On testing my app with tvOS 18, I have noticed the Siri Remote back button no longer provides system-provided behavior when interacting with tab bar controller pages. Instead of moving focus back to the tab bar when pressed, the back button will close the app, as if the Home button was pressed. This occurs both on device and in the Simulator. Create tvOS project with a tab bar controller. Create pages/tabs which contain focusable items (ie. buttons) Scroll down to any focusable item (ie. a button or UICollectionView cell) Hit the Siri Remote back button. See expect behavior below: Expected behavior: System-provided behavior should move focus back to the tab bar at the top of the screen. Actual results: App is closed and user is taken back to the Home Screen. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

My app is a SwiftUI document based app using DocumentGroupLaunchScene. In iOS(iPadOS) 18.4, when it launches, it has duplicate toolbar items, and when I close the current document and open other documents, it adds more duplicates. It also shows a wrong document name, which shows the first opened document name. This issue can be reproduced in the sample code (Building a document-based app with SwiftUI). I have submitted Feedback (FB17025216), but not sure if this is a known bug or if I'm missing anything.

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?

I have a UIKit app with a custom navigation controller. I want my view title to go up into the navigation bar when the user scrolls down the screen. It looks like UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction should do what I want, but I am having trouble using it. Below is a sample, where a header view represents a title. I added the interaction to the header view, but it seems to have no effect. Am I missing a step? Perhaps I misunderstand what this is supposed to do, or perhaps I do not understand the preconditions to make this work. I am hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong, or point me to some working sample code. Thank you. John class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate { var headerView: UIVisualEffectView! var tableView: UITableView! var interaction: UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.tableView = UITableView() self.tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false self.tableView.topEdgeEffect.style = .soft self.tableView.delegate = self self.tableView.dataSource = self self.tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell") self.view.addSubview(self.tableView) self.view.addConstraints([ self.tableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.topAnchor), self.tableView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor), self.tableView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor), self.tableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.bottomAnchor), ]) self.headerView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIGlassEffect(style: .regular)) self.headerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false self.headerView.backgroundColor = .green self.view.addSubview(self.headerView) self.view.addConstraints([ self.headerView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.topAnchor), self.headerView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor), self.headerView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor), self.headerView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100.0), ]) let label = UILabel() label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false label.text = "my text" self.headerView.contentView.addSubview(label) self.headerView.contentView.addConstraints([ label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.headerView.contentView.centerXAnchor), label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.headerView.contentView.centerYAnchor), ]) self.interaction = UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction() self.interaction.scrollView = self.tableView self.interaction.edge = .top self.headerView.addInteraction(self.interaction) } func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int { return 1 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { return 100 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) cell.textLabel?.text = "row \(indexPath.row + 1)" return cell } }

We use SwiftUI's .tabViewBottomAccessory in our iOS apps for displaying an Audio MiniPlayer View (like in the Apple Music App). TabView(selection: $viewModel.selectedTab) { // Tabs here } .tabViewBottomAccessory { if viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer { MiniPlayerView() } } The Problem This code works perfectly on iOS 26.0. When viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer is false, the accessory is completely hidden. However, on iOS 26.1 (23B5059e), when 'viewModel.showAudioMiniPlayer' becomes false, the MiniPlayerView disappears, but an empty container remains, leaving a blank space above the tab bar. Is this a known Bug in iOS 26.1 and are there any effective workarounds?

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

I've encountered a potential bug where a TextField connected to an optional value (not a string) works as expected when bound to a @State property, but won't update a @Binding property. Here is some example code import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @Binding var boundValue: Double? @State private var stateValue: Double? = 55 var body: some View { TextField("Bound value", value: $boundValue, format: .number) Text("\(boundValue ?? .nan)") TextField("State value", value: $stateValue, format: .number) Text("\(stateValue ?? .nan)") } } #Preview { ContentView(boundValue: .constant(42.00)) } It's as though the optional value stored externally is preventing the value updating. Can anyone confirm whether this is intentional, or a bug? This is in Xcode 26b6, on macOS Tahoe 26b8, but from this query it looks like the problem has existed for years.

I have a custom document-based iOS app that also runs on macOS. After implementing -activityItemsConfiguration to enable sharing from the context menu, I found that the app crashes on macOS when selecting Share… from the context menu and then selecting Save (i.e. Save to Files under iOS). This problem does not occur on iOS, which behaves correctly. - (id<UIActivityItemsConfigurationReading>)activityItemsConfiguration { NSItemProvider * provider = [[NSItemProvider alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:self.document.presentedItemURL]; UIActivityItemsConfiguration * configuration = [UIActivityItemsConfiguration activityItemsConfigurationWithItemProviders:@[ provider ]]; // XXX crashes with com.apple.share.System.SaveToFiles return configuration; } Additionally, I found that to even reach this crash, the workaround implemented in the NSItemProvider (FBxxx) category of the sample project is needed. Without this, the app will crash much earlier, due to SHKItemIsPDF() erroneously invoking -pathExtension on an NSItemProvider. This appears to be a second bug in Apple’s private ShareKit framework. #import <UniformTypeIdentifiers/UniformTypeIdentifiers.h> @implementation NSItemProvider (FBxxx) // XXX SHKItemIsPDF() invokes -pathExtension on an NSItemProvider (when running under macOS, anyway) -> crash - (NSString *)pathExtension { return self.registeredContentTypes.firstObject.preferredFilenameExtension; } @end Again, this all works fine on iOS (17.5) but crashes when the exact same app build is running on macOS (14.5). I believe these bugs are Apple's. Any idea how to avoid the crash? Is there a way to disable the "Save to Files" option in the sharing popup? I filed FB13819800 with a sample project that demonstrates the crash on macOS. I was going to file a TSI to get this resolved, but I see that DTS is not responding to tech support incidents until after WWDC.

A few days ago scanning NFC tags or QR codes for AppClips with advanced experiences started showing the error "The operation couldn't be completed. (CPSErrorDomain error 2.)" in the AppClip sheet as seen here: We are providing AppClips to our customers and they trust AppClips to always work, since it is a big part of their business. Since this is happening at our customers phones and on the phones of their customers, I don't have a sysdiagnose. I already created a feedback entry about this FB16601674. We checked everything, our AASA file, the Appstore Experiences.

On WWDC25 session "Meet Liquid Glass", two Liquid Glass variants are mentioned: "regular" and "clear". "Regular" seems to be the default setting for UIGlassEffect, but I was not able to find an option for clear. Is there a native element that uses clear? Is it coming to later betas for iOS 26?

Please has anyone found a workaround for duplicate back buttons appearing on the toolbar of a ContentView launched from a DocumentGroup? The problem occurs with Xcode 14.0 running a basic DocumentGroup App on iOS 16.0. To reproduce, simply build a new project using the "Document App" template. Build and run in the iOS/iPadOS simulator or on an iOS/iPadOS device. Two back buttons appear. Only one functions. I've not found a way to eliminate the dud. This problem has occurred throughout the Xcode 14.0 beta program.

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

Running up Xcode 16.2 Beta 1, a lot of my code that used onPreferenceChange in Views to change @State properties of those views, such as some notion of a measured width is now complaining about mutating the @MainActor-isolated properties from Sendable closures. Now I've got to hoop-jump to change @State properties from onPreferenceChange? OK, but seems a bit of extra churn.

Hi everyone, I'm currently facing an issue with AVAudioPlayer in my SwiftUI project. Despite ensuring that the sound file "buttonsound.mp3" is properly added to the project's resources (I dragged and dropped it into Xcode), the application is still unable to locate the file when attempting to play it. Here's the simplified version of the code I'm using: import SwiftUI import AVFoundation struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Button("Play sound") { playSound(named: "buttonsound", ofType: "mp3") } } } } func playSound(named name: String, ofType type: String) { guard let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: name, withExtension: type) else { print("Sound file not found") return } do { let audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: soundURL) audioPlayer.prepareToPlay() audioPlayer.play() } catch let error { print("Error playing sound: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }

I have a SwiftUI Mac Catalyst app. I create a toolbar like this NavigationSplitView(columnVisibility: $sceneModel.columnVisibility, preferredCompactColumn: $preferredColumn) { sidebarView() } detail: { contentView() .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .topBarTrailing) { HStack { Button { sceneModel.onMaps(sender: self) } label: { Image(systemName: "map") .font(.title2) } Button { sceneModel.onSearch(sender: self) } label: { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") .font(.title2) } ... } } } } When my Mac Appearance is set to dark mode and the content under the toolbar is dark the toolbar looks good like this. But then if I have light content under the toolbar, the glass effect changes to light, but the tint on the icons stays white instead of changing to black and it is hard to see the icon. It looks like this. When I set the Appearance on my Mac to light, then the toolbar works just fine on both dark and light colored backgrounds. Does anyone know how I can fix this when the appearance is Dark?

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

Hello! My question is about 1) if we can use any and or all accessibility features within a sandboxed app and 2) what steps we need to take to do so. Using accessibility permissions, my app was working fine in Xcode. It used NSEvent.addGlobalMonitorForEvents and localMoniter, along with CGEvent.tapCreate. However, after downloading the same app from the App Store, the code was not working. I believe this was due to differences in how permissions for accessibility are managed in Xcode compared to production. Is it possible for my app to get access to all accessibility features, while being distributed on the App Store though? Do I need to add / request any special entitlements like com.apple.security.accessibility? Thanks so much for the help. I have done a lot of research on this online but found some conflicting information, so wanted to post here for a clear answer.

Hi, we are developing a cross-platform library for creating desktop applications in C++: https://github.com/aseprite/laf For this reason, in macOS, we cannot rely on the default NSApplication.run() event loop, so we decided to implement our custom event loop using the nextEventMatchingMask method. Then, when a window is in fullscreen mode, for some reason the window stops receiving mouseMove events when the mouse pointer enters an area at the top of the window. You can see this issue in action by trying the following example project: https://github.com/martincapello/custom-event-loop-issue This project just opens one window and uses a custom event loop, it displays the current mouse position at every mouseMove event received, and when the aforementioned area is entered it suddenly stops updating. There is also a video showing how to reproduce it. I was able to see that when the position stops updating, we still receive mouseMove events, but for a different window, a borderless window that is added to the NSApplication.windows collection when switching to fullscreen, and which seems to be taken the mouseMove events before reaching the main window. Also, this issue doesn't happen when using the default NSApplication.run method, despite the borderless windows being added as well.

Using desaturated mode on an image in a widget will break any links or buttons that use the image as their 'label'. Using the following will just open the app as if there was no link at all - therefore just using the fallback userActivity handler, or any .widgetURL() urls provided. Link(destination: URL(string: "bug://never-works")!) { Image("puppy") .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.desaturated) } The same goes for buttons: Button(intent: MyDemoIntent()) { Image("puppy") .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.desaturated) } I've tried hacky solutions like putting the link behind the image using a ZStack, and disabling hit testing on the image, but they don't work. Anything else to try? Logged as Feedback #15152620.

Description: I’m encountering an issue where the Apple Watch’s watchOS version is lower than the deployment target specified in my Xcode project. For example, my Watch device is running watchOS 10.6, but my app’s deployment target is set to watchOS 9.6 or 10.6, and Xcode shows an error stating: Error: “watchOS version doesn’t match the app’s deployment target.” Could someone clarify how to properly handle this version mismatch? Environment: Xcode 26 iPhone: iOS 18 Apple Watch: watchOS 10.6 Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.
