I have a Swift Package Manager module with some SwiftUI files that I was using Previews without issues in Xcode 15.2. When I upgraded to Xcode 15.3, it fails with “Cannot preview in this file. Unexpected error occurred”. When I click to get more info, this is the error: == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: HumanReadableSwiftError BuildError: failedToGenerateThunkInfo(could not generate preview info: noTargetBuildGraph) Is anyone experiencing the same problems? My preview, which lives in a SPM package, works totally fine in Xcode 15.2, but fails in Xcode 15.3. Any ideas for how to fix it? I've tried deleting DerivedData, resetting package caches, clean building. So frustrating seeing these regression issues popping up still. I filed FB13678356 but it was quickly marked as "Investigation Complete - Unable to diagnose with current information" but there was no request for what further information I could provide! I attached a full sysdiagnose and error log! Would also note, that when I revert back to Xcode 15.2, the previews go back to working...

I keep getting the error: "Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate as the parent app. Verify the embedded binary target's code sign settings match the parent app's." I don't know why. The only thing I can think of is that my iPhone is signed into a different Apple ID than the one I'm using for my Xcode signing. But I'm not sure because I can't find any info about it online.

I'm trying to preview a SwiftUI view that resides in a local Swift package. I have the Swift package selected as the current scheme, so all the proper dependencies are available and the build succeeds. But I see this message in the Preview window: Cannot show preview: check whether the preview is compiled for the current scheme and OS of the device used for previewing How do I ensure the preview is compiled for a particular scheme and device OS? I updated MacOS to 14.3.1 and Xcode to 15.3 in the hopes that that might fix this issue, but it did not.

Building in visionOS and one of my Swift UI views keeps causing Xcode to crash. The root issue is within the preview code, stuck on updating the preview code to prevent Xcode from crashing. When I run the simulator the app works perfectly, no bugs or issues. Any advice on how to update the preview code would be very helpful :) import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct BrandImage: View { @State private var currentIndex: Int = 0 @Environment(\.openWindow) private var openWindow @EnvironmentObject var sharedAppState: SharedAppState var brand: [BrandEcommData] var initialBrand: BrandEcommData init(brand: [BrandEcommData], initialBrand: BrandEcommData) { self.brand = brand self.initialBrand = initialBrand if let initialIndex = brand.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == initialBrand.id}) { _currentIndex = State(initialValue: initialIndex) } } var body: some View { HStack(spacing: 0) { ZStack { ForEach(0..<brand.count, id: \.self) { index in if index == currentIndex { VStack { Text(brand[index].brand) .padding(.top, 5) brand[index].image .resizable() .scaledToFit() } .transition(.scale) } } HStack { Button(action: { withAnimation { self.currentIndex = (self.currentIndex - 1 + brand.count) % brand.count sharedAppState.currentModelId = brand[currentIndex].id } }) { Image(systemName: "arrow.left.circle.fill") .font(.largeTitle) .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) } .padding(.leading, 20) Spacer() Button(action: { withAnimation { self.currentIndex = (self.currentIndex + 1) % brand.count sharedAppState.currentModelId = brand[currentIndex].id } }) { Image(systemName: "arrow.right.circle.fill") .font(.largeTitle) .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) } .padding(.trailing, 20) } VStack { HStack { Spacer() Button(action: { openWindow(id: "volumetric") }) { Image(systemName: "cube.transparent") .font(.title) .padding() .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) } } Spacer() } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) Rectangle() .frame(width: 2) .foregroundStyle(.linearGradient( colors: [.black, .gray], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) VStack { Text(brand[currentIndex].name) .font(.title2) Text(brand[currentIndex].itemDetail) .font(.subheadline) Text(brand[currentIndex].itemDescription) .padding() Text(brand[currentIndex].price) } } .onAppear { sharedAppState.currentModelId = initialBrand.id } } } #Preview { if let initialBrand = ecommdata?.first { BrandImage(brand: ecommdata!, initialBrand: initialBrand) } else { Text("Unable to load 3D Asset") } }

I'm new to Xcode, and I'm learning using the apple swiftUI tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui/creating-and-combining-views I did the first few steps, but I can't get the simulator preview to work. My mac and Xcode are updated, but I can't it to load. Everything works fine when I do a mac project. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else having issues in Xcode preview where when you tap on a button to open a volume window nothing appears in the Xcode preview window? For example, if you download the Hello World Xcode project and try to open the globe volume after tapping the toggle button, the globe volume window never opens. Running the latest version of Xcode 15.3 beta.

Does an 'archive build' require 'preview content'? I've put swift source files into 'Preview Content' directories - one directory for the top-level App and one for an embedded framework. An 'archive build' fails, complaining about the code in a #Preview block. #Preview { // the archive build fails to find this `default` ?? let controller = PersistenceControllerTopLevelPreview.default let user = controller.user ... The framework has its 'Preview Context' specified in the Development Assets; same with the top-level App.

Is the preview set to read-only mode in Xcode 15? Drag and drop of any library items to preview canvas doesn't work. Is this feature removed in Xcode 15? (I don't want to believe that it was so helpful)

Hello, I am a UIKit developer and I would like to try out SwiftUI. Unfortunately, my previews don't load. My situation is like the one described in this blog post: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/704036. Unfortunately I can't update Xcode like that developer did. What I've tried: quitting and restarting Xcode, restarting my computer, resetting the simulator, deleting the derived data folder, creating new projects without storage options, test bundles or source control, editing the content view of the initial Hello World file. To be clear, I've just started learning about SwiftUI, just yesterday evening, and the previews have never loaded. Is the problem solvable? If so, how?

Whenever we include the mergeable configuration on an xcframework which contains a SwiftUI preview, the preview can't compile. That's because it is trying to keep the dynamic configuration but on a binary type that is not a dynamic library. It fails with the error: Linking failed: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 1d: -make_mergeable can only be used when creating a dynamic library clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) That's only happening when we add the preview.

Hello, Very recently, the following code has automatically appeared at the bottom of three of my SwiftUI View files: @available(iOS 17.0, macOS 14.0, tvOS 17.0, visionOS 1.0, watchOS 10.0, *) struct $s10Accent_Ace33_0BADA584A03144EFDAB57154E6FD3FBALl7PreviewfMf_15PreviewRegistryfMu_: DeveloperToolsSupport.PreviewRegistry { static let fileID: String = "Accent_Ace/HistoryView.swift" static let line: Int = 47 static let column: Int = 1 static func makePreview() throws -> DeveloperToolsSupport.Preview { DeveloperToolsSupport.Preview { let randomWord1 = FetchWord.getRandomWord() let randomWord2 = FetchWord.getRandomWord() @State var randomWords = [Word(word: randomWord1.0, IPA: randomWord1.1, lineNumber: randomWord1.2), Word(word: randomWord2.0, IPA: randomWord2.1, lineNumber: randomWord2.2)] HistoryView(words: $randomWords) } } } This is from one of my files but it's very similar in the other two. It seems to have something to do with my previews. The problem is that this code generates an error: Ambiguous use of 'init(_:traits:body:)'. My previews worked just fine before the auto-generated code appeared, so I tried deleting it. However, it automatically comes back no matter how many times I get rid of it. It's preventing me from building my App Playground, so I can't run the app or even see the previews. Does anyone know how to get rid of it or fix the error? Thanks for the help!

I've setup a NavigationLink so users can tap on the image and they're taken to another view, in this case "FenderExperience". I can't for the life of me figure out how to make this oval bar behind the image disappear. Is this an Xcode preview issue? I'm running Xcode 15.2 struct BrandImage: View { var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { NavigationStack { Text("Ralph Lauren") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("RL") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) Text("Fender") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) NavigationLink(destination: FenderXperience()) { Image("Fender II") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 95) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) } Text("Burton") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("Burton") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) Text("Ray Ban") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("Ray Ban") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) Text("Levi's") .font(.title) .padding(.bottom, -5) Image("Levis II") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 300, height: 200) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 0) .stroke(Color.white, lineWidth: 2)) } } .padding(.leading, 50) } } #Preview { BrandImage() }

I have a CoreData model with two entities, 'User' and 'Player', that both use 'Person' as their 'Parent Entity'. While the App appears to work correctly in the simulator, including with CloudKit via NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, I get a crash in Xcode Previews: libswiftCore.dylib [ AGScoringModel/Persistence.swift:183: Fatal error: #init(inMemory:): Failed to load persistent stores:Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134110 "An error occurred during persistent store migration."

Something in my configuration for persistent container?

I am using the Observable macro and when I use @Environment property wrapper to instance my model the preview stop working. Sample code below my model Library import SwiftUI import Observation @Observable class Library { // ... } Now in my main app I created an instance of Library and add that instance to the environment @main struct BookReaderApp: App { @State private var library = Library() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { LibraryView() .environment(library) } } } Now if I want to retrieve the Library instance from any view using the @Environment property wrapper the preview stop working completely struct LibraryView: View { @Environment(Library.self) private var library var body: some View { List(library.books) { book in BookView(book: book) } } } #Preview { LibraryView() } Check the 2 screenshots below Any idea why this is happening? Is there any workaround? I am working with Xcode Version 15.2. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!
