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 appear via the code in didPresentSearchController, but when any scope bar button is tapped, the search controller is dismissed. This happens when the app is horizontally regular. When the app on the iPad is horizontally compact, the buttons work but the search bar's text is not correctly aligned within the search bar. Quite the mess really. I still need to post a bug report for this issue. But if issue 1 above is fixed then I don't need this workaround. When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .stacked, and the hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling property of the navigationItem is set to false (always show the search bar), and this is all used in a UITableViewController, then upon initial display of the view controller on an iPhone or iPad, you are unable to tap on the first row of the table view except on the very bottom of the row. The currently hidden scope bar is stealing the touches. If you activate and then cancel the search (making the scope bar appear and then disappear) then you are able to tap on the first row as expected. The initially hidden scope bar also bleeds through the first row of the table. It's faint but you can tell it's not quite right. Again, this is resolved by activating and then canceling the search once. FB17888632 When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to integrated or .integratedButton, and the toolbar is shown, then on iPhones (where the search bar/icon appears in the toolbar) the scope buttons appear (at the top of the screen) the first time the search is activated. But if you cancel the search and then activate it again, the search bar never appears a second (or later) time. On an iPad the search bar/icon appears in the nav bar and you end up with the same issue as #1 above. FB17890125 Issues 3 and 4 were reported against beta 1 and still haven't been fixed. But if issue 1 is resolved on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Mac Catalyst), then I personally won't be affected by issues 2, 3, or 4 any more (but of course all 4 issues need to be fixed). And by resolved, I mean that the scope bar appears and disappears when it is supposed to each and every time the search is activated and cancelled (not just the first time). The scope bar doesn't interfere with touch events upon initial display of the view controller. And there are no visual glitches no matter what the horizontal size class is on an iPad. I really hope the UIKit team can get these resolved before iOS/iPadOS 26 GM.

This is really odd. If you setup a UISearchController with a preferredSearchBarPlacement of .stacked and you setup the search bar with scope buttons, then when the view controller is initially displayed, the currently hidden scope buttons block touch events from reaching the main view just below the search bar. But once the search is activated and dismissed, then the freshly hidden scope buttons no longer cause an issue. This is easily demonstrated by putting a UITableViewController in a UINavigationController. Setup the table view to show a few simple rows. Then setup a search controller using the following code: func setupSearch() { // Setup a stacked search bar with scope buttons // Before the search is ever activated, the hidden scope buttons block any touches in the main view controller // in the area just below the search bar. // Once the search is activated and dismissed, the problem goes away. It seems that displaying and hiding the // scope buttons at least once fixes the issue that exists beforehand. // This issue only exists in iOS/iPadOS 26, not iOS/iPadOS 18 or earlier. let search = UISearchController(searchResultsController: UIViewController()) search.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = true search.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = true search.scopeBarActivation = .onSearchActivation // Ensure button appear immediately let searchBar = search.searchBar searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = [ "One", "Two", "Three" ] self.navigationItem.searchController = search self.navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false // Issue appears even if this is true self.navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked } When first shown, before any attempt is made to activate the search, any attempt to tap on the upper 2/3 of the first row in the table view (which is just below the search bar) fails. If you tap on the lower 1/3 of the first row it works fine. If you then activate the search (now the scope buttons appear) and then dismiss the search (now the scope buttons are hidden again), then there is no issue tapping anywhere on the first row of the table. But if you restart the app, the problem starts over again. This problem happens on any iPhone or iPad, real or simulated, running iOS/iPadOS 26 RC. This is a regression from iOS 18 or earlier.

Hello, I'm currently setting up an external TestFlight testing phase for my iOS app and need some clarification on the release process after App Review approval. For App Store releases, I know I can manually release the app at my preferred time. However, when submitting an external TestFlight build for review, there is an option to "Notify testers". If this is selected, the build seems to be automatically made available to testers immediately upon approval. My concern is: If I uncheck the "Notify testers" option, will the build still become available on TestFlight, allowing testers who proactively check the app to download the update, even though they don't receive a notification? Is there a way to completely control the exact release time (similar to the manual App Store release) for external testers? We need to manage the release timing to align with backend production deployment. We want to ensure the app update is released only after our backend is fully ready. Any insights into how to best manage this timing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I am using SwiftData for my model. Until Xcode 15 beta 4 I did not have issues. Since beta 5 I am receiving the following red warning multiple times: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release This seems to be a CoreData warning. However, I am not using CoreData directly. I have no way to change the config of CoreData as used by SwiftData. My model just uses UUID, Int, String, Double, some of them as optionals or Arrays. I only use one attribute (.unique).

I didn't run benchmarks before update, but it seems at least 5x slower. Of course all the LLM work is on remote servers, so is non-intuitive to me this should be happening. Had updated MacOS and Xcode to 26.1RC at the same time, so can't even say I think it is MacOS or I think it is Xcode. Before the update the progress indicator for each piece of code might seem to get stuck at the very end (and toggling between Navigators and Coding Assistant) in Xcode UI seemed to refresh the UI and confirm coding complete... but now it seems progress races to 50%, then often is stuck at 75%... well earlier than used to get stuck. And it like something is legitimately processing not just a UI glitch. I'm wondering if this is somehow tied to visual rendering of the code in the little white window? CMD-TAB into Xcode seems laggy. Xcode is pinning a CPU. Why, this is all remote LLM work? MacBook Pro 2021 M1 64GB RAM. Went from 26.01 to 26.1RC. Didn't touch any of the betas until RC1.

I've encountered a major issue with the iOS 18.1 RC and watchOS 11.1 RC. It appears that complications running on WidgetKit cannot be synced as .watchface to these new release candidates. The error message indicates that "the Watch Faces app and complication are not available," which is affecting all apps utilizing WidgetKit. This issue renders all WidgetKit-based complications unusable on watchOS 11.1 RC. It’s a serious problem for those of us who rely on these complications for our apps and for users expecting consistent functionality. APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP! This bug is a significant setback for developers and users alike, and any guidance or updates would be greatly appreciated.

iphone 15 pro max ios 26 Stuck at the developer mode startup interface and unable to swipe up.

I downloaded the Xcode Beta 3 on my MacBook Pro M4 Base today and tested out some iOS26 mechanics of my app. And when I came back to my main Xcode to continue developing in iOS18, I couldn't build my app. I went to Product > Destination > Manage run destinations and then tried to create a simulator with iOS18 but it didn't show up, only choice that's showing up was iOS26. I tried deleting iOS18 platform and downloading it again but it didn't solve, I tried deleting Xcode Beta but it didn't solve the problem either. I deleted Runtimes folder, it didn't solve too. I can not create a simulator of iOS18 or below too, the error says "The iOS 18.5 simulator runtime is not available. Try reinstalling Xcode or the simulator runtime." How can I fix this problem?

Summary When a SwiftUI widget uses a Link containing an Image modified with .widgetAccentedRenderingMode (using any mode except .fullColor), tapping the image on the widget launches the app but does not pass the expected deep link URL to the SceneDelegate. Steps to Reproduce Create a SwiftUI Widget View with a Link: struct ImageView: View { var image: UIImage var body: some View { Link(URL(string: "myapp://image")!) { Image(uiImage: image) .resizable() .widgetAccentedRenderingMode(.accentedDesaturated) // or any mode other than .fullColor .scaledToFill() .clipped() } } } Add Custom URL Scheme in Info.plist: <dict> <key>CFBundleURLName</key> <string>com.company.myapp</string> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>myapp</string> </array> </dict> Implement Deep Link Handling in SceneDelegate: func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { if let url = connectionOptions.urlContexts.first?.url { handle(url) } } func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts urlContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) { if let url = urlContexts.first?.url { handle(url) } } private func handle(_ url: URL) { // Process URL here } Run the application on a device or simulator. Add the widget to the Home Screen. Tap the image inside the widget. Expected Result The application launches and receives the URL in SceneDelegate, as expected. Actual Result The application launches, but the URL is not passed to SceneDelegate. Both connectionOptions.urlContexts and openURLContexts are empty.

NavigationLinks do not display correctly in tvOS 26. When using a Button, the correct behavior of vertically placing an Image or AsyncImage above one or two Text fields occurs. However, when using NavigationLink the image and text(s) are laid out horizontally. Attempting to fix this using a VStack prevents the text from sliding down as the NavigationLink receives focus. Using the hoverEffect modifier does not help. Using a Button (correct behavior): Using a NavigationLink without VStack: Using a NavigationLink with VStack:

Overview Starting with macOS 26 beta 1, a new NSGlassContainerView is added inside NSToolbarView. This view intercepts mouse events, so any SwiftUI Button (or other interactive view) overlaid on the title‑bar / toolbar area no longer receives clicks. (The same code works fine on macOS 15 and earlier.) Filed as FB18201935 via Feedback Assistant. Reproduction (minimal project) macOS 15 or earlier → button is clickable macOS 26 beta → button cannot be clicked (no highlight, no action call) @main struct Test_macOS26App: App { init() { // Uncomment to work around the issue (see next section) // enableToolbarClickThrough() } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .windowStyle(.hiddenTitleBar) // ⭐️ hide the title bar } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List { Text("sidebar") } } detail: { HSplitView { listWithOverlay listWithOverlay } } } private var listWithOverlay: some View { List(0..<30) { Text("item: \($0)") } .overlay(alignment: .topTrailing) { // ⭐️ overlay in the toolbar area Button("test") { print("test") } .glassEffect() .ignoresSafeArea() } } } Investigation In Xcode View Hierarchy Debugger, a layer chain NSToolbarView > NSGlassContainerView sits in front of the button. -[NSView hitTest:] on NSGlassContainerView returns itself, so the event never reaches the SwiftUI layer. Swizzling hitTest: to return nil when the result is the view itself makes the click go through: func enableToolbarClickThrough() { guard let cls = NSClassFromString("NSGlassContainerView"), let m = class_getInstanceMethod(cls, #selector(NSView.hitTest(_:))) else { return } typealias Fn = @convention(c)(AnyObject, Selector, NSPoint) -> Unmanaged<NSView>? let origIMP = unsafeBitCast(method_getImplementation(m), to: Fn.self) let block: @convention(block)(AnyObject, NSPoint) -> NSView? = { obj, pt in guard let v = origIMP(obj, #selector(NSView.hitTest(_:)), pt)?.takeUnretainedValue() else { return nil } return v === (obj as AnyObject) ? nil : v // ★ make the container transparent } method_setImplementation(m, imp_implementationWithBlock(block)) } Questions / Call for Feedback Is this an intentional behavioral change? If so, what is the recommended public API or pattern for allowing clicks to reach views overlaid behind the toolbar? Any additional data points or confirmations are welcome—please reply if you can reproduce the issue or know of an official workaround. Thanks in advance!

After I updated my ios to ios26.1 Icons are bigger in homepage and alarm is alarming literally since it is way much bigger it occupies the whole screen of my phone. Also, accessibility menu like lock screen, home, screenshot needs to double tap before it functions properly. Its annoying

HiIm currently on iOS 11 Beta 2 (Build 15A5304i) With Update 1 Build 15A5304j just been released, will there be any difference since last weeks release?I can't update OTA to the new build released today.ThanksBarry

I’m seeing an issue with subscriptions in TestFlight builds on iOS 26. Running from Xcode works as expected, and the App Store build looks fine. But when I install the same build via TestFlight, transaction.subscriptionStatus is nil. The identical binary behaves correctly on an iOS 18 device. Is this expected behavior on iOS 26 TestFlight, or am I missing something? Thanks!

I have a couple of (older) UIKit-based Apps using UISplitViewController on the iPad to have a two-column layout. I'm trying to edit the App so it will shows the left column as sidebar with liquid glass effect, similar to the one in the "Settings" App of iPadOS 26. But this seems to be almost impossible to do right now. "out of the box" the UISplitViewController already shows the left column somehow like a sidebar, with some margins to the sides, but missing the glass effect and with very little contrast to the background. If the left column contains a UITableViewController, I can try to get the glass effect this way within the UITableViewController: tableView.backgroundColor = .clear tableView.backgroundView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIGlassContainerEffect()) It is necessary to set the backgroundColor of the table view to the clear color because otherwise the default background color would completely cover the glass effect and so it's no longer visible. It is also necessary to set the background of all UITableViewCells to clear. If the window is in the foreground, this will now look very similar to the sidebar of the Settings App. However if the window is in the back, the sidebar is now much darker than the one of the Settings App. Not that nice looking, but for now acceptable. However whenever I navigate to another view controller in the side bar, all the clear backgrounds destroy the great look, because the transition to the new child controller overlaps with the old parent controller and you see both at the same time (because of the clear backgrounds). What is the best way to solve these issues and get a sidebar looking like the one of the Settings App under all conditions?

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). In the secondary list, set Appearance = Plain (also repros with Grouped). Perform a leading swipe (LTR: swipe right) on any row. Actual: content shifts ~3–4× the action width (overshoot). Expected: content translates exactly the action width. Switch Appearance = InsetGrouped and repeat the leading (swipe right) gesture → correct (no overshoot).

With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-) I checked focus and settings but found nothing related. With ios18 everything works fine. Any ideas?

I want a different color, one from my asset catalog, as the background of my first ever swift UI view (and, well, swift, the rest of the app is still obj.c) I've tried putting the color everywhere, but it does't take. I tried with just .red, too to make sure it wasn't me. Does anyone know where I can put a color call that will actually run? Black looks very out of place in my happy app. I spent a lot of time making a custom dark palette. TIA KT @State private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var showAddSheet = false var body: some View { ZStack { Color.myCuteBg .ignoresSafeArea(.all) NavigationStack { content .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) { Image("cute.image") .font(.system(size: 30)) .foregroundColor(.beigeTitle) } } } .background(Color.myCuteBg) .presentationBackground(.myCuteBg) .sheet(isPresented: $showAddSheet) { AddView() } .environment(viewModel) .onAppear { viewModel.fetchStuff() } } .tint(.cuteColor) } @ViewBuilder var content: some View { if viewModel.list.isEmpty && viewModel.anotherlist.isEmpty { ContentUnavailableView( "No Content", image: "stop", description: Text("Add something here by tapping the + button.") ) } else { contentList } } var contentList: some View { blah blah blah } } First I tried the background, then the presentation background, and finally the Zstack. I hope this is fixed because it's actually fun to build scrollable content and text with swiftUI and I'd been avoiding it for years.

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.
