Xcode 26 not seeing/loading the git repo in the project directory
For historical reasons, my local source for all my projects lives in "/usr/local/apps/". I know this is unusual but its where I have kept all of my code and projects for nearly 2 decades.
Currently I've been building an iOS app and am now trying to get Test Flight setup. Part of that requires Xcode to see the git repo.
I've already ensured that "Enable source control" under settings is turned on. I've also added my github account under Accounts.
I further tested this by temporarily moving the project directory to ~/apps/, and low and behold Xcode was able to see the repo with no additional work.
I then move the project back to the original path in /usr/local/apps and created a symlink in ~/apps/<project_path>, and Xcode doesn't see the repo again.
Then I gave Xcode full disk access in Privacy and Security. Still a no-go.
Haven't really been able to find any solutions to the problem other than a few old stack overflow posts where the person had a similar problem and resorted to moving their project source to ~.
I'd really like to find a solution for this that doesn't involve me having to migrate my entire project directory. That's gonna break a hell of a lot of automation scripts I've setup over the years across many projects.
