crash probabilistic happed after app enter background, and our app support landscape, when crash appear, the system method:
/*
This method is called when the view controller's view's size is changed by its parent (i.e. for the root view controller when its window rotates or is resized).
If you override this method, you should either call super to propagate the change to children or manually forward the change to children.

I have some really straight forward code in a sample project. For some reason when the app launches the title is blurred obscured by scrolledgeeffect blur. If I scroll down the title goes small as it should do and all looks fine. If I scroll back to the top, just before it reaches the top the title goes large and it looks correct, but once it actually reaches/snaps to the top, is then incorrectly blurs again.
Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Is this a bug?
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
ScrollView {
VStack {
Rectangle().fill(Color.red.opacity(0.2)).frame(height: 200)
Rectangle().frame(height: 200)
Rectangle().frame(height: 200)
Rectangle().frame(height: 200)
Rectangle().frame(height: 200)
}
}
.safeAreaBar(edge: .top) {
Text("Test")
}
.navigationTitle(Title")
}
}
}
Hello everyone,
I’m currently working with the Message Filtering Extension and would really appreciate some clarification around its performance and operational constraints. While the extension is extremely powerful and useful, I’ve found that some important details are either unclear or not well covered in the available documentation.
There are two main areas I’m trying to understand better:
Machine learning model constraints within the extension
In our case, we already have an existing ML model that classifies messages (and are not dependant on Apple's built-in models). We’re evaluating whether and how it can be used inside the extension.
Specifically, I’m trying to understand:
Are there documented limits on the size of an ML model (e.g., maximum bundle size or model file size in MB)?
What are the memory constraints for a model once loaded into memory by the extension?
Under what conditions would the system terminate or “kick out” the extension due to memory or performance pressure?
Message processing timeouts and execution constraints
What is the timeout for processing a single received message?
At what point will the OS stop waiting for the extension’s response and allow the message by default (for example, if the extension does not respond in time)?
Any guidance, official references, or practical experience from Apple engineers or other developers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Environment
macOS 15.7.3
Xcode 26.1.1 / 26.2
iOS 18.5 / 26.2
iPhone 16 Pro Simulator and physical device
Problem Description
When tapping an unselected UISegmentedControl, the selected segment does not match the tapped position. Specifically, tapping the rightmost segment (index: 3) results in the leftmost segment (index: 0) being selected instead.
Conditions for Reproduction
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met:
Built with Xcode 26.x
UIDesignRequiresCompatibility is set to YES in Info.plist
UISegmentedControl is positioned using Auto Layout with leading alignment
Segments are added dynamically using insertSegment(withTitle:at:animated:)
Note: The issue does not occur when segments are defined statically in Storyboard.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a subclass of UISegmentedControl that dynamically sets segments:
class CustomSegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl {
func setSegments(titles: [String]) {
removeAllSegments()
titles.forEach { title in
insertSegment(withTitle: title, at: numberOfSegments, animated: false)
}
}
}
In the ViewController, configure the control:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
segmentedControl.setSegments(titles: ["Item A", "Item B", "Item C", "Item D"])
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControl.noSegment
}
Set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to YES in Info.plist:
<key>UIDesignRequiresCompatibility</key>
<true/>
Run the app and tap the rightmost segment ("Item D")
Expected vs Actual Behavior
Expected
Actual
Tap rightmost segment
"Item D" (index: 3) is selected
"Item A" (index: 0) is selected
What I Tried (Did Not Work)
Calling layoutIfNeeded() after adding segments:
segmentedControl.setSegments(titles: ["Item A", "Item B", "Item C", "Item D"])
segmentedControl.layoutIfNeeded() // No effect
Workarounds
Set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility to NO (enables Liquid Glass design)
Define segments statically in Storyboard instead of dynamically

Feedback Assistant
This issue has been reported via Feedback Assistant: FB21712773
Has anyone else encountered this issue or found alternative workarounds?
I'm sending local push notifications and want to show specific content based on the id of any notification the user opens. I'm able to do this with no issues when the app is already running in the background using the code below.
final class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
let container = AppContainer()
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.delegate = self
return true
}
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: () -> Void) {
container.notifications.handleResponse(response)
completionHandler()
}
}
However, the delegate never fires if the app was terminated before the user taps the notification. I'm looking for a way to fix this without switching my app lifecycle to UIKit.
This is a SwiftUI lifecycle app using UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor.
@main
struct MyApp: App {
@UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
I’m aware notification responses may be delivered via launchOptions on cold start, but I’m unsure how to bridge that cleanly into a SwiftUI lifecycle app without reverting to UIKit.
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a persistent issue for months now where I'm unable to download the iOS 26 simulator Runtime. I've tried reinstalling Xcode and also Xcode Beta but same issue.
iOS 26 Simulator is also not on developers download page, so manual installation is impossible. And sadly I can't compile any code without having iOS 26 simulator installed.
Anyone able to get passed this?

We operate a native iOS app that authenticates users via the system browser using OIDC against a 3rd party SaaS authentication broker, which then performs authentication against the individual customer IdPs using SAML within the browser session, and then completes the OIDC login between the broker and our application.
Our application initiates the OIDC login using ASWebAuthenticationSession, using the broker’s library, against the broker, and at that point the authentication workflow is handled by the broker. At the beginning of the login session, the broker sets a session-identifying cookie for their domain, before redirecting the user to their company’s identity provider to authenticate, which then redirects the user back to the broker.
Intermittently, Mobile Safari does not include that previously set cookie on the final communication with the broker, when being redirected from the IdP as the final step of the SAML portion of the login workflow. When the cookie is missing, the broker cannot correlate the authentication response to the original request and the login fails, even though the user successfully authenticated at their identity provider. The same user can sometimes find success after retrying on the same device minutes later, without any changes.
When we first started diagnosing this issue, we were seeing about a 20% rate of these errors across all Mobile Safari logins, which we can identify fairly conclusively (from provider logs, based on their guidance) as being caused by the session cookie set in one request not being provided on the subsequent request to the same domain.
Our authentication broker provider has indicated, based on their server logs, and logs from an affected device, that this behavior is caused by Mobile Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Protection (ITP) causing Mobile Safari to not send the login session cookie to the broker when handling the SAML redirect from the IdP back to them.
Our authentication broker provider recommended that we switch the SAML Request binding setting from POST to Redirect in the SAML configurations against our customer IdPs, which reduced the rate of these errors to about 5% for most of our customers. However, we have at least one customer which is still seeing about a 20% rate in these errors for Mobile Safari logins after this change, and even a 5% error rate seems high.
Our authentication broker has not been able to suggest any further remediation options, and has suggested we contact Apple for assistance.
Our questions are:
Is it reasonable to assume that ITP is causing this issue?
Is there any way to confirm, conclusively, that ITP has caused a previously-set cookie to not be provided on a subsequent request to the same domain, i.e. via device logs?
If so, are there any steps which can be taken to reduce or eliminate this error?
Changes to how ASWebAuthenticationSession is invoked?
Changes to the Authentication Broker which would reduce the chance of ITP being triggered?
Changes to the Customer IdP configuration which would reduce the chance of ITP being triggered?
During Apple Pay in-app provisioning (EV_ECC_v2), our iOS app successfully obtains the issuer provisioning certificates and generates cryptographic material. The flow fails when Apple posts the card blob to Apple’s broker (card creation step), returning HTTP 500 from .../broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards.
Steps:
Call issuerProvisioningCertificates?encryptionVersion=EV_ECC_v2
→ 200 OK; returns ECC leaf + Apple Root CA chain; nonce=2a831be4.
2. Build {encryptedCardData, activationData, ephemeralPublicKey}
3. POST /broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards
Expected: 200 OK on /broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards, or 5xx with a descriptive error if payload/cryptography is invalid.
Observed: 500 Internal Server Error from Apple broker on /cards (labeled “eligibility” in PassKit logs), causing a terminal failure in Wallet UI.
Hi everyone,
I’ve filed a Feedback report (FB20986470) for a serious issue affecting the Call Directory database when add phone numbers for call blocking.
When adding blocking numbers to a Call Directory extension, the system’s CallKit database (/private/var/mobile/Library/CallDirectory/CallDirectory.db) becomes corrupted.
The reload call (reloadExtensionWithIdentifier) fails with error code 11 when the system tries to insert blocking entries, and the Console app on macOS shows the following errors:
database corruption page 2265525 of /private/var/mobile/Library/CallDirectory/CallDirectory.db at line 81343 of [f0ca7bba1c]
database corruption at line 79387 of [f0ca7bba1c]
Error Domain=com.apple.callkit.database.sqlite Code=11 "sqlite3_step for query 'INSERT INTO PhoneNumberBlockingEntry (extension_id, phone_number_id) VALUES (?, (SELECT id FROM PhoneNumber WHERE (number = ?))), (?, (SELECT id FROM PhoneNumber WHERE (number = ?))),...)'"
After this happens, CallKit becomes fully corrupted on the device and no further numbers can be added, even after:
Disabling and re-enabling the extension
Restarting the device (either force or soft restart)
Reinstalling the app
Waiting for a couple of minutes after this issue happens (that CallKit could possibly self-recovered)
I also tested other call-blocking apps, and they all fail with the same error. The only thing that recovers the system is a full “Reset All Settings.”
This issue has been reported by many users of my app, across multiple iOS versions and devices.
Similar related issue reported by another developer:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/806129
Steps to Reproduce:
Enable the Call Directory extension from a call-blocking app.
Add and reload blocking numbers (a few thousand entries).
Perform multiple reloads between additions.
Check the Console, the corruption errors appear.
From this point, all insert attempts fail system-wide.
Expected Result:
Entries should be inserted successfully, or the system should self-recover without persistent corruption.
Actual Result:
sqlite3_step fails with Code=11, and the Call Directory database remains corrupted until the user resets all settings.
Additional Notes:
All numbers are sorted and deduplicated before insertion.
Happens intermittently after multiple reloads.
The system log always shows internal database failure.
Environment:
Device: iPhone 16 Plus
iOS 18.2 Beta (23C5027f)
Xcode 16.1 (17B55)
Attachments (included in Feedback FB20986470):
sysdiagnose captured immediately after the failure (with Phone app General Profile)
It seems like a system-level corruption affecting all Call Directory extensions once it occurs.
I encountered a bug with drag-and-drop sorting in ios 26.
I created a UITableView for dragging and dropping to adjust the order of the list. However, when I set the height of the cells to a custom height, some cells were not displayed during the dragging process.
The tools I use are the official version of Xcode16.1 and the ios 26 emulator
And I can also reproduce the same problem on the real device.

For a long time our app had this creation of a URLRequest:

Hi,
In our app we are using DeviceCheck (App Attest) in a production environment iOS. The service works correctly for most users, but a user reported failure in a flow that use device check service. This failure is not intermittently, it is constant.
We are unable to reproduce this failure and we are believing that this failure occurred by new version ios 26.3 because for others users using early versions the service is normally.
Environment
iOS 26.3
Real device
App Attest capability enabled
Correct App ID, Team ID and App Attest entitlement
Production environment
Characteristics:
appears constantly
affects only unique user
-Don't resolves after time or reinstall
not reproducible on our test devices
NSError contains no additional diagnostic info (Error Domain=com.apple.devicecheck.error Code=3 "(null)")
We saw about this error code 3 in this post 812308, but it's not our case because the ios version in this case is not iOS 17.0 or earlier.
Please, help us any guidance for solution. Thank you
I currently have a iOS app live on the App Store but I also want to release it on Android, the whole code is in Swift so would that be possible or would I have to rewrite my whole apps code in a different coding language.
Summary
I am seeking clarification regarding an App Store rejection under Guideline 4.2 – Design – Minimum Functionality, specifically around expectations for booking and payment flows in apps that rely on third-party, industry-standard reservation platforms.
This app is a production application for a licensed transportation (black car / limo) service. It includes multiple native iOS features implemented via Capacitor and custom Swift plugins. However, the booking and payment flow depends on a third-party transportation platform (RideBits) that does not currently support deep linking with prefilled parameters or programmatic booking APIs.
Before committing to a significant architectural change, I am hoping to understand whether Apple’s expectation under Guideline 4.2 is that all transactional booking and payment flows must be fully native and controlled by the app developer, even when third-party systems are operationally required.
⸻
App Context
The app is designed for a real transportation business and is not a content, marketing, or browsing application. It is purpose-built for trip booking, pickup coordination, and customer interaction.
The third-party platform (RideBits) handles:
• Dispatch and driver assignment
• Vehicle inventory and pricing rules
• Payment processing
• Trip lifecycle management
This platform is central to business operations and is commonly used in this industry.
⸻
Native Functionality Implemented
The app includes meaningful native iOS functionality beyond web content, including:
• Native Core Location access (with permission handling)
• Native reverse geocoding using CLGeocoder via a custom Swift Capacitor plugin
• Native clipboard integration
• Native iOS share sheet integration
• Apple Maps deep linking
• Custom CAPBridgeViewController with explicit plugin registration
All native plugins were verified at runtime and tested on physical devices and simulators.
⸻
Booking Flow Constraint
The third-party platform does not currently support:
• Deep links with prefilled booking parameters
• Passing pickup/dropoff data via URL
• Native SDK embedding
• APIs for programmatic booking creation
As a result, even when pickup data is collected natively, users must re-enter details within the booking flow.
⸻
App Review Outcome
Despite adding additional native functionality, the app was rejected again under Guideline 4.2, with feedback stating the experience is not sufficiently differentiated from web browsing and that features such as Core Location or sharing alone are not robust enough.
⸻
Clarification Requested
I am hoping to better understand Apple’s expectations in this scenario:
1. Is Apple’s expectation that core booking and payment flows must be fully native to satisfy Guideline 4.2, regardless of industry-standard third-party dependencies?
2. Would an app be considered acceptable if the booking UI is native, but final transaction submission occurs through a third-party system?
3. Are there known precedents for service or transportation apps using third-party booking platforms that have successfully passed review?
4. Is the issue primarily technical (missing native features), or conceptual (core value relies on an external flow)?
⸻
Purpose of This Post
Before undertaking a major rebuild of pricing, payments, and booking logic in-house, I want to ensure there is no App Store–acceptable architecture that allows:
• Meaningful native functionality, and
• Continued use of a third-party operational booking platform.
Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.
今天上午开始TestFlight一直都是processing。
My app allows to save user-selected URLs in a list and browse them with a tap. A user reported that the app often shows that when browsing their saved entry for "On My iPad", it's apparently empty (it contains no files).
I saved "On My iPad" in my own list some time ago and noticed that the same issue occurs. The URL seems to be correctly resolved from the saved bookmark data, but I noticed that url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() returns false. The other URL I saved some time ago is iCloud Drive, which I can access without issues. If I select "On My iPad" again in a file importer, create new bookmark data from it and resolve the URL from it, access works correctly.
I create bookmark data like this:
let data = try url.bookmarkData(includingResourceValuesForKeys: [.localizedNameKey, .pathKey, .volumeIsLocalKey])
and resolve URLs like this:
let url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: data, bookmarkDataIsStale: &bookmarkDataIsStale)
bookmarkDataIsStale is false for both the working and not working URLs for "On My iPad". The two bookmark data are different though, even if url.path is the same.
What could be the issue?
It has been approximately three weeks since we submitted our app for review via App Store Connect, but it remains "In Review" and the review process has not been completed.
For this reason, we also requested an expedited app review to the App Review Team last week.
Will the review proceed if we simply wait?
Is there any way to check the detailed status of this app review?
I am seeing a regression with XCUIDevice.shared.appearance = .dark in UI tests that only affects xcodebuild, not Xcode’s UI test runner.
Setup
• UI tests written using XCTest
• Dark mode forced in setUp() using:
XCUIDevice.shared.appearance = .dark
• Tests target an iOS simulator
• Same test target, same scheme
Expected behavior
The app launches in Dark Mode for UI tests, as it did previously.
Actual behavior
• When running UI tests from Xcode (Product > Test), Dark Mode is applied correctly.
• When running the same UI tests via xcodebuild test, Dark Mode is ignored and the app launches in Light Mode.
• No test failures, no warnings, no logs indicating the appearance override was skipped.
Regression details
• This used to work on older iOS versions when running via xcodebuild.
• The regression appears after updating iOS simulators (exact version boundary still unclear).
• No relevant changes were made to the test code, scheme, or CI configuration.
• xcodebuild otherwise launches and runs UI tests normally.
Notes
• The issue is specific to XCUIDevice.shared.appearance.
• Other UI test functionality behaves as expected.
• This makes CI results inconsistent with local Xcode runs and breaks visual assumptions in snapshot and layout-based tests.
Question
Is this a known regression or an intentional behavior change in recent iOS / Xcode versions?
If intentional, what is the supported way to reliably force Dark Mode in UI tests when running via xcodebuild?
This currently makes xcodebuild-based CI UI testing unreliable compared to Xcode’s test runner.
Introduction:
I’m encountering a consistent crash in production on iOS 26.2 (build 23C55). The crash occurs deep within libicucore when calling [NSDateFormatter dateFromString:].
Crash Summary:
Exception Type: SIGSEGV (SEGV_ACCERR)
Fault Address: 0xffffffff
Thread: Crashed on Main Thread (Thread 0)
Library: libicucore.A.dylib
Code Snippet:
The crash is triggered by the following method. It converts a string to an NSDate using a specific format and locale:
// 获取日期date
- (NSDate *)getDateWithTime:(NSString *)time formatter:(NSString *)formatterStr {
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:formatterStr];
formatter.timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"Asia/Shanghai"];
formatter.locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"];
return [formatter dateFromString:time];
}
Backtrace:
