Hello, I am developing a macOS app using AudioToolbox's MusicSequence and MusicPlayer APIs to play Standard MIDI Files. The MIDI playback works correctly and I can hear sound from the external MIDI device. However, the user callback registered via MusicSequenceSetUserCallback is never invoked during playback. Details: Callback registration returns no error. MusicPlayer is properly started and prerolled. The callback is defined as a global function with the correct @convention(c) signature. I have tried commenting out MusicTrackSetDestMIDIEndpoint to avoid known callback suppression issues. The clientData pointer is passed and correctly unwrapped in the callback. Minimal reproducible example shows the same behavior. Environment: macOS version: [Tahoe 26.2] Xcode version: [26.2] Is it expected that MusicSequenceSetUserCallback callbacks may not be called in some cases? Are there additional steps or configurations required to ensure the callback is triggered during MIDI playback? Thank you for any advice or pointers. Execute playTest() in the viewDidLoad() method of the ViewController. extension ViewController { private func playTest() { NewMusicSequence(&sequence) if let midiFileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "etude", withExtension: "mid") { MusicSequenceFileLoad(sequence!, midiFileURL as CFURL, .midiType,MusicSequenceLoadFlags()) NewMusicPlayer(&player) MusicPlayerSetSequence(player!, sequence!) MusicPlayerPreroll(player!) let status = MusicSequenceSetUserCallback(sequence!, musicSequenceUserCallback, Unmanaged.passUnretained(self).toOpaque()) if status == noErr { print("Callback registered successfully") } else { print("Callback registration failed: \(status)") } MusicPlayerStart(player!) } else { print("MIDI File Not Found") } } } The callback function was generated by Xcode and defined outside the ViewController. func musicSequenceUserCallback( clientData: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?, sequence: MusicSequence, track: MusicTrack, eventTime: MusicTimeStamp, eventData: UnsafePointer<MusicEventUserData>, startSliceBeat: MusicTimeStamp, endSliceBeat: MusicTimeStamp ) { print("User callback fired at eventTime: \(eventTime)") if let clientData = clientData { let controller = Unmanaged<ViewController>.fromOpaque(clientData).takeUnretainedValue() // Example usage to prove round-trip works (avoid strong side effects in callback) _ = controller.view // touch to silence unused warning if needed print("Callback has access to ViewController: \(controller)") } else { print("clientData was nil") } }

Hi everyone 👋 I’m fairly new to iOS development and I’ve been stuck on a SwiftUI issue for a while now, so I’m hoping someone here can spot what I’m doing wrong. I’m using navigationTransition(.zoom) together with matchedTransitionSource to animate navigation between views. The UI consists of a grid of items (currently a LazyVGrid, though the issue seems unrelated to laziness). Tapping an item zooms it into its detail view, which is structurally the same view type and can contain further items. All good expect that interactive swipe-back sometimes causes the item to disappear from the grid once the parent view is revealed. This only happens when dismissing via the drag gesture; it does not occur when using the back button. I’ve attached a short demo showing the issue and the Swift file containing the relevant view code. Is there something obvious I’m doing wrong with navigationTransition / matchedTransitionSource, or is this a known limitation or bug with interactive swipe-back? Thanks in advance. import SwiftUI struct TestFileView: View { @Namespace private var ns: Namespace.ID let nodeName: String let children: [String] let pathPrefix: String private func transitionID(for childName: String) -> String { "Zoom-\(pathPrefix)->\(childName)" } private let columns = Array(repeating: GridItem(.flexible(), spacing: 12), count: 3) var body: some View { ScrollView { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 12) { Text(nodeName) .font(.title.bold()) .padding(.bottom, 6) LazyVGrid(columns: columns, spacing: 12) { ForEach(children, id: \.self) { childName in let id = transitionID(for: childName) NavigationLink { TestFileView( nodeName: childName, children: childrenFor(childName), pathPrefix: "\(pathPrefix)/\(childName)" ) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: id, in: ns)) } label: { TestFileCard(title: childName) .matchedTransitionSource(id: id, in: ns) } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } } .padding() } } private func childrenFor(_ name: String) -> [String] { switch name { case "Lorem": return ["Ipsum", "Dolor", "Sit"] case "Ipsum": return ["Amet", "Consectetur"] case "Dolor": return ["Adipiscing", "Elit", "Sed"] case "Sit": return ["Do", "Eiusmod"] case "Amet": return ["Tempor", "Incididunt", "Labore"] case "Adipiscing": return ["Magna", "Aliqua"] case "Elit": return ["Ut", "Enim", "Minim"] case "Tempor": return ["Veniam", "Quis"] case "Magna": return ["Nostrud", "Exercitation"] default: return [] } } } struct TestFileCard: View { let title: String var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Image(systemName: "square.stack.3d.up") .symbolRenderingMode(.hierarchical) .font(.headline) Text(title) .font(.subheadline.weight(.semibold)) .lineLimit(2) .minimumScaleFactor(0.85) Spacer(minLength: 0) } .padding(12) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 90, alignment: .topLeading) .background(.thinMaterial, in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 14, style: .continuous)) } } private struct TestRoot: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { TestFileView( nodeName: "Lorem", children: ["Ipsum", "Dolor", "Sit"], pathPrefix: "Lorem" ) } } } #Preview { TestRoot() }

Dear Apple Customer Support, I’m developing a new Swift iPadOS app and I want the app to run in landscape only (portrait disabled). In Xcode, under Target &gt; General &gt; Deployment Info &gt; Device Orientation, if I select only Landscape Left and Landscape Right, the app builds successfully, but during upload/validation I receive this message and the upload is blocked: “Update the Info.plist: Support for all orientations will soon be required.” Could you please advise what the correct/recommended way is to keep an iPad app locked to landscape only while complying with the current App Store upload requirements? Is there a specific Info.plist configuration (e.g., UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad) or another setting that should be used? Thank you,

Hello, I am experiencing a layout glitch when using the new .navigationTransition(.zoom) in SwiftUI on iOS 18+. While the primary content transitions smoothly, the Navigation Bar elements (Title and ToolbarItems) of the source view exhibit an unwanted horizontal sliding animation during the transition. The Problem: As the zoom transition begins, the large inline title and the trailing toolbar buttons do not simply fade out or stay pinned. Instead, they slide to the left of the screen and when destination view is closed they slide back to their place. This creates a "janky" visual effect where the navigation bar appears to collapse or shift its coordinate space while the destination view is expanding. Problem video link:-

I have a bunch of Buttons with a .help(Text("Help text")) modifier, inside of a VStack which has its own .help() modifier describing the entire section. The VStack help shows up only when I hover over the buttons, and the Button help never shows at all. If I comment out the VStack help, the individual button helps show. How do I get both to show up properly? I want the VStack to show if I am in the roundedBorder, unless I am over a Button with its own .help modifier. import SwiftUI struct BugReport: View { @State private var testp1 = false @State private var testp2 = false var body: some View { VStack { Text("Hello, World!")

I am creating a macOs SwiftUI document based app, and I am struggling with the Window sizes and placements. Right now by default, a normal window has the minimize and full screen options which makes the whole window into full screen mode. However, I don't want to do this for my app. I want to only allow to fill the available width and height, i.e. exclude the status bar and doc when the user press the fill window mode, and also restrict to resize the window beyond a certain point ( which ideally to me is 1200 x 700 because I am developing on macbook air 13.3-inch in which it looks ideal, but resizing it below that makes the entire content inside messed up ). I want something like this below instead of the default full screen green When the user presses the button, it should position centered with perfect aspect ratio from my content ( or the one I want like 1200 x 700 ) and can be able to click again to fill the available width and height excluding the status bar and docs. Here is my entire @main code :- @main struct PhiaApp: App { @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate var body: some Scene { DocumentGroup(newDocument: PhiaProjectDocument()) { file in ContentView( document: file.$document, rootURL: file.fileURL ) .configureEditorWindow(disableCapture: true) .background(AppColors.background) .preferredColorScheme(.dark) } .windowStyle(.hiddenTitleBar) .windowToolbarStyle(.unified) .defaultLaunchBehavior(.suppressed) Settings { SettingsView() } } } struct WindowAccessor: NSViewRepresentable { var callback: (NSWindow?) -> Void func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSView { let view = NSView() DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak view] in callback(view?.window) } return view } func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSView, context: Context) { } } extension View { func configureEditorWindow(disableCapture: Bool = true) -> some View { self.background( WindowAccessor { window in guard let window else { return } if let screen = window.screen ?? NSScreen.main { let visible = screen.visibleFrame window.setFrame(visible, display: true) window.minSize = visible.size } window.isMovable = true window.isMovableByWindowBackground = false window.sharingType = disableCapture ? .captureBlocked : .captureAllowed } ) } } This is a basic setup I did for now, this automatically fills the available width and height on launch, but user can resize and can go beyond my desired min width and height which makes the entire content inside messy. As I said, I want a native way of doing this, respect the content aspect ratio, don't allow to enter full screen mode, only be able to fill the available width and height excluding the status bar and doc, also don't allow to resize below my desired width and height.

Hi, Overview I have a Mac app with a settings window. When I add a button it is added to the center. I want it on the trailing edge, I even tried adding it as confirmationAction but doesn’t work.

SwiftUI's colorScheme modifier is said to be deprecated in favour of preferredColorScheme but the two work differently. See the below sample app, colorScheme changes the underlying view colour while preferredColorScheme doesn't. Is that a bug of preferredColorScheme? import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { let color = Color(light: .red, dark: .green) var body: some View { VStack { HStack { color.colorScheme(.light) color.colorScheme(.dark) } HStack { color.preferredColorScheme(.light) color.preferredColorScheme(.dark) } } } } #Preview { ContentView() } @main struct TheApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } extension UIColor { convenience init(light: UIColor, dark: UIColor) { self.init { v in switch v.userInterfaceStyle { case .light: light case .dark: dark case .unspecified: fatalError() @unknown default: fatalError() } } } } extension Color { init(light: Color, dark: Color) { self.init(UIColor(light: UIColor(light), dark: UIColor(dark))) } }

I'm struggling to implement required code for SB2420 compliance. I try to learn on a very simple use case. the app is UIKit Build in Xcode 26.2 it displays a single Hello view with a button that will simply show a "Good day" label. I assume the app will be rated 4+. I tried the following code, using available information in Xcode (limited): import UIKit import DeclaredAgeRange // other import needed ? class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var welcomeLabel: UILabel! // initially hidden override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } func testAgeRange() -> Bool { if !isEligibleForAgeFeatures { // Not found. Which import needed ? return true // Not called from Texas } // Following code from Xcode doc… do { let response = try await AgeRangeService.shared.requestAgeRange(ageGates: 13, 15, 18) // Compiler Error: Missing argument for parameter 'in' in call // Can I add the 4 gate ? guard let lowerBound = response.lowerBound else { // Allow access to under 13 features. return false } var ok = false if lowerBound >= 18 { // Not needed ? // Allow access to 18+ features. ok = true } else if lowerBound >= 15 { // Not needed ? // Allow access to 15+ features. ok = true } else if lowerBound >= 13 { // Not needed ? // Require parental consent ? // Allow access to 13+ features. ok = true // if consent OK } else { // Require parental consent ? // Show age-appropriate content ok = true // if consent OK } return ok // Authorized for all 4+ } catch AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable { // No age range provided. return false } } func executeStart() { welcomeLabel.isHidden = false } @IBAction func start(_ sender: UIButton) { if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { if testAgeRange() { // Need to test for parental control here ? } else { // Alert and exit the app ? } } else { // do nothing ? Can we run the app ? } executeStart() } } The logic would be: before allowing action with the start button, check is it IOS 26+ so that we can call API if so, is verification needed (Texas SB2420) if not, we can proceed if required, test age range As app is 4+, all ranges should be OK But need to test parental control Now, many pending questions in code: line 14: get an error: Cannot find 'isEligibleForAgeFeatures' in scope line 19: I used the documentation sample for AgeRangeService, but get a Compiler Error: Missing argument for parameter 'in' in call line 35: how to implement parental control ? In addition, in the metadata of the app, should I declare that parental control ? Age verification? Mechanism for confirming that a person's age meets the age requirement for accessing content or services As there is no restriction on age, is it required ? Any help welcomed as well as link to a comprehensive tutorial.

The issue can be reproduced using the simplest code. In Xcode 26 + iOS 26, when a UIBarButtonItem is created using a UIImage, it consistently prints numerous constraint conflict warnings to the console. Below is my test code and the console warnings: let btn = UIBarButtonItem(systemItem: .trash) self.toolbarItems = [btn] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. ( "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x1083b4550 _TtC5UIKitP33_DDE14AA6B49FCAFC5A54255A118E1D8713ButtonWrapper:0x108374e00.width == _UIButtonBarButton:0x1083e8000.width (active)>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x1083b4aa0 'IB_Leading_Leading' H:|-(2)-[_UIModernBarButton:0x103ac62e0] (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x1083e8000 )>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x1083b4af0 'IB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x103ac62e0]-(2)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x1083e8000 )>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x1083b4fa0 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Width' _TtC5UIKitP33_DDE14AA6B49FCAFC5A54255A118E1D8713ButtonWrapper:0x108374e00.width == 0 (active)>" ) Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint <NSLayoutConstraint:0x1083b4af0 'IB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x103ac62e0]-(2)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x1083e8000 )> Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.

Do you guys know how to fix the render of the text in the accessory view ? If I force the color of text to be .black it work but it will break dark mode, but forcing it .black : .white on color scheme changes makes white to still adapt to what is behind it I have noticed that Apple Music doesn’t have that artifact and it seems to break when images are behind the accessory view // MARK: - Next Routine Accessory @available(iOS 26.0, *) struct NetxRoutinesAccessory: View { @ObservedObject private var viewModel = RoutineProgressViewModel.shared @EnvironmentObject var colorSchemeManager: ColorSchemeManager @EnvironmentObject var routineStore: RoutineStore @EnvironmentObject var freemiumKit: FreemiumKit @ObservedObject var petsStore = PetsStore.shared @Environment(\.colorScheme) private var colorScheme // Tab accessory placement environment @Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) private var accessoryPlacement // Navigation callback var onTap: (() -> Void)? @State private var isButtonPressed = false /// Explicit black for light mode, white for dark mode private var textColor: Color { colorScheme == .dark ? .trueWhite : .trueBlack } /// Returns true when the accessory is in inline/minimized mode private var isInline: Bool { accessoryPlacement == .inline } var body: some View { accessoryContent() .onTapGesture { onTap?() } } private func accessoryContent() -> some View { HStack(spacing: 12) { // Content with smooth transitions VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 2) { if viewModel.totalTasks == 0 { Text(NSLocalizedString("Set up routines", comment: "Routines empty state")) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) } else if let next = viewModel.nextRoutineTask() { HStack(spacing: 4) { Text(NSLocalizedString("Next", comment: "Next routine prefix")) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text("•") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text(next.routine.name) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) .lineLimit(1) } .id("routine-\(next.routine.id)-\(next.time)") .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .leading))) HStack(spacing: 4) { Text(viewModel.petNames(for: next.routine.petIDs)) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text("•") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) Text(Routine.displayTimeFormatter.string(from: next.time)) .font(.caption.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(colorSchemeManager.accentColor ?? .blue) } .id("time-\(next.routine.id)-\(next.time)") .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .leading))) } else { // All tasks completed Text(NSLocalizedString("All done for today!", comment: "All routines completed")) .font(.subheadline.weight(.medium)) .foregroundColor(textColor) .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .scale)) Text("\(viewModel.completedTasks)/\(viewModel.totalTasks) " + NSLocalizedString("tasks", comment: "Tasks count suffix")) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(textColor) } } .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.3), value: viewModel.completedTasks) .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.3), value: viewModel.progress) } .padding() .contentShape(.rect) .animation(colorSchemeManager.reduceMotion ? nil : .snappy(duration: 0.35), value: viewModel.completedTasks) } }
