There is a serious usability issue with PHPickerViewController in a UIKit app running on macOS 26 via Mac Catalyst when the Mac Catalyst interface is set to “Scaled to Match iPad”. Mouse click and other pointer interactions do not take place in the correct position. This means you have to click in the wrong position to select a photo and to close the picker. This basically makes it unusable. To demonstrate, use Xcode 26 on macOS 26 to create a new iOS app project based on Swift/Storyboard. Then update ViewController.swift with the following code: import UIKit import PhotosUI class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() var cfg = UIButton.Configuration.plain() cfg.title = Photo Picker let button = UIButton(configuration: cfg, primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in self.showPicker() })) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.cent

We are creating a Replicated FileProvider based application, where we want to handle different types of errors. As per doc: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider/synchronizing-files-using-file-provider-extensions?language=objc#Handle-errors-elegantly NSFileProviderErrorNotAuthenticated is a resolvable error, and once we report it, the system throttles the sync operation until something (most likely the app or extension) calls signalErrorResolved(:completionHandler:) to signal that the user or the server resolves the error. But this is not happening in our app, see below the sample code snippet (showing just error related code to keep it concise): NSProgress* MacFileProvider::modifyItem(....) { NSProgress *nsProgress = [[NSProgress alloc] init]; nsProgress.totalUnitCount = NSURLSessionTransferSizeUnknown; NSError *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:NSFileProviderErrorDomain code:NSFileProviderErrorNotAuthenticated userInfo:nil]; completionHandler(nil, 0, false, error); return n

I am having a rare crash when calling FileHandle(forWritingTo:) initializer with a file that does not exist. In the documentation, I see that the expected behaviour is to return nil, but in my app, in rare cases I have a Crash. My code that causes the crash is if let handle = try? FileHandle(forWritingTo: logFile) { Is it a known behaviour ? should I test if the file exist before calling FileHandle(forWritingTo:) ? Shareable_2025-09-01_05-32-28.3051.crash

I have an AppleTV app which I released in 2016. I've updated it and released a new version every year without much hassle. This year, with tvOS 17.2, the layered app icon isn't working right. This is a two-layer image made with PNGs. When it's selected, it looks right and the layers move correctly: But when it's not selected, the background layer disappears: Screenshots are from the simulator but it also happens on the device. It's inconsistent; sometimes it's the front layer that disappears. Occasionally both layers work, but I can't tell why. I've spent a day trying everything. Very frustrated. The icon previews correctly in Xcode and in Parallax Viewer. The image sizes are correct: 400 x 240 for Small, 800 x 480 for Small@2x, 1280 x 768 for Large. The back layer is a non-transparent PNG. I tried adding a Large@2x set. Didn't help. Originally I had a three-layer image with no middle layer PNG. I deleted the empty middle layer, but that didn't help. All the PNG files are from GnuIMP. Same color spac

I am constantly running out of storage on my iPhone 16 Pro. I keep having to move my photos and videos to my laptop and delete them from my phone, and I’m constantly needing to offload apps and manually clear caches in some apps to free up storage. I finally got sick of having this cycle every two weeks so looked into it more closely. I’m finding that iOS consumes 32 GB, and then another system reserve category is consuming an additional 23 GB. Meaning the system reserved files are consuming half of the storage on this phone and effectively making it a 64 GB model. I understand the system will need to consume some capacity for itself and that iOS is getting larger, but nearly 50% of the capacity of the phone is insane. Looking closer into the categories, I’m seeing that iOS has taken it upon itself to also permanently provision 10% of the storage capacity for reserve update space. Already another instance of “why am I having to lose so much of my functional capacity to an occasional process?” but I c

Under iPadsOS 26.0 and 26.1, if a view controller is presented with a presentation style of fullScreen or pageSheet, and the view controller is setup with a UISearchController that has obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation set to true, then when cancelling the search the view controller is being dismissed when it should not be. To replicate, create a new iOS project based on Swift/Storyboard using Xcode 26.0 or Xcode 26.1. Update ViewController.swift with the following code: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground title = Root navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [ UIBarButtonItem(title: Full, primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .fullScreen) })), UIBarButtonItem(title: Page, primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .pageSheet) })), UIBarButtonItem(title: Form, primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .formSheet) })), ] } private func showModal(with sty

Hi all, Sharing a reproducible UIKit issue I’m seeing across multiple iPadOS 26 betas, with a tiny sample attached and a short video. Short video https://youtu.be/QekYNnHsfYk Tiny project https://github.com/yoasha/ListSwipeOvershootReproSwift Summary In a UISplitViewController (.doubleColumn), a UICollectionView using list layout shows a large leading-swipe overshoot when the split view is expanded (isCollapsed == false). The cell content translates roughly 3–4× the action width. Repros with appearance = .plain and .grouped Does not repro with .insetGrouped Independent of trailing provider (issue persists when trailing provider is nil) Collapsed split (compact width) behaves correctly Environment Devices: iPad Air (3rd gen), iPadOS 26.0 (23A5326a) → Repro Simulators: iPad Pro 11-inch (M4), iPadOS 26.0 beta 6 → Repro Also tested on device: iPadOS 26 beta 5, 6, 7, 8 Xcode: 26.0 beta 6 (17A5305f) Steps to reproduce Launch the sample; ensure the split is expanded (isCollapsed == false). In the secondary list, set

I am trying to run the simple demo app from xcode on my Apple Watch SE 1st gen, which has WatchOS 10.6 This turned out to be an impossible mission. I have xcode 16.1 installed, can't downgrade to 15.4 (which is the latest that supports this os) since it won't run on my OS (Sequoia), using parallels I installed Sonoma and xcode 15.4 but it won't recognize my iphone or my watch. Asking ChatGPT it seems that it is possible to use the DeviceSupport watchOS 10.6 image if I get it from someone, but loading it up the right way on my machine turned out to be impossible. Any recommendations / help / link to this file where I can download it?
