Common Issues

Problem: Parsaa cannot detect Xcode or interact with it.Solution:
  1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility
  2. Make sure Parsaa is listed and the toggle is enabled
  3. If Parsaa is not listed, click the + button and add it manually
  4. If it is listed but not working, remove it and re-add it
  5. Restart Parsaa after making changes
Parsaa requires Accessibility permissions to observe your Xcode session. Without this, most features will not work.
Problem: Parsaa does not see your open Xcode project.Solution:
  1. Make sure Xcode is open with a workspace or project loaded
  2. Check that Accessibility permissions are granted (see above)
  3. Restart Parsaa
Parsaa detects Xcode through macOS Accessibility APIs. It needs an active workspace or project. Opening a single file is not enough.
Problem: Messages fail or return errors.Solution:
  1. Check your internet connection
  2. If you use BYOK, verify your API keys are valid
  3. Check if you have remaining credits (Settings → Account → Billing & Usage)
  4. Try switching to a different model
  5. Check the AI provider’s status page for outages:
If one provider is experiencing issues, switch to a different model from another provider to continue working.
Problem: AI takes a long time to respond.Solution:
  • Frontier models and higher reasoning effort take longer. Try a faster model or a lower reasoning effort
  • Check your internet connection speed
  • For local models, ensure your Mac has sufficient RAM for the model size
  • Large project contexts increase response time, so try being more specific in your request
Problem: Cannot connect to Ollama or LM Studio.Solution:
  1. Verify Ollama or LM Studio is running on your Mac
  2. Check the local server is accessible:
    • Ollama default: localhost:11434
    • LM Studio default: localhost:1234
  3. Ensure you have pulled/downloaded at least one model
  4. Verify Parsaa’s endpoint configuration matches the server address
See the Local Models guide for detailed setup instructions.
Problem: The agent isn’t finding relevant code by meaning.Solution:
  1. Enable Code Indexing for the project in Settings → Project → Code Indexing
  2. Wait for the initial index to finish. The progress pill shows status
  3. Check that your project has source files to index
  4. Re-run indexing from the Code Indexing settings if needed
