self.window.isVisible = NO not working in windowDidLoad
The following code won't work: - (void)windowDidLoad { [super windowDidLoad]; self.window.isVisible = NO; } The only main window still shows on application startup (in a minimal newly created app). One of my published apps in App Store relies on this behavior which had been working for many years since I started Xcode development.

App Clip is installed but not displayed on the device.
Hello, I am new to App Clip development. I have uploaded a build with app clip to App Store Connect and the build is visible on the TestFlight. I am able to open the App Clip via TestFlight and I do see everything working, but the app clip is not getting added in Recent Apps folder and is no where found on the device. If I want to launch the app clip again, I have to scan the QR code again. When I use other app clips, like Panera Bread, the app clip stays in my Recent App/Recently Added folder. My app clip size is close to 75MB. Is the app clip not in Recently Added folder because the app clip is installed from TestFlight or is it happening because of the app clip size? Thanks!

On iOS 16, VoiceOver will not speak "¥1,230" in Japanese.
In iOS 16, VoiceOver no longer speaks numbers such as “¥1,230" in Japanese, which worked correctly in iOS 15 and earlier. This is a very important bug in Accessibility support. Steps to reproduce Create iOS App Project on Xcode. (I used Xcode 14) Set the Development Localization to "Japanese" on the project settings. (to make VoiceOver speak Japanese) For example, write the following code. Build and run the App targeting the actual device, not the simulator. Actual devices running iOS 15 or earlier will correctly read out loud with VoiceOver, while iOS 16 will have some reading problems. import SwiftUI @main struct VoiceOverProblemApp: App {   var body: some Scene {     WindowGroup {       // on project settings, set the development localization to Japanese.       VStack {         // ✅ said "Hello, world!"         Text("Hello, world!")                   // ✅ said "残高 (ざんだか, zan-daka)"         Text("残高")                   // ❌ said nothing (until iOS 15 or earlier, said "千二百三十円 (せんにひゃくさんじゅうえん, sen-nihyaku-san-ju-yen)"         Text("¥1,230")                   // ❌ said wrong         //  correct (iOS 15 or earlier):  "残高は千二百三十円です (zan-daka wa sen-nihyaku-san-ju-yen desu)"         //  incorrect (iOS 16)      : "残高はです (zan-daka wa desu)"         Text("残高は ¥1,230 です")       }     }   } } The above sample code uses SwiftUI's Text but the same problem occurs with UIKit's UILabel.

Trigger save of a FileDocument in a DocumentGroup?
I have a DocumentGroup working with a FileDocument, and that's fine. However, when someone creates a new document I want them to have to immediately save it. This is the behavior on ipadOS and iOS from what I can understand (you select where before the file is created). There seems to be no way to do this on macOS? I basically want to have someone: create a new document enter some basic data hit "create" which saves the file then lets the user start editing it (1), (2), and (4) are done and fairly trivial. (3) seems impossible, though...? This really only needs to support macOS but any pointers would be appreciated.

Unable to load data from Core Data in SwiftUI app (very rare)
Hey, We're loading data from Core Data, and for some reason an error is thrown. This is happening extremely rarely and we haven't been able to reproduce it. The error thrown has the following description: Åtgärden kunde inte slutföras. (ScreenGenieCore.EnrolledView.(unknown context at $10087af4c).EnrolledError fel 0.) It is occurring in an app written in SwiftUI when the user taps a button. The managed object context is initiated in app init and provided to the view using the @environment modifier. So the viewContext should always exist. Still it throws an error saying unknown context .... Any guidance or possible things to investigate would be much appreciated.

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?

Save fails after Save As
I have an app with two file types with the following extensions: gop (an exported type), sgf (an imported type). The Save command fails after the following sequence of events: I open a gop file, say the file "A.gop". I save this file as an sgf file, say "A.sgf". This Save As works perfectly and the document name in the document’s title bar has changed to "A.sgf". I change something in the document and then try to Save this change. This should just resave the document to "A.sgf", but "A.sgf" remains untouched. Instead I get a system alert with the message The document “A.sgf” could not be saved. A file with the name “A.gop” already exists. To save the file, either provide a different name, or move aside or delete the existing file, and try again. In the Xcode console I get the following diagnostic: NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: an error was received from pboxd instead of a token. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: 2 [NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/A.sgf, newURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/A.gop The problem seems to relate to the sandbox. But I am at a loss to find a solution. (After closing the alert, I check that A.sgf did not register the change.) If I open an sgf file, say "B.sgf", save it as "B.gop", make a change in the document and then try to save this change (into "B.gop"), I hit the same problem, with "gop" and "sgf" interchanged. If, instead of saving "A.gop" as "A.sgf", I save it as "B.sgf", make a change in the document and then try to save this change into "B.sgf", I get the following system alert: The document “B.sgf” could not be saved. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. And in the Xcode console I get the following diagnostic: NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: an error was received from pboxd instead of a token. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: 2 [NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/B.sgf, newURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/B.gop Again the sandbox ! (After closing the alert, I check that B.sgf did not register the change.) It’s clear my code is missing something, but what?

MacOs folder watch application
I'm trying to write a Mac OS swift application that perform some processing each time a file is added to a directory (std folder automation is very slow ...). I want the application to run in background without GUI. I created an AppDelegate.swift with an applicationDidFinishLaunching function which seems to be never called. As a newbie I'm completely struggling : could someone help or guide me to any relevant resource (book, blog ...) Thx in advance code.txt

How to capture the currently pressed key when a TextField is in focus?
In the attached code snippet: struct ContentView: View { @State private var vText: String = "" var body: some View { TextField("Enter text", text: Binding( get: { vText }, set: { newValue in print("Text will change to: \(newValue)") vText = newValue } )) } } I have access to the newValue of the text-field whenever the text-field content changes, but how do I detect which key was pressed? I can manually get the diff between previous state and the new value to get the last pressed char but is there a simpler way? Also this approach won't let me detect any modifier keys (such as Alt, Ctrl etc) that the user may have pressed. Is there a pure swift-ui approach to detect these key presses?

UI freeze during layouting
One of our users reported a very strange bug where our app freezes and eventually crashes on some screen transitions. From different crash logs we could determine that the app freezes up when we call view.layoutIfNeeded() for animating constraint changes. It then gets killed by the watchdog 10 seconds later: Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: FRONTBOARD 2343432205 <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation:scene-update watchdog transgression: app<bundleID(2A01F261-3554-44C0-B5A9-EBEB446484AD)>:6921 exhausted real (wall clock) time allowance of 10.00 seconds ProcessVisibility: Background ProcessState: Running WatchdogEvent: scene-update WatchdogVisibility: Background WatchdogCPUStatistics: ( "Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 24.320 (user 18.860, system 5.460), 29% CPU", "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 10.630, 12% CPU" ) reportType:CrashLog maxTerminationResistance:Interactive> The crash stack trace looks slightly different, depending on the UI transition that is happening.

Remove "copy cursor" when dragging a view in SwiftUI
Hi, Im new to SwiftUI and Im trying to implement some drag and drop functionality for some tabs in my application. Im using .draggable(_) and .dropDestination for this and the issue I have is that as I drag the view, the mouse cursor changes to the copy cursor with the green plus sign and I don't like it but I can't figure out how to avoid it. Any help would be appreciated.

Can SwiftUI.Picker.segmented make one or more segments disable in iOS 16?
I'm trying to make one of my segments disable and configure different font color. I'm able to achieve it by using .selectionDisabled(), which is only available in iOS 17 +. I am wondering if there's an alternative for iOS 16. Thank you import SwiftUI struct MySegment: Hashable { let label: String let isDisabled: Bool } struct MySegmentedControlView: View { @State var selection: String = "item1" let data: [MySegment] = [ MySegment(label: "item1", isDisabled: false), MySegment(label: "item2", isDisabled: false), MySegment(label: "item3", isDisabled: true) ] init() { UISegmentedControl.appearance().backgroundColor = .red.withAlphaComponent(0.15) UISegmentedControl.appearance().selectedSegmentTintColor = .red UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.white], for: .selected) UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.gray], for: .normal) UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.systemGray6], for: .disabled) } var body: some View { VStack { Picker("", selection: $selection) { ForEach(data, id: \.label) { if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { Text($0.label) .selectionDisabled($0.isDisabled) } else { Text($0.label) .tag($0.label) .disabled($0.isDisabled) } } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) } .padding() } }

Migrating SwiftUI lifecycle to UIKit's
Hi, everyone I have an app already in production that uses SwiftUI's lifecycle (paired with an AppDelegate). Due to some specific behaviour of the app, we decided to migrate the app to use UIKit's lifecycle, adding the corresponding SceneDelegate to the app, as well as modifying the Info.plist file accordingly to accommodate to these new changes. Although everything seems to work when installing the app from zero, when installing it on top of another version, the screen goes black and the user cannot interact with the app at all unless they reinstall it completely. As I've read online, iOS is reusing the window configuration from the previous execution of the app. I know this because the AppDelegate's application(application:connectingSceneSession:options) is not being called when coming from a previous version of the app. I would love to know what can I do to make this work because, as you may understand, we cannot ask our user base to reinstall the application. Thank you very much.

Menu Bar Icon NOT Showing Up
Hi, I'm trying to make a weather menu bar app, and I want to have it so that the icon of the app in the menu changes with the actual weather, but the icon isn't showing up. There is still a space in the menu bar where I can click and open the app, it's just that the icon has disappeared. Any ideas to fix it?

.onTapGesture does not work when SwiftUI component sits in a flipped NSVIew
Take a look at this simple code: import Cocoa import SwiftUI struct DemoView: View { var body: some View { Text("Click me!") .onTapGesture { print("Clicked") } } } class FlippedView: NSView { override var isFlipped: Bool { return true } } class ViewController: NSViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let stackView = NSStackView() stackView.orientation = .vertical stackView.alignment = .leading stackView.spacing = 0 stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let hostView = NSHostingView(rootView: DemoView()) stackView.addArrangedSubview(hostView) let scrollView = NSScrollView() scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let flippedView = FlippedView() flippedView.addSubview(stackView) scrollView.documentView = flippedView view.addSubview(scrollView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor), ]) } } I need my scroll view to start at the very top, so i put it inside a flipped document view. But now .onTapGesture does not fire.

Unable to start a live activity
I'm unable to get live activity to show up in my app so I started to play with the demo app Emoji Rangers. The demo project initially only created a live activity in-app and then you're able to update it via the demo buttons. I added the following code to have it be able to start a live activity from the backend: func observePushToStartToken() { Task { for await data in Activity.pushToStartTokenUpdates { let token = data.map {String(format: "%02x", $0)}.joined() // Send token to the server print("got PUSHTOSTART TOKEN: (token)") } } } I get the token and then I use it to send this payload that should start the activity: { "aps":{ "timestamp":1743719911, "event":"start", "content-state":{ "currentHealthLevel":100, "eventDescription":"Adventure has begun!", "supercharged":true }, "input-push-token":1, "attributes-type":"AdventureAttributes", "attributes":{ "currentHealthLevel":100, "eventDescription":"Adventure has begun!", "supercharged":true }, "alert":{ "title":{ "loc-key":"%@ is on an adventure!", "loc-args":[ "Power Panda" ] }, "body":{ "loc-key":"%@ found a sword!", "loc-args":[ "Power Panda" ] }, "sound":"chime.aiff" } } } But unfortunately I get an error when I send it: [AdventureAttributes] Error creating activity: NSCocoaErrorDomain (4865) The data couldn't be read because it is missing. First step is to get this working, so I want to get your help in figuring out what I'm missing.

Keyboard doesn't close if QuickType bar is open for password auto-fill in SwiftUI when using associated domains.
Description Our app (and sample app) are using associated domains to support deep linking. As an unintended side effect we get full support for auto-filling passwords with the QuickType bar on our login screen. However, after the username and password fields are filled and the user taps the Login button, the keyboard stays on screen. We have tried everything I can think of including @FocusState UIKit resignFirstResponder, and many other iterations of testing. Our login screen is in a fullscreencover or sheet. When the sheet dismisses the keyboard stays. In my sample app if I use a navigation stack and push the next view onto the stack, the keyboard closes. I can't provide a useful video because the iOS screen recorder will hide the keyboard when focus is in a SecureField. Note: If we remove the associated domain from the project everything works as expected. Code Example struct ContentView: View { @State private var name: String = "" @State private var password: String = "" @State private var showLogin = false @FocusState private var isFocused: Bool var body: some View { VStack { Button("Login") { showLogin.toggle() } } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $showLogin) { VStack { TextField("Enter your name", text: $name) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .focused($isFocused) SecureField("Enter password", text: $password) .autocapitalization(.none) .autocorrectionDisabled(true) .textContentType(.password) .focused($isFocused) Button("Login") { isFocused = false showLogin = false } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } } } } Steps to Reproduce Launch sample app Tap 'Login' Place keyboard focus in the first text field (name) Keyboard with QuickType bar opens Tap 'Passwords' Create a new password for this login item (choose any username) Passwords will close Tap 'Login' to close the sheet Force close the app Reopen the app Tap 'Login' Place keyboard focus in the first text field (name) Keyboard with QuickType” bar opens Tap the auto-fill password button (password for atomicrobot.com in my case) User name and password fields are filled out Keyboard with QuickType bar is still open; keyboard focus is in "password" field Tap 'Login' Sheet closes, keyboard is still open

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 **

App Clip is installed but not displayed on the device.
Hello, I am new to App Clip development. I have uploaded a build with app clip to App Store Connect and the build is visible on the TestFlight. I am able to open the App Clip via TestFlight and I do see everything working, but the app clip is not getting added in Recent Apps folder and is no where found on the device. If I want to launch the app clip again, I have to scan the QR code again. When I use other app clips, like Panera Bread, the app clip stays in my Recent App/Recently Added folder. My app clip size is close to 75MB. Is the app clip not in Recently Added folder because the app clip is installed from TestFlight or is it happening because of the app clip size? Thanks!

On iOS 16, VoiceOver will not speak "¥1,230" in Japanese.
In iOS 16, VoiceOver no longer speaks numbers such as “¥1,230" in Japanese, which worked correctly in iOS 15 and earlier. This is a very important bug in Accessibility support. Steps to reproduce Create iOS App Project on Xcode. (I used Xcode 14) Set the Development Localization to "Japanese" on the project settings. (to make VoiceOver speak Japanese) For example, write the following code. Build and run the App targeting the actual device, not the simulator. Actual devices running iOS 15 or earlier will correctly read out loud with VoiceOver, while iOS 16 will have some reading problems. import SwiftUI @main struct VoiceOverProblemApp: App {   var body: some Scene {     WindowGroup {       // on project settings, set the development localization to Japanese.       VStack {         // ✅ said "Hello, world!"         Text("Hello, world!")                   // ✅ said "残高 (ざんだか, zan-daka)"         Text("残高")                   // ❌ said nothing (until iOS 15 or earlier, said "千二百三十円 (せんにひゃくさんじゅうえん, sen-nihyaku-san-ju-yen)"         Text("¥1,230")                   // ❌ said wrong         //  correct (iOS 15 or earlier):  "残高は千二百三十円です (zan-daka wa sen-nihyaku-san-ju-yen desu)"         //  incorrect (iOS 16)      : "残高はです (zan-daka wa desu)"         Text("残高は ¥1,230 です")       }     }   } } The above sample code uses SwiftUI's Text but the same problem occurs with UIKit's UILabel.

Trigger save of a FileDocument in a DocumentGroup?
I have a DocumentGroup working with a FileDocument, and that's fine. However, when someone creates a new document I want them to have to immediately save it. This is the behavior on ipadOS and iOS from what I can understand (you select where before the file is created). There seems to be no way to do this on macOS? I basically want to have someone: create a new document enter some basic data hit "create" which saves the file then lets the user start editing it (1), (2), and (4) are done and fairly trivial. (3) seems impossible, though...? This really only needs to support macOS but any pointers would be appreciated.

Unable to load data from Core Data in SwiftUI app (very rare)
Hey, We're loading data from Core Data, and for some reason an error is thrown. This is happening extremely rarely and we haven't been able to reproduce it. The error thrown has the following description: Åtgärden kunde inte slutföras. (ScreenGenieCore.EnrolledView.(unknown context at $10087af4c).EnrolledError fel 0.) It is occurring in an app written in SwiftUI when the user taps a button. The managed object context is initiated in app init and provided to the view using the @environment modifier. So the viewContext should always exist. Still it throws an error saying unknown context .... Any guidance or possible things to investigate would be much appreciated.

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?

Save fails after Save As
I have an app with two file types with the following extensions: gop (an exported type), sgf (an imported type). The Save command fails after the following sequence of events: I open a gop file, say the file "A.gop". I save this file as an sgf file, say "A.sgf". This Save As works perfectly and the document name in the document’s title bar has changed to "A.sgf". I change something in the document and then try to Save this change. This should just resave the document to "A.sgf", but "A.sgf" remains untouched. Instead I get a system alert with the message The document “A.sgf” could not be saved. A file with the name “A.gop” already exists. To save the file, either provide a different name, or move aside or delete the existing file, and try again. In the Xcode console I get the following diagnostic: NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: an error was received from pboxd instead of a token. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: 2 [NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/A.sgf, newURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/A.gop The problem seems to relate to the sandbox. But I am at a loss to find a solution. (After closing the alert, I check that A.sgf did not register the change.) If I open an sgf file, say "B.sgf", save it as "B.gop", make a change in the document and then try to save this change (into "B.gop"), I hit the same problem, with "gop" and "sgf" interchanged. If, instead of saving "A.gop" as "A.sgf", I save it as "B.sgf", make a change in the document and then try to save this change into "B.sgf", I get the following system alert: The document “B.sgf” could not be saved. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File &gt; Get Info. And in the Xcode console I get the following diagnostic: NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: an error was received from pboxd instead of a token. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: 2 [NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/B.sgf, newURL: file:///Users/francois/Desktop/B.gop Again the sandbox ! (After closing the alert, I check that B.sgf did not register the change.) It’s clear my code is missing something, but what?

How to capture the currently pressed key when a TextField is in focus?
In the attached code snippet: struct ContentView: View { @State private var vText: String = "" var body: some View { TextField("Enter text", text: Binding( get: { vText }, set: { newValue in print("Text will change to: \(newValue)") vText = newValue } )) } } I have access to the newValue of the text-field whenever the text-field content changes, but how do I detect which key was pressed? I can manually get the diff between previous state and the new value to get the last pressed char but is there a simpler way? Also this approach won't let me detect any modifier keys (such as Alt, Ctrl etc) that the user may have pressed. Is there a pure swift-ui approach to detect these key presses?

UI freeze during layouting
One of our users reported a very strange bug where our app freezes and eventually crashes on some screen transitions. From different crash logs we could determine that the app freezes up when we call view.layoutIfNeeded() for animating constraint changes. It then gets killed by the watchdog 10 seconds later: Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: FRONTBOARD 2343432205 <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation:scene-update watchdog transgression: app<bundleID(2A01F261-3554-44C0-B5A9-EBEB446484AD)>:6921 exhausted real (wall clock) time allowance of 10.00 seconds ProcessVisibility: Background ProcessState: Running WatchdogEvent: scene-update WatchdogVisibility: Background WatchdogCPUStatistics: ( "Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 24.320 (user 18.860, system 5.460), 29% CPU", "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 10.630, 12% CPU" ) reportType:CrashLog maxTerminationResistance:Interactive> The crash stack trace looks slightly different, depending on the UI transition that is happening.

Remove "copy cursor" when dragging a view in SwiftUI
Hi, Im new to SwiftUI and Im trying to implement some drag and drop functionality for some tabs in my application. Im using .draggable(_) and .dropDestination for this and the issue I have is that as I drag the view, the mouse cursor changes to the copy cursor with the green plus sign and I don't like it but I can't figure out how to avoid it. Any help would be appreciated.

Can SwiftUI.Picker.segmented make one or more segments disable in iOS 16?
I'm trying to make one of my segments disable and configure different font color. I'm able to achieve it by using .selectionDisabled(), which is only available in iOS 17 +. I am wondering if there's an alternative for iOS 16. Thank you import SwiftUI struct MySegment: Hashable { let label: String let isDisabled: Bool } struct MySegmentedControlView: View { @State var selection: String = "item1" let data: [MySegment] = [ MySegment(label: "item1", isDisabled: false), MySegment(label: "item2", isDisabled: false), MySegment(label: "item3", isDisabled: true) ] init() { UISegmentedControl.appearance().backgroundColor = .red.withAlphaComponent(0.15) UISegmentedControl.appearance().selectedSegmentTintColor = .red UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.white], for: .selected) UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.gray], for: .normal) UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.systemGray6], for: .disabled) } var body: some View { VStack { Picker("", selection: $selection) { ForEach(data, id: \.label) { if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { Text($0.label) .selectionDisabled($0.isDisabled) } else { Text($0.label) .tag($0.label) .disabled($0.isDisabled) } } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) } .padding() } }

Migrating SwiftUI lifecycle to UIKit's
Hi, everyone I have an app already in production that uses SwiftUI's lifecycle (paired with an AppDelegate). Due to some specific behaviour of the app, we decided to migrate the app to use UIKit's lifecycle, adding the corresponding SceneDelegate to the app, as well as modifying the Info.plist file accordingly to accommodate to these new changes. Although everything seems to work when installing the app from zero, when installing it on top of another version, the screen goes black and the user cannot interact with the app at all unless they reinstall it completely. As I've read online, iOS is reusing the window configuration from the previous execution of the app. I know this because the AppDelegate's application(application:connectingSceneSession:options) is not being called when coming from a previous version of the app. I would love to know what can I do to make this work because, as you may understand, we cannot ask our user base to reinstall the application. Thank you very much.

Menu Bar Icon NOT Showing Up
Hi, I'm trying to make a weather menu bar app, and I want to have it so that the icon of the app in the menu changes with the actual weather, but the icon isn't showing up. There is still a space in the menu bar where I can click and open the app, it's just that the icon has disappeared. Any ideas to fix it?

.onTapGesture does not work when SwiftUI component sits in a flipped NSVIew
Take a look at this simple code: import Cocoa import SwiftUI struct DemoView: View { var body: some View { Text("Click me!") .onTapGesture { print("Clicked") } } } class FlippedView: NSView { override var isFlipped: Bool { return true } } class ViewController: NSViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let stackView = NSStackView() stackView.orientation = .vertical stackView.alignment = .leading stackView.spacing = 0 stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let hostView = NSHostingView(rootView: DemoView()) stackView.addArrangedSubview(hostView) let scrollView = NSScrollView() scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false let flippedView = FlippedView() flippedView.addSubview(stackView) scrollView.documentView = flippedView view.addSubview(scrollView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ scrollView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), scrollView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), scrollView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), scrollView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor), ]) } } I need my scroll view to start at the very top, so i put it inside a flipped document view. But now .onTapGesture does not fire.

Unable to start a live activity
I'm unable to get live activity to show up in my app so I started to play with the demo app Emoji Rangers. The demo project initially only created a live activity in-app and then you're able to update it via the demo buttons. I added the following code to have it be able to start a live activity from the backend: func observePushToStartToken() { Task { for await data in Activity.pushToStartTokenUpdates { let token = data.map {String(format: "%02x", $0)}.joined() // Send token to the server print("got PUSHTOSTART TOKEN: (token)") } } } I get the token and then I use it to send this payload that should start the activity: { "aps":{ "timestamp":1743719911, "event":"start", "content-state":{ "currentHealthLevel":100, "eventDescription":"Adventure has begun!", "supercharged":true }, "input-push-token":1, "attributes-type":"AdventureAttributes", "attributes":{ "currentHealthLevel":100, "eventDescription":"Adventure has begun!", "supercharged":true }, "alert":{ "title":{ "loc-key":"%@ is on an adventure!", "loc-args":[ "Power Panda" ] }, "body":{ "loc-key":"%@ found a sword!", "loc-args":[ "Power Panda" ] }, "sound":"chime.aiff" } } } But unfortunately I get an error when I send it: [AdventureAttributes] Error creating activity: NSCocoaErrorDomain (4865) The data couldn't be read because it is missing. First step is to get this working, so I want to get your help in figuring out what I'm missing.

Keyboard doesn't close if QuickType bar is open for password auto-fill in SwiftUI when using associated domains.
Description Our app (and sample app) are using associated domains to support deep linking. As an unintended side effect we get full support for auto-filling passwords with the QuickType bar on our login screen. However, after the username and password fields are filled and the user taps the Login button, the keyboard stays on screen. We have tried everything I can think of including @FocusState UIKit resignFirstResponder, and many other iterations of testing. Our login screen is in a fullscreencover or sheet. When the sheet dismisses the keyboard stays. In my sample app if I use a navigation stack and push the next view onto the stack, the keyboard closes. I can't provide a useful video because the iOS screen recorder will hide the keyboard when focus is in a SecureField. Note: If we remove the associated domain from the project everything works as expected. Code Example struct ContentView: View { @State private var name: String = "" @State private var password: String = "" @State private var showLogin = false @FocusState private var isFocused: Bool var body: some View { VStack { Button("Login") { showLogin.toggle() } } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $showLogin) { VStack { TextField("Enter your name", text: $name) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .focused($isFocused) SecureField("Enter password", text: $password) .autocapitalization(.none) .autocorrectionDisabled(true) .textContentType(.password) .focused($isFocused) Button("Login") { isFocused = false showLogin = false } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } } } } Steps to Reproduce Launch sample app Tap 'Login' Place keyboard focus in the first text field (name) Keyboard with QuickType bar opens Tap 'Passwords' Create a new password for this login item (choose any username) Passwords will close Tap 'Login' to close the sheet Force close the app Reopen the app Tap 'Login' Place keyboard focus in the first text field (name) Keyboard with QuickType” bar opens Tap the auto-fill password button (password for atomicrobot.com in my case) User name and password fields are filled out Keyboard with QuickType bar is still open; keyboard focus is in "password" field Tap 'Login' Sheet closes, keyboard is still open

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 **
