[Technical Questions] Can't run the tests - need password

[elsa-bismuth]

In what area do you have a technical challenge?

Xcode, Simulator & Previews

Description

When I press command + U to run the tests (or when I click the arrow to the left of the test I want to run), I am prompted to enter my computer password. However, after typing it 7 times (for my 7 tests) and pressing "Always allow", it doesn't do anything and doesn't run the tests. What can I do?

Reproduction

When I press command + U to run the tests (or when I click the arrow to the left of the test I want to run)

Expected behavior

Runs the tests

@elsa-bismuth Thank you for sharing your issue here!

Seems like something went wrong with your Xcode installation or there is a significant permissions error in accessing things in, e.g., the macOS keychain.

Can you try the following things to get started:

1. Can you double-check that you have selected an iOS Simulator as your destination at the top of your Xcode screen (e.g. something like iPhone 16 Pro)

2. Completely restart Xcode & your computer.
3. Open Keychain Access on your Mac and ensure that your "login" keychain is properly unlocked. You might want to lock and unlock it again.
4. Try to re-install the command line tools for Xcode: by typing xcode-select --install in your terminal.

Let us know if any of these steps already help you!
