My application overrides AppDelegate.menuWillOpen(). During startup of the application (in AppDelegate.applicationDidFinishLaunching) I attempt to install a privileged helper tool using SMAppService. On detecting that the tool needs to be allowed/installed I open the Login Items & Extensions settings and then display a modal dialog, advising the user to authorise the privileged helper. Then the application crashes with a message in the crash file Application Specific Information: BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: trying to lock recursively Maybe I could avoid this by removing the menuWillOpen() override so am looking for a workaround. i.e. is it possible to install the override function programmatically later during initialisation, rather then declaring it in an extension. I have attached the crash log. ChronyControl-2026-04-29-111332.crash

When I set up a toolbar item group with multiple options and set the controlGroupStyle as .palette, and when one of the options are supposed to present a view controller, I get the following error Attempt to present <UINavigationController: 0x101813200> on <ProjectName.HomeTabBarViewController: 0x10701bc00> (from <UINavigationController: 0x107821000>) which is already presenting <_UIContextMenuActionsOnlyViewController: 0x1035c19d0>. So basically the context menu we see is under the hood a view controller that is being presented. Is there a right way of fixing it, or is it maybe something that will be fixed by Apple? This is how I set up the ToolbarItemGroup on SwiftUI and the view model ultimately presents another UINavigationController that has a UIHostingController as its view controller: .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("ft_commons_edit".localised, systemImage: "pencil") { viewModel.didTapEditAction() } Button("ft_commons_delete".localised, systemImage: "trash") { viewModel.didTapDeleteAction() } } label: { Image("edit-icon") .resizable() .frame(width: 24.0, height: 24.0) } } .controlGroupStyle(.palette) This is how the view looks like when presentation fails: As a workaround, I found two options that work well. I’d like to share them and ask for recommendations, just to make sure they won’t cause any unexpected issues later on: Option 1: Access the top most visible view controller and attempt presenting on it This requires the following extension: extension UIViewController { func topMostViewController() -> UIViewController { if let presentedViewController = self.presentedViewController { return presentedViewController.topMostViewController() } else if let navigationController = self as? UINavigationController, let topViewController = navigationController.topViewController { return topViewController.topMostViewController() } else if let tabBarController = self as? UITabBarController, let selectedViewController = tabBarController.selectedViewController { return selectedViewController.topMostViewController() } else { return self } } } Then called as: navigationController.topMostViewController().present(exerciseEditingNavController, animated: true) Option 2: Call dismiss before attempting to present anything This also works fine, even without any delay, the menu is first dismissed and presentation works fine afterwards, code example: navigationController.dismiss(animated: true) navigationController.present(exerciseEditingNavController, animated: true) I feel like Option 1 would be the better choice, because if this context menu is ever no longer treated as a view controller and direct presentation starts working, Option 1 would still behave correctly by presenting from the topmost visible view controller. Option 2, on the other hand, could introduce a bug by dismissing an unrelated view controller if the context menu is no longer represented as a view controller at that point. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has experienced this, or from Apple developers. Thanks

So after binding to NSBrowser selectionIndexPaths: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/CocoaBindingsRef/BindingsText/NSBrowser.html this causes NSBrowser to do some weird stuff that seems completely unrelated to this particular binding. It starts calling NSBrowserCell methods on my cells but my cell is not a NSBrowserCell. My cell is actually a subclass of NSTextFieldCell. But NSBrowser starts sending setIsLeaf: (which I don't implement). In any case if I implement the -setLeaf: that solves that unrecognized selector, but now my cells don't draw titles. Not sure why binding to selectionIndexPaths causes this behavior? The cell stuff seems unrelated to this particular binding. I am of course using the newer but still pretty old item based APIs... do these bindings only support using NSMatrix? I do set the binding after calling -setCellClass: but makes no difference. I also just tried overriding -setSelectionIndexPaths: but NSBrowser does not use the setter.

I'm implementing a MEMessageActionHandler Mail extension on macOS 26.4.1 (Xcode 26.4). The extension is discovered by Mail and appears in Mail > Settings > Extensions, but Mail shows only an "Uninstall" button — no enable toggle. The MailKit consent dialog asking permission to process messages in the background has never appeared. Console logs show optedIn: NO / userEnabled: Not Enabled. Extension Info.plist (key parts): NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.email.extension NSExtensionPrincipalClass CheckThisMailExtension.MailExtension MEExtensionCapabilities MEMessageActionHandler Principal class: class MailExtension: NSObject, MEExtension { func handlerForMessageActions() -> any MEMessageActionHandler { return MessageActionHandler() } } Entitlements: app-sandbox: true, application-groups: [group.com.xxx]. App is Developer ID signed and notarized. Has anyone successfully gotten the consent dialog to appear for MEMessageActionHandler on macOS 15/26? Is there something beyond the standard template configuration that enables it? Any entitlement that needs to be provisioned separately?

When applying the .accessibilityIdentifier(_:) modifier to a SwiftUI TextField, the identifier is correctly added to the SwiftUI Accessibility Tree (visible in Accessibility Inspector), but it is not assigned to the accessibilityIdentifier property of the underlying UITextField instance. This causes issues for developers who monitor global notifications, such as UITextField.textDidChangeNotification. When a notification is received, the object (the UITextField) has a nil identifier, making it impossible to programmatically determine which specific text field triggered the event. Steps to Reproduce: Create a SwiftUI view containing a TextField. Apply .accessibilityIdentifier("TargetTextField") to that TextField. Set up an observer (via NotificationCenter or onReceive) for UITextField.textDidChangeNotification. Run the app and type into the text field. Inspect the accessibilityIdentifier property of the UITextField object provided by the notification. Expected Result: The UITextField.accessibilityIdentifier should be "TargetTextField". Actual Result: The UITextField.accessibilityIdentifier is nil.

I using SwiftUI to wrap a NSTextView to support rich text editing. I created a subclass ImageAttachment and provided my own viewProvider and attachmentView. The insertion of the image works fine, but when I typing in the same paragraph of the image, the image will flicker during typing and pause. after typing it sometimes just display nothing, but after refresh or click other places, the image shows. The interesting part is if I typing in other paragraph, the image attachment displays well. I don't think the flicker should happen while typing in the same paragraph of the attachment, but not sure if there is a way to enforce the layout stable for the paragraph?

I have a SwiftUI view with: @State var url: URL? @State var isShowingBrowser: Bool func displayURL(url: URL) { self.url = url self.isShowingBrowser = true } var body: some View { Group { // ...... } .sheet(isPresented: $isShowingBrowser) { // browser view } } The first time I call displayBrowser, an empty browser sheet appears, with no URL. The second time, it works. It doesn't matter if I reorder the assignments in displayURL. It's like the view refreshes once with a nil URL and isShowingBrowser true, then refreshes again with the URL value. If I move both variable to an @Observable view model class then it works fine - that update seems to happen atomically. For my own project, the view model is the right way to do this, but I was confused by this behavior. What am I missing about SwiftUI?

I want to use AppStorage for a custom struct I am using struct Activities { var name: String var age: Int } struct ContentView: View { @AppStorage("key") private var activities: Activities = .init(name: "Albert", age: 42) var body: some View { VStack { TextField("Activity Name", text: $activities.name) } } } The above code generates a compiler warning, recommending I add RawRepresentable conformance. So I've added it like this: extension Activities: RawRepresentable { public init?(rawValue: String) { guard let data = rawValue.data(using: .utf8) else { return nil } do { let result = try JSONDecoder().decode(Activities.self, from: data) self = result } catch { print(error) return nil } } var rawValue: String { guard let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(self), let result = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) else { return "{}" } return result } } This leads to a stack overflow because calling encode from rawValue calls rawValue. :-( I overcame this by declaring Codable conformance and overriding the default Encodable implementation: extension Activities: Codable { enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case name case age } func encode(to encoder: any Encoder) throws { var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) try container.encode(name, forKey: .name) try container.encode(age, forKey: .age) } } This solves the stack overflow, but now init?(rawValue: String) is failing and I'm not sure why. When I set a breakpoint in my catch block I see the following: (lldb) po error ▿ DecodingError ▿ typeMismatch : 2 elements - .0 : Swift.String ▿ .1 : Context - codingPath : 0 elements - debugDescription : "Expected to decode String but found a dictionary instead." - underlyingError : nil (lldb) po rawValue {"name":"Albert2","age":42} (lldb) po data ▿ 27 bytes - count : 27 ▿ bytes : 27 elements - 0 : 123 - 1 : 34 - 2 : 110 - 3 : 97 - 4 : 109 - 5 : 101 - 6 : 34 - 7 : 58 - 8 : 34 (truncated to save space for posting :-)

Since iOS26, I've been running into an issue with using a NavigationStack with .searchSuggestions, and using searchable with placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always) With this, the search is activated and search suggestions list is displayed, but tapping on the search suggestions dismisses the whole search control without doing selecting the search suggestion item. This doesn't happen on iPhone, and doesn't happen on iPadOS 18.5 or below. And removing the 'placement' argument also fixes the issue. NavigationStack { List { /// ... } .searchable( text: $searchText, tokens: $searchTokens, isPresented: $isSearchPresented, placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always), prompt: "Search timestamps" ) { token in Label(token.title, systemImage: token.systemImage) } .searchSuggestions { ForEach(suggestedTokens) { token in Label(token.title, systemImage: token.systemImage) .searchCompletion(token) } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button(action: addItem) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } } } } I have a test sample app with this, and created FB22639453 The same problem happens in UIKit as well, when using UISearchController with UINavigationItems' searchController.

Hi everyone, I found what looks like a picker issue on iOS 26 in the Clock app’s Timer screen, and I’m also seeing what appears to be the same behavior in UIPickerView in my own app. What I’m Doing I’m testing the Timer picker in the built-in Clock app. When I swipe very quickly on the hours component, trying to reach the maximum value together with minutes and seconds: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds I noticed that the picker does not always land on the expected final value. I’m seeing a very similar issue with UIPickerView as well, especially in: public func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) When swiping very quickly to the end, the selected/logged row can be inconsistent with the final visible value. Expected Behavior When swiping quickly and stopping at the end, the Timer should correctly select: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds Likewise, in UIPickerView, didSelectRow should reflect the actual final selected row/value after the wheel settles. Actual Behavior (iOS 26) If I swipe quickly enough on the hours component, when the picker reaches: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds it appears to count from 22 hours instead of 23 hours. So the final selected duration is effectively off by one hour, even though the wheel visually reaches the maximum end position. I’m facing the same kind of issue with UIPickerView too. In particular, inside: public func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) when performing a very fast swipe, the reported row may behave unexpectedly near the end of the range. Additional Notes I reproduced this in the Clock app Specifically on the Timer screen The issue happens when the swipe velocity is high enough I also face the same issue with UIPickerView in my own app Question Has anyone else seen this behavior in iOS 26? Is this a known UIPickerView / wheel-picker issue, or a regression in the Timer picker logic? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! P.S. I do have a video showing the issue, but I can’t upload it here. If someone could let me know the best way to share it, I’d appreciate it.

I wonder if there is way to switch the view that the digital crown controls. Like if have a list and a vertical tab view, when the tab displays, I want the crown control the scrolling in the tab. I dont want to use sheet, cause I have some special UX design, and also dont want to use if else to toggle between the two views. I have tried with resetFocus and other focus related functions, not working

Since iOS 26.4, we are observing an issue on iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro Max where text is truncated on first presentation when using Bulgarian (Cyrillic) localization. The issue affects: UINavigationBar title (both inline and large titles) UIAlertController action titles Behavior: On first presentation, the text is truncated/cut off. On subsequent presentations, the layout appears correct. Adding a zero-width space (\u{200B}) before the last character of the string prevents truncation. This appears to slightly increase the layout width calculation and avoids the issue. Has anyone else encountered this behavior or found a more appropriate workaround?

In SF Symbols 7, I'm observing a discrepancy between the .replace animation previewed in the SF Symbols app and the result when using the code template the app provides. Expected behavior: When previewing the .replace animation in the SF Symbols app (with Magic Replace preferred), the transition looks like: Actual behavior: When I implement the animation using the exact code template generated by the SF Symbols app, the result looks like: My code: struct PlaygroundSwiftUIView: View { @State var name = "folder.circle" var body: some View { Image(systemName: name) .font(.system(size: 60)) .contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace)) .onTapGesture { name = "tree" } } } #Preview { PlaygroundSwiftUIView() } The animation rendered in my app does not match the preview shown in the SF Symbols app. The drawOff animation is partially missing. Is there something missing from the code template, or is there an additional configuration step required to achieve the correct Replace effect? or is this a bug?

I’m seeing a rendering issue with UITabBarController on iOS 26 (Liquid Glass), and I’d like to confirm whether others can reproduce this or have a workaround. Summary If a UITabBarController is recreated while it is fully hidden behind a fullscreen modal, the tab bar renders incorrectly after dismissal. Selected tab becomes nearly invisible Unselected tabs appear to show both selected and unselected tint colors Looks like multiple rendering states are composited incorrectly This only happens with: iOS 26 (Liquid Glass enabled) UIKit UITabBarController It does not reproduce with SwiftUI TabView. Minimal Reproduction Code This is a complete, minimal example: import UIKit // MARK: - Root class RootViewController: UIViewController { private var tabBar: UITabBarController? private var modalPresented = false override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() installTabBar() } override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewDidAppear(animated) // Present once on first appear, simulating an app-launch login flow. if !modalPresented { modalPresented = true presentModal() } } private func installTabBar() { let tab = UITabBarController() tab.viewControllers = [ makeTab(title: "Tab 1", systemImage: "1.circle"), makeTab(title: "Tab 2", systemImage: "2.circle"), ] tabBar = tab addChild(tab) view.addSubview(tab.view) tab.view.frame = view.bounds tab.didMove(toParent: self) } private func makeTab(title: String, systemImage: String) -> UIViewController { let vc = UIViewController() vc.view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground vc.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: title, image: UIImage(systemName: systemImage), tag: 0) return vc } private func presentModal() { let modal = ModalViewController() modal.onDismiss = { [weak self] in // Recreate the tab bar while it is still fully hidden by the modal. // This seems to trigger incorrect Liquid Glass rendering. self?.tabBar?.willMove(toParent: nil) self?.tabBar?.view.removeFromSuperview() self?.tabBar?.removeFromParent() self?.installTabBar() // ← created while invisible self?.dismiss(animated: true) } modal.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen present(modal, animated: true) } } // MARK: - Modal class ModalViewController: UIViewController { var onDismiss: (() -> Void)? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground let button = UIButton(type: .system) button.setTitle("Dismiss", for: .normal) button.titleLabel?.font = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title2) button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(dismissTapped), for: .touchUpInside) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), button.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), ]) } @objc private func dismissTapped() { onDismiss?() } } Expected Behavior The tab bar renders normally with correct Liquid Glass appearance: Selected tab is clearly visible Unselected tabs show only inactive tint Actual Behavior Selected tab becomes nearly invisible Unselected tabs show a mix of selected + unselected tint The issue resolves after backgrounding and returning to foreground Observations / Workarounds The issue does not reproduce if: The tab bar is recreated after dismissal: self.dismiss(animated: true) { self.installTabBar() } Using SwiftUI TabView Using a presentation style that does not fully cover the screen (.pageSheet, etc.) Question Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a recommended workaround besides delaying creation until after dismissal? It seems like Liquid Glass rendering may not initialize correctly when the view is attached while fully obscured, but I’m not sure if this is expected behavior or a bug.

Invalid parameter not satisfying: targetNode [UIGestureGraphEdge initWithLabel:sourceNode:targetNode:directed:] How to locate this crash?

I had a need to store a localised string in a shared file used by other applications, and noticed that LocalizedStringResource conforms to Codable -- and indeed, if I encode a string from App A, then switch to App B, B is able to read the value and load different localisations of that string out of App A's bundle. Very cool. This isn't clearly documented (the documentation for LocalizedStringResource just mentions cross-process use, not generally longer-term storage), so I wondered if there are any caveats to be aware of when using this approach? I am aware that LocalizedStringResource is just a reference, so obviously if App A is deleted, it becomes a kind of dangling reference and will presumably fall back to its default value (which is included in the encoded representation). But I also noticed that the encoded LSR includes a sandbox extension token. Is there anything in particular to be aware of with that? Is it time-limited? One thing I did notice, that is quite annoying (potentially a bug) is that if I serialise and deserialise a record containing a LSR, it no longer compares as == to its previous self. That is because the original LSR did not contain a sandbox extension token, but as part of encoding it, that field seems to get populated. I'm not sure if there is a good workaround there; perhaps the extension token could be ignored from ==? That would result in extension tokens being dropped (e.g. if you had two LSRs in a Dictionary, differing only by the sandbox token, they would still be considered substitutable and already "in" the dictionary), but perhaps that's fine.

Hi, I have a list cell with a play button and a text label. When tapping the play button, it plays an audio, and when long-pressed, it plays the audio slowly. The long press works as per the example code below, but once a contextMenu is added, the long-press gesture of the play button is ignored (even though it's a small element in the cell), and the context menu is presented instead. Is there a way to allow for the context menu long-press to respect the long-press gesture of a child element in the cell on which it's defined? I also tried with highPriorityGesture but to no effect. Example code: HStack { Button { print("Play") } label: { Image(systemName: "play.circle") .onLongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 0.5) { print("Play slowly") } } Text("Audio cell") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) } .contextMenu { Button("Hello") { print("hello") } Button("Goodbye") { print("goodbye") } }

[Submitted as FB22612121] A SwiftUI Button using .buttonStyle(.glass) with .buttonBorderShape(.capsule) changes its background abruptly when its size goes from 50×50 to 51×51 points in dark mode. This appears to be a threshold in opacity/material rather than a smooth size-based change. The sample shows identical buttons at 40, 50, 51, and 60 points, with a clear jump between 50 and 51. Measured RGB values shift from 19,19,19 to 30,30,30. The effect also varies with the background, which points to a material/opacity change rather than a fixed fill. ENVIRONMENT iOS 26.4.1 (23E254a) iOS 26.5 (23F5059e) REPRO STEPS Create a new iOS SwiftUI project. Replace ContentView with the sample code below. Run the app or open ContentView in SwiftUI Preview (dark mode). Observe the buttons at 40×40, 50×50, 51×51, and 60×60. Compare the 50pt and 51pt buttons. ACTUAL The background changes abruptly between 50pt and 51pt. The 51pt button uses a noticeably different opacity/material, producing a visible jump in dark mode. EXPECTED The glass background should remain visually consistent or change smoothly as size changes by 1 point. 50pt and 51pt buttons should not have a discontinuous difference. SCREENSHOT SAMPLE CODE struct ContentView: View { private let sizes: [CGFloat] = [40, 50, 51, 60] var body: some View { ScrollView { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 16) { Text("Glass button dark-mode size jump") .font(.headline) Text("All buttons use .buttonStyle(.glass). Only the label frame changes.") .font(.footnote) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) ForEach(Array(sizes.enumerated()), id: \.offset) { index, size in HStack(spacing: 14) { Button { } label: { Text("\(index + 1)") .font(.system(size: size * 0.42, weight: .medium)) .frame(width: size, height: size) } .buttonStyle(.glass) .buttonBorderShape(.capsule) Text("label frame: \(Int(size)) x \(Int(size))") .font(.callout.monospacedDigit()) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } } } .padding(24) } .preferredColorScheme(.dark) } }

hi, On my page’s toolbar, I have a toolbar item that is implemented as a menu. Its purpose is to filter the content displayed on the page, similar to the filtering feature in the Photos app. When a user selects a filter option, I want the toolbar item to appear highlighted to indicate the active state. I came across the following guidance in the Human Interface Guidelines: Provide a selected-state version of an interface icon only if necessary. You don’t need to provide selected and unselected appearances for an icon that’s used in standard system components such as toolbars, tab bars, and buttons. The system updates the visual appearance of the selected state automatically. An image of two toolbar buttons that share a background. The left button shows the Filter icon in a selected state, using a blue tint color for its background. The right button shows the More icon in an unselected state, using the default appearance for toolbar buttons. In a toolbar, a selected icon receives the app’s accent color. However, I’m not sure how to actually implement or control the selected state for my toolbar item. Here is a snippet of my code: ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Section { LayoutPickerView(layoutOption: $layoutOption) } Section { SortPickerView(sortOption: $viewModel.sortOption) } Section { Menu { Toggle( isOn: Binding( get: { viewModel.filterPlatforms.isEmpty }, set: { if $0 { viewModel.filterPlatforms.removeAll() } } ) ) { HStack { Image(systemName: "square.grid.3x3") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 30, height: 30) Text(Localized.Content.filterAllPlatforms) } } .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) Divider() ForEach(viewModel.availablePlatforms(from: contents)) { platform in Toggle(isOn: viewModel.platformBinding(for: platform)) { HStack { CachedPlatformIconView(urlString: platform.iconUrl, size: 30) Text(platform.name) } } .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) } } label: { Text(Localized.Content.filterMenu) Text(viewModel.filterPlatforms.map(\.name).joined(separator: String(localized: Localized.Content.separator))) } if !viewModel.filterPlatforms.isEmpty { Button { viewModel.filterPlatforms.removeAll() } label: { Text(Localized.Content.filterClear) } } } } label: { Image(systemName: "line.3.horizontal.decrease") } }
