UIScene warning in Xcode CLIENT OF UIKIT REQUIRES UPDATE: This process does not adopt UIScene lifecycle. This will become an assert in a future version. #167267
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Make sure you're using Xcode 16.3
- Create a new flutter app
- Run the app on a physical device (Tested on iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad M1 Air. Requires iOS 18.4.1+)
- When Xcode opens, check the logs
Expected results
I wouldn't expect the log to appear in the console or at least, I hadn't noticed it prior to Xcode 16.3
Actual results
The log below appears in Xcode.
CLIENT OF UIKIT REQUIRES UPDATE: This process does not adopt UIScene lifecycle. This will become an assert in a future version.
FlutterView implements focusItemsInRect: - caching for linear focus movement is limited as long as this view is on screen.
flutter: The Dart VM service is listening on http://127.0.0.1:53211/xwswRNYlr8A=/
App is being debugged, do not track this hang
Hang detected: 0.40s (debugger attached, not reporting)
App is being debugged, do not track this hang
Hang detected: 0.42s (debugger attached, not reporting)
Message from debugger: killed
Code sample
The counter app should suffice for this.

I tested a UIKit and SwiftUI example and didn't see similar logs. Perhaps the sample I used had an effect but I'm not certain. The UIKit sample is pasted below. The Hang detected message also appears in the native iOS sample apps.
UIKit sample
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupUI()
}
func setupUI() {
// Create a label
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Hello, World!"
label.textAlignment = .center
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false // Enable Auto Layout
// Add the label to the view
view.addSubview(label)
// Center the label horizontally and vertically
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor)
])
}
