We got an app for iPad which has two targets one for the App itself (MainApp target ) and another one for the Driver ( Driver Target ) using DriverKit. The app works fine in Development, but I'm trying to distribute it with adhoc. I've requested the Distribution Entitlement to Apple, after getting it, the App Id for the Driver has the following Capabilities: DriverKit, DriverKit (development), DriverKit USB Transport (development), DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID, In-App Purchase Now in the profile section, I've created a adhoc profile for the Driver AppId (Identifier). Obviously I've also created an Adhoc profile for the Main AppId Finally in the Signing & Capabilities Section I set up the profiles for MainApp target, int the Debug one I set up the Development one and int the Release one I set up the adhoc one. I do the same in the Driver Target, but when I set up the Adhoc one in the Release, I've got a warning: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile Also interestingly the Signing Certificate section says: None I also set up the Capabilities for the Driver Target: DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID DriverKit USB Transport ( Development ) Inside these capabilities I set up the vendor ID as dictionary The problem is, if I try to Archive the app I will get the previous Warning message as error: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks

I have following code and made it invoke every time when a UIViewController presents another UIViewController through method swizzling. When I try to access the Password management app while input password, these code will be invoked and the presenting VC is instance of UITrackingElementWindowController. It will crash [presentingVC beginAppearanceTransition:NO animated:NO]; [presentingVC endAppearanceTransition];

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?

All of these issues appear when the search controller is set on the view controller's navigationItem and the search controller's searchBar has its scopeButtonTitles set. So far the following issues are affecting my app on iOS/iPadOS 26 as of beta 7: When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .integratedButton, and the searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration is set to false (forcing the search icon to appear in the nav bar), on both iPhones and iPads, the scope buttons never appear. They don't appear when the search is activated. They don't appear when any text is entered into the search bar. FB19771313 I attempted to work around that issue by setting the scopeBarActivation to .manual. I then show the scope bar in the didPresentSearchController delegate method and hide the scope bar in the willDismissSearchController. On an iPhone this works though the display is a bit clunky. On an iPad, the scope bar does appear via the code in didPresentSearchController, but when any scope bar button is tapped, the search controller is dismissed. This happens when the app is horizontally regular. When the app on the iPad is horizontally compact, the buttons work but the search bar's text is not correctly aligned within the search bar. Quite the mess really. I still need to post a bug report for this issue. But if issue 1 above is fixed then I don't need this workaround. When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to .stacked, and the hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling property of the navigationItem is set to false (always show the search bar), and this is all used in a UITableViewController, then upon initial display of the view controller on an iPhone or iPad, you are unable to tap on the first row of the table view except on the very bottom of the row. The currently hidden scope bar is stealing the touches. If you activate and then cancel the search (making the scope bar appear and then disappear) then you are able to tap on the first row as expected. The initially hidden scope bar also bleeds through the first row of the table. It's faint but you can tell it's not quite right. Again, this is resolved by activating and then canceling the search once. FB17888632 When the scopeBarActivation of UISearchController is set to .onSearchActivation, the preferredSearchBarPlacement of the navigationItem is set to integrated or .integratedButton, and the toolbar is shown, then on iPhones (where the search bar/icon appears in the toolbar) the scope buttons appear (at the top of the screen) the first time the search is activated. But if you cancel the search and then activate it again, the search bar never appears a second (or later) time. On an iPad the search bar/icon appears in the nav bar and you end up with the same issue as #1 above. FB17890125 Issues 3 and 4 were reported against beta 1 and still haven't been fixed. But if issue 1 is resolved on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Mac Catalyst), then I personally won't be affected by issues 2, 3, or 4 any more (but of course all 4 issues need to be fixed). And by resolved, I mean that the scope bar appears and disappears when it is supposed to each and every time the search is activated and cancelled (not just the first time). The scope bar doesn't interfere with touch events upon initial display of the view controller. And there are no visual glitches no matter what the horizontal size class is on an iPad. I really hope the UIKit team can get these resolved before iOS/iPadOS 26 GM.

This is really odd. If you setup a UISearchController with a preferredSearchBarPlacement of .stacked and you setup the search bar with scope buttons, then when the view controller is initially displayed, the currently hidden scope buttons block touch events from reaching the main view just below the search bar. But once the search is activated and dismissed, then the freshly hidden scope buttons no longer cause an issue. This is easily demonstrated by putting a UITableViewController in a UINavigationController. Setup the table view to show a few simple rows. Then setup a search controller using the following code: func setupSearch() { // Setup a stacked search bar with scope buttons // Before the search is ever activated, the hidden scope buttons block any touches in the main view controller // in the area just below the search bar. // Once the search is activated and dismissed, the problem goes away. It seems that displaying and hiding the // scope buttons at least once fixes the issue that exists beforehand. // This issue only exists in iOS/iPadOS 26, not iOS/iPadOS 18 or earlier. let search = UISearchController(searchResultsController: UIViewController()) search.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = true search.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = true search.scopeBarActivation = .onSearchActivation // Ensure button appear immediately let searchBar = search.searchBar searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = [ "One", "Two", "Three" ] self.navigationItem.searchController = search self.navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false // Issue appears even if this is true self.navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked } When first shown, before any attempt is made to activate the search, any attempt to tap on the upper 2/3 of the first row in the table view (which is just below the search bar) fails. If you tap on the lower 1/3 of the first row it works fine. If you then activate the search (now the scope buttons appear) and then dismiss the search (now the scope buttons are hidden again), then there is no issue tapping anywhere on the first row of the table. But if you restart the app, the problem starts over again. This problem happens on any iPhone or iPad, real or simulated, running iOS/iPadOS 26 RC. This is a regression from iOS 18 or earlier.

I’m using a 9th gen iPad, updated iPadOS 26 a few weeks ago, but I can’t use the 3D background, can’t find any way to use the 3D background. Is it a system issue or is it my iPad’s issue?

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.

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.

My app is a SwiftUI document based app using DocumentGroupLaunchScene. In iOS(iPadOS) 18.4, when it launches, it has duplicate toolbar items, and when I close the current document and open other documents, it adds more duplicates. It also shows a wrong document name, which shows the first opened document name. This issue can be reproduced in the sample code (Building a document-based app with SwiftUI). I have submitted Feedback (FB17025216), but not sure if this is a known bug or if I'm missing anything.

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.

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!

Under iPadsOS 26.0 and 26.1, if a view controller is presented with a presentation style of fullScreen or pageSheet, and the view controller is setup with a UISearchController that has obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation set to true, then when cancelling the search the view controller is being dismissed when it should not be. To replicate, create a new iOS project based on Swift/Storyboard using Xcode 26.0 or Xcode 26.1. Update ViewController.swift with the following code: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground title = "Root" navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [ UIBarButtonItem(title: "Full", primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .fullScreen) })), UIBarButtonItem(title: "Page", primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .pageSheet) })), UIBarButtonItem(title: "Form", primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .formSheet) })), ] } private func showModal(with style: UIModalPresentationStyle) { let vc = ModalViewController() let nc = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc) // This triggers the double dismiss bug when set to either pageSheet or fullScreen. // If set to formSheet then it works fine. // Bug is only on iPad with iPadOS 26.0 or 26.1 beta 2. // Works fine on iPhone (any iOS) and iPadOS 18 as well as macOS 26.0 (not tested with other versions of macOS). nc.modalPresentationStyle = style self.present(nc, animated: true) } } Then add a new file named ModalViewController.swift with the following code: import UIKit class ModalViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() title = "Modal" view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground setupSearch() } private func setupSearch() { let sc = UISearchController(searchResultsController: UIViewController()) sc.delegate = self // Just for debugging - being set or not does not affect the bug sc.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = true // Critical to reproducing the bug navigationItem.searchController = sc navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked } // When the search is cancelled by tapping on the grayed out area below the search bar, // this is called twice when it should only be called once. This happens only if the // view controller is presented with a fullScreen or pageSheet presentation style. // The end result is that the first call properly dismisses the search controller. // The second call results in this view controller being dismissed when it should not be. override func dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) { print("dismiss ViewController") // Set breakpoint on the following line super.dismiss(animated: flag, completion: completion) } } extension ModalViewController: UISearchControllerDelegate { func willDismissSearchController(_ searchController: UISearchController) { print("willDissmissSearchController") } func didDismissSearchController(_ searchController: UISearchController) { print("didDismissSearchController") } } Build and run the app on a simulated or real iPad running iPadOS 26.0 or 26.1 (beta 2). A root window appears with 3 buttons in the navbar. Each button displays the same view controller but with a different modalPresentationStyle. Tap the Form button. This displays a modal view controller with formSheet style. Tap on the search field. Then tap on the grayed out area of the view controller to cancel the search. This all works just fine. Dismiss the modal (drag it down). Now tap either the Page or Full button. These display the same modal view controller with pageSheet or fullScreen style respectively. Tap on the search field. Then tap on the grayed out area of the view controller to cancel the search. This time, not only is the search cancelled, but the view controller is also dismissed. This is because the view controller’s dismiss(animated:completion:) method is being called twice. See ViewController.swift for the code that presents the modal. See ModalViewController.swift for the code that sets up the search controller. Both contain lots of comments. Besides the use of fullScreen or pageSheet presentation style to reproduce the bug, the search controller must also have its obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation property set to true. It’s the tap on that obscured background to cancel the search that results in the double call to dismiss. With the breakpoint set in the overloaded dismiss(animated:completion:) function, you can see the two stack traces that lead to the call to dismiss. When presented as a formSheet, the 2nd call to dismiss is not being made. This issue does not affect iPadOS 18 nor any version of iOS on iPhones. Nor does it affect the app using Mac Catalyst on macOS 26.0 (untested with macOS 15 or 26.1). In short, it is expected that cancelling the search in a presented view controller should not also result in the view controller being dismissed. Tested with Xcode 26.1 beta 2 and Xcode 26.0. Tested with iPadOS 26.1 beta 2 (real and simulated) and iPadOS 26.0 (simulated). A version of this post was submitted as FB20569327

My app worked correctly using iOS 18. I tried to down grade back to iOS 18, but there are no signed ipsw file available. How can I down grade my iphone back to iOS 18?

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.

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?

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.

With macOS Tahoe, Launchpad has been replaced by an App Library–style mode within Spotlight. While the alleged intention is UX consistency across the Apple ecosystem, the result is both a catastrophic usability regression and a radical break in consistency with iOS and iPadOS. Predefined App Library categorization is functionally incoherent: On iOS and now macOS, Apple’s predefined App Library categories place apps with seemingly identical functionality into unrelated groups—for example, 3D scanning tools scattered across Education, Utilities, and Productivity. Instead of making apps easier to find, this effectively creates a labyrinth that users must traverse to locate apps whose names and icons they may not recall. However Apple defines its app categories, they are not only inconsistent but also hopelessly inadequate for the long tail of real-world applications and user workflows. Loss of user control: Launchpad enabled users to group and organize applications according to their workflows. This aligns with Apple’s own Human Interface Guidelines, which emphasize user control, discoverability, and predictable behavior. The new Spotlight interface removes that flexibility, locking users into predefined categories that both impede and mislead—and cannot be overridden. Consistency across platforms is broken: If the goal was to unify iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, this approach actually undermines consistency. On iOS and iPadOS, users can still rely on a customizable Home Screen—a Launchpad-like experience—as their primary way of launching apps. In Tahoe, that option has been removed. macOS now forces users to depend exclusively on Spotlight with App Library categories, while eliminating the very feature that was consistent across platforms. Catastrophic impact on my workflow: As an interdisciplinary artist working in 2D, 3D, and time-based media, as well as coding, I make extensive use of a constantly changing array of AI tools and experiment with many new apps and web services, which I often turn into Web Apps. I cannot possibly recall the names of every native and web app on my system. I need predictable access to groups of related tools. Tahoe’s new auto-categories split those apps apart arbitrarily, slowing me down and interrupting established workflows, forcing me to navigate the aforementioned labyrinth just to find what I need. Proposal: A constructive way forward High-level objective: Simply restore Launchpad—or restore the ability to customize app categories/folders and manually assign apps to them, overriding or augmenting the predefined categories. This ensures users can launch apps according to their workflow, without needing to remember exact names or icons. Possible solutions: Allow manual subfolders within Applications, represented hierarchically in Spotlight. Provide a fullscreen Launchpad-like organizer (with uninstall via long-click, etc.), either as a replacement or toggleable option. Retain Apple’s auto-categories for those who prefer them, but let users override or augment them with their own. In summary: Tahoe eliminates a working, consistent paradigm (Launchpad/Home Screen) and forces reliance on an App Library system that categorizes poorly and cannot be customized. This is both a step backwards in functionality and a break in cross-platform consistency. A constructive solution is to restore Launchpad—or at least restore the ability for users to organize apps in ways that fit their workflows.

Hi all, Sharing a reproducible UIKit issue I’m seeing across multiple iPadOS 26 betas, with a tiny sample attached and a short video. Short video https://youtu.be/QekYNnHsfYk Tiny project https://github.com/yoasha/ListSwipeOvershootReproSwift Summary In a UISplitViewController (.doubleColumn), a UICollectionView using list layout shows a large leading-swipe overshoot when the split view is expanded (isCollapsed == false). The cell content translates roughly 3–4× the action width. Repros with appearance = .plain and .grouped Does not repro with .insetGrouped Independent of trailing provider (issue persists when trailing provider is nil) Collapsed split (compact width) behaves correctly Environment Devices: iPad Air (3rd gen), iPadOS 26.0 (23A5326a) → Repro Simulators: iPad Pro 11-inch (M4), iPadOS 26.0 beta 6 → Repro Also tested on device: iPadOS 26 beta 5, 6, 7, 8 Xcode: 26.0 beta 6 (17A5305f) Steps to reproduce Launch the sample; ensure the split is expanded (isCollapsed == false). In the secondary list, set Appearance = Plain (also repros with Grouped). Perform a leading swipe (LTR: swipe right) on any row. Actual: content shifts ~3–4× the action width (overshoot). Expected: content translates exactly the action width. Switch Appearance = InsetGrouped and repeat the leading (swipe right) gesture → correct (no overshoot).

Our project using UISplitViewController as the root view controller for whole app. And when using the xocde26 to build app in iOS26, the layout of page is uncorrect. for iPhone, when launch app and in portrait mode, the app only show a blank page: and when rotate app to landscape, the first view controller of UISplitViewController's viewControllers will float on second view controller: and this float behavior also happens in iPad: 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 { let vc = SplitViewController(primary: TabBarViewController(), secondary: ViewController()) window.rootViewController = vc window.makeKeyAndVisible() return true } } SplitViewController: import UIKit class SplitViewController: UISplitViewController { init(primary: UIViewController, secondary: UIViewController) { super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil) preferredDisplayMode = .oneBesideSecondary presentsWithGesture = false delegate = self viewControllers = [primary, secondary] } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() } } extension SplitViewController: UISplitViewControllerDelegate { } TabBarViewController.swift: import UIKit class FirstViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .red tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Home", image: UIImage(systemName: "house"), tag: 0) } } class SecondViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .purple tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Setting", image: UIImage(systemName: "gear"), tag: 1) } } class TabBarViewController: UITabBarController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let firstVC = FirstViewController() let secondVC = SecondViewController() tabBar.backgroundColor = .orange viewControllers = [firstVC, secondVC] } } ViewController.swift: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemPink } } And I have post a feedback in Feedback Assistant(id: FB18004520), the demo project code can be found there.

We are observing that for devices with iPadOS 26, table views within apps are unexpectedly auto scrolling. The issue can be reproduced as follows: The table view has enough cells to the point where not all cells can fit on the screen and the table view is scrollable User has scrolled to the bottom of the tableView and tableView.reloadData() is called. One of the following applies: The ViewController containing the tableView is embedded in a UINavigationController, and ViewController sets self.edgesForExtendedLayout = .bottom The ViewController containing the tableView is embedded in a UINavigationController, and UINavigationController sets navigationBar.isTranslucent = false The following constraints are applied to the tableView: tableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true tableView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true tableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true tableView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true After thorough testing, we've found that the bug is only present in iPads with iPadOS 26. It does not show for iPhone devices or for iPads on iPadOS 18. We are hoping that this can be fixed as it is causing poor user experience. Full code needed to reproduce the issue: Use this willConnectTo function in SceneDelegate: func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene else { return } window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene) let navigationControllerWithVC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: ViewController()) // ⚠️ CASE 1 - Comment out the .isTranslucent setter below, or set the value to true, and the scrolling issue will be gone, granted that the other issue-causing lines in ViewController.swift // are also commented. navigationControllerWithVC.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false window?.rootViewController = navigationControllerWithVC // Replace this line with window?.rootViewController = ViewController() to get rid of UINavigationController window?.makeKeyAndVisible() } Use this ViewController class that is referenced from the SceneDelegate willConnectTo function: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource { var tableView: UITableView! var safeArea: UILayoutGuide! var timer: Timer! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // ⚠️ CASE 2 - Uncomment the line below when this view is inside a UINavigationController to cause the scrolling issue. //self.edgesForExtendedLayout = .bottom tableView = UITableView() safeArea = view.layoutMarginsGuide setupTableView() timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 3.0, target: self, selector: #selector(fireTimer), userInfo: nil, repeats: true) } @objc public func fireTimer() { tableView.reloadData() print("Reloaded table") } func setupTableView() { tableView.delegate = self tableView.dataSource = self view.addSubview(tableView) tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false // ⚠️ CASE 3 - Replace view.topAnchor in the next line below with safeArea.topAnchor to see the scrolling issue, regardless if view is inside a UINavigationController. tableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true tableView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true tableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true tableView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { 40 } public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat { 50.0 } public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = UITableViewCell() cell.textLabel?.text = indexPath.row == 39 ? "END" : "Row \(indexPath.row)" return cell } public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) { tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true) } } For reproducing this on iPadOS 26 simulators, I can confirm that simulators under Xcode 26.0.1 (17A400) and Xcode 26.1 Beta (17B5025f) will show the issue. The issue is present in iPadOS 26 and iPadOS 26.1 beta. I've also submitted Apple Feedback for this (FB20357980) with all this code in a Xcode project.
