I have a simple example to demonstrate... struct MyView: View { var body: some View { Text("WOW") } } struct MyOtherView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("WOW") } } } On VisionOS, MyOtherView has a glass background effect that cannot be disabled. glassBackgroundEffect(displayMode: .never) .background(.clear), .foregroundColor(.clear), none of them work. I then resorted to the SwiftUIIntrospect package to try set .clear on various child objects of the NavigationStack but nothing is working. I am in control of my own glass containers. I have a couple with space between them, but with the NavigationStack it sets a background behind both of them ruining the effect. This is what MyOtherView renders as: I'm looking for it to be completely transparent except the text. Like the below layout. For now I will have to roll my own navigation.

On an iPad running iOS26, there is an issue with the numberPad keyboard I have a UITextField with a keyboard type of .numberPad When I first tap in the field, a new number pad with just numbers (similar to the one that shows up on iPhone) shows up. When I tap again in the field, that number pad goes away. When I tap in the field again, the full keyboard with numbers etc shows up (this is the one that used to always show up pre-iOS26)

Try this simple code: import SwiftUI import StoreKit struct ReviewView: View { @Environment(\.requestReview) var requestReview var body: some View { Button("Leave a review") { requestReview() } } } When the Review Alert shows, the "Not Now" button is disabled for some reason!? It was always tappable in all iOS versions that I remember. And there is no way to opt out, unless the user taps on the stars first. Is it a bug or a feature? Thanks for looking into it!

I've discovered an issue with using iOS 16's Transferable drag-and-drop APIs for SwiftUI. The dropDestination modifier does not work when applied to a subview of a List. This code below will not work, unless you replace the List with a VStack or any other container (which, of course, removes all list-specific rendering). The draggable modifier will still work and the item will drag, but the dropDestination view won't react to it and neither closure will be called. struct MyView: View { var body: some View { List { Section { Text("drag this title") .font(.largeTitle) .draggable("a title") } Section { Color.pink .frame(width: 400, height: 400) .dropDestination(for: String.self) { receivedTitles, location in true } isTargeted: { print($0) } } } } } Has anyone encountered this bug and perhaps found a workaround?

Using the iOS 26 beta simulator, I am experiencing a crash using the QLPreviewController. This is easily reproduced using a small sample app and a sample excel file in the bundle. It does work in prior Xcode 16.4 and simulators (18.5). I didn't find any mention of this in Xcode 26 or iOS 26 release notes but I could have missed something. I don't have a spare device to update to iOS 26 and try on a real device so it may just be a simulator issue? Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks. Error: QuickLook/QLHostRemoteViewModel.swift:37: Fatal error: No extensions could be found matching '_AppExtensionQuery(extensionPointIdentifier: "com.apple.quicklook.UIExtensionPoint", predicate: nil, hostAuditToken: nil, extensionPoint: nil, allowsDuplicates: true)' Sample view controller... import UIKit import QuickLook class ViewController: UIViewController, QLPreviewControllerDataSource { var excelFileURL: URL! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Load the Excel file (example: from bundle) if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "file_example_XLSX_100", withExtension: "xlsx") { excelFileURL = url presentPreviewController() } } func presentPreviewController() { let previewController = QLPreviewController() previewController.dataSource = self present(previewController, animated: true, completion: nil) } // MARK: - QLPreviewControllerDataSource func numberOfPreviewItems(in controller: QLPreviewController) -> Int { return 1 } func previewController(_ controller: QLPreviewController, previewItemAt index: Int) -> QLPreviewItem { return excelFileURL as QLPreviewItem } }

Prior to iOS 26, it was possible to design an inputAccessoryView(Controller) that would integrate seamlessly with the system keyboard, by which I mean appearing as a natural extension of the system keyboard. For example, using CYRKeyboardButton https://github.com/tmcintos/CYRKeyboardButton. To date, I have successfully used this to provide an enhanced numeric key row within my apps, which is a distinguishing feature of these apps. It took a lot of engineering and testing effort to perfect this design. However, with iOS 26 the design is completely broken due to the system keyboard UI change, which makes it impossible to display an inputAccessoryView seamlessly along the top of the system keyboard (see attached screenshots). In my opinion, it is just plain reckless for Apple to make these kinds of trivial UI changes, which break existing app designs without adding any significant value to the user experience. iOS ≤ 18.x: iOS 26 beta:

We're seeing a sharp uptick in BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices crashes since we migrated from UIApplicationDelegate to UIWindowSceneDelegate. Having exhausted everything on my end short of reverse engineering BaseBoard or making changes without being able to know if they work, I need help. I think all I need to get unstuck is an answer to these questions, if possible: What does -[BSSettings initWithSettings:] enumerate over? If I know what's being enumerated, I'll know what to look for in our app. What triggers FrontBoardServices to do this update? If I can reproduce the crash--or at least better understand when it may happen--I will be better able to fix it Here's two similar stack traces: App_(iOS)-crashreport-07-30-2025_1040-0600-redacted.crash App_(iOS)-crashreport-07-30-2025_1045-0600-redacted.crash Since these are private trameworks, there is no documentation or information on their behavior that I can find. There are other forum posts regarding this crash, on here and on other sites. However, I did not find any that shed any insight on the cause or conditions of the crash. Additionally, this is on iPhone, not macOS, and not iPad. This post is different, because I'm asking specific questions that can be answered by someone with familiarity on how these internal frameworks work. I'm not asking for help debugging my application, though I'd gladly take any suggestions/tips! Here's the long version, in case anyone finds it useful: In our application, we have seen a sharp rise in crashes in BaseBoard and FrontBoardServices, which are internal iOS frameworks, since we migrated our app to use UIWindowSceneDelegate. We were using exclusively UIApplicationDelegate before. The stack traces haven't proven very useful yet, because we haven't been able to reproduce the crashes ourselves. Upon searching online, we have learned that Baseboard/Frontsoardservices are probably copying scene settings upon something in the scene changing. Based on our crash reports, we know that most of our users are on an iPhone, not an iPad or macOS, so we can rule out split screen or window resizing. Our app is locked to portrait as well, so we can also rule out orientation changes. And considering the stack trace is in the middle of an objc_retain_x2 call, which is itself inside of a collection enumeration, we are assuming that whatever is being enumerated probably was changed or deallocated during enumeration. Sometimes it's objc_retain_x2, and sometimes it's a release call. And sometimes it's a completely different stack trace, but still within BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices. I suspect these all share the same cause. Because it's thread 0 that crashed, we know that BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices were running on the main thread, which means that for this crash to occur, something might be changing on a background thread. This is what leads me to suspect a race condition. There are many places in our app where we accidentally update the UI from a background thread. We've fixed many of them, but I'm sure there are more. Our app is large. Because of this, I think background UI are the most likely cause. However, since I can't reproduce the crash, and because none of our stack traces clearly show UI updates happening on another thread at the same time, I am not certain. And here's the stack trace inline, in case the attachments expire or search engines can't read them: Thread 0 name: Thread 0 Crashed: objc_retain_x2 (libobjc.A.dylib) BSIntegerMapEnumerateWithBlock (BaseBoard) -[BSSettings initWithSettings:] (BaseBoard) -[BSKeyedSettings initWithSettings:] (BaseBoard) -[FBSSettings _settings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettings _settings] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettingsDiff applyToMutableSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettingsDiff settingsByApplyingToMutableCopyOfSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSceneSettingsDiff settingsByApplyingToMutableCopyOfSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSScene updater:didUpdateSettings:withDiff:transitionContext:completion:] (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke_2 (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSWorkspace _calloutQueue_executeCalloutFromSource:withBlock:] (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke.cold.1 (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke (FrontBoardServices) _dispatch_client_callout (libdispatch.dylib) _dispatch_block_invoke_direct (libdispatch.dylib) __FBSSERIALQUEUE_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _targetQueue_performNextIfPossible] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _performNextFromRunLoopSource] (FrontBoardServices) __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopDoSource0 (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopDoSources0 (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopRun (CoreFoundation) CFRunLoopRunSpecific (CoreFoundation) GSEventRunModal (GraphicsServices) -[UIApplication _run] (UIKitCore) UIApplicationMain (UIKitCore) (null) (UIKitCore) main (AppDelegate.swift:0) 0x1ab8cbf08 + 0

I'm running into a persistent problem with the iOS 18.5 simulator in Xcode 26 beta 2. I have built a very simple test app with a storyboard that includes only a toolbar added to the ViewController scene in the storyboard. The test app runs fine in iOS 26 simulators.When I try to run it in the iOS 18.5 simulator for iPhone Pro or iPad (16), it fails while unarchiving the storyboard (as far as I can tell) with this error message in the Xcode console: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException', reason: 'Could not instantiate class named TtGC5UIKit17UICoreHostingViewVCS_21ToolbarVisualProvider8RootView because no class named TtGC5UIKit17UICoreHostingViewVCS_21ToolbarVisualProvider8RootView was found; the class needs to be defined in source code or linked in from a library (ensure the class is part of the correct target)' terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException CoreSimulator 1043 - Device: iPad (A16) (3E70E25F-8434-4541-960D-1B58EB4037F3) - Runtime: iOS 18.5 (22F77) - DeviceType: iPad (A16) I'd love a simple workaround for this.

Hello. I have an 12 year old app that still has some objective-c code in it. I have a place where i have a flip animation between 2 view controllers that looks like this: [UIView transitionFromView:origView toView:newViewController.view duration:0.5 options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight completion:nil]; It has looked like this since 2012 at least. In our production release, it works prior to 26.1, but in 26.1 and 26.2, the flip is off-center and looks weird. it's like both edges flip the same way. It's a little bit hard to explain. If seen at least 2 other app store apps that i have installed behave this way too, from 26.1 and onwards. Anyone else seen this? Is there anything that can be done about it? Thankful for thoughts.

Hi, I'm seeing an issue in iOS 26 beta related to UINavigationBar rendering in landscape. When a background color is set for the navigation bar and the device is rotated to landscape, an unexpected gap appears above the navigation bar. This also happens in the official sample project provided in Apple’s documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/customizing-your-app-s-navigation-bar Is this a bug in the beta, or is there a workaround to avoid this behavior? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm experiencing a navigation bar positioning issue with my UIKit iPad app on iPadOS 26 (23A340) using Xcode 26 (17A321). The navigation bar positions under the status bar initially, and after orientation changes to landscape, it positions incorrectly below its expected location. This occurs on both real device (iPad mini A17 Pro) and simulator. My app uses UIKit + Storyboard with a Root Navigation Controller. A stack overflow post has reproduce the bug event if it's not in the same configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79752945/xcode-26-beta-6-ipados-26-statusbar-overlaps-with-navigationbar-after-presen I have checked all safe areas and tried changing some constraints, but nothing works. Have you encountered this bug before, or do you need additional information to investigate this issue?

Starting with iOS 26 beta, I'm encountering an intermittent crash in production builds related to Auto Layout and background threading. This crash did not occur on iOS 18 or earlier and has become reproducible only on devices running iOS 26 betas. We have already performed a thorough audit of our code: • Verified that all UIKit view hierarchy and layout mutations occur on the main thread. • Re-tested with strict logging—confirmed all remaining layout/constraint/view updates are performed on the main thread. • No third-party UI SDKs are used in the relevant flow. Despite that, the crash still occurs and always from a background thread, during internal UIKit layout commits. Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Modifications to the layout engine must not be performed from a background thread after it has been accessed from the main thread. 0 MyApp 0x7adbc8 FIRCLSProcessRecordAllThreads + 172 1 MyApp 0x7adfd4 FIRCLSProcessRecordAllThreads + 1208 2 MyApp 0x7bc4b4 FIRCLSHandler + 56 3 MyApp 0x7bc25c __FIRCLSExceptionRecord_block_invoke + 100 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b7cc _dispatch_client_callout + 16 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x118a0 _dispatch_lane_barrier_sync_invoke_and_complete + 56 6 MyApp 0x7bb1f0 FIRCLSExceptionRecord + 224 7 MyApp 0x7bbd1c FIRCLSExceptionRecordNSException + 456 8 MyApp 0x7badf4 FIRCLSTerminateHandler() + 396 9 Intercom 0x86684 IntercomSDK_sentrycrashcm_cppexception_getAPI + 308 10 libc++abi.dylib 0x11bdc std::__terminate(void (*)()) + 16 11 libc++abi.dylib 0x15314 __cxa_get_exception_ptr + 86 12 libc++abi.dylib 0x152bc __cxxabiv1::failed_throw(__cxxabiv1::__cxa_exception*) + 90 13 libobjc.A.dylib 0x3190c objc_exception_throw + 448 14 CoreAutoLayout 0x13a4 -[NSISEngine optimize] + 314 15 CoreAutoLayout 0x1734 -[NSISEngine _optimizeWithoutRebuilding] + 72 16 CoreAutoLayout 0x1404 -[NSISEngine optimize] + 96 17 CoreAutoLayout 0xee8 -[NSISEngine performPendingChangeNotifications] + 104 18 UIKitCore 0x27ac8 -[UIView(Hierarchy) layoutSubviews] + 136 19 UIKitCore 0xfe760 -[UIWindow layoutSubviews] + 68 20 UIKitCore 0x234228 -[UITextEffectsWindow layoutSubviews] + 44 21 UIKitCore 0x27674 -[UIImageView animationImages] + 912 22 UIKitCore 0x28134 -[UIView(Internal) _viewControllerToNotifyOnLayoutSubviews] + 40 23 UIKitCore 0x18c2898 -[UIView(CALayerDelegate) layoutSublayersOfLayer:] + 2532 24 QuartzCore 0xabd98 CA::Layer::perform_update_(CA::Layer*, CALayer*, unsigned int, CA::Transaction*) + 116 25 QuartzCore 0x8e810 CA::Layer::update_if_needed(CA::Transaction*, unsigned int, unsigned int) + 600 26 QuartzCore 0xad45c CA::Layer::layout_and_display_if_needed(CA::Transaction*) + 200 27 QuartzCore 0x6e30c CA::Context::commit_transaction(CA::Transaction*, double, double*) + 540 28 QuartzCore 0x9afc4 CA::Transaction::commit() + 644 29 QuartzCore 0x16974c CA::Transaction::release_thread(void*) + 180 30 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x4c28 _pthread_tsd_cleanup + 620 31 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x4998 _pthread_exit + 84 32 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x5e3c pthread_atfork + 54 33 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x1440 _pthread_wqthread + 428 34 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 Any ideas?

There is a serious usability issue with PHPickerViewController in a UIKit app running on macOS 26 via Mac Catalyst when the Mac Catalyst interface is set to “Scaled to Match iPad”. Mouse click and other pointer interactions do not take place in the correct position. This means you have to click in the wrong position to select a photo and to close the picker. This basically makes it unusable. To demonstrate, use Xcode 26 on macOS 26 to create a new iOS app project based on Swift/Storyboard. Then update ViewController.swift with the following code: import UIKit import PhotosUI class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() var cfg = UIButton.Configuration.plain() cfg.title = "Photo Picker" let button = UIButton(configuration: cfg, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in self.showPicker() })) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.centerXAnchor), button.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.centerYAnchor), ]) } private func showPicker() { var config = PHPickerConfiguration() config.selectionLimit = 10 config.selection = .ordered let vc = PHPickerViewController(configuration: config) vc.delegate = self self.present(vc, animated: true) } } extension ViewController: PHPickerViewControllerDelegate { func picker(_ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) { print("Picked \(results.count) photos") dismiss(animated: true) } } Then go to the "Supported Destinations" section of the project target. Add a "Mac (Mac Catalyst)" destination. Then under the "Deployment Information" section, make sure the "Mac Catalyst Interface" setting is "Scaled to Match iPad". Then build and run the app on a Mac (using the Mac Catalyst destination) with macOS 26.0.1. Make sure the Mac has a dozen or so pictures in the Photo Library to fully demonstrate the issue. When the app is run, a simple screen appears with one button in the middle. Click the button to bring up the PHPickerViewController. Now try to interact with the picker interface. Note that all pointer interactions are in the wrong place on the screen. This makes it nearly impossible to choose the correct photos and close the picker. Quit the app. Select the project and go to the General tab. In the "Deployment Info" change the “Mac Catalyst Interface” setting to “Optimize for Mac” and run the app again. Now the photo picker works just fine. If you run the app on a Mac running macOS 15 then the photo picker works just fine with either “Mac Catalyst Interface” setting. The problem only happens under macOS 26.0 (I do not have macOS 26.1 beta to test) when the “Mac Catalyst Interface” setting is set to “Scaled to Match iPad”. This is critical for my app. I cannot use “Optimize for Mac”. There are far too many issues with that setting (I use UIStepper and UIPickerView to start). So it is critical to the usability of my app under macOS 26 that this issue be resolved. It is expected that PHPickerViewController responds correctly to pointer events on macOS 26 when running a Mac Catalyst app set to “Scaled to Match iPad”. A version of this has been filed as FB20503207

I noticed that trying to access safeAreaInsets from the active window causes an infinite run loop. This issue appeared after updating to Beta 3. Here’s an example of the code: extension UIDevice { var safeAreaInsets: UIEdgeInsets { guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene, let window = windowScene.windows.first(where: { $0.isKeyWindow }) else { return .zero } return window.safeAreaInsets } } The return doesn’t happen because it ends up in some kind of recursion.

In iOS26, when using a standalone UITabBar without UITabBarController, the liquid glass blur effect is not applied when scrollable content moves behind the tab bar. However, the blur effect appears correctly when using UITabBarController. Sample Screenshots: When using UITababr When using UITababrController Sample Code: class SimpleTabBarController: UIViewController, UITabBarDelegate { let tabBar = UITabBar() let redItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Red", image: .add, tag: 0) let blueItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Blue", image: .checkmark, tag: 1) override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .white tabBar.items = [redItem, blueItem] tabBar.selectedItem = redItem tabBar.delegate = self tabBar.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let tableContainerView = TableContainerView() view.addSubview(tableContainerView) tableContainerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ tableContainerView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), tableContainerView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), tableContainerView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), tableContainerView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor) ]) view.addSubview(tabBar) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ tabBar.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), tabBar.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), tabBar.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor) ]) }

Do you guys know how to fix the render of the text in the accessory view ? If I force the color of text to be .black it work but it will break dark mode, but forcing it .black : .white on color scheme changes makes white to still adapt to what is behind it I have noticed that Apple Music doesn’t have that artifact and it seems to break when images are behind the accessory view // MARK: - Next Routine Accessory @available(iOS 26.0, *) struct NetxRoutinesAccessory: View { @ObservedObject private var viewModel = RoutineProgressViewModel.shared @EnvironmentObject var colorSchemeManager: ColorSchemeManager @EnvironmentObject var routineStore: RoutineStore @EnvironmentObject var freemiumKit: FreemiumKit @ObservedObject var petsStore = PetsStore.shared @Environment(\.colorScheme) private var colorScheme // Tab accessory placement environment @Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) private var accessoryPlacement // Navigation callback var onTap: (() -> Void)? @State private var isButtonPressed = false /// Explicit black for light mode, white for dark mode private var textColor: Color { colorScheme == .dark ? .trueWhite : .trueBlack } /// Returns true when the accessory is in inline/minimized mode private var isInline: Bool { accessoryPlacement == .inline } var body: some View { accessoryContent() .onTapGesture { onTap?() } } private func accessoryContent() -> some View { HStack(spacing: 12) { // Content with smooth transitions VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) { if viewModel.totalTasks == 0 { Text(NSLocalizedString("Set up routines", comment: "Routines empty state")) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) } else if let next = viewModel.nextRoutineTask() { HStack(spacing: 4) { Text(NSLocalizedString("Next", comment: "Next routine prefix")) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text("•") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text(next.routine.name) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) .lineLimit(1) } .id("routine-\(next.routine.id)-\(next.time)") .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .leading))) HStack(spacing: 4) { Text(viewModel.petNames(for: next.routine.petIDs)) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text("•") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text(Routine.displayTimeFormatter.string(from: next.time)) .font(.caption.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(colorSchemeManager.accentColor ?? .blue) } .id("time-\(next.routine.id)-\(next.time)") .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .leading))) } else { // All tasks completed Text(NSLocalizedString("All done for today!", comment: "All routines completed")) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .scale)) Text("\(viewModel.completedTasks)/\(viewModel.totalTasks) " + NSLocalizedString("tasks", comment: "Tasks count suffix")) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) } } .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.3), value: viewModel.completedTasks) .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.3), value: viewModel.progress) } .padding() .contentShape(.rect) .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.35), value: viewModel.completedTasks) } }

I'm building an iPad app targeting iPadOS 26 using SwiftUI. Previously, I added a custom button by overlaying it in the top-left corner: content .overlay(alignment: .topLeading) { Button("Action") { // ... } This worked until iPadOS 26 introduced new window controls (minimize/close) in that corner, which now overlap my button. In the WWDC Session Video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/208/?time=298, they show adapting via .toolbar, but using .toolbar forces me to embed my view in a NavigationStack, which I don’t want. I really only want to add this single button, without converting the whole view structure. Constraints: No use of .toolbar (as it compels a NavigationStack). Keep existing layout—just one overlayed button. Support automatic adjustment for the new window controls across all window positions and split-screen configurations. What I’m looking for: A way to detect or read the system′s new window control safe area or layout region dynamically on iPadOS 26. Use that to offset my custom button—without adopting .toolbar. Preferably SwiftUI-only, no heavy view hierarchy changes. Is there a recommended API or SwiftUI technique to obtain the new control’s safe area (similar to a custom safeAreaInset for window controls) so I can reposition my overlayed button accordingly—without converting to NavigationStack or using .toolbar?

The sample code provided in "Building a document-based app with SwiftUI" (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building-a-document-based-app-with-swiftui) does not work as expected. The DocumentGroup/StoryView toolbar does not appear for documents opened in the App. By removing the DocumentGroupLaunchScene block from the App the toolbar does appear and works as expected - but of course the App's DocumentGroupLaunchScene customizations are lost. I've tested this on 18.0 devices, as well as production 18.0 and 18.1 beta 6 simulators. If I modify the StoryView by wrapping the content in a NavigationStack I can make some progress - but the results are unstable and hard to pin down - with this change the first time a document is opened in the WritingApp the toolbar appears as expected. When opening a document subsequently the toolbar is corrupted. Please is this a bug or is there a good example of incorporate both DocumentGroupLaunchScene customizations at the App level and retina the toolbar in documents presented via DocumentGroup?
