I see in iPhone built-in apps that action sheets are presented as popovers without arrows over their originating views. Here is an example in Messages and Shortcuts apps. In WWDC 2025 session Build a UIKit app with the new design, the speaker explains that all you have to do is to configurate the popover like we do for iPad. Here is the relevant transcript: 14:33 ActionSheets on iPad are anchored to their source views. Starting in iOS 26, they behave the same on iPhone, appearing directly over the originating view. 14:46 On the alertController, make sure to set the sourceItem or the sourceView on popoverPresentationController, regardless of which device it’s displayed on. Assigning the source view automatically applies the new transitions to action sheets as well! Action sheets presented inline don’t have a cancel button because the cancel action is implicit by tapping anywhere else. If you don’t specify a source, the action sheet will be centered, and you will have a cancel button. iOS 26 provides a new, mor

Few of my iOS app’s universal binary exceeds 200MB, while individual device-specific binaries remain under 200MB. I understand Apple recommends keeping app binaries below 200MB to allow downloads over mobile networks. I want to confirm whether the size of the universal binary impacts the ability of users to download or update the app (App Store build) over cellular networks, or if only the device-specific slice size is considered?

We are facing an issue with Platform SSO registration on macOS devices for AD-bound user accounts with Microsoft EntraID configuration. We are using the Platform SSO payload on macOS devices integrated with Entra ID, and it works as expected — registration completes successfully, and the password syncs with the Entra ID password. However, when we try the same on macOS devices with AD-bound (mobile) user accounts, the registration does not complete. To elaborate, the process successfully completes the initial WebView authentication but fails at the stage where Apple prompts for the password to sync the local macOS user’s password with the Entra ID password. It does not display any error, and even after entering a valid password, the process does not proceed further. However, when we try the same on a non-AD user account, it works fine. We have checked with Microsoft, and they confirmed that there are no restrictions on their side for AD-bound accounts. Since the issue appears to occur at the Apple

I'm facing a build failure after migrating my project to Xcode 26. The issue appears to be related to the redefinition of some core system types. The compiler errors point to a failure to locate the original type definitions, suggesting they've been moved or renamed. Specifically, the build log contains these errors: ../arm64-apple-ios.private.swiftinterface:653:11: Cannot find type '_sys_select' in scope ../arm64-apple-ios.private.swiftinterface:130:33: Cannot find type 'netinet_in' in scope I've observed that the types are being mapped as follows: netinet_in.in_addr_t -> _DarwinFoundation2.in_addr_t _sys_select.fd_set -> _DarwinFoundation2.fd_set I'm looking for guidance on the recommended way to resolve these API changes. How should I handle these type redefinitions in Xcode 26 to ensure my project builds correctly? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, Since updating to Xcode 26, I’ve been running into an issue with the new ChatGPT integration inside Xcode. Even though I have an active ChatGPT Plus subscription (GPT-4 or GPT-5) and I’m signed in to my OpenAI account, Xcode doesn’t seem to recognize my paid plan. After reaching the free usage limit, I get the following message: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account or upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.” The issue is that I am already logged in with my ChatGPT Plus account, and everything works fine on the ChatGPT web app — but inside Xcode, it keeps treating me as a free user. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • Signing out and back into ChatGPT from within Xcode • Restarting Xcode and macOS • Verifying that I’m logged in to ChatGPT in Safari • Updating both macOS and Xcode to the latest versions None of these steps have resolved the issue. It seems like Xcode isn’t syncing properly with OpenAI authentication, and th

Hi all, May I please ask for an official clarification or documentation reference from Apple regarding this scenario: Is it possible for an iOS app to automatically launch or open a specific screen when a push notification is received — while the app is in the background or terminated (killed) state? I understand that for most cases, user interaction (such as tapping the notification) is required before the app can show UI. However, I’d like to confirm whether this is also true for time-sensitive or critical alert notifications, including emergency use cases (e.g. public safety alerts). Specifically: Can a critical alert notification directly launch the app or present a view controller? Or is user interaction always required before the app can present any UI, even with the critical alert entitlement? I would appreciate if anyone — especially Apple staff or engineers — could share an official Apple document or statement that confirms this behavior. Thank you very much! (Use case cont

When I use the method provided in the document https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpasslibrary/activate(_:activationdata:completion:)?changes=_1__4,_1__4 to verify a card that has been added to Apple Wallet, I get an error code: 500 unknown error How can I troubleshoot the problem?

I have a UINavigation controller which on the second viewController has a Google Map view. In iOS 18 you would navigate normally around the map, and swipe your finger from the left side of the screen to move the map, this worked correctly. However, in iOS 26 swiping from left to right from anywhere but the far right side of the screen will cause the UI to try to pop the viewController. This does not happen when I add Apple Maps or other map frameworks to the VC. Is there a way to disable the swipe from middle in iOS 26?

Greetings! QUESTION: Is there any way to request expedited review of an in-app purchase? BACKGROUND: App Review approved our app yesterday, and I released it from the Connect app on iOS while on the go. Only when at home later logged into App Store Connect from the browser, did I realize that our In-App Purchases were still In Review. ISSUE: Users get the no products found error on our paywall, based on the fact the IAPs are not yet approved!
