Crash on removal of QLPreviewController and _EXRemoteViewController
I have a controller that displays a pdf using UIDocumentInteractionController as the presented view. When users open it up, it shows fine. User gets the app backgrounded and session timed out. After timed out, when the app is brought to foreground, I bring our loginVC by removing the old VC used to show the UIDocumentInteractionController. All the crashes are happening at this point. I am not able to reproduce it, but our alert systems show we have crashes happening. The code that shows the pdf is straight forward documentViewController = UIDocumentInteractionController() documentViewController?.delegate = self documentViewController?.url = url documentViewController?.presentPreview(animated: true) and we reset it to nil in delegate documentInteractionControllerDidEndPreview Based on the crash trace, it seems like the crash happens when our login VC replaces it and only when pdf was displayed. The reason of stressing ONLY because when we have other viewcontroller present and they are removed in a similar way, we do not see any issue. So we always replace first and then add a new one childViewController.willMove(toParent: nil) childViewController.viewIfLoaded?.removeFromSuperview() childViewController.removeFromParent() addChild(childViewController) view.addSubview(childViewController.view) childViewController.view.frame = view.bounds childViewController.didMove(toParent: self) Raised a ticket with Apple, but I haven't heard back, and it's been a month. Posting here in case anyone experiences the same and has any solutions. I saw some related posts, and solution was to remove the pdf the moment the app goes to the background, but I am trying to find some alternate solution if possible.

UICollectionView Dequeue Crash Xcode 16.2
I am facing same issue with major crash while coming out from this function. Basically using collectionView.dequeReusableCell with size calculation. func getSizeOfFavouriteCell(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, at indexPath: IndexPath, item: FindCircleInfoCellItem) -> CGSize { guard let dummyCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell( withReuseIdentifier: TAButtonAddCollectionViewCell.reuseIdentifier, for: indexPath) as? TAButtonAddCollectionViewCell else { return CGSize.zero } dummyCell.title = item.title dummyCell.subtitle = item.subtitle dummyCell.icon = item.icon dummyCell.layoutIfNeeded() var targetSize = CGSize.zero if viewModel.favoritesDataSource.isEmpty.not, viewModel.favoritesDataSource.count > FindSheetViewControllerConstants.minimumFavoritesToDisplayInSection { targetSize = CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.size.width / 2, height: collectionView.frame.height) var estimatedSize: CGSize = dummyCell.systemLayoutSizeFitting(targetSize) if estimatedSize.width > targetSize.width { estimatedSize.width = targetSize.width } return CGSize(width: estimatedSize.width, height: targetSize.height) } } We have resolve issue with size calculation with checking nil. Working fine in xcode 15 and 16+. Note: Please help me with reason of crash? Is it because of xCode 16.2 onwards **strict check on UICollectionView **

high internal cpu usage
Hi, I am developing a new SwiftUI app. Running under OSX, I see very high cpu usage (I am generating lots of gpu based updates which shouldn't affect the cpu). I have used the profiler to ensure my swift property updates are minimal, yet the cpu usage is high coming from SwiftUI. It seems the high cpu usage is coming from NSAppearance, specifically, CUICopyMeasurements - for a single button??? But the swift updates don't show any buttons being updating

Can We Detect When Running Behind a Slide Over Window?
I'm trying to determine if it’s possible to detect when a user interacts with a Slide Over window while my app is running in the background on iPadOS. I've explored lifecycle methods such as scenePhase and various UIApplication notifications (e.g., willResignActiveNotification) to detect focus loss, but these approaches don't seem to capture the event reliably. Has anyone found an alternative solution or workaround for detecting this specific state change? Any insights or recommended practices would be greatly appreciated.

openURL:options:completionHandler: Not Opening tel:// Link on iPad with Cellular Data
We are using openURL:options:completionHandler: to open a tel:// number in the dialer to place a call. This works on iPhones and WiFi-only iPads (tested with a iPad Mini 6th Gen), but it is failing to open on an iPad 8th Gen (WiFi + Cellular) running iPadOS 18.5 being used by a customer. Prior to updating the iPad to iPadOS 18, the call worked on iPadOS 15.2 and opened the call in FaceTime as expected. Despite not opening the dialer in iPadOS 18, the completionHandler returns the success parameter as true. canOpenUrl also returns true. We created a small test application that reproduces the issue using the code snippet below in a new application, with the tel schema added to the info.plist Queried URL Schemes. We are currently using Xcode 16.3. Test Steps: Create a new blank application and replace ContentView.swift with the code snippet below Run the test app on a physical iPad 8th Gen (WiFi + Cellular) Tap the "place a test call" button Expected Results: The user is prompted to call the number and is taken to FaceTime to attempt the call. The user may then receive an alert telling them an iPhone must be paired if not already. Alternatively: return success = false in the completionHandler. Actual Results: No action occurs that is visible to the user, and the completionHandler returns success = true. Separately, we should be able to have some method of checking if the device can actually complete a call, i.e. if an iPhone is paired, so that we can correctly show or hide a phone icon in the app based on if the user can place a call. canOpenUrl returns true even if there is not a device paired and the call cannot actually be placed, and there doesn't seem to be a proper method for making that check. Code Snippet: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var showAlert = false var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") Button("Place a test call") { if let url = URL(string: "tel://5555554567") { UIApplication.shared.open(url) { success in if success { print("Call initiated successfully.") } else { showAlert = true } } } } } .padding() .alert("Call Failed", isPresented: $showAlert) { Button("OK") { showAlert = false } } message: { Text("The call could not be initiated.") } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

Custom, Markdown autocapitalizationType.
Hi, I've got an app that displays markdown in UITextView / NSTextView. I would like it to behave like Notes app does, that is if user types the line start modifier, e.g: "# " or "> " I would like the keyboard to show a capitalized letters. I've tried looking into overriding insertText - and it breaks the predictive text (can not insert white space). I've tried implementing UITextInputTokenizer but no luck either. Like I said, I see the Notes app does it perfectly, so maybe I'm missing something obvious or there is a way to do it without interrupting the auto-correction and predictive text. Ideally same thing can be applied to the NSTextView as the app support both platforms.

Page Freeze Caused by Gesture
When pushing a page in the navigation, changing the state of interactivePopGestureRecognizer causes the page to freeze. Just like this: #import "ViewController.h" @interface ViewController () @end @implementation ViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. CGFloat red = (arc4random_uniform(256) / 255.0); CGFloat green = (arc4random_uniform(256) / 255.0); CGFloat blue = (arc4random_uniform(256) / 255.0); CGFloat alpha = 1.0; // self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:red green:green blue:blue alpha:alpha]; UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; btn.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 44); btn.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; btn.center = self.view.center; [btn setTitle:@"push click" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [btn addTarget:self action:@selector(click:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [self.view addSubview:btn]; } - (void)click:(id)sender { [self.navigationController pushViewController:[ViewController new] animated:YES]; } - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{ [super viewWillAppear:animated]; self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO; } - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{ [super viewDidAppear:animated]; self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = YES; } @end

Debugging Snapshot Thread Confinement Warning in UITableViewDiffableDataSource
I first applied a snapshot on the main thread like this: var snapshot = NSDiffableDataSourceSnapshot<Section, MessageViewModel>() snapshot.appendSections([.main]) snapshot.appendItems([], toSection: .main) dataSource.applySnapshotUsingReloadData(snapshot) After loading data, I applied the snapshot again using: Task { @MainActor in await dataSource.applySnapshotUsingReloadData(snapshot) } On an iPhone 13 mini, I received the following warning: Warning: applying updates in a non-thread confined manner is dangerous and can lead to deadlocks. Please always submit updates either always on the main queue or always off the main queue However, this warning did not appear when I ran the same code on an iPhone 16 Pro simulator. Can anyone explain it to me? Thank you

brightnessDidChangeNotification does not seem to work on Mac Catalyst 15.5
Hi, I have been trying to subscribe to brightnessDidChangeNotification (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiscreen/brightnessdidchangenotification) with my code: var publisher = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: UIScreen.brightnessDidChangeNotification) .map { _ -> Double in return UIScreen.main.brightness } But it does seem that no such event is fired on Mac Catalyst 15.5. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiscreen/brightnessdidchangenotification claims that API is available since 13.1. Could anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if the API is not supported at the moment? Thank you!

Animation Issue: SwiftUI View Not Animating Height Changes in UIHostingController
Hello, I’m developing an app where I display a SwiftUI view inside a UIHostingController embedded within a UIKit ViewController. I’m trying to animate the height of the UIHostingController’s view based on a switch’s value, but the SwiftUI view doesn’t animate at all. Below is a simplified version of my code: class ViewController: UIViewController { private lazy var parentView: UIView = { let view = UIView() view.backgroundColor = .red view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return view }() private lazy var hostingView: UIView = { let testView = TestView() let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: testView) let view = hostingController.view! view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return view }() private lazy var button: UISwitch = { let button = UISwitch() button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(onClickSwitch(sender:)), for: .valueChanged) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false return button }() private var hostingViewHeightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.addSubview(parentView) parentView.addSubview(hostingView) parentView.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ parentView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), parentView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor), parentView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), parentView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor) ]) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ hostingView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.bottomAnchor), hostingView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.leadingAnchor), hostingView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.trailingAnchor) ]) hostingViewHeightConstraint = hostingView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0.5) hostingViewHeightConstraint?.isActive = true NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.centerXAnchor), NSLayoutConstraint(item: button, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: parentView, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 0.25, constant: 0) ]) } @objc func onClickSwitch(sender: UISwitch) { hostingViewHeightConstraint?.isActive = false let multiplier: CGFloat = sender.isOn ? 0.25 : 0.5 hostingViewHeightConstraint = hostingView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: parentView.heightAnchor, multiplier: multiplier) hostingViewHeightConstraint?.isActive = true UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) { self.view.layoutIfNeeded() } } } I’m looking for the behavior demonstrated in the video below: Does anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this?

Reliable APIs to check if a Hotkey/Shortcut is already in use?
In our application we have two usecases for a Hotkey/Shortcut identification API/method. We have some predefined shortcuts that will ship with our MacOS application. They may or may not change dynamically, based on what the user has already set as shortcuts/hotkeys, and also to avoid any important system wide shortcuts that the user may or may not have changed. We allow the user to customize the shortcuts/hotkeys in our application, so we want to show what shortcuts the user already has in use system-wide and across their OS experience. This gives rise to the need for an API that lets us know which shortcut/hotkeys are currently being used by the user and also the current system wide OS shortcuts in use. Please let me know if there are any APIs in AppKit or SwiftUI we can use for the above

AppKit: presentAsModalWindow doesn't center the presented window on macOS 15
When I present a view controller, whose view is a SwiftUI View, via presentAsModalWindow(_:) the presented window is no longer centered horizontally to the screen, but rather its origin is there. I know this issue occurs for macOS 15.2+, but can't tell if it is from 15.0+. I couldn't find any documentation on why was this changed. Here's an example code that represents my architecture: class RootViewController: NSViewController { private lazy var button: NSButton = NSButton( title: "Present", target: self, action: #selector(presentView)) override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Add button to tree } @objc func presentView() { presentAsModalWindow(PresentedViewController()) } } class PresentedViewController: NSViewController { override loadView() { view = NSHostingView(rootView: MyView()) } } struct MyView: View { /* impl */ }

Putting buttons over SwiftUI map view
Has anyone gotten custom buttons to work on top of tvOS Map()? I've tried many variations of FocusState focusSection .defaultFocus() and as soon as the map appears at startup the buttons never get focus again. They are on a ZStack over the map. I could post code but truthfully nothing works for me. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully put focusable buttons on top of the map view.
