iPadOS 17.7.7

On macOS 26 I can see the dividers when I open my Help menu: However, on iPadOS 26 the dividers don't appear: I am simply using Divider() to separate my menu bar items in my CommandGroup. iPadOS does support dividers as I can see them for the system generated Edit menu but for some reason it's not working here. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong with the iPadOS implementation?

Does Xcode 16 beta 4 include the SDK for iPadOS 18.1 beta, or should I stick with iPadOS 18.0 beta 4/18.0 betas? I want to make sure that I can continue building to my device if I update it to 18.1 beta.

I updated Xcode to Xcode 13 and iPadOS to 15.0. Now my previously working application using SFSpeechRecognizer fails to start, regardless of whether I'm using on device mode or not. I use the delegate approach, and it looks like although the plist is set-up correctly (the authorization is successful and I get the orange circle indicating the microphone is on), the delegate method speechRecognitionTask(_:didFinishSuccessfully:) always returns false, but there is no particular error message to go along with this. I also downloaded the official example from Apple's documentation pages: SpokenWord SFSpeechRecognition example project page Unfortunately, it also does not work anymore. I'm working on a time-sensitive project and don't know where to go from here. How can we troubleshoot this? If it's an issue with Apple's API update or something has changed in the initial setup, I really need to know as soon as possible. Thanks.

The following code opens the app settings, including preferred language. func openSettings() { guard let settingsUrl = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) else { return } if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(settingsUrl) { UIApplication.shared.open(settingsUrl, completionHandler: nil) } } That works well in iOS (14.6 or 15.2), on iPadOS 14.4 ( both device and simulator) But on iPadOS 15.2 simulator, the preferred language setting for the app does not show. I noticed this in 2 different apps.

Hi what kit I should use to install a font system wide in iOS & iPadOS ! Anybody have an idea how ? Adobe Creative App have such feature. Kindest Regards

The iPadOS 18 upgrade has broken QR code reading!!!! After upgrading to iPadOS version 18, it is not possible to read QR codes with the Camera App on certain iPad models. It also impacts Apps that attempt to read QR codes through APIs. [One partial workaround is to use Code Scan in Control Center, which does work. But that doesn't help Apps that include QR code reading.] It definitely impacts 7th generation iPads, and seems to partially impact 8th generation iPads. I don't know which other model iPads are impacted. Apple introduced exactly the same bug in iPadOS 17.4 and fixed it in iPadOS 17.4.1. Apple, PLEASE release an iPadOS 18.X fix for this ASAP. This is a SERIOUS bug.

The new update won’t let me swipe away the control center or my 1st most recent app. Is this happening to anyone else on there iPads?

I launched Amazon Prime and bricked my IPad all reset options have failed, any one have some thought?

The following code is shown on apples documentation page for SwiftUI MagnificationGesture: struct MagnificationGestureView: View { @GestureState var magnifyBy = CGFloat(1.0) var magnification: some Gesture { MagnificationGesture() .updating($magnifyBy) { currentState, gestureState, transaction in gestureState = currentState } } var body: some View { Circle() .frame(width: 100 * magnifyBy, height: 100 * magnifyBy, alignment: .center) .gesture(magnification) } } Try it (on device) in the Swift Playgrounds App by prepending import SwiftUI import PlaygroundSupport PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(MagnificationGestureView()) or as a compiled app using the app template in Xcode and try to scale the circle to different sizes in succession. On iPadOS 14 everything works as expected, but since iPadOS 15 Beta 2 it hangs after a few movements of the fingers. Does it work for you? What am I doing wrong? I already filed feedback, but the problem re

For some time now Apple has been referring to iPadOS (eg in https://developer.apple.com/download/ ), but there is no compiler directive in Xcode to check for iPadOS - even though Xcode now has supported destinations for iPhone, iPad and Mac (catalyst). I have a couple of use cases where I'd really prefer to include/exclude large chunks of code (frameworks) based on whether the device is an iPad or an iPhone, not just because of the different user-interface characteristics - which can be accommodated using the UIUserInterfaceIdiom.

For many years, I programmed for Windows desktops (Visual Basic and C# on Microsoft Visual Studio). What is a good way to start progrmming for an iOS or iPadOS device. What programming apps can you recommend and what books or courses can I get (online or otherwise) to start with? Can I make code with Microsoft Visual Studio or do I need specific programming tools for writing code? Thank you for your help. Michel

Creating playlists on iPadOS 16.1 isn't working for me. The code: let playlist = try await MusicLibrary.shared.createPlaylist(name: caption, description: description, authorDisplayName: curator, items: items) is throwing the error Attempting to retrieve handler for an unsupported configuration. The full error is: The same code is working fine on an iPhone running iOS 16.0. Does anyone know how to get this working?

After updating iPadOS14.5, the input type = date tag of the html file is now displayed as Apr 27. 2021 in the iOS app. Until now, it was displayed as 2021/04/27. The date input calendar displayed when tapping the input area is still displayed in Japanese. How can I display in the format of 2021/04/27 on iPadOS 14.5? I also searched for formatting options, but couldn't find them.

For some reason I can't get hardware keyboard shortcuts to work in iPadOS 15 (beta 5). They work for most keys, but not for arrow keys and tab key. The same code seems to work well when compiled in Xcode 13 (beta 4) and run on iPadOS 14.5 simulator, but then refuses to work when built with same Xcode but on iPadOS 15 sim. I've tried it on actual devices with iPadOS 15 betas up to 5 with same results. Here is a minimal example: class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() addKeyCommand(UIKeyCommand(title: UP, action: #selector(handle(key:)), input: UIKeyCommand.inputUpArrow, modifierFlags: [])) addKeyCommand(UIKeyCommand(title: DOWN, action: #selector(handle(key:)), input: UIKeyCommand.inputDownArrow, modifierFlags: [])) addKeyCommand(UIKeyCommand(title: TAB, action: #selector(handle(key:)), input: t, modifierFlags: [])) } @objc func handle(key: UIKeyCommand?) { NSLog(Intercepted key: (key?.title ?? Unknown)) } } I haven't found
