App Switcher briefly flashes or disappears on iPadOS 26.0.1
I’m experiencing a strange issue with the App Switcher on my iPad. When I swipe up from the bottom to open the App Switcher, the apps that should be running sometimes don’t appear — they briefly flash for a split second and then disappear. The App Switcher itself stays open, but it shows no app cards. Here are some details: Device: iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd generation) iPadOS version: 26.0.1 Reproducibility: Happens intermittently Steps to reproduce: Open several apps. Swipe up from the bottom and pause to show the App Switcher. Sometimes, the app cards flash for a moment and then disappear, leaving the App Switcher empty. Expected behavior: The App Switcher should display all running apps consistently. Actual behavior: The App Switcher appears, but the app cards briefly flash and disappear, leaving a blank screen. I’ve seen a few similar reports on the Apple Support Community, but I’m not sure if this is a known issue in iPadOS 26.0.1. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any confirmations or workarounds would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

[Bug] iPadOS 26: 4-Finger Fast Tap/Swipe Gesture Not Detected (Multitouch Issue)
Hi everyone I'm experiencing an issue with iPadOS 26 regarding multi-touch gesture detection. When performing a quick four-finger gesture (tap and swipe), the system often fails to recognize the input. This especially affects multi-touch gestures, such as rhythm games with difficult levels. Steps to Reproduce: Place four fingers on the screen. Perform a quick tap or a quick horizontal swipe (like the one used to switch apps). Observe whether the gesture is ignored or detected inconsistently. Expected Behavior: 4-finger multitouch gestures should be recognized regardless of gesture speed, just like previous iPadOS versions. Actual Behavior: Gestures fail to be detected when executed quickly—same gestures still work, and miss notes in rhythm games. You can check out my posts on Twitter/x and Facebook: [https://x.com/kokona_fwa/status/1978131164104728949?s=61] Facebook: [https://m.facebook.com/groups/idipad/permalink/24438964899058806/?]

AVSpeechSynthesisVoice ignores user-selected voices in iOS 26 (Regression)
We've identified a regression in iOS 26.0 and 26.1 Beta 4 where AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language:) no longer respects user-selected voices from Accessibility settings. Issue: When users select a specific voice in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices, calling AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language:) returns the system default voice instead of the user's selection. This worked correctly in iOS 18.6.2. Particularly affects: Third-party speech synthesis voices (CereProc, Grammatek, etc.) Apps relying on automatic voice selection based on user preferences Example: // User selected CereProc Heather for en-GB in Accessibility settings let voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: "en-GB") print(voice?.name) // iOS 18.6.2: "HEATHER", iOS 26: "Daniel" (system default) Interesting observation: The new Accessibility Reader feature in iOS 26 correctly uses the user-selected voice, but Tap to Speak and the API both ignore the setting. Tested methods: AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language:) AVSpeechUtterance auto-selection Reflection for new APIs All return the system default voice, not the user's preference. Filed: FB[20271264] Has anyone else encountered this? Any known workarounds to programmatically access the user's preferred voice selection?

iOS App Exists after launch
Hello, my iOS apps are exiting right after launch on a few of our iOS devices. I tried a couple of my apps that are deployed to our fleet and they do the same thing. If I run the app(s) in the Simulator it works fine and if I run the app(s) on the offending devices it works fine as well. Once I stop the run in Xcode the app on the device will not launch. I'm thinking something is missing like a certificate etc. Just not sure. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I would really like to get this fixed.

How to have clickable/tappable buttons where the toolbar is supposed to be?
I'm trying to create a UI with two button bars (top and bottom) inside the detail view of a NavigationSplitView, instead of using the built-in .toolbar() modifier. I'm using .ignoresSafeArea(.container, edges: .vertical) so the detail view can reach into that area. However, in macOS and iOS 26 the top button is not clickable/tappable because it is behind an invisible View created by the non-existent toolbar. Interestingly enough, if I apply .buttonStyle(.borderless) to the top button it becomes clickable (in macOS). On the iPad the behavior is different depending on the iPad OS version. In iOS 26, the button is tappable only by the bottom half. In iOS 18 the button is always tappable. Here's the code for the screenshot: import SwiftUI struct ContentView2: View { @State private var sidebarSelection: String? @State private var contentSelection: String? @State private var showContentColumn = true @State private var showBars = true var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { // Sidebar List(selection: $sidebarSelection) { Text("Show Content Column").tag("three") Text("Hide Content Column").tag("two") } .navigationTitle("Sidebar") } detail: { VStack(spacing: 0) { if showBars { HStack { Button("Click Me") { withAnimation { showBars.toggle() } } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, idealHeight: 50, maxHeight: 50) .background(.gray) .transition(.move(edge: .top)) } ZStack { Text("Detail View") } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity, alignment: .init(horizontal: .center, vertical: .center)) .border(.red) .onTapGesture(count: 2) { withAnimation { showBars.toggle() } } if showBars { HStack { Button("Click Me") { withAnimation { showBars.toggle() } } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, idealHeight: 50, maxHeight: 50) .background(.gray) .transition(.move(edge: .bottom)) } } .ignoresSafeArea(.container, edges: .vertical) .toolbarVisibility(.hidden) } .toolbarVisibility(.visible) } } I'm confused by this very inconsistent behavior and I haven't been able to find a way to get this UI to work across both platforms. Does anybody know how to remove the transparent toolbar that is preventing clicks/taps in this top section of the view? I'm hoping there's an idiomatic, native SwiftUI way to do it.

Software Update Enforcement Specific
When using the SoftwareUpdateEnforcementSpecific to target an update to iPad OS 18.7.1, will the update be triggered to be downloaded immediately after the iPad has an active Internet connectivity? Or, if the SoftwareUpdateSettingsAutomaticActionsObject download string is set to AlwaysOff, will this mean that the update enforced will not start downloading automatically, but only when the user decides? I am trying to understand how these two can be combined together or if they work independently, as while trying to enforce a specific version, we need to eliminate the possibility to download an iPad OS version using cellular data, as our devices have an eSIM installed and the cost of using that for the iOS updates will be quite high. Maybe there is a setting to only allow the iOS updates to be downloaded via Wi-Fi. Thanks!

Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil
Since the beta releases of iPadOS 26 we have been having some crashes about Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil We got to contact a couple of users and we found out that the crash appears when entering a screen in a UINavigationController with the iPad device connected to a Magic Keyboard. If the device is not connected to the keyboard then nothing happens and everything works ok. From our end we haven't managed to reproduce the crash so I am pasting part of the stacktrace if it can be of any help. 3 UIKitCore 0x19dfd2e14 -[_UIFocusContainerGuideFallbackItemsContainer

How to detect "Full Screen Apps" vs "Windowed Apps" multitasking?
I have an iPad app that supports multiple scenes. I discovered some issues with my app's user interface that I would like to tweak based on whether the user has setup multitasking (in iPadOS 26) as "Full Screen Apps" or "Windowed Apps". Is there any API or way to determine the current iPadOS 26 multitasking setting? I've looked at UIDevice.current.isMultitaskingSupported and UIApplication.shared.supportsMultipleScenes. Both always return true no matter the user's chosen multitasking choice. I also looked at UIWindowScene isFullScreen which was always false. I tried to look at UIWindowScene windowingBehaviors but that was always nil.

builtInLiDARDepthCamera doesn't work on the 2020 iPad Pro on iOS 26
On iOS 26.1, this throws on the 2020 iPad Pro (4th gen) but works fine on an M4 iPad Pro or iPhone 15 Pro: guard let device = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInLiDARDepthCamera, for: .video, position: .back) else { throw ConfigurationError.lidarDeviceUnavailable } It's just the standard code from Apple's own sample code so obviously used to work: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AVFoundation/capturing-depth-using-the-lidar-camera Does it fail because Apple have silently dumped support for the older LiDAR sensor used prior to the M4 iPad Pro, or is there another reason? What about the 5th and 6th gen iPad Pro, does it still work on those?

PaperKit: Correct approach for multi-page or infinite-canvas documents?
I’m trying to figure out how to extend PaperKit beyond a single fixed-size canvas. From what I understand, calling PaperMarkup(bounds:) creates one finite drawing region, and so far I have not figured out a reliable way to create multi-page or infinite canvases. Are any of these correct? Creating multiple PaperMarkup instances, each managed by its own PaperMarkupViewController, and arranging them in a ScrollView or similar paged container to represent multiple pages? Overlaying multiple PaperMarkup instances on top of PDFKit pages for paged annotation workflows? Or possibly another approach that works better with PaperKit’s design? I mean it has to be possible, right? Apple's native Preview app almost certainly uses it, and there are so many other notes apps that get this behavior working correctly, even if it requires using a legacy thing other than PaperKit. Curious if others have been able to find the right pattern for going beyond a single canvas.

iPadOS 26.1: new issue with traitCollection when changing dark mode
Since iPadOS 26.1 I notice a new annoying bug when changing the dark mode option of the system. The appearance of the UI changes, but no longer for view controllers which are presented as Popover. For these view controllers the method "traitCollectionDidChange()" is still called (though sometimes with a very large delay), but checking the traitCollection property of the view controller in there does no longer return the correct appearance (which is probably why the visual appearance of the popover doesn't change anymore). So if the dark mode was just switched on, traitCollectionDidChange() is called, but the "traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle" property still tells me that the system is in normal mode. More concrete, traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle seems to be set correctly only(!) when opening the popover, and while the popover is open, it is never updated anymore when the dark mode changes. This is also visible in the standard Apps of the iPad, like the Apple Maps App: just tap on the "map" icon at the top right to open the "Map mode" view. While the view is open, change the dark mode. All of the Maps App will change its appearance, with the exception of this "Map mode" view. Does anyone know an easy workaround? Or do I really need to manually change the colors for all popup view controllers whenever the dark mode changes? Using dynamic UIColors won't help, because these rely on the "userInterfaceStyle" property, and this is no longer correct. Bugreport: FB20928471

Installing .xcappdata to simulator in Xcode Version 26.1.1 (17B100)
I'm attempting to install a previously downloaded .xcappdata to my running application on the iPadOS Simulator (running iPadOS 26.1), but the app data won't transfer to the simulator. I've created the Xcode basic iPadOS app template, without any code modifications - adding some items to the list and downloading the .xcappdata from an attached iPad (running iPadOS 26.1). I can remove the app from the iPad and re-attach the .xcappdata to the physical iPad - no issues there. The issues I'm having is when trying to attach the app data on a simulator. Steps I've tried: Manually drag and dropping the .xcappdata file to the simulator. I get a popup saying "Simulator device failed to install application data container." Attaching the .xcappdata through Xcode in the "Edit Schemes"->Options->App Data App starts fresh without any errors or items from the .xcappdata file Installing the .xcappdata file through the command line through xcrun simctl install_app_data <SIM_DEVICE_ID> <MY_XCAPPDATA> This gives an error: Simulator device failed to install application data container. Could not get the existing data container location for the app. Container manager error code: 55 Underlying error (domain=com.apple.containermanager, code=55): Failed to install the requested app data package Could not get the existing data container location for the app. Container manager error code: 55 I can however reach the "data container location" through the xcrun simctl get_app_container command, leading me to think there are some issues with underlying permissions?

Popover Closes Automatically After Updating to iOS 26.1
After updating to iOS 26.1, the popover opened from a menu bar button closes automatically without any user interaction. When debugging, I found that onPop is being triggered on its own. This behavior did not occur in previous versions of iOS, and there have been no code changes on the app side, so I suspect this may be due to a system behavior change or a potential OS bug. main.dart import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:popover/popover.dart' as popover; void main() { runApp(const MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { const MyApp({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( backgroundColor: Colors.cyan[100], title: const Text('Popover Example'), actions: const [ Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 8.0), child: PopoverButton(), ), ], ), body: const Center(child: PopoverButton(),), ), ); } } class PopoverButton extends StatelessWidget { const PopoverButton({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return CupertinoButton( padding: EdgeInsets.zero, color: Colors.pink[100], onPressed: () async { final res = await popover.showPopover<bool>( context: context, transitionDuration: const Duration(milliseconds: 30), bodyBuilder: (context) { return SizedBox( height: 100, width: 100, child: const Center( child: Text( 'aaa', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 24, color: Colors.black), ), ), ); }, barrierDismissible: true, direction: popover.PopoverDirection.bottom, arrowHeight: 15, arrowWidth: 30, barrierColor: Colors.black.withValues(alpha: 0), constraints: BoxConstraints( maxWidth: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width, maxHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 2, ), shadow: const [ BoxShadow( color: Colors.black26, spreadRadius: 10, blurRadius: 80, offset: Offset.zero, ), ], ); }, child: const Text('menu'), ); } } pubspec.yaml description: "A new Flutter project." # The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to # pub.dev using flutter pub publish.

Erratic numberPad keyboard behaviour on iPadOS26
Number keys on iPadOS 26 register incorrect/random characters, making numeric input unreliable across all applications. Affected Versions iPadOS 26.0 through 26.1 (build 23B85) Platform-specific: Only iPadOS (iPhone doesn't present the full on-screen keyboard) Reproduction Steps Open any app with a numeric text field (For example, Apple's Contacts) Tap numeric text field - a small number-only pad appears Dismiss this small numpad (tap outside or hit return) Tap the field again - full keyboard with numbers appears Type numbers on this full keyboard Result: Numbers register as random/incorrect characters Scope Affects numeric keyboard types (.numberPad, .decimalPad ) Reproducible in Apple's native apps (Contacts or any apps that has numeric TextField) Impact Critical: Users cannot reliably enter phone numbers, passwords, financial data, or any numeric input. Other findings Keyboard starts to register correct keys when switch from the full on-screen keyboard to alphabetic page, and then back to the page with numeric keys

iPad - Can I prevent Multitasking on my app?
I have a game built in Unreal Engine 5.6 which uses tilt motion controls to rotate an object. I've restricted the app to only run in portrait for iPhone, and everything works fine, however for iPad I've had a few issues relating to multitasking and I can't seem to solve it. Forcing the app to portrait only still allows the app to run in landscape mode, but shows black bars either side of the game, and the axes for the motion controls are incorrect. X becomes Y and Y becomes X, and there's no way for my app to know which orientation it is because the container is still technically portrait. Allowing my game to run in all orientations makes the whole app more presentable, it doesn't add black bars and the game is still functional and I'm able to map the controls correctly because the game knows it's landscape rather than portrait. The problem with allowing my app to run in landscape mode is if multitasking is enabled on the ipad, you can resize the app to be portrait, and then I run into the same problem again where the game thinks it's portrait mode and all of the axes are wrong again. I tried getting the true orientation of the device rather than the scene, but the game is intended to be played flat so instead of returning the orientation of the OS the orientation is FaceUp, which doesn't help. I need to either disable multitasking or find a way of getting the orientation of the OS (not the scene or the device). I haven't found how to get the OS orientation so I've been trying to disable multitasking. I've got Requires Fullscreen true and UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScreens false in my info.plist but my iPad still seems to allow the window to be resized in landscape view. Opening the IOS workspace of my project Requires Fullscreen is ticked but under that it says "Supports Multiple Windows" and the arrow button next to it takes my to my info.plist values, but no indication of how I can change it. I'm using Unreal Engine 5.6 and Xcode 16.0. Xcode is old I know, but this version of unreal engine doesn't seem to support any newer.

.glasseffect with multiple date pickers
Hello, I'm having a problem with the .glasseffect modifier in a view of a SwiftUI application. I have a list that starts with a static element, followed by several dynamic entries, and then another static element. I've applied the .glasseffect modifier to all the elements, and it works fine except for the first static element. I think I've figured out what's causing it. This element contains two date pickers, and if I comment one out, it works. As soon as both are present, I get a BAD_ACCESS_ERROR. Oddly enough, this only happens on the tablet. Everything runs normally in the simulator. If I remove the .glassmodifier and use a normal background, it still works. Is this a bug, or is it against Liquid Glass to have two date pickers in a stack and then use the .glasseffect modifier?

Paste button on navigation bar is not shown on iOS/iPadOS 26
The Paste button (using UIPasteControll) located on UINavigationBar is not shown at application startup on iOS/iPadOS 26. This issue will disappear when device is rotated or window size is changed. And this issue does not occur on iOS / iPadOS 18 and earlier. I uploaded the sample project to github at the following URL. https://github.com/gpn-galapagos/PasteButtonApp.git Has anyone had the same issue or knows a workaround?

App Switcher briefly flashes or disappears on iPadOS 26.0.1
I’m experiencing a strange issue with the App Switcher on my iPad. When I swipe up from the bottom to open the App Switcher, the apps that should be running sometimes don’t appear — they briefly flash for a split second and then disappear. The App Switcher itself stays open, but it shows no app cards. Here are some details: Device: iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd generation) iPadOS version: 26.0.1 Reproducibility: Happens intermittently Steps to reproduce: Open several apps. Swipe up from the bottom and pause to show the App Switcher. Sometimes, the app cards flash for a moment and then disappear, leaving the App Switcher empty. Expected behavior: The App Switcher should display all running apps consistently. Actual behavior: The App Switcher appears, but the app cards briefly flash and disappear, leaving a blank screen. I’ve seen a few similar reports on the Apple Support Community, but I’m not sure if this is a known issue in iPadOS 26.0.1. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any confirmations or workarounds would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

[Bug] iPadOS 26: 4-Finger Fast Tap/Swipe Gesture Not Detected (Multitouch Issue)
Hi everyone I'm experiencing an issue with iPadOS 26 regarding multi-touch gesture detection. When performing a quick four-finger gesture (tap and swipe), the system often fails to recognize the input. This especially affects multi-touch gestures, such as rhythm games with difficult levels. Steps to Reproduce: Place four fingers on the screen. Perform a quick tap or a quick horizontal swipe (like the one used to switch apps). Observe whether the gesture is ignored or detected inconsistently. Expected Behavior: 4-finger multitouch gestures should be recognized regardless of gesture speed, just like previous iPadOS versions. Actual Behavior: Gestures fail to be detected when executed quickly—same gestures still work, and miss notes in rhythm games. You can check out my posts on Twitter/x and Facebook: [https://x.com/kokona_fwa/status/1978131164104728949?s=61] Facebook: [https://m.facebook.com/groups/idipad/permalink/24438964899058806/?]

AVSpeechSynthesisVoice ignores user-selected voices in iOS 26 (Regression)
We've identified a regression in iOS 26.0 and 26.1 Beta 4 where AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language:) no longer respects user-selected voices from Accessibility settings. Issue: When users select a specific voice in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices, calling AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language:) returns the system default voice instead of the user's selection. This worked correctly in iOS 18.6.2. Particularly affects: Third-party speech synthesis voices (CereProc, Grammatek, etc.) Apps relying on automatic voice selection based on user preferences Example: // User selected CereProc Heather for en-GB in Accessibility settings let voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: "en-GB") print(voice?.name) // iOS 18.6.2: "HEATHER", iOS 26: "Daniel" (system default) Interesting observation: The new Accessibility Reader feature in iOS 26 correctly uses the user-selected voice, but Tap to Speak and the API both ignore the setting. Tested methods: AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language:) AVSpeechUtterance auto-selection Reflection for new APIs All return the system default voice, not the user's preference. Filed: FB[20271264] Has anyone else encountered this? Any known workarounds to programmatically access the user's preferred voice selection?

iOS App Exists after launch
Hello, my iOS apps are exiting right after launch on a few of our iOS devices. I tried a couple of my apps that are deployed to our fleet and they do the same thing. If I run the app(s) in the Simulator it works fine and if I run the app(s) on the offending devices it works fine as well. Once I stop the run in Xcode the app on the device will not launch. I'm thinking something is missing like a certificate etc. Just not sure. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I would really like to get this fixed.

How to have clickable/tappable buttons where the toolbar is supposed to be?
I'm trying to create a UI with two button bars (top and bottom) inside the detail view of a NavigationSplitView, instead of using the built-in .toolbar() modifier. I'm using .ignoresSafeArea(.container, edges: .vertical) so the detail view can reach into that area. However, in macOS and iOS 26 the top button is not clickable/tappable because it is behind an invisible View created by the non-existent toolbar. Interestingly enough, if I apply .buttonStyle(.borderless) to the top button it becomes clickable (in macOS). On the iPad the behavior is different depending on the iPad OS version. In iOS 26, the button is tappable only by the bottom half. In iOS 18 the button is always tappable. Here's the code for the screenshot: import SwiftUI struct ContentView2: View { @State private var sidebarSelection: String? @State private var contentSelection: String? @State private var showContentColumn = true @State private var showBars = true var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { // Sidebar List(selection: $sidebarSelection) { Text("Show Content Column").tag("three") Text("Hide Content Column").tag("two") } .navigationTitle("Sidebar") } detail: { VStack(spacing: 0) { if showBars { HStack { Button("Click Me") { withAnimation { showBars.toggle() } } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, idealHeight: 50, maxHeight: 50) .background(.gray) .transition(.move(edge: .top)) } ZStack { Text("Detail View") } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity, alignment: .init(horizontal: .center, vertical: .center)) .border(.red) .onTapGesture(count: 2) { withAnimation { showBars.toggle() } } if showBars { HStack { Button("Click Me") { withAnimation { showBars.toggle() } } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, idealHeight: 50, maxHeight: 50) .background(.gray) .transition(.move(edge: .bottom)) } } .ignoresSafeArea(.container, edges: .vertical) .toolbarVisibility(.hidden) } .toolbarVisibility(.visible) } } I'm confused by this very inconsistent behavior and I haven't been able to find a way to get this UI to work across both platforms. Does anybody know how to remove the transparent toolbar that is preventing clicks/taps in this top section of the view? I'm hoping there's an idiomatic, native SwiftUI way to do it.

Software Update Enforcement Specific
When using the SoftwareUpdateEnforcementSpecific to target an update to iPad OS 18.7.1, will the update be triggered to be downloaded immediately after the iPad has an active Internet connectivity? Or, if the SoftwareUpdateSettingsAutomaticActionsObject download string is set to AlwaysOff, will this mean that the update enforced will not start downloading automatically, but only when the user decides? I am trying to understand how these two can be combined together or if they work independently, as while trying to enforce a specific version, we need to eliminate the possibility to download an iPad OS version using cellular data, as our devices have an eSIM installed and the cost of using that for the iOS updates will be quite high. Maybe there is a setting to only allow the iOS updates to be downloaded via Wi-Fi. Thanks!

Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil
Since the beta releases of iPadOS 26 we have been having some crashes about Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil We got to contact a couple of users and we found out that the crash appears when entering a screen in a UINavigationController with the iPad device connected to a Magic Keyboard.

How to detect "Full Screen Apps" vs "Windowed Apps" multitasking?
I have an iPad app that supports multiple scenes. I discovered some issues with my app's user interface that I would like to tweak based on whether the user has setup multitasking (in iPadOS 26) as "Full Screen Apps" or "Windowed Apps". Is there any API or way to determine the current iPadOS 26 multitasking setting? I've looked at UIDevice.current.isMultitaskingSupported and UIApplication.shared.supportsMultipleScenes. Both always return true no matter the user's chosen multitasking choice. I also looked at UIWindowScene isFullScreen which was always false. I tried to look at UIWindowScene windowingBehaviors but that was always nil.

builtInLiDARDepthCamera doesn't work on the 2020 iPad Pro on iOS 26
On iOS 26.1, this throws on the 2020 iPad Pro (4th gen) but works fine on an M4 iPad Pro or iPhone 15 Pro: guard let device = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInLiDARDepthCamera, for: .video, position: .back) else { throw ConfigurationError.lidarDeviceUnavailable } It's just the standard code from Apple's own sample code so obviously used to work: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AVFoundation/capturing-depth-using-the-lidar-camera Does it fail because Apple have silently dumped support for the older LiDAR sensor used prior to the M4 iPad Pro, or is there another reason? What about the 5th and 6th gen iPad Pro, does it still work on those?

PaperKit: Correct approach for multi-page or infinite-canvas documents?
I’m trying to figure out how to extend PaperKit beyond a single fixed-size canvas. From what I understand, calling PaperMarkup(bounds:) creates one finite drawing region, and so far I have not figured out a reliable way to create multi-page or infinite canvases. Are any of these correct? Creating multiple PaperMarkup instances, each managed by its own PaperMarkupViewController, and arranging them in a ScrollView or similar paged container to represent multiple pages? Overlaying multiple PaperMarkup instances on top of PDFKit pages for paged annotation workflows? Or possibly another approach that works better with PaperKit’s design? I mean it has to be possible, right? Apple's native Preview app almost certainly uses it, and there are so many other notes apps that get this behavior working correctly, even if it requires using a legacy thing other than PaperKit. Curious if others have been able to find the right pattern for going beyond a single canvas.

iPadOS 26.1: new issue with traitCollection when changing dark mode
Since iPadOS 26.1 I notice a new annoying bug when changing the dark mode option of the system. The appearance of the UI changes, but no longer for view controllers which are presented as Popover. For these view controllers the method "traitCollectionDidChange()" is still called (though sometimes with a very large delay), but checking the traitCollection property of the view controller in there does no longer return the correct appearance (which is probably why the visual appearance of the popover doesn't change anymore). So if the dark mode was just switched on, traitCollectionDidChange() is called, but the "traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle" property still tells me that the system is in normal mode. More concrete, traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle seems to be set correctly only(!) when opening the popover, and while the popover is open, it is never updated anymore when the dark mode changes. This is also visible in the standard Apps of the iPad, like the Apple Maps App: just tap on the "map" icon at the top right to open the "Map mode" view. While the view is open, change the dark mode. All of the Maps App will change its appearance, with the exception of this "Map mode" view. Does anyone know an easy workaround? Or do I really need to manually change the colors for all popup view controllers whenever the dark mode changes? Using dynamic UIColors won't help, because these rely on the "userInterfaceStyle" property, and this is no longer correct. Bugreport: FB20928471

Installing .xcappdata to simulator in Xcode Version 26.1.1 (17B100)
I'm attempting to install a previously downloaded .xcappdata to my running application on the iPadOS Simulator (running iPadOS 26.1), but the app data won't transfer to the simulator. I've created the Xcode basic iPadOS app template, without any code modifications - adding some items to the list and downloading the .xcappdata from an attached iPad (running iPadOS 26.1). I can remove the app from the iPad and re-attach the .xcappdata to the physical iPad - no issues there. The issues I'm having is when trying to attach the app data on a simulator. Steps I've tried: Manually drag and dropping the .xcappdata file to the simulator. I get a popup saying "Simulator device failed to install application data container." Attaching the .xcappdata through Xcode in the "Edit Schemes"->Options->App Data App starts fresh without any errors or items from the .xcappdata file Installing the .xcappdata file through the command line through xcrun simctl install_app_data <SIM_DEVICE_ID> <MY_XCAPPDATA> This gives an error: Simulator device failed to install application data container. Could not get the existing data container location for the app. Container manager error code: 55 Underlying error (domain=com.apple.containermanager, code=55): Failed to install the requested app data package Could not get the existing data container location for the app. Container manager error code: 55 I can however reach the "data container location" through the xcrun simctl get_app_container command, leading me to think there are some issues with underlying permissions?

Popover Closes Automatically After Updating to iOS 26.1
After updating to iOS 26.1, the popover opened from a menu bar button closes automatically without any user interaction. When debugging, I found that onPop is being triggered on its own. This behavior did not occur in previous versions of iOS, and there have been no code changes on the app side, so I suspect this may be due to a system behavior change or a potential OS bug. main.dart import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:popover/popover.dart' as popover; void main() { runApp(const MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { const MyApp({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( backgroundColor: Colors.cyan[100], title: const Text('Popover Example'), actions: const [ Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 8.0), child: PopoverButton(), ), ], ), body: const Center(child: PopoverButton(),), ), ); } } class PopoverButton extends StatelessWidget { const PopoverButton({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return CupertinoButton( padding: EdgeInsets.zero, color: Colors.pink[100], onPressed: () async { final res = await popover.showPopover<bool>( context: context, transitionDuration: const Duration(milliseconds: 30), bodyBuilder: (context) { return SizedBox( height: 100, width: 100, child: const Center( child: Text( 'aaa', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 24, color: Colors.black), ), ), ); }, barrierDismissible: true, direction: popover.PopoverDirection.bottom, arrowHeight: 15, arrowWidth: 30, barrierColor: Colors.black.withValues(alpha: 0), constraints: BoxConstraints( maxWidth: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width, maxHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 2, ), shadow: const [ BoxShadow( color: Colors.black26, spreadRadius: 10, blurRadius: 80, offset: Offset.zero, ), ], ); }, child: const Text('menu'), ); } } pubspec.yaml description: "A new Flutter project." # The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to # pub.dev using flutter pub publish.

Erratic numberPad keyboard behaviour on iPadOS26
Number keys on iPadOS 26 register incorrect/random characters, making numeric input unreliable across all applications. Affected Versions iPadOS 26.0 through 26.1 (build 23B85) Platform-specific: Only iPadOS (iPhone doesn't present the full on-screen keyboard) Reproduction Steps Open any app with a numeric text field (For example, Apple's Contacts) Tap numeric text field - a small number-only pad appears Dismiss this small numpad (tap outside or hit return) Tap the field again - full keyboard with numbers appears Type numbers on this full keyboard Result: Numbers register as random/incorrect characters Scope Affects numeric keyboard types (.numberPad, .decimalPad ) Reproducible in Apple's native apps (Contacts or any apps that has numeric TextField) Impact Critical: Users cannot reliably enter phone numbers, passwords, financial data, or any numeric input. Other findings Keyboard starts to register correct keys when switch from the full on-screen keyboard to alphabetic page, and then back to the page with numeric keys

iPad - Can I prevent Multitasking on my app?
I have a game built in Unreal Engine 5.6 which uses tilt motion controls to rotate an object. I've restricted the app to only run in portrait for iPhone, and everything works fine, however for iPad I've had a few issues relating to multitasking and I can't seem to solve it. Forcing the app to portrait only still allows the app to run in landscape mode, but shows black bars either side of the game, and the axes for the motion controls are incorrect. X becomes Y and Y becomes X, and there's no way for my app to know which orientation it is because the container is still technically portrait. Allowing my game to run in all orientations makes the whole app more presentable, it doesn't add black bars and the game is still functional and I'm able to map the controls correctly because the game knows it's landscape rather than portrait. The problem with allowing my app to run in landscape mode is if multitasking is enabled on the ipad, you can resize the app to be portrait, and then I run into the same problem again where the game thinks it's portrait mode and all of the axes are wrong again. I tried getting the true orientation of the device rather than the scene, but the game is intended to be played flat so instead of returning the orientation of the OS the orientation is FaceUp, which doesn't help. I need to either disable multitasking or find a way of getting the orientation of the OS (not the scene or the device). I haven't found how to get the OS orientation so I've been trying to disable multitasking. I've got Requires Fullscreen true and UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScreens false in my info.plist but my iPad still seems to allow the window to be resized in landscape view. Opening the IOS workspace of my project Requires Fullscreen is ticked but under that it says "Supports Multiple Windows" and the arrow button next to it takes my to my info.plist values, but no indication of how I can change it. I'm using Unreal Engine 5.6 and Xcode 16.0. Xcode is old I know, but this version of unreal engine doesn't seem to support any newer.

.glasseffect with multiple date pickers
Hello, I'm having a problem with the .glasseffect modifier in a view of a SwiftUI application. I have a list that starts with a static element, followed by several dynamic entries, and then another static element. I've applied the .glasseffect modifier to all the elements, and it works fine except for the first static element. I think I've figured out what's causing it. This element contains two date pickers, and if I comment one out, it works. As soon as both are present, I get a BAD_ACCESS_ERROR. Oddly enough, this only happens on the tablet. Everything runs normally in the simulator. If I remove the .glassmodifier and use a normal background, it still works. Is this a bug, or is it against Liquid Glass to have two date pickers in a stack and then use the .glasseffect modifier?

Paste button on navigation bar is not shown on iOS/iPadOS 26
The Paste button (using UIPasteControll) located on UINavigationBar is not shown at application startup on iOS/iPadOS 26. This issue will disappear when device is rotated or window size is changed. And this issue does not occur on iOS / iPadOS 18 and earlier. I uploaded the sample project to github at the following URL. https://github.com/gpn-galapagos/PasteButtonApp.git Has anyone had the same issue or knows a workaround?
