To whomever this may concern, We are investigating a BLE firmware-update compatibility issue affecting a legacy Nordic nRF51 DFU bootloader on a subset of iPads. We are seeking guidance on whether there are known CoreBluetooth or Bluetooth-controller differences across recent iPad hardware that could affect reconnection to Bluetooth LE connectable directed advertisements. Background Our accessory uses a legacy Nordic nRF51 DFU flow: The iPad is connected to the accessory’s normal application firmware. The app requests entry into DFU mode. The accessory disconnects normally. The accessory restarts into its bootloader. The bootloader sends connectable directed advertisements targeted at the iPad that initiated DFU. The iPad is expected to reconnect, after which the firmware transfer begins. Observed behavior On working iPads, the BLE trace shows: Application disconnect → accessory begins connectable directed advertising → iPad sends BLE connection indication → bootloader connection succeeds → DFU begins On affected iPads, the trace shows: Application disconnect → accessory begins the same connectable directed advertising → no connection indication from the iPad → DFU cannot proceed The accessory is advertising to the current resolvable address of the connected iPad. The bootloader starts directed advertising at nearly identical timing in both working and failing traces, approximately 456 ms after disconnect. The initial disconnect is normal in both cases: LL_TERMINATE_IND / Remote User Terminated Connection / reason 0x13 The problem occurs only after the accessory begins directed advertising. It seems like the iPad might be able to receive and listen to directed advertisement, however it seems to be unable to send back a connection indication. Hardware correlation observed so far We observed a correlation with Bluetooth controller vendor information visible in our BLE captures: FORMAT FOR FOLLOWING LINES Result -> Example device -> Observed controller vendor DFU succeeds -> iPad Air, 5th generation -> Broadcom DFU succeeds -> Other tested iPads, including one iPad with an A16-class platform -> Broadcom DFU fails -> One affected iPad with an A16-class platform -> MediaTek We want to be careful not to overstate this result: We have tested only one affected MediaTek-based iPad so far. The model string is MD3Y4LL/A and its current iOS version 26.6.1. The functioning Broadcomm iPads A16 we have tested that did not fail DFU process have model string MD7F4KN/A. The other iPad models we tested DFU on (which were all successful, albeit none of them were MediaTek chips, they were all Broadcomm) were: MRJN2KN/A, MM9C3KN/A, MQ6J3KN/A, MM6T3KN/A (the latter with iOS 26.6.1 as well, suggesting it is not necessarily an iPad OS version issue) We have not found a second MediaTek-based iPad to determine whether the behavior reproduces across that hardware. We initially suspected that recent non-cellular iPads might consistently use MediaTek, but this was disproved by the iPad Air, 5th generation we tested (MM9C3KN/A): it had no cellular connection and used Broadcom, and DFU worked normally. Therefore, we do not conclude that the issue is caused by MediaTek hardware. We only see a correlation worth investigating. What we have ruled out The target firmware image is not involved; failure occurs before any firmware data is transferred. The accessory reaches bootloader mode and sends directed advertisements at the expected time. The iOS Nordic DFU library already calls CoreBluetooth’s normal reconnect API: centralManager.connect(peripheral, options: nil) iOS does not expose an API allowing an app to create or send a raw Link Layer CONNECT_IND; therefore the application cannot directly work around controller-level connection behavior. The affected iPad does not provide a normal scanner/discovery callback for this directed bootloader advertisement, so matching by name or service UUID is not available as an application-layer workaround. Questions . Are there known CoreBluetooth, iPadOS, or Bluetooth-controller differences that can affect handling of BLE connectable directed advertisements, particularly when an accessory directs advertisements to a central using a resolvable private address? . Is there a recommended CoreBluetooth pattern for reconnecting to a known peripheral after it restarts into a legacy bootloader that uses directed advertising? . Does CBCentralManager.connect(_:options:) queue a pending connection request that should be serviced when a matching directed advertisement is received? If so, are there circumstances in which this behavior differs by iPad hardware or controller implementation? . Is there any public diagnostic information, entitlement, or supported API that could help us determine why a pending CoreBluetooth connection request does not result in a connection attempt in this scenario? . Does Apple recommend a specific compatibility approach for legacy BLE DFU bootloaders that use directed advertising, beyond updating the accessory firmware to use ordinary undirected advertising? . We can provide packet captures from both the working and failing cases, including timestamps, directed-advertisement target addresses, and the absence/presence of the subsequent connection indication. Thank you for any guidance on whether this is expected behavior, a known compatibility limitation, or if there is anything we could try on our end to hopefully resolve this issue.

I’ve retested Sidecar after updating both my MacBook Pro to the current macOS 27 release and my iPad to the current iPadOS 27 release. When the iPad is connected through Sidecar and set to Use As → Extended Display, macOS does not offer a Rotation control for that display. Compatible conventional external displays do expose rotation options in System Settings → Displays. Physically rotating the iPad by 90° also leaves the Sidecar display in landscape orientation. This is consistently reproducible for me: Connect the iPad to the Mac using Sidecar. Select Use As → Extended Display. Open System Settings → Displays and select the iPad. Observe that no Rotation control is available. Physically rotate the iPad 90° into portrait orientation. Actual result: Sidecar remains connected and otherwise functions normally, but the iPad display remains landscape. No 90°/270° Rotation option is available, and physically rotating the iPad does not change the extended-display orientation. Expected result: An iPad used as an extended Sidecar display should be able to operate in portrait orientation, either automatically using the iPad’s orientation sensor or through 90°/270° Rotation controls in macOS Displays. I’ve filed the current issue through Feedback Assistant as FB24897273. I also previously filed the related portrait/full-screen limitation as FB22051066. Given that iPad natively supports portrait orientation, macOS already supports 90°/270° rotation for external displays, and Sidecar presents the iPad as an extended Mac display, the absence of any portrait option seems like a significant and increasingly conspicuous limitation rather than an inherent hardware constraint. This is particularly difficult to understand now that macOS/iPadOS 27 have substantially expanded Sidecar interaction. Is there any technical or platform constraint that prevents Sidecar from supporting the iPad’s native portrait orientation? If not, I hope FB24897273 can be considered for the appropriate Sidecar/display engineering team. I’m happy to provide additional reproduction details or diagnostics if useful.

We are currently adapting our app to Liquid Glass. It's mainly written with UIKit. One of the questions is about the tab bar. We advocate the business to go with Apple's recommendation to display it at the top with only labels on iPad. The question now is this: on iPhone Duo, in the inner screen, in Portrait mode, where is the tab bar displayed ? We know from the Tech Talks and Human Interface Guidelines that is is the only pose when it's horizontal (as opposed to vertical on the side). But is it displayed at the top like on iPad (with only labels) or at the bottom like on iPhone (with icons and / or labels) ?

Bug: Software Update UI state desync on iPadOS 27.0 RC (build 24A435) Reproduction Steps Complete downloading OTA system update, Software Update page shows Chinese localized button "现在更新" (Update Now). Go to iPad Storage and delete the downloaded OTA package. Navigate back to Software Update page immediately, NO reboot and NO manual page refresh. Expected Behavior The UI should detect that the local update file was removed, and switch the button to "下载" (Download). Actual Behavior The interface keeps displaying the "现在更新" button. The UI state is out of sync with the real existence of the downloaded OTA file. I did NOT tap the update button to prevent potential system risk; the state inconsistency itself is the bug. Full screen recording and sysdiagnose logs were submitted in Feedback Assistant report: FB24741350 I want to check whether other developers have encountered the same bug on iPadOS 27.0 RC. This UI inconsistency may confuse end users and bring potential safety misunderstanding, so I hope this issue can be prioritized and fixed before the official 27.0 release.

I am using an 11-inch M4 iPad Pro. I first noticed severe battery drain while the iPad was idle. After checking the device, I found that several unrelated functions had stopped working at the same time: Front and rear cameras show a black screen Face ID does not work LiDAR does not work Flashlight does not work Apple Pencil is not detected, paired, or charged through the magnetic charging area Apple Diagnostics at the Genius Bar also reported failures involving the front camera, rear camera, Face ID, and LiDAR. I was told at the Genius Bar that, because the device is outside the standard warranty period, it would be treated as an out-of-warranty hardware failure and would not qualify for free repair. There has been no drop or liquid damage. I have already performed multiple force restarts, updated iPadOS, and factory-reset the device several times, but the symptoms remain unchanged. What seems unusual is that several functionally separate systems became unavailable at nearly the same time, together with severe standby battery drain. Because of that, I am wondering whether this could be related to embedded software, firmware, power management, or low-level hardware control rather than several independent hardware components coincidentally failing at once. Has anyone seen a similar issue on an M4 iPad Pro, or is there any known firmware or system-level failure that could cause this pattern?

On macOS 26 I can see the dividers when I open my Help menu: However, on iPadOS 26 the dividers don't appear: I am simply using Divider() to separate my menu bar items in my CommandGroup. iPadOS does support dividers as I can see them for the system generated Edit menu but for some reason it's not working here. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong with the iPadOS implementation?

Could we install a feature that allows for me to markup any window/screen. Similar to screen shot and markup but I don't want to screenshot and it also reduces the writing space. This would be helpful and if i could easily turn this feature on/off by shaking the pencil. Also it would to have like a quick clear page markup eraser.

Hello， We’re seeing an iPad-specific Launch Screen issue related to multitasking window sizes. Environment Device: iPad (iPadOS 26) Device orientation: Landscape App is launched in a small window where the app window is portrait-shaped (width < height) Issue When the iPad is in landscape but the app is launched as a portrait-shaped small window, the LaunchScreen.storyboard appears to be rendered/layouted as landscape, not matching the actual window geometry. As a result, the Launch Screen content is clipped / partially missing (we see blank/empty area at the bottom during launch). After the app finishes launching, our first view controller uses the correct window size and the UI looks fine — the problem is mainly during the Launch Screen phase. What we checked LaunchScreen.storyboard uses Auto Layout and is expected to adapt to screen/window size. This only reproduces when the device orientation and the app window aspect ratio don’t match (landscape device + portrait-shaped app window, or vice versa). When device orientation and window shape are aligned, the Launch Screen displays correctly. Question Is it expected that iPadOS renders LaunchScreen.storyboard based on the interface orientation / size class rather than the actual window bounds in multitasking scenarios? If not expected, what is the recommended way to ensure the Launch Screen matches the app’s actual window size/aspect ratio at launch (without using code, since Launch Screen is static)? Are there any additional diagnostics or recommended steps to help us investigate and confirm the root cause (e.g., specific logs, APIs/values to capture at launch such as UIWindowScene bounds, interfaceOrientation, size classes, or any guidance on how Launch Screen snapshots are chosen/cached in multitasking)? Thank you.

Hi everyone I'm experiencing an issue with iPadOS 26 regarding multi-touch gesture detection. When performing a quick four-finger gesture (tap and swipe), the system often fails to recognize the input. This especially affects multi-touch gestures, such as rhythm games with difficult levels. Steps to Reproduce: Place four fingers on the screen. Perform a quick tap or a quick horizontal swipe (like the one used to switch apps). Observe whether the gesture is ignored or detected inconsistently. Expected Behavior: 4-finger multitouch gestures should be recognized regardless of gesture speed, just like previous iPadOS versions. Actual Behavior: Gestures fail to be detected when executed quickly—same gestures still work, and miss notes in rhythm games.

Environment: iOS 26; iPad Mini/Air/Pro Problem: In a TextField, I am using a keyboard with the type .decimalPad. When I initially tap into the TextField, the "popover" keyboard (i.e. the decimalPad) shows up and focusses the TextField. However, when I click outside the TextField (to dismiss the keyboard), the TextField is still focussed (the keyboard was dismissed though). When reentering in the TextField, another keyboard (from the bottom of the screen) appears (most likely .numeric). Does anybody know how to solve this? What I already tried: I tried listening to the dismissal of the keyboard to manually set the FocusState to nil. However, the dismissal of the "popover/decimal" keyboard is not recognized as such a dismissal. I also tried to build a custom component out of that, but then I lose the TextField behavior, conflicting with HIG.

On iPadOS 26.x, multiple users of our iPad app report that handwriting English words with Apple Pencil (Scribble) into a text field produces garbled output full of accented / non‑English characters instead of the English letters they wrote. Example of what shows up when a user handwrites a normal English word: -4ęśïćïá. Those accented letters (Polish / Spanish / French‑style diacritics: ę ś ï ć á) are not what the user wrote. Key facts from the reports Happens only on iPadOS 26.x — not seen on earlier iPadOS versions. Happens only with Apple Pencil / Scribble handwriting. Typing into the same field with the on‑screen keyboard is fine. The same users say Scribble works normally in other apps. The affected field is restricted to English‑only input; when that English‑only restriction is turned off, Scribble recognizes the handwriting correctly again. So the trigger appears to be Scribble writing into an English‑restricted field on iPadOS 26. No third‑party keyboards or input methods are involved. Steps (as reported by users) iPad on iPadOS 26.x with an Apple Pencil. Open the spelling/answer screen that has an English‑only input field. Handwrite an English word with the Pencil. The field fills with accented gibberish instead of the word. Question Is this a known iPadOS 26 Scribble regression? Is anyone else seeing garbled / accented output when Scribble writes into an English‑restricted text field? Any workaround short of removing the English‑only restriction? Environment Multiple end users, all on iPadOS 26.x (exact builds / iPad models being collected). I'm the developer and haven't been able to reproduce locally yet, so this is based on user reports.

Our Flutter app has been rejected by App Review 4 times with this description: "Login screen cleared the email and password fields when we attempted to enter the demo account details, preventing us from logging in." Review environment: Device: iPad Air 11-inch (M3) OS: iPadOS 26.4.2 Flutter version: 3.41.4 State management: GetX We cannot reproduce this on: Real iPhone (iOS 18.x) — works fine iPad simulator (iPadOS 26.3.1) — works fine Our TextEditingControllers are created inside a GetX controller, not inside build(), so they survive widget rebuilds. Questions: Has anyone seen text fields clearing or not retaining input specifically on iPad with iPadOS 26? Are there any known Flutter issues with text input on iPadOS 26 that could cause this? Is there anything different about how iPad handles text input vs iPhone that we should be aware of? Any help appreciated — this is blocking our App Store approval.

I'm building an app with a UISplitViewController as the base, with the main content being a UITabBarController. I'm targeting iOS 26+ and using UIKit. I've customised the tabbar on iOS to have a different font family and size, and used some custom images. Running the same app on iPad, the tabbar moves to the top of the screen, ignores ALL the appearance proxy settings and strips out the images. Its now just giant floating text. Also noticed in portrait mode when the side bar from the split view is open, it compresses the width of the tab bar down to only show 2 elements at a time, with this weird custom scroll thing to move to the rest of the tabs. If the text wasn't so massive, maybe it could fit more. I really hate every inch of this thing. Its looks ugly and functions bizarrely. Why does it ignore all the tabbar appearance settings, and how can I customise it to add icons back with smaller text? Ideally I don't want to use one of the hacks to force it to think its compact mode to bring back the old tabbar, as i'm relying on traits already to fix some SplitView annoyances and don't want those to break. But would love to have the old tab bar style. Are there any settings or toggles that I can use?

Hello Apple Developer Support, After updating my iPad to iPadOS Beta 27, the Notes+ app has started crashing frequently. This issue did not happen before the system update. The app often crashes when I open notes, edit content, or try to use files inside Notes+. Another serious issue is that I cannot properly download or import files from iCloud Drive into Notes+. When I try to select a file from iCloud Drive and add it to Notes+, the process may fail, freeze, or cause Notes+ to crash. This has made Notes+ very difficult to use on iPadOS Beta 27. I rely on Notes+ for study notes, file organization, and daily productivity, so this problem has a big impact on my normal use. Steps to reproduce: 1.Use an iPad running iPadOS Beta 27. Open the Notes+ app. 2.Open or edit an existing note. 3.Try to import or attach a file from iCloud Drive. 4.Notes+ may freeze, fail to import the file, or crash. Expected result: Notes+ should run normally, and files from iCloud Drive should be imported into Notes+ successfully. Actual result: Notes+ crashes frequently, and iCloud Drive files cannot be imported reliably. This issue started after updating to iPadOS Beta 27. Please check the compatibility between iPadOS Beta 27, Notes+, and iCloud Drive file importing. Thank you.

Hi there, Hope you are all well. I would like to know on how I am able to develop/build for both current software, like iOS 26 and iOS 27 at the same time. If it is possible, please let me know how. This is also my first WWDC as a developer, so I may have many questions. Sorry in advance lol. Thanks, Jason

I have a custom input view in my app which is .focusable(). It behaves similar to a TextField, where it must be focused in order to be used. This works fine on all platforms including iPad, except when when an external keyboard is connected (magic keyboard), in which case it can't be focused anymore and becomes unusable. Is there a solution to this, or a workaround? My view is very complex, so simple solutions like replacing it with a native view isn't possible, and I must be able to pragmatically force it to focus. Here's a very basic example replicating my issue. Non of the functionality works when a keyboard is connected: struct FocusableTestView: View { @FocusState private var isRectFocused: Bool var body: some View { VStack { // This text field should focus the custom input when pressing return: TextField("Enter text", text: .constant("")) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .onSubmit { isRectFocused = true } .onKeyPress(.return) { isRectFocused = true return .handled } // This custom "input" should focus itself when tapped: Rectangle() .fill(isRectFocused ? Color.accentColor : Color.gray.opacity(0.3)) .frame(width: 100, height: 100) .overlay( Text(isRectFocused ? "Focused" : "Tap me") ) .focusable(true, interactions: .edit) .focused($isRectFocused) .onTapGesture { isRectFocused = true print("Focused rectangle") } // The focus should be able to be controlled externally: Button("Toggle Focus") { isRectFocused.toggle() } .buttonStyle(.bordered) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity, alignment: .center) } }

I have encountered the following issue on iPadOS. Has anyone experienced this issue or reported it before? Steps to Reproduce Enable Windowed Apps mode in Settings. Launch the Settings app and another app (App X), and display both in windowed mode. Use the Settings app to completely cover App X (App X becomes inactive at this point). From the Settings app, enable Full Screen Apps mode. Bring App X to the foreground. Expected Result App X becomes active when brought to the foreground. Actual Result Even after bringing App X to the foreground, it immediately becomes inactive. The issue persists even if App X is restarted. To resolve the issue, it is necessary to either restart the iPad or switch back to Windowed Apps mode. Verified OS Versions iPadOS 26.5: Reproducible iPadOS 26.4.2: Reproducible iPadOS 26.2: Not reproducible iPadOS 26.0.1: Not reproducible Additional Information According to the console logs, App X appears to remain inactive because the deactivation reason "sceneOverlap" persists.

Is there a safeAreaInsets equivalent that only tracks system bars (tab bars, status bars, side bars, toolbars, and navigation bars) and is not affected by notches? I'm asking this because the iPadOS tab bar can appear either on the top, bottom, or left (modally or non-modally) in various configurations, including sidebarAdaptable and when the window size is small on iPadOS; the tab bar's frame is not really reliable in this case, and while the safe area insets works, it also includes the notches / rounded window corners...

The app crashes when using EAAccessoryManager.showBluetoothAccessoryPicker(withNameFilter:) to connect to a Bluetooth accessory in a multi-accessory scenario. The crash occurs immediately after selecting an accessory from the picker UI. Steps to Reproduce: Ensure a Bluetooth accessory (Accessory A) is already connected to the iPhone/iPad and is visible in Bluetooth settings. Launch the app. Initiate a connection flow that presents the Bluetooth accessory picker using EAAccessoryManager.showBluetoothAccessoryPicker(withNameFilter:). Ensure another compatible accessory (Accessory B) is available and visible in the picker. Select Accessory B from the picker to connect. After connection, simulate a disconnect of Accessory B (e.g., power cycle or remove battery). Attempt to reconnect Accessory B by triggering the same picker flow again. Select Accessory B from the picker. Result: The accessory connects successfully at the system level. The app crashes immediately after selecting the accessory from the picker (during dismissal). Reproducibility: Occurs consistently under the described multi-accessory scenario. Not observed when only a single accessory is present.
