Hi everyone, I've implemented a UIPasteControl in my iOS app using the following code: func displayPasteControl() { if #available(iOS 16.0, *) { let pasteControlConfig = UIPasteControl.Configuration() let newPasteControlButton = UIPasteControl(configuration: pasteControlConfig) self.inputContainerView.addSubview(newPasteControlButton) newPasteControlButton.isEnabled = true // Set constraints for this button newPasteControlButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false newPasteControlButton.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.originalPasteView.topAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true newPasteControlButton.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.inputContainerView.centerXAnchor).isActive = true newPasteControlButton.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.originalPasteView.widthAnchor, multiplier: 0.5).isActive = true newPasteControlButton.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.originalPasteView.bottomAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true newPasteControlButton.target = self.inputTextView } } I call this function in viewWillAppear: override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewWillAppear(animated) displayPasteControl() } Sometimes, I've noticed that the UIPasteControl button appears in a disabled state visually, but when I press it, the content from the clipboard is still pasted. I checked the state of UIPasteControl and it indicates that it is in an enabled state. For context, the UIPasteControl target is set to a UITextView (self.inputTextView). Has anyone experienced this issue or have any idea why this might be happening? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

The following videos from WWDC24 say that we can use cloud storage for our SwiftData stores. Video references below: What's new in SwiftData Create a custom data store with SwiftData When watching the videos it shows examples of how we can read and write to a JSON file as a store, rather than using the built in store that comes with SwiftData. But there are mentions that we can use cloud storage like a backend i.e. a database hosted on a server. The only thing that I'm struggling to figure out and it would be great if we had code samples for this is how to achieve using cloud storage as a store since looking at the current implementations of: DataStoreConfiguration DataStore The required functions we need to implement look synchronous rather than asynchronous so how would or could we handle fetching asynchronous data from cloud storage. So how would we handle this? Also it would be great if someone could clarify how or if there is a way to send notifications for changes to your store between different devices similar to CloudKit? Are there there any plans to provide more documentation & sample code for the questions I've asked above? Feedback FB13857743

I am trying to implement both ContextMenu and Drag&Drop in UITableView like Apple home screen or Photo app, but the contextual menu prevent dragging in iOS. I didn’t achieve this. apple provide any separate API for this?

Hi team, we have any separate API for dragging with contextual menu?. kindly update it.

I'm working on an app that uses HomeKit-enabled accessories such as wall plugs to control a photographic enlarger in a darkroom. This requires precise timing when toggling the power state of the plug. For example, the timer in my app might be set to 5 seconds, so I turn on the plug using writeValue() on the plugs power state characteristic, wait 5 seconds, then turn it off again. I want to be able to measure if the plug actually responded to the command and if there was any delay in the plug actually turning on/off so I can display a warning to the user if network latency resulted in the plug being on for longer than the set time. Does writeValue() (in my case, the async/await version) only return when the plug has been turned on, or does it return as soon as the command has been sent, regardless of if it has been received/acted on? Is there a way I can (a) quickly verify that the plug has been turned on/off, and (b) measure how long it took for the plug to act on the request, that is, the time elapsed between when writeValue() is called and when the plug actually updates to the corresponding value?

I have a Safari Web Extension for visionOS that reads from UIDevice.current.systemVersion in order to provide the OS version number back to the JavaScript context utilizing beginRequest(with:). When switching my project to use Swift 6, I received this obscure error: Main actor-isolated class property 'current' can not be referenced from a non-isolated context Class property declared here (UIKit.UIDevice) Add '@MainActor' to make instance method 'beginRequest(with:)' part of global actor 'MainActor' Adding @MainActor causes another issue (Main actor-isolated instance method 'beginRequest(with:)' cannot be used to satisfy nonisolated protocol requirement) which suggests adding @preconcurrency to NSExtensionRequestHandling which then breaks at Non-sendable type 'NSExtensionContext' in parameter of the protocol requirement satisfied by main actor-isolated instance method 'beginRequest(with:)' cannot cross actor boundary. What's the proper solution here? Here's a simplified snippet of my code: class SafariWebExtensionHandler: NSObject, NSExtensionRequestHandling { func beginRequest(with context: NSExtensionContext) { // ... var systemVersionNumber = "" systemVersionNumber = UIDevice.current.systemVersion // ... } }

In truth, I do not fully understand JSON Files and I am new to Swift. I am trying to be a bit too clever and build my menu from a JSON file. [ { "description": "Readings Entry", "target": "ReadingsEntry", "icon": "barometer", }, { "description": "Readings Entry", "target": "ReadingsView()", "icon": "tablecells.badge.ellipsis", }, { "description": "Food Diary", "target": "FoodDiary()", "icon": "fork.knife.circle", }, { "description": "Readings Entry", "target": "Settings()", "icon": "gearshape", } ] Because I don't know any better I have stored the destination view (target) as a String in the "struct" that I have constructed to import the JSON data. import SwiftUI struct dcMenu: Codable, Identifiable { enum CodingKeys: CodingKey { case description case target case icon } var id = UUID() var description: String var target: String var icon: String } class ReadData: ObservableObject { @Published var lineText = [dcMenu]() init(){ loadData() } func loadData() { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "menu", withExtension: "json") else { print("Json file not found") return } let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) let lineText = try? JSONDecoder().decode([dcMenu].self, from: data!) self.lineText = lineText! } } But the issue this leaves me with is when I come to construct the actual menu, How do I use the string "target" as the "destination" of the navigation link? struct ContentView: View { @ObservedObject var menuLines = ReadData() var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { . . . List(menuLines.lineText) { lines in NavigationLink(destination: lines.target){ Image(systemName: lines.icon) Text(lines.description) } } . . . .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(min: 75, ideal: 100) } detail: { . . . } .navigationTitle("Diabetes Control") } }

Hey, the TipViewStyle protocol seems to still be nonisolated, which makes using it in the Swift 6 language mode impossible, I believe (at least without using something like MainActor.assumeIsolated): @available(macOS 14.0, iOS 17.0, tvOS 17.0, visionOS 1.0, watchOS 10.0, *) public protocol TipViewStyle { // ... } I cannot use any views inside the makeBody method. Other style protocols, like ButtonStyle are correctly isolated to the main actor: @available(iOS 13.0, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *) @MainActor @preconcurrency public protocol ButtonStyle { // ... } Is this just an oversight or am I missing something and this is actually intentional? Thanks!

Hello, forum, I'm trying to build connection between a non-MFi HID device (like keyboard) and iOS app with IOKit and Swift. Thanks to this post, I have manage to import the IOKit into objc header. IOKit on iOS/iPadOS 16.0+ #import <IOKit/IOKitLib.h> However, I have this compiler error when I try to imitate same methods in the SerialPortSaple project from following article, but the IOKit can not be imported to Swift at first place. Communicating with a Modem on a Serial Port The screen shot of the sample project: It looks like the complier unable to reach the io_object_t type somehow, is there any workaround or approach?

2024_06_09_testflight_launch_crash_log.txt Running my macOS app the first time after installing via TestFlight crashes on launch. Every subsequent run works fine (including completely quitting the app and re-running it). Also, building and running directly in XCode both in Debug and Release mode works fine. I'm on a Mac M2 and the app excludes x86_64 arch.

But, I wonder what might lead to that happening only the first time after launch? Will appreciate any clues! EDIT / UPDATE: If i remove the app completely and install the same version again from TestFlight, app doesn't crash. So it seems the crashing is limited to the very first launch of a new /updated version.

I have a public swift function with the below declaration : public func InternalMain (_ pNumOfArgs : Int32, _ pCmdlineArgs : UnsafeMutablePointer<UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>?>) -> Int32 {..} I need this function as public because I need to invoke in from a different library. But the above declaration produces an error in my generated swift header i.e '-swift.h' file because 'UnsafeMutablePointer<UnsafeMutablePointer?>' type cannot be represented in the swift generated header. Can someone help how do I get past this. This is a class independent function and I tried using the '@nonobj' to prevent this from getting in the generated header but it still gives an error.

Hello there. I'm having trouble with notarization in Xcode. I'm developing a Swift Mac app with Xcode 14, but even when I enable Hardened Runtime and perform notarization, it displays the message "Hardened Runtime is not enabled" and I can't proceed. The steps for notarization are [Window] -> [Organizer] -> [Distribute App] -> [Developer ID] [Next] -> [Upload]. Could you please tell me what I should check, or any other information? I've attached screenshots. Thank you.

Hi, I just did a NSTextField with auto complete that show a cities menu bar the problem is when I typing the first letter, the focus change to the menubar and if I try to write another letter it just replace the first letter and not add it how can I fix it? Thank you! class NSTextFieldAuto: NSTextField, NSMenuDelegate, NSTextFieldDelegate { var suggestionMenu: NSMenu? var selectedSuggestionIndex: Int? override func awakeFromNib() { super.awakeFromNib() self.delegate = self self.suggestionMenu = NSMenu() self.suggestionMenu?.delegate = self } override func mouseDown(with event: NSEvent) { super.mouseDown(with: event) // Deselect all text when the text field is clicked } override func textDidChange(_ notification: Notification) { super.textDidChange(notification) print("Still typing") updateSuggestionMenu() showSuggestionMenu() } override func textDidEndEditing(_ notification: Notification) { print("Finished typing") cityDef.setValue(self.stringValue, forKey: cityDefKey) } func updateSuggestionMenu() { self.suggestionMenu?.removeAllItems() let searchText = self.stringValue.lowercased() for (index, city) in allCities.enumerated() { if city.lowercased().hasPrefix(searchText) { let item = NSMenuItem(title: city, action: #selector(selectSuggestion(_:)), keyEquivalent: "") item.target = self self.suggestionMenu?.addItem(item) } } } func showSuggestionMenu() { if let menu = self.suggestionMenu, !menu.items.isEmpty { let textFieldRect = self.bounds let origin = NSPoint(x: textFieldRect.origin.x + 100.0, y: textFieldRect.origin.y + textFieldRect.size.height) menu.autoenablesItems = false menu.popUp(positioning: nil, at: origin, in: self) } } @objc func selectSuggestion(_ sender: NSMenuItem) { self.stringValue = sender.title } override func cancelOperation(_ sender: Any?) { self.suggestionMenu?.cancelTracking() self.window?.becomeFirstResponder() } func menuDidClose(_ menu: NSMenu) { self.window?.makeFirstResponder(self) // Set text field as first responder again print("Close menu") } override func becomeFirstResponder() -> Bool { let result = super.becomeFirstResponder() self.selectedSuggestionIndex = nil // Reset selected suggestion index return result } }

Hi, I have built a Safari App Extension for Mac. However, I want to remove the toolbar item from the extension. I have tried the following approach: Remove SFSafariToolbarItem dictionary from Info.plist Remove the toolbar icon pdf from the project Remove validateToolbarItem and popoverViewController from the extension handler. This does not remove the toolbar item. Instead I have a toolbar item that shows my App Icon just greyed out. On clicking that item, it show an option to "Manage Extension". What should I do to remove the toolbar item from my extension?

I have a sports iOS app with a paired watch app, that uses location to update some UI elements. I technically need the location only when the watch app is in foreground, but since another requirement is to stop the clock from replacing the app, I decided to add background location checks. I followed the steps from the documentation (adding Background Modes to the watch extension target, setting allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates to true): the location update works fine when I go to the clock, the app's icon is displayed in a circle at the top (bringing the app back to foreground on tap). The only problem is that the "Return to app" option in the "Return to Clock" settings menu is missing, what do I need to do in order to display it? Here's an example of what it looks like for the Strava app: and how it looks for mine.

Hey Team, We're experiencing an issue where push notifications are failing to deliver to certain devices in the production environment. However, they are working fine in the development build on specific devices. Interestingly, the notifications are working fine for a few devices in the same production environment. In the affected devices we have attempted the following things to resolve the issue Verify the device token (& send the notification through apple push notification console) reinstall the application reboot the device Below are the device details Model - Macbook Pro 15-inch, 2018 processor - 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 OS Version - macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 I have attached the APSD process console log for the affected device. In which we are getting following error. apsd Peer connection [pid=472] lacks APSConnectionInitiateEntitlement APSD_ConsoleLog.txt Thank you all in advance for any information regarding this issue and we will provide any additional information if needed.

I'm building a macOS target for my App (which also has some Obj-C code). Building and running the app is fine but when I archive the app in XCode, the process / build fails with the following error Type 'BOOL' (aka ;Int32') cannot be used as a boolean;test for '!=0' instead It happens in a couple of places, one of the places being private func getRootDirectory(createIfNotExists: Bool = true) throws -> URL { return try FileManager.default.url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: true) } where it complains that create: true is not acceptable and throws the above error. If I comment out this line, the archive works successfully. When i Cmd + click the definition of Filemanager.default.url , i get this @available(macOS 10.6, *) open func url(for directory: FileManager.SearchPathDirectory, in domain: FileManager.SearchPathDomainMask, appropriateFor url: URL?, create shouldCreate: BOOL) throws -> URL This looks fishy since it it says create shouldCreate: BOOL whereas the documentation says it should be just Bool func url( for directory: FileManager.SearchPathDirectory, in domain: FileManager.SearchPathDomainMask, appropriateFor url: URL?, create shouldCreate: Bool ) throws -> URL My minimum deployment target is macOS 13.0 I'm quite stumped at this error - which happens only while archiving. Does anybody know why?

Hello, I am developing an Apple Watch app in Swift and SwiftUI that needs to receive real-time heartbeat data to visualize the time intervals between heartbeats. The app draws circles on the screen where the size and position of each circle are based on the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. I am currently using the HKQuantityType for .heartRate from HealthKit to get heart rate data and calculate the intervals. However, I am wondering if this is the best approach for my requirement. I came across the HKElectrocardiogram class, and I am not sure if it would be a better fit for obtaining real-time heartbeat intervals. My questions are: Real-Time Heartbeats: Is HKQuantityType for .heartRate the most appropriate way to get real-time heartbeat data for calculating intervals between beats? Can HKElectrocardiogram provide real-time heartbeat intervals, or is it more suited for detailed ECG recordings rather than instantaneous heartbeats? Accuracy and Performance: Which method provides the most accurate and real-time data for heartbeat intervals? Are there any other APIs or services in the Apple Watch ecosystem that I should consider for this purpose? Best Practices: What are the best practices for implementing real-time heartbeat monitoring in an Apple Watch app? Are there any sample projects or documentation that could help me understand the optimal way to achieve this? Here is a brief overview of my current implementation using HKQuantityType for .heartRate: import Foundation import HealthKit class HeartRateMonitor: NSObject, ObservableObject { @Published var heartRate: Double = 0.0 @Published var intervals: [TimeInterval] = [] private var lastHeartRateTimestamp: Date? private var healthStore: HKHealthStore? private let heartRateQuantityType = HKObjectType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRate) private let appStartTime: Date override init() { self.appStartTime = Date() super.init() if HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable() { self.healthStore = HKHealthStore() self.requestAuthorization() } } private func requestAuthorization() { guard let heartRateQuantityType = self.heartRateQuantityType else { return } healthStore?.requestAuthorization(toShare: nil, read: [heartRateQuantityType]) { success, error in if success { self.startMonitoring() } } } func startMonitoring() { guard let heartRateQuantityType = self.heartRateQuantityType else { return } let query = HKAnchoredObjectQuery( type: heartRateQuantityType, predicate: nil, anchor: nil, limit: HKObjectQueryNoLimit) { (query, samples, deletedObjects, newAnchor, error) in guard let samples = samples as? [HKQuantitySample] else { return } self.process(samples: samples) } query.updateHandler = { (query, samples, deletedObjects, newAnchor, error) in guard let samples = samples as? [HKQuantitySample] else { return } self.process(samples: samples) } healthStore?.execute(query) } private func process(samples: [HKQuantitySample]) { for sample in samples { if sample.endDate > appStartTime { let heartRateUnit = HKUnit.count().unitDivided(by: HKUnit.minute()) let heartRate = sample.quantity.doubleValue(for: heartRateUnit) DispatchQueue.main.async { self.heartRate = heartRate if let lastTimestamp = self.lastHeartRateTimestamp { let interval = sample.endDate.timeIntervalSince(lastTimestamp) self.intervals.append(interval) } self.lastHeartRateTimestamp = sample.endDate } } } } } Thank you for your guidance and suggestions!
