Hello,
I am a UIKit developer and I would like to try out SwiftUI.
Unfortunately, my previews don't load.
My situation is like the one described in this blog post: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/704036.
Unfortunately I can't update Xcode like that developer did.
What I've tried: quitting and restarting Xcode, restarting my computer, resetting the simulator, deleting the derived data folder, creating new projects without storage options, test bundles or source control, editing the content view of the initial Hello World file.
To be clear, I've just started learning about SwiftUI, just yesterday evening, and the previews have never loaded.
Is the problem solvable?
If so, how?
The location of my derived data folder differs between Xcode and Finder.
How do I change Xcode's path to match my Finder path?
MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1, MacBook Air M1, 8GB
Xcode 15.2

In the following code, test 1 (test_postNotification) fails while test 2 (test_notificationsArePostedOnTheMainQueue) passes.
What concerns me, though, is that if I substitute the lines "let result = XCTWaiter.wait(for: [expectation], timeout: 0); XCTAssertEqual(result, .timedOut)" of test 2 with "wait(for: [expectation], timeout: 0.1)", then test number 1 passes.
I have cleaned the build folder and restarted Xcode and my computer, but the issue persists.
This concerns me because I would have said that the tests of the NotificationPosterTests class were isolated, but apparently they are not, since changing test 2 makes test 1 go from failing to passing.
Is this expected behavior?
import Foundation
import XCTest
extension Notification.Name {
static let menuPostRequest = Notification.Name("menuPostRequest")
static let editingOrderError = Notification.Name("editingOrderError")
}
class NotificationPoster {
let notificationCenter: NotificationCenter
init(notificationCenter: NotificationCenter = .default) {
self.notificationCenter = notificationCenter
}
func postNotification(_ notification: Notification) {
let _notificationCenter = notificationCenter // you can't use optional chaining nor conditional unwrapping on self to reference self.notificationCenter in the dispatch block because self is nil when self.postNotification(_:) is called
DispatchQueue.main.async {
_notificationCenter.post(notification)
}
}
}
final class NotificationPosterTests: XCTestCase {
private var sut: NotificationPoster!
private var notificationCenter: NotificationCenter!
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
notificationCenter = NotificationCenter()
sut = NotificationPoster(notificationCenter: notificationCenter)
}
override func tearDown() {
notificationCenter = nil
sut = nil
super.tearDown()
}
func test_postNotification() {
let notification = Notification(name: .menuPostRequest)
let expectation = XCTNSNotificationExpectation(
name: notification.name,
object: notification.object,
notificationCenter: notificationCenter
)
sut.postNotification(notification)
wait(for: [expectation], timeout: 0.1) // don't make it 0.01
}
func test_notificationsArePostedOnTheMainQueue() {
let notification = Notification(name: .editingOrderError)
let expectation = XCTNSNotificationExpectation(
name: notification.name,
object: notification.object,
notificationCenter: notificationCenter
)
sut.postNotification(notification)
let result = XCTWaiter.wait(for: [expectation], timeout: 0)
XCTAssertEqual(result, .timedOut)
}
}

Each time I run an app, which usually takes some 10 seconds, I normally go on working on it, but then I'm jumped to the simulator once the app has launched, which is especially annoying when I'm on full screen.
Is there a way to stay on Xcode, instead?

Usually the only options that is available is "Rename", but I would also like to be able to refactor (Swift) methods so that each parameter is on a separate line.

Xcode's test scheme "info", "arguments", "options" and "diagnostics" tabs were once visible by pressing Command + Option + U, but they've been moved.
Where do I find the corresponding sections, now?
Here's the old UI (credit: https://betterprogramming.pub/easy-unit-testing-for-firebase-in-xcode-874842f79d84):
Here is the new one:

When I simulate an app on an iOS device, the app gets installed, and is available for later use.
When I do so on the mac and interrupt the simulation, I can still find the app afterwards, but, if I click on it, I get an alert that says that the app is not supported.
My app's supported destinations are iPhone, iPad and Mac (designed for iPad).
How do I install an Xcode app on a mac with an apple silicon chip?
