Resolving the Strideable Error in XCode After macOS Update: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you've recently updated your MacOS to Catalina and installed XCode 11.5, only to encounter a frustrating Strideable error, you're not alone. This issue arises when you try to run an app built on an older version of XCode after upgrading your system. Fortunately, there's a straightforward solution to this problem. In this guide, we'll explore the root cause of the error and guide you through resolving it effectively.

Understanding the Problem

After the update to macOS Catalina and XCode 11.5, you may have noticed errors related to the Strideable protocol in your Swift code. Particularly, you might be encountering messages such as:

Protocol 'Strideable' requires 'advanced(by:)' to be available in iOS 11.0.0 and newer

Protocol 'Strideable' requires 'distance(to:)' to be available in iOS 11.0.0 and newer

Before the update, your existing code included an extension for Date that successfully implemented the Strideable protocol without any issues:

However, upon launching your app after the update, it fails to compile, raising these protocol requirement errors.

The Solution

Step 1: Delete the Strideable Extension

The good news is that the fix for this issue is quite simple. The problem stems from an update in how the Strideable protocol is handled in the newer version of Swift/XCode. Deleting your custom Strideable extension will resolve the errors.

Open your project in XCode.

Locate the file that contains the Strideable extension for Date.

Remove the entire extension Date: Strideable section from your code.

Step 2: Test Your App

Once you've removed the extension, it’s crucial to test your app again:

Select your target device or simulator in XCode.

Click on the “Run” button.

Make sure that the app compiles and launches successfully without any Strideable errors.

Step 3: Validate the Functionality

Even though you've removed the Strideable extension, your app may still implement the desired functionality through other means. Ensure that your calendar features and user interactions remain intact.

Conclusion

Updating XCode and macOS can sometimes lead to unexpected issues in your existing projects, such as the Strideable error. Thankfully, as illustrated in this post, simply deleting your custom extension is often all it takes to resolve the issue and restore your app's functionality.
