Animation Glitch behind Tab-bar
I'm trying to replicate edit/select mode of iOS 26 photos app. When user clicks Select button, bottom tab bar is replaced by the toolbar buttons. When I press Done button, a white opaque bar appears at the bottom behind the tabbar. It looks pretty straightforward to implement but I'm banging my head here now. Any help will be appreciated. Code and animation frames attached bellow struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { OverviewView() .tabItem { Image(systemName: "chart.pie") Text("Overview") } .tag(0) //rest of the tabs } } } struct OverviewView: View { @State private var editActive = false @State private var selection = Set<String>() @State private var items = [ "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", ] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(selection: $selection) { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } } .toolbar { if editActive { ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button { } label: { Label("Delete", systemImage: "trash") } } ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button { } label: { Label("Category", systemImage: "tag") } } } ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button(editActive ? "Done" : "Select") { withAnimation { editActive.toggle() } } } } .environment(\.editMode, .constant(editActive ? .active : .inactive)) .toolbar(editActive ? .hidden : .visible, for: .tabBar) } } } I have attached 5 frames during animation phase.

.glassEffect() renders dark on device but works on simulator - TestFlight doesn't fix it
iOS 26 SwiftUI .glassEffect() renders dark/gray on physical device - TestFlight doesn't fix it .glassEffect() renders as dark/muddy gray on my physical iPhone instead of the light frosted glass like Apple Music's tab bar. What I've confirmed: Same code works perfectly on iOS Simulator Apple Music and other Apple apps show correct Liquid Glass on same device Brand new Xcode project with just .glassEffect() also renders dark TestFlight build (App Store signing) has the SAME problem - still dark/gray This rules out developer signing vs App Store signing as the cause What I've tried: Clean build, delete derived data, reinstall app Completely reinstalled Xcode All accessibility settings correct (Reduce Transparency OFF, Liquid Glass set to Clear) Disabled Metal diagnostics Debug and Release builds Added window configuration for Extended sRGB/P3 color space Added AppDelegate with configureWindowForLiquidGlass() Tried .preferredColorScheme(nil) Tried background animation to force "live" rendering Environment: iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.3 Xcode 26.2 macOS 26.3 The question: Why does .glassEffect() work for Apple's apps but not third party apps, even with App Store signing via TestFlight? What am I missing?

Slow rendering List backed by SwiftData @Query
Hello, I've a question about performance when trying to render lots of items coming from SwiftData via a @Query on a SwiftUI List. Here's my setup: // Item.swift: @Model final class Item: Identifiable { var timestamp: Date var isOptionA: Bool init() { self.timestamp = Date() self.isOptionA = Bool.random() } } // Menu.swift enum Menu: String, CaseIterable, Hashable, Identifiable { var id: String { rawValue } case optionA case optionB case all var predicate: Predicate<Item> { switch self { case .optionA: return #Predicate { $0.isOptionA } case .optionB: return #Predicate { !$0.isOptionA } case .all: return #Predicate { _ in true } } } } // SlowData.swift @main struct SlowDataApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([Item.self]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) return try! ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } } // ContentView.swift struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @State var selection: Menu? = .optionA var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Menu.allCases, selection: $selection) { menu in Text(menu.rawValue).tag(menu) } } detail: { DemoListView(selectedMenu: $selection) }.onAppear { // Do this just once // (0..<15_000).forEach { index in // let item = Item() // modelContext.insert(item) // } } } } // DemoListView.swift struct DemoListView: View { @Binding var selectedMenu: Menu? @Query private var items: [Item] init(selectedMenu: Binding<Menu?>) { self._selectedMenu = selectedMenu self._items = Query(filter: selectedMenu.wrappedValue?.predicate, sort: \.timestamp) } var body: some View { // Option 1: touching `items` = slow! List(items) { item in Text(item.timestamp.description) } // Option 2: Not touching `items` = fast! // List { // Text("Not accessing `items` here") // } .navigationTitle(selectedMenu?.rawValue ?? "N/A") } } When I use Option 1 on DemoListView, there's a noticeable delay on the navigation. If I use Option 2, there's none. This happens both on Debug builds and Release builds, just FYI because on Xcode 16 Debug builds seem to be slower than expected: https://indieweb.social/@curtclifton/113273571392595819 I've profiled it and the SwiftData fetches seem blazing fast, the Hang occurs when accessing the items property from the List. Is there anything I'm overlooking or it's just as fast as it can be right now?

.safeAreaBar(edge: .bottom), animation lag on appear/disappear
When I try to show/hide the content in .safeAreaBar(edge: .bottom), especially the content with a large height, the background animation of the toolbar is very laggy. iOS 26 RC Feedback ID - FB19768797 import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isShown: Bool = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { Button("Toggle") { withAnimation { isShown.toggle() } } ScrollView(.vertical) { ForEach(0..<100) { index in Text("\(index)") .padding() .border(.blue) .background(.blue) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } } .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .bottom) .safeAreaBar(edge: .bottom) { if isShown { Text("Safe area bar") .padding(64) .background(.red) } } } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

Issues with ScrollView and nested (Lazy)VStack
Hello, We're having massive issues when we nest LazyVStacks inside a ScrollView. Our app relies heavily on custom views that are sometimes nested two or three levels deep. While the app does work fine overall, we see a massive spike in CPU usage in Instruments when accessibility features like VoiceOver are enabled. Those spikes never recover, so the app basically freezes and stays that way until force quit. We are in talks with a third-party service that uses accessibility features we want to use. Fortunately they have created a GitHub repository which recreates the issue we're facing. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could have a look at the code and tell us what the issue is, or if there's some kind of workaround. Here's the link to the repo: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction. Just to be clear, the issue is not directly related to the third-party SDK, but to the accessibility features used in conjunction with SwiftUI. As you can see in the repo the issue is reproducible without having the SDK included in the project. Thanks in advance

SwiftUI ScrollView scrollTo not consistently scrolling to latest message
I am implementing an AI chat application and aiming to achieve ChatGPT-like behavior. Specifically, when a new message is sent, the ScrollView should automatically scroll to the top to display the latest message. I am currently using the scrollTo method for this purpose, but the behavior is inconsistent—sometimes it works as expected, and other times it does not. I’ve noticed that this issue has been reported in multiple places, which suggests it may be a known SwiftUI limitation. I’d like to know: Has this issue been fixed in recent SwiftUI versions, or does it still persist? If it still exists, is there a reliable solution or workaround that anyone can recommend?

WidgetKit + AppIntent widget never sees shared snapshots (Flutter host app)
Environment iOS 17.2, Xcode 16.2, physical iPhone (12 Pro) Main app in Flutter WidgetKit extension written in Swift (Swift‑PM package) Shared App Group: group.cool.glance.shared Widget uses an AppIntent (FeedSelectionIntent) + custom entity (FeedAppEntity) Flutter bridge writes JSON snapshots for the widget Observed behaviour Flutter prints the snapshot payload and writes /…/AppGroup/<uuid>/Library/Caches/feed_snapshots.json. Widget gallery only shows the plain grey system placeholder (my sample placeholder never appears). Console log every time WidgetKit runs: chronod: Unable to resolve default intent (appintent:FeedSelectionIntent) for extension cool.glance.app.widget Error Domain=LNMetadataProviderErrorDomain Code=9000 LinkMetadata.BundleMetadataExtractionError.aggregateMetadataIsEmpty Added os_log in the widget + bridge (WidgetsBridgePlugin, FeedSnapshotStore, FeedEntityQuery, FeedSummaryTimeline), but none of them ever appear. That suggests the widget bundle can’t see the compiled AppIntent metadata or the snapshot file even though it’s there. Code (trimmed to essentials) FeedSelectionIntent.swift struct FeedSelectionIntent: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Feed" static var description = IntentDescription("Choose which feed should appear in the widget.") @Parameter(title: "Feed", requestValueDialog: IntentDialog("Select which feed to display.")) var feed: FeedAppEntity? static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Show \(\.$feed)") } init() { feed = FeedAppEntity.sample } init(feed: FeedAppEntity?) { self.feed = feed } static var defaultValue: FeedSelectionIntent { FeedSelectionIntent(feed: .sample) } func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result() } } FeedSnapshotStore.loadSnapshots() guard let containerURL = fileManager.containerURL( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: appGroupIdentifier) else { os_log("FeedSnapshotStore: missing app group container %{public}s", log: Self.log, type: .error, appGroupIdentifier) return [] } let fileURL = SharedConstants.feedSnapshotRelativePath.reduce(containerURL) { url, component in url.appendingPathComponent(component, isDirectory: component != SharedConstants.feedSnapshotFileName) } guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: fileURL), !data.isEmpty else { os_log("FeedSnapshotStore: no snapshot data found at %{public}s", log: Self.log, type: .info, fileURL.path) return [] } // decode FeedSnapshotEnvelope… WidgetsBridgePlugin.writeSnapshots (Flutter → widget) guard let containerURL = fileManager.containerURL( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: SharedConstants.appGroupIdentifier) else { result(FlutterError(code: "container-unavailable", message: "Unable to locate shared app group container.", details: nil)) return } let targetDir = SharedConstants.feedSnapshotRelativePath.dropLast().reduce(containerURL) { $0.appendingPathComponent($1, isDirectory: true) } try fileManager.createDirectory(at: targetDir, withIntermediateDirectories: true) let targetURL = targetDir.appendingPathComponent(SharedConstants.feedSnapshotFileName, isDirectory: false) try data.write(to: targetURL, options: .atomic) WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "GlanceSummaryWidget") os_log("WidgetsBridgePlugin: wrote snapshots for %{public}d feeds at %{public}s", log: WidgetsBridgePlugin.log, type: .info, envelope.feeds.count, targetURL.path) Info.plist for the widget contains only: <key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.widgetkit-extension</string> <key>NSExtensionAttributes</key> <dict> <key>WKAppBundleIdentifier</key> <string>cool.glance.app</string> </dict> (If I add NSExtensionPrincipalClass, the install fails with “principal class not allowed for com.apple.widgetkit-extension”, so it stays out.) What I’ve double‑checked App Group entitlement present on Runner.app and the widget extension. Snapshot file definitely exists under Library/Caches/feed_snapshots.json (size updates when Flutter writes). Code matches Apple’s “Making a configurable widget” sample (custom WidgetConfigurationIntent, entity, and timeline provider). Cleaned build folders (Flutter + Xcode), reinstalled app from scratch, but I still don’t see any of the os_log messages from the widget extension-only the LinkMetadata error above. Placeholder entry (SampleSnapshots.recentSummary) is wired up; yet the system never uses it and always drops to the generic grey preview. Questions Does LinkMetadata.BundleMetadataExtractionError.aggregateMetadataIsEmpty mean WidgetKit can’t see the compiled AppIntent metadata? If so, what could cause that when the extension is built via Swift Package Manager inside a Flutter project? Are there extra build settings or plist keys required so the AppIntent metadata gets embedded in the widget bundle? Any reason the widget would never reach my FeedSnapshotStore logs even though the file is written and the App Group is configured? Any help connecting the dots would be hugely appreciated.

In SwiftUI on macOS, using instancing in RealityKit, how can I set individual colours per instance?
I have written this function: @available(macOS 26.0, *) func instancing() async -> Entity { let entity = Entity() do { // 1. Create a CustomMaterial let library = offscreenRenderer.pointRenderer!.device.makeDefaultLibrary()! let surfaceShader = CustomMaterial.SurfaceShader( named: "surfaceShaderWithCustomUniforms", // This must match the function name in Metal in: library ) let instanceCount = 10 // No idea how to actually use this... // let bufferSize = instanceCount * MemoryLayout<UInt32>.stride // // // Create the descriptor // var descriptor = LowLevelBuffer.Descriptor(capacity: bufferSize, sizeMultiple: MemoryLayout<UInt32>.stride) // // // Initialize the buffer // let lowLevelBuffer = try LowLevelBuffer(descriptor: descriptor) // lowLevelBuffer.withUnsafeMutableBytes { rawBytes in // // Bind the raw memory to the UInt32 type // let pointer = rawBytes.bindMemory(to: UInt32.self) // pointer[1] = 0xff_0000 // pointer[0] = 0x00_ff00 // pointer[2] = 0x00_00ff // pointer[3] = 0xff_ff00 // pointer[4] = 0xff_00ff // pointer[5] = 0x00_ffff // pointer[6] = 0xff_ffff // pointer[7] = 0x7f_0000 // pointer[8] = 0x00_7f00 // pointer[9] = 0x00_007f // } var material = try CustomMaterial(surfaceShader: surfaceShader, lightingModel: .lit) material.withMutableUniforms(ofType: SurfaceCustomUniforms.self, stage: .surfaceShader) { params, resources in params.argb = 0xff_0000 } // 2. Create the ModelComponent (provides the MESH and MATERIAL) let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 0.5) let modelComponent = ModelComponent(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) // 3. Create the MeshInstancesComponent (provides the INSTANCE TRANSFORMS) let instanceData = try LowLevelInstanceData(instanceCount: instanceCount) instanceData.withMutableTransforms { transforms in for i in 0..<instanceCount { let instanceAngle = 2 * .pi * Float(i) / Float(instanceCount) let radialTranslation: SIMD3<Float> = [-sin(instanceAngle), cos(instanceAngle), 0] * 4 // Position each sphere around a circle. let transform = Transform( scale: .one, rotation: simd_quatf(angle: instanceAngle, axis: [0, 0, 1]), translation: radialTranslation ) transforms[i] = transform.matrix } } let instancesComponent = try MeshInstancesComponent(mesh: mesh, instances: instanceData) // 4. Attach BOTH to the same entity entity.components.set(modelComponent) entity.components.set(instancesComponent) } catch { print("Failed to create mesh instances: \(error)") } return entity } and this is the corresponding Metal shader typedef struct { uint32_t argb; } SurfaceCustomUniforms; [[stitchable]] void surfaceShaderWithCustomUniforms(realitykit::surface_parameters params, constant SurfaceCustomUniforms &customParams) { half3 color = { static_cast<half>((customParams.argb >> 16) & 0xff), static_cast<half>((customParams.argb >> 8) & 0xff), static_cast<half>(customParams.argb & 0xff) }; params.surface().set_base_color(color); } which works well and generates 10 red spheres. While listening to the WWDC25 presentation on what's new in RealityKit I am positive to hear the presenter saying that it is possible to customise each instance using a LowLevelBuffer, but so far all my attempts have failed. Is it possible, and if so how ? Thanks for reading and for your help. Kind regards, Christian

.bottomBar menu button briefly disappears after menu dismissal on iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)
[Also submitted as FB20636175] In iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e), ToolbarItem menus with .bottomBar placement cause the toolbar item to disappear and rebuild after the menu is dismissed, instead of smoothly morphing back. The bottom toolbar can take 1–2 seconds to reappear. This also seems to coincide with this console error: Adding 'UIKitToolbar' as a subview of UIHostingController.view is not supported and may result in a broken view hierarchy. Add your view above UIHostingController.view in a common superview or insert it into your SwiftUI content in a UIViewRepresentable instead. This occurs both on device and in a simulator. Sample Project This sample ContentView includes two menu buttons—one in the bottom bar and one in the top bar. Dismissing the bottom bar menu causes a short delay before the button reappears, while the top bar menu behaves normally. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Tap and dismiss both menu buttons and note the difference.") .navigationTitle("BottomBar Menu Issue") .navigationSubtitle("Reproduces on iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)") .toolbar { // Control: top bar trailing menu animates back smoothly ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("More", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") .font(.title3) } } // Repro: delay before menu button reappears after menu dismissal ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("Actions", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") .font(.title2) } } } } } } Passwords App This can also be seen in iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)'s Passwords app ("All" or "Passcodes" views):

Horrible weird Window Server killing bug
OS 26.s, Xcode 26.2 TLDR: My pure SwiftUI app freezes the window server, is this a known problem? My app is pure SwiftUI, no low level calls, no networking, no tricksy pointer use. Somehow, something in my code is terminally confusing the Window Server. As in, I run the app, and before I ever seen a window, the Window Server locks up, and is killed by the OS for being unresponsive. Using debugging shows that I get to the end of a Canvas, and it simply freezes upon exiting. I'm about to do the old comment out everything, and bring it back a bit at a time, but I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing this sort of thing? The reaction is so extreme. And it's not Xcode in particular, I built the program with xcodebuild, Xcode itself not running, and ran my app, and it did the same thing.

NavigationBar iOS 26
Hi all, When navigating between two screens where the first uses .inline and the second .large title display mode, the NavigationBar shows visible resizing glitches during the push animation. This is especially noticeable when using a custom background color (e.g. yellow) via UINavigationBarAppearance or .toolbarBackground(Color.yellow, for: .navigationBar). I’m already using the same appearance for standard, scrollEdge, and compact, with configureWithOpaqueBackground(), but the issue remains. Is this a known UIKit or SwiftUI issue? Any recommended workaround? Thanks.

List rows partially obscured by navigation bar briefly render fully opaque when switching tabs (iOS 26)
Overview In iOS 26, a List embedded in a NavigationStack inside a TabView exhibits a visual glitch when switching tabs. When the list is scrolled such that some rows are partially obscured by the navigation bar, the system correctly applies a fade/opacity effect to those rows. However, if the user switches to another tab while rows are in this partially obscured (faded) state, those rows briefly flash at full opacity during the tab transition before disappearing. This flash is visually distracting and appears to be inconsistent with the intended scroll-edge opacity behavior. The issue occurs only for rows partially obscured by the navigation bar. Rows partially obscured by the tab bar do not exhibit this flashing behavior. Steps to Reproduce: Run the attached minimal reproduction on iOS 26. Open the first tab. Scroll the list so that some rows are partially hidden behind the navigation bar (showing the native faded appearance). While rows are in this partially faded state, switch to the second tab. Observe that the faded rows briefly render fully opaque during the tab switch. Expected Behavior: Rows that are partially obscured by the navigation bar should maintain consistent opacity behavior during tab transitions, without flashing to full opacity. import SwiftUI @main struct NavBarReproApp: App { /// Minimal repro for iOS 26: /// - TabView with two tabs /// - First tab: NavigationStack + List /// - Scroll so some rows are partially behind the nav bar (faded) /// - Switch tabs: those partially-faded rows briefly flash fully opaque. Partially faded rows under the tab bar do not flash private let items = Array(0..<200).map { "Row \($0)" } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { TabView { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } } .navigationTitle("One") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .tabItem { Label("One", systemImage: "1.circle") } NavigationStack { Text("Second tab") .navigationTitle("Two") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .tabItem { Label("Two", systemImage: "2.circle") } } } } }

Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'Int' that does not accept a closure
I have TabView in ContentView and I want to add TabView for OnboardingView in OtherView, every things work, but it is throw error for TabView in OtherView like "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'Int' that does not accept a closure" I do not know why? Any idea? ContentView: struct TabView : View {       var body: some View{           VStack(spacing: 0){ ....... } OtherView:    VStack {     TabView {       ForEach(onboardingData) { onboardingItem in          OnboardingCard(onboardingItem: onboardingItem)       }   }   .tabViewStyle(PageTabViewStyle(indexDisplayMode: .automatic))   .indexViewStyle(PageIndexViewStyle (backgroundDisplayMode:   .always))   .foregroundColor(.white) }

Button Style Glass Prominent Ignored on Menu When Used Inside ToolbarItem
When a Menu is placed inside a ToolbarItem, applying buttonStyle(.glassProminent) has no visible effect. The same modifier works correctly when a Button is used instead of a Menu inside the ToolbarItem. In that case, the button is rendered with the accent-colored background as expected. This suggests that Menu does not respect the .glassProminent button style when embedded in a ToolbarItem, even though other button types do. Code Example // Button with accent background color .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button(action: {}) .buttonStyle(.glassProminent) } } // Menu with internal button with no accent background color .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Menu(...) { ... }.buttonStyle(.glassProminent) } }

SwiftUI Performance vs identity
In SwiftUI, it is recommended not to store ViewBuilder closures in sub-views but instead evaluate them directly in init and store the result (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXAQTIKR8fk). That has the advantage, as I understand it, that the closure doesn't need to be re-evaluated on every layout pass. On the other side, identity is a very important topic in SwiftUI to get the UI working properly. Now I have this generic view I'm using with a closure which is displayed in two places (HStack & VStack). Should I store the closure result and get the performance improvements, or evaluate it in place and get correct identities (if that is even an issue)? Simplified example: struct DynamicStack<Content: View>: View { @ViewBuilder var content: () -> Content var body: some View { ViewThatFits(in: .horizontal) { HStack { content() } VStack { content() } } } } vs struct DynamicStack<Content: View>: View { @ViewBuilder var content: Content var body: some View { ViewThatFits(in: .horizontal) { HStack { content } VStack { content } } } }

SwiftUI subviews traverse issue
Our project include UIKIt and SwiftUI, and in some case, we need to traverse all subviews, for UIKit implement views, below code: func findView(byIdentifier identifier: String) -> UIView? { if self.accessibilityIdentifier == identifier { return self } for subview in subviews { if let found = subview.findView(byIdentifier: identifier) { return found } } return nil } works well, but for SwiftUI implement views, like below code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) .accessibilityIdentifier("Image") Text("Hello, world!") .accessibilityIdentifier("Text") } .padding() } } it can not find subviews in the ContentView, and only a view with type: _UIHostingView<ModifiedContent<AnyView, RootModifier>> can be found, the Image and Text is not found; And because we have set a accessibilityIdentifier property, so we also try use: @MainActor var accessibilityElements: [Any]? { get set } to find sub node, but this accessibilityElements is not stable, we can find the Image and Text node in iOS26.1 system: [AX] level=3 AccessibilityNode @ 0x000000010280fb10 id=Image [AX] level=3 AccessibilityNode @ 0x000000010161fbf0 id=Text but can not find it in iOS26.0 and below system. Any suggestion in how to find SwiftUI subviews? thank you

Help with trailing closure errors
I am new to swiftui and have a very small project I am working on to practice passing data between views. I have this error on a form "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'FormStyleConfiguration' that does not accept a closure" If I comment the first section in the form then I get three errors in the ForEach. If anyone can help explain what is going on and what steps I could take to determine where the problem is coming from I would appreciate the help. This is the model I created: import Observation import SwiftUI @Model final class Client { var id = UUID() var name: String var location: String var selectedJob: Person init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String, location: String, selectedJob: Person) { self.id = id self.name = name self.location = location self.selectedJob = selectedJob } } extension Client { enum Person: String, CaseIterable, Codable { case homeOwner = "Home Owner" case contractor = "Contractor" case designer = "Designer" } } @Model class Enclosure { var id = UUID() var room: String = "" var unitType: String = "" init(id: UUID = UUID(), room: String, unitType: String) { self.id = id self.room = room self.unitType = unitType } } This is the detail view where the error is happening: import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @Query(sort: \Enclosure.room, order: .forward, animation: .default) private var enclosures: [Enclosure] @State private var showingAddEnclosure = false @State private var showingAddMirror = false @State private var name: String = "" @State private var location: String = "" @State private var selectedJob = Client.Person.homeOwner @State var clients: Client var body: some View { NavigationStack { Form { Section("Details") { TextField("Full Name", text: Client.$name) TextField("Location", text: Client.location) Picker("Job Type", selection: $selectedJob) { ForEach(Client.Person.allCases, id: \.self) { selected in Text(selected.rawValue).tag(selected) } } } Section("Enclosures") { List { ForEach($clients.enclosures) { enclosure in NavigationLink(destination: EnclosureDetailView()) { VStack { Text(enclosure.room) Text(enclosure.unitType) } } .swipeActions { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { modelContext.delete(enclosure) } } } } } } .navigationTitle("Project Details") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button { showingAddEnclosure.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Enclosure") } Button { showingAddMirror.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Mirror") } } label: { Label("Add", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddEnclosure) { EnclosureView() } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddMirror) { EnclosureView() } } } }

how to custom DatePicker Label
I have a custom UI to display date (for user birthday) and want if the user presses each part of the label , the date selection is displayed, the current issue is , when I try to reduce the DatePicker opacity or set the colorMultipli to clear color, it still clickable on the date area, while my object is a fullWidth object, how can I fix it? This is the code: VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Birthday") .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundStyle(Color(uiColor: .label)) HStack(alignment: .center) { Text(userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday.getShortFormat(format: "dd MMM yyyy")) .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundColor(Color(uiColor: .label)) .padding(.horizontal, 13) Spacer() } .frame(height: 44) .contentShape(Rectangle()) .overlay { HStack { DatePicker(selection: $userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday, displayedComponents: .date) {} .labelsHidden() .colorMultiply(.clear) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundStyle(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .contentShape(Rectangle()) // .opacity(0.011) Spacer() } } .background(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4)) }

Animation Glitch behind Tab-bar
I'm trying to replicate edit/select mode of iOS 26 photos app. When user clicks Select button, bottom tab bar is replaced by the toolbar buttons. When I press Done button, a white opaque bar appears at the bottom behind the tabbar. It looks pretty straightforward to implement but I'm banging my head here now. Any help will be appreciated. Code and animation frames attached bellow struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { OverviewView() .tabItem { Image(systemName: "chart.pie") Text("Overview") } .tag(0) //rest of the tabs } } } struct OverviewView: View { @State private var editActive = false @State private var selection = Set<String>() @State private var items = [ "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", ] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(selection: $selection) { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } } .toolbar { if editActive { ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button { } label: { Label("Delete", systemImage: "trash") } } ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button { } label: { Label("Category", systemImage: "tag") } } } ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button(editActive ? "Done" : "Select") { withAnimation { editActive.toggle() } } } } .environment(\.editMode, .constant(editActive ? .active : .inactive)) .toolbar(editActive ? .hidden : .visible, for: .tabBar) } } } I have attached 5 frames during animation phase.

.glassEffect() renders dark on device but works on simulator - TestFlight doesn't fix it
iOS 26 SwiftUI .glassEffect() renders dark/gray on physical device - TestFlight doesn't fix it .glassEffect() renders as dark/muddy gray on my physical iPhone instead of the light frosted glass like Apple Music's tab bar. What I've confirmed: Same code works perfectly on iOS Simulator Apple Music and other Apple apps show correct Liquid Glass on same device Brand new Xcode project with just .glassEffect() also renders dark TestFlight build (App Store signing) has the SAME problem - still dark/gray This rules out developer signing vs App Store signing as the cause What I've tried: Clean build, delete derived data, reinstall app Completely reinstalled Xcode All accessibility settings correct (Reduce Transparency OFF, Liquid Glass set to Clear) Disabled Metal diagnostics Debug and Release builds Added window configuration for Extended sRGB/P3 color space Added AppDelegate with configureWindowForLiquidGlass() Tried .preferredColorScheme(nil) Tried background animation to force "live" rendering Environment: iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.3 Xcode 26.2 macOS 26.3 The question: Why does .glassEffect() work for Apple's apps but not third party apps, even with App Store signing via TestFlight? What am I missing?

Slow rendering List backed by SwiftData @Query
Hello, I've a question about performance when trying to render lots of items coming from SwiftData via a @Query on a SwiftUI List. Here's my setup: // Item.swift: @Model final class Item: Identifiable { var timestamp: Date var isOptionA: Bool init() { self.timestamp = Date() self.isOptionA = Bool.random() } } // Menu.swift enum Menu: String, CaseIterable, Hashable, Identifiable { var id: String { rawValue } case optionA case optionB case all var predicate: Predicate<Item> { switch self { case .optionA: return #Predicate { $0.isOptionA } case .optionB: return #Predicate { !$0.isOptionA } case .all: return #Predicate { _ in true } } } } // SlowData.swift @main struct SlowDataApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([Item.self]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) return try! ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } } // ContentView.swift struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @State var selection: Menu? = .optionA var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Menu.allCases, selection: $selection) { menu in Text(menu.rawValue).tag(menu) } } detail: { DemoListView(selectedMenu: $selection) }.onAppear { // Do this just once // (0..<15_000).forEach { index in // let item = Item() // modelContext.insert(item) // } } } } // DemoListView.swift struct DemoListView: View { @Binding var selectedMenu: Menu? @Query private var items: [Item] init(selectedMenu: Binding<Menu?>) { self._selectedMenu = selectedMenu self._items = Query(filter: selectedMenu.wrappedValue?.predicate, sort: \.timestamp) } var body: some View { // Option 1: touching `items` = slow! List(items) { item in Text(item.timestamp.description) } // Option 2: Not touching `items` = fast! // List { // Text("Not accessing `items` here") // } .navigationTitle(selectedMenu?.rawValue ?? "N/A") } } When I use Option 1 on DemoListView, there's a noticeable delay on the navigation. If I use Option 2, there's none. This happens both on Debug builds and Release builds, just FYI because on Xcode 16 Debug builds seem to be slower than expected: https://indieweb.social/@curtclifton/113273571392595819 I've profiled it and the SwiftData fetches seem blazing fast, the Hang occurs when accessing the items property from the List. Is there anything I'm overlooking or it's just as fast as it can be right now?

.safeAreaBar(edge: .bottom), animation lag on appear/disappear

Issues with ScrollView and nested (Lazy)VStack
Hello, We're having massive issues when we nest LazyVStacks inside a ScrollView. Our app relies heavily on custom views that are sometimes nested two or three levels deep. While the app does work fine overall, we see a massive spike in CPU usage in Instruments when accessibility features like VoiceOver are enabled. Those spikes never recover, so the app basically freezes and stays that way until force quit. We are in talks with a third-party service that uses accessibility features we want to use. Fortunately they have created a GitHub repository which recreates the issue we're facing. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could have a look at the code and tell us what the issue is, or if there's some kind of workaround. Here's the link to the repo: https://github.com/pendo-io/SwiftUI_Hang_Reproduction. Just to be clear, the issue is not directly related to the third-party SDK, but to the accessibility features used in conjunction with SwiftUI. As you can see in the repo the issue is reproducible without having the SDK included in the project. Thanks in advance

SwiftUI ScrollView scrollTo not consistently scrolling to latest message
I am implementing an AI chat application and aiming to achieve ChatGPT-like behavior. Specifically, when a new message is sent, the ScrollView should automatically scroll to the top to display the latest message. I am currently using the scrollTo method for this purpose, but the behavior is inconsistent—sometimes it works as expected, and other times it does not. I’ve noticed that this issue has been reported in multiple places, which suggests it may be a known SwiftUI limitation. I’d like to know: Has this issue been fixed in recent SwiftUI versions, or does it still persist? If it still exists, is there a reliable solution or workaround that anyone can recommend?

WidgetKit + AppIntent widget never sees shared snapshots (Flutter host app)
Environment iOS 17.2, Xcode 16.2, physical iPhone (12 Pro) Main app in Flutter WidgetKit extension written in Swift (Swift‑PM package) Shared App Group: group.cool.glance.shared Widget uses an AppIntent (FeedSelectionIntent) + custom entity (FeedAppEntity) Flutter bridge writes JSON snapshots for the widget Observed behaviour Flutter prints the snapshot payload and writes /…/AppGroup/<uuid>/Library/Caches/feed_snapshots.json. Widget gallery only shows the plain grey system placeholder (my sample placeholder never appears). Console log every time WidgetKit runs: chronod: Unable to resolve default intent (appintent:FeedSelectionIntent) for extension cool.glance.app.widget Error Domain=LNMetadataProviderErrorDomain Code=9000 LinkMetadata.BundleMetadataExtractionError.aggregateMetadataIsEmpty Added os_log in the widget + bridge (WidgetsBridgePlugin, FeedSnapshotStore, FeedEntityQuery, FeedSummaryTimeline), but none of them ever appear. That suggests the widget bundle can’t see the compiled AppIntent metadata or the snapshot file even though it’s there. Code (trimmed to essentials) FeedSelectionIntent.swift struct FeedSelectionIntent: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Feed" static var description = IntentDescription("Choose which feed should appear in the widget.") @Parameter(title: "Feed", requestValueDialog: IntentDialog("Select which feed to display.")) var feed: FeedAppEntity? static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Show \(\.$feed)") } init() { feed = FeedAppEntity.sample } init(feed: FeedAppEntity?) { self.feed = feed } static var defaultValue: FeedSelectionIntent { FeedSelectionIntent(feed: .sample) } func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result() } } FeedSnapshotStore.loadSnapshots() guard let containerURL = fileManager.containerURL( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: appGroupIdentifier) else { os_log("FeedSnapshotStore: missing app group container %{public}s", log: Self.log, type: .error, appGroupIdentifier) return [] } let fileURL = SharedConstants.feedSnapshotRelativePath.reduce(containerURL) { url, component in url.appendingPathComponent(component, isDirectory: component != SharedConstants.feedSnapshotFileName) } guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: fileURL), !data.isEmpty else { os_log("FeedSnapshotStore: no snapshot data found at %{public}s", log: Self.log, type: .info, fileURL.path) return [] } // decode FeedSnapshotEnvelope… WidgetsBridgePlugin.writeSnapshots (Flutter → widget) guard let containerURL = fileManager.containerURL( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: SharedConstants.appGroupIdentifier) else { result(FlutterError(code: "container-unavailable", message: "Unable to locate shared app group container.", details: nil)) return } let targetDir = SharedConstants.feedSnapshotRelativePath.dropLast().reduce(containerURL) { $0.appendingPathComponent($1, isDirectory: true) } try fileManager.createDirectory(at: targetDir, withIntermediateDirectories: true) let targetURL = targetDir.appendingPathComponent(SharedConstants.feedSnapshotFileName, isDirectory: false) try data.write(to: targetURL, options: .atomic) WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "GlanceSummaryWidget") os_log("WidgetsBridgePlugin: wrote snapshots for %{public}d feeds at %{public}s", log: WidgetsBridgePlugin.log, type: .info, envelope.feeds.count, targetURL.path) Info.plist for the widget contains only: <key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.widgetkit-extension</string> <key>NSExtensionAttributes</key> <dict> <key>WKAppBundleIdentifier</key> <string>cool.glance.app</string> </dict> (If I add NSExtensionPrincipalClass, the install fails with “principal class not allowed for com.apple.widgetkit-extension”, so it stays out.) What I’ve double‑checked App Group entitlement present on Runner.app and the widget extension. Snapshot file definitely exists under Library/Caches/feed_snapshots.json (size updates when Flutter writes). Code matches Apple’s “Making a configurable widget” sample (custom WidgetConfigurationIntent, entity, and timeline provider). Cleaned build folders (Flutter + Xcode), reinstalled app from scratch, but I still don’t see any of the os_log messages from the widget extension-only the LinkMetadata error above. Placeholder entry (SampleSnapshots.recentSummary) is wired up; yet the system never uses it and always drops to the generic grey preview. Questions Does LinkMetadata.BundleMetadataExtractionError.aggregateMetadataIsEmpty mean WidgetKit can’t see the compiled AppIntent metadata? If so, what could cause that when the extension is built via Swift Package Manager inside a Flutter project? Are there extra build settings or plist keys required so the AppIntent metadata gets embedded in the widget bundle? Any reason the widget would never reach my FeedSnapshotStore logs even though the file is written and the App Group is configured? Any help connecting the dots would be hugely appreciated.

In SwiftUI on macOS, using instancing in RealityKit, how can I set individual colours per instance?
I have written this function: @available(macOS 26.0, *) func instancing() async -> Entity { let entity = Entity() do { // 1. Create a CustomMaterial let library = offscreenRenderer.pointRenderer!.device.makeDefaultLibrary()! let surfaceShader = CustomMaterial.SurfaceShader( named: "surfaceShaderWithCustomUniforms", // This must match the function name in Metal in: library ) let instanceCount = 10 // No idea how to actually use this... // let bufferSize = instanceCount * MemoryLayout<UInt32>.stride // // // Create the descriptor // var descriptor = LowLevelBuffer.Descriptor(capacity: bufferSize, sizeMultiple: MemoryLayout<UInt32>.stride) // // // Initialize the buffer // let lowLevelBuffer = try LowLevelBuffer(descriptor: descriptor) // lowLevelBuffer.withUnsafeMutableBytes { rawBytes in // // Bind the raw memory to the UInt32 type // let pointer = rawBytes.bindMemory(to: UInt32.self) // pointer[1] = 0xff_0000 // pointer[0] = 0x00_ff00 // pointer[2] = 0x00_00ff // pointer[3] = 0xff_ff00 // pointer[4] = 0xff_00ff // pointer[5] = 0x00_ffff // pointer[6] = 0xff_ffff // pointer[7] = 0x7f_0000 // pointer[8] = 0x00_7f00 // pointer[9] = 0x00_007f // } var material = try CustomMaterial(surfaceShader: surfaceShader, lightingModel: .lit) material.withMutableUniforms(ofType: SurfaceCustomUniforms.self, stage: .surfaceShader) { params, resources in params.argb = 0xff_0000 } // 2. Create the ModelComponent (provides the MESH and MATERIAL) let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 0.5) let modelComponent = ModelComponent(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) // 3. Create the MeshInstancesComponent (provides the INSTANCE TRANSFORMS) let instanceData = try LowLevelInstanceData(instanceCount: instanceCount) instanceData.withMutableTransforms { transforms in for i in 0..<instanceCount { let instanceAngle = 2 * .pi * Float(i) / Float(instanceCount) let radialTranslation: SIMD3<Float> = [-sin(instanceAngle), cos(instanceAngle), 0] * 4 // Position each sphere around a circle. let transform = Transform( scale: .one, rotation: simd_quatf(angle: instanceAngle, axis: [0, 0, 1]), translation: radialTranslation ) transforms[i] = transform.matrix } } let instancesComponent = try MeshInstancesComponent(mesh: mesh, instances: instanceData) // 4. Attach BOTH to the same entity entity.components.set(modelComponent) entity.components.set(instancesComponent) } catch { print("Failed to create mesh instances: \(error)") } return entity } and this is the corresponding Metal shader typedef struct { uint32_t argb; } SurfaceCustomUniforms; [[stitchable]] void surfaceShaderWithCustomUniforms(realitykit::surface_parameters params, constant SurfaceCustomUniforms &customParams) { half3 color = { static_cast<half>((customParams.argb >> 16) & 0xff), static_cast<half>((customParams.argb >> 8) & 0xff), static_cast<half>(customParams.argb & 0xff) }; params.surface().set_base_color(color); } which works well and generates 10 red spheres. While listening to the WWDC25 presentation on what's new in RealityKit I am positive to hear the presenter saying that it is possible to customise each instance using a LowLevelBuffer, but so far all my attempts have failed. Is it possible, and if so how ? Thanks for reading and for your help. Kind regards, Christian

.bottomBar menu button briefly disappears after menu dismissal on iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)
[Also submitted as FB20636175] In iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e), ToolbarItem menus with .bottomBar placement cause the toolbar item to disappear and rebuild after the menu is dismissed, instead of smoothly morphing back. The bottom toolbar can take 1–2 seconds to reappear. This also seems to coincide with this console error: Adding 'UIKitToolbar' as a subview of UIHostingController.view is not supported and may result in a broken view hierarchy. Add your view above UIHostingController.view in a common superview or insert it into your SwiftUI content in a UIViewRepresentable instead. This occurs both on device and in a simulator. Sample Project This sample ContentView includes two menu buttons—one in the bottom bar and one in the top bar. Dismissing the bottom bar menu causes a short delay before the button reappears, while the top bar menu behaves normally. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Tap and dismiss both menu buttons and note the difference.") .navigationTitle("BottomBar Menu Issue") .navigationSubtitle("Reproduces on iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)") .toolbar { // Control: top bar trailing menu animates back smoothly ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("More", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") .font(.title3) } } // Repro: delay before menu button reappears after menu dismissal ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Menu { Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) { } Button("Do Nothing") { } } label: { Label("Actions", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") .font(.title2) } } } } } } Passwords App This can also be seen in iOS 26.1 Seed 2 (23B5059e)'s Passwords app ("All" or "Passcodes" views):

Horrible weird Window Server killing bug
OS 26.s, Xcode 26.2 TLDR: My pure SwiftUI app freezes the window server, is this a known problem? My app is pure SwiftUI, no low level calls, no networking, no tricksy pointer use. Somehow, something in my code is terminally confusing the Window Server. As in, I run the app, and before I ever seen a window, the Window Server locks up, and is killed by the OS for being unresponsive. Using debugging shows that I get to the end of a Canvas, and it simply freezes upon exiting. I'm about to do the old comment out everything, and bring it back a bit at a time, but I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing this sort of thing? The reaction is so extreme. And it's not Xcode in particular, I built the program with xcodebuild, Xcode itself not running, and ran my app, and it did the same thing.

NavigationBar iOS 26
Hi all, When navigating between two screens where the first uses .inline and the second .large title display mode, the NavigationBar shows visible resizing glitches during the push animation. This is especially noticeable when using a custom background color (e.g. yellow) via UINavigationBarAppearance or .toolbarBackground(Color.yellow, for: .navigationBar). I’m already using the same appearance for standard, scrollEdge, and compact, with configureWithOpaqueBackground(), but the issue remains. Is this a known UIKit or SwiftUI issue? Any recommended workaround? Thanks.

List rows partially obscured by navigation bar briefly render fully opaque when switching tabs (iOS 26)
Overview In iOS 26, a List embedded in a NavigationStack inside a TabView exhibits a visual glitch when switching tabs. When the list is scrolled such that some rows are partially obscured by the navigation bar, the system correctly applies a fade/opacity effect to those rows. However, if the user switches to another tab while rows are in this partially obscured (faded) state, those rows briefly flash at full opacity during the tab transition before disappearing. This flash is visually distracting and appears to be inconsistent with the intended scroll-edge opacity behavior. The issue occurs only for rows partially obscured by the navigation bar. Rows partially obscured by the tab bar do not exhibit this flashing behavior. Steps to Reproduce: Run the attached minimal reproduction on iOS 26. Open the first tab. Scroll the list so that some rows are partially hidden behind the navigation bar (showing the native faded appearance). While rows are in this partially faded state, switch to the second tab. Observe that the faded rows briefly render fully opaque during the tab switch. Expected Behavior: Rows that are partially obscured by the navigation bar should maintain consistent opacity behavior during tab transitions, without flashing to full opacity. import SwiftUI @main struct NavBarReproApp: App { /// Minimal repro for iOS 26: /// - TabView with two tabs /// - First tab: NavigationStack + List /// - Scroll so some rows are partially behind the nav bar (faded) /// - Switch tabs: those partially-faded rows briefly flash fully opaque. Partially faded rows under the tab bar do not flash private let items = Array(0..<200).map { "Row \($0)" } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { TabView { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(items, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } } .navigationTitle("One") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .tabItem { Label("One", systemImage: "1.circle") } NavigationStack { Text("Second tab") .navigationTitle("Two") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .tabItem { Label("Two", systemImage: "2.circle") } } } } }

Any idea?

Button Style Glass Prominent Ignored on Menu When Used Inside ToolbarItem
When a Menu is placed inside a ToolbarItem, applying buttonStyle(.glassProminent) has no visible effect. The same modifier works correctly when a Button is used instead of a Menu inside the ToolbarItem. In that case, the button is rendered with the accent-colored background as expected. This suggests that Menu does not respect the .glassProminent button style when embedded in a ToolbarItem, even though other button types do. Code Example // Button with accent background color .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button(action: {}) .buttonStyle(.glassProminent) } } // Menu with internal button with no accent background color .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Menu(...) { ... }.buttonStyle(.glassProminent) } }

SwiftUI Performance vs identity
In SwiftUI, it is recommended not to store ViewBuilder closures in sub-views but instead evaluate them directly in init and store the result (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXAQTIKR8fk). That has the advantage, as I understand it, that the closure doesn't need to be re-evaluated on every layout pass. On the other side, identity is a very important topic in SwiftUI to get the UI working properly. Now I have this generic view I'm using with a closure which is displayed in two places (HStack & VStack). Should I store the closure result and get the performance improvements, or evaluate it in place and get correct identities (if that is even an issue)? Simplified example: struct DynamicStack<Content: View>: View { @ViewBuilder var content: () -> Content var body: some View { ViewThatFits(in: .horizontal) { HStack { content() } VStack { content() } } } } vs struct DynamicStack<Content: View>: View { @ViewBuilder var content: Content var body: some View { ViewThatFits(in: .horizontal) { HStack { content } VStack { content } } } }

SwiftUI subviews traverse issue
Our project include UIKIt and SwiftUI, and in some case, we need to traverse all subviews, for UIKit implement views, below code: func findView(byIdentifier identifier: String) -> UIView? { if self.accessibilityIdentifier == identifier { return self } for subview in subviews { if let found = subview.findView(byIdentifier: identifier) { return found } } return nil } works well, but for SwiftUI implement views, like below code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) .accessibilityIdentifier("Image") Text("Hello, world!") .accessibilityIdentifier("Text") } .padding() } } it can not find subviews in the ContentView, and only a view with type: _UIHostingView<ModifiedContent<AnyView, RootModifier>> can be found, the Image and Text is not found; And because we have set a accessibilityIdentifier property, so we also try use: @MainActor var accessibilityElements: [Any]? { get set } to find sub node, but this accessibilityElements is not stable, we can find the Image and Text node in iOS26.1 system: [AX] level=3 AccessibilityNode @ 0x000000010280fb10 id=Image [AX] level=3 AccessibilityNode @ 0x000000010161fbf0 id=Text but can not find it in iOS26.0 and below system. Any suggestion in how to find SwiftUI subviews? thank you

Help with trailing closure errors
I am new to swiftui and have a very small project I am working on to practice passing data between views. I have this error on a form "Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'FormStyleConfiguration' that does not accept a closure" If I comment the first section in the form then I get three errors in the ForEach. If anyone can help explain what is going on and what steps I could take to determine where the problem is coming from I would appreciate the help. This is the model I created: import Observation import SwiftUI @Model final class Client { var id = UUID() var name: String var location: String var selectedJob: Person init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String, location: String, selectedJob: Person) { self.id = id self.name = name self.location = location self.selectedJob = selectedJob } } extension Client { enum Person: String, CaseIterable, Codable { case homeOwner = "Home Owner" case contractor = "Contractor" case designer = "Designer" } } @Model class Enclosure { var id = UUID() var room: String = "" var unitType: String = "" init(id: UUID = UUID(), room: String, unitType: String) { self.id = id self.room = room self.unitType = unitType } } This is the detail view where the error is happening: import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @Query(sort: \Enclosure.room, order: .forward, animation: .default) private var enclosures: [Enclosure] @State private var showingAddEnclosure = false @State private var showingAddMirror = false @State private var name: String = "" @State private var location: String = "" @State private var selectedJob = Client.Person.homeOwner @State var clients: Client var body: some View { NavigationStack { Form { Section("Details") { TextField("Full Name", text: Client.$name) TextField("Location", text: Client.location) Picker("Job Type", selection: $selectedJob) { ForEach(Client.Person.allCases, id: \.self) { selected in Text(selected.rawValue).tag(selected) } } } Section("Enclosures") { List { ForEach($clients.enclosures) { enclosure in NavigationLink(destination: EnclosureDetailView()) { VStack { Text(enclosure.room) Text(enclosure.unitType) } } .swipeActions { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { modelContext.delete(enclosure) } } } } } } .navigationTitle("Project Details") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button { showingAddEnclosure.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Enclosure") } Button { showingAddMirror.toggle() } label: { Text("Add Mirror") } } label: { Label("Add", systemImage: "ellipsis.circle") } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddEnclosure) { EnclosureView() } .sheet(isPresented: $showingAddMirror) { EnclosureView() } } } }

how to custom DatePicker Label
I have a custom UI to display date (for user birthday) and want if the user presses each part of the label , the date selection is displayed, the current issue is , when I try to reduce the DatePicker opacity or set the colorMultipli to clear color, it still clickable on the date area, while my object is a fullWidth object, how can I fix it? This is the code: VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { Text("Birthday") .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundStyle(Color(uiColor: .label)) HStack(alignment: .center) { Text(userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday.getShortFormat(format: "dd MMM yyyy")) .font(.SFProText.font(type: .medium, size: 13)) .foregroundColor(Color(uiColor: .label)) .padding(.horizontal, 13) Spacer() } .frame(height: 44) .contentShape(Rectangle()) .overlay { HStack { DatePicker(selection: $userProfileAccountInfoviewModel.birthday, displayedComponents: .date) {} .labelsHidden() .colorMultiply(.clear) .background(Color.clear) .foregroundStyle(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .contentShape(Rectangle()) // .opacity(0.011) Spacer() } } .background(Color.baseBackgroundSecondary) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4)) }
