LongPressGesture.updating(_:body:)
Hello, I'm using LongPressGesture to provide haptic & color change feedback on a long press action. This fails to call the .updating(_:body:) method on every iOS 18.0 beta. It works fine on iOS 17. The following code, taken directly from Apple's documentation illustrates the problem. The .updating() closure is never called, while the .onEnded() closure is called correctly. Instead of a gradual color transition the example code generates a delayed sharp switch from Red to Blue, preventing interactive user feedback. struct LongPressGestureView: View { @GestureState private var isDetectingLongPress = false @State private var completedLongPress = false var longPress: some Gesture { LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 3) .updating($isDetectingLongPress) { currentState, gestureState, transaction in gestureState = currentState transaction.animation = Animation.easeIn(duration: 2.0) } .onEnded { finished in self.completedLongPress = finished } } var body: some View { Circle() .fill(self.isDetectingLongPress ? Color.red : (self.completedLongPress ? Color.green : Color.blue)) .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center) .gesture(longPress) } } Can anyone share tips on a workaround or potential fix application-side?

26.1b4 breaks zoom transition from tabViewBottomAccessory when fullScreenCover item is non-trivial Binding
Filed in Feedback as FB20772137 Zoom transition originating from inside tabViewBottomAccessory, when the binding passed to fullScreenCover's item is a Binding other than a "$-synthesized" binding, the animation fails with the following error (and crucially fails to perform the desired animation): Starting a zoom transition from a nil view will trigger a fallback transition. To get the best possible teansition, be sure to provide a view that's visible and in a window. What I want to do is pass a binding to a property inside an ObservableObject (or @Observable, but it doesn't matter) to hold the item representing the presentation. But this stopped working as of 26.1b4. It worked in 26.1b3 and in 26.0 (and 26.0.1) Here's the gist of code that will reproduce the issue (I've omitted irrelevant details in the interest of brevity): struct ContentView: View { @Binding var presentation: PresentationDestination? @Namespace private var animation var body: some View { // Omitted TabView stuff… .tabViewBottomAccessory { miniPlayer .matchedTransitionSource( id: "player", in: animation ) } .fullScreenCover( item: $presentation, content: { _ in fullScreenPlayer .navigationTransition( .zoom( sourceID: "player", in: animation ) ) }) } As you can see, ContentView takes a Binding to the presentation, but it matters how this binding is constructed. This works: @State private var presentation: PresentationDestination … ContentView(presentation: $presentation) This fails (as does ObservableObject with @Published): @Observable class Router2 { var presentation: PresentationDestination? } … @State private var router2 = Router2() … ContentView(presentation: $router2.presentation) Also, this fails: @State private var presentation: PresentationDestination … ContentView( presentation: .init(get: { presentation }, set: { newValue in presentation = newValue }) ) These differences are unexpected, of course. I consider this a regression in 26.1b4 I should add that if I move the source of the transition to somewhere outside tabViewBottomAccessory things seem to work fine.

iOS 26 navigationTransition .zoom issue
When I dismiss a view presented with .navigationTransition(.zoom), the source view gets a weird background (black or white depending on the appearance) for a couple of seconds, and then it disappears. Here’s a simple code example. import SwiftUI struct NavigationTransition: View { @Namespace private var namespace @State private var isSecondViewPresented = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { ZStack { DetailView(namespace: namespace) .onTapGesture { isSecondViewPresented = true } } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isSecondViewPresented) { SecondView() .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "world", in: namespace)) } } } } struct DetailView: View { var namespace: Namespace.ID var body: some View { ZStack { Color.blue Text("Hello World!") .foregroundStyle(.white) .matchedTransitionSource(id: "world", in: namespace) } .ignoresSafeArea() } } struct SecondView: View { var body: some View { ZStack { Color.green Image(systemName: "globe") .foregroundStyle(Color.red) } .ignoresSafeArea() } } #Preview { NavigationTransition() }

Xcode_26_beta_4 iOS 26 func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView?
It looks like we're encountering a similar hitTest issue to what we had with iOS Xcode 16 + iOS 18. When running Xcode 26 + iOS 26, rootViewController?.view.subviews is returning an empty array, even though the views are clearly present in the hierarchy. Last year, we "fixed" this issue using the code attached, but it doesn't seem to work anymore with iOS 26. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! private class PassthroughWindow: UIWindow { override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? { guard let hitView = super.hitTest(point, with: event), let rootView = rootViewController?.view else { return nil } if #available(iOS 18, *) { for subview in rootView.subviews.reversed() { let convertedPoint = subview.convert(point, from: rootView) if subview.hitTest(convertedPoint, with: event) != nil { return hitView } } return nil } else { return hitView == rootView ? nil : hitView } } }

Swift Charts - weak scrolling performance
Hello there! I wanted to give a native scrolling mechanism for the Swift Charts Graph a try and experiment a bit if the scenario that we try to achieve might be possible, but it seems that the Swift Charts scrolling performance is very poor. The graph was created as follows: X-axis is created based on a date range, Y-axis is created based on an integer values between moreless 0-320 value. the graph is scrollable horizontally only (x-axis), The time range (x-axis) for the scrolling content was set to one year from now date (so the user can scroll one year into the past as a minimum visible date (.chartXScale). The X-axis shows 3 hours of data per screen width (.chartXVisibleDomain). The data points for the graph are generated once when screen is about to appear so that the Charts engine can use it (no lazy loading implemented yet). The line data points (LineMark views) consist of 2880 data points distributed every 5 minutes which simulates - two days of continuous data stream that we want to present. The rest of the graph displays no data at all. The performance result: The graph on the initial loading phase is frozen for about 10-15 seconds until the data appears on the graph. Scrolling is very laggy - the CPU usage is 100% and is unacceptable for the end users. If we show no data at all on the graph (so no LineMark views are created at all) - the result is similar - the empty graph scrolling is also very laggy. Below I am sharing a test code: @main struct ChartsTestApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() Spacer() } } } struct LineDataPoint: Identifiable, Equatable { var id: Int let date: Date let value: Int } actor TestData { func generate(startDate: Date) async -> [LineDataPoint] { var values: [LineDataPoint] = [] for i in 0..<(1440 * 2) { values.append( LineDataPoint( id: i, date: startDate.addingTimeInterval( TimeInterval(60 * 5 * i) // Every 5 minutes ), value: Int.random(in: 1...100) ) ) } return values } } struct ContentView: View { var startDate: Date { return endDate.addingTimeInterval(-3600*24*30*12) // one year into the past from now } let endDate = Date() @State var dataPoints: [LineDataPoint] = [] var body: some View { Chart { ForEach(dataPoints) { item in LineMark( x: .value("Date", item.date), y: .value("Value", item.value), series: .value("Series", "Test") ) } } .frame(height: 200) .chartScrollableAxes(.horizontal) .chartYAxis(.hidden) .chartXScale(domain: startDate...endDate) // one year possibility to scroll back .chartXVisibleDomain(length: 3600 * 3) // 3 hours visible on screen .onAppear { Task { dataPoints = await TestData().generate(startDate: startDate) } } } } I would be grateful for any insights or suggestions on how to improve it or if it's planned to be improved in the future. Currently, I use UIKit CollectionView where we split the graph into smaller chunks of the graph and we present the SwiftUI Chart content in the cells, so we use the scrolling offered there. I wonder if it's possible to use native SwiftUI for such a scenario so that later on we could also implement some kind of lazy loading of the data as the user scrolls into the past.

CoreText' CTRunDraw can't draw underline attribute in iOS18 with Xcode 16 beta
demo code : - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); // Flip the coordinate system CGContextSetTextMatrix(context, CGAffineTransformIdentity); CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.bounds.size.height); CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0); NSDictionary *attrs = @{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20], NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor blueColor], NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: @(NSUnderlineStyleThick), }; // Make an attributed string NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Hello CoreText!" attributes:attrs]; CFAttributedStringRef attributedStringRef = (__bridge CFAttributedStringRef)attributedString; // Simple CoreText with CTFrameDraw CTFramesetterRef framesetter = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString(attributedStringRef); CGPathRef path = CGPathCreateWithRect(self.bounds,NULL); CTFrameRef frame = CTFramesetterCreateFrame(framesetter,CFRangeMake(0, 0),path,NULL); //CTFrameDraw(frame, context); // You can comment the line 'CTFrameDraw' and use the following lines // draw with CTLineDraw CFArrayRef lines = CTFrameGetLines(frame); CGPoint lineOrigins[CFArrayGetCount(lines)]; CTFrameGetLineOrigins(frame, CFRangeMake(0, 0), lineOrigins); for (int i = 0; i < CFArrayGetCount(lines); i++) { CTLineRef line = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(lines, i); CGContextSetTextPosition(context, lineOrigins[i].x, lineOrigins[i].y); // CTLineDraw(line, context); // You can comment the line 'CTLineDraw' and use the following lines // draw with CTRunDraw // use CTRunDraw will lost some attributes like NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, // so you need draw it by yourself CFArrayRef runs = CTLineGetGlyphRuns(line); for (int j = 0; j < CFArrayGetCount(runs); j++) { CTRunRef run = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(runs, j); CTRunDraw(run, context, CFRangeMake(0, 0)); } } } this code will use CTRunDraw to draw the content , and the underline will draw and show normally in iOS17 & Xcode 15 , But when you build it with XCode16 & iOS18 beta . the underline will be missing .

iOS 14.3 UITextField leak?
Why is the UIKeyboard implementation still holding a reference to this UITextField, thus keeping it from being deallocated? The memory debugger shows: UIKeyboardImpl -> UIKBAutofillController -> NSMutableDictionary -> NSMutable...(Storage) -> UITextField Any idea what's going on there?

UISegmentedControl Not Switching Segments on iOS Beta 26
While testing my application on iOS beta 26, I am experiencing issues with the native UISegmentedControl component from UIKit. After implementing the control, I noticed that I am unable to switch to the second segment option—the selection remains fixed on the first segment regardless of user interaction. I have already reviewed the initial configuration of the control, the addition of the segments, and the implementation of the target-action, but the issue persists. I would like to understand what could be causing this behavior and if there are any specific adjustments or workarounds for iOS 26. I created a minimal application containing only a UISegmentedControl to clearly demonstrate the issue.

Combining Matched Geometry with New Zoom Navigation Transitions in iOS 18
With the introduction of the new matchedTransitionSource from iOS 18, we can apply a zoom transition in the navigation view using .navigationTransition(.zoom) This works well for zoom animations. However, when I try to apply a matched geometry effect to views that are similar in the source and destination views, the zoom transition works, but those views don't transition seamlessly as they do with a matched geometry effect. Is it possible to still use matched geometry for subviews of the source and destination views along with the new navigationTransition? Here’s a little demo that reproduces this behaviour: struct ContentView: View { let colors: [[Color]] = [ [.red, .blue, .green], [.yellow, .purple, .brown], [.cyan, .gray] ] @Namespace() var namespace var body: some View { NavigationStack { Grid(horizontalSpacing: 50, verticalSpacing: 50) { ForEach(colors, id: \.hashValue) { rowColors in GridRow { ForEach(rowColors, id: \.self) { color in NavigationLink { DetailView(color: color, namespace: namespace) .navigationTransition( .zoom( sourceID: color, in: namespace ) ) .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) } label: { ZStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 5) .foregroundStyle(color) .frame(width: 48, height: 48) Image(systemName: "star.fill") .foregroundStyle(Material.bar) .matchedGeometryEffect(id: color, in: namespace, properties: .frame, isSource: false) } } .matchedTransitionSource(id: color, in: namespace) } } } } } } } struct DetailView: View { var color: Color let namespace: Namespace.ID var body: some View { ZStack { color Image(systemName: "star.fill") .resizable() .foregroundStyle(Material.bar) .matchedGeometryEffect(id: color, in: namespace, properties: .frame, isSource: false) .frame(width: 100, height: 100) } .navigationBarHidden(false) } } #Preview { ContentView() }

PHPickerViewController unusable via Mac Catalyst on macOS 26 when interface is "Scaled to Match iPad"
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

Insight into BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices Crashes Needed
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

UIRequiresFullScreen Deprecation
I work on a universal app that targets both iPhone and iPad. Our iPad app currently requires full screen. When testing on the latest iPadOS 26 beta, we see the following warning printed to the console: Update the Info.plist: 1) `UIRequiresFullScreen` will soon be ignored. 2) Support for all orientations will soon be required. It will take a fair amount of effort to update our app to properly support presentation in a resizable window. We wanted to gauge how urgent this change is. Our testing has shown that iPadOS 26 supports our app in a non-resizable window. Can someone from Apple provide any guidance as to how soon “soon” is? Will UIRequiresFullScreen be ignored in iPadOS 26? Will support for all orientations be required in iPadOS 26?

Issue with UIActivityViewController Not Showing X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook Icons When Sharing Images on iOS 26 Beta
I have installed the iOS 26 Beta on my device and conducted a comprehensive functionality test of my iOS application, which I designed and developed. The application includes a feature that allows users to share images directly to X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. During testing, I encountered an issue where the icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook do not appear in the share dialog, despite both apps being installed on the device. This issue prevents users from sharing images to these platforms directly from the app. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install iOS 26 Beta on a compatible device. 2.Ensure that both the X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook apps are installed and logged in on the device. 3.Open the iOS application and navigate to the image sharing feature. 4.Attempt to share an image using the share dialog. 5.Observe that the icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook are missing from the share options. Expected Behavior: The share dialog should display icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, allowing users to share images directly to these platforms. Actual Behavior: The icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook do not appear in the share dialog, preventing direct sharing to these platforms. Code Implementation: I have not implemented any code to exclude X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook from the share options. Below is the relevant code for controlling the share screen: let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: activityItems, applicationActivities: applicationActivities) let excludedTypes = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.assignToContact, UIActivity.ActivityType.print, ] activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = excludedTypes activityViewController.completionWithItemsHandler = completion self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) As shown in the implementation, there is no exclusion of X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, yet their icons do not appear in the share dialog.

Live caller id lookup
We are trying to implement live caller id lookup, there is lack of documentation and we would like to understand few blockers that we have: Based on this documentation page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/setting-up-the-http-endpoints-for-live-caller-id-lookup: What exactly should accept/return these endpoints?. There is no detailed description of the response/request schema for any endpoint. What are the usage scenarios of the "/key" method? If it is possible to get a more detailed explanation regarding Evaluation Key usage as it is not clear from the available documentation. Based on this step by step implementation description: https://github.com/apple/live-caller-id-lookup-example/blob/main/Sources/PIRService/PIRService.docc/Authentication.md: The 6th step: "Authentication server returns the list of public keys (potentially through a proxy)". What is the endpoint path and response format expected by the iOS system? This step refers to calling the '/config' endpoint ? The 8th step: "Authentication server verifies the User Token and returns the public key that is associated with the User Tier. ..." What is the the endpoint path and request/response format expected by the iOS system? The 9th step: "The system constructs a Privacy Pass token request using the specific public key. The token request is sent along with the User Token to the authentication server". What is the request/response format expected by the iOS system? The 11th step: "When a PIR request is made, the system attached an unused Privacy Pass token to the request. The PIR node can use the public key to verify that the token is valid and that assures that the request is authorized". What is the request/response format expected by the iOS system? On executing refreshPIRParameters fom app I get this error: LiveCallerIDLookupManager.shared.refreshPIRParameters(forExtensionWithIdentifier: LiveCallerIdExtensionName) Unable to query status due to errors: server error (Access DeniedAccess DeniedYou don't have permission to access "http://www.example.com/config" on this server.Reference #18.cdde00d4.1738074526.3a38870https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.cdde00d4.1738074526.3a38870) Why it tries to reach example.com/config but not our serviceURL or tokenIssuerURL?

iOS 26 UISplitViewController in dark mode appearance.
We have encountered a problem on iOS 26. When switching to dark mode, the color of all subviews (font color, background color, etc.) of the Sidebar (Primary View) of UISplitViewController will not change. For example, if it is set to the color of UIColor.label, it will always be black and will not be white in dark mode. On Xcode, just create a UISplitViewController in Storyboard without changing any settings, and run it directly to see the following: The title of the Navigation Bar defaults to the label color, and it is still black after switching to dark mode. There is no such problem in the Secondary View or other places. This problem has occurred since iOS 26 beta 3, and iOS 26 beta 4 is now the same. But beta 1 and beta 2 have no problem. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if there is something that needs to be changed to adapt to iOS 26?

Exception unarchiving UIToolbar in iOS 18.5 simulator with Xcode 26 beta 2
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.

Xcode 14.1 Running on iPhone 14 Pro max simulator 16.1 Code... import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var loggedIn: Bool = false var body: some View { switch loggedIn { case false: Button("Login") { loggedIn = true } .onAppear { print("🍏 Login on appear") } .onDisappear { print("🍎 Login on disappear") } case true: TabView { NavigationView { Text("Home") .navigationBarTitle("Home") .onAppear { print("🍏 Home on appear") } .onDisappear { print("🍎 Home on disappear") } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { Button("Logout") { loggedIn = false } } } } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } NavigationView { Text("Savings") .navigationBarTitle("Savings") .onAppear { print("🍏 Savings on appear") } .onDisappear { print("🍎 Savings on disappear") } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { Button("Logout") { loggedIn = false } } } } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "dollarsign.circle") Text("Savings") } NavigationView { Text("Profile") .navigationBarTitle("Profile") .onAppear { print("🍏 Profile on appear") } .onDisappear { print("🍎 Profile on disappear") } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { Button("Logout") { loggedIn = false } } } } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .onAppear { print("🍏 Tabview on appear") } .onDisappear { print("🍎 Tabview on disappear") } } } } Video of bug... https://youtu.be/oLKjRGL2lX0 Example steps... Launch app Tap Login Tap Savings tab Tap Home tab Tap Logout Expected Logs... 🍏 Login on appear 🍏 Tabview on appear 🍏 Home on appear 🍎 Login on disappear 🍏 Savings on appear 🍎 Home on disappear 🍏 Home on appear 🍎 Savings on disappear 🍏 Login on appear 🍎 Home on disappear 🍎 Tabview on disappear Actual logs... 🍏 Login on appear 🍏 Tabview on appear 🍏 Home on appear 🍎 Login on disappear 🍏 Savings on appear 🍎 Home on disappear 🍏 Home on appear 🍎 Savings on disappear 🍏 Login on appear 🍏 Savings on appear 🍎 Home on disappear 🍎 Savings on disappear 🍎 Tabview on disappear Error... 10 and 12 in the actual logs should not be there at all. For each tab that you have visited (that is not the current tab) it will call onAppear and onDisappear for it when the tab view is removed.

iOS 26 Beta 3 `safeAreaInsets`
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.
