iPadOS 17.7.7

In iOS 18, TabView with .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) introduced a powerful adaptive pattern — tabs in compact, sidebar in regular. However, the current Tab API only supports a title and an image (icon). There is no way to provide a trailing accessory view (e.g., a secondary icon or indicator) for sidebar rows. This is a meaningful gap in the API, because trailing accessories are a well-established pattern throughout UIKit and SwiftUI. Precedent in Apple's own design language Apple already supports trailing accessories in many analogous contexts: UITableViewCell / UICollectionViewListCell — support accessories (disclosure indicators, checkmarks, custom views) via UICellAccessory. UIListContentConfiguration — allows leading and trailing content in list rows. SwiftUI List rows — support Label, HStack with trailing elements, .badge(), and swipeActions. NavigationLink — automatically renders a disclosure chevron as a trailing accessory. UITabSidebarItem (UIKit, iOS 18) — supports configurationUpdateHandler and

I'm working on my Swift Student Challenge 2026 submission and have a question about the evaluation environment. My app targets iOS 26 (I had to configure this on the Package.swift file directly) and uses the Speech framework for on-device speech recognition. I've selected Swift Playgrounds as my evaluation path (rather than Xcode) with the intention of having it run on a physical iPad rather than Simulator. My question: What version of iPadOS will the evaluation iPads be running? The reason I ask is practical, as my app's minimum deployment target is iOS 26. If the evaluation device is running an earlier version of iPadOS, the app won't launch at all. I've searched the eligibility and terms pages but couldn't find this documented anywhere.

I have been working on a M1 Mac mini, using my iPad Air M2 running 26.3 iPadOS. Switched to a new M4 Mac mini, went to connect my iPad to run from Xcode and was presented this The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device. So how can a get an updated DDI? I appreciate any ideas. /Users/robertlawson/Desktop/Screenshot 2026-02-15 at 8.21.50 PM.png

Hello, My app was rejected on iPad (iPad Air 11-inch M3, iPadOS 26.2.1) with two related issues: Guideline 2.1 – Performance – App Completeness “The app exhibited one or more bugs that would negatively impact users. Bug description: the premium subscription cannot be loaded properly.” Guideline 3.1.2 – Business – Payments – Subscriptions “The submission did not include all the required information for apps offering auto-renewable subscriptions.” I am using StoreKit 2 with SubscriptionStoreView to present the auto-renewable subscription. During development: Subscriptions load correctly in the simulator (sandbox). On real devices, I test without a local StoreKit configuration file to fetch products from App Store Connect. The subscription UI (title, duration, price) displays correctly when products are returned. At the time of review, the Paid Apps Agreement was not active. I suspect this may have caused the subscription products to fail loading on the review device. Since then: Paid Apps Agreement is

Following is an error I encounter when trying to run a foundation model function in simulator. Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError Code=-1 (null) UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( Error Domain=ModelManagerServices.ModelManagerError Code=1026 (null) UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(n)} )} Its a swift playground I'm building in xcode and works fine in the preview and on a real device too but since it's my submission for the swift student challenge I need it to run on the simulator. I have updated my macOS to latest version of Tahoe(26.3) and Xcode is also on latest version. The simulator I run the playground is also on ios and iPadOS 26. I have set my region to US and have turned on Apple Intelligence on my mac too. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue?👾

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) } } } .sheet(

Hello, I am an individual developer working on a macOS application using SwiftUI and RealityKit. I would like to understand the feasibility of face-related tracking on macOS when using an external USB camera, compared to iOS/iPadOS. Specifically: • Does macOS provide an ARKit Face Tracking–equivalent API (e.g., real-time facial expressions, gaze direction, depth)? • If not, is it common to rely on Vision / AVFoundation as alternatives for: • Facial expression coefficients • Gaze estimation • Depth approximation • In an environment without dedicated sensors such as TrueDepth, is it correct to assume that accurate depth data and high-fidelity blend shape extraction are realistically difficult? Any clarification on official limitations, recommended alternatives, or relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A blank keyboard appear in safari view controller Description: While clicking a password enter field in a page inside a safari view controller, keyboard will appear. However, the keyboard is blank out. The app is enterprise program app which is iPhone app but allow to install in iPad. The issue will only appear in iPadOS 26+ and it can be temporary fixed by changing the window size. Expected result: A keyboard with characters button should be appeared. Actual: A keyboard which is blank and no characters can be input. P.S. : A feedback ticket also raise : FB21921438

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with In-App Purchases during App Review and would appreciate guidance from anyone who has encountered a similar situation. Context: New iOS/iPadOS app, first submission. One Non-Consumable In-App Purchase. IAP was created, fully configured, and submitted together with the app version. IAP status in App Store Connect: In Review. App includes Restore Purchase and uses standard StoreKit purchase flow. Paid Apps Agreement is accepted. Problem: During Apple’s review, when the reviewer taps the purchase button, a generic error appears: “Purchase failed. An error occurred, please try again.” Apple rejected the app under Guideline 2.1 – Performance – App Completeness, stating that the IAP shows a bug. What seems to be happening: The IAP itself is still in review and therefore not fully active, which causes the purchase attempt to fail. However, the app cannot be approved because the purchase fails, creating a circular dependency: App cannot be approved because IAP purchase
