Xcode 10 seems to break com.apple.commcenter.coretelephony.xpc

Question

I have upgraded to Xcode 10 on High Sierra and now the Rewarded Ad example project from AdMob complains that com.apple.commcenter.coretelephony.xpc is not working correctly.

Is there a new entitlement that I have to enable? I am searching for hours without any clue.

UPDATE: This only happens from the simulator. On the device it works fine. They must have added a new restriction.

Answer 1

Running this in Terminal made it go away:

xcrun simctl spawn booted log config --mode "level:off"  --subsystem com.apple.CoreTelephony

Answer 2

Well it's working on both the simulator and device in Xcode 10.2.

1. Add CoreTelephony.framework (Optional)

2. Executing the following command in Terminal:

   xcrun simctl spawn booted log config --mode "level:off" --subsystem 
   com.apple.CoreTelephony
   

3. From the Xcode menu open: Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme

   On your Environment Variables set OS_ACTIVITY_MODE = disable

4. Restart simulator

Answer 3

I found a workaround restarting the simulator.

Answer 4

For those who are experiencing this issue in real devices, linking CoreTelephony.framework to the project fixes the problem.

It does not fix it for the simulator, though.
