In Xcode 16.0 beta 3 (16A5202i) I'm trying to add a framework to a target.

I'm clicking the '+' button under Target > General > Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content:

When I do this, the dialog that appears doesn't list any frameworks:

I feel like I'm doing something wrong or missing something obvious. This issue is easy to reproduce by creating a new project in Xcode.

I tried reverting using Xcode 15 to add the framework that way, but Xcode 15 is unable to load the project file that Xcode 16 wrote.

Incidentally, Add Other > Add Package Dependency has no effect when selected:

Assuming this is a bug I should submit feedback about, is there another method I can use in the meantime to add a framework to my target so I can continue working?

This is blocking development.

Thank you for any help you provide.

It seems like the functionality was working in Xcode 16 beta 2 and has regressed in betas 3 and 4. This issue can be quite disruptive, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you could file a bug report.

Please be specific when filing; it would also be helpful if the report included information about the project type, frameworks used, etc.

Once you open the bug report, please post the FB number here for my reference.

Accepted Answer

I've discovered that one workaround is to temporarily load your project in Xcode 16.0 beta 2 and use that to add the frame to the target, and then switch back to Xcode 16.0 beta 4.

In the case of a local Swift package, another workaround, using Xcode 16.0 beta 4, is to add the package at the project level using the UI normally intended for adding remote packages, but selecting the local package option, and also selecting the option to add the package to a specific target. Once this is complete, remove the package from the project. The local package will remain associated with the target.

I've found two workarounds for Xcode 16.0 beta issues. You can temporarily load your project in Xcode 16.0 beta 2 to add the frame to the target, then switch back to Xcode 16.0 beta 4. For local Swift packages in Xcode 16.0 beta 4, add the package at the project level using the UI for remote packages, select the local package option, add it to a specific target, then remove the package from the project. The local package will remain associated with the target. For more details, refer to this guide on managing packages in Xcode.
