Apparently now with iOS 26.1 if you have .tabViewBottomAccessory { } you get a pill shape floater all the time. That was not like that in 26.0.

I recently started exploring the latest version of SwiftUI and came across a issue while working with TabView and NavigationStack. I downloaded Apple’s provided example code and began making changes to explore new SwiftUI changes. i added navigationtitle and toolbarBackground to first two tab. However, I noticed that the navigation bar "jumps" or resets when switching between tabs, even in their own example implementation. Here’s a simplified version of the example code I was testing: file name - WatchNowView .navigationTitle("Watch Now") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbarBackground(Color("AccentColor"),for: .navigationBar) file name - LibraryView .navigationTitle("Library") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbarBackground(Color("AccentColor"),for: .navigationBar) Here is a sample code link (provided by Apple developer document) : destination-video I have attached a gif below demonstrating this issue: Questions: Is this behavior expected in the latest version of SwiftUI, or is it a bug in the framework's handling of TabView and NavigationStack? Is this behavior expected as all tabbar item have their own nativationStack? Are there any official recommendations for maintaining seamless navigation experiences when using navigationStack and TabView? This behavior detracts from the otherwise smooth experience SwiftUI aims to provide. If anyone has encountered this issue and found a workaround, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. I hope Apple can review this problem to enhance the usability of SwiftUI. Thank you!

I have a UIKit app with a UIHostingController embedded as a child controller. In this UIHostingController there's a SwiftUI view which expands and collapses with an animation to show/hide content within it. The hosting controller uses .intrinsicContentSize sizing option. This all works fine, and the animation of the expand/collapse looks good so far as the SwiftUI view, in a preview for example. But running the app the hosting controller doesn't animate its view's size alongside the SwiftUI view animating its size. Instead the hosting controller jumps from the correct start/end sizes without any animation. So technically although it has the right size when the SwiftUI view is expanded/collapsed, this not a nice UX as the hosting controller jumps immediately from its small size to its larger one on expanding and vice versa for collapsing while the SwiftUI contents animates nicely. I'm assuming there's somewhere I should be calling (in some form or another) a: UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.4) { hostingController.view.layoutIfNeeded() } alongside the SwiftUI animations - but I can't see any hook between my SwiftUI view .animation(value:) function and somewhere that hosting controller could jump in alongside this animation and animate its view's frame.

I want to add a widget to my app that will display the # of pickups the user has for the day. I have the DeviceActivityReport working in the main app but can't get it to display in the widget since it is not a supported view for widgets. Is there any workaround for getting this view to the widget? I tried converting the DeviceActivityReport view to a UI image thinking maybe that would be a way to use a widget approved view type but ImageRenderer seems to fail to render an image for the view (which is just a Text view). To summarize my questions: Is it possible to display a DeviceActivityReport in a widget? If so, what is the best practice? Is converting the DeviceActivityReport view into an image and displaying that in a widget an option? Here's my attempt to convert the DeviceActivityReport view into a UIImage: import SwiftUI import _DeviceActivity_SwiftUI struct PickupsDeviceActivityReport: View {     @State private var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .totalActivity     @State private var renderedImage = Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle")     @Environment(\.displayScale) var displayScale     var body: some View {         renderedImage             .onAppear { render() }             .onChange(of: context) {                 _ in render()             }     }     @MainActor func render() {         let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: DeviceActivityReport(context))         renderer.scale = displayScale         if let uiImage = renderer.uiImage {             renderedImage = Image(uiImage: uiImage)         }     } } Help is appreciated. Thank you.

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.

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

After updating to Xcode 26 my XCUITests are now failing as during execution exceptions are being raised and caught by my catch all breakpoint These exceptions are only raised during testing, and seem to be referencing some private internal property. It happens when trying to tap a button based off an accessibilityIdentifier e.g. accessibilityIdentifier = "tertiary-button" ... ... app.buttons["tertiary-button"].tap() The full error is: Thread 1: "[<UIKit.ButtonBarButtonVisualProvider 0x600003b4aa00> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key _titleButton." Anyone found any workarounds or solutions? I need to get my tests running on the liquid glass UI

I am using AlarmKit to schedule alarms in an app I am working on, however my scheduled alarms only show up on the lock screen. If I am on the home screen or elsewhere I only hear the sound of the alarm, but no UI shows up. Environment: iOS 26 beta 3 Xcode 26 beta 3

after i updated to iOS 26.0 Beta3, UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction crashed: let scrollInteraction = UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction() scrollInteraction.edge = .bottom scrollInteraction.scrollView = webView?.scrollView bottomBar.addInteraction(scrollInteraction) i got this crash info:unrecognized selector sent to instance: UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction setEdge: and UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction setScrollView

It happens on a brand new SwiftUI Xcode project with nothing in it but the default base code. When I build and run, I get "Error creating the CFMessagePort needed to communicate with PPT." After some Googling, I know it has something to do with Performance Tools. I don't know what's causing it. I'm running 16.2 on a brand new M4 Mac mini.

I've been testing the safeAreaBar modifier to develop a custom tab bar. From my understanding, this should enable the .scrollEdgeEffectStyle to work with this bar, but I don't see any effect. Could you please clarify the difference between safeAreaBar and safeAreaInset?

[Submitted as FB18870294, but posting here for visibility.] In iOS 26 beta 3 (23A5287g), implicit animations no longer work when conditionally showing or hiding rows in a Form. Rows with Text or other views inside a Section appear and disappear abruptly, even when wrapped in withAnimation or using .animation() modifiers. This is a regression from iOS 18.5, where the row item animates in and out correctly with the same code. Repro Steps Create a new iOS App › SwiftUI project. Replace its ContentView struct with the code below Build and run on an iOS 18 device. Tap the Show Middle Row toggle and note how the Middle Row animates. Build and run on an iOS 26 beta 3 device. Tap the Show Middle Row toggle. Expected Middle Row item should smoothly animate in and out as it does on iOS 18. Actual Middle Row item appears and disappears abruptly, without any animation. Code struct ContentView: View { @State private var showingMiddleRow = false var body: some View { Form { Section { Toggle( "Show **Middle Row**", isOn: $showingMiddleRow.animation() ) if showingMiddleRow { Text("Middle Row") } Text("Last Row") } } } }

In iOS 26.1, SwiftUI's tabViewBottomAccessory API cannot control visibility properly. The tabViewBottomAccessory remains always visible, which is inconsistent with the behavior in iOS 26.0 / iOS 26.0.1. ` struct ContentView: View { enum Tabs { case first } @State private var selection: Tabs = .first @State private var showBottomAccessory: Bool = true var body: some View { tabView } var tabView: some View { TabView(selection: $selection) { Tab(value: .first) { content } label: { VStack { Text("first") } } } .tabViewBottomAccessory { if showBottomAccessory { Text("BottomAccessory") } } } var content: some View { Button("change") { showBottomAccessory.toggle() } } } `

Hi there, Upon using List View for tabular information showcase on both iOS and iPadOS, I have come to realize that the drag and drop support works only for iPadOS but not iOS. Although it is possible to workaround this by using a ScrollView wrapping around a LazyVStack instead, the editing mode along with left-wipe to delete feature would be missing. Not to mention that this workaround only supports single item rather than multiple items. Therefore, I am here to ask if the drag and drop will come to support devices running iOS, and if so, when will this feature ship. If not, will LazyVStack/LazyHStack support native editing mode. Thank you for your time.

How do we disable the new swipe left anywhere to navigate back? I already use that swipe motion for custom actions in my app.

Hello. Is there a good SwiftUI approach on getting the TextEditor cursor position? I have a TextEditor and sometimes when we have a longer text inside it, the cursor is not seen because the keyboard is above covering the bottom of the TextEditor. I would like to somehow detect the position of the cursor, and if it's on the last line of the TextEditor, scroll to the bottom. I've already checked a bit and didn't find any good method of doing this in SwiftUI. If you have any ideas on how to do this, or even a different method any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

I have a couple of (older) UIKit-based Apps using UISplitViewController on the iPad to have a two-column layout. I'm trying to edit the App so it will shows the left column as sidebar with liquid glass effect, similar to the one in the "Settings" App of iPadOS 26. But this seems to be almost impossible to do right now. "out of the box" the UISplitViewController already shows the left column somehow like a sidebar, with some margins to the sides, but missing the glass effect and with very little contrast to the background. If the left column contains a UITableViewController, I can try to get the glass effect this way within the UITableViewController: tableView.backgroundColor = .clear tableView.backgroundView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIGlassContainerEffect()) It is necessary to set the backgroundColor of the table view to the clear color because otherwise the default background color would completely cover the glass effect and so it's no longer visible. It is also necessary to set the background of all UITableViewCells to clear. If the window is in the foreground, this will now look very similar to the sidebar of the Settings App. However if the window is in the back, the sidebar is now much darker than the one of the Settings App. Not that nice looking, but for now acceptable. However whenever I navigate to another view controller in the side bar, all the clear backgrounds destroy the great look, because the transition to the new child controller overlaps with the old parent controller and you see both at the same time (because of the clear backgrounds). What is the best way to solve these issues and get a sidebar looking like the one of the Settings App under all conditions?

We are building a CarPlay app and have run into an issue with data updates. When the app is running on the CarPlay display and the iPhone screen is locked, no data updates are shown on the CarPlay screen. As soon as the phone is unlocked, the data updates appear instantly on the CarPlay display. Has anyone encountered this behavior before? Is there a specific setting, entitlement, or background mode we need to enable in order to ensure the CarPlay app continues to receive and display data while the iPhone is locked? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[Also submitted as FB19313064] The .disabled() modifier doesn't visually disable buttons inside a ToolbarItem container on iOS 26.0 (23A5297i) devices. The button looks enabled, but tapping it doesn't trigger the action. When deployment target is lowered to iOS 18 and deployed to an iOS 18 device, it works correctly. It still fails on an iOS 26 device, even with an iOS 18-targeted build. This occurs in both the Simulator and on a physical device.
