The sidebar toggle of the NavigationSplitView disappears when used with a .inspector modifier on iPadOS 26
If the NavigationSplitView on iPadOS 26 is combined with a .inspector column, the sidebarToggle is always hidden, when the sidebar is collapsed. If you remove the .inspector modifier, the sidebarToggle stays visible throughout the collapsed or expanded state. Has maybe someone a workaround for this issue? The problem does not exist in iOS 18. The bug is reported as FB20061260

iOS 26 - ToolbarItem with .keyboard placement adds additional positive/negative top margin
Since iOS 26, when using toolbar items with .keyboard placement, the view inside the hierarchy which is pushed, does not directly stick to the toolbar anymore when a text field is focused, creating a gap, or moving the view below the toolbar. Focusing another field pushes the layout below the toolbar. Minimal example to reproduce the issue. import SwiftUI import Foundation @main struct testfocusApp: App { @State var showSheet = false var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { enum Field: Hashable { case body case title } @State var titleText = "" @State var bodyText = "" @FocusState private var focusedField: Field? var body: some View { NavigationView { VStack(spacing: 0) { ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 16) { TextField("", text: $titleText) .onSubmit { focusedField = .body } .background(Color.red) .focused($focusedField, equals: .title) VStack(spacing: 0) { VStack { Text(bodyText) .padding(.vertical, 9) .padding(.horizontal, 5) .hidden() TextEditor( text: $bodyText ) .focused($focusedField, equals: .body) } } } .padding(20) } Spacer() VStack(spacing: 16) { Text("message") Button { } label: { Text("Save") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } } .border(Color.red) .background(Color.green) } .background(Color.yellow) .border(Color.purple) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .keyboard) { Button("Done") { } .border(Color.purple) } } } } }

ManipulationComponent + Warning messages in RealityView
Hi guys! I wanted to study this new ManipulationComponent(), but I keep getting a warning that I don’t understand, even in a very simple scenario. i don't have any collisions just binding the Manipulation the warning message is : ** Entity returned from EntityWrapper.makeEntity(context:) was already parented to another entity. This is not supported and may lead to unexpected behavior. SwiftUI adds entities to internally-managed entity hierarchies.** RealityView { content, attachments in if let loadedModel = try? await Entity(named: "cloud_glb", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(loadedModel) loadedModel.components.set(ManipulationComponent()) } Thanks !

SwiftData and CloudKit: NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData Error
I just made a small test app that uses SwiftData with CloudKit capability. I created a simple Book model as seen below. It looks like enums and structs when used with CloudKit capability all trigger this error: 'NSKeyedUnarchiveFromData' should not be used to for un-archiving and will be removed in a future release I fixed the error by using genreRaw String and using a computed property to use it in the app, but it popped back up after adding the ReadingProgress struct Should I ignore the error and assume Apple still supports enums and codable structs when using SwiftData with CloudKit? import SwiftData @Model class Book { var title: String = "" var author: String = "" var genreRaw: String = Genre.fantasy.rawValue var review: String = "" var rating: Int = 3 var progress: ReadingProgress? var genre: Genre { get { Genre(rawValue: genreRaw) ?? Genre.fantasy } set { genreRaw = newValue.rawValue } } init(title: String, author: String, genre: Genre, review: String, rating: Int, progress: ReadingProgress? = nil) { self.title = title self.author = author self.genre = genre self.review = review self.rating = rating self.progress = progress } } struct ReadingProgress: Codable { var currentPage: Int var totalPages: Int var isFinished: Bool var percentComplete: Double { guard totalPages > 0 else { return 0 } return Double(currentPage) / Double(totalPages) * 100 } } enum Genre: String, Codable, CaseIterable { case fantasy case scienceFiction case mystery case romance var displayName: String { switch self { case .fantasy: return "Fantasy" case .scienceFiction: return "Science Fiction" case .mystery: return "Mystery" case .romance: return "Romance" } } }

Volumetric window not sharing in SharePlay session for VisionOS
I've been struggling with this for far too long so I've decided to finally come here and see if anyone can point me to the documentation that I'm missing. I'm sure it's something so simple but I just can't figure it out. I can SharePlay our test app with my brother (device to device) but when I open a volumetric window, it says "not shared" under it. I assume this will likely fix the video sharing problem we have as well. Everything else works so smooth but SharePlay has just been such a struggle for me. It's the last piece to the puzzle before we can put it on the App Store.

Rendering scene in RealityView to an Image
Is there any way to render a RealityView to an Image/UIImage like we used to be able to do using SCNView.snapshot() ? ImageRenderer doesn't work because it renders a SwiftUI view hierarchy, and I need the currently presented RealityView with camera background and 3D scene content the way the user sees it I tried UIHostingController and UIGraphicsImageRenderer like extension View { func snapshot() -> UIImage { let controller = UIHostingController(rootView: self) let view = controller.view let targetSize = controller.view.intrinsicContentSize view?.bounds = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: targetSize) view?.backgroundColor = .clear let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: targetSize) return renderer.image { _ in view?.drawHierarchy(in: view!.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true) } } } but that leads to the app freezing and sending an infinite loop of [CAMetalLayer nextDrawable] returning nil because allocation failed. Same thing happens when I try return renderer.image { ctx in view.layer.render(in: ctx.cgContext) } Now that SceneKit is deprecated, I didn't want to start a new app using deprecated APIs.

CloudKit Query on Custom Indexed Field fails with misleading "createdBy is not queryable" error
Hello everyone, I am experiencing a persistent authentication error when querying a custom user profile record, and the error message seems to be a red herring. My Setup: I have a custom CKRecord type called ColaboradorProfile. When a new user signs up, I create this record and store their hashed password, salt, nickname, and a custom field called loginIdentifier (which is just their lowercase username). In the CloudKit Dashboard, I have manually added an index for loginIdentifier and set it to Queryable and Searchable. I have deployed this schema to Production. The Problem: During login, I run an async function to find the user's profile using this indexed loginIdentifier. Here is the relevant authentication code: func autenticar() async { // ... setup code (isLoading, etc.) let lowercasedUsername = username.lowercased() // My predicate ONLY filters on 'loginIdentifier' let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "loginIdentifier == %@", lowercasedUsername) let query = CKQuery(recordType: "ColaboradorProfile", predicate: predicate) // I only need these specific keys let desiredKeys = ["password", "passwordSalt", "nickname", "isAdmin", "isSubAdmin", "username"] let database = CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase do { // This is the line that throws the error let result = try await database.records(matching: query, desiredKeys: desiredKeys, resultsLimit: 1) // ... (rest of the password verification logic) } catch { // The error always lands here logDebug("Error authenticating with CloudKit: \(error.localizedDescription)") await MainActor.run { self.errorMessage = "Connection Error: \(error.localizedDescription)" self.isLoading = false self.showAlert = true } } } The Error: Even though my query predicate only references loginIdentifier, the catch block consistently reports this error: Error authenticating with CloudKit: Field 'createdBy' is not marked queryable. I know createdBy (the system creatorUserRecordID) is not queryable by default, but my query isn't touching that field. I already tried indexing createdBy just in case, but the error persists. It seems CloudKit cannot find or use my index for loginIdentifier and is incorrectly reporting a fallback error related to a system field. Has anyone seen this behavior? Why would CloudKit report an error about createdBy when the query is explicitly on an indexed, custom field? I'm new to Swift and I'm struggling quite a bit. Thank you,

scenePhase not work consistently on watchOS
Hi there, I'm using WCSession to communicate watchOS companion with its iOS app. Every time watch app becomes "active", it needs to fetch data from iOS app, which works e.g. turning my hand back and forth. But only when the app is opened after it was minimised by pressing digital crown, it didn't fetch data. My assumption is that scenePhase doesn't emit a change on reopen. Here is the ContentView of watch app: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @EnvironmentObject private var iOSAppConnector: IOSAppConnector @Environment(\.scenePhase) private var scenePhase @State private var showOpenCategories = true var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { if iOSAppConnector.items.isEmpty { WelcomeView() } else { ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 10) { ForEach(iOSAppConnector.items, id: \.self.name) { item in ItemView(item: item) } } } .task { DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) { loadItems() } } .onChange(of: scenePhase, initial: true) { newPhase, _ in if newPhase == .active { loadItems() } } } fileprivate func loadItems() -> Void { if iOSAppConnector.items.isEmpty { iOSAppConnector.loadItems() } } } What could be the issue? Thanks. Best regards Sanjeev

visionOS Widget Bug
When I was developing the visionOS 26beta Widget, I found that it could not work normally when the real vision OS was running, and an error would appear. Please adopt container background api It is worth mentioning that this problem does not occur on the visionOS virtual machine. Does anyone know what the reason and solution are, or whether this is a visionOS error that needs Feedback? Thank you!

Concentric corners not working
I want the gray view to have concentric corners with the device border. That works. Then I want the blue rectangle to have concentric corners with the gray view. That does not work. Instead the blue rectangle is also concentric with the device border. Once I add other content like a Text element, the corner radius breaks. How can I make this work? .containerShape does not take a ConcentricContainerShape. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { List { Text("Content") } .overlay(alignment: .bottom) { content } .ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .bottom) } var content: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Rectangle() .foregroundStyle(.blue) .frame(width: 100, height: 100) .clipShape(.rect(corners: .concentric, isUniform: true)) Text("Custom Container") } .padding(20) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) .background(Color.gray, in: .rect(corners: .concentric, isUniform: true)) .padding(15) } }

SwiftUI List optional refreshable
Currently refreshable modifier does not support nil as a value and there's no way of disabling refreshable without recreating the whole view. There are a few posts showing how refreshable could be optionally disabled on scrollViews using: \EnvironmentValues.refresh as? WritableKeyPath<EnvironmentValues, RefreshAction?> https://stackoverflow.com/a/77587703 However, this approach doesn't seem to work with Lists. Has anyone find any solutions for this?

Universal Link
Hello, I'm developing a feature for my app, that allows users to challenge their friends. The friend request functionality is built using Universal Links, but I've run into a significant issue. The Universal Links are correctly deep-linking into the app. However, once the app opens, nothing happens—the friend request acceptance or rejection flow does not occur. This prevents users from completing friend requests and building their friend list. Here are examples of the Universal Links I'm generating: https://www.strike-force.app/invite?type=invite&amp;amp;userID=... https://www.strike-force.app/invite?type=invite&amp;amp;friendRequestID=... https://www.strike-force.app/profile?userID=... I've recently updated my cloudflare-worker.js to serve a paths array of ["*"] in the AASA file, so I believe the links themselves should be valid. Technical Details &amp;amp; Error Logs In the console, I am consistently seeing the following error message: Cannot issue sandbox extension for URL:https://www.strike-force.app/invite?token=7EF1E439-090B-4DF2-BE64-9904F50A3F8B Received port for identifier response: &amp;lt;(null)&amp;gt; with error:Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Client not entitled" UserInfo={RBSEntitlement=com.apple.runningboard.process-state, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Client not entitled, RBSPermanent=false} elapsedCPUTimeForFrontBoard couldn't generate a task port This error appears to be related to entitlements and process state, but I am not sure if it's the root cause of the Universal Link issue or a separate problem. The 'Client not entitled' error on line 3 has had me chasing down entitlements issues. But, I've added the Associated Domains entitlement with the proper applink URLs and verified this in my Developer Portal. I've regenerated my provisioning profile, manually installed it, and selected/de-selected Automatically Manage Signing. As well I've verified my AASA file and it's correctly being served via HTTPS and returning a 200. curl -i https://strike-force.app/.well-known/apple-app-site-association curl -i https://www.strike-force.app/.well-known/apple-app-site-association I am looking for guidance on why the friend request flow is not being triggered after a successful deep-link and how I can fix the related error. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Title and Subtitle in Control Widget on macOS Tahoe?
Hi 🙋 Has anybody gotten subtitles in macOS Tahoe Control Widgets to show up in their custom control widgets? Seems macOS is able to do it (see attached screenshot of the Bluetooth control widget), but my widget, which shows a title and subtitle on iOS, will only show the title on macOS. I tried all the different ControlWidgetButton init methods to no avail. I tried a VStack for my title and subtitle Texts, I tried just two Texts without a VStack, I tried the controlWidgetStatus and controlWidgetActionHint modifiers out of desperation... nothing worked. Any pointers much appreciated! Thank you, – Matthias

How to disable the default focus effect and detect keyboard focus in SwiftUI?
I’m trying to customize the keyboard focus appearance in SwiftUI. In UIKit (see WWDC 2021 session Focus on iPad keyboard navigation), it’s possible to remove the default UIFocusHaloEffect and change a view’s appearance depending on whether it has focus or not. In SwiftUI I’ve tried the following: .focusable() // .focusable(true, interactions: .activate) .focusEffectDisabled() .focused($isFocused) However, I’m running into several issues: .focusable(true, interactions: .activate) causes an infinite loop, so keyboard navigation stops responding .focusEffectDisabled() doesn’t seem to remove the default focus effect on iOS Using @FocusState prevents Space from triggering the action when the view has keyboard focus My main questions: How can I reliably detect whether a SwiftUI view has keyboard focus? (Is there an alternative to FocusState that integrates better with keyboard navigation on iOS?) What’s the recommended way in SwiftUI to disable the default focus effect (the blue overlay) and replace it with a custom border? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated! Here's my sample code: import SwiftUI struct KeyboardFocusExample: View { var body: some View { // The ScrollView is required, otherwise the custom focus value resets to false after a few seconds. I also need it for my actual use case ScrollView { VStack { Text("First button") .keyboardFocus() .button { print("First button tapped") } Text("Second button") .keyboardFocus() .button { print("Second button tapped") } } } } } // MARK: - Focus Modifier struct KeyboardFocusModifier: ViewModifier { @FocusState private var isFocused: Bool func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .focusable() // ⚠️ Must come before .focused(), otherwise the FocusState won’t be recognized // .focusable(true, interactions: .activate) // ⚠️ This causes an infinite loop, so keyboard navigation no longer responds .focusEffectDisabled() // ⚠️ Has no effect on iOS .focused($isFocused) // Custom Halo effect .padding(4) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 18) .strokeBorder( isFocused ? .red : .clear, lineWidth: 2 ) ) .padding(-4) } } extension View { public func keyboardFocus() -> some View { modifier(KeyboardFocusModifier()) } } // MARK: - Button Modifier /// ⚠️ Using a Button view makes no difference struct ButtonModifier: ViewModifier { let action: () -> Void func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .contentShape(Rectangle()) .onTapGesture { action() } .accessibilityAction { action() } .accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton) .accessibilityElement(children: .combine) .accessibilityRespondsToUserInteraction() } } extension View { public func button(action: @escaping () -> Void) -> some View { modifier(ButtonModifier(action: action)) } }

HideAllTips launch argument does not work in xctestplan
The launch argument -com.apple.TipKit.HideAllTips 1 does not work if it is defined in xctestplan arguments passed on launch. I tested it with the apple provided example app, where I created simple UI test and added xctestplan with launch argument -com.apple.TipKit.HideAllTips 1. The app does not hide the tips when it is running the UI Tests. Is there any solution that works? Thanks for reply.

tabViewBottomAccessory selective hidden bug
import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection = 1 var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selection) { Tab("1", systemImage: "1.circle", value: 1) { Text("Tab 1") } Tab("2", systemImage: "2.circle", value: 2) { Text("Tab 2") } } .tabViewBottomAccessory { if selection == 1 { Text("Bottom Bar for Tab 1") } } } } With this structure, I'm supposing when I select tab 2, the bottom accessory will be hidden, but it is not hidden for the first time, after I click back to tab 1, then click tab 2, it is hidden. I think this is a bug?

How to use iOS15-specific modifiers in SwiftUI on iOS 14 and earlier?
There are many new iOS15-specific modifiers that were added in SwiftUI. For example, we have a .focused() modifier, which can be used like this: TextField("Username", text: $username) .focused($focusedField, equals: .username) However, this code fails to compile if the app supports iOS 14 and earlier. How can I make this code to compile? Ideally, I'd like to do something like this: TextField("Username", text: $username) #if os(iOS, 15.0, *) .focused($focusedField, equals: .username) #endif But obviously this won't work because #if os() can only specify the target OS, not the version.. Thanks!

View presented as sheet are properly updated to correct color scheme
I’m facing an issue and I’d like to know if anyone has already run into this. I have a ContentView that presents a SettingsView as a sheet. SettingsView applies a change to the app’s colorScheme. ContentView reacts correctly to the change, and SettingsView does too (so far, so good). What’s strange is that when I set nil on the preferredColorScheme modifier (which, according to the docs, corresponds to the system color scheme), ContentView correctly picks up the change and refreshes, while SettingsView does pick up the change but doesn’t refresh. (In the video you can clearly see that when I switch from Dark to System, the parent view refreshes properly but not the presented sheet.) I’ve tried everything—switching to UIKit, changing the sheet’s ID… nothing works Another strange thing: if I present SettingsView through a NavigationLink, everything works normally… Here is a sample code to reproduce: import SwiftUI enum AppTheme: Int { case system = 0 case dark = 1 case light = 2 var colorScheme: ColorScheme? { switch self { case .system: return nil case .light: return .light case .dark: return .dark } } } struct SettingsView: View { @AppStorage("theme") var appTheme: AppTheme = .system var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 8) { Button { select(theme: .system) } label: { Text("Systeme") } Button { select(theme: .dark) } label: { Text("Dark") } Button { select(theme: .light) } label: { Text("Light") } } .preferredColorScheme(appTheme.colorScheme) } func select(theme: AppTheme) { appTheme = theme } } struct ContentView: View { @AppStorage("theme") var appTheme: AppTheme = .system @State var isPresented = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("Present settings") } // NavigationLink("Present settings") { // SettingsView() // } } .preferredColorScheme(appTheme.colorScheme) .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { SettingsView() } } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

SwiftUI's List backed by CoreData using @FetchRequest fails to update on iOS 26 when compiled with Xcode 26
Hey there! I've been tracking a really weird behavior with a List backed by @FetchRequest from CoreData. When I toggle a bool on the CoreData model, the first time it updates correctly, but if I do it a second time, the UI doesn't re-render as expected. This does not happen if I compile the app using Xcode 16 (targeting both iOS 18 and iOS 26), nor it happens when using Xcode 26 and targeting iOS 18. It only happens when building the app using Xcode 26 and running it on iOS 26. Here are two demos: the first one works as expected, when I toggle the state twice, both times updates. The second one, only on iOS 26, the second toggle fails to re-render. Demo (running from Xcode 16): Demo (running from Xcode 26): The code: import SwiftUI import CoreData @main struct CoreDataTestApp: App { let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(\.managedObjectContext, persistenceController.container.viewContext) } } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext @FetchRequest(sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Item.timestamp, ascending: true)]) private var items: FetchedResults<Item> var body: some View { NavigationView { List { ForEach(items) { item in HStack { Text(item.timestamp!.formatted()) Image(systemName: item.isFavorite ? "heart.fill" : "heart").foregroundStyle(.red) }.swipeActions(edge: .leading, allowsFullSwipe: true) { Button(item.isFavorite ? "Unfavorite" : "Favorite", systemImage: item.isFavorite ? "heart" : "heart.fill") { toggleFavoriteStatus(item: item) } } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button(action: addItem) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } } } } } private func addItem() { withAnimation { let newItem = Item(context: viewContext) newItem.timestamp = Date() newItem.isFavorite = Bool.random() try! viewContext.save() } } private func toggleFavoriteStatus(item: Item) { withAnimation { item.isFavorite.toggle() try! viewContext.save() } } } struct PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() let container: NSPersistentContainer init() { container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "CoreDataTest") container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { _, _ in }) container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true } }
