An app with a UIToolbar pinned to the bottom of a view controllers view extends to the screen edge (behind the safe area) when run on iOS 18.X but not iOS 26.
This UIToolbar is set as constrained to the safeAreaLayoutGuide with the following constraints.
self.view.addConstraints([
bottomToolbar.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor),
bottomToolbar.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor),
bottomToolbar.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor),
bottomToolbar.heightAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 44.0)
])
This is especially noticeable when the UIToolbar background color differs from the view background color.
This occurs on iOS 26 beta 6, app built with Xcode 26 beta 5.
I've posted a Feedback FB19664903 including a minimal Xcode workspace that reproduces this issue.
Anyone suggestions would be appreciated ... this definitely seems like a regression.

The following code:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var email = ""
var body: some View {
VStack {
TextField("email", text: $email)
.textContentType(.emailAddress)
}
}
}
does not work as expected. What I expected is to run the app and have it suggest my actual email when I click into the field. Instead what it does is display "Hide My Email" twice. Selecting the first "Hide My Email" pastes the actual text "Hide My Email" into the field, the second one brings up an iCloud sheet to select a random email.
Trying some suggestions online for .emailAddress in general not working does not change anything:
TextField("Email", text: $email)
.textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
.textContentType(.emailAddress)
.keyboardType(.emailAddress)
.autocorrectionDisabled()
.disableAutocorrection(true)
.textInputAutocapitalization(.never)

Do I need this permission to test out development on my local phone? I believe I do since I cannot get the monitor extension to embed AND sign, making it so i cannot test this feature. As in the class will not instantiate and trigger after specific time has happened
Hello,
Specific to this "You can also view detailed information for each country or region, such as the number of units sold, the amount earned in that country’s or region's currencies, taxes, and adjustments, the exchange rate applied to the payment, and the total proceeds owed to you displayed in the currency of your bank account."
Can you please direct me to the report that has the exchange rate and amount distributed in our bank account currency? I can't seem to find this anywhere and it is making it difficult for us to close each month. Thank you.

Hello everybody!
TLDR: Issues with visibleItemsInvalidationHandler. Minimal code to reproduce available.
I've been working with Compositional Layout for a while now and recently I've found myself needing to implement custom animation based on scroll position of UI elements. Once I found visibleItemsInvalidationHandler it felt like the exact solution that I needed. Once I implement I've found out it doesn't quite behave as you'd expect.
To put it simply, it seems like the animations only work if your whole layout does not use .estimated nor .uniformAcrossSiblings. As soon as you use them then the animations will stop working, I've debugged it deeper and it seems like the invalidation context generated by it does not include the indexPath of the cells, which is always included in the version in which it works.
Feel free to swap the line 51 with its comment to flip between the working and failing version of it.
Playground Example
My final question therefore is... Is this the expected behavior? The documentation doesn't give any clues about such behavior and although I've tried relentlessly to find a workaround for this specific hiccup I was not successful with it.
Hello everyone,
I am building a React Native (Expo) application where the customer requested a simple “Add to Wallet” button. However, instead of handling Wallet provisioning or passes, the requirement is just to open the Apple Wallet app when the user taps this button.
My questions are:
Is it allowed by App Store Review Guidelines to have a button that simply launches the Wallet app, without actually adding a pass (.pkpass) or card? After navigation to the Apple app user just can manually add the card to the Apple Wallet.
If so, should I avoid using the official “Add to Apple Wallet” badge, since nothing is being added? Would a custom label like “Open Wallet” be more appropriate to comply with Apple’s branding rules?
Could my app risk App Store rejection if I implement this simplified behavior?
I want to make sure I follow the guidelines and avoid misleading users or violating branding rules. Any clarification or experiences from others who have submitted apps with similar functionality would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi all,
My Unity app was rejected for running in portrait mode on an iPad Air (5th gen) with iPadOS 18.6.
My Unity Player settings are configured for landscape-only (Auto Rotation with Landscape Left and Landscape Right enabled).
On my older iPad (5th gen) with iPadOS 16.7.11, the app works correctly and stays in landscape.
Has anyone seen similar orientation issues with Unity builds on M1/M2 iPads running iPadOS 18? I suspect this is a bug with the new OS on specific hardware. Any insights are appreciated.
Thanks.

On an iPad running iPadOS 26 beta 4, when tapping the Game Center Access Point, the overlay doesn’t show the configured achievements, leaderboards or challenges.
I should specify this is an in-development app and the achievements and leaderboards are in the “Not Live” state, however they show on other devices running iOS 18 in the Access Point UI.
Anyone else having this issue? If so, how should I test achievements and leaderboards while iOS 26 beta is out?
The UI looks like this on iPadOS 26:
I am trying to get MIDI output from the AU Host demo app using the recent MIDI processor example. The processor works correctly in Logic Pro, but I cannot send MIDI from the AUv3 extension in standalone mode using the default host app to another program (e.g., Ableton).
The MIDI manager, which is part of the standalone host app, works fine, and I can send MIDI using it directly—Ableton receives it without issues. I have already set the midiOutputNames in the extension, and the midiOutBlock is mapped. However, the MIDI data from the AUv3 extension does not reach Ableton in standalone mode. I suspect the issue is that midiOutBlock might never be called in the plugin, or perhaps an input to the plugin is missing, which prevents it from sending MIDI. I am currently using the default routing.
I have modified the MIDI manager such that it works well as described above. Here is a part of my code for SimplePlayEngine.swift and my MIDIManager.swift for reference:
@MainActor
@Observable
public class SimplePlayEngine {

if let scheduleMIDIEventListBlock = self?.scheduleMIDIEventListBlock {
_ = scheduleMIDIEventListBlock(AUEventSampleTimeImmediate, 0, eventList)
}
}) {
fatalError("Failed to setup Core MIDI")
}

}
do {
let audioUnit = try await AVAudioUnit.instantiate(
with: component.audioComponentDescription, options: AudioComponentInstantiationOptions.loadOutOfProcess)
self.avAudioUnit = audioUnit
self.connect(avAudioUnit: audioUnit)
return await audioUnit.loadAudioUnitViewController()
} catch {
return nil
}

if !auAudioUnit.midiOutputNames.isEmpty { auAudioUnit.midiOutputEventBlock = midiOutBlock }
engine.attach(avAudioUnit)

engine.disconnectNodeInput(engine.mainMixerNode)

engine.connect(player, to: avAudioUnit, format: format)
engine.connect(avAudioUnit, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: format)
}
} else {
let stereoFormat = AVAudioFormat(standardFormatWithSampleRate: hardwareFormat.sampleRate, channels: 2)
engine.connect(avAudioUnit, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: stereoFormat)
}
rewiringComplete()

I am experiencing crash when trying to access a [String] from a @Model data, after dismissing an immersiveSpace and opening a WindowGroup.
This crash only occurs when trying to access the [String] property of my Model. It works fine with other properties.
Thread 1: Fatal error: This backing data was detached from a context without resolving attribute faults: PersistentIdentifier(...)
Steps to Reproduce
Open WindowGroup
Dismiss window, open ImmersiveSpace
Dismiss ImmersiveSpace, reopen WindowGroup
Any guidance would be appreciated!
@main
struct MyApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup(id: "main") {
ContentView()
}
.modelContainer(for: [Item.self])
ImmersiveSpace(id: "immersive") {
ImmersiveView()
}
}
}
// In SwiftData model
@Model
class Item {
var title: String = "" // Accessing this property works fine
var tags: [String] = []
@storageRestrictions(accesses: _$backingData, initializes: _tags)
init(initialValue) {
_$backingData.setValue(forKey: \. tags, to: initialValue)
_tags =_ SwiftDataNoType()
}
get {
_$observationRegistrar.access(self, keyPath: \.tags)
**return self getValue(forkey: \.tags)** // Crashes here
}
I notice that there are two types of nfc session:
"NFCTagReaderSession" this session in order to get tag's basic info like uid/type which call back function is
tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCTag])
"NFCNDEFReaderSession" this session in order to get ndef message in tag which call back function is
readerSession(_ session: NFCNDEFReaderSession, didDetectNDEFs messages: [NFCNDEFMessage])
My problem:
How can i get tag's basic info and tag's ndef message(if it exists) simultaneously in one session or in one callback function.
Hi,
Is it possible to use the iOS26 Liquid Glass icon on iOS 26 (built with Icon Composer), and use the old icon on iOS18 devices? I imported the icon file into my Xcode project and it seems to use the new icon on iOS18 (and earlier) devices as well.
Thanks.
I submitted my developer account for a migration to a business account over a month ago, and it is still under review. I've reached out to developer support multiple times, but they have no updates other than that it is "under review by the operations team" with no timeline as to its completion.
While my account is pending migration, I cannot submit any builds to App Store Connect. This essentially freezes my business - I've already had to delay an app launch twice!
How can I expedite the review process? Is this a common issue?
I feel like I have no other options to escalate.

Hey everyone,
Is it possible and how to get Managed Apple ID (email) programmatically for user signed in to ipad through shared IPad feature ?
It would be good to have MDM independent solution, I mean API call to MDM service is not acceptable for us.
Maybe API call to ASM or ABM, or get that somehow on iOS device end... any advice ?
Thanks in advance,
Dima

Hello,
I have noticed that the ShieldConfiguration is only requested when opening a target app, and never when the application token is moved to a different shield while the target app remains in foreground.
This causes problems because many times the wrong ShieldConfiguration is displayed (recycled) instead of requesting a new ShieldConfiguration.
This bug has been around since the introduction of the Screen Time API in 2020 and is has not been addressed.
Bug reports:
FB14237883
FB17902392
Please fix asap!! Not acceptable to have bugs not being addressed for more than 5 years.
Most concerning: This is still reproducing on iOS 26 beta 7!!
Thanks a lot for your help.

Screen Time
I'm working on an app for iOS that will help people get tasks done.
Within the app, we use a ManagedSettingsStore to let the user setup distracting apps. When the user opens any of those apps while it is being shielded, our ShieldConfiguration target opens and displays a screen that we configure with the description of the task they are supposed to do. On the bottom of the view, there are two buttons, one to start the task, and another to dismiss and return to their home screen.
I want to have the button that starts the task open up the main application and deeplink to the focus view with the task that they started. Currently, the only thing that we can tell the system to do is via a ShieldActionResponse which is an enum with 3 cases: none, close, or defer.
None of these three allow us to open the main application. I have found no workarounds that allow us to do it either. I've tried creating a custom URL scheme and calling UIApplication.shared.open(url), but there is no shared application available within the action extension. I have tried using a NSExtensionContext to open a url, but that does not work either. I have even tried starting a live activity to show the user what task they are working on and have a live timer, but that does not work either.
I know it is technically possible, because an app I downloaded does it perfectly. The app is called "Ascent: Screen Time Control". Is there some sort of extension I am missing, or entitlement I have not requested? Any help would be very appreciated.

I am writing to seek assistance regarding an iBeacon implementation issue we are experiencing in our iOS application.
Issue Description: We have successfully implemented iBeacon functionality in our app, but we are encountering a specific problem with background region monitoring:
When app is in foreground: Our app successfully detects iBeacon signals and triggers notifications when entering beacon regions.
When app is terminated: Our app fails to respond when entering our own iBeacon regions. However, we have observed an interesting behavior:
Third-party iBeacon apps can still detect and trigger notifications for their beacon regions
After a third-party app triggers, our app suddenly starts receiving notifications for our own iBeacon hardware
Technical Details:
iOS Version: 18.0
Xcode Version: 16.。4
Device Models Tested: iPhone 15 Pro
Questions:
What could be causing our app to fail detecting iBeacon regions when terminated, while third-party apps work correctly?
Why does our iBeacon detection start working only after another iBeacon app triggers?
Are there specific implementation requirements or best practices for reliable background iBeacon monitoring?
Could this be related to iOS background app refresh policies or system resource management?
Current Implementation: We have implemented the standard Core Location framework with:
CLLocationManager with appropriate authorization
Region monitoring setup with CLBeaconRegion
Background modes enabled for location services
Proper delegate methods implemented
We would greatly appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue, as it significantly impacts our app's user experience.
Thank you for your time and support.

Since the ios 26 beta our app is crashing when calling LoadRequest() on the wkwebview class.
The app crashes out completely when it occurs even in the debugger, I was able to get a stack trace from our Sentry crash handler. See below
It seems that calling LoadRequest from the mainthread fixes the issue but I don't understand why, theres no documentation to suggest this must be done.
Any ideas?

We have created provisioning profile from apple developer account for our iPadOS app, the expiry date shown in the profile is 20-Aug-2026. However, when when I build the app with this provisional profile the expiry date shown in the app is 6-May-2026. My Certification expires on 2027. I see a embeded.mobileprovision profile inside the app, and it has an expiry of 6-May-2026. I did a clean build, cleared unnecessary profiles from profile folder, created a new provisional profile and tried, but nothing seems help.
We have a few apps, and no other app has this issue, only those two apps have this issue. As the expiry date the shorten, we also need to special handle these two apps, Will you please help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks.
