I am currently struggling with resolving what appear to be competing design issues, and (while I may be just demonstrating my own ignorance) I would like to share my thoughts in the hope that you may have useful insights. For purposes of discussion, consider a large and complex data entry screen with multiple sections for input. For all of the usual reasons (such as reuse, performance management, etc) each of these sections is implemented as its own, separately-compiled View. The screen is, then, composed of a sequence of reusable components. However, each of these components has internal structure and may contain multiple focusable elements (and internal use of .onKeyPress(.tab) {...} to navigate internally). And the logic of each component is such that it has an internal @FocusState variable defined with its own unique type. So, obviously what I want is on the one hand, to provide a tab-based navigation scheme for the screen as a whole, where focus moves smoothly from one component's internals to the next c

Summary On iOS 26, the navigation bar unexpectedly switches to a Light appearance during/after a view transition while the device/app is in Dark Mode. This seems correlated with applying listStyle(.plain) to a List. Removing .plain prevents the issue, but my app’s layout requires it. Sample code: import SwiftUI @main struct iOS26NavigationTitleSampleApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { NavigationStack { ContentView() .navigationTitle(Root) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { NavigationLink { ListView() } label: { VStack { Image(systemName: globe) .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text(Hello, world!) } } } .padding() .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .navigation) { Button(Test) { } Button(Test2) { } } } } } struct ListView: View { var items: [Int] = Array(0..<100) var body: some View { List { ForEach(items.indices, id: .self) { idx in cell(items[idx]) } } .listStyle(.plain) .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(pl

When Home tab opened, there is some white shadow on the bottom and the top sides of the list. But when switching to other tab or return to Home tab this shadow disappearing for a second and appearing again. Actual for iOS 26.0.1 on simulator and on real device. Below is short example code that can reproduce issue. When change let pages = UIPageViewController(transitionStyle: .scroll, navigationOrientation: .horizontal) to let pages = UIPageViewController(transitionStyle: .pageCurl, navigationOrientation: .horizontal) issue is not reproduced. import SwiftUI @main struct GlassTestApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .ignoresSafeArea() } } } struct MainView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> UITabBarController { let controller = UITabBarController() let home = Home() home.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: Home, image: UIImage(systemName: house), tag: 1) let settings = UIHostingController(rootView: Settings()) settings.tabBarItem = UITa

I want a different color, one from my asset catalog, as the background of my first ever swift UI view (and, well, swift, the rest of the app is still obj.c) I've tried putting the color everywhere, but it does't take. I tried with just .red, too to make sure it wasn't me. Does anyone know where I can put a color call that will actually run? Black looks very out of place in my happy app. I spent a lot of time making a custom dark palette. TIA KT @State private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var showAddSheet = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color.myCuteBg .ignoresSafeArea(.all) NavigationStack { content .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) { Image(cute.image) .font(.system(size: 30)) .foregroundColor(.beigeTitle) } } } .background(Color.myCuteBg) .presentationBackground(.myCuteBg) .sheet(isPresented: $showAddSheet) { AddView() } .environment(viewModel) .onAppear { viewModel.fetchStuff() } } .tint(.cuteColor) } @ViewBuilder var content: some View

Hello, creating a simple-as-it-gets Slider in SwiftUI and then running that app on Mac Catalyst with the macOS idiom enabled, the app crashes: struct ContentView: View { @State private var sliderValue: Double = 0.4 var body: some View { VStack { Slider(value: $sliderValue) } .padding() } } running this will result in an exception: _setMinimumEnabledValue: is not supported on UISlider when running Catalyst apps in the Mac idiom. See UIBehavioralStyle for possible alternatives. This is obviously not ideal and also apparently no documented. Is there a workaround for this? It used to work for on macOS Sonoma. macOS 26 RC Xcode 26 RC FB20191635 Thanks!

My implementation of LockedCameraCapture does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully. Standard Xcode target template: Lock_Screen_Capture.swift @main struct Lock_Screen_Capture: LockedCameraCaptureExtension { var body: some LockedCameraCaptureExtensionScene { LockedCameraCaptureUIScene { session in Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder(session: session) } } } Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder.swift: import SwiftUI import UIKit import UniformTypeIdentifiers import LockedCameraCapture struct Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let session: LockedCameraCaptureSession var sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType = .camera init(session: LockedCameraCaptureSession) { self.session = session } func makeUIViewController(context: Self.Context) -> UIImagePickerController { let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController() imagePicker.sourceType = sourceType imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UTType.image.iden

When building with the iOS 26 SDK (currently beta 4), the navigation title is often illegible when rendering a Map view. For example, note how the title Choose Location is obscured by the map's text (South America) in the screenshot below: This screenshot is the result of the following view code: import MapKit import SwiftUI struct Demo: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Map() .navigationTitle(Text(Choose Location)) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } I tried using the scrollEdgeEffectStyle(_:for:) modifier to apply a scroll edge effect to the top of the screen, in hopes of making the title legible, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Specifically, the following code seems to produce the exact same result shown in the screenshot above. import MapKit import SwiftUI struct Demo: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Map() .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.hard, for: .top) // ⬅️ no apparent effect .navigationTitle(Text(Choose Location)) .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode

Hi everyone, I’m testing my Catalyst SwiftUI project on iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 / macOS 26. I started with a NavigationSplitView (triple-column) inside a WindowGroup. On iPad it looks great: the toolbar items merge into the navigation bar, with the three traffic lights. But on Mac Catalyst, the app always reserves a blank safe area below the traffic lights, and places the toolbar on a separate line beneath the title bar. That leaves wasted vertical space I don’t want. What I expect (based on Apple’s WWDC session “Elevate the design of your iPad app”): The toolbar should merge into the title bar with the traffic lights, no separate row. Content should extend into the full height of the window. What I get on Mac Catalyst: Title bar + traffic lights at the top. Then a completely separate toolbar row below it. Safe area inset prevents my content from reaching the top of the window. What I’ve tried: .toolbarRole(.automatic), .editor, .browser → no effect. Hiding the title bar via titlebar?.titleVisibility = .h

Hi, I get a weird deadlock in my swiftUI based application where com.apple.libtrace.state.block-list is waiting on com.apple.main-thread any idea what can lead to this deadlock ? also, what is com.apple.libtrace.state.block-list used for ? When deadlock occurs, the main thread it stucks on publishing property change that triggers callback function. for example : # definition @Published var event: eventType = .evtTypeWhatever ... # setting that may linked to the deadlock : self.handler.event = eventType.evtSomething; # callback definition .onReceive(cbhandler.$event, perform: eventReceived) # implementation : private func eventReceived(_ type:eventType) { switch type { case .evtSomething: # do something Here's the relevant callstack. We can see that It even didn’t get to the callback. The deadlock is probably in publishing mechanism itself 2480 Thread_87233850 DispatchQueue_1: com.apple.main-thread (serial) + 2480 start (in dyld) + 6076 [0x197c92b98] + 2480 __debug_main_executable_dylib_entry_point (i

Hey everyone. I have a macOS app written in SwiftUI. I have multiple SwiftUI Scenes and Views, but needed to write one specific window in AppKit (an NSPanel, to be specific). The problem I'm facing is- I'm not sure how to incorporate this NSPanel with the rest of my SwiftUI/Observable code. I'm relying on the SwiftUI app cycle. For example, I have a boolean in my view model (observation tracked). I'd like to use this boolean to hide/unhide my NSPanel. Any way to cleanly hook into the viewmodel, or onto some specific observable variables would be very very helpful. Thank you everyone.
