Copy Bundle Resources shows existing resources and + and - buttons to mod

We used to be able to use the defaults command to read/write plist files, but that doesn’t seem to be working anymore on my OS 12.6.1 machine. There is a note of deprecation plans for this feature, an

Is it just me - or Xcode 14 is simply unusable at this point? Because new IBOutlet properties are not recognized in Interface Builder. (Outlets created in pre-14 Xcode versions do appear in Xcode 14 b

I've done some work on some of my SwiftUI views, but the preview won't work since I changed to Xcode 14 (currently 14.0.1). When I ask for the diagnosis, I get a window with this: HumanReadableSwiftEr

My guess it has to do with code signing but. I have a custom command line app in which the debug version works fine. Even when executed directly from terminal. When archived and exported, the optimise

macOS 12.5.1, M1 Max, Xcode 13.4 My Foundation-based daemon binary runs fine within Xcode and in my own local directories, but when I try to place it into /opt/local/bin or /usr/local/bin, macOS SIP w

XC 14 is stalling at launch due to I believe Gatekeeper taking its time to verify "iOS 15.5.simruntime". This wasn't an issue two days ago. The verification progress bar hasn't budged in 15 minutes so

I’m trying to debug some M1 build issues with the lovely arm64 build issue and I just noticed that sometimes there will be build settings that are bolded for some reason. Does anyone know why? I’m loo

I sorta kinda really hate this. Can we get it back? Do we have to go through the menus instead? God, I hate it when Apple does this garbage. Cheerfully, Alex Zavatone

I'm trying to use signposts to help profile C++ code with Instruments (with Xcode 14 beta 5), and it's not working. A section of code in question, which is definitely getting reached, starts like this

As in title. Thanks in advance. Alex Zavatone

Hi. I was of the assumption that we used to be about (Xcode 10?) to be able to run multiple iOS Simulators from one project. In Xcode 13.1, it appears that if I select another iOS Simulator and click

Ok another question that I have done a search for, but have not found an answer that I can use. I have two Macs and write code on both, transferring via Github. One is a Mac Mini and one is a MacBook

Is there some way of getting Xcode to remember the layout of the editors you last used? My 'go to' tab configures 3 Editor columns across my 34" screen. Every time I quit Xcode, it loses the column ge

Sometimes I can see the code in the XCode window, can edit it, can Commit - but get this error message! What is going on? I have done a search or two. error: Build input file cannot be found: '/Users/

I noticed in Xcode that there are some Environment Overrides in the debugger pane and I see Accessibility options in there. Is it possible using this to quickly turn or turn off Voiceover on a connect
