Description
When using UIDocumentPickerViewController with allowsMultipleSelection = false, I expect that selecting a file will dismiss only the document picker.
However, if a user quickly taps the same file multiple times, the picker dismisses both itself and the presenting view controller (i.e., it pops two levels from the view controller stack), which leads to unintended behavior and breaks presentation flow.
Expected Behavior
Only UIDocumentPickerViewController should be dismissed when a file is selected—even if the user taps quickly or multiple times on the same file.
Actual Behavior
When tapping the same file multiple times quickly, the picker dismisses not only itself but also the parent view controller it was presented from.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a simple view controller and present another one modally over it.
From that presented view controller, present a UIDocumentPickerViewController with allowsMultipleSelection = false.
Tap quickly on the same file in the picker 2 times.
Result: Both the document picker and the presenting view controller are dismissed.
Reproducible Code Snippet
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .green
addLabel("Parent View Controller")
DispatchQueue.main.async { [unowned self] in
let child = UIViewController()
child.view.backgroundColor = .yellow
present(child, animated: true)
child.addLabel("Child View Controller")
let vc = UIDocumentPickerViewController(
forOpeningContentTypes: [.pdf, .jpeg, .png],
asCopy: true
)
vc.allowsMultipleSelection = false
child.present(vc, animated: true)
}
}
}
extension UIViewController {
func addLabel(_ text: String) {
let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 50, width: view.bounds.width, height: 30))
label.text = text
view.addSubview(label)
}
}
Environment
Device: iPhone 15 Pro and others
iOS version: 18.2 (reproduces on multiple iOS versions)
Occurs with: .pdf, .jpeg, .png file types
Mode: Both simulator and real device
Notes
Happens consistently with fast multiple taps on the same file.
This breaks expected view controller stack behavior.

I am running a versionedSchema for my SwiftData model and attempting a migration. The new version contains a new attribute, with a type of a new custom enum defined in the @Model class, a default value, and a private(set). Migration was completed with a migrationPlan with nil values for willMigrate and didMigrate.
Example - Previous Version
@Model
class MyNumber {
var num: Int
init() {
// Init Code
}
}
Example - Newest Version
@Model
class MyNumber {
var num: Int
private(set) var rounding: RoundAmount = MyNumber.RoundAmount.thirtyMinute
init() {
// Init Code
}
enum RoundAmount {
case fiveMinute, tenMinute, thirtyMinute
}
}
Issue
Running this code, I get a swiftData error for “SwiftData/ModelCoders.swift:1585: nil value passed for a non-optional keyPath, /MyNumber.rounding”
I assume this means a failure of the swiftData lightweight migration? I have reverted the version, removed private(set) and re-tried the migration with no success.
Using the versionedSchema with migrationPlans, are lightweight migrations possible? Could this be an issue with the use of a custom enum? Other changes in my actual project migrated successfully so I’m lost on why I’m having this issue.
Consider this stripped-down example of a view with a view model:
import Observation
import SwiftUI
struct MainView: View {
@State private var viewModel = ViewModel()
private let items = [0, 1, 2]
var body: some View {
List {
GroupedItemsView(
viewModel : viewModel.groupState,
groupedItems : [(0, items)]
)
}
}
}
fileprivate struct GroupedItemsView<ViewModel: GroupsExpandable>: View {
let viewModel : ViewModel
let groupedItems : [(ViewModel.GroupTag, [Int])]
var body: some View {
ForEach(groupedItems, id: \.0) { groupTag, items in
Text("nothing")
}
}
}
fileprivate protocol GroupsExpandable: AnyObject { // HERE
associatedtype GroupTag: Hashable
}
fileprivate final class GroupState<GroupTag: Hashable>: GroupsExpandable {}
@Observable
fileprivate final class ViewModel {
var groupState = GroupState<Int>()
}
#Preview {
MainView()
}
This compiles and runs fine in the Simulator, but it crashes in the Preview.
However, when I remove the fileprivate modifier before GroupsExpandable (see HERE), it also runs in the Preview.
What is the reason for this? Bug in Preview? Error on my side somewhere?
Thanks.
System is Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) on a MacBook Pro 2018 (Intel) running Sequoia 15.3.2
Devices are iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.3.1, compiler is set to Swift 6.
I am facing same issue with major crash while coming out from this function.
Basically using collectionView.dequeReusableCell with size calculation.
func getSizeOfFavouriteCell(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, at indexPath: IndexPath, item: FindCircleInfoCellItem) -> CGSize { guard let dummyCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell( withReuseIdentifier: TAButtonAddCollectionViewCell.reuseIdentifier, for: indexPath) as? TAButtonAddCollectionViewCell else { return CGSize.zero }
dummyCell.title = item.title
dummyCell.subtitle = item.subtitle
dummyCell.icon = item.icon
dummyCell.layoutIfNeeded()
var targetSize = CGSize.zero
if viewModel.favoritesDataSource.isEmpty.not,
viewModel.favoritesDataSource.count > FindSheetViewControllerConstants.minimumFavoritesToDisplayInSection {
targetSize = CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.size.width / 2, height: collectionView.frame.height)
var estimatedSize: CGSize = dummyCell.systemLayoutSizeFitting(targetSize)
if estimatedSize.width > targetSize.width {
estimatedSize.width = targetSize.width
}
return CGSize(width: estimatedSize.width, height: targetSize.height)
}
}
We have resolve issue with size calculation with checking nil. Working fine in xcode 15 and 16+.
Note: Please help me with reason of crash? Is it because of xCode 16.2 onwards **strict check on UICollectionView **
Hi Apple Developer Community,
I'm facing a crash when updating an array of tuples from both a background thread and the main thread simultaneously. Here's a simplified version of the code in a macOS app using AppKit:
class ViewController: NSViewController {
var mainthreadButton = NSButton(title: "test", target: self, action: nil)
var numbers = Array(repeating: (dim: Int, key: String)(0, "default"), count: 1000)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(mainthreadButton)
mainthreadButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
mainthreadButton.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
mainthreadButton.target = self
mainthreadButton.action = #selector(arraytest(_:))
}
@objc func arraytest(_ sender: NSButton) {
print("array update started")
// Background update
DispatchQueue.global().async {
for i in 0..<1000 {
self.numbers[i].dim = i
}
}
// Main thread update
var sum = 0
for i in 0..<1000 {
numbers[i].dim = i + 1
sum += numbers[i].dim
print("test \(sum)")
}
mainthreadButton.title = "test = \(sum)"
}
}
This results in a crash with the following message:
malloc: double free for ptr 0x136040c00
malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
What's interesting:
This crash only happens when the tuple contains a String ((dim: Int, key: String))
If I change the tuple type to use two Int values ((dim: Int, key: Int)), the crash does not occur
My Questions:
Why does mutating an array of tuples containing a String crash when accessed from multiple threads?
Why is the crash avoided when the tuple contains only primitive types like Int?
Is there an underlying memory management issue with value types containing reference types like String?
Any explanation about this behavior and best practices for thread-safe mutation of such arrays would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I am developing an application which is communicating with external device using BLE and L2CAP. I wonder what are the best practices of using Input & Output streams that are established with L2CAP connection when working with Swift 6 concurrency model.
I've been trying to find some examples and hints for some time now but unfortunately there isn't much available. One useful thread I've found is: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756281
but it does not offer much insight into using eg. actor model with streams. I wonder if something has changed in this regards?
Also, are there any plans to migrate eg. CoreBluetooth stack to new swift 6 concurrency ?

I am working on a project for macOS where I am taking an AVCaptureSession's CVPixelBuffer and I need to convert it into a MTLTexture for rendering. On macOS the pixel format is 2vuy, there does not seem to be a clear format conversion while converting to a metal texture. I have been able to convert it to a texture but the color space seems to be off as it is rendering distorted colors with a double image.
I believe 2vuy is a single pane color space and I have tried to account for that, but I am unaware of what is off.
I have attached The CVPixelBuffer and The distorted MTLTexture along with a laundry list of errors.
On iOS my conversions are fine, it is only the macOS 2vuy pixel format that seems to have issues.
My code for the conversion is also attached.
If there are any suggestions or guidance on how to properly convert a 2vuy CVPixelBuffer to a MTLTexture I would greatly appreciate it.
Many Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to make a weather menu bar app, and I want to have it so that the icon of the app in the menu changes with the actual weather, but the icon isn't showing up. There is still a space in the menu bar where I can click and open the app, it's just that the icon has disappeared. Any ideas to fix it?
In the attached code snippet:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var vText: String = ""
var body: some View {
TextField("Enter text", text: Binding(
get: { vText },
set: { newValue in
print("Text will change to: \(newValue)")
vText = newValue
}
))
}
}
I have access to the newValue of the text-field whenever the text-field content changes, but how do I detect which key was pressed? I can manually get the diff between previous state and the new value to get the last pressed char but is there a simpler way? Also this approach won't let me detect any modifier keys (such as Alt, Ctrl etc) that the user may have pressed.
Is there a pure swift-ui approach to detect these key presses?
How can I return the results of a Spotlight query synchronously from a Swift function?
I want to return a [String] that contains the items that match the query, one item per array element.
I specifically want to find all data for Spotlight items in the /Applications folder that have a kMDItemAppStoreAdamID (if there is a better predicate than kMDItemAppStoreAdamID > 0, please let me know).
The following should be the correct query:
let query = NSMetadataQuery()
query.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "kMDItemAppStoreAdamID > 0")
query.searchScopes = ["/Applications"]
I would like to do this for code that can run on macOS 10.13+, which precludes using Swift Concurrency. My project already uses the latest PromiseKit, so I assume that the solution should use that. A bonus solution using Swift Concurrency wouldn't hurt as I will probably switch over sometime in the future, but won't be able to switch soon.
I have written code that can retrieve the Spotlight data as the [String], but I don't know how to return it synchronously from a function; whatever I tried, the query hangs, presumably because I've called various run loop functions at the wrong places.
In case it matters, the app is a macOS command-line app using Swift 5.7 & Swift Argument Parser 1.5.0. The Spotlight data will be output only as text to stdout & stderr, not to any Apple UI elements.
Environment→ ・Device: iPad 10th generation ・OS:**iOS18.3.2
I'm using AVAudioSession to record sound in my application. But I recently came to realize that when the app starts a recording session on a tablet, OS automatically sets the tablet volume to 50% and when after recording ends, it doesn't change back to the previous volume level before starting the recording. So I would like to know whether this is an OS default behavior or a bug?
If it's a default behavior, I much appreciate if I can get a link to the documentation.
I am developing iOS App using SwiftUI and I notice that Myanmar font of number text on 18.4 have clipped on top and bottom. Does anyone have this issues and know the fix? I have provided the Screenshot also.
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing an issue with my app, and I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Here's the situation:
My app works flawlessly on the simulator for all iPhone models (16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, SE, etc.).
It runs without issues on physical iPhone 11 devices (both mine and a friend's).
However, when my friend installs the app from the App Store on their iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16, it crashes immediately upon opening.
Steps I’ve taken so far:
Verified that the app works on the simulator for the same models where it crashes in real life.
Updated the app's minimum deployment target to iOS 18, but this did not resolve the issue. The app still crashes on the physical iPhone 15 Pro and 16 models while continuing to run fine on previous physical devices and all simulated ones.
Additionally, I had another friend beta test the app through TestFlight on their iPhone 15 Pro, and they received an alert message indicating that the app had crashed when they tried to open it. This confirms the issue still exists after my attempted fixes.
I'm unsure what could be causing this discrepancy between the simulated and physical devices, or what the alert message in TestFlight might signify. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or does anyone have suggestions on what I should do to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
when i set the flag false to the usesClassicLoadingMode, then the application is getting crashed
Ex:
let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
if #available(iOS 18.4, *) {
config.usesClassicLoadingMode = false
}
Crash log :

There's an easily reproducible SwiftUI bug on macOS where an app's UI state no longer updates/re-renders for "Designed for iPad" apps (i.e. ProcessInfo.processInfo.isiOSAppOnMac == true). The bug occurs in Xcode and also if the app is running independent of Xcode.
The bug occurs when:
the user Hides the app (i.e. it goes into the background)
the user puts the Mac to sleep (e.g. Apple menu > Sleep)
a total of ~60 seconds transpires (i.e. macOS puts the app into the "suspended state")
when the app is brought back into the foreground the UI no longer updates properly
The only way I have found to fix this is to manually open a new actual full app window via File > New, in which case the app works fine again in the new window.
The following extremely simple code in a default Xcode project illustrates the issue:
import SwiftUI
@main
struct staleApp: App {
@State private var isBright = true
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup() {
ZStack {
(isBright ? Color.white : Color.black).ignoresSafeArea()
Button("TOGGLE") { isBright.toggle(); print("TAPPED") }
}
.onAppear { print("\(isBright ? "light" : "dark") view appeared") }
}
}
}
For the code above, after Hiding the app and putting the computer to sleep for 60 seconds or more, the button no longer swaps views, although the print statements still appear in the console upon tapping the button. Also, while in this buggy state, i can get the view to update to the current state (i.e. the view triggered by the last tap) by manually dragging the corner of the app window to resize the window. But after resizing, the view again does not update upon button tapping until I resize the window again.
so it appears the diff engine is mucked or that the Scene or WindowGroup are no longer correctly running on the main thread
I have tried rebuilding the entire view hierarchy by updating .id() on views but this approach does NOT work. I have tried many other options/hacks but have not been able to reset the 'view engine' other than opening a new window manually or by using: @Environment(.openWindow) private var openWindow
openWindow could be a viable solution except there's no way to programmatically close the old window for isiOSAppOnMac (@Environment(.dismissWindow) private var dismissWindow doesn't work for iOS)
I'm having issues with StoreKit 2 when trying to load my auto-renewable subscriptions on a physical device via TestFlight. It works perfectly in the simulator using a local .storekit configuration file, but when I install the app through TestFlight, StoreKit does not return any products at all. Instead, I get the error:
"Storefront not available"
What I've Tried:
✅ In-App Purchases are enabled on my device.
✅ Using a sandbox account (confirmed logged in under Settings > Developer > Sandbox Account).
✅ The app is signed correctly with automatic signing in Xcode.
✅ The product IDs are correct (they work in the simulator with the local StoreKit file).
✅ I enabled SK2DebugLogging, but I don't see detailed errors.
✅ Restarted the device and signed out/in of my sandbox account.
✅ Checked that the App Store region matches my sandbox account’s region.
✅ The app is not fetching products dynamically at all on a real device—just getting "storefront not available."
Additional Notes
The app is installed via TestFlight, not running in debug mode from Xcode.
The app is signed in to the App Store with a real Apple ID (not the sandbox one).
Apple confirmed that products don’t need to be "Ready for Sale" for sandbox testing.
I checked the Console.app logs on my Mac, but nothing obvious showed up.
What I Need Help With
Why would StoreKit 2 fail to return products in TestFlight, but work fine in the simulator?
What does "storefront not available" actually mean in this context?
Any steps I might have missed to force StoreKit to fetch products properly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🚀

Hi, upgraded to Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) today and now Playground can't execute JSON decoding. The code below is taken from Apple's own JSONDecoder example:
struct GroceryProduct: Codable {
var name: String
var points: Int
var description: String?
}
let json = """
{
"name": "Durian",
"points": 600,
"description": "A fruit with a distinctive scent."
}
""".data(using: .utf8)!
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let product = try decoder.decode(GroceryProduct.self, from: json)
print(product.name) // Prints "Durian"
This use to work in the previous Xcode version. Now I get this error:
The LLDB RPC server has crashed. The crash log is located in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and has a prefix 'lldb-rpc-server'.
This file doesn't exist in the location. I've restarted Xcode and the Mac, same error.
Any thoughts?
I tried to build the project with Xcode 16.3 and I initially got an error that TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR does not exist, then I changed this flag to TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR, but it did not solve the problem
To get menubar size, we can call.
let menuBarHeight = NSStatusBar.system.thickness
That is returning 24 and it is the same as my external screen. I did command + shift + 5 and use the screen capture tool to rougly measure the size of menubar. It is roughly 24px.
However, for my macbook pro 14 inches m2 pro. The menubar seem thicker because of the webcam. Is there a way to find out the size in Swift?
