Noticed when using .glassEffect within NavigationStack gives different result when interacting with view.
When it is not in NavigationStack, when view pressed, glassEffect is within Capsule, clipped.
But when used with NavigationStack, pressing view gives additional background effect in rectangle form.
In image can see this effect, it is subtle but in other scenarios its much more visible.
Is there a way how to use glassEffect without rectangle appearing in NavigationStack?
Here is full code for this example.
struct ExampleGlass: View {
var body: some View {
GlassObject()
.padding()
.background(.blue)
}
}
struct ExampleGlassNavStack: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
GlassObject()
.padding()
.background(.blue)
}
}
}
struct GlassObject: View {
var body: some View {
Capsule()
.frame(height: 150)
.glassEffect(.clear.interactive())
}
}
#Preview {
ExampleGlass()
ExampleGlassNavStack()
}

The ScreenCaptureKit sample application (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/screencapturekit/capturing-screen-content-in-macos) uses a filter initially set to capture content from the selected display, excluding only the sample application, and excepting no windows:
private var contentFilter: SCContentFilter {
var filter: SCContentFilter
switch captureType {
case .display:
guard let display = selectedDisplay else { fatalError("No display selected.") }
var excludedApps = [SCRunningApplication]()
// If a user chooses to exclude the app from the stream,
// exclude it by matching its bundle identifier.
if isAppExcluded {
excludedApps = availableApps.filter { app in
Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier == app.bundleIdentifier
}
}
// Create a content filter with excluded apps.
filter = SCContentFilter(display: display,
excludingApplications: excludedApps,
exceptingWindows: [])
.......
return filter
However, if another application uses the legacy NSWindowSharingType NSWindowSharingNone attribute, that application is initially not included in the captured stream. Only by toggling either the "Capture Type" or "Exclude sample from stream" checkbox does the initially hidden application become visible.
Additionally, if the "Stop Capture" button is used followed by "Start Capture", the application using the legacy NSWindowSharingType NSWindowSharingNone attribute is once again hidden from the stream, and is only made visible by toggling either the "Capture Type" or "Exclude sample from stream" checkbox.
Does some additional filter element or other SCStream configuration need to be included to verify that all applications, regardless of NSWindowSharingType, are captured using ScreenCaptureKit without requiring manual user interaction/filter refreshing? It seems odd that QuickTime screen recording (using ScreenCaptureKit) immediately captures an application using the NSWindowSharingNone attribute while the ScreenCaptureKit sample application linked above does not.
See images below showing the stream preview before and after toggling the "Capture Type" or "Exclude sample from stream" checkbox. Images were taken from a QuickTime screen recording during testing.
When I run my Mac Catalyst app I'm getting unacceptable performance when resizing the window. Window resizing is very unresponsive/laggy.
Configuration:
The root view controller is a UISplitViewController (three pane split using UISplitViewControllerStyleTripleColumn).
Sidebar is configured. It's using a UICollectionView sidebar style (so it looks like NSOutlineView in AppKit).
On initial launch there is no selection and the second and third view controllers in the split have empty placeholder view controllers.
At this point window resizing is fine.
Now I make a selection in the sidebar. This populates the supplementary view controller with a view controller that uses a UITableView.
Now resizing the window performance is awful. Basically this is unusable. When resizing the window a bunch what looks to be Core Animation related logs flood the console during window resize:
cannot add handler to 3 from 1 - dropping Library: QuartzCore | Subsystem: com.apple.coreanimation
Now if I go to my app's Info.plist and add: UIDesignRequiresCompatibility entry with a value of TRUE and follow the same steps described above window resizing works as expected and I do not experience performance issues. Also with UIDesignRequiresCompatibility there is no "cannot add handlers" error logs flooding the console on window resize.
My app (FindAnyFile) provides a Finder-like interface in which it also offers a QuickLook preview command, which invokes
[[QLPreviewPanel sharedPreviewPanel] makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
Now, if it shows .abcdp files, it often, but not always, crashes.
This has been happening for many macOS versions, at least since 10.15, up to 26.1. Also, it does not seem to matter which SDK/Xcode I build with, as I used several and all versions lead to the crash. The issue rather appears to be inside the QLplugin for the AB file (ABCardCollectionView etc.).
I am able to trace this crash in Xcode. There are a LOT of errors and warnings coming up, and eventually the qlplugin throws an ObjC exception which in turn brings down my entire app (and here I thought that the XPC system was designed to expressly avoid such crashes).
Possibly significant errors are:
CNAccountCollectionUpdateWatcher 0x6000025cf800: Update event received, but store registration failed. This event will be handled, but the behavior is undefined.
Error using remote object proxy when fetchAnonymousXPCEndpoint: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.telephonyutilities.callservicesdaemon.callstatecontroller" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.telephonyutilities.callservicesdaemon.callstatecontroller}
connection to service named com.apple.coreduetd.people … CNPropertyNotFetchedException: A property was not requested when contact was fetched.
I've attached the (mostly) complete console output from such a debug run.
I have also an open bug report regarding this kind of crash (back then I was not able to reproduce it myself): FB15553847
Also, when I "Quick Look" the same file in Finder, I get a "Preview not permitted" for the same items that crash in my app. If I copy the same items to the Desktop, then Finder can QL them and my app doesn't crash when viewing the item on the Desktop. So, the crash only happens with the items inside ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/…/Metadata/.
Now, here is the weirdest part: You might think: So, if the Finder shows "Preview not permitted", then my app trying to view those items is the result of that condition (even if that's not supposed to crash). However: I have a clean 26.1 install (in an Apple ARM VM) where Finder also says "Preview not permitted" for these items in the user's Library/AB/Metadata folder, but my app can QL those items without crashing! Also, I have one user who uses 26.1 and gets the crash with files in the same location. So, the "Preview not permitted" is probably not the cause of this crash, though it's suspicious that a user gets this at all - why can't a user QL the abcdp files in the Metadata folder but when copied to the Desktop, QL works? You'd think that Finder has the necessary entitlements to access the AB, or doesn't it?
Of course, my app has permission enabled under Privacy & Security / Contacts (if it's disabled, then the app can't show anything but will also not crash). And it has the "Address Book" entitlement.
Would be nice if this could be looked into and eventually be fixed.
Alternatively, I'd welcome any suggestions on how to prevent my app from crashing if the qlplugin throws. But if you look at the stack trace you'll see that there's no method of my own app involved where I could insert an exception catcher.
I added code to my previewItemURL delegate method to make sure the NSURL item is readable, and it is, even
Of course, apart from the issue with .abcdp files, the QL operation in my app works flawlessly, i.e. I have never received any other crash reports relating to any other QL plugins.

appearance.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor;
self.tabBar.standardAppearance = appearance;
self.tabBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance;

We are seeing this crash across several different iPad models, all of them running iPadOS 26.1.
The crash did not occur before, and it started appearing consistently over the past month.
This suggests that the issue may be related to changes introduced in recent iPadOS 26.1 builds.

Issue Summary:
On iOS 26.0.1 to 26.3, apps using multiple UITextFields for OTP input face a critical issue where the system autofill pastes the entire OTP string into a single text field, usually the focused one, rather than splitting digits across fields. Delegate events like textDidChange: do not trigger consistently on autofill, breaking existing input handling logic.
Expected Behavior:
OTP autofill should distribute each digit correctly across all OTP UITextFields.
Delegate or control events should fire on autofill to enable manual handling.
(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField
shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range
replacementString:(NSString *)string {
if (string.length > 1) {
// Autofill detected - distribute OTP manually
for (int i = 0; i < string.length && i < self.arrayOTPText.count; i++) {
UITextField *field = self.arrayOTPText[i];
field.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c", [string characterAtIndex:i]];
}
UITextField *lastField = self.arrayOTPText[string.length - 1];
[lastField becomeFirstResponder];
return NO;
}
// Handle normal single character or deletion input here
return YES;
}
//
// Setup UITextFields - set .oneTimeCode on first field only
for (int i = 0; i < self.arrayOTPText.count; i++) {
UITextField *field = self.arrayOTPText[i];
field.delegate = self;
if (@available(iOS 12.0, *)) {
field.textContentType = (i == 0) ? UITextContentTypeOneTimeCode : UITextContentTypeNone;
}
}
What We’ve Tried:
Setting textContentType properly.
Handling OTP distribution in delegate method.
Verifying settings and keyboard use.
Testing on multiple iOS 26.x versions.
Impact:
Major usability degradation during OTP entry.
Forces fragile workarounds.
Inconsistent autofill reduces user confidence.
Request:
Request Apple fix OTP autofill to natively support multi-field UITextField OTP input or provide enhanced delegate callbacks for consistent behavior.
Did any one face this issue in recent time with iOS 26.0.1 to 26.3 beta version
We have encountered a consistent problem with OTP (One Time Password) autofill on iOS versions 26.0.1 through 26.3. The issue pertains to apps implementing OTP input using multiple UITextFields (often 6 or 7 separate text boxes for each digit).
Problem Details:
When tapping the OTP autofill suggestion from Messages or supported third-party apps, iOS autofill pastes the entire OTP string into just one UITextField (commonly the second or focused field) rather than distributing digits across the individual text fields.
The delegated UITextField methods such as textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString: receive an entire OTP string at once, but the usual event handlers like UIControlEventEditingChanged do not always trigger, breaking existing logic relying on those.
This results in the OTP input UI showing incorrect or partial OTP, confusing users and forcing manual re-entry.
Many popular apps employing multi-field OTP input UIs face similar autofill malfunctions on iOS 26.x, impacting user experience negatively.
Setting textContentType = .oneTimeCode on the first text field alone is insufficient to restore the intended autofill behavior on iOS 26.x.
This represents a regression or functional deficiency compared to iOS 15-18 autofill handling patterns, which worked reliably for these multi-field OTP UIs.|
Expected Behavior:
OTP autofill should either automatically split the filled code into each UITextField or trigger consistent delegate/callback events to enable developers to replicate this behavior manually.
textDidChange or equivalent events should fire on autofill updates to reflect text changes correctly in multi-field OTP input.
Apple’s OTP autofill system should transparently support or provide clear guidelines for handling multi-field OTP input on iOS 26+.
What We’ve Tried:
Setting .oneTimeCode content type on only the first UITextField.
Handling OTP autofill in delegate methods including shouldChangeCharactersInRange.
Manual distribution and custom logic triggered by textDidChange and other callbacks.
Confirming all relevant system autofill settings are enabled.
Testing on multiple devices and iOS versions (26.0.1 through 26.3).
Note: its happen for may apps which have text field with 6 box otp fill
Hi,
I'm using a UICollectionViewCell in my project and I can't wrap my head around why cell's UI state isn't changing when selected.
This is my code:
override func updateConfiguration(using state: UICellConfigurationState) {
super.updateConfiguration(using: state)
var background = UIBackgroundConfiguration.listGroupedCell().updated(for: state)
background.cornerRadius = 25
// Update background based on selection state
if state.isSelected {
background.backgroundColor = .systemBlue.withAlphaComponent(0.3)
background.strokeColor = UIColor.systemBlue
background.strokeWidth = 1.5
} else {
background.backgroundColor = isHoveredOver ? .hoverHighlightBackground : .background
background.strokeColor = UIColor.borderColor
background.strokeWidth = 1
}
backgroundConfiguration = background
}
The if block does get executed but it's not working for some reason. On the other hand, the else block works just fine, my cell's background is being highlighted when hovered over, the stroke is showing etc.
What am I missing here?
Thank you.
Returning to a Mac Catalyst app that I put to the side for awhile..when running it on Xcode 26.1 it crashes at launch with:
Assertion failure in -[NSToolbarItemGroupView _layoutWrapperViewsWithAttributes:], NSToolbarItemGroupView.m:599
No attributes were found for item
Call stack has a bunch of Autolayout code in AppKit like:
[NSWindow(NSConstraintBasedLayoutInternal) _layoutViewTree] + 120
50 AppKit 0x00000001911e8a10 -[NSWindow(NSConstraintBasedLayoutInternal) layoutIfNeeded] + 240
51 UIKitMacHelper 0x00000001a98f293c -[UINSWindow layoutIfNeeded] + 56
A few unnamed symbols mixed in maybe that's that Swiftness beneath the surface. App is just murdered on launch. I assume this is related to using NSToolbarItemGroup when building an NSToolbar...
I do see this log out:
NSToolbarItemGroup does not support selectionMode. Create the group with one of the class constructors to support selection.
Which is an interesting log so I commented out all calls to setSelectionMode: but still the same crash.
I do set the groups subitems property directly (I do not use the class constructors as the logging statement above indicates). I have no idea if using the class constructors will workaround this issue or not but I'm not particularly excited about that idea because I have items in the same toolbar group with different actions.

This happens only on macOS Sequoia - not on macOS Tahoe.
I have got a noticeable amount of lag in the animations of my App where this Warning arises
I've tried to isolate the respective animations from the main thread too - still getting the same issue with the lag
Is it possible to resolve it, as I want backwards compatibility with my app for the users
In macOS Tahoe, users can tint folders or add symbols. But when trying to access that customized icon in Swift, the system always returns the default folder icon.
NSWorkspace.shared.icon(forFile: url.path)
try url.resourceValues(forKeys: [.effectiveIconKey]).effectiveIcon
try url.resourceValues(forKeys: [.customIconKey]).customIconKey
All of these give back the standard folder icon without any of the user-applied customization.
So the question is: Is there any API or workaround in Swift to retrieve the actual customized folder icon (including tint and symbol) as displayed in Finder on macOS Tahoe?
Hi everyone,
I am encountering an issue where my Live Activity (Dynamic Island) suddenly became invalid and failed to launch. It was working perfectly before, and I haven't modified any code since then.
My Environment:
Xcode: 26.1.1
Device iOS: 26.1
Testing: I also tested on iOS 18, but the Live Activity fails to start there as well.
Here is my code:
Live Activity Manager (Start/Update/End):
func startLiveActivity() {
// Initial static data
let attributes = SimpleIslandAttributes(name: "Test Order")
// Initial dynamic data
let initialContentState = SimpleIslandState(message: "Preparing...")
// Adapting for iOS 16.2+ new API (Content)
let activityContent = ActivityContent(state: initialContentState, staleDate: nil)
do {
let activity = try Activity.request(
attributes: attributes,
content: activityContent,
pushType: nil // Set to nil as remote push updates are not needed
)
print("Live Activity Started ID: \(activity.id)")
} catch {
print("Failed to start: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
// 2. Update Live Activity
func updateLiveActivity() {
Task {
let updatedState = SimpleIslandState(message: "Delivering 🚀")
let updatedContent = ActivityContent(state: updatedState, staleDate: nil)
// Iterate through all active Activities and update them
for activity in Activity<SimpleIslandAttributes>.activities {
await activity.update(updatedContent)
print("Update")
}
}
}
// 3. End Live Activity
func endLiveActivity() {
Task {
let finalState = SimpleIslandState(message: "Delivered ✅")
let finalContent = ActivityContent(state: finalState, staleDate: nil)
for activity in Activity<SimpleIslandAttributes>.activities {
// dismissalPolicy: .default (immediate), .after(...) (delayed), .immediate (no animation)
await activity.end(finalContent, dismissalPolicy: .default)
print("End")
}
}
}
The Models (Shared between App and Widget Extension):
// 1. Define State (Dynamic data, changes over time, e.g., remaining delivery time)
public struct SimpleIslandState: Codable, Hashable {
var message: String
}
// 2. Define Attributes (Static data, constant after start, e.g., Order ID)
public struct SimpleIslandAttributes: ActivityAttributes {
public typealias ContentState = SimpleIslandState
var name: String // e.g., "My Order"
}
The Widget Code:
//
// SimpleIslandWidget.swift
// ReadyGo
//
// Created by Tang Yu on 2025/11/19.
//
import WidgetKit
import SwiftUI
import ActivityKit
struct SimpleIslandWidget: Widget {
var body: some WidgetConfiguration {
ActivityConfiguration(for: SimpleIslandAttributes.self) { context in
// UI shown on the Lock Screen
VStack {
Text("Lock Screen Notification: \(context.state.message)")
}
.activityBackgroundTint(Color.cyan)
.activitySystemActionForegroundColor(Color.black)
} dynamicIsland: { context in
// Inside Widget Extension
DynamicIsland {
// Expanded Region
DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.center) {
Text("Test") // Pure text only
}
} compactLeading: {
Text("L") // Pure text only
} compactTrailing: {
Text("R") // Pure text only
} minimal: {
Text("M") // Pure text only
}
}
}
}
Additional Info:
This is the minimal code setup I created for testing, but even this basic version is failing.
I have set NSSupportsLiveActivities (Supports Live Activities) to YES (true) in the Info.plist for both the Main App and the Widget Extension.
Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated.
I’m experiencing an issue after building the project with Xcode 26.1.1.
In my code, I have a UICollectionView that contains multiple cells, and each cell has a slider. When I move a slider in one cell, sliders in other cells also move.
This issue does not occur in Xcode 16.4 – it works perfectly there.
If anyone has a solution or knows if this is related to Xcode 26 changes, please let me know. Thanks!
This is a problem from Beta 1, but since there is no fix yet in Beta 3, I'd like to raise it.
The app is built with macCatalyst, and we have pretty simple tab bar controller setup:
viewController = UITabBarController()
viewController.tabBar.tintColor = .buttonForegroundColor
importWorkflow = ModelImportWorkflow(
userInterfaceIdiom: userInterfaceIdiom, workspace: workspace)
mergeWorkflow = ModelMergeWorkflow(userInterfaceIdiom: userInterfaceIdiom, workspace: workspace)
listWorkflow = ModelListWorkflow(workspace: workspace, userInterfaceIdiom: userInterfaceIdiom)
viewController.viewControllers = [
listWorkflow.viewControllable, importWorkflow.viewControllable,
mergeWorkflow.viewControllable,
]
viewController.modalPresentationStyle = .formSheet
We don't do any customizations on the tab bar and in Beta 3 (26.2), there is no way to found the tab bar (attached a user reported image).
Please advise what's the course of action. Thanks.
Dear Apple Developer Support,
I am writing to seek guidance regarding App Clips launch source differentiation in our restaurant application.
Background:
Our restaurant uses QR codes that are permanently associated with specific table numbers. These QR codes successfully launch our App Clip and pass the table information via NSUserActivity with NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb.
Current Issue:
We are facing a significant challenge in distinguishing between different launch sources:
Camera Scan/URL Launch: When customers scan the QR code using the native camera or tap a URL, the App Clip launches with the correct table information.
App Library Launch: When customers launch the App Clip from the App Library, it restores the previous NSUserActivity with potentially outdated table information.
The Problem:
Since we cannot determine whether the App Clip was launched from the camera/URL or from the App Library, we cannot reliably decide whether to use the table information carried by userActivity. This causes customers to be directed to incorrect tables when launching from the App Library.
What We've Tried:
We have attempted various approaches to differentiate the launch source:
Checking for AppClipActivationPayload - but it exists in both scenarios
Examining UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey and UISceneConnectionOptions
Analyzing URL parameters and timestamps
Implementing custom state management
However, none of these methods provide reliable differentiation between camera scan launches and App Library restorations.
Question:
Is there any official API or recommended approach to programmatically determine if an App Clip was launched:
From a camera scan/URL tap (fresh launch), OR
From the App Library (state restoration)
Any guidance on how to properly handle this scenario would be greatly appreciated, as it significantly impacts the user experience in our restaurant ordering system.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards
Trying to make a sheet-like view that attaches at the bottom to another view so I'd like to have only the top two corners rounded.
This works for a blurred effect:
let glassView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .systemMaterial))
glassView.layer.cornerRadius = 20
glassView.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMinXMinYCorner, .layerMaxXMinYCorner]
glassView.layer.masksToBounds = true
but if I try to use the iOS 26 UIGlassEffect, all 4 corners become rounded:
let glassView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIGlassEffect())
glassView.layer.cornerRadius = 20
glassView.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMinXMinYCorner, .layerMaxXMinYCorner]
glassView.layer.masksToBounds = true

When using .matchedTransitionSource with .navigationTransition(.zoom), swiping back from the left edge to return from a detail view causes the source item to disappear once the transition finishes. It’s only a visual issue—the item is still there and can be tapped to open again.
This doesn’t happen when using the Back button; only the swipe-back gesture triggers it. Also, it only reproduces on a physical device, not in Simulator.
SYSTEM INFO
Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100)

REPRO STEPS
Run the code below on a physical device, tap an image, then swipe from the left edge to dismiss the detail view.
ACTUAL
The image zooms back to its origin, then disappears once the animation settles.

Hi, I faced with the issue on iOS 26.1 with PHPickerViewController. After first selection I save assetIdentifier of PHPickerResult for images.
next time I open the picker I expect to have the images selected based on assetIdentifier
Code:
var config = PHPickerConfiguration(photoLibrary: .shared())
config.selectionLimit = 10
config.filter = .images
config.preselectedAssetIdentifiers = images.compactMap(\.assetID)
let picker = PHPickerViewController(configuration: config)
picker.delegate = self
present(picker, animated: true)
But on iOS 26.1 they aren't selected. On lower iOS version all works fine.
Does anybody faced with similar issue?
