Cannot Attach Xcode to Fusion

[neil.mendoza]

API support seems super buggy. I switched to using C++ because Python editing is broken, followed these instructions for debugging...

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-ECC0A398-4D89-4776-A054-F7B432F7FCF6

...and get the following error when I try to attach Xcode to Fusion 360...

May i ask what was broken with python? were you using it with vscode? If so there is a known issue that has a simple workaround.

Thanks, I actually gave up on Python and wrote it in C++ debugging with a log file. Will try Python again next time I need to script something.

I have the same problem, porting our add-in from windows to Mac and can't debug. Is there still no solution to this?

Hi  @neil.mendoza , @rolandas_vegis , @Mattxer

I had the same problem with debugging my add-in on macOS Catalina (running on VirtualBox). Turning off SIP (or System Integrity Protection) solved it.

You should be very careful about disabling SIP, because it is one of the primary mechanisms which macOS uses to protect itself (it is introduced in El Capitan-2015). So remember to re-enable SIP when you've finished your task.

Is it possible that you don't have developer mode enabled? You can try running the following in a terminal:

sudo DevToolsSecurity -enable

Shot in the dark...

Hi @KrisKaplan 

Before turning off SIP I googled and found "sudo DevToolsSecurity -enable" and tried it. But in my case it did not work.

I also tried many other suggestions. Only after turning off SIP, Xcode was able to attach to Fusion 360 process. My macOS is running on VirtualBox. Perhaps for other cases enabling DevToolsSecurity will work.

Had developer mode enabled, didn't do anything. Disabling SIP, does indeed work, thanks.
