Keyboard fails to appear after converting app to UIScene lifecycle
Getting this in log any time I try to start typing anything into a UITextField: First responder issue detected: non-key window attempting reload - allowing due to manual keyboard (first responder window is <UIWindow: 0x10e016880; frame = (0 0; 1133 744); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x10ba53850>; backgroundColor = <UIDynamicProviderColor: 0x108563370; provider = <NSMallocBlock: 0x11755bd50>>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x10ba84190>>, key window is ) I'm suspicious of the empty "key window is" field. Everything else in the app is working fine. But I cannot figure out why this fails to show the keyboard, and no keyboard notifications are being received by the app. What could it be?

How can you have a framework which uses a 3rd party dependency and an app that uses the framework and also the same dependency?
Is this setup possible / have a solution: There is a .xcframework F, which uses a 3rd party library, lets call it L. There is an app which uses the xcframework The app also uses L Both the app and F use SPM to integrate L F is using L for its own internal purposes. F is providing some functionality to the app. How it implements that ideally should be a black box from the app's perspective. The app also happens to use L for its own purposes. I can't get this set up working, always get warnings about duplicate symbols when running the App. This will presumably be due to the fact there are separate copies of L in both F and A. So how can that be eliminated? Can F not statically like to L and use the App's version of L at runtime? If so how can Xcode be configured so that F can actually compile? Or vice versa - can the App not statically link in its own copy of L and use that in the framework? If so, similar questions, how to configure Xcode to set this up? I can't believe this is an obscure use case, yet after days of searching and reading documentation I can't find any solution. Note that I was able to get this going when the app and the framework used Cocoapods to integrate L, but I just can't do similarly if the use of Cocoapods is replaced with SMP. When using cocoapods, within the frameworks Xcode section, the pods framework is set to Do Not Embed. This is probably the vital difference between the working Cocoapods implementation and the not working SPM solution. However, when using SPM Xcode doesn't present any option to either embed nor not embed the dependency. Why not? Can it somehow be set to not embed?

Is it possible to embed dependencies within a .xcframework?
I'm creating a .xcframework in order to deliver an api/functionality to a customer for inclusion into an app. I'm doing it as a .xcframework as I want it to be a binary so that the source code isn't accessable. The xcframework has dependencies on modules which are installed via SPM (there are a few, an example is PhoneNumberKit) When I build the xcframework and then add it to a test program and invoke its api then there's a run time error saying "PhoneNumberKit/resource_bundle_accessor.swift:44: Fatal error: unable to find bundle named PhoneNumberKit_PhoneNumberKit" How can I build the xcframework so that its dependencies are included within it? (Stepping back a bit, is an xcframework an appropriate approach for this?)

Does "Locked and hidden apps" feature of iOS 18 support deep link?
Our app includes showing external web service with WebView or Safari and returning to the app with custom URL scheme or universal link. When we set "Hide and Require Face ID" feature which was available on iOS 18, neither custom URL scheme nor universal link activated the app. If we only set "Require Face ID", the deep link worked properly. Here is what we've tried: Define custom URL scheme or universal link in the app https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/defining-a-custom-url-scheme-for-your-app https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/supporting-universal-links-in-your-app Implement external web service with one of the following frameworks ASWebAuthenticationSession https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/aswebauthenticationsession/ SFSafariViewController https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/sfsafariviewcontroller Safari WKWebView https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview On iOS 18 device, install the app and set "Hide and Require Face ID" Access external web page and tap the link which activates custom URL scheme or universal link We expected the deep link to work, but the results were: Custom URL scheme & ASWebAuthenticationSession/SFSafariViewController/Safari The system shows "Cannot open the page because the address is invalid" Custom URL scheme & WKWebView Nothing happens when tapping the link Universal link Directed to the server with associated domain file, but the system doesn't call the app which is defined in the associated domain file We tested the feature with the app built with Xcode16 beta 6, and the device with iOS 18 Seed 8(22A5350a). Does hide app feature support custom URL scheme and universal link?

How to initialize OpenIntent parameter when returning OpensIntent in perform
I have an app that lets you create cars. I have a CarEntity, an OpenCarIntent, and a CreateCarIntent. I want to support the Open When Run option when creating a car. I understand to do this, you just update the return type of your perform function to include & OpensIntent, then change your return value to include opensIntent: OpenCarIntent(target: carEntity). When I do this, I get a compile-time error: Cannot convert value of type 'CarEntity' to expected argument type 'IntentParameter<CarEntity>' What am I doing wrong here? struct CreateCarIntent: ForegroundContinuableIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Create Car" @Parameter(title: "Name") var name: String @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<CarEntity> & OpensIntent { let managedObjectContext = PersistenceController.shared.container.viewContext let car = Car(context: managedObjectContext) car.name = name try await managedObjectContext.perform { try managedObjectContext.save() } let carEntity = CarEntity(car: car) return .result( value: carEntity, opensIntent: OpenCarIntent(target: carEntity) // FIXME: Won't compile ) } } struct OpenCarIntent: OpenIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Open Car" @Parameter(title: "Car") var target: CarEntity @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { await UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "carapp://cars/view?id=\(target.id)")!) return .result() } }

Is it possible to scan for nearby WiFi networks and connect to a device in AP mode on iOS?
In our iOS application, we need to list available WiFi networks so that users can select one for device configuration. Here's the workflow: Initially, the hardware device acts as a WiFi Access Point (AP). The app should scan for nearby WiFi networks to detect the device's AP. The app connects temporarily to this AP and sends the selected WiFi credentials to the device. The device then connects to the selected WiFi network and stops broadcasting its AP. Is this flow achievable on iOS? We understand that Apple restricts access to WiFi scanning APIs — are there any supported methods (e.g., using NEHotspotHelper) or entitlements (such as MFi) that could enable this?

Xcode26 build app with iOS26, UITabBarController set CustomTabBar issue
Our project using UITabBarController and set a custom tabbar using below code: let customTabBar = CustomTabBar(with: dataSource) setValue(customTabBar, forKey: "tabBar") But when using Xcode 26 build app in iOS 26, the tabbar does not show: above code works well in iOS 18: below is the demo code: AppDelegate.swift: import UIKit @main class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { let window: UIWindow = UIWindow() func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { window.rootViewController = TabBarViewController() window.makeKeyAndVisible() return true } } CustomTabBar.swift: import UIKit class CustomTabBar: UITabBar { class TabBarModel { let title: String let icon: UIImage?

iOS 26 Download Link is Broken
I'm trying to download the iOS 26 restore image for my iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is my test device. However, when I attempted to install it directly via the over-the-air (OTA) update, the iPhone rebooted to the iOS 26 "Welcome" screen, but with no touch functionality—the screen was completely unresponsive. I restored the device back to iOS 18.5 and tried the OTA update again, but once more, the touch screen stopped working upon completion. Now, I am trying to download the iOS 26 restore image from the official developer page (https://developer.apple.com/download/#ios-restore-images-ipad-new) to install it manually using my Mac. However, I've run into a problem with the download links: The link for the iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) restore image actually downloads the iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 18.5) image. Conversely, the link for the iPhone 14 Pro seems to provide the correct iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) image. The issue is that when I try to restore my iPhone using this seemingly correct file, I receive an error that the firmware file is not valid or compatible. I suspect it's not being properly signed by Apple for my device during the restore process. Does anyone have the correct, official download link for the iOS 26 restore image for the iPhone 14 Pro Max? How can I fix these errors?

VoiceOver navigation in carousels
Hi all, I’ve got a usability question about accessibility navigation. My app has a lot of carousels (horizontally scrolling lists of content with far more elements than can fit on the screen). Often, these are just images, but sometimes, they’re cards with multiple subelements. In our previous implementation, each card was a single accessibility element, and we exposed the subelements as accessibility custom actions. Despite this, users frequently mentioned navigating with VoiceOver as a pain point. It takes a long time to navigate through and navigate past these carousels. To solve this, I converted my carousels into a single adjustable element, so users can navigate through it with one swipe, and they can still access the elements by adjusting the values up and down. I got this advice from this 2018 WWDC talk. Is this still the recommended advice? Or is there a new, preferred way to do this? Additionally, I had to get a little creative with the second carousel, the one with multiple subelements. Some of these were interactive (imagine a card with a description, an upvote button, and a downvote button). Adjustable elements override the accessibility custom actions VoiceOver gesture, so I can’t expose the individual buttons as actions. Instead, I made each subelement in each card in the carousel one of the adjustable values. Swiping up would go from description 1 to upvote button 1 to downvote button 1 to description 2, etc. Double tapping with VoiceOver would perform whatever action the carousel is currently on. So if I adjust the value to the element at index 2 (say, downvote 1), double tapping would trigger the downvote button’s action. Does this make sense? Is there a better way to do this? This seemed to be the best compromise between screenreader navigation speed, exposing all actions, and the existing UI.

iOS26 beta ToolbarItem with placement to principal width is not fill to screen
I’m trying to add a TextField to the toolbar using .principal placement, and I want it to either fill the screen width or expand based on the surrounding content. However, it’s not resizing as expected — the TextField only resizes correctly when I provide a hardcoded width value. This behavior was working fine in previous versions of Xcode, but seems to be broken in Xcode 26. Not sure if this is an intentional change or a bug. i am using iOS26 beta and Xcode 26 beta struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) { HStack { TextField("Search", text: .constant("")) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) // .frame(width: 300) Button("cancel") { } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } } } } #Preview { NavigationView { ContentView() } }

Feedback on the new Camera app icon in iOS 26
I’m currently using the iOS 26 Developer Beta and noticed the new icon design for the Camera app. Personally, I preferred the previous icon it looked cleaner, more elegant, and felt more in line with Apple’s signature iOS design language. The new icon feels more like something you’d expect from Android. It lacks the minimalist, refined style that usually defines iOS icons. I understand UI evolves over time, but this change feels like a step away from what makes Apple’s design philosophy unique. Just wanted to share this honest feedback as a long-time user and developer. Thanks for considering!

How to replace layoutManager with textLayoutManager for a flexible dynamic height UITextView
In order to create a UITextView like that of the Messages app whose height grows to fits its contents (number of lines), I subclassed UITextView and customized the intrinsicContentSize like so: override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize { var size = super.intrinsicContentSize if size.height == UIView.noIntrinsicMetric { layoutManager.glyphRange(for: textContainer) size.height = layoutManager.usedRect(for: textContainer).height + textContainerInset.top + textContainerInset.bottom } return size } As noted at WWDC, accessing layoutManager will force TextKit 1, we should instead use textLayoutManager. How can this code be migrated to support TextKit 2?

How to report Xcode 26 / iOS 26 bugs with Feedback Assistant?
I'm running macOS 15.5. I now have Xcode 26 and I'm testing my iOS app against iOS 26. I've encountered several UIKit / iOS 26 bugs I'd like to report. In Feedback Assistant I choose "Developer Technologies & SDKs". Eventually I get asked "What build does the issue occur on?". The list of choices is: iOS 18.2 Seed 4 iOS 18.1.1 iOS 17.7.2 An earlier iOS build I'm not sure So how to I report this as an iOS 26 beta 1 issue?
