How is one supposed to create a Background Assets extension? There's no extension type for this existing in Xcode beta 5

I want to use features described in the background assets WWDC22 session, however with Xcode 14 Beta 5 there is no application extension of this type.

There was an application extension type with beta 4, but there are two problems with this

  • firstly Testflight doesn't recognize it so its impossible to upload and therefore use (because some of the features are documented as only working when the app is installed from Testflight/App Store).
  • secondly, if one creates an extension using Xcode beta 4, then it complies with beta 4, but it won't compile with beta 5.

Therefore it is currently impossible to even begin to start working with the background assets extension framework.

Still not there in Xcode beta 6

The framework still not be embed in Xcode14.0?

Try the recently released 14.1 beta.

My understanding is that the Background Assets framework missed the iOS 16.0 boat and had to board iOS 16.1 instead.
