Too large clock size on iOS 26 Lock Screen.
The clock on the lock screen is too big. This is very noticeable on the serif font, the maximum size goes beyond the frame, and rests on the frame of the phone display. (Screenshot 1 & Screenshot 3) This is especially evident if you use the enlarged interface (using the Large Text function), here the time goes completely out of the frame and conflicts with the frame of the phone screen. (Screenshot 2 & Screenshot 4)

Images added in Reality Composer look darker in AR
I’m working with Reality Composer and noticed that images added directly to a scene appear significantly darker when viewed in AR. This seems different from how other objects in the scene respond to lighting, especially under varying real-world light conditions. Is this expected behavior? Are images treated with a different lighting model in Reality Composer? Is there any recommended way to get more consistent light response for image-based artworks?

App multiple times rejected - 4.3.0 Design: Spam
Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice or shared experiences regarding an app rejection under App Store Review Guideline 4.3(b) – Design – Spam. Our app was rejected and, after an appeal to the App Review Board, Apple maintained that the app “duplicates the content and functionality of similar apps in a saturated category.” We strongly disagree with this classification and are struggling to understand how Guideline 4.3(b) has been applied in our case. The app was developed as an original product: Custom-designed content (including original cards and interactions) A unique visual style and UI A distinct interaction flow focused on encouraging social interaction between users This was not a template-based or reskinned app, nor is it part of a series of similar submissions. We fully respect the App Store Review Guidelines and are open to making adjustments to better align with them. However, what we find difficult is the lack of specific, actionable feedback. We have not received clear guidance on which exact elements are considered duplicative or what changes would meaningfully address the concern. Some of the questions we are hoping the community can help with: In your experience, what typically triggers a 4.3(b) rejection in cases like this? Are there specific mechanics, terminology, or presentation choices that reviewers often interpret as problematic? Have others successfully resolved a 4.3(b) rejection without completely abandoning their app concept? We have already invested significant time and resources into this project, and being advised to create an entirely new app is not financially feasible for us. We are genuinely trying to understand how to proceed in a way that is constructive and compliant. Any insights, experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. — Lars

Icon looks broken on the App Store
Hi, I just had V1.0 of my app approved on the App Store and I immediately noticed that the icon preview is broken. It looks good in Xcode, on-device and also in the App Store link preview. The icon was built with Icon Composer. Here's the difference (left is App store): Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution?

CarPlay navigation issue, maximum depth
Hi everyone, I am working on a CarPlay integration, and need open a two level list opened from a root template. However, I am always receiving an error message when opening the 2nd pushed template. To narrow it down not to have an issue with some app specific code I created the CarPlay scene below. I am aware that there is a limit, but two levels I understand are supported on all CarPlay integrations, the maximum seems to be 5. The app is just crashing right after showing the 2nd template. Any ideas? Any hints are much appreciated. Thanks a lot! Regards, Michael class CarPlaySceneDelegate2: UIResponder, CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate { // [...] private func createRootTemplate() -> CPListTemplate { let pushToAItem = CPListItem(text: "Push to Template A", detailText: "Level 1 → Level 2") pushToAItem.handler = {[weak self] (pushToAItem, completion) in guard let self = self else { completion() return } self.interfaceController?.pushTemplate( self.pushTemplateA(), animated: true, completion: { (didPresent, error) in completion() } ) } let section = CPListSection(items: [pushToAItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Root Template", sections: [section]) return template } private func pushTemplateA() -> CPListTemplate { let pushToBItem = CPListItem(text: "Push to Template B", detailText: "Level 2 → Level 3") pushToBItem.handler = {[weak self] (pushToBItem, completion) in guard let self = self else { completion() return } self.interfaceController?.pushTemplate( self.pushTemplateB(), animated: true, completion: { (didPresent, error) in completion() } ) } let backToRootItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop to Root", detailText: "Go back to root") backToRootItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popToRootTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion(); } let infoItem = CPListItem(text: "Current Depth", detailText: "2 (Template A)") let stackCountItem = CPListItem( text: "Stack Count", detailText: "\((interfaceController?.templates.count ?? 0) + 1)" ) let section = CPListSection(items: [pushToBItem, backToRootItem, infoItem, stackCountItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Template A", sections: [section]) return template } private func pushTemplateB() -> CPListTemplate { let pushToCItem = CPListItem(text: "Push to Template C", detailText: "Level 3 → Level 4") pushToCItem.handler = {[weak self] (pushToCItem, completion) in guard let self = self else { completion() return } self.interfaceController?.pushTemplate( self.pushTemplateC(), animated: true, completion: { (didPresent, error) in completion() } ) } let backToRootItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop to Root", detailText: "Go back to root") backToRootItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popToRootTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let popOneItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop One", detailText: "Go back to Template A") popOneItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let infoItem = CPListItem(text: "Current Depth", detailText: "3 (Template B)") let stackCountItem = CPListItem( text: "Stack Count", detailText: "\((interfaceController?.templates.count ?? 0) + 1)" ) let section = CPListSection(items: [pushToCItem, popOneItem, backToRootItem, infoItem, stackCountItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Template B", sections: [section]) return template } private func pushTemplateC() -> CPListTemplate { let backToRootItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop to Root", detailText: "Go back to root") backToRootItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popToRootTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let popOneItem = CPListItem(text: "Pop One", detailText: "Go back to Template B") popOneItem.handler = { [weak self] _, completion in self?.interfaceController?.popTemplate(animated: true, completion: nil) completion() } let infoItem = CPListItem(text: "Current Depth", detailText: "4 (Template C)") let stackCountItem = CPListItem( text: "Stack Count", detailText: "\((interfaceController?.templates.count ?? 0) + 1)" ) let section = CPListSection(items: [popOneItem, backToRootItem, infoItem, stackCountItem]) let template = CPListTemplate(title: "Template C", sections: [section]) return template } }

Titles and Header Auto Changing Color?
I have some questions about Liquid Glass and iOS 26 on the iPhone. Routine scrolling transactions in any view are causing the title to change from Light Mode colors to Dark Mode colors. Is this now standard operation? The column headers are also displaying a black stripe across the top of the screen when scrolling. So why doesn't the display shift when in Dark Mode to Light mode? Scrolling is causing everything in the header (navigation title, time, battery status, and wi-fi status) to change from black to white. Is this an accessibility action that I may have turned on by accident? I'm not very thrilled by this behavior!

Questions about the Swift Student Challenge
Hello! I've been wondering about how strict the rules are for multilingual content in submissions, and also what I can use as screenshots. There are screens in my app, explained and accompanied by English, that have Chinese text/audio on them. Is this appropriate? Reading the Terms & Conditions says that "All content must be in English", but because multicultural themes are a main point of my app, it seems unavoidable to use other languages. I've attached images that show what I'm talking about: About the screenshots in my submission, am I allowed to show two screenshots side-by-side of a before & after of what an interaction does in one image? It'd look like two phone screenshots right next to each other.

How can I set up a B2B subscription with ABM + MDM + Paywall
I am looking for guidance on how people have solved this problem/use case. What is the best way to structure a seat based subscription app that an organization can pay for seats for all their users, can be distributed via mdm or via app store and is easy (low friction) to get paid for and started for small companies? I market to a business to buy my app, they want it installed on all 25 devices they have. They use ABM to acquire 25 licenses with and MDM to distribute. The app is currently free to download so ABM charges $0 but has a paywall to use. The paywall is a RevenueCat one and no user account is needed. All entitlements and free trial work great. When it is deployed to the 25 devices, they can either sign up with their own AppleId and own/company credit card, or use a company appleid and company card for all 25 devices to solve the issue but neither are great. Doubtful they would want to pay their money for a company required app on a company phone (don’t blame them). If they share an appleid, my MRR drops to 1/25th since they will just share the purchase. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The clock on the lock screen is too big. This is very noticeable on the serif font, the maximum size goes beyond the frame, and rests on the frame of the phone display.

My code here: struct MenuView: View { var body: some View { Menu { Text("Hello") Text("How are you") } label: { Image(systemName: "gearshape.fill") .clipShape(Circle()) } .clipShape(Circle()) .padding(.top, 10) .padding(.leading, 20) } } You can see my try, this one looks wrong. It should be like this: Just Circle with setting image inside. Thank you an advance 😭🙏🛐

Questions about the Swift Student Challenge
Hello! I've been wondering about how strict the rules are for multilingual content in submissions, and also what I can use as screenshots. There are screens in my app, explained and accompanied by English, that have Chinese text/audio on them. Is this appropriate? Reading the Terms & Conditions says that "All content must be in English", but because multicultural themes are a main point of my app, it seems unavoidable to use other languages. I've attached images that show what I'm talking about: About the screenshots in my submission, am I allowed to show two screenshots side-by-side of a before & after of what an interaction does in one image? It'd look like two phone screenshots right next to each other.

How can I set up a B2B subscription with ABM + MDM + Paywall
I am looking for guidance on how people have solved this problem/use case. What is the best way to structure a seat based subscription app that an organization can pay for seats for all their users, can be distributed via mdm or via app store and is easy (low friction) to get paid for and started for small companies? I market to a business to buy my app, they want it installed on all 25 devices they have. They use ABM to acquire 25 licenses with and MDM to distribute. The app is currently free to download so ABM charges $0 but has a paywall to use. The paywall is a RevenueCat one and no user account is needed. All entitlements and free trial work great. When it is deployed to the 25 devices, they can either sign up with their own AppleId and own/company credit card, or use a company appleid and company card for all 25 devices to solve the issue but neither are great. Doubtful they would want to pay their money for a company required app on a company phone (don’t blame them). If they share an appleid, my MRR drops to 1/25th since they will just share the purchase. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
