What are some effective tips for boosting app installs and improving App Store ranking?
Should you rely only on organic installs, or would a mix of strategies work better? Isn’t optimizing keywords and refining creatives essential for higher visibility? Would running Apple Search Ads not further amplify reach? And doesn’t encouraging strong reviews ultimately help in improving both ranking and credibility?

Equivalent of coalescedTouchesForTouch in AppKit?
This method on UIEvent gets you more touch positions, and I think it's useful for a drawing app, to respond with greater precision to the position of the Pencil stylus. Is there a similar thing in macOS, for mouse or tablet events? I found this property mouseCoalescingEnabled, but the docs there don't describe how to get the extra events.

WebView makes website content unaccessible on the top/bottom edges
I'm being faced with an issue when using SwiftUI's WebView on iOS 26. In many websites, the top/bottom content is unaccessible due to being under the app's toolbars. It feels like the WebView doesn't really understand the safe areas where it's being shown, because the content should start right below the navigation bar, and only when the user scrolls down, the content should move under the bar (but it's always reachable if the users scroll back up). Here's a demo of the issue: Here's a 'fix' by ensuring that the content of the WebView never leaves its bounds. But as you can see, it feels out of place on iOS 26 (would be fine on previous OS versions if you had a fully opaque toolbar): Code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { WebView(url: URL(string: "https://apple.com")).toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button("Top content covered, unaccessible.") {} } } } } } Does anyone know if there's a way to fix it using some sort of view modifier combination or it's just broken as-is?

RealityKit / visionOS – Memory not released after dismissing ImmersiveSpace with USDZ models
Hi everyone, I’m encountering a memory overflow issue in my visionOS app and I’d like to confirm if this is expected behavior or if I’m missing something in cleanup. App Context The app showcases apartments in real scale using AR. Apartments are heavy USDZ models (hundreds of thousands of triangles, high-resolution textures). Users can walk inside the apartments, and performance is good even close to hardware limits. Flow The app starts in a full immersive space (RealityView) for selecting the apartment. When an apartment is selected, a new ImmersiveSpace opens and the apartment scene loads. The scene includes multiple USDZ models, EnvironmentResources, and dynamic textures for skyboxes. When the user dismisses the experience, we attempt cleanup: Nulling out all entity references. Removing ModelComponents. Clearing cached textures and skyboxes. Forcing dictionaries/collections to empty. Despite this cleanup, memory usage remains very high. Problem After dismissing the ImmersiveSpace, memory does not return to baseline. Check the attached screenshot of the profiling made using Instruments: Initial state: ~30MB (main menu). After loading models sequentially: ~3.3GB. Skybox textures bring it near ~4GB. After dismissing the experience (at ~01:00 mark): memory only drops slightly (to ~2.66GB). When loading the second apartment, memory continues to increase until ~5GB, at which point the app crashes due to memory pressure. The issue is consistently visible under VM: IOSurface in Instruments. No leaks are detected. So it looks like RealityKit (or lower-level frameworks) keeps caching meshes and textures, and does not free them when RealityView is ended. But for my use case, these resources should be fully released once the ImmersiveSpace is dismissed, since new apartments will load entirely different models and textures. Cleanup Code Example Here’s a simplified version of the cleanup I’m doing: func clearAllRoomEntities() { for (entityName, entity) in entityFromMarker { entity.removeFromParent() if let modelEntity = entity as? ModelEntity { modelEntity.components.removeAll() modelEntity.children.forEach { $0.removeFromParent() } modelEntity.clearTexturesAndMaterials() } entityFromMarker[entityName] = nil removeSkyboxPortals(from: entityName) } entityFromMarker.removeAll() } extension ModelEntity { func clearTexturesAndMaterials() { guard var modelComponent = self.model else { return } for index in modelComponent.materials.indices { removeTextures(from: &modelComponent.materials[index]) } modelComponent.materials.removeAll() self.model = modelComponent self.model = nil } private func removeTextures(from material: inout any Material) { if var pbr = material as? PhysicallyBasedMaterial { pbr.baseColor.texture = nil pbr.emissiveColor.texture = nil pbr.metallic.texture = nil pbr.roughness.texture = nil pbr.normal.texture = nil pbr.ambientOcclusion.texture = nil pbr.clearcoat.texture = nil material = pbr } else if var simple = material as? SimpleMaterial { simple.color.texture = nil material = simple } } } Questions Is this expected RealityKit behavior (textures/meshes cached internally)? Is there a way to force RealityKit to release GPU resources tied to USDZ models when they’re no longer used? Should dismissing the ImmersiveSpace automatically free those IOSurfaces, or do I need to handle this differently? Any guidance, best practices, or confirmation would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Text with Liquid Glass effect
I'm looking for a way to implement Liquid Glass effect in a Text, and I have issues. If I want to do gradient effect in a Text, no problem, like below. Text("Liquid Glass") .font(Font.system(size: 30, weight: .bold)) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .foregroundStyle( LinearGradient( colors: [.blue, .mint, .green], startPoint: .leading, endPoint: .trailing ) ) But I cannot make sure that I can apply the .glassEffect with .mask or .foregroundStyle. The Glass type and Shape type argument looks like not compatible with the Text shape itself. Any solution to do this effect on Text ? Thanks in advance for your answers.

What metrics influence App Store visibility for iOS apps in 2025?
There’s still debate on what drives App Store rankings, but some confirmed factors include app name, subtitle, keyword field, downloads, ratings, and in-app events. Likely influences are stability, retention, conversion rate, and user behavior. Search relies most on metadata, Top Charts focus on download velocity, and Featured spots are editorially chosen. Elements like promo text, long description, and release notes don’t impact rankings.

How to stop navigation items from moving into an overflow menu
One screen in my app uses a navigation bar with some buttons added to the titleView and some buttons added as a customView of a single rightBarButtonItem. In iOS 26 (beta 9), if I switch to the home screen and back again, the titleView and rightBarButtonItem disappear and an overflow button (three dots) appears instead. Nothing happens when I click the overflow button. Here's a screen capture: https://youtu.be/tthRnMz98kA This also happens when I switch to another app, when I rotate the device or when I resize the app window. In all cases, there is enough room to show all the buttons, but they still disappear. I overrode the viewWillTransition function in my view controller and logged when that runs. I can see that if I switch to the home screen and back again before that runs (within one or two seconds), there's no problem. But once that runs, the navigation bar items disappear and the overflow button appears. I have not done anything to set up the overflow button and don't have any need to use it. The documentation about it isn't very detailed, but it seems like it shouldn't be used unless I add it. This wasn't a problem in iOS 18 or earlier iOS versions. Does anyone know how to stop this? BTW, I'm using Swift, but not SwiftUI.

Apple Map App Crash, when witched to satellite view
hi, When changing the map to Satellite in Apple Maps and centering it on Ōmuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan (as shown in the image), the app crashes when swiping to the right. This issue also occurs in MapKit, and I confirmed it happens in Apple Maps as well. It seems that either the satellite map tiles are missing or an error is occurring. Our application is experiencing a crash, and this has become a serious issue. Since September 1, crashes have increased significantly. Initially, we suspected that the issue was due to our application’s implementation, but our investigation revealed that the problem lies with the map tiles being called through MapKit. Could you please investigate this issue and provide a fix?

ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialAssertion.signature algorithm
Hello everyone. Hope this one finds you well) I have an issue with integrating a FIDO2 server with ASAuthorizationController. I have managed to register a user with passkey successfully, however when authenticating, the request for authentication response fails. The server can't validate signature field. I can see 2 possible causes for the issue: ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialAssertion.rawAuthenticatorData contains invalid algorithm information (the server tries ES256, which ultimately fails with false response), or I have messed up Base64URL encoding for the signature property (which is unlikely, since all other fields also require Base64URL, and the server consumes them with no issues). So the question is, what encryption algorithm does ASAuthorizationController use? Maybe someone has other ideas regarding where to look into? Please help. Thanks)

CoreVideo + Rosetta still clamps at 60Hz (since macOS 12)
We set the CVDisplayLink on macOS to 0 or 120, and get the following. This then clamps maximum refresh to 60Hz on the 120Hz ProMotion display on a MBP M2 Max laptop. How is this not fixed in 4 macOS releases? CoreVideo: currentVBLDelta returned 200000 for display 1 -- ignoring unreasonable value CoreVideo: [0x7fe2fb816020] Bad CurrentVBLDelta for display 1 is zero. defaulting to 60Hz.

Issue keeping scroll position in SwiftUI
Hey there, Link to the sample project: https://github.com/dev-loic/AppleSampleScrolling Context We are working on creating a feed of posts in SwiftUI. So far, we have successfully implemented a classic feed that opens from the top, with bottom pagination — a standard use case. Our goal, however, is to allow the feed to open from any post, not just the first one. For example, we would like to open the feed directly at the 3rd post and then trigger a network call to load elements both above and below it. Our main focus here is on preserving the scroll position while opening the screen and waiting for the network call to complete. To illustrate the issue, I created a sample project (attached) with two screens: MainView, which contains buttons to open the feed in different states. ScrollingView, which initially shows a single element, simulates a 3-second network call, and then populates with new data depending on which button was tapped. I am currently using Xcode 26 beta 6, but I can also reproduce this issue on Xcode 16.3. Tests on sample project I click on a button and just wait the 3 seconds for the call. In this scenario, I expect that the “focused item” stays at the exact same place on the screen. I also expect to see items below and above being added. Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 18.4 with itemsHeight = 100 position = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ works as expected position = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ scroll is reset to the top and we loose the focused item Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 18.4 with itemsHeight = 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible position = 8, 9 ⇒ scroll is reset to the top and we loose the focused item Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 100 or 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Device iPhone 15 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 100 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Device iPhone 15 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ works as expected position = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Not any user interaction Moreover, in this scenario, the user does not interact with the screen during the simulated network call. Regardless of the situation, if the ScrollView is in motion, its position always resets to the top. This behavior prevents us from implementing automatic pagination when scrolling upward, which is ultimately our goal. My conclusion so far As far as I know it seems not possible to have both keeping scroll possible and upward automatic pagination using a SwiftUI LazyVStack inside a ScrollView. This appears to be standard behavior in messaging apps or other feed-based apps, and I’m wondering if I might be missing something. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide on this topic. Cheers
