Overview of steps to create new app from existing one
It'd be great if someone would give an overview of the steps to create a new app from an existing one. Can I copy my Xcode project to get started? After I copy my Xcode project, what do I need to do in Xcode? What do I need to do regarding certificate(s) and bundle id. Are there any steps where order is super important? Feel free, of course, to provide a link to an article and/or video on this as that'd be awesome if the information is current. What I've found online is typically out-of-date or more specific - not an overview.

DUNS Name Update Delay – Can I Enroll with Old Name and Update Later?
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a company (AAA) and renamed it to BBB. While the name has been updated locally in the Czech DUNS database, I’ve been informed it could take 4–6 weeks for the new name to appear internationally. When I attempt to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, I still see the old company name (AAA). I’m worried about losing valuable time if I have to wait for the international DUNS update. Is there any way to proceed with the enrollment under the old name and then update it to the new name later once the global DUNS data is refreshed? Or is there a way to expedite the update process? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Custom font doesn't appear in Interface Builder
I installed a custom font (Font awesome) into my app. I triple checked that I did everything right: the font files are included in the bundle (they appear in the "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase) and the names of the fonts appear in the Info.plist file under "Fonts provided by application". In Interface builder, I select a Label, set the font to "Custom", then I click the Family list to select the font I want. Once or twice, I was actually able to see the Font Awesome fonts in this list and select one. However, they no longer appear there when I create new labels in new views. I do not understand why. I've been limping along by copying a label from one of the views where it worked and pasting it into the new view, but this is tiresome. I know the fonts are installed correctly because I can see them when I run the app. Why are the fonts not showing up on the font list in interface builder?

A static lib/framework with dwarf info. Will leaking your private info?
When you build a static library that includes DWARF information, you may encounter error messages in the binary package generated by Xcodebuild. Upon examining the DWARF information with dwarfdump, you will find that any entries containing keywords like dir are all absolute paths specific to the publisher's computer. This is quite alarming, as it poses a risk of leaking private information. Additionally, when debugging an app, you can encounter consistent warning notes indicating that the referenced path addresses cannot be found. This is because the absolute path addresses generated during the 'xcodebuild' process reflect the paths from the computer used to build it. When distributing this to others, how can anyone access these paths? Has the design of the secondary linking process for DWARF considered the issues related to binary distribution? Are there existing solutions to address and handle privacy concerns? Is there a solution to allow the distributed DWARF files to be correctly recognized during compilation and debugging of the app? BTW: Incorrect paths can indeed affect LLDB's ability to load and debug the application effectively?

Unable to Debug App (Message from debugger: attach failed)
I'm working on an audio plugin, and when I set the target to VST3 instead of Standalone Plugin and check the "Debug Executable" box, I get this error: Message from debugger: attach failed (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.) I found this post, which seems to be about this same issue, and I followed the recommended solution: I made sure CODE_SIGN_INJECT_BASE_ENTITLEMENTS is true and DEPLOYMENT_POSTPROCESSING is false. I also checked the entitlements on the .app using codesign -d --entitlements, and it returned: [Key] com.apple.security.get-task-allow [Value] [Bool] true This seems like it has the proper entitlements, but it is still breaking with the above error message when I clean and build. Any ideas?

Need iOS 18.3.2 Device Support Files for Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS Ventura 13.7.4
Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with running my app on my iPhone, and I’m hoping someone can help. Here’s my situation: I’m using Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS Ventura 13.7.4. My iPhone is running iOS 18.3.2 (Model: iPhone 14 Pro). When I connect my iPhone to Xcode, I get the error: "Could not locate device support files. You may be able to resolve the issue by installing the latest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store or developer.apple.com." I understand that Xcode 14.3.1 only supports up to iOS 16.4, and my iPhone’s iOS 18.3.2 is much newer. Unfortunately, I cannot update my macOS to Sonoma (14.x) due to hardware limitations, so I cannot install a newer version of Xcode (like 15.x or 16.x) that supports iOS 18.3.2. I’ve tried adding device support files manually, but the repositories I found (e.g., iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport and JinjunHan/iOSDeviceSupport) only have files up to iOS 16.4 or 17.3, and they don’t work for iOS 18.3.2. Does anyone have the device support files for iOS 18.3.2 (or a close version like 18.3) that I can add to my Xcode 14.3.1 to make it work with my iPhone? Alternatively, does anyone know a reliable source where I can download these files? Any other suggestions to resolve this issue without upgrading my macOS would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help! [Your Name or Username]

MapKit not working in Swift Playgrounds
This is the complete Playground code: import MapKit import SwiftUI import PlaygroundSupport struct AddressSearchView: View { @State private var region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.01, longitudeDelta: 0.01) ) var body: some View { VStack { Map(position: .constant(MapCameraPosition.region(region))) { } .frame(height: 300) } } } struct AddressSearchView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { AddressSearchView() } } PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(AddressSearchView()) When I try to run this I get this in the debug console: error: Couldn't look up symbols: protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI protocol witness table for _MapKit_SwiftUI.EmptyMapContent : _MapKit_SwiftUI.MapContent in _MapKit_SwiftUI Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler. the preview never shows up. If I use other SwiftUI components and not the map it works fine. What is happening? Playground target is Swift 6 macOS (iOS does the same). Xcode 16.2

This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: [._Symbols]
Hello, I recently updated my app, and in the Transporter app it said that the processing failed. This is the email I recieved: Please correct the following issues and upload a new binary to App Store Connect. ITMS-90048: This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: [._Symbols] I couldn't find anything related to this in XCode or anywhere else on the internet. What did I do wrong? For context, I am developing using Expo and React Native.

Can I use ARGeoAnchor with simulated locations
I'm trying to evaluate if we can support AR navigation with MapKit. The feature is supposed to be available for users in US. I tried to run the sample on my iPhone: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/tracking-geographic-locations-in-ar?language=objc But I'm in a location that ARGeoTrackingConfiguration.checkAvailabilityWithCompletionHandler: always return false. I think ARGeoAnchor isn't supported in my location. I tried to use simulated locations by Adding a gpx file when launching the app. Enabling Xcode -> Debug -> Simulate Location -> New York, NY, US But the availability for ARGeoAnchor is still false. Is that possible for me to develop the ARGeoAnchor feature outside of the covered areas?

We cant activate an Apple Developer Account
Hello, We are struggling with a case creating the accounts for a company from Serbia and Croatia. The specific issue we are facing with these two accounts is that the enrollment is accepted without any problems. However, it is worth noting that during the registration of the Serbian account, Apple requested personal documentation from the account holder. Once the documentation was provided, the enrollment was successfully completed. However, when it comes to making the subscription payment, the transaction does not process correctly. We have tried making the payment from different devices and using various payment methods, but in all cases, we have been unable to activate the account. We always consider Apple's 48-hour processing time for payments, but after that period, we receive no information—neither account activation nor payment rejection. When we contacted Apple Support to explain our case, the only solution they provided was to cancel the Apple Developer enrollment and start the entire process again. However, even after doing this, the client is still unable to activate their account. Hope that someone that faced the same issue can help with this as Apple support won't give us more information about which can be the problem. Thank you,

Trouble Seeing print debug statements
I am working on an XCode project and I have some Swift functions within a helper functions file. This file has some functions declared that create 3 global variables. These global variables are then used in various views throughout the app. In the functions, there are print statements for when it catches an error. However, when I run the app and I get an error that stems from this file, there are no print statements. How can I have this print statements show up in the debug console?
