XPC test bundle on Xcode 5

Question

I have Cocoa application with custom XPC service. I would like to create tests for that XPC, so I created new test bundle for that and created some tests. But when I run those tests (whose doesn't show any error in Xcode), IDE is not able to link them to tested XPC bundle. Of course I set Target Dependency to my XPC bundle but it still doesn't work.

I think that problem will be at Test host settings but I'm not good at Xcode configuration. I also studied Apple's tutorial (Daemons and Services Programming Guide) but it doesn't mention testing XPC bundle. Neither their example SandboxedFetch.

Have you made any progress on this front? I'm also interested in a solution to this problem. – Infix

Debugging of XPC services in Xcode 5 is in a similar state. Attempts to attach to the XPC process crashes Xcode. I have filed a bug report for the latter issue and recommend for you to do the same for XPC unit testing integration. – Throne

On Xcode 7, I managed to test my XPC by adding it in the Copy file build phase of my test target (specifying XPC Services for destination.

Did you figure out how to make the test coverage work under this arrangement? – Cynthea
