GroupBox breaks ability of XCTest to find popovers?
I'm using Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS 13.5, and I've managed to reproduce my issue in a trivial application. All the project settings are left at the defaults for a macOS project. It looks like using a GroupBox breaks the ability of XCTest to find popovers connected to buttons (I suspect any UI element) inside the GroupBox. The debug console output from the code below lists 15 descendants from my window with the outside-the-GroupBox popover open, and one of them is definitely a popover. With the inside-the-GroupBox popover open, my window only shows nine descendants, and no popover (the rest of the difference is the popover's contents). It's simple enough I don't see what I could be doing wrong: import SwiftUI @main struct GroupBox_Popover_DemoApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State var outsidePopoverPresented: Bool = false @State var insidePopoverPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Outside GroupBox") { outsidePopoverPresented = true } .popover(isPresented: $outsidePopoverPresented, attachmentAnchor: .point(.leading), arrowEdge: .leading) { Popover(selected: .constant("Item A"), isPresented: $outsidePopoverPresented) } .padding() GroupBox { Button("Inside GroupBox") { insidePopoverPresented = true } .popover(isPresented: $insidePopoverPresented, attachmentAnchor: .point(.leading), arrowEdge: .leading) { Popover(selected: .constant("Item B"), isPresented: $insidePopoverPresented) } .padding() } } .padding() } } struct Popover: View { @Binding var selected: String @Binding var isPresented: Bool var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Picker("", selection: $selected) { Text("Item A").tag("Item A") Text("Item B").tag("Item B") Text("Item C").tag("Item C") } .pickerStyle(.radioGroup) HStack { Spacer() Button("Cancel") { isPresented = false } } } .padding() .frame(width: 200) } } Then in my UI tests: import XCTest final class GroupBox_Popover_DemoUITests: XCTestCase { let mainWindow = XCUIApplication().windows override func setUpWithError() throws { continueAfterFailure = false XCUIApplication().launch() } func testPopovers() { let myDescendants = mainWindow.descendants(matching: .any) mainWindow.buttons["Outside GroupBox"].click() print("Window descendants with outside popover open:") print(myDescendants.debugDescription) mainWindow.popovers.buttons["Cancel"].click() mainWindow.buttons["Inside GroupBox"].click() print("Window descendants with inside popover open:") print(myDescendants.debugDescription) mainWindow.popovers.buttons["Cancel"].click() XCTAssert(true, "Test was able to hit cancel on both popovers.") } } Any ideas? Have I missed unchecking some "Ignore anything in a GroupBox" checkbox somewhere?

Are SVG assets faster than PNG when rendered or not?
I recently was thinking about which is the best format to use for my little icons in the app, and was considering the performance of PNG versus SVG . I know that PNG decoders are hardware accelerated and parallelized, and the rendering is as simple as placing the pixels on the screen. On the other hand, SVG requires computation to determine the placement of pixels based on mathematical equations. Considering this, my current assumption is that PNG is faster to render than SVG. However, if SVG is also hardware-accelerated, it could alter the situation, although this may not be the case.

String catalogs in packages
We have separated much of our UI into different packages to reduce complexity and compile time. When we recently tested using new .xcstrings string catalogs, we hit an unexpected problem. Strings extracted from SwiftUI components like Text or Button are extracted into the Localizable.xcstrings in the same package, but the default behaviour of Text(_ key:tableName:bundle:comment:) is to use Bundle.main. When the default behaviour of the string extraction isn't to extract to the main app target, this introduces a very fragile system where it's easy to add code that looks localised, but ends up failing lookup at runtime. I don't feel comfortable that we will always remember to define the correct module every time we create a Text. Also, other components like Button doesn't have an init that takes a Bundle, so we would also have to remember that Button(_ titleKey:action:) can now only be used in a package if we make sure that the main bundle contains a matching key. Is there a way for us to make sure that strings are always extracted to the same place as they are resolved against by default? Either by having strings in packages extracted to an xcstrings file in the main app or having Text default to resolving against the module bundle by default?

visionOS Window launch size
Before visionOS Beta 4 it was possible to define the launch size in the Info.plist using PreferredLaunchSize like so: <key>UILaunchPlacementParameters</key> <dict> <key>PreferredLaunchSize</key> <dict> <key>Height</key> <integer>750</integer> <key>Width</key> <integer>750</integer> </dict> </dict> In visionOS Beta 4 this now doesn't work anymore and the window opens in a 16:9 format and then will scale down to the .defaultSize of the WindowGroup with an animation. Settings, Notes, Safari still open with a different default size though, including the launch screen. How are we supposed to do this now?

New UIButton title left aligned
Hello There, I was trying to do a Button with title left aligned. With the old UIButton, I would have used the title-/contentEdgeInsets to achieve this, but with the new button these values are deprecated and do not work anymore. As far as I understood, with the new button only the spacing between the elements (sub-, title and image) is controllable. I also tried just setting the buttons width to the same width as the label, what would be possible in my case since it should be kind of a "hyperlink-button" which has no background or border. This works so far, but once the user interacts with the button, the title label gets multiline, which is on the one hand not wanted and on the other hand of course does not look left aligned anymore. (Besides the buttons height is fix in my case which leads to clipping of the title) So here again in short: Is there any way to make the title of the new UIButton left aligned inside of the button? Thank you very much in advance.

Infinite loop getting "_dismiss changed"
I'm working on a NavigationStack based app. Somewhere I'm using: @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss and when trying to navigate to that view it gets stuck. I used Self._printChanges() and discovered the environment variable dismiss is changing repeatedly. Obviously I am not changing that variable explicitly. I wasn't able to reproduce this in a small project so far, but does anybody have any idea what kind of thing I could be doing that might be causing this issue? iOS 17.0.3

NavigationSplitView detail view with safearea
Hi, I have a NavigationSplitView with a view in the detail section: NavigationSplitView { ZStack { Color.black.ignoresSafeArea() gradientBlack2Blue.opacity(0.25) .ignoresSafeArea() GeometryReader { p in VStack { List { SidebarViewCell(id: "1", text: "Steuersätze" , type: .TAX_MASTERDATA , selectedMasterdataType: $selectedMasterdataType) }.listRowSpacing(size.height * 1.25 / 100 ) .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar) .frame(width: p.size.width * 98 / 100 , height: p.size.height, alignment: .topLeading). }alignment: .topLeading) } } } detail: { MasterdataDetailView().ignoresSafeArea() } }.navigationSplitViewStyle(.balanced) When I place a Button-Control in the MasterdataDetailView it cannot be clicked because it is in the safe area. How can I make it clickable? Best Regards, Frank

Help with trailing closure errors
I am new to swiftui and have a very small project I am working on to practice passing data between views. I have this error on a form "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'FormStyleConfiguration' that does not accept a closure" If I comment the first section in the form then I get three errors in the ForEach. If anyone can help explain what is going on and what steps I could take to determine where the problem is coming from I would appreciate the help. This is the model I created: import Observation import SwiftUI @Model final class Client { var id = UUID() var name: String var location: String var selectedJob: Person init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String, location: String, selectedJob: Person) { self.id = id self.name = name self.location = location self.selectedJob = selectedJob } } extension Client { enum Person: String, CaseIterable, Codable { case homeOwner = "Home Owner" case contractor = "Contractor" case designer = "Designer" } } @Model class Enclosure { var id = UUID() var room: String = "" var unitType: String = "" init(id: UUID = UUID(), room: String, unitType: String) { self.id = id self.room = room self.unitType = unitType } } This is the detail view where the error is happening: import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @Query(sort: \Enclosure.room, order: .forward, animation: .default) private var enclosures: [Enclosure] @State private var showingAddEnclosure = false @State private var showingAddMirror = false @State private var name: String = "" @State private var location: String = "" @State private var selectedJob = Client.Person.homeOwner @State var clients: Client var body: some View { NavigationStack { Form { Section("Details") { TextField("Full Name", text: Client.$name) TextField("Location", text: Client.location) Picker("Job Type", selection: $selectedJob) { ForEach(Client.Person.allCases, id: \.self) { selected in Text(selected.rawValue).tag(selected) } } } Section("Enclosures") { List { ForEach($clients.enclosures) { enclosure in NavigationLink(destination: EnclosureDetailView()) { VStack { Text(enclosure.room) Text(enclosure.unitType) } } .swipeActions { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { modelContext.delete(enclosure) } } } } } } .navigationTitle("Project Details") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button { showingAddEnclosure.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Enclosure") } Button { showingAddMirror.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Mirror") } } label: { Label("Add", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddEnclosure) { EnclosureView() } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddMirror) { EnclosureView() } } } }

EditMode & EditButton not working in a way I expect
I have something that looks like: NavigationStack { List(self.items, id: \.self, selection: self.$selectedItems) { item in NavigationLink { ItemView(item: item) .environment(\.managedObjectContext, self.viewContext) } label: { LabelWithMenuView(object: item) { ptr in self.labelHandler(item: item, newName: ptr) } } } if self.editMode?.wrappedValue == .active { editButtons } else { TextField("Add Item", text: self.$newItem) .onSubmit { self.addItem() self.newItem = "" } .padding() } } #if os(iOS) .toolbar { EditButton() } .onChange(of: self.editMode?.wrappedValue) { old, new in print("editMode \(old) -> \(new)") } #endif With that layout, the edit button doesn't show up at all; if I put it as part of the List, it does show up, but the first click doesn't do anything; after that, it works, but the onChange handler doesn't show it getting changed, and the editButtons don't go away.

NavigationSplitView, tvOS, and view focus
Hello, I have a SwiftUI application that uses NavigationSplitView. It's working great on iOS, iPad, and macOS. I decided to give it a try on tvOS. After it builds, it will not allow user interaction on the NavigationSplitView's sidebar. I've tried various view focus modifiers without any success. I'd also expect this to "just work" as default behavior. I have filed FB13447961 on this issue. Here is a distillation of the code that demonstrates the problem. Any ideas? Thank you. enum Category : String, CaseIterable { case first case second case third } enum Detail : String, CaseIterable { case one case two case three } struct DetailView : View { let category : Category? var body: some View { if let category { Text(category.rawValue) List(Detail.allCases, id: \.self) { detail in NavigationLink(value: detail) { Text(detail.rawValue) } } } else { Text("Select Category") } } } struct ContentView: View { // NOTE: If this category is set to something, it will show that category's detail. // The problem is that the NavigationSplitView sidebar does not have, nor does not // seem to be able to get focus. @State var category: Category? @State var path : [Detail] = [] var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Category.allCases, id: \.self, selection: $category) { category in Text(category.rawValue) } } detail: { NavigationStack(path: $path) { DetailView(category: category) .navigationDestination(for: Detail.self) { detail in Text("\(detail.rawValue)") } } } } } #wwdc2023-10162 #wwdc20-10042

Obscure assertion crash in com.apple.NSScrollingConcurrentVBLMonitor thread
I have received a few crash reports for my app "Find Any File" with an assertion failure as follows: assertion failure: "displayTiming != ((void *)0)" -&gt; %lld Googling this turns up nothing, though. I wonder if someone has some insight into why this might happen, and how to prevent it. One reporting user suggests that it happens when my app shows a very long list of items in an NSTableView (&gt;10000 elements). I have 4 reports from 3 users, and the main thread is doing something related to the table view each time, though not the same (the few other threads are all idle): Crash 1, in macOS 14.0 (23A344: Thread 0:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x182c69400 objc_msgSend + 0 1 AppKit 0x186f15400 -[CALayer(NSViewVisibleRect) NS_viewVisibleRectDidChange] + 40 2 AppKit 0x186900e10 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 276 3 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 4 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 5 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 6 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 7 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 8 AppKit 0x1869990e0 -[NSView translateOriginToPoint:] + 164 9 AppKit 0x186984108 -[NSClipView _immediateScrollToPoint:] + 420 10 AppKit 0x186983eb8 -[NSClipView scrollToPoint:] + 184 11 AppKit 0x186998d80 -[NSScrollView scrollClipView:toPoint:] + 84 12 AppKit 0x1869448dc -[NSClipView _scrollTo:animateScroll:flashScrollerKnobs:] + 480 13 AppKit 0x186b65b24 __62-[NSScrollingBehaviorConcurrentVBL _stopGestureScrollTracking]_block_invoke + 192 14 AppKit 0x186e6a6e8 ___NSMainRunLoopPerformBlockInModes_block_invoke + 44 15 CoreFoundation 0x18310b8c0 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ + 28 Crash 2, in macOS 14.1.1 (23B81): Thread 0:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 CoreFoundation 0x18ba401f4 DYLD-STUB$$_Block_object_assign + 0 1 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x18b506118 _call_copy_helpers_excp + 80 2 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x18b505c68 _Block_copy + 376 3 libdispatch.dylib 0x18b641c7c _dispatch_Block_copy + 32 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x18b658df0 _dispatch_source_set_handler + 92 5 CoreFoundation 0x18b99e1e4 __CFRunLoopCopyMode + 540 6 CoreFoundation 0x18b8b7458 CFRunLoopAddObserver + 220 7 AppKit 0x18f0a687c _PerfAddRunLoopObserver + 192 8 AppKit 0x18f87cd60 -[NSApplication(NSEventRouting) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 368 9 AppKit 0x18f323318 -[_NSScrollingConcurrentEventMonitor startMonitoring] + 380 10 AppKit 0x18f321df8 -[NSScrollingBehaviorConcurrentVBL _scrollView:trackGestureScrollWithEvent:] + 884 11 AppKit 0x18f2e67f8 -[NSScrollingBehaviorConcurrentVBL scrollView:scrollWheelWithEvent:] + 512 12 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 13 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 14 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 15 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 16 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 17 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 18 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 19 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 20 AppKit 0x18fc45880 -[NSCollectionView scrollWheel:] + 180 21 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 22 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 23 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 24 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 25 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 26 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 27 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 28 AppKit 0x18f1d27b0 -[NSWindow(NSEventRouting) _reallySendEvent:isDelayedEvent:] + 652 As you can see, there's no code of mine involved at the time of crash. The other (and older) reports are similar, in macOS 13.6.1 and macOS 13.1. All four happened on ARM architecture (which may not be significant due to small number of samples). Memory use of app was not critical (in one case it was about 9 GB total, in others below 4 GB). The "Binary Images" section only lists Apple libs, apart from my app's. So, there seems to be no 3rd party ext involved. I've attached a full report as well. Full report of Crash 1

NavigationSplitView: Make button clickable in detail-section safe area
Hi, I've tried to find a solution for this problem for weeks now but it seems no one knows how to solve it and Apple doesn't seem to care. I have a NavigationSplitView with two columns. In the detail column I have a button - or any other clickable control - which is placed in the very top where usually the safe area resides. The button is NOT clickable when he is in the safe area and I have NO idea why. I know I can place buttons in safe areas of other views and they are clickable. Please have a look at the code: `struct NavTestView: View { var body: some View { GeometryReader { p in VStack(spacing: 0) { NavigationSplitView { List(names) { Text($0.name).frame(width: p.size.width) .background(Color.green) }.listRowSpacing(p.size.height * 0.15 / 100 ) .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar) } detail: { TestView().ignoresSafeArea() }.frame(width: p.size.width, height: p.size.height, alignment: .topLeading) .background(Color.yellow) } } } } struct TestView: View { var body: some View { GeometryReader { p in let plusButton = IconButton(imageName: "plus.circle.fill", color: Color(uiColor: ThemeColor.SeaFoam.color), imageWidth: p.size.width * 5 / 100, buttonWidth: p.size.width * 5 / 100) let regularAddButton = Button(action: { log.info("| Regular Add Button pressed") } ) { plusButton } VStack { regularAddButton }.frame(width: p.size.width , height: p.size.height, alignment: .top) .background(Color.yellow) } } } ` this code produces the following screen: Any help would be really greatly appreciated! Thank you! Frank

Scroll TextEditor to cursor position
Hello. Is there a good SwiftUI approach on getting the TextEditor cursor position? I have a TextEditor and sometimes when we have a longer text inside it, the cursor is not seen because the keyboard is above covering the bottom of the TextEditor. I would like to somehow detect the position of the cursor, and if it's on the last line of the TextEditor, scroll to the bottom. I've already checked a bit and didn't find any good method of doing this in SwiftUI. If you have any ideas on how to do this, or even a different method any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

TextEditor with a fixedSize and scroll disabled is completely broken
I am trying to build a text editor that shrinks to its content size. The closest I have been able to get has been to add the .scrollDisabled(true) and .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) modifiers. This almost achieves what I need. There are two problems though: long single line text gets cut off at the end creating line breaks causes the text editor to grow vertically as expected (uncovering the cut off text in point 1 above). However, when you delete the line breaks, the TextEditor does not shrink again. I have had a radar open for some time: FB13292506. Hopefully opening a thread here will get more visibility. And here is some sample code to easily reproduce the issue: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var text = "[This is some long text that will be cut off at the end of the text editor]" var body: some View { TextEditor(text: $text) .scrollDisabled(true) .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) } } #Preview { ContentView() } Here is a gif of the behavior:

Xcode 15 console logging of system messages
Background I have a SwiftUI app that uses OSLog and the new Logger framework. In my SwiftUI views, I would like to use something like Self._logChanges() to help debug issues. After some trial and error, I can see the messages appear in the System console log for the app I am debugging using the com.apple.SwiftUI subsystem. Problem I'd like to see those same messages directly in Xcode's console window so I can filter them as needed. How do I do that? Thanks! -Patrick

StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier not loading
Our app was just rejected by Apple because they say the subscription management sheet never loads. It just spins indefinitely. We're using StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier to present the sheet, and it's always worked for us when testing in SandBox. Has anyone else had this problem? Given that it's Apple's own code that got us rejected, what's our path forward?

Infinite loop getting "_dismiss changed"
I'm working on a NavigationStack based app. Somewhere I'm using: @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss and when trying to navigate to that view it gets stuck. I used Self._printChanges() and discovered the environment variable dismiss is changing repeatedly. Obviously I am not changing that variable explicitly. I wasn't able to reproduce this in a small project so far, but does anybody have any idea what kind of thing I could be doing that might be causing this issue? iOS 17.0.3

NavigationSplitView detail view with safearea
Hi, I have a NavigationSplitView with a view in the detail section: NavigationSplitView { ZStack { Color.black.ignoresSafeArea() gradientBlack2Blue.opacity(0.25) .ignoresSafeArea() GeometryReader { p in VStack { List { SidebarViewCell(id: "1", text: "Steuersätze" , type: .TAX_MASTERDATA , selectedMasterdataType: $selectedMasterdataType) }.listRowSpacing(size.height * 1.25 / 100 ) .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar) .frame(width: p.size.width * 98 / 100 , height: p.size.height, alignment: .topLeading). }alignment: .topLeading) } } } detail: { MasterdataDetailView().ignoresSafeArea() } }.navigationSplitViewStyle(.balanced) When I place a Button-Control in the MasterdataDetailView it cannot be clicked because it is in the safe area. How can I make it clickable? Best Regards, Frank

How to use `.focusedSceneObject()` with @Observable?
According to docs, .focusedObject() usage should be moved to .focusedValue() when migrating to @Observable, but there is no .focusedSceneValue() overload that accepts Observable like with .focusedValue(). So how are we supposed migrate .focusedSceneObject() to @Observable?

Help with trailing closure errors
I am new to swiftui and have a very small project I am working on to practice passing data between views. I have this error on a form "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'FormStyleConfiguration' that does not accept a closure" If I comment the first section in the form then I get three errors in the ForEach. If anyone can help explain what is going on and what steps I could take to determine where the problem is coming from I would appreciate the help. This is the model I created: import Observation import SwiftUI @Model final class Client { var id = UUID() var name: String var location: String var selectedJob: Person init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String, location: String, selectedJob: Person) { self.id = id self.name = name self.location = location self.selectedJob = selectedJob } } extension Client { enum Person: String, CaseIterable, Codable { case homeOwner = "Home Owner" case contractor = "Contractor" case designer = "Designer" } } @Model class Enclosure { var id = UUID() var room: String = "" var unitType: String = "" init(id: UUID = UUID(), room: String, unitType: String) { self.id = id self.room = room self.unitType = unitType } } This is the detail view where the error is happening: import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @Query(sort: \Enclosure.room, order: .forward, animation: .default) private var enclosures: [Enclosure] @State private var showingAddEnclosure = false @State private var showingAddMirror = false @State private var name: String = "" @State private var location: String = "" @State private var selectedJob = Client.Person.homeOwner @State var clients: Client var body: some View { NavigationStack { Form { Section("Details") { TextField("Full Name", text: Client.$name) TextField("Location", text: Client.location) Picker("Job Type", selection: $selectedJob) { ForEach(Client.Person.allCases, id: \.self) { selected in Text(selected.rawValue).tag(selected) } } } Section("Enclosures") { List { ForEach($clients.enclosures) { enclosure in NavigationLink(destination: EnclosureDetailView()) { VStack { Text(enclosure.room) Text(enclosure.unitType) } } .swipeActions { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { modelContext.delete(enclosure) } } } } } } .navigationTitle("Project Details") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button { showingAddEnclosure.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Enclosure") } Button { showingAddMirror.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Mirror") } } label: { Label("Add", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddEnclosure) { EnclosureView() } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddMirror) { EnclosureView() } } } }

EditMode & EditButton not working in a way I expect
I have something that looks like: NavigationStack { List(self.items, id: \.self, selection: self.$selectedItems) { item in NavigationLink { ItemView(item: item) .environment(\.managedObjectContext, self.viewContext) } label: { LabelWithMenuView(object: item) { ptr in self.labelHandler(item: item, newName: ptr) } } } if self.editMode?.wrappedValue == .active { editButtons } else { TextField("Add Item", text: self.$newItem) .onSubmit { self.addItem() self.newItem = "" } .padding() } } #if os(iOS) .toolbar { EditButton() } .onChange(of: self.editMode?.wrappedValue) { old, new in print("editMode \(old) -> \(new)") } #endif With that layout, the edit button doesn't show up at all; if I put it as part of the List, it does show up, but the first click doesn't do anything; after that, it works, but the onChange handler doesn't show it getting changed, and the editButtons don't go away.

NavigationSplitView, tvOS, and view focus
Hello, I have a SwiftUI application that uses NavigationSplitView. It's working great on iOS, iPad, and macOS. I decided to give it a try on tvOS. After it builds, it will not allow user interaction on the NavigationSplitView's sidebar. I've tried various view focus modifiers without any success. I'd also expect this to "just work" as default behavior. I have filed FB13447961 on this issue. Here is a distillation of the code that demonstrates the problem. Any ideas? Thank you. enum Category : String, CaseIterable { case first case second case third } enum Detail : String, CaseIterable { case one case two case three } struct DetailView : View { let category : Category? var body: some View { if let category { Text(category.rawValue) List(Detail.allCases, id: \.self) { detail in NavigationLink(value: detail) { Text(detail.rawValue) } } } else { Text("Select Category") } } } struct ContentView: View { // NOTE: If this category is set to something, it will show that category's detail. // The problem is that the NavigationSplitView sidebar does not have, nor does not // seem to be able to get focus. @State var category: Category? @State var path : [Detail] = [] var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Category.allCases, id: \.self, selection: $category) { category in Text(category.rawValue) } } detail: { NavigationStack(path: $path) { DetailView(category: category) .navigationDestination(for: Detail.self) { detail in Text("\(detail.rawValue)") } } } } } #wwdc2023-10162 #wwdc20-10042

Obscure assertion crash in com.apple.NSScrollingConcurrentVBLMonitor thread
I have received a few crash reports for my app "Find Any File" with an assertion failure as follows: assertion failure: "displayTiming != ((void *)0)" -&gt; %lld Googling this turns up nothing, though. I wonder if someone has some insight into why this might happen, and how to prevent it. One reporting user suggests that it happens when my app shows a very long list of items in an NSTableView (&gt;10000 elements). I have 4 reports from 3 users, and the main thread is doing something related to the table view each time, though not the same (the few other threads are all idle): Crash 1, in macOS 14.0 (23A344: Thread 0:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x182c69400 objc_msgSend + 0 1 AppKit 0x186f15400 -[CALayer(NSViewVisibleRect) NS_viewVisibleRectDidChange] + 40 2 AppKit 0x186900e10 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 276 3 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 4 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 5 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 6 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 7 AppKit 0x186900db0 NSViewHierarchyInvalidateVisibleRect + 180 8 AppKit 0x1869990e0 -[NSView translateOriginToPoint:] + 164 9 AppKit 0x186984108 -[NSClipView _immediateScrollToPoint:] + 420 10 AppKit 0x186983eb8 -[NSClipView scrollToPoint:] + 184 11 AppKit 0x186998d80 -[NSScrollView scrollClipView:toPoint:] + 84 12 AppKit 0x1869448dc -[NSClipView _scrollTo:animateScroll:flashScrollerKnobs:] + 480 13 AppKit 0x186b65b24 __62-[NSScrollingBehaviorConcurrentVBL _stopGestureScrollTracking]_block_invoke + 192 14 AppKit 0x186e6a6e8 ___NSMainRunLoopPerformBlockInModes_block_invoke + 44 15 CoreFoundation 0x18310b8c0 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ + 28 Crash 2, in macOS 14.1.1 (23B81): Thread 0:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 CoreFoundation 0x18ba401f4 DYLD-STUB$$_Block_object_assign + 0 1 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x18b506118 _call_copy_helpers_excp + 80 2 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x18b505c68 _Block_copy + 376 3 libdispatch.dylib 0x18b641c7c _dispatch_Block_copy + 32 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x18b658df0 _dispatch_source_set_handler + 92 5 CoreFoundation 0x18b99e1e4 __CFRunLoopCopyMode + 540 6 CoreFoundation 0x18b8b7458 CFRunLoopAddObserver + 220 7 AppKit 0x18f0a687c _PerfAddRunLoopObserver + 192 8 AppKit 0x18f87cd60 -[NSApplication(NSEventRouting) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 368 9 AppKit 0x18f323318 -[_NSScrollingConcurrentEventMonitor startMonitoring] + 380 10 AppKit 0x18f321df8 -[NSScrollingBehaviorConcurrentVBL _scrollView:trackGestureScrollWithEvent:] + 884 11 AppKit 0x18f2e67f8 -[NSScrollingBehaviorConcurrentVBL scrollView:scrollWheelWithEvent:] + 512 12 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 13 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 14 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 15 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 16 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 17 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 18 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 19 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 20 AppKit 0x18fc45880 -[NSCollectionView scrollWheel:] + 180 21 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 22 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 23 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 24 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 25 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 26 AppKit 0x18f241770 forwardMethod + 252 27 AppKit 0x18f2e62a0 -[NSView scrollWheel:] + 408 28 AppKit 0x18f1d27b0 -[NSWindow(NSEventRouting) _reallySendEvent:isDelayedEvent:] + 652 As you can see, there's no code of mine involved at the time of crash. The other (and older) reports are similar, in macOS 13.6.1 and macOS 13.1. All four happened on ARM architecture (which may not be significant due to small number of samples). Memory use of app was not critical (in one case it was about 9 GB total, in others below 4 GB). The "Binary Images" section only lists Apple libs, apart from my app's. So, there seems to be no 3rd party ext involved. I've attached a full report as well. Full report of Crash 1

NavigationSplitView: Make button clickable in detail-section safe area
Hi, I've tried to find a solution for this problem for weeks now but it seems no one knows how to solve it and Apple doesn't seem to care. I have a NavigationSplitView with two columns. In the detail column I have a button - or any other clickable control - which is placed in the very top where usually the safe area resides. The button is NOT clickable when he is in the safe area and I have NO idea why. I know I can place buttons in safe areas of other views and they are clickable. Please have a look at the code: `struct NavTestView: View { var body: some View { GeometryReader { p in VStack(spacing: 0) { NavigationSplitView { List(names) { Text($0.name).frame(width: p.size.width) .background(Color.green) }.listRowSpacing(p.size.height * 0.15 / 100 ) .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar) } detail: { TestView().ignoresSafeArea() }.frame(width: p.size.width, height: p.size.height, alignment: .topLeading) .background(Color.yellow) } } } } struct TestView: View { var body: some View { GeometryReader { p in let plusButton = IconButton(imageName: "plus.circle.fill", color: Color(uiColor: ThemeColor.SeaFoam.color), imageWidth: p.size.width * 5 / 100, buttonWidth: p.size.width * 5 / 100) let regularAddButton = Button(action: { log.info("| Regular Add Button pressed") } ) { plusButton } VStack { regularAddButton }.frame(width: p.size.width , height: p.size.height, alignment: .top) .background(Color.yellow) } } } ` this code produces the following screen: Any help would be really greatly appreciated! Thank you! Frank

Scroll TextEditor to cursor position
Hello. Is there a good SwiftUI approach on getting the TextEditor cursor position? I have a TextEditor and sometimes when we have a longer text inside it, the cursor is not seen because the keyboard is above covering the bottom of the TextEditor. I would like to somehow detect the position of the cursor, and if it's on the last line of the TextEditor, scroll to the bottom. I've already checked a bit and didn't find any good method of doing this in SwiftUI. If you have any ideas on how to do this, or even a different method any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

TextEditor with a fixedSize and scroll disabled is completely broken
I am trying to build a text editor that shrinks to its content size. The closest I have been able to get has been to add the .scrollDisabled(true) and .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) modifiers. This almost achieves what I need. There are two problems though: long single line text gets cut off at the end creating line breaks causes the text editor to grow vertically as expected (uncovering the cut off text in point 1 above). However, when you delete the line breaks, the TextEditor does not shrink again. I have had a radar open for some time: FB13292506. Hopefully opening a thread here will get more visibility. And here is some sample code to easily reproduce the issue: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var text = "[This is some long text that will be cut off at the end of the text editor]" var body: some View { TextEditor(text: $text) .scrollDisabled(true) .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) } } #Preview { ContentView() } Here is a gif of the behavior:

Xcode 15 console logging of system messages
Background I have a SwiftUI app that uses OSLog and the new Logger framework. In my SwiftUI views, I would like to use something like Self._logChanges() to help debug issues. After some trial and error, I can see the messages appear in the System console log for the app I am debugging using the com.apple.SwiftUI subsystem. Problem I'd like to see those same messages directly in Xcode's console window so I can filter them as needed. How do I do that? Thanks! -Patrick

StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier not loading
Our app was just rejected by Apple because they say the subscription management sheet never loads. It just spins indefinitely. We're using StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier to present the sheet, and it's always worked for us when testing in SandBox. Has anyone else had this problem? Given that it's Apple's own code that got us rejected, what's our path forward?
