This issue was in the first iOS 26 beta and it still there with Xcode 26 beta 6 (17A5305f). Feedback is FB18581605 and contains sample project to reproduce the issue. I assign a target and action to a UISlider for the UIControl.Event.valueChanged value: addTarget(self, action: #selector(sliderValueDidChange), for: .valueChanged) Here’s the function. @objc func sliderValueDidChange(_ sender: UISlider, event: UIEvent) { print(event) } When printing the event value, there is a crash. When checking the event value with lldb, it appears uninitialized.

Has anyone else run across this after manually renewing an expired developer account? Happens when I go to the "Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles" page and click on anything. Also unable to download any of the iOS SDK's. Any ideas?

I’m currently developing an application using WKWebView. After updating to iOS 26.2 Developer Beta, the following Web API started returning false: isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/docs/Web/API/PublicKeyCredential/isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable_static This issue did not occur on iOS 26.1 — it only happens on the beta version. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is aware of any related changes? OS: iOS 26.2 beta 3 (23C5044b)

This example application crashes when entering any text to the token field with FAULT: NSGenericException: The window has been marked as needing another Update Constraints in Window pass, but it has already had more Update Constraints in Window passes than there are views in the window. The app uses controlTextDidChange to update a live preview where it accesses the objectValue of the token field. If one character is entered, it also looks like the NSTokenFieldDelegate methods tokenField(_:styleForRepresentedObject:) tokenField(_:editingStringForRepresentedObject:) tokenField(_:representedObjectForEditing:) are called more than 10000 times until the example app crashes on macOS Tahoe 26 beta 6. I've reported this issue with beta 1 as FB18088608, but haven't heard back so far. I have multiple occurrences of this issue in my app, which is working fine on previous versions of macOS. I haven't found a workaround yet, and I’m getting anxious of this issue persisting into the official release.

I have recently been having trouble with my iOS 18.2 beta update. It has been 2 weeks since I have updated to iOS 18.2 beta and joined the Genmoji and image playground waitlist. I am wondering how much longer I have to wait till my request is approved.

On iOS 26 beta 3, my app and some other apps got greyed out app icon. It only happens in Default (Light) appearance. Apple automatically converts third-party app icons to support Liquid Glass, but is there any specific requirement with third-party icons to avoid above greyed out app icon issue?

In the XCode 16 beta, it isn't possible to create a new StoreKit configuration file because the templates list doesn't contain that option. Adding the storekit extension to a file crashes XCode or doesn't have an effect at all. But, loading an existing file still works.

I'm making a wrapper library to abstract away some of the 'missing platform support' of DeclaredAgeRange until hopefully it expands to additional platforms. When I'm trying to fully enumerate all of the cases of AgeRangeDeclaration, which they all state available starting 26.0 (mysteriously added in Xcode 26.2 beta), the app crashes due to a missing symbol at launch time. This happens both for Xcode 26.1, 26.2 beta 2, and matching Xcode Cloud builds. So I've isolated it beyond "doesn't work on my machine". I just made a handful of crashes and attached a sysdiagnose to a fresh feedback. FB21121092 - DeclaredAgeRange: Eligibility property and new declaration cases unavailable on iOS 26.1 device contradicting documentation - causes runtime symbol not found crash If anyone is curious what these crashes look like I've attached the DiagnosticPayload.jsonRepresentation() generated from one of my favorite frameworks, MetricKit. Very clearly articulated in the diagnostic metadata you can see the symbol not found.

As a side note, thank you for this property, it will let me check what states I need to perform extra checks for in a clean way, I just will need it to now not crash my app on 26.0 and 26.1 runtime devices. :) Edit: DTS did confirm on a comment I had in another thread that this is a bug. Now just to wait for an Xcode beta update. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/807906?answerId=867205022#867205022 In any case, this is a great example of how MetricKit totally rocks capturing things other off the shelf crash tools might not have a chance to get. I did have to roll back my TestFlight to an earlier build, but MetricKit was there to send me the previous crashes as soon as the app could launch. Thanks MetricKit team!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to add the Side Button Access entitlement to my voice-based conversational app following the documentation, but I'm unable to find it in Xcode. Steps I followed: Selected my app target in Xcode project navigator Went to the Signing & Capabilities tab Clicked the + Capability button Searched for "Side Button Access" Problem: The "Side Button Access" option does not appear in the capabilities list at all. Environment: I'm developing and testing in Japan (where this feature should be available) Xcode version: Xcode 26.2 beta 3 iOS deployment target: iOS 26.2 Questions: Is there any pre-registration or special approval process required from Apple before this entitlement becomes available? Are there any additional requirements or prerequisites I need to meet? Is this feature already available, or is it still in a limited beta phase? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.5 Beta-2, daemons launched with launchctl are failing to open Desktop/Documents/Downloads files and folders even in read mode with an error "Operation not permitted".Does anyone facing this issue?

We are using AgeRangeService.requestAgeRange(ageGates:in:) with an age gate of 18 to verify adult users. The system prompt always displays the lower-bound wording (“17 or Younger”), even when the app’s requirement is to verify users who are 18 or older. We understand the UI is system-controlled; however, this wording causes confusion for users, QA, and product teams, as it appears to indicate a child-only flow even when requesting adult verification. Based on the demonstration video, it appears that they have another more coherent message. In Apple's example, it is different, and it is correct that we need to specify 18 years or older in the implementation. A little more context might be helpful, but we are creating a kind of wrapper with React Native that receives that value as a parameter, which is 18.

Filed in Feedback as FB20772137 Zoom transition originating from inside tabViewBottomAccessory, when the binding passed to fullScreenCover's item is a Binding other than a "$-synthesized" binding, the animation fails with the following error (and crucially fails to perform the desired animation): Starting a zoom transition from a nil view will trigger a fallback transition. To get the best possible teansition, be sure to provide a view that's visible and in a window. What I want to do is pass a binding to a property inside an ObservableObject (or @Observable, but it doesn't matter) to hold the item representing the presentation. But this stopped working as of 26.1b4. It worked in 26.1b3 and in 26.0 (and 26.0.1) Here's the gist of code that will reproduce the issue (I've omitted irrelevant details in the interest of brevity): struct ContentView: View { @Binding var presentation: PresentationDestination? @Namespace private var animation var body: some View { // Omitted TabView stuff… .tabViewBottomAccessory { miniPlayer .matchedTransitionSource( id: "player", in: animation ) } .fullScreenCover( item: $presentation, content: { _ in fullScreenPlayer .navigationTransition( .zoom( sourceID: "player", in: animation ) ) }) } As you can see, ContentView takes a Binding to the presentation, but it matters how this binding is constructed. This works: @State private var presentation: PresentationDestination … ContentView(presentation: $presentation) This fails (as does ObservableObject with @Published): @Observable class Router2 { var presentation: PresentationDestination? } … @State private var router2 = Router2() … ContentView(presentation: $router2.presentation) Also, this fails: @State private var presentation: PresentationDestination … ContentView( presentation: .init(get: { presentation }, set: { newValue in presentation = newValue }) ) These differences are unexpected, of course. I consider this a regression in 26.1b4 I should add that if I move the source of the transition to somewhere outside tabViewBottomAccessory things seem to work fine.

I have installed the latest beta on my iPad , iPadOS 16.1 (20B5050f) On running in app in Playgrounds that has a TextField, external keyboard input do not seem to be working. Tapping on the Text field inserts the cursor but no text can be entered on my external keyboard. (TextEditor field also do not work) Tested with both a Smart Keyboard and a Magic Keyboard. The keyboard works to enter the code in playgrounds, so it is not a keyboard connection issue. Disconnecting the keyboard, the onscreen keyboard is displayed and works correctly. Is this a Playgrounds issue or an iPadOS 16.1 issue or a compatibility issue with Playgrounds & iPadOS 16.1 ? import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View {     @State var field: String = "Test input"          var body: some View {         VStack {             Image(systemName: "globe")                 .imageScale(.large)                 .foregroundColor(.accentColor)             Text("Hello, world!")             TextField("", text: $field)                 .frame(height: 100)         }     } }

iOS 26.2 Beta 23C5044b Phone's battery reports 0% Health, leaving it on multiple chargers (high/low wattage) doesn't change anything. Icon changes to charging. Changed the battery with a high quality aftermarket of ~70% charge, same issue. Unable to remove beta or update to RC2 due to the 20% minimum required... not sure what to do.

I've been writing about the DeclaredAgeRange a bit on LinkedIn and now it is time to take to the developer forums. In my efforts to prepare my apps for new local requirements, I've run across some rough edges. The DeclaredAgeRange API is missing on several platforms, and extension types. First and foremost, watchOS. An Apple Watch is a clear single user platform and for standalone apps, the DeclaredAgeRange being absent is felt by developers. FB20954931 - DeclaredAgeRange: Framework not available on watchOS making compliance a challenge for watchOS standalone apps In the same vein of thinking, while users on Apple Vision Pro are far fewer numbers than Apple Watch, it is also a miss. The tricky part would be testing on the simulator. So far I haven't gotten the simulator and sandbox testing to work and give real values across any platform. I don't think an Apple Store will let me try my app out via TestFlight on their devices and they're still too expensive to reasonably buy for most developers. Too bad Feedbacks are not a currency that developers can trade in for gear. FB20955020 - DeclaredAgeRange: Framework not available on visionOS making compliance a challenge for visionOS apps I'll recognize that the user model is different on tvOS, and that as a user while I have family group setup, I don't have any children on the account. I have to imagine that child accounts on an Apple TV exist and would be able to account for the sharing of age ranges to apps. Yes, the user could just switch profiles, but, app developers could still integrate the age range into their apps. Maybe it needs more robust system level support but here is the feedback just the same. FB20955029 - DeclaredAgeRange: Framework not available on tvOS making compliance a challenge on tvOS apps And finally, let's not forget about App Clips. While the App Clips might not be 'downloaded' from App Store itself, it is powered by App Store technologies to an extent. I'd rather not bifurcate my code more than it already is for the shared code between my apps and app clips. Rounding out platform support to App Clips, since it is iOS, would close the loop. FB20954846 - DeclaredAgeRange / App Clips: Add support for DeclaredAgeRange framework for App Clip targets - capability exist, Xcode cannot generate entitlement for it Oh wait, actually, not quite. To fully close the loop, make the DeclaredAgeRange work fully on macCatalyst. The documentation says it is compatible, but from my experiments trying to get it to even compile when targeting macCatalyst apps simply doesn't build. FB21117325 - DeclaredAgeRange: API documentation states available on mac catalyst - but fails to compile in Xcode 26.2

I have been experimenting with the BGContinuedProcessingTask API recently (and published sample code for it https://github.com/infinitepower18/BGContinuedProcessingTaskDemo) I have noticed that if I lock the phone, the code that runs as part of the task stops executing. My sample code simply updates the progress each second until it gets to 100, so it should be completed in 1 minute 40 seconds. However, after locking the phone and checking the lock screen a few seconds later the progress indicator was in the same position as before I locked it. If I leave the phone locked for several minutes and check the lock screen the live activity says "Task failed". I haven't seen anything in the documentation regarding execution of tasks while the phone is locked. So I'm a bit confused if I encountered an iOS bug here?

I've recently installed 26.1 Beta 3 alongside stable 26.0.1 When building my app with 26.0.1 the final .ipa size is ~17mb, however after building my app with 26.1 Beta 3 the size has increased up to ~22mb The main difference is Assets.car blowing from 1.1mb to 5.6mb (or 8.6mb if I include all icons settings). Upon examining I've found new liquid glass .icon file duplicating itself multiple times as png variants (any, dark, tinted, etc). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

We’ve encountered what appears to be a CoreML regression between macOS 26.0.1 and macOS 26.1 Beta. In macOS 26.0.1, CoreML models run and produce correct results. However, in macOS 26.1 Beta, the same models produce scrambled or corrupted outputs, suggesting that tensor memory is being read or written incorrectly. The behavior is consistent with a low-level stride or pointer arithmetic issue — for example, using 16-bit strides on 32-bit data or other mismatches in tensor layout handling. Reproduction Install ON1 Photo RAW 2026 or ON1 Resize 2026 on macOS 26.0.1. Use the newest Highest Quality resize model, which is Stable Diffusion–based and runs through CoreML. Observe correct, high-quality results. Upgrade to macOS 26.1 Beta and run the same operation again. The output becomes visually scrambled or corrupted. We are also seeing similar issues with another Stable Diffusion UNet model that previously worked correctly on macOS 26.0.1. This suggests the regression may affect multiple diffusion-style architectures, likely due to a change in CoreML’s tensor stride, layout computation, or memory alignment between these versions. Notes The affected models are exported using standard CoreML conversion pipelines. No custom operators or third-party CoreML runtime layers are used. The issue reproduces consistently across multiple machines. It would be helpful to know if there were changes to CoreML’s tensor layout, precision handling, or MLCompute backend between macOS 26.0.1 and 26.1 Beta, or if this is a known regression in the current beta.

Is there a way to check or be notified for new Xcode beta versions? The only way I know is to manually keep checking the available betas web page to see if anything new is available (while also manually comparing it to the installed version). Or am I missing something?
