Hi everyone,
Since updating to Xcode 16.1 on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, I’m having issues with my app not launching on my iOS device. The app finishes compiling in Xcode without any errors, but it never appears to launch on the device—it either gets stuck indefinitely or doesn’t show any progress on the device screen.
Details of the Issue:
Xcode shows that the app is launching, but there’s no progress on the device. Tried on multiple devices with the same result.
Troubleshooting Steps I’ve Tried:
- Cleaned the build folder and deleted derived data.
- Verified the deployment target matches the device’s iOS version.
- Checked provisioning profiles and code signing settings.
- Restarted both Xcode and my device.
- Tried connecting over both USB and Wi-Fi.
Workaround Found: Unpairing the device from Xcode, pairing it again, then turning off Wi-Fi on the device before building allows the app to launch successfully.
Has anyone else experienced this with Xcode 16.1? Any tips on a more permanent solution or other troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
