Hi, I have a set of Widgets that have worked flawlessly on Xcode 14 and iOS 16, both on Simulator and Device. With Xcode 15 beta (4), these widgets simply don't show up anymore on the iOS 17 Simulator, and I feel like I've tried everything.

Then again, building with the new Xcode 15 beta on any iOS 16 or 15 simulator works fine and the widgets are available. They're just gone on iOS 17.0.

When I add a new widget extension however it shows up immediately on the iOS 17 simulator. I've compared every single line on the Build Settings and couldn't find any difference there.

I have also updated the SiriKit Intent to an AppIntent with no success. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Or any clue on what I could have missed?

I am experiencing the same issue, the widget will work fine on iOS 16, but will not appear in the list on iOS 17. The behaviour is the same for Xcode 14 and Xcode 15 beta.

I just had a similar issue with Xcode 16 and iOS 18. Turns out I had updated the main app 'deployment target' to 18 but the widget to 18.1. You could install the app but the widget was missing from the widget search. I know olvrptz said his widget shows up on is simulator so this may not have been his issue, but just one to check in case it's yours.
