Hi - I’m trying to move over my current project from Xcode 14 to Xcode 15 and having some issues with the new Mergeable Libraries feature. Specifically, Xcode 15.0.1 appears to be taking several of my old Xcode 13 and 14 pre-built Frameworks and merging their binaries into the main executable. But it’s doing this despite all the “Merge” Build Settings being set to NO in my main project. Furthermore, Xcode 15 is only doing this to my older pre-built Frameworks. My project also creates several other Frameworks at build time, but Xcode 15 doesn’t seem to be merging those Frameworks into the main executable. So I’m confused. Since I'm new to Xcode 15 and Mergeable Libraries, I was wondering: Is this expected behavior in Xcode 15 or should I file a bug? I would think that the Mergeable Libraries system would be opt-in, and I haven’t done anything to activate it. Thanks.

For the past week I’ve been unable to prepare new Mac applications for submission to App Store Connect. macOS isn't providing my apps with MAS Receipt data at launch time when testing with App Store Connect Sandbox users. I discovered this when I started working on an update for one of our apps. But I’ve found that almost all of our other published apps are exhibiting the same behavior. When our apps are launched, we check for the existence of MAS Receipt data in the app's package (ie, MyAppName.app/Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt). When the receipt doesn’t exist our apps call exit(173) as per Apple’s guidelines. At that point, macOS typically downloads the MAS Receipt data and re-launches the app for us. However, after the call to exit(173) no Receipt data is downloaded, and the Finder reports the app as being “Damaged”. An inspection of the Console log reveals the following: loginwindow -[PersistentAppsSupport applicationQuit:] | for app:MyAppName, _appTrackingState = 2 loginwindow -[PersistentAppsSupport applicationQuit:] | App: MyAppName, quit, updating active tracking timer storeuid ReceiptRefreshRequest: Error fetching receipt for /Applications/MyAppName.app - Error Domain=com.apple.commerce.client Code=500 "(null)" storelegacy StoreLegacy: Failed to perform in-line receipt renewal for application at path /Applications/MyAppName.app : 'The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.commerce.client error 500.)' (This particular log text is from Mojave; Catalina doesn’t provide many more details) I’m able to reproduce this issue on 3 different Macs (iMac Pro, MacBook Pro 2014, and iMac 2010), 3 different OS’s (Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra), and 4 different Sandbox accounts, one of which is brand new. I’ve made sure my Apple ID is logged out of the Mac App Store, iTunes, and iCloud. I’ve rebooted my Macs countless times. I’ve even gone so far as to install a “clean” version of Catalina on one of my Macs. Nothing seems to help. I contacted Developer Support about this. Unfortunately they didn’t have any answers and suggested I post in the Forums or file a Tech Support request. So I figured I’d try the Forums first to see if anyone had any thoughts. Thanks!

Sandbox testing had been working great for me up until about 22 hours ago. Since then, all my Mac App Store apps have been getting: Error fetching receipt - Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." UserInfo={kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4, ), NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://p100-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/createAppReceipt, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://p100-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/createAppReceipt, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102} Apple's System Status pages have consistently reported "green" across the board during this time. This has been happening with all of our Mac App Store apps. I've tried testing using: Various different Macs, various OS X User accounts, various Sandbox accounts, and various versions of OS X. I went so far as to try an offsite Mac across town that's on a different IP & DNS. No bueno. Any suggestions (other than to file a report with Apple)? Thanks!
