On iOS 26 beta 3, my app and some other apps got greyed out app icon.
It only happens in Default (Light) appearance.
Apple automatically converts third-party app icons to support Liquid Glass, but is there any specific requirement with third-party icons to avoid above greyed out app icon issue?
I had, a long time ago (over 10 years) developed an application that is connected to my UPS (for solar panels).
Until yet it worked very well, and I didnot have to compute more than making updates of XCode. That was all.
But yet I have swiched to the latest value of switch, and it continue to compile, but it does'not work. I am asking to yo in order keeping my app working as previously. As it does not work, which library is replacing Cloudkit.framework ?
and which library is replacing InsPersistantContainer.framework ?
Have a good day

I am developing an app in Swift Playground (No Xcode). All my Views respond to the navigation call when I click NEXT except one. When I click NEXT the app hangs then crashes. The error message does not identify the cause of the crash. I have research every possible lead with no success. I would like to get some ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Hi everyone, I'm new to building apps on Swift and recently I've been wondering how does Apple get this blur effect behind the control center on Mac OS Tahoe. I think it would be nice to use in an app that I'm making but I can't seem to find it in the docs. Is it available through AppKit? I would appreciate some help on this
Hi, I'm getting started with designing and coding a watchOS app. I wanted to use Sketch to plan the UI before I dive into coding, but it seems like the official Sketch templates on the Design Resources page only have templates for the Series 8 and SE 2 on watchOS 10. I want to use the Series 10's screen size for my layouts since it's the model I have, but I can't find a template for it. Will the official templates be updated for the new models? If not, does anyone know of a third-party template I can use? Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble getting the new glassEffect() modifier to render correctly in SwiftUI.
No matter what I try, it just appears as a solid white background (instead of translucent glass). This happens both in Beta 1 and Beta 2.
My setup:
• Mac mini (M4 chip)
• macOS 15 Beta 2 (Tahoe)
• Xcode 16 Beta 2
• Samsung Odyssey G9 57” monitor (super ultrawide)
• Using Preview in SwiftUI (not the Simulator)
Even when I use Apple’s default demo code like:
Text("Hello World")
.padding()
.glassEffect()
Hey there! I'd love to know if theres a way where you can animate items between ZStack and VStacks? Just like the native iOS notifications on the Lockscreen stack at the bottom and if tapped, they convert from a Stack to a List - I have a list with items, displayed in a VStack, and I make the list collapsable when swiping down, where the items stack behind eachother with a progresisve reduction in opacity & scale, but I havent figured out a way to animate the items between the list and the stack - where you can visually see items starting to overlap and stack ontop of eachother when collapsing the list.
As of right now Icon Composer does not support creating app icons for visionOS and tvOS. It appears that only system apps can provide glass icons for those platforms. How should developers handle this? In extreme cases, the flat icon on those platforms will look wildly different from their glass counterparts.
From what I have seen visionOS and tvOS also do not apply any automatic treatment like on iOS where legacy icons get a glass effect.
So, third party app icons are just going to look out of place for (hopefully just) a year on those platforms? What is the recommended approach here? You could obviously fake the effect, but I feel like that would be worse.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently testing iOS 26 on my iPhone as part of the developer program. According to Apple’s documentation and demo materials, a new screenshot animation was introduced in this version. However, when I take a screenshot on my device, the animation remains the same as in previous iOS versions.
I’ve double-checked that I’m running the correct build of iOS 26, and I haven’t found any settings that might enable or disable this feature.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Could this new animation be device-specific, region-limited, or require additional configuration?
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Does iOS 26 support HDR images for app icons to be rendered in High Dynamic Range for Springboard or not?

Hello Apple Developer Support,
We initially uploaded our INRx App on a different Apple Developer account for internal testing purposes.
Now, we would like to publish the same app under a new Apple Developer account for production, but we're currently facing a design-related rejection during the review process.
We believe the app meets all guidelines, and there were no design issues flagged previously when submitted from the testing account.
Could you please help us understand:
Why the same app is now being rejected for design issues?
Is there a way to resolve this while moving the app to the new account?
Any advice or clarification would be greatly appreciated so we can successfully proceed with publishing.
Thank you!
I have the following code that renders a one-page PDF:
func render() -> URL {
let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: pdfView())
let url = URL.documentsDirectory.appending(path: "filename.pdf")
renderer.render { size, context in
var document = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 2550, height: 3300)
guard let pdf = CGContext(url as CFURL, mediaBox: &document, nil) else {
return
}
pdf.beginPDFPage(nil)
context(pdf)
pdf.endPDFPage()
pdf.closePDF()
}
return url
}
func pdfView() -> some View {
Text("View")
}
How can this be modified so that it renders a PDF with more than one page?
I'm in the process of add some swift code that is all objective-c. I have trouble with my actual app so I have worked on a prototype. There is what I have done
Created a new Xcode project, selecting App and Objc
Added a blank Swift file and accepted the generation of the -Bridging-Header.
In project build setting, Yes for Defines Modules, Yes for Always Embed Swift Libraries
Add appropriate .h file to Bridging header
In Build Settings, in Swift Compiler - General, Bridging Header has correct path to the bridging header file
Setup the single swift file in this was using @objc like this:
@objcmembers
class MySwiftClass: NSObject {
func myMethod() {
let output = ...
}
}
When the project runs I execute in the objc ViewController:
MySwiftClass *swiftObject = [[MySwiftClass alloc] init];
and get
Use of undeclared identifier 'MySwiftClass'
I can't find any documentation on design guidelines for "Login with Game Center" button. My app allows users to "Play as Guest" or "Login with Game Center". Since Apple provides somewhat strict guidelines for designing "Sign in with Apple" button, i was wondering how to design the button for Game Center login. Should i use Game Center icon. And will Apple review reject this?
Hi everyone,
I've noticed that on iOS 26 beta 1 through beta 4, when using a List with the .plain style, the section header overlaps with the cell content below it, as there is no background for the header. This creates a poor visual experience.
Additionally, when using NavigationSplitView on iPad, the second column's list always shows this issue.
Is this an intentional design change, or just a temporary issue? I haven't found a good workaround so far.
Thanks!

I am trying to resize a Window Form after it loads and have done quite a bit of searching for code to do it.
Here is one code snippet that works to size the form during the design phase.
self.view.window?.contentMinSize = CGSize(width: 1100, height: 310)
I have tried code like below to increase the window size after the Form loads
if let myWindow = self.view.window ?? NSApplication.shared.mainWindow
{
// Increase window size and position after it loads
let newRect = NSRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 1400, height: 900)
}
It seems that this code not only changes the Form size after loading, but also changes the size of the Form in Main.swift, which is something I don't want.
I read elsewhere that I had to disable constraints to resize the Form, so I tried code below.
let tableView = NSTableView()
tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let newRect = NSRect(x: 100, y: 0, width: 1100, height: 600)
myWindow?.setFrame(newRect, display: true)
That code did not seem to do anything as well.
Also, the Form displays in the lower left of the screen.
Note that main reason I want to resize the Form after loading is to keep it smaller during design development. The same goes for the NSTableView, which I have not gotten to yet.
