Hello,
I’ve encountered what seems to be a bug with the keyboard dismissal animation on iOS 26.0 Beta (25A5349a), Xcode Version 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f).
When dismissing the keyboard from a SwiftUI TextField using @FocusState, the keyboard does not animate downward as expected. Instead, it instantly disappears, which feels jarring and inconsistent with system behavior.
I am attaching a short video demonstrating the issue. Below is the minimal reproducible code sample:
//
// ContentView.swift
// TestingKeyboardDismissal
//
// Created by Sasha Morozov on 27/08/25.
//
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var text: String = ""
@FocusState private var isFocused: Bool
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.clear.ignoresSafeArea()
VStack(spacing: 20) {
TextField("Enter text here...", text: $text)
.textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder)
.focused($isFocused)
.padding(.horizontal)
HStack {
Button("Focus") { isFocused = true }
.buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)
Button("Unfocus") { isFocused = false }
.buttonStyle(.bordered)
}
}
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity, alignment: .center)
.padding()
}
.ignoresSafeArea(.keyboard, edges: .bottom)
}
}
#Preview {
ContentView()
}
Steps to reproduce:
Run** the app on iOS 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f).
Tap Focus → keyboard appears as expected.
Tap Unfocus → keyboard disappears instantly without the usual slide-down animation.
Expected result:
Keyboard should animate smoothly downwards when dismissed.
Actual result:
Keyboard instantly vanishes without animation.
p.s. we should be really able to upload videos here for demostration
