I don't know why, but for my MacCatalyst target, I have to make my view controller Y orgin 36 and the subtract the view height by 36 points, or the view is clipped. The following works in my main UIViewController, but feels super hacky. I'd feel better if I understood the issue and addressed it properly. override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() { super.viewWillLayoutSubviews() #if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst) if view.frame.origin.y < 1 { let f = UIApplication.shared.sceneBounds let newFrame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 36, width: f.size.width, height: f.size.height - 36) self.view.frame = newFrame } #endif } My guess is it starts the view under the title bar, but I have these set in the view controller: self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false self.edgesForExtendedLayout = []

I have a text based action for iPhone and Mac Catalyst I am developing in Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS 13.4.1. I have the container app, an action and an AppGroup defined. I have confirmed that I can read the necessary shared defaults when the action launches. At this point the UI for the action is a simple textview in which I hope to display a modified version of the text passed to the action in the NSExtensionItems. I am not using a simulator. I am running the action directly using Xcode. What is happening is that the ActionViewController viewDidLoad runs but no visible window opens. In the console I see this as the action launches: 2023-07-05 18:27:23.692277-0700 XYZ[4634:279295] [ViewBridge] ViewBridge attempted to look up a hosted window with identifier 8E816BD5-67D3-402D-ADEB-AC59EDFA1F3B, but it was never registered. 2023-07-05 18:27:23.692408-0700 XYZ[4634:279295] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. ....

Getting this error several times when presenting a modal window over my splitview window when running it on my Mac using Swift/Mac Catalyst in XCode 14.2. When I click the Cancel button in the window then I get Scene destruction request failed with error: (null) right after an unwind segue. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.488538-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.488972-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.496702-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.496800-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. 2023-07-04 16:50:45.994147-0500 Recipes[27836:1295134] Unbalanced calls to begin/end appearance transitions for <UINavigationController: 0x7f7fdf068a00>. bleep 2023-07-04 16:51:00.655233-0500 Recipes[27836:1297298] Scene destruction request failed with error: (null) I don't quite understand what all all this means. (The "bleep" was a debugging print code I put in the unwind segue). I'm working through Apple's Mac Catalyst tutorial but it seems to be riddled with bugs and coding issues, even in the final part of the completed app which I dowmloaded and ran. I don't see these problems on IPad simulator. I don't know if it's because Catalyst has problems itself or there's something else going on that I can fix myself. Any insight into these errors would be very much appreciated! PS: The app seems to run ok on Mac without crashing despite the muliple issues

When running a Mac Catalyst app that uses DocumentGroup, the app fails to display the document content. The document picker works as expected, but creating a new document or opening an existing one results in an empty window. This issue occurs regardless of whether “Optimize for Mac” or “Scale iPad” is selected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the sample project provided by Apple for building a document-based app in SwiftUI. 2. Delete the macOS version of the project. 3. Add a Mac Catalyst version of the app. 4. In the Mac Catalyst settings, select “Optimize for Mac” (the bug also appears if it is “Scale iPad”). 5. Run the project on macOS. Expected Result: The app should correctly display the content of the document when creating or opening it. Actual Result: The app opens an empty window when a new document is created or an existing one is opened. Impact: We have received multiple 1-star reviews, and our retention has dropped by two-thirds due to this issue. Environment: Xcode 16.1; macOS 15.1 & 15.2 (on 15.0 it works fine) Has anyone experienced the same issue? I filed multiple reports so far.
