Consider this simple miniature of my iOS Share Extension: import SwiftUI import Photos class ShareViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() if let itemProviders = (extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem)?.attachments { let hostingView = UIHostingController(rootView: ShareView(extensionContext: extensionContext, itemProviders: itemProviders)) hostingView.view.frame = view.frame view.addSubview(hostingView.view) } } } struct ShareView: View { var extensionContext: NSExtensionContext? var itemProviders: [NSItemProvider] var body: some View { VStack{} .task{ await extractItems() } } func extractItems() async { guard let itemProvider = itemProviders.first else { return } guard itemProvider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.url.identifier) else { return } do { guard let url = try await itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: UTType.url.identifier) as? URL else { return } try await downloadAndSaveMedia(reelURL: url.absoluteString) extensionContext?.completeRequest(returningItems: []) } catch {} } } On the line 34 guard let url = try await itemProvider.loadItem ...

I'm trying to rewrite a Swift code to Swift 6 language mode and am stuck with this problem. How do I safely pass the bestAttemptContent and contentHandler to the Task? This is from the UNNotificationServiceExtension subclass. final class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension { var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)? var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent? var customNotificationTask: Task<Void, Error>? override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) { self.contentHandler = contentHandler bestAttemptContent = (request.content.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent) guard let bestAttemptContent = bestAttemptContent else { invokeContentHandler(with: request.content) return } do { let notificationModel = try PushNotificationUserInfo(data: request.content.userInfo) guard let templatedImageUrl = notificationModel.templatedImageUrlString, let imageUrl = imageUrl(from: templatedImageUrl) else { invokeContentHandler(with: bestAttemptContent) return } setupCustomNotificationTask( imageUrl: imageUrl, bestAttemptContent: bestAttemptContent, contentHandler: contentHandler ) } catch { invokeContentHandler(with: bestAttemptContent) } } // More code private func downloadImageTask( imageUrl: URL, bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent, contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void ) { self.customNotificationTask = Task { let (location, _) = try await URLSession.shared.download(from: imageUrl) let desiredLocation = URL(fileURLWithPath: "\(location.path)\(imageUrl.lastPathComponent)") try FileManager.default.moveItem(at: location, to: desiredLocation) let attachment = try UNNotificationAttachment(identifier: imageUrl.absoluteString, url: desiredLocation, options: nil) bestAttemptContent.attachments = [attachment] contentHandler(bestAttemptContent) } } } I tried using the MainActor.run {}, but it just moved the error to that run function. The UNNotificationRequest is not sendable, and I don't think I can make it so. Wrap the setupCustomNotification in a Task will move the errors to the didReceive method. It seems like the consuming keyword will help here, but it leads to a compilation error, even with the latest Xcode (16.2). Any pointers?

Hello everyone, I've run into a peculiar behavior with UINavigationController's setViewControllers on iOS 18.2 (I guess it might be reproducible on older versions) when reordering view controllers, and I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this issue. Initial State: The navigation stack is [A - B - C]. Without Animation: Setting [A - C - B] updates the stack to: A - C - B as expected. With Animation: Using the same command with animation changes the stack to [A - B], oddly omitting C. Has anyone else noticed similar behavior or knows why animations might disrupt the stack's update this way? I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions. Thanks, Dmytro

I have an App Clip that uses SKOverlay.AppClipConfiguration to install the full app. Before I added a Live Activity call (Activity.request), the user could see “Install,” then “Open.” Now, once “Get” is tapped, the Clip immediately closes—no “Open” button appears. If I remove the Live Activity code, it works again. I’ve confirmed that parent/child entitlements match, and tested via TestFlight. Is there a known issue or recommended workaround for combining SKOverlay + Live Activities in an App Clip so it doesn’t dismiss prematurely? Any insights are appreciated! Note live activity is for App Clip only.

Platform Specs: Xcode 16.2 Swift 6.0.3 iOS 18.2 + iOS Simulator 18.3.1 Issue: Refer to the following code: struct CustomView: View { @Binding var prop: CustomStruct init(prop p: Binding<CustomStruct>) { _prop = p } init(isPreview: Bool) { let p = CustomStruct() _prop = .constant(p) } var body: some View { VStack { Text("hi") } } } #Preview { CustomView(isPreview: true) .preferredColorScheme(.dark) } The first constructor is for normal app functionality (and previews/functions correctly when used with the rest of the app in the ContentView preview tab). The second constructor is for previewing only CustomView in its own preview tab. This constructor does not work when previewing in the same file, as shown above. It triggers an ambiguous crash, stating that the diagnostic log (which obviously provides no clear information) should be checked. I have isolated the issue to be in the Binding reassignment in the second constructor. Replacing CustomStruct with anything but another struct, like an enum or primitive, fixes the issue. Note: This bug only occurs when previewing (either through the #Preview macro or PreviewProvider struct).

I've been trying to use AVMIDIControlChangeEvent with a bankSelect message type to change the instrument the sequencer uses on a AVMusicTrack with no luck. I started with the Apple AVAEMixerSample, converting the initial setup/loading and portions dealing with the sequencer to Swift. I got that working and playing the "bluesyRiff" and then modified it to play individual notes. So my createAndSetupSequencer looked like func createAndSetupSequencer() { sequencer = AVAudioSequencer(audioEngine: engine) // guard let midiFileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "bluesyRiff", withExtension: "mid") else { // print (" failed guard trying to get URL for bluesyRiff") // return // } let track = sequencer.createAndAppendTrack() var currTime = 1.0 for i: UInt32 in 0...8 { let newNoteEvent = AVMIDINoteEvent(channel: 0, key: 60+i, velocity: 64, duration: 2.0) track.addEvent(newNoteEvent, at: AVMusicTimeStamp(currTime)) currTime += 2.0 } The notes played, so then I also replaced the gs_instruments sound bank with GeneralUser GS MuseScore v1.442 first by trying guard let soundBankURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "GeneralUser GS MuseScore v1.442", withExtension: "sf2") else { return} do { try sampler.loadSoundBankInstrument(at: soundBankURL, program: 0x001C, bankMSB: 0x79, bankLSB: 0x08) } catch{.... } This appears to work, the instrument (8 which is "Funk Guitar") plays. If I change to bankLSB: 0x00 I get the "Palm Muted guitar". So I know that the soundfont has these instruments Stuff goes off the rails when I try to change the instruments in createAndSetupSequencer. Putting let programChange = AVMIDIProgramChangeEvent(channel: 0, programNumber: 0x001C) let bankChange = AVMIDIControlChangeEvent(channel: 0, messageType: AVMIDIControlChangeEvent.MessageType.bankSelect, value: 0x00) track.addEvent(programChange, at: AVMusicTimeStamp(1.0)) track.addEvent(bankChange, at: AVMusicTimeStamp(1.0)) just before my add note loop doesn't produce any change. Loading bankLSB 8 (Funk) in sampler.loadSoundBankInstrument and trying to change with bankSelect 0 (Palm muted) in createAndSetupSequencer results in instrument 8 (Funk) playing not Palm Muted. Loading bankLSB 0 (Palm muted) and trying to change with bankSelect 8 (Funk) doesn't work, 0 (Palm muted) plays I also tried sampler.loadInstrument(at: soundBankURL) and then I always get the first instrument in the sound font file (piano)no matter what values I put in my programChange/bankChange I've also changed the time in the track.addEvent to be 0, 1.0, 3.0 etc to no success The sampler.loadSoundBankInstrument specifies two UInt8 parameters, bankMSB and BankLSB while the AVMIDIControlChangeEvent bankSelect value is UInt32 suggesting it might be some combination of bankMSB and BankLSB. But the documentation makes no mention of what this should look like. I tried various combinations of 0x7908, 0X0879 etc to no avail I will also point out that I am able to successfully execute other control change events For example adding if i == 1 { let portamentoOnEvent = AVMIDIControlChangeEvent(channel: 0, messageType: AVMIDIControlChangeEvent.MessageType.portamento, value: 0xFF) track.addEvent(portamentoOnEvent, at: AVMusicTimeStamp(currTime)) let portamentoRateEvent = AVMIDIControlChangeEvent(channel: 0, messageType: AVMIDIControlChangeEvent.MessageType.portamentoTime, value: 64) track.addEvent(portamentoRateEvent, at: AVMusicTimeStamp(currTime)) } does produce a change in the sound. (As an aside, a definition of what portamento time is, other than "the rate of portamento" would be welcome. is it notes/seconds? freq/minute? beats/hour?) I was able to get the instrument to change in a different program using MusicPlayer and a series of MusicTrackNewMIDIChannelEvent on a track but these operate on a MusicTrack not the AVMusicTrack which the sequencer uses. Has anyone been successful in switching instruments through an AVMIDIControlChangeEvent or have any feedback on how to do this?

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm writing a simple renderer on the main actor using Metal and Swift 6. I am at the stage now where I want to create a render pipeline state using asynchronous API: @MainActor class Renderer { let opaqueMeshRPS: MTLRenderPipelineState init(/*...*/) async throws { let descriptor = MTLRenderPipelineDescriptor() // ... opaqueMeshRPS = try await device.makeRenderPipelineState(descriptor: descriptor) } } I get a compilation error if try to use the asynchronous version of the makeRenderPipelineState method: Non-sendable type 'any MTLRenderPipelineState' returned by implicitly asynchronous call to nonisolated function cannot cross actor boundary Which is understandable, since MTLRenderPipelineState is not Sendable. But it looks like no matter where or how I try to access this method, I just can't do it - you have this API, but you can't use it, you can only use the synchronous versions. Am I missing something or is Metal just not usable with Swift 6 right now?

I get a crash in Apple Watch simulator (Series 9 45mm 18.0) as soon as the app launch if I type anything on external keyboard (just hitting command key for instance to capture a screenshot). Same crash on series 7 (45mm, OS 18.1) But app works normally when I use mouse to interact with the app on simulator. App does not crash on real device (Watch 4 OS 10.4.1). Nor does it crash on Series 6 simulator (44 mm OS 17.4). Here are the log I could collect (apparently, they contain sensitive language !!! so I attach as a file.: Attached logs

I feel a bit dumb now. I once succeeded to change the language of an app on Watch simulator. So it is possible. And I'm not able to repeat (fool of me I did not took note of how I did it). I just remember it was simply through some language settings selection, may be rebooting the Mac, but not by changing anything in code. Does someone know how to do ?

In an AppKit document-based project created by Xcode, setting canConcurrentlyReadDocuments to true allows new documents to open normally in Swift 5, but switching to Swift 6 causes an error. Judging from the error message, it seems to be a threading issue, but I’m not sure how to adjust the code to support the Swift 6 environment. The project is the most basic code from an Xcode-created document-based project without any modifications, except for changing the Swift version to 6 and setting canConcurrentlyReadDocuments to true.

Hello, Relatively new to AppleScripts in current gen (I've used it back in 2010s) and would like some help if someone can point me in the right direction. Is AppleScript the best/only way to interact with Notes application? (I'm on Sequioa) 1.1 I've tried to use LLM to generate a Swift app, but it still calls out to AppleScripts, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. 1.2 If I'm going down a rabbit hole, I'd like to stop since I want to finish this quick task and move on and or fall deeply in love with AppleScripts... whichever comes first. Is There a better way to write notes? Script Editor is still a minimal IDE, I'd love to find something that will do some auto completion/suggestions because the documentation in the Script Editor is still a tad weak. (I'm used to interpreted languages like bash, ruby, etc...) where if I don't understand something I just dig into the code instead of turse documentation that just exposes public end points and does not tell you much more :( My problem: I'd like to set up a cron that periodically checks my notes, and cleans up the shared notes. Basically it's a shared set of notes that have checklist on it and cleans up. (weekly chores etc...) I want to read the notes, find out which ones have been marked checked. Reset the ones that are done, leave unfinished ones alone and reset the old ones. This is how far I've gotten: let appleScript = """``` tell application "Notes" set targetNote to note "\Test" of default account return body of targetNote end tell That works like a charm, Kind of dumb because I rather use and ID of the note not the name :( It returns the following <div><b><span style=\\"font-size: 24px\\">Test</span></b></div> <div><br></div> <ul> <li> Not Done</li> <li>Done</li> <li>Not Done yet</li> </ul> <div><br></div> <div>Single line</div> Which is a good start! Issues: There is no way to tell which Item is marked "Checked" and which one is not :( Any helps is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I am experiencing an issue where I am unable to sign in to my Apple ID within Xcode. Even after updating my password and ensuring that all my credentials are correct, I continue to receive an "Incorrect username or password" error. However, I can successfully log in to Apple Developer Portal, iCloud, and Apple ID settings using the same credentials. Steps I've Taken to Resolve the Issue: Updated Software I have updated macOS Sequoia and Xcode to the latest versions. I have also verified that my Apple Developer certificates are up to date. Tried Resetting Authentication in macOS I removed all related entries for Xcode, Apple ID, and Developer from Keychain Access. Logged out of my Apple ID from System Settings and restarted my Mac. Logged back in and retried signing in to Xcode. Checked Authentication & Security Settings I verified that two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled. Tried appending the verification code directly to the password when logging into Xcode. Checked Xcode Developer Directory Ran sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer Verified using xcode-select -p, which correctly pointed to the Xcode Developer directory. Tried Resetting Developer Tools Removed and reinstalled Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install). Accepted the Xcode license agreement (sudo xcodebuild -license). Reinstalled Xcode Completely uninstalled Xcode using sudo rm -rf /Applications/Xcode.app and reinstalled it from the Mac App Store. Problem Summary: Xcode does not recognize my Apple ID credentials, despite them being correct. I can successfully log in to Apple’s web services, but not to Xcode. I have already attempted multiple fixes, including resetting keychain entries, reinstalling Xcode, and verifying system configurations. I would appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue, as I need access to my Apple Developer account within Xcode to continue working on my app. Thank you for your support.

Hello, It is mentioned in CryptoTokenKit documentation: You use the CryptoTokenKit framework to easily access cryptographic tokens. Tokens are physical devices built in to the system, located on attached hardware (like a smart card), or accessible through a network connection. However, it looks like there is lack of documentation with simple example, how to access network token. I have a certificates in HSM (hardware secure module), which is accessible on network, and I'd like to access certificates on HSM on my Mac. Does anybody know, where to start with implementation? Thank you.

I'm developing an app for my watch and have a list of different classes (referred to as 'courses' to avoid confusion) that I take in school, eg: struct Course { let name: String let icon: String let room: String let colour: String let listName: String let listIcon: String init(name: String, icon: String, room: String? = nil, colour: String, listName: String? = nil, listIcon: String? = nil) { self.name = name self.icon = icon self.room = room ?? "None" self.colour = colour self.listName = listName ?? name self.listIcon = listIcon ?? icon+".circle.fill" } } // here's a few of my Course variables (there are lots more I've excluded) let MathsCourse = Course(name: "Maths", icon: "number", room: "FT5", colour: "Rose") let English6 = Course(name: "English", icon: "book.closed", room: "BT6", colour: "Lemon") let LunchPeriod = Course(name: "Lunch", icon: "fork.knife", room: "food", colour: "White") and I have designed a 'list view' of all the courses I have on whatever day it is. I used to define a different View for every course I defined but I merged the list data with the overall Course and replaced the Views with something that I should be able to call repeatedly and pass in a course to use, but unfortunately it's not working. (yes, I'm making a timetable app) This is the template for a 'list view' for a class: struct courseListView: View { var localcourse: Course var localtime: String var body: some View { HStack{ Image(systemName: localcourse.listIcon) .foregroundColor(Color(localcourse.colour)) .padding(.leading, 5) Text(localcourse.name) .bold() Spacer() Text(localtime) Text(roomOrBlank(course: localcourse)).bold().padding(.trailing, 5) } .padding(.bottom, 1) .background(currentCourse.name==localcourse.name ? Color(localcourse.colour).colorInvert(): nil) } } Then I should be able to programmatically work out what courses I have that day (I haven't scripted that bit yet), and compose a view containing all the courses: struct ListView: View { var body: some View { ScrollView { VStack(alignment: .leading) { courseListView(localcourse: MathsCourse, localtime: "10:00") // ^^^ note above line; I'll come back to this // the idea is I can repeat that for a bunch of courses: courseListView(localcourse: English6, localtime: "11:00") courseListView(localcourse: LunchPeriod, localtime: "12:00") } } } } Then be able to call all that in my @main: @main struct Timetaber_Watch_AppApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { TabView{ HomeView() ListView() SettingsView() } .tabViewStyle(.carousel) .onAppear() { log() } } } } Unfortunately, each time I try to get a list view for a course, // if you need a reminder: courseListView(localcourse: MathsCourse, localtime: "10:00") ...even only calling it once causes my entire app to crash. Here's an excerpt from the crash report: Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000180210194 Termination Reason: SIGNAL 5 Trace/BPT trap: 5 Terminating Process: exc handler [14932] Triggered by Thread: 0 Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libdispatch.dylib 0x180210194 _dispatch_once_wait.cold.1 + 28 1 libdispatch.dylib 0x1801db4f4 _dispatch_once_wait + 184 2 ??? 0x3400200d0 ??? 3 ??? 0x340020198 ??? 4 ... So... Anyone know what's happening?

I have an attributedString with 100 NSTextAttachments(contains image of 400kb). When i scroll the textview, it is lagging, When i did the same in textkit 1, it is butter smooth. It can be because of how textkit 1 & 2 layout the elements. let attachment = NSTextAttachment() attachment.image = UIImage(named: "image2") let attachmentString = NSAttributedString(attachment: attachment) let mutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: textView.attributedText) for _ in 0...100 { mutableAttributedString.append(NSAttributedString(string: "\n")) mutableAttributedString.append(attachmentString) } textView.attributedText = mutableAttributedString How to handle images in textkit 2 so that it feels smooth while scrolling textview?

My project uses a local swift package of my own, which uses SwiftGenPlugin to generate image resources. I can archive the project locally, but Xcode Cloud doesn't work and reports an error: "SwiftGenPlugin" is disabled.

Hi, We have recently encountered a problem running our App on iPads with A9, A10 chipset. Since recently we have migrated our Network module to swift 6 our app has stoped working on these devices. Anyone else has noticed that too or if someone know why that is happening only for iPads with specific hardware?
