SwiftUI List performance

Here’s a recap of the Live Q&A for SwiftUI foundations: Build great apps with SwiftUI. If you participated and asked questions, thank you for coming and participating! If you weren’t able to join us live we hope this recap is useful Where can I watch the VOD? Is the sample code “Wishlist” that was shown available for download? You can view the replay of the entire event here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3vloOtZLkQ The sample code for the Wishlist app will be made available in the coming weeks on the Apple Developer website, we'll send an update via email when it is available. What are the best practices when it comes to building complex navigations in SwiftUI? The developer website has documentation on navigation style best practices. Explore navigation basics like NavigationStack and TabView to get a ground-up understanding. For documentation on navigation APIs see Navigation. How can I integrate UIKit with my SwiftUI app? What about adding SwiftUI into my

I am observing inconsistent pointer hover behavior for a SwiftUI Menu placed inside a ToolbarItem on iPadOS 26.2 (real device). Scenario: • Screen A is pushed inside a NavigationStack. • Screen B is presented as a sheet (with its own NavigationStack). • Both screens contain the same toolbar Menu item using an SF Symbol (arrow.up.arrow.down). Observed behavior: In the pushed view, hover is mostly stable. In the sheet-presented view, the SF Symbol visibly shifts/jumps when pointer hover activates. The hover highlight shape differs from the native navigation back button. Label-level hoverEffect modifiers do not stabilize the behavior. Minimal example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var showSheet = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Button(Open Sheet) { showSheet = true } } .navigationTitle(Home) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button(Option A) { } Button(Option B) { } } label: { Image(systemName: arrow.up.arrow.down) } }

Environment: Device: MacBook Pro (Mac16,7) Chip: M4 Pro (SoC ID 6040, Revision 11) OS: macOS 15.2 (24C101) Kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 24.2.0; root:xnu-11215.61.5~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T6041 Summary: I am developing a Windows emulator on the MacBook Pro M4 Pro platform. During testing with certain applications, the system frequently triggers an instantaneous reboot. This issue appears to be highly specific to the M4 Pro hardware and current OS version. Observation & Diagnostic Challenges: Upon reboot, the system generates a bug_type 210 (SoC Watchdog Reset) report. The panic string indicates: Unexpected SoC (system) watchdog reset occurred after panic diagnostics were completed. The primary difficulty in debugging is that the hardware reset happens so rapidly that the kernel fails to capture a stackshot or any detailed panic trace. We have practically no actionable information from the standard diagnostic reports. However, we did find the following recurring entries in the system log prior to the resets: Igno

I am reporting a regression/behavioral change in the SwiftUI layout engine when building with Xcode 26 (iOS 26 SDK). In previous versions (Xcode 15/16 and iOS 17/18 SDKs), a TabView using .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) correctly respected the coordinate space when combined with .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical). However, when compiling with the iOS 26 SDK, the internal views of the TabView render out of bounds, pushing content vertically beyond the intended safe area boundaries and causing UI overlapping/clipping - an abnormal behavior. TabView(selection: $selectedIndex) { ForEach(0..

TabView inside NavigationStack is abnormal when using Xcode 26. The y deviation is about 14. But it is right when using Xcode 16.4. It is also right without NavigationStack. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { private enum Tab: Hashable, CaseIterable { case a case b } @State private var currentTab: Tab = .a @State private var path: NavigationPath = NavigationPath() var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $path) { TabView(selection: $currentTab) { ForEach(Tab.allCases, id: .self) { tab in switch tab { case .a: Color.blue // .offset(y: -14) case .b: Color.yellow } } } .tabViewStyle(.page(indexDisplayMode: .never)) .ignoresSafeArea(.all) } } }

We received many great questions from the community during Code-along: Experiment with coding intelligence in Xcode 26. Here are the highlights from the questions submitted by the audience during the event. What models does coding intelligence features support In Xcode? Xcode integrates directly with ChatGPT and Claude user accounts. You can also configure Xcode to integrate any model provider that supports the Chat Completions API, such as models that you access with an API key. You can also download and run a local model on a Mac with Apple silicon. Setting up coding intelligence provides all of the information you need to get started with Xcode’s direct integration with ChatGPT and Claude, as well as how to set up Xcode to access other providers. Does Coding Intelligence have access to Apple API and developer documentation? How does it stay up to date with the latest SwiftUI API? Coding agents are great because they talk to a model, generate code and fix errors, but they also have access to tools,

Apple's iCloud File Management documentation says to avoid special punctuation or other special characters in filenames, but doesn't specify which characters. I need a definitive list to implement filename sanitization in my shipping app. Confirmed issues Our iOS app (CyberTuner, App Store, 15 years shipping on App Store) manages .rcta files in the iCloud ubiquity container via NSFileManager APIs. We've confirmed two characters causing sync failures: Ampersand (&): A file named Yamaha CP70 & CP80.rcta caused repeated couldn't be backed up dialogs. ~12 users reported this independently. Replacing & resolved it immediately. No other files in the same directory were affected. Percent (%): A file with % in the filename was duplicated by iCloud sync (e.g., filename% 1.rcta, filename% 2.rcta), and the original was lost. Currently reproducing across multiple devices. Both characters have special meaning in URL encoding (% is the escape character, & is the query parameter separator), which su
