@State changes in Xcode 27 are causing variable definitions spanning multiple lines to produce unexpected compiler errors.
On Xcode 27, the compiler incorrectly errors when a @State variable definition is placed on multiple lines. The code compiles without any issues on Xcode 26 and is valid Swift. The issue is fixed if the var definition is placed on a single line. The following code produces issues: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" However, the code below works: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" The issue is reproducible in any new project with a simple view: import SwiftUI import Playgrounds @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" var body: some View { Text(bodyText) .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } The expected behavior is for valid Swift code to not trigger compiler error.

Reorderable with Xcode previews
I was playing around with the brand-new reorderable API and couldn't get it to work within previews. Is there a specific way to get previews to work with reorderable, or do I need to compile every time? I was also curious if there will be an addition to the Array generic struct, as it seems like the solution there currently is is just an extension, although the way it's being promoted makes it seem like it is built into the type.

tvOS SwiftUI App Bugfixes
Hi :-) I need some advice to fix the following issues in SwiftUI. I don't have the source code myself, but I'd like to help the programmer fix the problem quickly. So I'm looking for a few lines of Example-Code that I can show these Code-Lines to help resolve this quickly. 1. "Jumping shadow" when swiping => The Shadow under the Genre.Buttons jumps when you swipe through them. 2. Liquid Glass Flicker => The Liquid Glass EDGE on a poster or on the buttons flickers (abruptly disappear) when switching from one page to another Can someone help me? Bets regards, Christian :)

How to present a View above everything in SwiftUI?
Hello, I'm trying to present an app overlay (like an HUD) that should appear on top of everything (the app UI could be the root content view or a modal presented from the content view or a modal over a modal presented from the content view, etc.). If I use a ZStack for example, the issue is that the view is not visible if the ZStack is presenting a modal for example. In UIKit, I think we can use instantiate another UIWindow to show content above the top window of the app (what a native alert does if I'm not wrong). What would be the equivalent in SwiftUI? How could I create this? Thanks, Axel

Wrong position of searchable component on first render
Hey all, I found a weird behaviour with the searchable component. I created a custom bottom nav bar (because I have custom design in my app) to switch between screens. On one screen I display a List component with the searchable component. Whenever I enter the search screen the first time, the searchable component is displayed at the bottom. This is wrong. It should be displayed at the top under the navigationTitle. When I enter the screen a second time, everything is correct. This behaviour can be reproduced on all iOS 26 versions on the simulator and on a physical device with debug and release build. On iOS 18 everything works fine. Steps to reproduce: Cold start of the app Click on Search TabBarIcon (searchable wrong location) Click on Home TabBarIcon Click on Search TabBarIcon (searchable correct location) Simple code example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var selectedTab: Page = Page.main var body: some View { NavigationStack { ZStack { VStack { switch selectedTab { case .main: MainView() case .search: SearchView() } } VStack { Spacer() VStack(spacing: 0) { HStack(spacing: 0) { TabBarIcon(iconName: "house", selected: selectedTab == .main, displayName: "Home") .onTapGesture { selectedTab = .main } TabBarIcon(iconName: "magnifyingglass", selected: selectedTab == .search, displayName: "Search") .onTapGesture { selectedTab = .search } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .frame(height: 55) .background(Color.gray) } .ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .bottom) } } } } } struct TabBarIcon: View { let iconName: String let selected: Bool let displayName: String var body: some View { ZStack { VStack { Image(systemName: iconName) .resizable() .renderingMode(.template) .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) .foregroundColor(Color.black) .frame(width: 22, height: 22) Text(displayName) .font(Font.system(size: 10)) } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } } enum Page { case main case search } struct MainView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .navigationTitle("Home") } } struct SearchView: View { @State private var searchText = "" let items = [ "Apple", "Banana", "Pear", "Strawberry", "Orange", "Peach", "Grape", "Mango" ] var filteredItems: [String] { if searchText.isEmpty { return items } else { return items.filter { $0.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(searchText) } } } var body: some View { List(filteredItems, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } .navigationTitle("Fruits") .searchable(text: $searchText, placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always), prompt: "Search") } }

SwiftUI NavigationSplitView sidebar toolbar has excessive top inset when embedded in TabView since iPadOS 26.4
I’m seeing a layout regression in SwiftUI on iPadOS 26.4 involving NavigationSplitView inside a TabView. When a NavigationSplitView is embedded in a TabView, the sidebar toolbar appears to reserve too much vertical space. There is a large vertical gap between the top edge of the sidebar and the sidebar collapse/toggle icon. It looks as if the sidebar toolbar itself has become much taller than expected. The same NavigationSplitView layout is rendered correctly when it is shown directly without being embedded in a TabView. Environment: iPadOS 26.4 or later SwiftUI iPad TabView NavigationSplitView inside one tab Expected behavior The sidebar toolbar should use its normal height, as it does when the same NavigationSplitView is shown without a surrounding TabView. The sidebar collapse/toggle icon should appear close to the top of the sidebar, without a large empty gap above it. Actual behavior When the NavigationSplitView is hosted inside a TabView, the sidebar toolbar area becomes excessively tall. A large empty space appears above the sidebar collapse/toggle icon. This only happens in the TabView setup. Rendering the same NavigationSplitView directly does not show the issue. Feedback I also filed this as Feedback Assistant report: FB22645938 Has anyone else seen this behavior since iPadOS 26.4? Is this an intentional layout change, or is there a supported way to avoid this additional top inset when using NavigationSplitView inside TabView? Reproduction import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { enum AppTab { case first case second } @State private var selectedTab: AppTab = .first var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { Tab("First", systemImage: "sidebar.leading", value: .first) { NavigationSplitView { List { Section("Sidebar Content") { ForEach(1...20, id: \.self) { index in Text("Item \(index)") } } } .navigationTitle("Sidebar") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarLeading) { Button { // action } label: { Image(systemName: "plus") } } } } detail: { Text("Detail") } } Tab("Second", systemImage: "doc", value: .second) { Text("Second tab") } } } }

.contactAccessPicker shows blank sheet on iOS 26.2.1 on device
Calling contactAccessPicker results in a blank sheet and a jetsam error, rather than the expected contact picker, using Apple’s sample code, only on device with iOS 26.2.1. This is happening on a iPhone 17 Pro Max running 26.2.1, and not on a simulator. I’m running Apple's sample project Accessing a person’s contact data using Contacts and ContactsUI Steps: Run the sample app on device running iOS 26.2.1. Use the flow to authorize .limited access with 1 contact: Tap request access, Continue, Select Contacts. Select a contact, Continue, Allow Selected Contact. This all works as expected. Tap the add contact button in the toolbar to add a second contact. Expected: This should show the Contact Access Picker UI. Actual: Sheet is shown with no contents. See screenshot of actual results on iOS device running 26.2.1. Reported as FB21812568 I see a similar (same?) error reported for 26.1. It seems strange that the feature is completely broken for multiple point releases. Is anyone else seeing this or are the two of us running into the same rare edge case? Expected Outcome, seen on simulator running 26.2 Actual outcome, seen on device running 26.2.1

Issue keeping scroll position in SwiftUI
Hey there, Link to the sample project: https://github.com/dev-loic/AppleSampleScrolling Context We are working on creating a feed of posts in SwiftUI. So far, we have successfully implemented a classic feed that opens from the top, with bottom pagination — a standard use case. Our goal, however, is to allow the feed to open from any post, not just the first one. For example, we would like to open the feed directly at the 3rd post and then trigger a network call to load elements both above and below it. Our main focus here is on preserving the scroll position while opening the screen and waiting for the network call to complete. To illustrate the issue, I created a sample project (attached) with two screens: MainView, which contains buttons to open the feed in different states. ScrollingView, which initially shows a single element, simulates a 3-second network call, and then populates with new data depending on which button was tapped. I am currently using Xcode 26 beta 6, but I can also reproduce this issue on Xcode 16.3. Tests on sample project I click on a button and just wait the 3 seconds for the call. In this scenario, I expect that the “focused item” stays at the exact same place on the screen. I also expect to see items below and above being added. Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 18.4 with itemsHeight = 100 position = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ works as expected position = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ scroll is reset to the top and we loose the focused item Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 18.4 with itemsHeight = 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible position = 8, 9 ⇒ scroll is reset to the top and we loose the focused item Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 100 or 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Device iPhone 15 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 100 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Device iPhone 15 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ works as expected position = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Not any user interaction Moreover, in this scenario, the user does not interact with the screen during the simulated network call. Regardless of the situation, if the ScrollView is in motion, its position always resets to the top. This behavior prevents us from implementing automatic pagination when scrolling upward, which is ultimately our goal. My conclusion so far As far as I know it seems not possible to have both keeping scroll possible and upward automatic pagination using a SwiftUI LazyVStack inside a ScrollView. This appears to be standard behavior in messaging apps or other feed-based apps, and I’m wondering if I might be missing something. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide on this topic. Cheers

iOS 26: Enabling "Reduce Transparency" causes a persistent white bar where the tab bar was hidden, blocking user interaction
Hi everyone, We're experiencing a bug on iOS 26 that only occurs when the user has Reduce Transparency enabled in Accessibility settings. App structure: Our app uses a TabView with a standard tab bar. Inside each tab, we use a NavigationStack. The tab bar is visible on root-level screens, and hidden on all pushed destinations using: .toolbar(.hidden, for: .tabBar) The problem: On iOS 26 with Reduce Transparency off (Liquid Glass active) — everything works correctly. The tab bar hides as expected. On iOS 26 with Reduce Transparency on — a white bar appears at the bottom of the screen in every place where the tab bar is hidden. This white bar: Overlaps content at the bottom of the screen. Blocks scroll, tap, and all user interactions in that area. We also tried: .toolbarBackground(.hidden, for: .tabBar) Removing all custom UITabBarAppearance configuration The only workaround we found is setting UIDesignRequiresCompatibility = YES in Info.plist, which reverts the entire app to the pre-iOS 26 design — not a viable long-term solution. What can we do? Thanks in advance.

NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: Failed to issue extension
Hi there, I have an SwiftUI app that opens a user selected audio file (wave). For each audio file an additional file exists containing events that were extracted from the audio file. This additional file has the same filename and uses the extension bcCalls. I load the audio file using FileImporter view modifier and within access the audio file with a security scoped bookmark. That works well. After loading the audio I create a CallsSidecar NSFilePresenter with the url of the audio file. I make the presenter known to the NSFileCoordinator and upon this add it to the FileCoordinator. This fails with NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: Failed to issue extension for; Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process" My Info.plist contains an entry for the document with NSIsRelatedItemType set to YES I am using this kind of FilePresenter code in various live apps developed some years ago. Now when starting from scratch on a fresh macOS26 system with most current Xcode I do not manage to get it running. Any ideas welcome! Here is the code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var sonaImg: CGImage? @State private var calls: Array<CallMeasurements> = Array() @State private var soundContainer: BatSoundContainer? @State private var importPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") if self.sonaImg != nil { Image(self.sonaImg!, scale: 1.0, orientation: .left, label: Text("Sonagram")) } if !(self.calls.isEmpty) { List(calls) {aCall in Text("\(aCall.callNumber)") } } Button("Load sound file") { importPresented.toggle() } } .fileImporter(isPresented: $importPresented, allowedContentTypes: [.audio, UTType(filenameExtension: "raw")!], onCompletion: { result in switch result { case .success(let url): let gotAccess = url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() if !gotAccess { return } if let soundContainer = try? BatSoundContainer(with: url) { self.soundContainer = soundContainer self.sonaImg = soundContainer.overviewSonagram(expectedWidth: 800) let callsSidecar = CallsSidecar(withSoundURL: url) let data = callsSidecar.readData() print(data) } url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() case .failure(let error): // handle error print(error) } }) .padding() } } The file presenter according to the WWDC 19 example: class CallsSidecar: NSObject, NSFilePresenter { lazy var presentedItemOperationQueue = OperationQueue.main var primaryPresentedItemURL: URL? var presentedItemURL: URL? init(withSoundURL audioURL: URL) { primaryPresentedItemURL = audioURL presentedItemURL = audioURL.deletingPathExtension().appendingPathExtension("bcCalls") } func readData() -> Data? { var data: Data? var error: NSError? NSFileCoordinator.addFilePresenter(self) let coordinator = NSFileCoordinator.init(filePresenter: self) NSFileCoordinator.addFilePresenter(self) coordinator.coordinate(readingItemAt: presentedItemURL!, options: [], error: &error) { url in data = try!

manageSubscriptionsSheet resulting in "No connection"
I have an iOS app (SwiftUI) that includes recurring subscriptions. To allow users to manage their subscriptions I have implemented manageSubscriptionsSheet according to apple documentation. When I published the app last year for iOS17 and iOS18 this was working well. Now I have gotten a user report that this features yields No connection error instead of the abonnements on iOS26. I have tested on my iPad running iOS 26 as well as on the simulator with iOS 26 and 18. In all cases I get the error. I can press Retry in the dialog and am prompted for AppStore credentials After entering them, again the same error. I can not find a single hint on why and how to fix it. Best wishes, Volker

Reality View Preserves Camera Transform when toggling Virtual & Spatial Tracking modes
When switching from RealityView’s .spatialTracking camera mode to .virtual camera mode, the camera’s orientation relative to the scene is preserved permanently with no way to reset to default World-Up orientation. Since .spatialTracking’s camera mode will always have a non-default orientation, switching to .virtual camera mode ensures that the cameras’s ‘UP’ direction will never match the device display’s ‘UP’ direction as is default. This is especially noticeable when using .orbit camera controls, as the orbit’s UP direction matches the scene, not camera, and all rotation directions give unexpected results. Expected: When setting virtual camera mode after using spatialTracking camera mode, either 1. The Virtual Camera orientation returns to default (world up). Or 2. A 'content.camera.resetOrientation()' call is made available which resets the RealityView camera to default orientation. Reality: Switching from .spatialTracking -> .virtual camera mode permanently locks the .virtual camera’s orientation the final frame of the .spatialTracking camera’s rotation (relative to the RealityView content scene). One imperfect workaround is to reset / rebuild the entire RealityView after changing modes (by resetting .id() or otherwise. This is not ideal as it causes everything inside the make closure to rerun, which not only is a performance & time cost, visually incurs a flicker and can also be problematic with managing increasingly complicated views. Another imperfect alternative is to use more than one RealityView - which is not ideal as it incurs double the base ram usage, significantly increases code, and seemingly goes against the intent of being able to change the camera .virtual/.spatatialTracking mode at will. Code Sample: import SwiftUI import RealityKit struct RKSpatialVirtualToggle: View { @State var showAR: Bool = false var body: some View { RealityView { content in let cube = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateBox(size: 0.25), materials: [SimpleMaterial()]) cube.position.z = -1 content.add(cube) content.camera = showAR ? .spatialTracking : .virtual content.cameraTarget = cube } update: { content in content.camera = showAR ? .spatialTracking : .virtual } .realityViewCameraControls(.orbit) VStack{ Spacer() Button("Toggle AR"){ showAR.toggle() } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } } } Xcode Version: Version 26.0 (17A324) iOS Version: iOS 26.5 (23F75) Tested on devices, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro

SecureField dots invisible in dark mode when iOS suggests and fills a strong password
I am using SwiftUI's native SecureField. When a user types their password manually, the dots render correctly in both light and dark mode. However, when iOS suggests and autofills a strong generated password, the dots become invisible in dark mode. Switching to light mode shows that they are there. Is there a supported way to force SecureField to re-render its secure entry dots correctly after iOS fills in a strong generated password in dark mode? import SwiftUI let warmMustard = Color(red: 0.780, green: 0.659, blue: 0.290) let lightText = Color(red: 0.973, green: 0.961, blue: 0.933) let darkText = Color(red: 0.118, green: 0.118, blue: 0.118) struct SecureFieldTestView: View { @Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme @State private var username = "" @State private var password = "" @State private var confirmPassword = "" var body: some View { ZStack { Color(colorScheme == .dark ? UIColor.black : UIColor.white) .ignoresSafeArea() VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Dark mode dot reproduction") .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) TextField("Username", text: $username) .textContentType(.username) .autocorrectionDisabled() .textInputAutocapitalization(.never) .padding() .background(colorScheme == .dark ? Color.black : Color.white) .cornerRadius(8) .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(warmMustard, lineWidth: 2)) SecureField("Password", text: $password) .textContentType(.newPassword) .padding() .background(colorScheme == .dark ? Color.black : Color.white) .cornerRadius(8) .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(warmMustard, lineWidth: 2)) SecureField("Confirm Password", text: $confirmPassword) .textContentType(.newPassword) .padding() .background(colorScheme == .dark ? Color.black : Color.white) .cornerRadius(8) .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(warmMustard, lineWidth: 2)) } .padding(.horizontal, 32) } } } #Preview { SecureFieldTestView() }

How to set the Locale.current to be same as the Environment locale?
I have this code As you can see, the locale of the Environment is different from the Locale given by .current. This is a problem for me because I have code that uses String(localized:) and AttributedString. I would like to be able to preview them with the locale I set in the Environment without any additional work on my part. I assumed these Apis would use the locale set by the environment but no, it uses the locale as decided by the schema used to build the preview app. The current solution I have is to manually change the App Language in the Preview's scheme to be whatever I need to correctly localize the language in Preview.

How to set custom height for keyboard extension without resize flicker?
Description I'm developing a custom keyboard extension using UIInputViewController and need to set a specific height of 268 points. The keyboard functions correctly, but there's a visible flicker and resize animation during launch that I cannot eliminate. The Problem When the keyboard launches, iOS provides incorrect heights before settling on the correct one. At launch, the view starts at 0×0. Around 295ms later, iOS sets the frame to 440×956 which is full screen height and wrong. Around 373ms, iOS changes it to 440×452 which is still wrong. Finally around 390ms, iOS settles at 440×268 which matches our constraint. This causes visible flicker as the view resizes three times rapidly. The keyboard appears to shrink from full screen down to the correct height, and users can clearly see this animation happening. What I've Tried I've tried adding a height constraint on self.view which gives me the correct height but causes the visible flicker. I created a custom UIInputView subclass and overrode intrinsicContentSize to return my desired height. iOS completely ignores this and gives random heights like 471pt, 680pt, or 956pt instead. I set allowsSelfSizing to true on my UIInputView subclass. iOS ignores this property. I set preferredContentSize on the view controller. iOS ignores this as well. I tried adding the constraint in viewDidAppear instead of viewDidLoad, thinking iOS might have settled by then. It still causes flicker. I overrode the frame and bounds setters on my UIInputView to clamp the height to my desired value. iOS bypasses these overrides somehow. I overrode layoutSubviews to force the correct height after the super call. iOS still applies its own height. Specific Question What is the correct API or technique to specify a keyboard extension's height that iOS will respect immediately upon launch, without triggering the resize animation sequence? Other third-party keyboards like Grammarly and SwiftKey appear to have solved this problem. Their keyboards appear at the correct height without any visible flicker. How do they achieve this? Expected Outcome The keyboard should appear at 268pt height on the first frame with no visible resize animation. Steps to Reproduce Create a new iOS App project in Xcode and add a Keyboard Extension target. In KeyboardViewController.swift, add a height constraint in viewDidLoad: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let heightConstraint = view.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 268) heightConstraint.priority = .defaultHigh heightConstraint.isActive = true let label = UILabel() label.text = "Demo Keyboard" label.textAlignment = .center label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(label) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor) ]) } Build and run on a physical device. Enable the keyboard in Settings, then General, then Keyboard, then Keyboards. Open any app with a text field and switch to the custom keyboard using the globe button. Observe the height changing from around 956pt to 452pt to 268pt with visible animation. Environment iOS 17 and iOS 18 and 26.2, Xcode 16 and Xcode 26, affects all iPhone models tested, reproducible on both simulator and physical device.

SwiftData 'simple' migration failing
This is a long post, so let me start with a summary: I am attempting to implement what "ought to be" a simple SwiftData migration, and am receiving the following fatal error from the ModelContainer initializer: NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134504 "Cannot use staged migration with an unknown model version." The crash occurs both in the Simulator and on a physical device. Both the original schema and the new schema load and run as expected if loaded from scratch — so I conclude the Models are OK; it is the migration from the original schema to the new schema which is the issue. I have reported this as FB22652791 and Technical Incident Case # 19893980. I have two model projects available — one contrived, the other using my actual SwiftData models. Now the Details I am developing a SwiftUI/SwiftData app. I am (currently) using Xcode 26.5-beta-3. I set up an alpha-test build using the following approach: public class DatabaseSchema { public let dbSchema: Schema = Schema([ Model1.self, ... , Model16.self ], version: Schema.Version(0, 9, 0)) public var modelContainer: ModelContainer { let container: ModelContainer let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: dbSchema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { container = try ModelContainer(for: dbSchema, migrationPlan: nil, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Failed to creae model conainer") } return container } This defines database version 0.9. For version 1.0, I made three changes to the database: added an attribute of type String to Model2. added three attributes of type [Struct], where Struct conforms to Codable, Equatable and Hashable to Model3, and added a new model (which I'll call Model17) I define two schemas: public enum Schema090: VersionedSchema { public static var versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(0, 9, 0) public static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ Model1.self, Schema090.Model2.self, Schema090.Model3.self, ... ] } and public enum Schema100: VersionedSchema { public static var versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0) public static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ Model1.swift, Schema100.Model2.self, Schema100.Model3.self, ..., Model16.self, Schema100.Model17.self ] } For models that changed, I use the following approach: public typealias Model3 = Schema100.Model3 extension Schema090 { @Model final class Model3 { ... } public init() { ... } } extension Schema100 { @Model final class Model3 { ... <added attributes, initialized> } public init() { ... } } The DatabaseSchema class was modified as follows: public class DatabaseSchema { public let dbSchema: Schema = Schema([ Model1.self, Schema100.Model2.self, Schema100.Model3.self, ... , Model16.self, Schema100.Model17.self ], version: Schema.Version(1, 0, 0)) public var modelContainer: ModelContainer { let container: ModelContainer let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: dbSchema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { container = try ModelContainer(for: dbSchema, migrationPlan: MigrationPlan.self, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Failed to creae model conainer") } return container } where the migration plan is the trivial custom migration that makes sure that all added attributes of existing records are properly initialized. enum MigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan { static var schemas: [any VersionedSchema.Type] = [ Schema090.self, Schema100.self ] static var stages: [MigrationStage] = [version090ToVersion100] static let version090ToVersion100 = MigrationStage(fromVersion: Schema090.self, toVersion: Schema100.self, willMigrate: { _ in }, didMigrate: { context in let models = try context.fetch( FetchDescriptor<Schema100.Model3>()) for model in models { < initial the added attributes > { try context.save() }) } This is all simple stuff. Nothing particularly fancy here. But running this code always crashes in the ModelContainer initializer. In my two sample projects, I get two different error messages — in the contrived example, the error message is Code=134110 "An error occurred during persistent store migration." reason=Cannot migrate store in-place: Validation error missing attribute values on mandatory destination attribute, ... and in the sample project that uses my actual data model, I get NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134504 "Cannot use staged migration with an unknown model version." My Thoughts Since obviously most folks are doing SwiftData migrations without the problems I am experiencing, the obvious possibilities are I'm doing something stupid that I just don't see. There is a problem because the original schema was given a version value of Schema.Version(0, 9, 0). (i.e., major version number was 0) There is a problem because I am adding an attribute of type [Struct] where Struct is Codable, Hashable, and Equatable. I.e., migration isn't working properly with attributes which are stored as their codable representations. Or maybe something else? In any case, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

AttributedString Localization does not seem to work
I have this code struct TestAppleSuggestion: View { @Environment(\.locale) var locale: Locale var body: some View { VStack { VStack { Text("locale: \(locale.identifier)") Text(AttributedString(localized: LocalizedStringResource( "welcome", locale: locale ))) Text(AttributedString(localized: "welcome", locale: locale )) } } } } #Preview { TestAppleSuggestion().environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "fr-CA")) } Heres What I see in SwiftUi Previews The Localization is working for the LocalizedStringResource but not to the AttributedString. Why?

@State changes in Xcode 27 are causing variable definitions spanning multiple lines to produce unexpected compiler errors.
On Xcode 27, the compiler incorrectly errors when a @State variable definition is placed on multiple lines. The code compiles without any issues on Xcode 26 and is valid Swift. The issue is fixed if the var definition is placed on a single line. The following code produces issues: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" However, the code below works: @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" The issue is reproducible in any new project with a simple view: import SwiftUI import Playgrounds @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State internal var bodyText = "Hi" var body: some View { Text(bodyText) .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } The expected behavior is for valid Swift code to not trigger compiler error.

Reorderable with Xcode previews
I was playing around with the brand-new reorderable API and couldn't get it to work within previews. Is there a specific way to get previews to work with reorderable, or do I need to compile every time? I was also curious if there will be an addition to the Array generic struct, as it seems like the solution there currently is is just an extension, although the way it's being promoted makes it seem like it is built into the type.

Is there a way to change the default scroll edge effect?
It seems like the automatic edge effect defaults to hard in iOS 27 and soft on iOS 26. Designing for both of these is actually quite difficult - especially since hard edge effects don't work with pinned views in LazyVStack. Is there a way to set the global default to soft for an app?

How to present a View above everything in SwiftUI?
Hello, I'm trying to present an app overlay (like an HUD) that should appear on top of everything (the app UI could be the root content view or a modal presented from the content view or a modal over a modal presented from the content view, etc.). If I use a ZStack for example, the issue is that the view is not visible if the ZStack is presenting a modal for example. In UIKit, I think we can use instantiate another UIWindow to show content above the top window of the app (what a native alert does if I'm not wrong). What would be the equivalent in SwiftUI? How could I create this? Thanks, Axel

Wrong position of searchable component on first render
Hey all, I found a weird behaviour with the searchable component. I created a custom bottom nav bar (because I have custom design in my app) to switch between screens. On one screen I display a List component with the searchable component. Whenever I enter the search screen the first time, the searchable component is displayed at the bottom. This is wrong. It should be displayed at the top under the navigationTitle. When I enter the screen a second time, everything is correct. This behaviour can be reproduced on all iOS 26 versions on the simulator and on a physical device with debug and release build. On iOS 18 everything works fine. Steps to reproduce: Cold start of the app Click on Search TabBarIcon (searchable wrong location) Click on Home TabBarIcon Click on Search TabBarIcon (searchable correct location) Simple code example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var selectedTab: Page = Page.main var body: some View { NavigationStack { ZStack { VStack { switch selectedTab { case .main: MainView() case .search: SearchView() } } VStack { Spacer() VStack(spacing: 0) { HStack(spacing: 0) { TabBarIcon(iconName: "house", selected: selectedTab == .main, displayName: "Home") .onTapGesture { selectedTab = .main } TabBarIcon(iconName: "magnifyingglass", selected: selectedTab == .search, displayName: "Search") .onTapGesture { selectedTab = .search } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .frame(height: 55) .background(Color.gray) } .ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .bottom) } } } } } struct TabBarIcon: View { let iconName: String let selected: Bool let displayName: String var body: some View { ZStack { VStack { Image(systemName: iconName) .resizable() .renderingMode(.template) .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) .foregroundColor(Color.black) .frame(width: 22, height: 22) Text(displayName) .font(Font.system(size: 10)) } } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } } enum Page { case main case search } struct MainView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .navigationTitle("Home") } } struct SearchView: View { @State private var searchText = "" let items = [ "Apple", "Banana", "Pear", "Strawberry", "Orange", "Peach", "Grape", "Mango" ] var filteredItems: [String] { if searchText.isEmpty { return items } else { return items.filter { $0.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(searchText) } } } var body: some View { List(filteredItems, id: \.self) { item in Text(item) } .navigationTitle("Fruits") .searchable(text: $searchText, placement: .navigationBarDrawer(displayMode: .always), prompt: "Search") } }

SwiftUI NavigationSplitView sidebar toolbar has excessive top inset when embedded in TabView since iPadOS 26.4
I’m seeing a layout regression in SwiftUI on iPadOS 26.4 involving NavigationSplitView inside a TabView. When a NavigationSplitView is embedded in a TabView, the sidebar toolbar appears to reserve too much vertical space. There is a large vertical gap between the top edge of the sidebar and the sidebar collapse/toggle icon. It looks as if the sidebar toolbar itself has become much taller than expected. The same NavigationSplitView layout is rendered correctly when it is shown directly without being embedded in a TabView. Environment: iPadOS 26.4 or later SwiftUI iPad TabView NavigationSplitView inside one tab Expected behavior The sidebar toolbar should use its normal height, as it does when the same NavigationSplitView is shown without a surrounding TabView. The sidebar collapse/toggle icon should appear close to the top of the sidebar, without a large empty gap above it. Actual behavior When the NavigationSplitView is hosted inside a TabView, the sidebar toolbar area becomes excessively tall. A large empty space appears above the sidebar collapse/toggle icon. This only happens in the TabView setup. Rendering the same NavigationSplitView directly does not show the issue. Feedback I also filed this as Feedback Assistant report: FB22645938 Has anyone else seen this behavior since iPadOS 26.4? Is this an intentional layout change, or is there a supported way to avoid this additional top inset when using NavigationSplitView inside TabView? Reproduction import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { enum AppTab { case first case second } @State private var selectedTab: AppTab = .first var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { Tab("First", systemImage: "sidebar.leading", value: .first) { NavigationSplitView { List { Section("Sidebar Content") { ForEach(1...20, id: \.self) { index in Text("Item \(index)") } } } .navigationTitle("Sidebar") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarLeading) { Button { // action } label: { Image(systemName: "plus") } } } } detail: { Text("Detail") } } Tab("Second", systemImage: "doc", value: .second) { Text("Second tab") } } } }

.contactAccessPicker shows blank sheet on iOS 26.2.1 on device
Calling contactAccessPicker results in a blank sheet and a jetsam error, rather than the expected contact picker, using Apple’s sample code, only on device with iOS 26.2.1. This is happening on a iPhone 17 Pro Max running 26.2.1, and not on a simulator. I’m running Apple's sample project Accessing a person’s contact data using Contacts and ContactsUI Steps: Run the sample app on device running iOS 26.2.1. Use the flow to authorize .limited access with 1 contact: Tap request access, Continue, Select Contacts. Select a contact, Continue, Allow Selected Contact. This all works as expected. Tap the add contact button in the toolbar to add a second contact. Expected: This should show the Contact Access Picker UI. Actual: Sheet is shown with no contents. See screenshot of actual results on iOS device running 26.2.1. Reported as FB21812568 I see a similar (same?) error reported for 26.1. It seems strange that the feature is completely broken for multiple point releases. Is anyone else seeing this or are the two of us running into the same rare edge case? Expected Outcome, seen on simulator running 26.2 Actual outcome, seen on device running 26.2.1

Issue keeping scroll position in SwiftUI
Hey there, Link to the sample project: https://github.com/dev-loic/AppleSampleScrolling Context We are working on creating a feed of posts in SwiftUI. So far, we have successfully implemented a classic feed that opens from the top, with bottom pagination — a standard use case. Our goal, however, is to allow the feed to open from any post, not just the first one. For example, we would like to open the feed directly at the 3rd post and then trigger a network call to load elements both above and below it. Our main focus here is on preserving the scroll position while opening the screen and waiting for the network call to complete. To illustrate the issue, I created a sample project (attached) with two screens: MainView, which contains buttons to open the feed in different states. ScrollingView, which initially shows a single element, simulates a 3-second network call, and then populates with new data depending on which button was tapped. I am currently using Xcode 26 beta 6, but I can also reproduce this issue on Xcode 16.3. Tests on sample project I click on a button and just wait the 3 seconds for the call. In this scenario, I expect that the “focused item” stays at the exact same place on the screen. I also expect to see items below and above being added. Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 18.4 with itemsHeight = 100 position = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ works as expected position = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ scroll is reset to the top and we loose the focused item Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 18.4 with itemsHeight = 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible position = 8, 9 ⇒ scroll is reset to the top and we loose the focused item Simulator iPhone 16 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 100 or 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Device iPhone 15 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 100 position = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ⇒ works as expected position = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Device iPhone 15 / iOS 26 with itemsHeight = 500 position = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ works as expected position = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ I have a glitch (the focused element moves on the screen) but the focused element is still visible Not any user interaction Moreover, in this scenario, the user does not interact with the screen during the simulated network call. Regardless of the situation, if the ScrollView is in motion, its position always resets to the top. This behavior prevents us from implementing automatic pagination when scrolling upward, which is ultimately our goal. My conclusion so far As far as I know it seems not possible to have both keeping scroll possible and upward automatic pagination using a SwiftUI LazyVStack inside a ScrollView. This appears to be standard behavior in messaging apps or other feed-based apps, and I’m wondering if I might be missing something. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide on this topic. Cheers

iOS 26: Enabling "Reduce Transparency" causes a persistent white bar where the tab bar was hidden, blocking user interaction
Hi everyone, We're experiencing a bug on iOS 26 that only occurs when the user has Reduce Transparency enabled in Accessibility settings. App structure: Our app uses a TabView with a standard tab bar. Inside each tab, we use a NavigationStack. The tab bar is visible on root-level screens, and hidden on all pushed destinations using: .toolbar(.hidden, for: .tabBar) The problem: On iOS 26 with Reduce Transparency off (Liquid Glass active) — everything works correctly. The tab bar hides as expected. On iOS 26 with Reduce Transparency on — a white bar appears at the bottom of the screen in every place where the tab bar is hidden. This white bar: Overlaps content at the bottom of the screen. Blocks scroll, tap, and all user interactions in that area. We also tried: .toolbarBackground(.hidden, for: .tabBar) Removing all custom UITabBarAppearance configuration The only workaround we found is setting UIDesignRequiresCompatibility = YES in Info.plist, which reverts the entire app to the pre-iOS 26 design — not a viable long-term solution. What can we do? Thanks in advance.

NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: Failed to issue extension
Hi there, I have an SwiftUI app that opens a user selected audio file (wave). For each audio file an additional file exists containing events that were extracted from the audio file. This additional file has the same filename and uses the extension bcCalls. I load the audio file using FileImporter view modifier and within access the audio file with a security scoped bookmark. That works well. After loading the audio I create a CallsSidecar NSFilePresenter with the url of the audio file. I make the presenter known to the NSFileCoordinator and upon this add it to the FileCoordinator. This fails with NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: Failed to issue extension for; Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process" My Info.plist contains an entry for the document with NSIsRelatedItemType set to YES I am using this kind of FilePresenter code in various live apps developed some years ago. Now when starting from scratch on a fresh macOS26 system with most current Xcode I do not manage to get it running. Any ideas welcome! Here is the code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var sonaImg: CGImage? @State private var calls: Array<CallMeasurements> = Array() @State private var soundContainer: BatSoundContainer? @State private var importPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") if self.sonaImg != nil { Image(self.sonaImg!, scale: 1.0, orientation: .left, label: Text("Sonagram")) } if !(self.calls.isEmpty) { List(calls) {aCall in Text("\(aCall.callNumber)") } } Button("Load sound file") { importPresented.toggle() } } .fileImporter(isPresented: $importPresented, allowedContentTypes: [.audio, UTType(filenameExtension: "raw")!], onCompletion: { result in switch result { case .success(let url): let gotAccess = url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() if !gotAccess { return } if let soundContainer = try? BatSoundContainer(with: url) { self.soundContainer = soundContainer self.sonaImg = soundContainer.overviewSonagram(expectedWidth: 800) let callsSidecar = CallsSidecar(withSoundURL: url) let data = callsSidecar.readData() print(data) } url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() case .failure(let error): // handle error print(error) } }) .padding() } } The file presenter according to the WWDC 19 example: class CallsSidecar: NSObject, NSFilePresenter { lazy var presentedItemOperationQueue = OperationQueue.main var primaryPresentedItemURL: URL? var presentedItemURL: URL? init(withSoundURL audioURL: URL) { primaryPresentedItemURL = audioURL presentedItemURL = audioURL.deletingPathExtension().appendingPathExtension("bcCalls") } func readData() -> Data? { var data: Data? var error: NSError?

manageSubscriptionsSheet resulting in "No connection"
I have an iOS app (SwiftUI) that includes recurring subscriptions. To allow users to manage their subscriptions I have implemented manageSubscriptionsSheet according to apple documentation. When I published the app last year for iOS17 and iOS18 this was working well. Now I have gotten a user report that this features yields No connection error instead of the abonnements on iOS26. I have tested on my iPad running iOS 26 as well as on the simulator with iOS 26 and 18. In all cases I get the error. I can press Retry in the dialog and am prompted for AppStore credentials After entering them, again the same error. I can not find a single hint on why and how to fix it. Best wishes, Volker

Reality View Preserves Camera Transform when toggling Virtual & Spatial Tracking modes
When switching from RealityView’s .spatialTracking camera mode to .virtual camera mode, the camera’s orientation relative to the scene is preserved permanently with no way to reset to default World-Up orientation. Since .spatialTracking’s camera mode will always have a non-default orientation, switching to .virtual camera mode ensures that the cameras’s ‘UP’ direction will never match the device display’s ‘UP’ direction as is default. This is especially noticeable when using .orbit camera controls, as the orbit’s UP direction matches the scene, not camera, and all rotation directions give unexpected results. Expected: When setting virtual camera mode after using spatialTracking camera mode, either 1. The Virtual Camera orientation returns to default (world up). Or 2. A 'content.camera.resetOrientation()' call is made available which resets the RealityView camera to default orientation. Reality: Switching from .spatialTracking -> .virtual camera mode permanently locks the .virtual camera’s orientation the final frame of the .spatialTracking camera’s rotation (relative to the RealityView content scene). One imperfect workaround is to reset / rebuild the entire RealityView after changing modes (by resetting .id() or otherwise. This is not ideal as it causes everything inside the make closure to rerun, which not only is a performance & time cost, visually incurs a flicker and can also be problematic with managing increasingly complicated views. Another imperfect alternative is to use more than one RealityView - which is not ideal as it incurs double the base ram usage, significantly increases code, and seemingly goes against the intent of being able to change the camera .virtual/.spatatialTracking mode at will. Code Sample: import SwiftUI import RealityKit struct RKSpatialVirtualToggle: View { @State var showAR: Bool = false var body: some View { RealityView { content in let cube = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateBox(size: 0.25), materials: [SimpleMaterial()]) cube.position.z = -1 content.add(cube) content.camera = showAR ? .spatialTracking : .virtual content.cameraTarget = cube } update: { content in content.camera = showAR ? .spatialTracking : .virtual } .realityViewCameraControls(.orbit) VStack{ Spacer() Button("Toggle AR"){ showAR.toggle() } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } } } Xcode Version: Version 26.0 (17A324) iOS Version: iOS 26.5 (23F75) Tested on devices, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro

SecureField dots invisible in dark mode when iOS suggests and fills a strong password
I am using SwiftUI's native SecureField. When a user types their password manually, the dots render correctly in both light and dark mode. However, when iOS suggests and autofills a strong generated password, the dots become invisible in dark mode. Switching to light mode shows that they are there. Is there a supported way to force SecureField to re-render its secure entry dots correctly after iOS fills in a strong generated password in dark mode? import SwiftUI let warmMustard = Color(red: 0.780, green: 0.659, blue: 0.290) let lightText = Color(red: 0.973, green: 0.961, blue: 0.933) let darkText = Color(red: 0.118, green: 0.118, blue: 0.118) struct SecureFieldTestView: View { @Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme @State private var username = "" @State private var password = "" @State private var confirmPassword = "" var body: some View { ZStack { Color(colorScheme == .dark ? UIColor.black : UIColor.white) .ignoresSafeArea() VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Dark mode dot reproduction") .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) TextField("Username", text: $username) .textContentType(.username) .autocorrectionDisabled() .textInputAutocapitalization(.never) .padding() .background(colorScheme == .dark ? Color.black : Color.white) .cornerRadius(8) .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(warmMustard, lineWidth: 2)) SecureField("Password", text: $password) .textContentType(.newPassword) .padding() .background(colorScheme == .dark ? Color.black : Color.white) .cornerRadius(8) .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(warmMustard, lineWidth: 2)) SecureField("Confirm Password", text: $confirmPassword) .textContentType(.newPassword) .padding() .background(colorScheme == .dark ? Color.black : Color.white) .cornerRadius(8) .foregroundColor(colorScheme == .dark ? .white : .black) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(warmMustard, lineWidth: 2)) } .padding(.horizontal, 32) } } } #Preview { SecureFieldTestView() }

How to set the Locale.current to be same as the Environment locale?
I have this code As you can see, the locale of the Environment is different from the Locale given by .current. This is a problem for me because I have code that uses String(localized:) and AttributedString. I would like to be able to preview them with the locale I set in the Environment without any additional work on my part. I assumed these Apis would use the locale set by the environment but no, it uses the locale as decided by the schema used to build the preview app. The current solution I have is to manually change the App Language in the Preview's scheme to be whatever I need to correctly localize the language in Preview.

How to set custom height for keyboard extension without resize flicker?
Description I'm developing a custom keyboard extension using UIInputViewController and need to set a specific height of 268 points. The keyboard functions correctly, but there's a visible flicker and resize animation during launch that I cannot eliminate. The Problem When the keyboard launches, iOS provides incorrect heights before settling on the correct one. At launch, the view starts at 0×0. Around 295ms later, iOS sets the frame to 440×956 which is full screen height and wrong. Around 373ms, iOS changes it to 440×452 which is still wrong. Finally around 390ms, iOS settles at 440×268 which matches our constraint. This causes visible flicker as the view resizes three times rapidly. The keyboard appears to shrink from full screen down to the correct height, and users can clearly see this animation happening. What I've Tried I've tried adding a height constraint on self.view which gives me the correct height but causes the visible flicker. I created a custom UIInputView subclass and overrode intrinsicContentSize to return my desired height. iOS completely ignores this and gives random heights like 471pt, 680pt, or 956pt instead. I set allowsSelfSizing to true on my UIInputView subclass. iOS ignores this property. I set preferredContentSize on the view controller. iOS ignores this as well. I tried adding the constraint in viewDidAppear instead of viewDidLoad, thinking iOS might have settled by then. It still causes flicker. I overrode the frame and bounds setters on my UIInputView to clamp the height to my desired value. iOS bypasses these overrides somehow. I overrode layoutSubviews to force the correct height after the super call. iOS still applies its own height. Specific Question What is the correct API or technique to specify a keyboard extension's height that iOS will respect immediately upon launch, without triggering the resize animation sequence? Other third-party keyboards like Grammarly and SwiftKey appear to have solved this problem. Their keyboards appear at the correct height without any visible flicker. How do they achieve this? Expected Outcome The keyboard should appear at 268pt height on the first frame with no visible resize animation. Steps to Reproduce Create a new iOS App project in Xcode and add a Keyboard Extension target. In KeyboardViewController.swift, add a height constraint in viewDidLoad: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let heightConstraint = view.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 268) heightConstraint.priority = .defaultHigh heightConstraint.isActive = true let label = UILabel() label.text = "Demo Keyboard" label.textAlignment = .center label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(label) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), label.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor) ]) } Build and run on a physical device. Enable the keyboard in Settings, then General, then Keyboard, then Keyboards. Open any app with a text field and switch to the custom keyboard using the globe button. Observe the height changing from around 956pt to 452pt to 268pt with visible animation. Environment iOS 17 and iOS 18 and 26.2, Xcode 16 and Xcode 26, affects all iPhone models tested, reproducible on both simulator and physical device.

SwiftData 'simple' migration failing
This is a long post, so let me start with a summary: I am attempting to implement what "ought to be" a simple SwiftData migration, and am receiving the following fatal error from the ModelContainer initializer: NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134504 "Cannot use staged migration with an unknown model version." The crash occurs both in the Simulator and on a physical device. Both the original schema and the new schema load and run as expected if loaded from scratch — so I conclude the Models are OK; it is the migration from the original schema to the new schema which is the issue. I have reported this as FB22652791 and Technical Incident Case # 19893980. I have two model projects available — one contrived, the other using my actual SwiftData models. Now the Details I am developing a SwiftUI/SwiftData app. I am (currently) using Xcode 26.5-beta-3. I set up an alpha-test build using the following approach: public class DatabaseSchema { public let dbSchema: Schema = Schema([ Model1.self, ... , Model16.self ], version: Schema.Version(0, 9, 0)) public var modelContainer: ModelContainer { let container: ModelContainer let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: dbSchema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { container = try ModelContainer(for: dbSchema, migrationPlan: nil, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Failed to creae model conainer") } return container } This defines database version 0.9. For version 1.0, I made three changes to the database: added an attribute of type String to Model2. added three attributes of type [Struct], where Struct conforms to Codable, Equatable and Hashable to Model3, and added a new model (which I'll call Model17) I define two schemas: public enum Schema090: VersionedSchema { public static var versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(0, 9, 0) public static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ Model1.self, Schema090.Model2.self, Schema090.Model3.self, ... ] } and public enum Schema100: VersionedSchema { public static var versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0) public static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ Model1.swift, Schema100.Model2.self, Schema100.Model3.self, ..., Model16.self, Schema100.Model17.self ] } For models that changed, I use the following approach: public typealias Model3 = Schema100.Model3 extension Schema090 { @Model final class Model3 { ... } public init() { ... } } extension Schema100 { @Model final class Model3 { ... <added attributes, initialized> } public init() { ... } } The DatabaseSchema class was modified as follows: public class DatabaseSchema { public let dbSchema: Schema = Schema([ Model1.self, Schema100.Model2.self, Schema100.Model3.self, ... , Model16.self, Schema100.Model17.self ], version: Schema.Version(1, 0, 0)) public var modelContainer: ModelContainer { let container: ModelContainer let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: dbSchema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { container = try ModelContainer(for: dbSchema, migrationPlan: MigrationPlan.self, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Failed to creae model conainer") } return container } where the migration plan is the trivial custom migration that makes sure that all added attributes of existing records are properly initialized. enum MigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan { static var schemas: [any VersionedSchema.Type] = [ Schema090.self, Schema100.self ] static var stages: [MigrationStage] = [version090ToVersion100] static let version090ToVersion100 = MigrationStage(fromVersion: Schema090.self, toVersion: Schema100.self, willMigrate: { _ in }, didMigrate: { context in let models = try context.fetch( FetchDescriptor<Schema100.Model3>()) for model in models { < initial the added attributes > { try context.save() }) } This is all simple stuff. Nothing particularly fancy here. But running this code always crashes in the ModelContainer initializer. In my two sample projects, I get two different error messages — in the contrived example, the error message is Code=134110 "An error occurred during persistent store migration." reason=Cannot migrate store in-place: Validation error missing attribute values on mandatory destination attribute, ... and in the sample project that uses my actual data model, I get NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134504 "Cannot use staged migration with an unknown model version." My Thoughts Since obviously most folks are doing SwiftData migrations without the problems I am experiencing, the obvious possibilities are I'm doing something stupid that I just don't see. There is a problem because the original schema was given a version value of Schema.Version(0, 9, 0). (i.e., major version number was 0) There is a problem because I am adding an attribute of type [Struct] where Struct is Codable, Hashable, and Equatable. I.e., migration isn't working properly with attributes which are stored as their codable representations. Or maybe something else? In any case, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

AttributedString Localization does not seem to work
I have this code struct TestAppleSuggestion: View { @Environment(\.locale) var locale: Locale var body: some View { VStack { VStack { Text("locale: \(locale.identifier)") Text(AttributedString(localized: LocalizedStringResource( "welcome", locale: locale ))) Text(AttributedString(localized: "welcome", locale: locale )) } } } } #Preview { TestAppleSuggestion().environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "fr-CA")) } Heres What I see in SwiftUi Previews The Localization is working for the LocalizedStringResource but not to the AttributedString. Why?
