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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

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<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

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…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I do not recommend updating to Xcode 26.1 if you, like me, are relying on this flag.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
