Dear Apple Customer Support, I’m developing a new Swift iPadOS app and I want the app to run in landscape only (portrait disabled). In Xcode, under Target > General > Deployment Info > Device Orientation, if I select only Landscape Left and Landscape Right, the app builds successfully, but during upload/validation I receive this message and the upload is blocked: “Update the Info.plist: Support for all orientations will soon be required.” Could you please advise what the correct/recommended way is to keep an iPad app locked to landscape only while complying with the current App Store upload requirements? Is there a specific Info.plist configuration (e.g., UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad) or another setting that should be used? Thank you,

Can I use Xcode to create a playbook for soccer to design exercises and then show the exercise to the players later at practice or a game? I need to integrate the roster with game plans and designed exercises with practice.

I am working on a Mac App that was developed with Objective C and Interface Builder. In earlier versions of Mac OS the window title was centered. Now in Tahoe it's left-justified. Is there some way to set this? There is no setting for this in Interface Builder and I can't see any way to do it programmatically by reading the developer documentation. Is this even possible?

I have an app that uses BLE to connect to access doors. Since iOS 26, when it hasn't connected to any doors for a while, it deactivates, whereas in older versions of iOS it continues to work all day without stopping. Has anyone else experienced this? I've found problems with people who have had the same issue since upgrading to the latest version of iOS 26. Is there a known issue with BLE in iOS 26? I haven't found any official information. thnks

Hello! I'm currently working on Liquid Glass support for my app. I understand that starting with iOS 26, standard buttons like "Close" or "Done" have shifted from text buttons to using SF Symbols, as mentioned in the Human Interface Guidelines under "Icons". However, on iOS 18 and earlier, the flat text button style remains the standard. I am unsure about the best approach for backward compatibility: Branch by OS version: Keep text buttons for older OS versions and use SF Symbols for iOS 26+. Concern: This increases the number of conditional branches, potentially reducing code readability and maintainability. Adopt SF Symbols universally: Use SF Symbols for all versions. Concern: I feel that SF Symbols do not fit well (look inconsistent or out of place) with the flat design language of iOS 18 and earlier. What would be the recommended approach in this situation?

I'm creating an app and I want the user to see the PNG image with the background removed in the widget, but I want the background to be transparent. I've seen this done before in some apps' CarPlay widgets. How can I do this?

When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

With iOS 26 the CPListSection header has a transparent background, and when the list scrolls under the header it doesn't look good at all. We expected to see a glass fading effect maybe, like the one on the top of the screen. Is it a known bug?

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, however with the new appearances when i use the dark appearance and then open the app "TickTick", the icon goes to its original colour until the app is closed.

: Hello, I’m seeking clarification on whether Apple provides any framework or API that enables deep integration between Siri and advanced AI assistants (such as ChatGPT), including system-level functions like voice interaction, navigation, cross-platform syncing, and operational access similar to Siri’s own capabilities. If no such option exists today, I would appreciate guidance on the recommended path or approved third-party solutions for building a unified, voice-first experience across Apple’s ecosystem. Thank you for your time and insight.

iOS simulator version 18.0+ I have a demo like this: Menu { Button { } label: { Text("Option 1") Image(systemName: "star") } Button { } label: { Text("Option 2") Image(systemName: "star") } } label: { Text("Menu") } And I used the tool Accessibility Inspector to modify the text size. Case 1: We could see the option title and the star icon. Case 2: But we could not see the icon, only the option title here Is this by design from Apple? Or does this need to be fixed? Does anyone know about my question?

I am using a common UI pattern: UITabBarController as window root, each tab with a separate UINavigationController stack. I want the (bottom!) tab bar to be only visible when the user is at the root of the app and hide it when a detail page is opened. To do that, I used hidesBottomBarWhenPushed on any view controller that would be pushed on my navigation stacks and that worked fine in the past. But with iOS 26, I am seeing several issues: On iOS where when the bottom tab bar is used, when in a details page and navigating back, the tab bar becomes fully visible immediately instead of slowly animating in as it has been in the past. This is particular visible and annoying when using the "swipe to go back" gesture On iPad, the situation is even worse: On iPadOS 18, the tab bar appeared in the navigation controller's navigation bar - no matter if hidesBottomBarWhenPushed was set or not - fine. But now, with iPadOS 26, this top tab bar disappears when a child is pushed. Not only that, it disappears abruptly, without animation, and the Liquid Glass effect on the UIBarButtonItems is broken as well. There is no transition whatsoever, buttons are simply replaced with the new UIBarButtonItems of the pushed view controller once it became fully visible. It gets even worse when swipe-back navigating on iPadOS: As soon as the back transition starts, the tab bar becomes visible again (without animation), covering the title (view) of the UINavigationController. If the swipe-back transition is not completed the tab bar suddenly stays visible When the swipe-back transition is interrupted close to the end of the transition and it goes back to the pushed view controller, the top UIBarButtonItems are showing a visual glitch where the content (text or icon) stays on the area where the tab bar is, while their container (the glass effect) are on the vertically aligned to the title view. I am surprised that I have not found any similar reports of these problems, so I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong or using hidesBottomBarWhenPushed simply isn't recommended or supported any more.

Hey, everyone. I'm having an issue with my modal shadows when building for macOS. I've attached an image to show you what's going on. I have a rounded corner window, and when the In-App Purchase overlay opens, the modal shadow of that rounded window is square (which doesn't make sense, and looks bad). Can somebody please help me address this? I've tried searching high and low for a solution but I can't find anything :-( I really appreciate you taking a look! -Logan

I’m developing a share extension for iOS 26 with Xcode 26. When the extension’s sheet appears, it always shows a full white background, even though iOS 26 introduces a new “Liquid Glass” effect for partial sheets. Expected: The sheet background should use the iOS 26 glassmorphism effect as seen in full apps. Actual behavior: Custom sheets in my app get the glass effect, but the native system sheet in the share extension always opens as plain white. Steps to reproduce: Create a share extension using UIKit Present any UIViewController as the main view Set modalPresentationStyle = .pageSheet (or leave as default) Observe solid white background, not glassmorphism Sample code: swift override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .clear preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: 300) } Troubleshooting attempted: Tried adding UIVisualEffectView with system blur/materials Removed all custom backgrounds Set modalPresentationStyle explicitly Questions: Is it possible to enable or force the Liquid Glass effect in share extensions on iOS 26? Is this a limitation by design or a potential bug? Any workaround to make extension sheet backgrounds match system glass appearance?

I’m developing a React Native application using AWS Cognito Hosted UI with Google Sign-In for authentication.My setup uses: React Native: 0.76.9 Library: react-native-app-auth version 8.0.3 Xcode Minimum Deployment Target: 13.4 The same implementation works perfectly on Android, but on iOS it behaves inconsistently. Here’s the issue: Login flow completes successfully. However, access tokens and ID tokens are often null or malformed on iOS. This results in 401 Invalid Token errors when calling backend APIs. I’ve also tried using react-native-inappbrowser-reborn, but the issue persists.I’m currently using both the client ID and reverse client ID correctly as callback URLs in Cognito’s configuration". So my questions are: "Is it better to continue using react-native-app-auth and @react-native-google-signin/google-signin with improved configuration for iOS? Or is there a more reliable approach/library for handling Cognito authentication and token management on iOS (especially for Hosted UI with Google Sign-In)? Looking forward to any suggestions or best practices from those who’ve implemented Cognito + Google Sign-In on iOS using React Native.If you’ve found a stable setup for managing tokens and callbacks on iOS, please share your approach". Thank you!

I'm experiencing an issue where my List selection (using EditButton) gets cleared when a confirmationDialog is presented, making it impossible to delete the selected items. Environment: Xcode 16.0.1 Swift 5 iOS 18 (targeting iOS 17+) Issue Description: When I select items in a List using EditButton and tap a delete button that shows a confirmationDialog, the selection is cleared as soon as the dialog appears. This prevents me from accessing the selected items to delete them. Code: State variables: @State var itemsSelection = Set<Item>() @State private var showDeleteConfirmation = false List with selection: List(currentItems, id: \.self, selection: $itemsSelection) { item in NavigationLink(value: item) { ItemListView(item: item) } } .navigationDestination(for: Item.self) { item in ItemViewDetail(item: item) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { EditButton() } } Delete button with confirmation: Button { if itemsSelection.count > 1 { showDeleteConfirmation = true } else { deleteItemsSelected() } } label: { Image(systemName: "trash.fill") .font(.system(size: 12)) .foregroundStyle(Color.red) } .padding(8) .confirmationDialog( "Delete?", isPresented: $showDeleteConfirmation, titleVisibility: .visible ) { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { deleteItemsSelected() } Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {} } message: { Text("Going to delete: \(itemsSelection.count) items?") } Expected Behavior: The selected items should remain selected when the confirmationDialog appears, allowing me to delete them after confirmation. Actual Behavior: As soon as showDeleteConfirmation becomes true and the dialog appears, itemsSelection becomes empty (count = 0), making it impossible to delete the selected items. What I've Tried: Moving the confirmationDialog to different view levels Checking if this is related to the NavigationLink interaction Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there a workaround to preserve the selection when showing a confirmation dialog?

Hello I'm trying to use a TabView inside of the Sidebar in a NavigationSplitView. I'm wanting to use .listStyle(.sidebar) in order to get the Liquid Glass effect. However I can not find a way to remove the background of the TabView without changing the behavior of the TabView itself to paging with .tabViewStyle(.page) NavigationSplitView { TabView( selection: .constant("List") ) { Tab(value: "List") { List { Text("List") } } } } detail: { } Note: I wanting change the background of the TabView container itself. Not the TabBar.

My game has been live since 2018 and I’ve been updating it recently to add some improvements because it’s been a few years (last update was 2020). I got hit with a couple of basic issues with the screenshots but I was told I can release that version anyway and fix it in a later update. I spent yesterday fixing those issues because they were minor, and resubmitted my app to review. This morning I was hit with another rejection for a new issue, 4.3(b) Design Spam. The reason being it’s a game in a saturated category (Beer Pong) and so I should reconsider the app concept. This game has been live for 7 years. In those 7 years the category may have become saturated, but it wasn’t when I originally released it, so stopping me from updating it feels extremely unfair. If this was a brand new app I would still be upset but I would understand. Another reason was that it’s based on a drinking game, and that it encourages people to drink alcohol. I stated in the age rating section that it heavily contains alcohol references, although you never actually see anyone drinking. There are Beer Pong games that feature characters drinking the beer, mine is so inextreme in comparison. What bugs me the most is if I hadn’t fixed the screenshots it would be live by now, yet I feel I’m being punished for following the rules. Can anyone on here give me some advice on how to proceed? I have to say this entire dilemma has really taken the wind out of my sails. If this update doesn't get accepted I'll have wasted about two months of development time I could've spent on a different project.

Hi there! I'm having this issue with my main windows. I'm having a big space on top of that without any logic explanation (at least for my poor knowledge).
