TabView with NavigationStack issue on macOS Tahoe Beta 7
I have an app using TabView with multiple Tabs using tabViewStyle „sidebarAdaptable“. Each Tab does have its own NavigationStack. When I switch multiple times between the tabs and append a child view to one of my navigation stacks, it will stop working after a few tries with the following error „A NavigationLink is presenting a value of type “HomeStack” but there is no matching navigationDestination declaration visible from the location of the link. The link cannot be activated. Note: Links search for destinations in any surrounding NavigationStack, then within the same column of a NavigationSplitView.“ The same code is working fine on iOS, iPadOS but not working on macOS. When I remove tabViewStyle of sidebarAdaptable it’s also working on macOS. I shrinked it down to a minimal reproducible code sample. Any idea if that is a bug or I'm doing something wrong? struct ContentView: View { @State private var appState: AppState = .init() var body: some View { TabView(selection: $appState.rootTab) { Tab("Home", systemImage: "house", value: RootTab.home) { NavigationStack(path: $appState.homeStack) { Text("Home Stack") NavigationLink("Item 1", value: HomeStack.item1) .padding() NavigationLink("Item 2", value: HomeStack.item2) .padding() .navigationDestination(for: HomeStack.self) { stack in Text("Stack \(stack.rawValue)") } .navigationTitle("HomeStack") } } Tab("Tab1", systemImage: "gear", value: RootTab.tab1) { NavigationStack(path: $appState.tab1Stack) { Text("Tab 1 Stack") NavigationLink("Item 1", value: Tab1Stack.item1) .padding() NavigationLink("Item 2", value: Tab1Stack.item2) .padding() .navigationDestination(for: Tab1Stack.self) { stack in Text("Stack \(stack.rawValue)") } .navigationTitle("Tab1Stack") } } } .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) .onChange(of: appState.rootTab) { _, _ in appState.homeStack.removeAll() appState.tab1Stack.removeAll() } } } @MainActor @Observable class AppState { var rootTab: RootTab = .home var homeStack: [HomeStack] = [] var tab1Stack: [Tab1Stack] = [] } enum RootTab: Hashable { case home case tab1 case tab2 } enum HomeStack: String, Hashable { case home case item1 case item2 } enum Tab1Stack: String, Hashable { case home case item1 case item2 }

iOS 26 (beta 7) setting .searchFocused programmatically does not work
Already filed a feedback in case this is a bug, but posting here in case I'm doing something wrong? I'd like the search field to automatically be displayed with the keyboard up when the view appears. This sample code works in iOS 18, but it does not work in iOS 26 beta 7 I also tried adding a delay to setting searchIsFocused = true but that did not help struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { NavigationLink(destination: ListView()) { Label("Go to list", systemImage: "list.bullet") } } .ignoresSafeArea() } } struct ListView: View { @State private var searchText: String = "" @State private var searchIsPresented: Bool = false @FocusState private var searchIsFocused: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView { Text("Test") } .searchable(text: $searchText, isPresented: $searchIsPresented, placement: .automatic, prompt: "Search") .searchFocused($searchIsFocused) .onAppear { searchIsFocused = true } } }

Force a locale from string catalog
I'm writing an iOS app that shares content with buddies. So my app will run in one language but the shared content will use the locale configured for the buddy. I found this Apple documentation which suggests that locale: (Locale(identifier: is the solution. Apple Documentation But I can't get it to work. Here's sample code. struct LocalizationDemoView: View { @State var isEnglish = true var body: some View { var myLocale: String { isEnglish ? "en": "de" } VStack { Toggle("Switch language", isOn: $isEnglish).frame(maxWidth: 200) HStack { Text("\(myLocale): ") Text(String(localized: "Hello world!", locale: (Locale(identifier: myLocale)), comment: "To share")) } } } } And here's the excerpt from the string catalog: { "sourceLanguage" : "en", "strings" : { "Hello world!" : { "comment" : "To share", "localizations" : { "de" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "🇩🇪 Moin Welt!" } }, "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "🇬🇧 Hello world!" } } } } } } Has Apple reduced support for string catalogs or is my code wrong?

iOS 26 @FocusState Doesn't Work If TextField Is In Toolbar
When I add a TextField with @FocusState to a toolbar, I noticed that setting focus = false doesn't cause the form to lose focus If I move the TextField out of the toolbar setting focus = false works fine. How can I unfocus the text field when the cancel button is tapped? Minimal example tested on Xcode Version 26.0 beta 6 (17A5305f): import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focus: Bool var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { Text("Test List") } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { TextField("Test", text: $text) .padding(.horizontal) .focused($focus) } ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button(role: .cancel) { focus = false // THIS DOESN'T WORK! } } } } } } #Preview { ContentView() }```

contentMargins (with .horizontal) creates a visual bug with the sidebar when using a NavigationSplitView in iOS 26 beta 7
FB: FB19828741 Maybe I am doing something wrong with the new LiquidGlass sidebar using iPadOS 26 Beta 7, but when using this code, in stead of the List being centered between the sidebar and the rest of the screen, the cell itself extends beneath the sidebar but the content stays clear of the sidebar, giving a weird visual effect. Not my expected behavior at least. Any ideas? Or just a bug? import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { Text("Test") } detail: { List { Text("ContentMargin") } .contentMargins(.horizontal, 100.0) } } } #Preview { ContentView() } This was on iPad OS 18:

How to get view backgrounds for widget with clear or tinted rendering
The calendar widget and buttons shows a lightened / material background behind some content when the widget is in clear / tinted mode (example here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/278?time=72). How can this be done? I tried applying a material and glass background to a view using the .background(...) modifier, but the background is made white. Text("Hello") .padding() .background { ContainerRelativeShape() .fill(.thinMaterial) } Text("Hello") .padding() .background { ContainerRelativeShape() .glassEffect() } Is this not supported, a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Custom view interactive glass effect clipped by view bounds when tapped
Take this piece of code for example: Menu { ... } label: { Image(systemName: "ellipsis.circle") .resizable() .foregroundStyle(Color.primary) .frame(width: 24, height: 24) .contentShape(.circle) .padding(.spacing8) .glassEffect(.regular.interactive(), in: .circle) } .tint(nil) When tapped, the interactive liquid glass effect expands in response, but the expanded glass is then clipped by the original bounds of the view. In this example, the button would briefly show up as a highlighted square due to the clipping. If I add enough padding around the Menu's label, the expanded glass effect is be able to show unclipped, but this feels like a hack. Is this a bug in the framework, or am I doing something wrong? I have submitted FB19801519 with screen recording and demo project.

Should ModelActor be used to populate a view?
I'm working with SwiftData and SwiftUI and it's not clear to me if it is good practice to have a @ModelActor directly populate a SwiftUI view. For example when having to combine manual lab results and clinial results from HealthKit. The Clinical lab results are an async operation: @ModelActor actor LabResultsManager { func fetchLabResultsWithHealthKit() async throws -> [LabResultDto] { let manualEntries = try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LabResult>()) let clinicalLabs = (try? await HealthKitService.getLabResults()) ?? [] return (manualEntries + clinicalLabs).sorted { $0.date > $1.date }.map { return LabResultDto(from: $0) } } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var labResults: [LabResultDto] = [] var body: some View { List(labResults, id: \.id) { result in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(result.testName) Text(result.date, style: .date) } } .task { do { let labManager = LabResultsManager() labResults = try await labManager.fetchLabResultsWithHealthKit() } catch { // Handle error } } } } EDIT: I have a few views that would want to use these labResults so I need an implementation that can be reused. Having to fetch and combine in each view will not be good practice. Can I pass a modelContext to a viewModel?

Display segmented control in iOS 26 with the previous rounded rectangle style
The default style for a segmented picker in iOS 26 is now a capsule shape. Is it possible to get back the previous rounded rectangle shape? In SwiftUI I have tried using the clipShape, containerShape, and background modifiers, applying a RoundedRectangle shape with a corner radius, to no avail. In UIKit I have tried to adjust the corner configuration for the UISegmentedControl, also to no avail. Am I missing something really obvious or is it impossible to change the style here? 🤔

iPadOS 26 Disable "open recent"
How can I remove the "recents" section from long-pressing on my app icon? I've added the following to my AppDelegate, which removes it from the top MenuBar, but not from the app icon context menu. My app has registered a custom filetype, but it is not a document based app. Opening files imports them into the app's user library, and so does not make sense to have a "recents" list. override func buildMenu(with builder: any UIMenuBuilder) { super.buildMenu(with: builder) builder.remove(menu: .openRecent) }

iOS 26 Home Screen Widgets Color Rendering Issue
Hi everyone! I've noticed a color rendering issue with Home Screen widgets on iOS 26: the colors displayed in widgets are inconsistent with those shown inside the app. At first, I suspected this might be caused by differences in color spaces, but even after explicitly specifying the color space for SwiftUI.Color or UIColor, the widget colors remain incorrect. Steps to reproduce: Create a new iOS project in Xcode 26 beta 6. Add a new Widget Extension target. Use the following Widget view code: struct MyWidgets: Widget { let kind: String = "MyWidgets" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: kind, provider: Provider()) { entry in let white = Color(.sRGB, red: 1, green: 1, blue: 1) let veryLightGray = Color(.sRGB, red: 0.96, green: 0.96, blue: 0.96) let lightGray = Color(.sRGB, red: 0.9, green: 0.9, blue: 0.9) VStack(spacing: 0) { Rectangle() .foregroundStyle(veryLightGray) // 👈 Rectangle() .foregroundStyle(lightGray) // 👈 } .containerBackground(white, for: .widget) // 👈 } .configurationDisplayName("My Widget") } } ⬆️ In-app, the colors are correct: the top block is a very light gray (white=0.96)✅, and the bottom block is a regular gray (white=0.90)✅. However, on the Home Screen widget, the result is as follows: ⬆️ The top light gray block blends completely into the white background and is indistinguishable; the bottom gray block also appears lighter than it does in-app ❌. This issue occurs both on the simulator and on real devices. (Interestingly, the colors are correct in the Xcode Preview.) Whether I declare colors in code (SwiftUI.Color or UIColor) or in the Asset Catalog, the widget's color rendering does not match expectations. What's even stranger is that if I add an extra pure white block (white=1.0) to the view, it immediately affects all the colors in the widget: This whole behavior makes it very difficult to set accurate colors for widgets on iOS 26. While it seems related to glass effect rendering and color space handling, I still feel there might be a bug in the implementation.

How to Start with Default Apple Maps Functionality in iOS 18+
Hi everyone, I’m building an iOS 18+ app in Xcode where Apple Maps is central. My goal is to start with the default Apple Maps experience (map view, search bar, pins, directions sheet, etc.) and then customize it for my project. I tried coding it from scratch using MapKit and SwiftUI, but I wasn’t able to get full parity with the basic features of the Maps app. My questions: Is there any sample project, template, or reference that provides the default Apple Maps functionality (views + interactions) as a baseline? Can I copy these into my Xcode project and then extend/customize them? If not, what’s the recommended best practice to get as close as possible to the native Maps app before adding my own features? Any guidance, sample code, or documentation links would be greatly appreciated.

How can I connect NSTableCellView.textField to a SwiftUI view?
When using NSTableView or NSOutlineView, if you use an NSTableCellView and wire up the .imageView and .textField properties then you get some "free" behaviour with respect to styling and sizing of those fields. (ex: They reflect the user's preferred "Sidebar Icon Size" as selected in Settings. ) If I'm using a SwiftUI View inside an NSTableCellView, is there any way to connect a Text or Image to those properties? Consider the following pseudo code: struct MyCellView: View { let text: String let url: URL? var body: some View { HStack { Image(...) // How to indicate this is .imageView? Text(...) // How to indicate this is .textField? } } } final class MyTableCellView: NSTableCellView { private var hostingView: NSHostingView<MyCellView>! init() { self.hostingView = NSHostingView(rootView: MyCellView(text: "", url: nil)) self.addSubview(self.hostingView) } func configureWith(text: String, url: URL) { let rootView = MyCellView(text: text, url: url) hostingView.rootView = rootView // How can I make this connection? self.textField = rootView.??? self.imageView = rootView.??? } } I'm ideally looking for a solution that works on macOS 15+.

CarPlay CPGridTemplate – buttons show in a row, and limited to 9 buttons
Hi, I’m working with CPGridTemplate in CarPlay. According to the documentation, it supports up to 9 CPGridButton objects and should display them in a grid (up to 3×3). However, I’ve run into two issues: Row instead of grid When I add 4–6 buttons, they don’t appear in a 2×2 or 2×3 grid. Instead, they are shown in a single horizontal row. Even 9 buttons do not appear in a 3x3 grid. More than 9 buttons My use case requires more than 9 icons, but it looks like CPGridTemplate ignores any additional buttons beyond the first 9. Is there any supported way to display more than 9 buttons in a grid, or is pagination/multiple templates the only option? Thanks in advance!

Ornaments in Presentations
We can add ornaments to popovers shown by PresentationComponent, but I’m not sure if we should. While working on the editor for entities in a Volume-based app, I had the idea to add ornaments to the presented views. The entire app exists inside a volume. A user can tap a item to present a popoverUI to edit it. This is displayed using the new PresentationComponent in visionOS 26. Ornaments have a new attachment anchor option this year: .parent(). .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), ornament: {...}) This works well in the Simulator. We can add ornaments around this popover view just like we would with a window. Unfortunately, when I run this on device I get a different experience. Any part of the ornament that overlaps with the popover content isn’t rendered correctly. Sometimes it entirely disappears, other times it becomes partially transparent. We could use content alignment to try to make sure the ornament doesn’t overlap the popover content. .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), contentAlignment: .bottom, ornament: {...}) This works sometimes–but not all the time. It’s not clear if this is a bug or not, because I’m not sure if we are even supposed to be able to use ornaments in this way. Here is my hierarchy: An app opens as a Volume Volume presenting a RealityView, with its own ornament using .scene() anchor Multiple Entities with Presentation Component show an edit view The view uses .parent() anchor to add ornaments. What makes me unsure is that other methods for drawing UI in RealityView don’t seem to work with ornaments. For example, if I add an attachment to show a view with the ornament–even when I use the .parent() anchor–the ornament is anchor to the volume, not the attachment view. So what do we think? Is this a rendering bug? Are ornaments intended to work with attachments and presentations?

DocumentBrowser toolbar behavior in SwiftUI apps
I’m building a document-based SwiftData app (iPhone/iPad/Mac). Here’s a minimal example of how I’m using DocumentGroup. DocumentGroup(editing: Trip.self, contentType: .trips) { ContentView() } if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { DocumentGroupLaunchScene { NewDocumentButton("New Trip") } } I’m struggling with the toolbar behavior in DocumentGroup apps. My content view uses a TabView, and each tab contains a NavigationSplitView. After I select a document in the document browser, I see my tabs. Regardless of which tab is selected, there’s a navigation bar showing the document name and a back button to the document browser. However, only the first tab shows the disclosure button to rename the document. I’d expect to be able to rename the document anywhere the name is shown. When I navigate to the detail view of my NavigationSplitView (or when using NavigationView/NavigationStack), I still see that back button to the document browser. When the user taps it, they expect to go back to the previous view, not to the document browser. What’s really odd is that even sheet or fullScreenCover presentations include these document UI elements in the navigation bar. I can’t get rid of them. Even if I set a title via the toolbar or navigationTitle, the rename disclosure button remains visible. Do DocumentGroup apps intentionally show their specific navigation bar everywhere? Is this a bug or expected behavior? And is it expected that the rename disclosure button appears only on the first tab of a TabView?

Should ModelActor be used to populate a view?
I'm working with SwiftData and SwiftUI and it's not clear to me if it is good practice to have a @ModelActor directly populate a SwiftUI view. For example when having to combine manual lab results and clinial results from HealthKit. The Clinical lab results are an async operation: @ModelActor actor LabResultsManager { func fetchLabResultsWithHealthKit() async throws -> [LabResultDto] { let manualEntries = try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LabResult>()) let clinicalLabs = (try? await HealthKitService.getLabResults()) ?? [] return (manualEntries + clinicalLabs).sorted { $0.date > $1.date }.map { return LabResultDto(from: $0) } } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var labResults: [LabResultDto] = [] var body: some View { List(labResults, id: \.id) { result in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(result.testName) Text(result.date, style: .date) } } .task { do { let labManager = LabResultsManager() labResults = try await labManager.fetchLabResultsWithHealthKit() } catch { // Handle error } } } } EDIT: I have a few views that would want to use these labResults so I need an implementation that can be reused. Having to fetch and combine in each view will not be good practice. Can I pass a modelContext to a viewModel?

Display segmented control in iOS 26 with the previous rounded rectangle style
The default style for a segmented picker in iOS 26 is now a capsule shape. Is it possible to get back the previous rounded rectangle shape? In SwiftUI I have tried using the clipShape, containerShape, and background modifiers, applying a RoundedRectangle shape with a corner radius, to no avail. In UIKit I have tried to adjust the corner configuration for the UISegmentedControl, also to no avail. Am I missing something really obvious or is it impossible to change the style here? 🤔

iPadOS 26 Disable "open recent"
How can I remove the "recents" section from long-pressing on my app icon? I've added the following to my AppDelegate, which removes it from the top MenuBar, but not from the app icon context menu. My app has registered a custom filetype, but it is not a document based app. Opening files imports them into the app's user library, and so does not make sense to have a "recents" list. override func buildMenu(with builder: any UIMenuBuilder) { super.buildMenu(with: builder) builder.remove(menu: .openRecent) }

iOS 26 Home Screen Widgets Color Rendering Issue
Hi everyone! I've noticed a color rendering issue with Home Screen widgets on iOS 26: the colors displayed in widgets are inconsistent with those shown inside the app. At first, I suspected this might be caused by differences in color spaces, but even after explicitly specifying the color space for SwiftUI.Color or UIColor, the widget colors remain incorrect. Steps to reproduce: Create a new iOS project in Xcode 26 beta 6. Add a new Widget Extension target. Use the following Widget view code: struct MyWidgets: Widget { let kind: String = "MyWidgets" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: kind, provider: Provider()) { entry in let white = Color(.sRGB, red: 1, green: 1, blue: 1) let veryLightGray = Color(.sRGB, red: 0.96, green: 0.96, blue: 0.96) let lightGray = Color(.sRGB, red: 0.9, green: 0.9, blue: 0.9) VStack(spacing: 0) { Rectangle() .foregroundStyle(veryLightGray) // 👈 Rectangle() .foregroundStyle(lightGray) // 👈 } .containerBackground(white, for: .widget) // 👈 } .configurationDisplayName("My Widget") } } ⬆️ In-app, the colors are correct: the top block is a very light gray (white=0.96)✅, and the bottom block is a regular gray (white=0.90)✅. However, on the Home Screen widget, the result is as follows: ⬆️ The top light gray block blends completely into the white background and is indistinguishable; the bottom gray block also appears lighter than it does in-app ❌. This issue occurs both on the simulator and on real devices. (Interestingly, the colors are correct in the Xcode Preview.) Whether I declare colors in code (SwiftUI.Color or UIColor) or in the Asset Catalog, the widget's color rendering does not match expectations. What's even stranger is that if I add an extra pure white block (white=1.0) to the view, it immediately affects all the colors in the widget: This whole behavior makes it very difficult to set accurate colors for widgets on iOS 26. While it seems related to glass effect rendering and color space handling, I still feel there might be a bug in the implementation.

How to Start with Default Apple Maps Functionality in iOS 18+
Hi everyone, I’m building an iOS 18+ app in Xcode where Apple Maps is central. My goal is to start with the default Apple Maps experience (map view, search bar, pins, directions sheet, etc.) and then customize it for my project. I tried coding it from scratch using MapKit and SwiftUI, but I wasn’t able to get full parity with the basic features of the Maps app. My questions: Is there any sample project, template, or reference that provides the default Apple Maps functionality (views + interactions) as a baseline? Can I copy these into my Xcode project and then extend/customize them? If not, what’s the recommended best practice to get as close as possible to the native Maps app before adding my own features? Any guidance, sample code, or documentation links would be greatly appreciated.

How can I connect NSTableCellView.textField to a SwiftUI view?
When using NSTableView or NSOutlineView, if you use an NSTableCellView and wire up the .imageView and .textField properties then you get some "free" behaviour with respect to styling and sizing of those fields. (ex: They reflect the user's preferred "Sidebar Icon Size" as selected in Settings. ) If I'm using a SwiftUI View inside an NSTableCellView, is there any way to connect a Text or Image to those properties? Consider the following pseudo code: struct MyCellView: View { let text: String let url: URL? var body: some View { HStack { Image(...) // How to indicate this is .imageView? Text(...) // How to indicate this is .textField? } } } final class MyTableCellView: NSTableCellView { private var hostingView: NSHostingView<MyCellView>! init() { self.hostingView = NSHostingView(rootView: MyCellView(text: "", url: nil)) self.addSubview(self.hostingView) } func configureWith(text: String, url: URL) { let rootView = MyCellView(text: text, url: url) hostingView.rootView = rootView // How can I make this connection? self.textField = rootView.??? self.imageView = rootView.??? } } I'm ideally looking for a solution that works on macOS 15+.

CarPlay CPGridTemplate – buttons show in a row, and limited to 9 buttons
Hi, I’m working with CPGridTemplate in CarPlay. According to the documentation, it supports up to 9 CPGridButton objects and should display them in a grid (up to 3×3). However, I’ve run into two issues: Row instead of grid When I add 4–6 buttons, they don’t appear in a 2×2 or 2×3 grid. Instead, they are shown in a single horizontal row. Even 9 buttons do not appear in a 3x3 grid. More than 9 buttons My use case requires more than 9 icons, but it looks like CPGridTemplate ignores any additional buttons beyond the first 9. Is there any supported way to display more than 9 buttons in a grid, or is pagination/multiple templates the only option? Thanks in advance!

Ornaments in Presentations
We can add ornaments to popovers shown by PresentationComponent, but I’m not sure if we should. While working on the editor for entities in a Volume-based app, I had the idea to add ornaments to the presented views. The entire app exists inside a volume. A user can tap a item to present a popoverUI to edit it. This is displayed using the new PresentationComponent in visionOS 26. Ornaments have a new attachment anchor option this year: .parent(). .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), ornament: {...}) This works well in the Simulator. We can add ornaments around this popover view just like we would with a window. Unfortunately, when I run this on device I get a different experience. Any part of the ornament that overlaps with the popover content isn’t rendered correctly. Sometimes it entirely disappears, other times it becomes partially transparent. We could use content alignment to try to make sure the ornament doesn’t overlap the popover content. .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), contentAlignment: .bottom, ornament: {...}) This works sometimes–but not all the time. It’s not clear if this is a bug or not, because I’m not sure if we are even supposed to be able to use ornaments in this way. Here is my hierarchy: An app opens as a Volume Volume presenting a RealityView, with its own ornament using .scene() anchor Multiple Entities with Presentation Component show an edit view The view uses .parent() anchor to add ornaments. What makes me unsure is that other methods for drawing UI in RealityView don’t seem to work with ornaments. For example, if I add an attachment to show a view with the ornament–even when I use the .parent() anchor–the ornament is anchor to the volume, not the attachment view. So what do we think? Is this a rendering bug? Are ornaments intended to work with attachments and presentations?

DocumentBrowser toolbar behavior in SwiftUI apps
I’m building a document-based SwiftData app (iPhone/iPad/Mac). Here’s a minimal example of how I’m using DocumentGroup. DocumentGroup(editing: Trip.self, contentType: .trips) { ContentView() } if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { DocumentGroupLaunchScene { NewDocumentButton("New Trip") } } I’m struggling with the toolbar behavior in DocumentGroup apps. My content view uses a TabView, and each tab contains a NavigationSplitView. After I select a document in the document browser, I see my tabs. Regardless of which tab is selected, there’s a navigation bar showing the document name and a back button to the document browser. However, only the first tab shows the disclosure button to rename the document. I’d expect to be able to rename the document anywhere the name is shown. When I navigate to the detail view of my NavigationSplitView (or when using NavigationView/NavigationStack), I still see that back button to the document browser. When the user taps it, they expect to go back to the previous view, not to the document browser. What’s really odd is that even sheet or fullScreenCover presentations include these document UI elements in the navigation bar. I can’t get rid of them. Even if I set a title via the toolbar or navigationTitle, the rename disclosure button remains visible. Do DocumentGroup apps intentionally show their specific navigation bar everywhere? Is this a bug or expected behavior? And is it expected that the rename disclosure button appears only on the first tab of a TabView?
