Xcode 26 still closes my project structure in the project navigator 🤬
Entire pieces of Xcode’s test infrastructure stopped working on just about every project I work on in the last 6 months. It’s not fixed in Xcode 26.
I don’t like being negative (no, really, I don’t!), but I am so burned out by the state of the tooling on Apple’s platforms.

Anyone able to install iOS 26.0 Beta 7/8 SDK into Xcode 26.0 Beta 6?
I've tried both the Settings / Components and Devices & Simulators windows without success. Internet searches are not successful either.
Thanks!
@Greg There are no changes to the SDK, so you don’t need a newer SDK. Simulator is still older build, so you should develop on device with the latest build.
