Why #Xcode is spawning a full simulator in the background (via SimulatorTrampoline) even if you open just ONE .xib file by accident 😭

Does Interface Builder using Simulator in the background now or what?

This not only lights up all your CPU cores for a while but also consumes a gigabytes of RAM just for this - in addition to Xcode usual several gigabytes.

Wow. Nice list of devices in an Xcode Multiplatform app template. I'm happy to see that VisionOS (Apple Vision) is in there as well. 🥽

Meh, Xcode 26.4 requires Tahoe. I had hoped to survive until the fall on my nicer Sequoia. Will stay on 26.3 then for as long as possible.

So previously we learned that CloudKit push notifications are broken in iOS 26.4 (but allegedly fixed in 26.5 beta)

Here is another broken thing. You can not paste into iOS 26.4 simulator. This does NOT appear to be fixed in 26.5 simulator, I tried. This does not affect users but is very annoying to me as a developer. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/820393

A few tips about DTS - Apple's support for developers. 1/3

Start here: https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ This lists a lot of things to do before submitting a request. I charged ahead and submitted one anyway.

4 days later I got an email saying that “code level support” is handled through the Dev forum now. This included a very helpful link about writing a good post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756175

I submitted a forum post the next day, but maybe moderating took it out
