Xcode 26.1
Xcode 26.1 includes Swift 6.2.1 and SDKs for iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, tvOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1. Xcode 26.1 supports on-device debugging in iOS 15 and later, tvOS 15 and later, watchOS 8 and later, and visionOS. Xcode 26.1 requires a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.6 or later.
It might be just me, but Xcode 26.1 seems to have thrown a grenade into the visionOS build process. Getting things to build with the right deployment targets and the correct images in the assets catalog is a mess
PSA: from what I’ve seen, Xcode 26.1 ignores your minimum deployment target for visionOS apps, and sets it to 26.1. Re-setting it to the intended version does seem to work. Saw this across a bunch of my projects. I haven’t checked if it does this for iOS or other platforms, but that’s a nasty bug to slip through…
Xcode 26.1 still doesn’t seem to let you get rid of the AI icon from the Toolbar, but hey at least it still works on Sequoia.
Xcode 26.1 seemingly removes the undocumented “—enable-icon-stack-fallback-generation=disabled” flag for actool, which enabled you to supply different icons for older systems.
It also means if you have lots of alternative icons, you’re back to extensive rebuild times as it re-renders all those icons every single time you touch your asset catalog.
I do not recommend updating to Xcode 26.1 if you, like me, are relying on this flag.

Not again..........
Can someone at Apple please show us on the doll where the icons hurt them? I genuinely don't understand why they are committing to this bad idea so very much.
