I’m running Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) with deployment target iOS 18.0+, and I’m seeing a consistent and reproducible issue on real devices (iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro): Problem The first time the user taps into a TextField or a SwiftUI .searchable field after app launch, the app freezes for 30–45 seconds before the keyboard appears. During the freeze, the device console floods with: XPC connection interrupted Reporter disconnected. { function=sendMessage, reporterID=XXXXXXXXXXXX } -[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a valid sessionID. inputModality = Keyboard customInfoType = UIEmojiSearchOperations After the keyboard finally appears once, the issue never happens again until the app is force-quit. This occurs on device Reproduction Steps Minimal reproducible setup: Create a new SwiftUI app. Add a single TextField or .searchable modifier. Install Firebase (Firestore or Analytics is enough). Build and run on device. Tap the

It is vital for Apple to refine its OCR models to correctly distinguish between Khmer and Thai scripts. Incorrectly labeling Khmer text as Thai is more than a technical bug; it is a culturally insensitive error that impacts national identity, especially given the current geopolitical climate between Cambodia and Thailand. Implementing a more robust language-detection threshold would prevent these harmful misidentifications. There is a significant logic flaw in the VNRecognizeTextRequest language detection when processing Khmer script. When the property automaticallyDetectsLanguage is set to true, the Vision framework frequently misidentifies Khmer characters as Thai. While both scripts share historical roots, they are distinct languages with different alphabets. Currently, the model’s confidence threshold for distinguishing between these two scripts is too low, leading to incorrect OCR output in both developer-facing APIs and Apple’s native ecosystem (Preview, Live Text, and Photos). import SwiftUI i

I am creating an Augmented Reality iOS (Not VisionOS) app using scenes created in Reality Composer Pro. I'd like my code to send a notification to a RCP scene that plays a timeline. The RCP interface has the option to set up a behaviour for this purpose: This Forum thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756978 suggests the code I need for sending a notification is: name: NSNotification.Name(RealityKit.NotificationTrigger), object: nil, userInfo: [ RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Scene: scene, RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Identifier: HideCharacter ] ) but the 'scene' var needs to point to the relevant RCP scene, which is loaded within a UIViewRepresentable ARView (because even in iOS26 it seems RealityKit/RealityViews aren't quite ready for AR use) and I can't work out how to correctly access it. Examples in the link above are for working with RealityKit and VisionOS only. Code for loading the scene is as follows. How can I get the notification code above to be situated in a separate SwiftUI

I have a SwiftUI-based universal app which creates a file that it stores in documentsDirectory. On iOS/iPadOS, this file is stored in the application's Documents directory and is accessible via the Files app. On MacCatalyst, this operation does the same thing — it creates the file and stores it in ~/Library/Containers//Data/Documents. However what I want is for the document to be stored in ~/Documents, so that it is easily accessible to the user. How can I do that? I'd like it to occur without (for example) having to show a SaveFile panel...

Greetings, and Happy Holidays, I've been building an on-device AI safety layer called Newton Engine, designed to validate prompts before they reach FoundationModels (or any LLM). Wanted to share v1.3 and get feedback from the community. The Problem Current AI safety is post-training — baked into the model, probabilistic, not auditable. When Apple Intelligence ships with FoundationModels, developers will need a way to catch unsafe prompts before inference, with deterministic results they can log and explain. What Newton Does Newton validates every prompt pre-inference and returns: Phase (0/1/7/8/9) Shape classification Confidence score Full audit trace If validation fails, generation is blocked. If it passes (Phase 9), the prompt proceeds to the model. v1.3 Detection Categories (14 total) Jailbreak / prompt injection Corrosive self-negation (I hate myself) Hedged corrosive (Not saying I'm worthless, but...) Emotional dependency (You're the only one who understands) Third-person manipulation (If you refuse, you

Using SwiftUI on macOS, how can I add a toolbar item on the right-most (trailing) edge of the window's toolbar when an Inspector is used? At the moment, the toolbar items are all left-of (leading) the split view tracking separator. I want the inspector toolbar item to be placed similar to where Xcode's Inspector toolbar item is placed: always as far right (trailing) as possible. NavigationSplitView { // ... snip } detail: { // ... snip } .inspector(isPresented: $isInspectorPresented) { InspectorContentView() } .toolbar { // What is the correct placement value here? ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button { isInspectorPresented.toggle() } label: { Label(Toggle Inspector, systemImage: sidebar.trailing) } } } See the attached screenshot. When the InspectorView is toggled open, the toolbar item tracks leading the split view tracking separator, which is not consistent with how Xcode works.

Hello, I have noticed a performance drop on SpriteKit-based projects running on iOS 26.0 (23A341). Below is a SpriteKit scene used to test framerate on different devices: import SpriteKit import SwiftUI class BareboneScene: SKScene { override func didMove(to view: SKView) { size = view.bounds.size anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5) backgroundColor = .darkGray let roundedSquare = SKShapeNode(rectOf: CGSize(width: 150, height: 75), cornerRadius: 12) roundedSquare.fillColor = .systemRed roundedSquare.strokeColor = .black roundedSquare.lineWidth = 3 addChild(roundedSquare) let action = SKAction.rotate(byAngle: .pi, duration: 1) roundedSquare.run(.repeatForever(action)) } } struct BareboneSceneView: View { var body: some View { SpriteView( scene: BareboneScene(), debugOptions: [.showsFPS] ) .ignoresSafeArea() } } #Preview { BareboneSceneView() } The scene is very simple, yet framerate drops to ~40 fps as shown by the Metal HUD. Tested on: iPhone 13, iOS 26.0: framerate drops to 40 fps. Sometimes it run

Hi everyone 👋 I’m fairly new to iOS development and I’ve been stuck on a SwiftUI issue for a while now, so I’m hoping someone here can spot what I’m doing wrong. I’m using navigationTransition(.zoom) together with matchedTransitionSource to animate navigation between views. The UI consists of a grid of items (currently a LazyVGrid, though the issue seems unrelated to laziness). Tapping an item zooms it into its detail view, which is structurally the same view type and can contain further items. All good expect that interactive swipe-back sometimes causes the item to disappear from the grid once the parent view is revealed. This only happens when dismissing via the drag gesture; it does not occur when using the back button. I’ve attached a short demo showing the issue and the Swift file containing the relevant view code. Is there something obvious I’m doing wrong with navigationTransition / matchedTransitionSource, or is this a known limitation or bug with interactive swipe-back? Thanks in advance. i

I am porting my app to SwiftUI and I am hitting a wall when using ScrollView. In my application, I have nested scrollViews to represent a scheduler. outer vertical scroll view inner horizontal scroll view that allows to horizontally scroll multiple columns in the scheduler each column in the inner scroll view is a view that needs to allow for a drag to initiate the creation of a new appointment on macOS, I do a mouse-down drag, so it does not affect the scroll view and works fine on iOS, if I add a drag gesture to the column, it short circuits the scroll view and scrolling becomes disabled. To initiate the drag, there is a long-press, and that gesture is fine, only the subsequent drag gesture is problematic. I have attached URL to a test app. The UI allows you to toggle the drag gesture. Hopefully, someone can help to get it to work since I would eventually like to port the macOS target to Catalyst.

I have a bunch of Buttons with a .help(Text(Help text)) modifier, inside of a VStack which has its own .help() modifier describing the entire section. The VStack help shows up only when I hover over the buttons, and the Button help never shows at all. If I comment out the VStack help, the individual button helps show. How do I get both to show up properly? I want the VStack to show if I am in the roundedBorder, unless I am over a Button with its own .help modifier. import SwiftUI struct BugReport: View { @State private var testp1 = false @State private var testp2 = false var body: some View { VStack { Text(Hello, World!) Button(Test1) { testp1.toggle() } .help(Change the test1) Button(Test2) { testp2.toggle() } .help(Change the test2) } .help(Testing stuff) .roundedBorder(color: .black) } } #Preview { BugReport() }

Please kindly improve the Safari browser side bar implementation further along with what The Browser Company has done with their Arc browser. Arc is about to retire soon too and they're willing to sell their SwiftUI code perhaps too for a decent pile of dollars, not the Jony Ive piles at least it should not. The toggle for side bar is nice and works perfect though!

Hello, I've a question about performance when trying to render lots of items coming from SwiftData via a @Query on a SwiftUI List. Here's my setup: // Item.swift: @Model final class Item: Identifiable { var timestamp: Date var isOptionA: Bool init() { self.timestamp = Date() self.isOptionA = Bool.random() } } // Menu.swift enum Menu: String, CaseIterable, Hashable, Identifiable { var id: String { rawValue } case optionA case optionB case all var predicate: Predicate { switch self { case .optionA: return #Predicate { $0.isOptionA } case .optionB: return #Predicate { !$0.isOptionA } case .all: return #Predicate { _ in true } } } } // SlowData.swift @main struct SlowDataApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([Item.self]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) return try! ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedMode
