If you need help investigating a crash, please include a crash report in your post. To smooth things along, follow these guidelines:
For information on how to get a crash report, see Acquiring crash reports and diagnostic logs.
Include the whole crash report as a text attachment (click the paperclip icon and then choose Add File). This avoids clogging up the timeline while also preserving the wealth of information in the crash report.
If you’re not able to post your crash report as an attachment, see Can’t Post Crash Report as Attachment below.
If you want to highlight a section of the report, include it in the main body of your post. Put the snippet in a code block so that it renders nicely. To create a code block, add a delimiter line containing triple backquotes before and after the block, or just click the Code Block button.
If possible, post an Apple crash report. Third-party crash reporters are often missing critical information and have general reliability problems (for an explanation as to why, see Implementing Your Own Crash Reporter).
Symbolicate your crash report before posting it. For information on how to do this, see Adding identifiable symbol names to a crash report.
If you need to redact the crash report, do so consistently. Imagine you’re building the WaffleVarnish app whose bundle ID is com.example.wafflevarnish but you want to keep your new waffle varnishing technology secret. Replace WaffleVarnish with WwwwwwVvvvvvv and com.example.wafflevarnish with com.eeeeeee.wwwwwwvvvvvvv. This keeps the text in the crash report aligned while making it possible to distinguish the human-readible name of the app (WaffleVarnish) from the bundle ID (com.example.wafflevarnish).
Finally, for information on how to use a crash report to debug your own problems, see Diagnosing issues using crash reports and device logs.
Can’t Post Crash Report as Attachment
Crash reports have two common extensions: .crash and .ips. If you have an .ips file, please post that [1].
DevForums lets you attach a .crash file but not an .ips file (r. 117468172). To work around this, change the extension to .txt.
If DevForums complains that your crash report “contains sensitive language”, leave it out of your initial post and attach it to a reply. That often avoids this roadblock.
If you still can’t post your crash report, upload it to a file sharing service and include the URL in your post. Post the URL in the clear, per tip 14 in Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips.
Share and Enjoy

This posts collects together a bunch of information about the symbols found in a Mach-O file.
It assumes the terminology defined in An Apple Library Primer. If you’re unfamiliar with a term used here, look there for the definition.
If you have any questions or comments about this, start a new thread in the Developer Tools & Services > General topic area and tag it with Linker.

Understanding Mach-O Symbols
Every Mach-O file has a symbol table. This symbol table has many different uses:
During development, it’s written by the compiler.
And both read and written by the linker.
And various other tools.
During execution, it’s read by the dynamic linker.
And also by various APIs, most notably dlsym.
The symbol table is an array of entries. The format of each entry is very simple, but they have been used and combined in various creative ways to achieve a wide range of goals. For example:
In a Mach-O object file, there’s an entry for each symbol exported to the linker.
In a Mach-O image, there’s an entry for each symbol exported to the dynamic linker.
And an entry for each symbol imported from dynamic libraries.
Some entries hold information used by the debugger. See Debug Symbols, below.
Examining the Symbol Table
There are numerous tools to view and manipulate the symbol table, including nm, dyld_info, symbols, strip, and nmedit. Each of these has its own man page.
A good place to start is nm:
% nm Products/Debug/TestSymTab
U ___stdoutp
0000000100000000 T __mh_execute_header
U _fprintf
U _getpid
0000000100003f44 T _main
0000000100008000 d _tDefault
0000000100003ecc T _test
0000000100003f04 t _testHelper
Note In the examples in this post, TestSymTab is a Mach-O executable that’s formed by linking two Mach-O object files, main.o and TestCore.o.
There are three columns here, and the second is the most important. It’s a single letter indicating the type of the entry. For example, T is a code symbol (in Unix parlance, code is in the text segment), D is a data symbol, and so on. An uppercase letter indicates that the symbol is visible to the linker; a lowercase letter indicates that it’s internal.
An undefined (U) symbol has two potential meanings:
In a Mach-O image, the symbol is typically imported from a specific dynamic library. The dynamic linker connects this import to the corresponding exported symbol of the dynamic library at load time.
In a Mach-O object file, the symbol is undefined. In most cases the linker will try to resolve this symbol at link time.
Note The above is a bit vague because there are numerous edge cases in how the system handles undefined symbols. For more on this, see Undefined Symbols, below.
The first column in the nm output is the address associated with the entry, or blank if an address is not relevant for this type of entry. For a Mach-O image, this address is based on the load address, so the actual address at runtime is offset by the slide. See An Apple Library Primer for more about those concepts.
The third column is the name for this entry. These names have a leading underscore because that’s the standard name mangling for C. See An Apple Library Primer for more about name mangling.
The nm tool has a lot of formatting options. The ones I use the most are:
-m — This prints more information about each symbol table entry. For example, if a symbol is imported from a dynamic library, this prints the library name. For a concrete example, see A Deeper Examination below.
-a — This prints all the entries, including debug symbols. We’ll come back to that in the Debug Symbols section, below.
-p — By default nm sorts entries by their address. This disables that sort, causing nm to print the entries in the order in which they occur in the symbol table.
-x — This outputs entries in a raw format, which is great when you’re trying to understand what’s really going on. See Raw Symbol Information, below, for an example of this.
A Deeper Examination
To get more information about each symbol table, run nm with the -m option:
% nm -m Products/Debug/TestSymTab
(undefined) external ___stdoutp (from libSystem)
0000000100000000 (__TEXT,__text) [referenced dynamically] external __mh_execute_header
(undefined) external _fprintf (from libSystem)
(undefined) external _getpid (from libSystem)
0000000100003f44 (__TEXT,__text) external _main
0000000100008000 (__DATA,__data) non-external _tDefault
0000000100003ecc (__TEXT,__text) external _test
0000000100003f04 (__TEXT,__text) non-external _testHelper
This contains a world of extra information about each entry. For example:
You no longer have to remember cryptic single letter codes. Instead of U, you get undefined.
If the symbol is imported from a dynamic library, it gives the name of that dynamic library. Here we see that _fprintf is imported from the libSystem library.
It surfaces additional, more obscure information. For example, the referenced dynamically flag is a flag used by the linker to indicate that a symbol is… well… referenced dynamically, and thus shouldn’t be dead stripped.
Undefined Symbols
Mach-O’s handling of undefined symbols is quite complex. To start, you need to draw a distinction between the linker (aka the static linker) and the dynamic linker.
Undefined Symbols at Link Time
The linker takes a set of files as its input and produces a single file as its output. The input files can be Mach-O images or dynamic libraries [1]. The output file is typically a Mach-O image [2]. The goal of the linker is to merge the object files, resolving any undefined symbols used by those object files, and create the Mach-O image.
There are two standard ways to resolve an undefined symbol:
To a symbol exported by another Mach-O object file
To a symbol exported by a dynamic library
In the first case, the undefined symbol disappears in a puff of linker magic. In the second case, it records that the generated Mach-O image depends on that dynamic library [3] and adds a symbol table entry for that specific symbol. That entry is also shown as undefined, but it now indicates the library that the symbol is being imported from.
This is the core of the two-level namespace. A Mach-O image that imports a symbol records both the symbol name and the library that exports the symbol.
The above describes the standard ways used by the linker to resolve symbols. However, there are many subtleties here. The most radical is the flat namespace. That’s out of scope for this post, because it’s a really bad option for the vast majority of products. However, if you’re curious, the ld man page has some info about how symbol resolution works in that case.
A more interesting case is the -undefined dynamic_lookup option. This represents a halfway house between the two-level namespace and the flat namespace. When you link a Mach-O image with this option, the linker resolves any undefined symbols by adding a dynamic lookup undefined entry to the symbol table. At load time, the dynamic linker attempts to resolve that symbol by searching all loaded images. This is useful if your software works on other Unix-y platforms, where a flat namespace is the norm. It can simplify your build system without going all the way to the flat namespace.
Of course, if you use this facility and there are multiple libraries that export that symbol, you might be in for a surprise!
[1] These days it’s more common for the build system to pass a stub library (.tbd) to the linker. The effect is much the same as passing in a dynamic library. In this discussion I’m sticking with the old mechanism, so just assume that I mean dynamic library or stub library.
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a stub library, see An Apple Library Primer.
[2] The linker can also merge the object files together into a single object file, but that’s relatively uncommon operation. For more on that, see the discussion of the -r option in the ld man page.
[3] It adds an LC_LOAD_DYLIB load command with the install name from the dynamic library. See Dynamic Library Identification for more on that.
Undefined Symbols at Load Time
When you load a Mach-O image the dynamic linker is responsible for finding all the libraries it depends on, loading them, and connecting your imports to their exports. In the typical case the undefined entry in your symbol table records the symbol name and the library that exports the symbol. This allows the dynamic linker to quickly and unambiguously find the correct symbol. However, if the entry is marked as dynamic lookup [1], the dynamic linker will search all loaded images for the symbol and connect your library to the first one it finds.
If the dynamic linker is unable to find a symbol, its default behaviour is to fail the load of the Mach-O image. This changes if the symbol is a weak reference. In that case, the dynamic linking continues to load the image but sets the address of the symbol to NULL. See Weak vs Weak vs Weak, below, for more about this.
[1] In this case nm shows the library name as dynamically looked up.
Weak vs Weak vs Weak
Mach-O supports two different types of weak symbols:
Weak references (aka weak imports)
Weak definitions
IMPORTANT If you use the term weak without qualification, the meaning depends on your audience. App developers tend to assume that you mean a weak reference whereas folks with a C++ background tend to assume that you mean a weak definition. It’s best to be specific.
Weak References
Weak references support the availability mechanism on Apple platforms. Most developers build their apps with the latest SDK and specify a deployment target, that is, the oldest OS version on which their app runs. Within the SDK, each declaration is annotated with the OS version that introduced that symbol [1]. If the app uses a symbol introduced later than its deployment target, the compiler flags that import as a weak reference. The app is then responsible for not using the symbol if it’s run on an OS release where it’s not available.
For example, consider this snippet:
#include <xpc/xpc.h>
void testWeakReference(void) {
printf("%p\n", xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement);
}
The xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement function is declared like so:
API_AVAILABLE(macos(14.4))
…
int
xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement(…);
The API_AVAILABLE macro indicates that the symbol was introduced in macOS 14.4. If you build this code with the deployment target set to macOS 13, the symbol is marked as a weak reference:
% nm -m Products/Debug/TestWeakRefC
…
(undefined) weak external _xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement (from libSystem)
If you run the above program on macOS 13, it’ll print NULL (actually 0x0).
Without support for weak references, the dynamic linker on macOS 13 would fail to load the program because the _xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement symbol is unavailable.
[1] In practice most of the SDK’s declarations don’t have availability annotations because they were introduced before the minimum deployment target supported by that SDK.
Weak definitions
Weak references are about imports. Weak definitions are about exports. A weak definition allows you to export a symbol from multiple images. The dynamic linker coalesces these symbol definitions. Specifically:
The first time it loads a library with a given weak definition, the dynamic linker makes it the primary.
It registers that definition such that all references to the symbol resolve to it. This registration occurs in a namespace dedicated to weak definitions. That namespace is flat.
Any subsequent definitions of that symbol are ignored.
Weak definitions are weird, but they’re necessary to support C++’s One Definition Rule in a dynamically linked environment.
IMPORTANT Weak definitions are not just weird, but also inefficient. Avoid them where you can. To flush out any unexpected weak definitions, pass the -warn_weak_exports option to the static linker.
The easiest way to create a weak definition is with the weak attribute:
__attribute__((weak))
void testWeakDefinition(void) {
}
IMPORTANT The C++ compiler can generate weak definitions without weak ever appearing in your code.
This shows up in nm like so:
% nm -m Products/Debug/TestWeakDefC
…
0000000100003f40 (__TEXT,__text) weak external _testWeakDefinition
…
The output is quite subtle. A symbol flagged as weak external is either a weak reference or a weak definition depending on whether it’s undefined or not. For clarity, use dyld_info instead:
% dyld_info -imports -exports Products/Debug/TestWeakRefC
Products/Debug/TestWeakDefC [arm64]:
…
-imports:
…
0x0001 _xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement [weak-import] (from libSystem)
% dyld_info -imports -exports Products/Debug/TestWeakDefC
Products/Debug/TestWeakDefC [arm64]:
-exports:
offset symbol
…
0x00003F40 _testWeakDefinition [weak-def]
…
…
Here, weak-import indicates a weak reference and weak-def a weak definition.
Weak Library
There’s one final confusing use of the term weak, that is, weak libraries. A Mach-O image includes a list of imported libraries and a list of symbols along with the libraries they’re imported from. If an image references a library that’s not present, the dynamic linker will fail to load the library even if all the symbols it references in that library are weak references.
To get around this you need to mark the library itself as weak. If you’re using Xcode it will often do this for your automatically. If it doesn’t, mark the library as optional in the Link Binary with Libraries build phase.
Use otool to see whether a library is required or optional. For example, this shows an optional library:
% otool -L Products/Debug/TestWeakRefC
Products/Debug/TestWeakRefC:
/usr/lib/libEndpointSecurity.dylib (… 511.60.5, weak)
…
In the non-optional case, there’s no weak indicator:
% otool -L Products/Debug/TestWeakRefC
Products/Debug/TestWeakRefC:
/usr/lib/libEndpointSecurity.dylib (… 511.60.5)
…
Debug Symbols
or Why the DWARF still stabs. (-:
Historically, all debug information was stored in symbol table entries, using a format knows as stabs. This format is now obsolete, having been largely replaced by DWARF. However, stabs symbols are still used for some specific roles.
Note See <mach-o/stab.h> and the stab man page for more about stabs on Apple platforms. See stabs and DWARF for general information about these formats.
In DWARF, debug symbols aren’t stored in the symbol table. Rather, debug information is stored in various __DWARF sections. For example:
% otool -l Intermediates.noindex/TestSymTab.build/Debug/TestSymTab.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestCore.o | grep __DWARF -B 1
sectname __debug_abbrev
segname __DWARF
…
The compiler inserts this debug information into the Mach-O object file that it creates. Eventually this Mach-O object file is linked into a Mach-O image. At that point one of two things happens, depending on the Debug Information Format build setting.
During day-to-day development, set Debug Information Format to DWARF. When the linker creates a Mach-O image from a bunch of Mach-O object files, it doesn’t do anything with the DWARF information in those objects. Rather, it records references to the source objects files into the final image. This is super quick.
When you debug that Mach-O image, the debugger finds those references and uses them to locate the DWARF information in the original Mach-O object files.
Each reference is stored in a stabs OSO symbol table entry. To see them, run nm with the -a option:
% nm -a Products/Debug/TestSymTab
…
0000000000000000 - 00 0001 OSO …/Intermediates.noindex/TestSymTab.build/Debug/TestSymTab.build/Objects-normal/arm64/TestCore.o
0000000000000000 - 00 0001 OSO …/Intermediates.noindex/TestSymTab.build/Debug/TestSymTab.build/Objects-normal/arm64/main.o
…
Given the above, the debugger knows to look for DWARF information in TestCore.o and main.o. And notably, the executable does not contain any DWARF sections:
% otool -l Products/Debug/TestSymTab | grep __DWARF -B 1
%
When you build your app for distribution, set Debug Information Format to DWARF with dSYM File. The executable now contains no DWARF information:
% otool -l Products/Release/TestSymTab | grep __DWARF -B 1
%
Xcode runs dsymutil tool to collect the DWARF information, organise it, and export a .dSYM file. This is actually a document package, within which is a Mach-O dSYM companion file:
% find Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM
Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM
Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM/Contents
…
Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF
Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/TestSymTab
…
% file Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/TestSymTab
Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/TestSymTab: Mach-O 64-bit dSYM companion file arm64
That file contains a copy of the the DWARF information from all the original Mach-O object files, optimised for use by the debugger:
% otool -l Products/Release/TestSymTab.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/TestSymTab | grep __DWARF -B 1
…
sectname __debug_line
segname __DWARF
…
Raw Symbol Information
As described above, each Mach-O file has a symbol table that’s an array of symbol table entries. The structure of each entry is defined by the declarations in <mach-o/nlist.h> [1]. While there is an nlist man page, the best documentation for this format is the the comments in the header itself.
Note The terms nlist stands for name list and dates back to truly ancient versions of Unix.
Each entry is represented by an nlist_64 structure (nlist for 32-bit Mach-O files) with five fields:
n_strx ‘points’ to the string for this entry.
n_type encodes the entry type. This is actually split up into four subfields, as discussed below.
n_sect is the section number for this entry.
n_desc is additional information.
n_value is the address of the symbol.
The four fields within n_type are N_STAB (3 bits), N_PEXT (1 bit), N_TYPE (3 bits), and N_EXT (1 bit).
To see these raw values, run nm with the -x option:
% nm -a -x Products/Debug/TestSymTab
…
0000000000000000 01 00 0300 00000036 _getpid
0000000100003f44 24 01 0000 00000016 _main
0000000100003f44 0f 01 0000 00000016 _main
…
This prints a column for n_value, n_type, n_sect, n_desc, and n_strx. The last column is the string you get when you follow the ‘pointer’ in n_strx.
The mechanism used to encode all the necessary info into these fields is both complex and arcane. For the details, see the comments in <mach-o/nlist.h> and <mach-o/stab.h>. However, just to give you a taste:
The entry for getpid has an n_type field with just the N_EXT flag set, indicating that this is an external symbol. The n_sect field is 0, indicating a text symbol. And n_desc is 0x0300, with the top byte indicating that the symbol is imported from the third dynamic library.
The first entry for _main has an n_type field set to N_FUN, indicating a stabs function symbol. The n_desc field is the line number, that is, line 22.
The second entry for _main has an n_type field with N_TYPE set to N_SECT and the N_EXT flag set, indicating a symbol exported from a section. In this case the section number is 1, that is, the text section.
[1] There is also an <nlist.h> header that defines an API that returns the symbol table. The difference between <nlist.h> and <mach-o/nlist.h> is that the former defines an API whereas the latter defines the Mach-O on-disk format. Don’t include both; that won’t end well!
Hello,
I'm doing an update to my app already IN the app store.
The app is built using .Net Maui targeting iOS, Windows and Android.
All works fine in debug and in release on Android and Windows.
However, the app launches on my iOS devices and crashes immediately.
I really have no idea what the crash report on the device is telling me.
Attached is the .ips file if anyone can at least point me in the right direction...
Thanks

Below is a basic test app to resemble an actual app I am working on to hopefully better describe an issue I am having with tab view. It seems only in split screen when I am triggering something onAppear that would cause another view to update, or another view updates on its own, the focus gets pulled to that newly updated view instead of staying on the view you are currently on. This seems to only happen with views that are listed in the more tab. In any other orientation other than 50/50 split this does not happen. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello.
Recently, there have been many app crash issues of unknown causes.
It has been reported that the app crashes as soon as it is launched, but it is difficult to resolve the issue because it cannot be reproduced.
I have attached the crash log, so please review it and provide appropriate guidance.
Thank you.

I am submitting new App for review and it is rejected due to Crash on iPad
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
I am not able to reproduce the same locally, have tested app against same iOS and all the device type but no crash.
Can someone help provide some pointers on how to debug/investigate the issue.
Attached is the crash report I received:
crashlog-C2489824-B949-47D8-BE2B-9D54CAE8F733.ips
We are working with an iOS app where we have enabled the “Generate Debug Symbols” setting to true in Xcode. As a result, the .dSYM files are generated and utilized in Firebase Crashlytics for crash reporting.
However, we received a note in our Vulnerability Assessment report indicating a potential security concern. The report mentions that the .ipa file could be reverse-engineered due to the presence of debug symbols, and that such symbols should not be included in a released app. We could not find any security-related information about this flag, “Generate Debug Symbols,” in Apple’s documentation.
Could you please clarify if enabling the “Generate Debug Symbols” flag in Xcode for a production app creates any security vulnerabilities, such as the one described in the report?
The report mentions the following vulnerability: TEST-0219: Testing for Debugging Symbols
The concern raised is that debugging symbols, while useful for crash symbolication, may be leveraged to reverse-engineer the app and should not be present in a production release.
Your prompt confirmation on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
The charging port of my iPhone may be damaged due to water, and it cannot be charged and transmitted data. It can only be charged wirelessly that does not support data transmission. However, since Xcode supports wireless debugging, I can continue to test my App. However, I recently changed to a new Mac, but there is no connection record with the iPhone in the new Mac, which makes it impossible to debug wirelessly.
So I want to know how to realize wireless debugging on such a device without debugging records?
I read the documentation and it told I had to prepare the product on App Store connect and once it is at the state "Ready to submit" I could access it on a phone where I am connected with an Icloud account in the developper list of the apple development account.
This is what I've done but when I try to fetch in my flutter code the product with the id I set in App Store connect it says "No product found"
Here is where I fetch the product:
Future purchaseProduct(String productId) async {
try {
Set<String> _pIds = {productId};
final ProductDetailsResponse response =
await _iap.queryProductDetails(_pIds);
if (response.productDetails.isEmpty) {
throw 'Product not found';
}
final ProductDetails productDetails = response.productDetails.first;
final PurchaseParam purchaseParam =
PurchaseParam(productDetails: productDetails);
_iap.buyConsumable(purchaseParam: purchaseParam);
} catch (e) {
Services.debugLog('Error purchasing product: $e');
throw e;
}

I checked the product ID and it does not seems to be the problem. Is there some other steps I need to do ?
When apple pay on the web does a onshippingcontactselected it appears to truncate the zip code.
If I enter:
11111
or
11111-1111
I always get 11111. Is there any way to get the plus 4?
Hi all, reposting from here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/789849/xattr-c-not-removing-com-apple-finderinfo-attribute
I was trying to build my Xcode project, but ran into the error "resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed." I was following the solutions from this stack exchange post, but xattr seems to not be working as expected.
Basically, running xattr -cr . on my project directory successfully removes all xattrs except for com.apple.FinderInfo, which persists on all .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace files. I've tried everything under the sun, from xattr -d to sudo to dot_clean to tar to rsync and nothing can remove it. Is this just some kind of immortal attribute? It's preventing me from building my project. I'm at a loss here, this is my senior thesis project.

I came to this problem because my Xcode project was failing to build due to the error "resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed" (was trying the solutions on this post).
Basically, running xattr -cr . in the terminal on my project directory removes all extended attributes except com.apple.FinderInfo, which stays on all .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace files. I've tried everything under the sun, from sudo to xattr -d to dot_clean to tar to rsync and nothing works. Is this just an immortal attribute that can never be removed? I'm truly at a loss here, this is for my senior thesis project.
Hello,
I'm creating an app that stores multiple Date objects: the users selects a date and a time and receives a notification at this time precisely.
The problem that happens is after saving a Date, if the device's timezone changes, the Date also changes - and that is not what's I'm expecting (just want the original time as is without depending on timezone).
I have inspected the TimeZone properties when I'm building the Date from DateComponents but nothing has worked.
Thank you for your answer.
i recently upgraded to sequoia, and now, more often than not, when running in the debugger, opening my database causes a hang:
When i run outside the debugger, it opens just fine.
I suspect it has to do with "full disk access"? but i've given my app full disk access.
i've also set Qt and Xcode to have "Allow apps to use developer tools" permissions. as a test i also added my app into that permission group, all to no avail.
the path to the DB being opened is in my user's Music folder, and having full disk access gives permission for everything, including things in that folder.
confused!
I have an app that is released and live on the store. I made some changes and resubmitted a new version. The apps update was rejected because it was reported to crash. After code review, still see no problems, I am unable to duplicate the reviewers crash using devices or simulator. How can I fix it if I can't see it?
Our app uses Metal for image processing. We have found that if our app (and its possible intensive image processing) is started quickly after user is logged in, then calls to Metal may be hanging/stuck for a good while.
Example: it can take 1-2 minutes for something that usually takes 3-5 seconds! Metal threads are just hanging in a memmove...
In Activity Monitor we see a lot of things are happening right after log-in. But why Metal calls are blocking for so long is unknown to us...
The workaround is to wait a minute before we start our app and start intensive image processing using Metal. But hard to explain this workaround to end-users...
It doesn't happen on all computers but fairly easy to reproduce on some computers.
We are using macOS 15.3.1. M1/M3 Max.
Any good ideas for how to proceed with this problem and possible reach out to Apple engineers?
Thanks! :)
I changed my application's name and bundle identifier from xcode.
I am able to publish this app to testflight (internal) successfully. However, when users of my app report crash and I try to open them from App Store Connect crash section I see following error in Xcode:
Xcode failed to locate iOS App with App Store Identifier "XXXXXXX418".
If I open in Xcode > Window > Organizer > Crashes I see following error:
Upload "YourAPP" to App Store Connect to begin receiving crash logs.
It seems that AppStore identifier at one point changed and xcode and appstore connect are out of sync. What solution is there?

Hi, I encountered an issue after the latest update on Swift Playground.
I’m using the iPad Pro 3rd Gen, first time reporting a bug hopefully I’m on the right platform.
When I create a new Swift file or folder, it’ll auto revert the file/folder name to the default naming upon creation.
Tested this one on a few existing projects, it’s the same for all of them.
Initially when I created a new project to verify, those files/folders can be renamed without the issue of reverting.
But after testing it again, seems like the same issue is happening to it as well.
I‘ve tried restarting my iPad but the problem persists.
So I thought to report it and from my search seems like this is the platform for it? Thanks.
Hallo zusammen,
ich habe seit einiger Zeit ein Problem, dass ich eine App 'Warenwirtschaft' aus Xcode heraus nicht mehr im Simulator oder auf meinem IPad starten kann.
Ein Compilieren und Verteilen über TestFlight funktioniert weiterhin ohne Probleme.
Leider klappt das Debugger nun nicht mehr.
Anbei die Fehlermeldung von Xcode.
Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen.
Grüsse Mark
