Reply to Tahoe Launchpad
The removal of Launchpad from macOS has cost me a huge amount of wasted time. It is quite baffling why Apple's engineering team thought this was necessary. There is no scenario in which Apple's few predefined categories could possibly ever address the long tail of real world application categories and user workflows. This is a point I make in depth below. Also, I am now encountering a bug preventing me from searching for apps by name, even if I could remember the name of my 250+ native and web apps, so I have no other choice but to scroll through over 250 icons to find the app I'm looking for. I honestly do not understand what the rationale was for this change by Apple. Vital functionality that I relied on with minute-to-minute frequency was replaced with a fundamentally broken one that costs me minutes where it previously took seconds to find apps. In fact it should be obvious that predefined app categories could not possibly address real world use cases and and that forcing users into them would break more

iPadOS 26 Floating Keyboard jumping up and down
Using the floating keyboard extensively. Often It starts to jump up and down. I have to pinch out to see the large version and pinch in again to restore the floating version. Sometimes just touching a key sets it off. Sometimes returning to a window from which the keyboard is displayed starts the issue. This was never a problem in ipad os 18.

Question about SpeechTranscriber availability on specific iPad models
Hello, I am a developer planning to build an application using Apple's new SpeechTranscriber technology. I am facing an issue where SpeechTranscriber is not available on my iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd generation, model number: MXDC2J/A), even though I have updated it to iPadOS 26. I was under the impression that SpeechTranscriber would be available on any device running iPadOS 26. Could you please clarify if this is incorrect? Furthermore, I am planning to purchase a new iPad with an A16 chip for the development and deployment of this application. Can you confirm if SpeechTranscriber will be fully functional on an iPad equipped with the A16 chip? Thank you for your assistance.

Request: Restore Launchpad Functionality or Allow Customizable App Organization in macOS Tahoe
With macOS Tahoe, Launchpad has been replaced by an App Library–style mode within Spotlight. While the alleged intention is UX consistency across the Apple ecosystem, the result is both a catastrophic usability regression and a radical break in consistency with iOS and iPadOS. Predefined App Library categorization is functionally incoherent: On iOS and now macOS, Apple’s predefined App Library categories place apps with seemingly identical functionality into unrelated groups—for example, 3D scanning tools scattered across Education, Utilities, and Productivity. Instead of making apps easier to find, this effectively creates a labyrinth that users must traverse to locate apps whose names and icons they may not recall. However Apple defines its app categories, they are not only inconsistent but also hopelessly inadequate for the long tail of real-world applications and user workflows. Loss of user control: Launchpad enabled users to group and organize applications according to their workflows. This ali

Game Center breaks "Kids games" Rules on iPadOS 26
I have several games on the app store which are setup as For Kids which means these games cannot have any way to access the outside world including the App Store. No problem. These games have worked fine for years until iOS 26. Now, all my updates are being rejected because the new version of Game Center running on iPadOS 26 has a way for people to exit the game and go to the App Store. I have no control over this since it's built into Game Center, and the app review folks want me to put a parental gate on it, but there's no way to do that because... well... it's in Game Center, not my code. So, I'm unable to update my apps because of this. Presumably, the existing versions on the app store still do this exact same thing, so my update isn't going to make any difference. Does anyone know of a way to make that crap at the top go away so this isn't an issue?

iPadOS 26: System window controls overlap UINavigationBar buttons in resizable windows (UIKit + Storyboards)
Hello, I’m seeing a layout issue where the system window controls overlap the navigation bar’s right-side buttons when the app window is resized on iPadOS 26. Environment Xcode: 16.4 Simulator: iPadOS 26.0, device profile iPad Pro 13-inch Physical device: iPad updated to iPadOS 26 (same behavior) UI stack: UIKit + Storyboards (no SwiftUI) App structure: Root UINavigationController Summary Since iPadOS 26 introduced freely resizable app windows, the system’s window management controls (close/minimize/resize at the top-right) begin to overlap the navigation bar buttons as the window size becomes smaller. At maximum window size there’s no issue. Additionally, the navigation bar buttons themselves appear to scale down visually when the window gets smaller. Steps to Reproduce Build with Xcode 16.4 and run on iPadOS 26.0 (simulator or device). Open a screen embedded in a UINavigationController with right-side bar button items. Resize the app window to a smaller size. Obs

Reply to SwiftUI Slider onEditingChanged is unreliable on iOS 26
Hi Albert, Thank you very much for your quick answer. I was running Xcode 26 RC1 but I just updated to the final release (17A324). My iPhone 14 Pro is running iOS 26 final (23A341) and I can also reproduce the issue on another iPad Pro device running iPadOS 26 final as well. I updated my bug report with a video that shows that, in my case, I usually obtain: --> isEditing: true --> isEditing: false --> isEditing: true when dragging the slider knob once (the two last events being received when releasing the knob). Thanks again for your help. Best regards.

Reply to Change to safe area logic on iOS 26
I filed an Apple Feedback report (FB20281983) regarding the failure of the safe area insets to immediately update on hiding or showing of the status bar on iPadOS 26. In my case this causes a toolbar whose top anchor is constrained to the view safe area layout guide top anchor to merge into the status bar area so they overlap in some use cases. Rotating the device resolves it. This doesn't happen on iPadOS 18.5.

Network Extension Provider Packaging
This is a topic that’s come up a few times on the forums, so I thought I’d write up a summary of the issues I’m aware of. If you have questions or comments, start a new thread in the App & System Services > Networking subtopic and tag it with Network Extension. That way I’ll be sure to see it go by. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = eskimo + 1 + @ + apple.com Network Extension Provider Packaging There are two ways to package a network extension provider: App extension ( appex ) System extension ( sysex ) Different provider types support different packaging on different platforms. See TN3134 Network Extension provider deployment for the details. Some providers, most notably packet tunnel providers on macOS, support both appex and sysex packaging. Sysex packaging has a number of advantages: It supports direct distribution, using Developer ID signing. It better matches the networking stack on macOS. An appex is tied to the logged in user, whereas a s

Reply to Wifi Aware iOS devices authentication fails after a period of time
If you can reproduce the problem with our sample code then the path forward here is clear: File a bug against Wi-Fi Aware explaining how to reproduce the issue with our sample. When you file a bug you’ll be asked to include a sysdiagnose log. Trigger that log immediately after seeing the problem. And our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page has a Wi-Fi for iOS/iPadOS entry that explains how to enable additional Wi-Fi specific logging. Please post your bug number, just for the record.

How to disable tab editing in a UITabBarController sidebar?
I’m creating a UITabBarController with a simple array of UITab instances. I’m setting the mode to .tabSideBar. How do I prevent editing? I don’t want the Edit button to appear at all. I’ve tried setting the tab controller’s customizableViewControllers property to both nil and an empty array but neither is preventing the Edit button from appearing. I scanned the various delegates and I don‘t see any relevant methods. So far I’ve tested this on a simulated iPad running iPadOS 26 using Xcode 26 RC.

Nested NavigationSplitView has unexpected layout shift inside a TabView
I have initialized a new SwiftUI project for iOS. I wrapped the default NavigationSplitView from SwiftData inside a TabView and ran into the following issue: On an iPad (Air, 13 inch, iPadOs 26), the button to open/close the sidebar shifts downwards while opening or closing the sidebar. When the animation finishes, the button jumps back to the original position. Here's the code I used inside my ContentView: var body: some View { TabView { Tab(Kategorien, systemImage: circle.fill) { NavigationSplitView { List { ForEach(items) { item in NavigationLink { Text(Item at (item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard))) } label: { Text(item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard)) } } .onDelete(perform: deleteItems) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { EditButton() } ToolbarItem { Button(action: addItem) { Label(Add Item, systemImage: plus) } } } } detail: { Text(Select an item) } } Tab(Alle Bücher, systemImage: circle.fill) {
