Xcode 16 Do not display comments correctly
Comments are not displayed correctly in Xcode 16. As you can see on the included screenshot, the first /// are displayed correctly but the remaining ////////////////////////// are super small. In a programming text editor, like Xcode, all characters MUST be monospaced. Otherwise it is impossible to code. Xcode is not supposed to be a word processor. There are no parameters to fix that. It was working fine for the past 15 years on Xcode. Please fix that so I can work again. And never do that ever again. Understood?

Xcode won't execute code?
Hi everyone. I have the following code that I am trying to execute in Xcode. I then install it on my iPhone. It doesn't run at all and I don't know why. Any thoughts? Thank you. import CoreMotion class MyViewController: UIViewController { let motionManager = CMMotionManager() func startAccelerometer() { if motionManager.isAccelerometerAvailable { motionManager.accelerometerUpdateInterval = 0.1 // 10 updates per second motionManager.startAccelerometerUpdates(to: .main) { (data, error) in guard let accelerometerData = data else { return } let x = accelerometerData.acceleration.x let y = accelerometerData.acceleration.y let z = accelerometerData.acceleration.z // Process the x, y, and z acceleration values here print("X: \(x), Y: \(y), Z: \(z)") } } } }

Xcode 26.3 Codex Account just spinning
I have the new Xcode 26.3 running on an Intel MBP macOS 26.2 I have clicked to download Codex in the Xcode settings, then under the Intelligence section I select Codex but where it says "ChatGPT Account" there is a spinner that never ends. I suspect it is meant to show a Sign In button. I don't see any documentation to suggest this shouldn't work on Intel, so what gives? My "ChatGPT in Xcode" section is successfully signed in, and i've tried signing that out.

Failed to verify code signature when trying to install on iPad from XCode
Hi, run into this error today: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.QJh2l0/extracted/MyAwesome.app : 0xe8008015 (A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.) Project is an AUv3 app + extension. It builds and install fine on MacOS. It builds on iPad but can't install : that's when the error appears. Regarding provisioning files, I use Automatic manage signing and I can see that the Xcode Managed Profile looks fine an includes my iPad. The only thing I see that differ from other projects is that as an AUv3 project, I have both and App (host) and extension projects. Thus the bundle identifier for this extension project is not the same as it seems I have to use different identifiers. So app bundle id is x.y while extension is x.y.z (same x.y base)) Last but not least the project and IPA can be built fine on XCode Cloud. (Although I can't download the artifacts but it seems it's the same problem for many of us today...) macOS Version 15.4 (Build 24E248) Xcode 16.2 (23507) (Build 16C5032a) Thanks in advance for your help :)

Broken autocomplete in Xcode 26
Xcode 16 and 26 changes in painful way how the Tab key works during autocomplete. Previously, pressing Tab would extend the typed text up to the word match. For example, we have two classes: NSViewController and NSViewCoordinator BEFORE, typing: "NSV" + Tab used to complete to NSViewCo Now, in Xcode 26, pressing Tab just use the first suggestion. Stupidly. Especially when you want DispatchQueue and it gaves you DispatchSemaphore… That is very inconvenient because very often I want just see all possible cases with some prefix...without need of typing all prefix manually. How to restore the previous behavior? How to do autocomplete word-by-word?

File download not working in Xcode 26.0 RC
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm experiencing an issue with file download functionality in the iOS Simulator after updating to Xcode 26 RC (Build 17A321). Issue Description: When attempting to download files in the iOS Simulator via Safari, the download prompt appears correctly, but after tapping the 'Download' button, files are not being saved to the Files app. The download appears to do nothing with no error message, no indication of failure, but the file simply doesn't appear in Downloads or anywhere in the Files app. Environment: Xcode Version: 26.0 RC (17A321) iOS Simulator Version: 26.0 RC (23A339) Device Simulated: iPhone Air Steps to Reproduce: Open Safari in the iOS Simulator Navigate to a downloadable file (PDF, ZIP, etc.) Tap to initiate download Download prompt appears as expected Tap the 'Download' button Check the Files app → Downloads folder (empty) Expected Behavior: Files should download normally as they do on physical devices and as they did in previous Xcode versions. Actual Behavior: The download prompt dismisses after tapping 'Download', but no file appears in the Files app. No error message is shown, and there's no indication that the download failed, it simply appears as if nothing happened. Additional Information: Downloads work correctly on physical device (iOS 26 RC 23A340) This functionality worked properly in previous Xcode versions I have created a bug report to Feedback assistant: FB20190927 Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Simulator frozen while Xcode debugger attached
I'm on Xcode 16.3 (16E140), using iPhone 16 Pro Simulator with iOS 18.4, on macOS Sequoia 15.4. Today is the first time using this particular configuration. On Friday I was using Xcode 16.2, simulator on 17.5, macOS 15.3.2. This morning while running the app in the debugger I get times where I pause in using the app, perhaps to look up some information or make some notes, then go back to the simulator and nothing works. It is just frozen. Tap tap tap all day long and nothing responds. In the Xcode console I get this over and over while the simulator doesn't respond. nw_protocol_socket_set_no_wake_from_sleep [C100.1.1:2] setsockopt SO_NOWAKEFROMSLEEP failed [22: Invalid argument] nw_protocol_socket_set_no_wake_from_sleep setsockopt SO_NOWAKEFROMSLEEP failed [22: Invalid argument] I then hit the "Stop" button in Xcode debugger and get this in console <0x10843a0b0> Gesture: System gesture gate timed out. XPC connection interrupted Message from debugger: Xcode has killed the LLDB RPC server to allow the debugger to detach from your process. You may need to manually terminate your process. The Simulator springs to life immediately. It even seems to have queued up my most recent inputs and happily accepts them and processes them as normal.

Unable to Download iOS Simulator Runtime 26.1 on Xcode — Bad URL Error (Code 49)
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to download the iOS Simulator Runtime 26.1 on Xcode (version 26.1). The download always fails with the following error Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 I’m located in Brazil, so I initially thought it might be region-related, but I’ve already tried several attempts to fix it, including: Using VPNs for the US and Europe Installing the Xcode 26.2 beta Downgrading Xcode to earlier versions Reinstalling the same version of Xcode Restarting Xcode and my Mac Switching networks Clearing simulator support/device files Unfortunately, nothing has resolved the issue. Is anyone else facing this problem? Does anyone know a workaround or a manual way to download/install the iOS 26.1 simulator runtime? Thanks in advance!
