My app features two kinds of widgets, let's call them kind A and kind B. I have both A and B widgets on my Home Screen. When I tap the button on widget A (associated with App Intent), I expect widget B to also reload. However, if you call WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() inside the perform() method of the AppIntent, the timeline of widget B does not reload immediately. This issue only occurs on a physical device and is not consistently reproducible. On a simulator, however, widget B reloads as expected. FB13152293

Hello, I noticed a small mistake in the Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). On the page HIG > Components > System Experiences > Widget > watchOS Widget Dimensions, scroll down to the bottom. In the "watchOS widget dimensions" section, the sizes in the table are in pixels (px), not points (pt) actually. However, the table header indicates the sizes should be in points (pt). Page link: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/widgets#watchOS-widget-dimensions For example, the widget size in the Smart Stack on a 49mm watch should be 192x81.5 pt (or 382x163 px), not 382x163 pt. This size can be verified with the information provided here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchos-apps/supporting-multiple-watch-sizes/. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/wkinterfacedevice/1620974-screenscale

Hello everyone! I found that the Xcode Cloud workflows under my project are completely stuck. The tasks that are already running cannot be completed. Newly started tasks remain in the queued state forever and cannot be canceled. They are consuming my usage quota 😢. Has anyone else encountered the same issue?

Hello! I'm trying to donate an Intent to iOS using IntentDonationManager, following the methods described in the documentaion. try await IntentDonationManager.shared.donate(intent: MyIntent()) // succeeded However, I'm not seeing any effect of this action anywhere in the system (iOS 17 and 16). I have debugged it on both the simulator and a physical device, and I have also enabled the "Display Recent Shortcuts" toggle in the developer settings, but I still don't see any relevant suggestions appearing. Similarly, the issue also occurs with the old SiriKit framework, where INInteraction.donate(completion:) doesn't seem to have any observable effect. I recall that in iOS 15, the simulator would immediately present the donated Shortcut action on the lock screen and Spotlight page. However, starting from iOS 16 and continuing to the current iOS 17 beta 1/2, I haven't been able to achieve the same behavior using the same code. Another similar report: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723109 So is there any way to test or verify the results of this donation action?

Hello everyone! I've encountered an issue related to SwiftUI and StoreKit. Please take a look at the SwiftUI code snippet below: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { NavigationLink { Page1() } label: { Text("Go to Page 1") } } } } } struct Page1: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss @State private var string: String = "" var body: some View { List { NavigationLink { List { Page2(string: $string) .simpleValue(4) } } label: { Text("Tap this button will freeze the app") } } .navigationTitle("Page 1") } } struct Page2: View { @Binding var string: String? init(string: Binding<String>) { self._string = Binding(string) } var body: some View { Text("Page 2") } } extension EnvironmentValues { @Entry var simpleValue: Int = 3 } extension View { func simpleValue(_ value: Int) -> some View { self.environment(\.simpleValue, value) } } This view runs normally until the following symbol is referenced anywhere in the project: import StoreKit extension View { func notEvenUsed() -> some View { self.manageSubscriptionsSheet(isPresented: .constant(false)) } } It seems that once the project links the View.manageSubscriptionsSheet(isPresented:) method, regardless of whether it's actually used, it causes the above SwiftUI view to freeze. Steps to Reproduce: Clone the repository: https://github.com/gongzhang/StrangeFreeze Open it in Xcode 16 and run on iOS 17-18.1 Navigate to the second page and tap the button, causing the app to freeze. Remove manageSubscriptionsSheet(...), then everything will work fine

I just discovered that I can no longer download any artifacts from Xcode Cloud, whether from newly built workflows or previous ones. When I try to download in Xcode, it crashes immediately. When downloading from App Store Connect, it redirects to an HTML page with the following content. {"message":"You are not authorized to access this team’s resources."} I've already tried re-logging into my Apple account. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hello, I'm unable to run any test cases in Xcode 16 with the iOS 18 simulator. Steps to Reproduce: Create a new iOS project in Xcode 16 using the default iOS app template with the testing option checked. Run any test or UI test case by clicking the "Play" icon in the Test navigator. Xcode gets stuck at the "Testing" state indefinitely. Environment: macOS 15 beta 8 Xcode 16 beta 6 iOS 18 beta 7 simulator

Hello! The WidgetBundleBuilder always crash on iOS 17 if there is a #available(iOS 18.0, *) check in the WidgetBundle body. I remember there was a compiler bug (something related to type hoisting) in the past, but that was fixed. This time the bug seems to be in the implementation of the result build itself.

Hello, I noticed that SFSpeechRecognizer is broken on iOS 18. During a recognition task, it keeps dropping the recognized text on every pause. For example, if you say "how are you fine", it will drop the "how are you" part and only give you "fine" as the result. Say "how are you <pause> fine" // iOS 17 ✅ (perfect final result) How How are How are you How are you. How are you. Fine. // iOS 18 ❌ How How are How are you How are you Fine (the text before the pause is dropped, and fail to recognize the punctuations.) Reproducing the issue: Download the official sample project. Run it on an iOS 18 device or simulator. Say "how are you fine" Only "fine" will be displayed.

Hello, I'd like to ask a very fundamental question about JSONEncoder: how to sort keys in a specific order when encoding a dictionary to JSON text? I know there is an option called JSONEncoder.OutputFormatting.sortedKeys, but it sorts the keys only in lexicographic order. I want to sort the keys using a different comparator, such as String.localizedStandardCompare(_:), which achieves the "Finder-like" order. The reason why I ask this question is because I have a localization tool that works with String Catalog (xcstrings file, which is a JSON), but every time my tool serializes an xcstrings file, it always messes up the keys in lexicographic order (I used JSONEncoder + .sortedKeys). Meanwhile, Xcode 16 always serializes the string keys into the "Finder-like" order. As a result, my tool always generates a huge diff when manipulating the xcstrings even when making only a small modification to it. So I am wondering how Xcode 16 implements the String Catalog tool to serialize the JSON in "Finder-like" order. It would be great if JSONEncoder could do that too. Or, maybe I can use another serialization method to implement this behavior?

Hello, I found that if you apply the new .sidebarAdaptable tab view style, the accessibility identifiers of tab bar buttons are missing. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { TabView { Tab("Received", systemImage: "tray.and.arrow.down.fill") { Text("Received") } .accessibilityIdentifier("tab.received") // 👀 Tab("Sent", systemImage: "tray.and.arrow.up.fill") { Text("Sent") } .accessibilityIdentifier("tab.sent") // 👀 Tab("Account", systemImage: "person.crop.circle.fill") { Text("Account") } .accessibilityIdentifier("tab.account") // 👀 } .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) // 👈 if remove this, ax identifiers are ok } } #Preview { ContentView() } The identifiers automatically appear after a few seconds. But this behaviour breaks a lot of the UI test cases.

Hello, Just noticed an issue with the .safeAreaInset() and .safeAreaPadding() modifiers. On iOS 18 beta 8, I'm unable to scroll the list or any other scrollable views within the safe area. This behavior is different compared to iOS 17/16. For example, adding a floating button using the .safeAreaInset() modifier: On iOS 18, the list cannot be scrolled or interacted within the bottom circled area.

Hello, When an iOS app runs on Vision Pro in compatible mode, is there a flag such as isiOSAppOnVision to determine the underlying OS at runtime? Just like the ProcessInfo.isiOSAppOnMac. It will be useful to optimize the app for visionOS. Already checked but not useful: #if os(xrOS) does not work in compatible mode since no code is recompiled. UIDevice.userInterfaceIdiom returns .pad instead of .reality. Thanks.

Hello, I'm so glad that now you can scroll the list to top by tapping the tab bar ion on iOS 18. However, the current implementation on iOS 18 beta 8 has a little layout issue. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { TabView { Tab("Home", systemImage: "house") { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(0..<100) { i in Text("\(i)") } } .navigationTitle("Root") } } } } } #Preview { ContentView() } Tap the tab icon: Result:

Hello, I'm using the custom symbol feature in the official SF Symbols app. I'm wondering if there is a way to sync my custom symbols across different devices? Since I have multiple Macs to work on, maybe iCloud?
