We have minimum deployments set to iOS 15 in one of the app for both application and widget target.
When install app in simulator or real device using Xcode 15.4, it works fine in iOS15, iOS16, iOS17 and iOS18 beta.
When install app in simulator or real device, using Xcode 16 beta 6, it works fine in iOS16, iOS17 and iOS18 beta but in iOS 15, our app doesn't show in widget gallery.
I have the same issue. Mine until iOS 14 though.
Is there a solution? I also encountered this problem. I created a widget project in Xcode 15, but it crashed when I compiled it in Xcode 16 and the widget could not be found.
Same issue here. My app with widgets works perfectly fine when compiled with Xcode 15, but when compiled with Xcode 16, widgets no longer work on iOS 15 (they continue to work fine on iOS 17 and 18, not sure about iOS 16).
When trying to run on an actual iOS 15 device, there are loads of error messages in the console, including a crash with "Swift entry point not found".
I am experiencing the same issue with Xcode 16.0. I have tested my widget on iOS 15-18 simulators and iOS 15 and 18 physical devices. The widget only disappears on iOS 15.
same issues in xcode16.0 I can't use widgets on iOS15 and iOS16 on real phones and emulators, either my own projects or open source demos of multiple widgets downloaded from github.
Same problem, is doesn't show any error.
I’m having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution to this?
I encountered the same issue on iPhone 16.0.1 and 15.7, and the official intentionally blocked this feature
Now, I use Xcode 16 official version(downloaded from App Store) has the same problem. My App archived from Xcode 16 can not see Widget in iOS 15 device, but iOS 16/17/18 runs well. What should we do can fix this problem? Maybe it's Xcode 16 's bug.
Same issue here with Xcode 16 Release. Even fresh created iOS 15 project with widgets target added, won't show widgets in widgets list. Xcode 15 works fine
Same issue with Xcode 16.2 beta 16B5100e. It's still a problem for us because we need iOS 15 support for our widget.
Xcode 16.1 Release - problem still presents for iOS 15.7
With Xcode 16.1 Release and targeting the iOS 15.x simulator, trying to launch our widget extension from the extension-specific scheme, we get these errors in the Xcode debug console:
2024-10-28 19:08:00.977007-0400 OGWidget[57728:17357274] [PreviewsAgentExecutorLibrary] Calling provided entry point.

The exact same scheme invocation works fine with iOS 16, 17, 18 simulators.
We confirm what others are seeing too: our widgets simply do not appear in the gallery in iOS 15 (or earlier) as a result.
We will have to (temporarily?) move our minimum target SDK to iOS 16 in order to be able to release anything without breaking widgets for older users. (We have 1% of our users stuck on iOS 15 due to older device models that can't be upgraded.)
App Crash on Launch - Entry Point Not Found in Debug Dylib
I'm experiencing a crash when launching my widget app, and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. It

2024-11-06 11:57:06.651940+0900 WidgetTest[582:19000] [PreviewsAgentExecutorLibrary] Calling provided entry point.
The app crashes immediately upon launch. The crash appears to be related to __debug_dylib_swift_extension_entry_trampoline. The logs indicate that PreviewsAgentExecutorLibrary cannot find the debug dylib entry point. Specific messages include: "No debug dylib entry point name defined." "No entry point found. Checking for alias."
Additional Details:
The crash seems to be happening during the initialization of EXSwiftUI_Subsystem. The function abort_swift_entry_main_entry_point_not_found___debug_dylib suggests that the main entry point in the debug dylib is missing. The app uses SwiftUI and includes a widget extension. The issue persists even after disabling SwiftUI Previews and cleaning the build.
**Notably, like others have reported, this issue only occurs when using Xcode 16, and it only happens on devices running iOS 15. **
