A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

All of these issues appear when the search controller is set on the view controller's navigationItem and the search controller's searchBar has its scopeButtonTitles set. So far the following issues are affecting my app on iOS/iPadOS 26 as of beta 7: When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .integratedButton, and the searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration is set to false (forcing the search icon to appear in the nav bar), on both iPhones and iPads, the scope buttons never appear. They don't appear when the search is activated. They don't appear when any text is entered into the search bar. FB19771313 I attempted to work around that issue by setting the scopeBarActivation to .manual. I then show the scope bar in the didPresentSearchController delegate method and hide the scope bar in the willDismissSearchController. On an iPhone this works though the display is a bit clunky. On an iPad, the scope bar does

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).

Question I'm trying to replicate the iOS 26 Photos app behavior where a segmented control appears in the tab bar area when scrolling. Specifically, when the tab bar minimizes to inline mode, I want to show a Picker with .segmented style between the minimized tab button and search button. Expected Behavior (iOS 26 Photos App) When scrolling up in the Photos app: Tab bar minimizes to inline mode A segmented control (Years/Months/All) appears in the center Layout: [Tab Button] [Segmented Control] [Search Button] Current Implementation I'm using tabViewBottomAccessory with tabBarMinimizeBehavior: struct PhotosMainView: View { @Environment(ModelData.self) private var modelData @State private var searchText: String = var body: some View { @Bindable var modelData = modelData TabView { Tab(Library, systemImage: photo.on.rectangle) { NavigationStack { PhotosGridView() .navigationTitle(Library) } } Tab(Albums, systemImage: square.grid.2x2) { NavigationStack { AlbumsGridView() .navigationTitle(Albums) } } Tab(Search, s

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

In the beta of Icon Composer, I see macOS, iOS, and watchOS icons, but there is nothing about visionOS and tvOS. Those icons are particularly hard and it would be great if this app worked for developing icons for all Apple platforms. I tried asking this in a WWDC group lab, but they didn't get to it and suggested posting to the forum.

I have an app (currently not released on App Store) which runs on both iOS and macOS. The app has widgets for both iOS and macOS which uses user preference (set in app) into account while showing data. Before upgrading to macOS 15 (until Sonoma) widgets were working fine and app was launching correctly, but after upgrading to macOS 15 Sequoia, every time I launch the app it give popup saying '“Kontest” would like to access data from other apps. Keeping app data separate makes it easier to manage your privacy and security.' and also widgets do not get user preferences and throw the same type of error on Console application when using logging. My App group for both iOS and macOS is 'group.com.xxxxxx.yyyyy'. I am calling it as 'UserDefaults(suiteName: Constants.userDefaultsGroupID)!.bool(forKey: shouldFetchAllEventsFromCalendar)'. Can anyone tell, what am I doing wrong here?

Hi there, We’re testing Declarative Device Management (DDM) for VPP app management and followed the latest declaration template here: https://github.com/apple/device-management/blob/release/declarative/declarations/configurations/app.managed.yaml Our goal is to enable VPP auto-updates via the declaration. The payload we’re using looks like this: AppStoreID: 1231325957, InstallBehavior: {Install: Required, License: {Assignment: Device}}, UpdateBehavior: {AutomaticAppUpdates: AlwaysOn} } What we’re seeing Device A (no Apple ID signed into App Store): User can manually update the VPP app with the above declaration in place. ( The same user cannot update the app if UpdateBehavior is not in the declaration payload. Device B (Apple ID signed into App Store, and the same Apple ID doesn't have the above app purchased): User cannot manually update the same VPP app. The App Store shows the error seen when UpdateBehavior is absent: “ cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple Account.”

Hi, would love for your help in that matter. I try to get the position in space of two QR codes to make an alignment to their positions in space. The detection shows that the QR codes position is always 0,0,0 and I don't understand why. Here's my code: import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct AnchorView: View { @ObservedObject var qrCoordinator: QRCoordinator @ObservedObject var coordinator: ImmersiveCoordinator let qrName: String @Binding var startQRDetection: Bool @State private var anchor: AnchorEntity? = nil @State private var detectionTask: Task? = nil var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Add the QR anchor once (must exist before detection starts) if anchor == nil { let imageAnchor = AnchorEntity(.image(group: QRs, name: qrName)) content.add(imageAnchor) anchor = imageAnchor print(📌 Created anchor for (qrName)) } } .onChange(of: startQRDetection) { enabled in if enabled { startDetection() } else { stopDetection() } } .onDisappear { stopDetection() } } privat
