Embedded Collection View in SwiftUI offset issue
I have a collection view that covers all the screen and it is scrolling behavior is paging. This collection view is embedded in a UIViewRepresentable and used in a SwiftUI app. The issue is that when users rotate the devices, sometimes the CollectionView.contentOffset get miscalculated and shows 2 pages. This is the code that I'm using for the collectionView and collectionViewLayout: class PageFlowLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout { override class var layoutAttributesClass: AnyClass { UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes.self } private var calculatedAttributes: [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes] = [] private var calculatedContentWidth: CGFloat = 0 private var calculatedContentHeight: CGFloat = 0 public weak var delegate: PageFlowLayoutDelegate? override var collectionViewContentSize: CGSize { return CGSize(width: self.calculatedContentWidth, height: self.calculatedContentHeight) } override init() { super.init() self.estimatedItemSize = .zero self.scrollDirection = .horizontal self.minimumLineSpacing = 0 self.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0 self.sectionInset = .zero } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } override func prepare() { guard let collectionView = collectionView, collectionView.numberOfSections > 0, calculatedAttributes.isEmpty else { return } estimatedItemSize = collectionView.bounds.size for item in 0..<collectionView.numberOfItems(inSection: 0) { let indexPath = IndexPath(item: item, section: 0) let attributes = UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes(forCellWith: indexPath) let itemOrigin = CGPoint(x: CGFloat(item) * collectionView.frame.width, y: 0) attributes.frame = .init(origin: itemOrigin, size: collectionView.frame.size) calculatedAttributes.append(attributes) } calculatedContentWidth = collectionView.bounds.width * CGFloat(calculatedAttributes.count) calculatedContentHeight = collectionView.bounds.size.height } override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? { return calculatedAttributes.compactMap { return $0.frame.intersects(rect) ? $0 : nil } } override func layoutAttributesForItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes? { return calculatedAttributes[indexPath.item] } override func shouldInvalidateLayout(forBoundsChange newBounds: CGRect) -> Bool { guard let collectionView else { return false } if newBounds.size != collectionView.bounds.size { return true } if newBounds.size.width > 0 { let pages = calculatedContentWidth / newBounds.size.width // If the contentWidth matches the number of pages, // if not it requires to layout the cells let arePagesExact = pages.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 return !arePagesExact } return false } override func invalidateLayout() { calculatedAttributes = [] super.invalidateLayout() } override func shouldInvalidateLayout(forPreferredLayoutAttributes preferredAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes, withOriginalAttributes originalAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) -> Bool { guard let collectionView, #available(iOS 18.0, *) else { return false } return preferredAttributes.size != collectionView.bounds.size } override func invalidateLayout(with context: UICollectionViewLayoutInvalidationContext) { guard let customContext = context as? UICollectionViewFlowLayoutInvalidationContext else { return } if let collectionView, let currentPage = delegate?.currentPage() { let delta = (CGFloat(currentPage) * collectionView.bounds.width) - collectionView.contentOffset.x customContext.contentOffsetAdjustment.x += delta } calculatedAttributes = [] super.invalidateLayout(with: customContext) } override func prepare(forAnimatedBoundsChange oldBounds: CGRect) { super.prepare(forAnimatedBoundsChange: oldBounds) guard let collectionView else { return } if oldBounds.width != collectionView.bounds.width { invalidateLayout() } } override func targetContentOffset(forProposedContentOffset proposedContentOffset: CGPoint) -> CGPoint { guard let collectionView, let currentPage = delegate?.currentPage() else { return .zero } let targetContentOffset = super.targetContentOffset(forProposedContentOffset: proposedContentOffset) let targetPage = targetContentOffset.x / collectionView.frame.width if targetPage != CGFloat(currentPage) { let xPosition = CGFloat(currentPage) * collectionView.frame.width return CGPoint(x: xPosition, y: 0) } return targetContentOffset } // This function updates the contentOffset in case is wrong override func finalizeCollectionViewUpdates() { guard let collectionView, let currentPage = delegate?.currentPage() else { return } let xPosition = CGFloat(currentPage) * collectionView.bounds.width if xPosition != collectionView.contentOffset.x { let offset = CGPoint(x: xPosition, y: 0) collectionView.setContentOffset(offset, animated: false) } } } The full implementation is attached in the .txt file: RotationTestView.txt

TabView's Tab Label Image symbolEffect not allowed?
Hi, I'm using a TabView and for a given case I wish to have the icon of the Tab animated by symbolEffect to signify a state. The symbolEffect however doesn't seem to have an effect when used on a tab's label image. Is it really not possible? Tab(value: .hello) { EmptyView() } label: { Image(systemName: "hand.wave.fill") .symbolEffect(.wiggle, options: .repeating) } I still wish to use the TabView because it's amazing.

iOS 26: Interactive sheet dismissal causes layout hitch in underlying SwiftUI view
I’ve been investigating a noticeable animation hitch when interactively dismissing a sheet over a SwiftUI screen with moderate complexity. This was not the case on iOS 18, so I’m curious if others are seeing the same on iOS 26 or have found any mitigations. When dismissing a sheet via the swipe gesture, there’s a visible hitch right after lift-off. The hitch comes from layout work in the underlying view (behind the sheet) The duration scales with the complexity of that view (e.g. number of TextFields/layout nodes) The animation for programmatic dismiss (e.g. tapping a “Done” button) is smooth, although it hangs for a similar amount of time before dismissing, so it appears that the underlying work still happens. SwiftUI is not reevaluating the body during this (validated with Self._printChanges()), so that is not the cause. Using Instruments, the hitch shows up as a layout spike on the main thread: 54ms UIView layoutSublayersOfLayer 54ms └─ _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews 38ms └─ SwiftUI.ViewGraph.updateOutputs 11ms ├─ partial apply for implicit closure #1 in closure #1 │ in closure #1 in Attribute.init<A>(_:) 4ms └─ -[UIView For the same hierarchy with varying complexity: ~3 TextFields in a List: ~25ms (not noticeable) ~20+ TextFields: ~60ms (clearly visible hitch) The same view hierarchy on iOS 18 did not exhibit a visible hitch. I’ve tested this on an iOS 26.4 device and simulator. I’ve also included a minimum reproducible example that illustrates this: struct ContentView: View { @State var showSheet = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { ForEach(0..<120) { _ in RowView() } } .navigationTitle("Repro") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Present") { showSheet = true } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) { PresentedSheet() } } } } struct RowView: View { @State var first = "" @State var second = "" var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 12) { Text("Row") .font(.headline) HStack(spacing: 12) { TextField("First", text: $first) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) TextField("Second", text: $second) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) } HStack(spacing: 12) { Text("Third") Text("Fourth") Image(systemName: "chevron.right") } } } } struct PresentedSheet: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss var body: some View { NavigationStack { List {} .navigationTitle("Swipe To Dismiss Me") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Done") { dismiss() } } } } } } Is anyone else experiencing this and have any mitigations been found beyond reducing view complexity? I’ve filed a feedback report under FB22501630.

Detect hardware keyboard with SwiftUI
In an application we are developing, we would like to show a (non-interactable) textfield when a hardware keyboard is connected to the iPad. Therefore my question: Using SwiftUI, is it possible to detect the presence of a hardware keyboard and store that state inside a boolean like isHardwareKeyboardConnected?

tvOS: Background audio + local caching works on Simulator but stops on real Apple TV device
Description: I’m developing a tvOS app using SwiftUI where we play background audio (music) in the Welcome screen, with support for offline playback via local caching. 🔹 Feature Overview App fetches audio metadata from API Starts streaming audio (HLS .m3u8) immediately In parallel, downloads the raw audio file (.mp3) Once download completes: Switches playback from streaming → local file On next launch (offline mode), app plays audio from local storage 🔹 Issue This flow works perfectly on the Simulator, but on a real Apple TV device: Audio plays for a few seconds (2–5 sec) and then stops Especially after switching from streaming → local file No explicit AVPlayer error is logged Playback sometimes stops after UI updates or periodic API refresh 🔹 Implementation Details Using AVPlayer with AVPlayerItem Background audio controlled via a shared manager (singleton) Files stored locally using FileManager (currently using .cachesDirectory) Switching playback using: player.replaceCurrentItem(with: AVPlayerItem(url: localURL)) player.play() 🔹 Observations Works reliably on Simulator On device: Playback stops silently Seems related to lifecycle, buffering, or file access No issues when continuously streaming (without switching to local) 🔹 Questions Is there any limitation or known issue with AVPlayer when switching from streaming (HLS) to local file playback on tvOS? Are there specific requirements for playing locally cached media files on tvOS (e.g., file location, permissions, or sandbox behavior)? What is the recommended storage location and size limit for cached media files on tvOS? We understand tvOS has limited persistent storage Is .cachesDirectory the correct approach for this use case? Are there known differences in AVPlayer behavior between Simulator and real Apple TV devices (especially regarding buffering or lifecycle)? What is the recommended approach for implementing offline background audio on tvOS apps? 🔹 Goal We want to implement a reliable system where: Audio streams initially Seamlessly switches to local file after download Continues playing without interruption Supports offline playback on subsequent launches Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Flutter iOS Project: WidgetKit Extension Not Embedding / Build Cycle Error
Hi, I need your opinion about an issue we faced while trying to implement an iOS widget in our Flutter app. Here is what we did and the problems we encountered: We created a Widget Extension (SwiftUI + WidgetKit) inside the existing Flutter iOS project. The widget files were generated correctly (Widget.swift, WidgetBundle.swift, Info.plist, etc.). However, during the integration, we faced multiple issues: Build Cycle Error We repeatedly got: “Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results” This was related to embedding the widget extension into the Runner target. Embed Problems Sometimes Xcode did not automatically create the “Embed App Extensions” phase. When we added it manually → build cycle errors appeared. When we removed it → the widget was not embedded at all (no PlugIns folder in Runner.app). Duplicate / Conflicting Embed The extension appeared both in: “Embed Foundation Extensions” “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” Removing one often broke the build or removed the other as well. Widget Not Appearing Even when build succeeded: Widget did not appear on device PlugIns/Widget.appex was missing from build output Flutter Linking Errors In another test project, we got: Undefined symbol: _FlutterMethodChannel Undefined symbol: _FlutterBasicMessageChannel etc. This happened because the widget extension tried to link Flutter dependencies, which should not happen. App Group Confusion We also tried adding App Group (group.com.xxx), but behavior didn’t change. Conclusion: We suspect the root issue is: The Flutter template we are using was not designed for WidgetKit integration Xcode embedding phases and Flutter build scripts conflict with extension targets Question: In your opinion: Is this a known limitation with Flutter-based iOS projects? Is there a clean way to integrate WidgetKit without breaking the Runner target? Or is it better to create a separate native iOS module for the widget? Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Navigation bar flickers when pushing to a different screen
Hi everyone, I’m building a SwiftUI app using NavigationStack and running into a weird nav bar issue. For the setup I have a 'home' screen with a vertical ScrollView and a large edge-to-edge header that extends under the top safe area (using .ignoresSafeArea(edges: .top)). I also have a 'detail' screen with a similar immersive layout, where the header/poster image sits at the top and the ScrollView also extends under the top area. I’m using the native navigation bar on both screens and default back button, not a custom nav bar, and I’m not manually configuring UINavigationBarAppearance, I'm just relying on SwiftUI’s default/automatic toolbar behavior. The problem I’m facing is when I push from home to the detail screen, the top nav area briefly flickers and shows the system navigation bar/material background (white in light mode, black in dark mode). It’s clearly the system material, not the poster/image underneath. The screen initially renders with that nav bar state (white/dark), and only after I start scrolling does it correct itself and visually align with the header/background behind it. What I'm thinking is that maybe the detail screen initially renders with systemBackground, so the nav bar uses its default (standard) appearance on the first frame, and only after layout/interaction, once the image-derived background settles, does it switch to the correct scroll-edge/transparent style. One important thing, if I hide the nav bar on the detail screen using .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar), the issue disappears completely. So this seems specifically tied to the native nav bar’s initial render/appearance timing during the push, rather than just the layout or image loading. I’d prefer to keep the native nav bar and back button rather than implement a custom approach. Has anyone faced this issue before, or is there a correct way to structure edge-to-edge content under the nav bar so it renders properly on first push? Video of the issue: https://imgur.com/a/OYHtYbp

Layout Bug: Button icon lags after keyboard dismissal in SwiftUI
Hello everyone, I am experiencing a layout issue in a SwiftUI project where an icon inside a button becomes laggy after the keyboard is dismissed. I have a custom input bar designed with an HStack containing a TextField and a Button with a microphone.fill icon. The entire HStack is styled using a .clipShape(.capsule) and a background color and I am using @FocusState to manage the keyboard focus. When the user taps the TextField, the keyboard appears, and the entire view moves up correctly to make room. But when the keyboard is dismissed by the button action isPromptFieldFocused = false, the capsule-shaped background and the text field return to their original position, but the icon on the button (and just the icon) doesn't. The microphone icon inside the button does not follow the movement. It remains stuck at the "keyboard-up" height for a moment until the view is refreshed, breaking the UI. And by the way, the icon correctly returns to its original position with the other UI elements if the user presses the return key on their keyboard. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var userText: String = "" @FocusState var isTextFieldFocused: Bool var body: some View { HStack { TextField("Type here...", text: $userText) .focused($isTextFieldFocused) .textInputAutocapitalization(.sentences) .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle()) .padding(.leading, 12) .padding(.trailing, 4) Button(action: { print("Microphone pressed") isPromptFieldFocused = false }) { Image(systemName: "microphone.fill") .font(.system(size: 22, weight: .semibold)) .foregroundStyle(.white) .padding(14) } .background(Color.black) .clipShape(Circle()) .padding(.trailing, 14) .padding(.vertical, 14) } .background(Color.lightGray) .clipShape(Capsule()) .padding() } } I've already tried using different animation types (e.g., .default, .spring) and explicitly setting the frame of the button. Has anyone encountered this specific behavior where an Image(systemName:) ignores the parent container's transition during keyboard dismissal? I would appreciate any insights on how to ensure the entire HStack and its children animate back down in sync.

Initial presentation of popover hangs when shown from a button in the toolbar
I have a simple reproducer here: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isOn = false @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { Color.blue .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Press here") { isPresented = true } .popover(isPresented: $isPresented) { Color.green .frame(idealWidth: 400, idealHeight: 500) .presentationCompactAdaptation(.popover) } } } } } } When I tap on the button in the toolbar you can see there is a hang then the popover shows. Then every time after there is no longer a hang so this seems like a bug. Any ideas? I'm using Xcode 26.3 and a iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) (26.4) simulator.

navigationTransition Rendering Glitch for Stroke Borders
If you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: zoomID, in: namespace)) with a carousel or a card view, which uses : .stroke(Color.secondary.opacity(0.5), lineWidth: 5) It causes the border stroke to render incorrectly, and even in some cases, the card glitches out and disappears from the screen. The card is clickable but there is no entity in the placeholder of that place.

Double appearance of a button in .bottomBar ToolbarItem
I'm trying to understand why would a single button appear twice in the toolbar, like so: Do you see the eclipsed button peeking from underneath the top button? It's the same button, somehow doubled or cloned, or replicated. To reproduce it, I only needed to create a fresh iOS project in Xcode and apply this code change: diff --git a/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift b/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift index 426b298..d22433f 100644 --- a/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift +++ b/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ struct ContentView: View { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { EditButton() } - ToolbarItem { + ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button(action: addItem) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } This is all I needed to do for the double-vision button. Why would this button appear twice when moved to .bottomBar? By the way, when moved to the side and displayed on a smaller device like iPhone SE, the duplication is quite jarring: Interestingly, both buttons are active, and both trigger the same code path. Any ideas what's going on? ContentView.swift

Navigation title issue in iOS 26
Navigation title also scroll below the content when using scrollview. working fine in iOS 18 and below. one of the UI component is outside the scrollview which is causing the issue. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Rectangle() .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .frame(height: 60) .padding(.horizontal) .padding(.top) ScrollView { ForEach(0...5, id: \.self) { _ in RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10) .fill(.green) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .frame(height: 100) .padding(.horizontal) } } } .navigationTitle("Hello World") } }

How to recreate Apple Music mini player transition in SwiftUI
Hello, I am building an audio player app in SwiftUI and trying to recreate the behavior of Apple Music's mini player and full player. I'm struggling to get the animation to seamlessly transition between the mini player and the full player. Currently, it feels disconnected and doesn't resemble the smooth animation seen in Apple Music. What I want to achieve: Full player that expands/collapses from/to the mini player Smooth artwork transition between both states Drag down to collapse the full player Support both newer APIs like tabViewBottomAccessory and older iOS versions Questions: What is the best way to build this transition in SwiftUI? Should I use matchedGeometryEffect or something else? Should this be a custom container instead of fullScreenCover? How would you support both new and older iOS versions? What is the best way to implement drag to dismiss? Thanks for any help! Example code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isFullPlayerPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Tab("Home", systemImage: "house") { Text("Home") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.green) } Tab("Library", systemImage: "rectangle.stack.fill") { Text("Library") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.brown) } } .tabViewBottomAccessory(isEnabled: !isFullPlayerPresented) { MiniPlayerView(isFullPlayerPresented: $isFullPlayerPresented) } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isFullPlayerPresented) { // Maybe it's not a full screen cover presentation in Apple Music? FullPlayerView(isFullPlayerPresented: $isFullPlayerPresented) } } } Mini player: struct MiniPlayerView: View { @Binding var isFullPlayerPresented: Bool var body: some View { Button { isFullPlayerPresented = true } label: { HStack { Image(systemName: "photo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 30, height: 30) .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 8)) Spacer() Text("Tap to open full player") Spacer() Button("", systemImage: "play.fill", action: {}) } .padding(.horizontal) .padding(.vertical, 4) } .foregroundStyle(.white) } } Full player: struct FullPlayerView: View { @Binding var isFullPlayerPresented: Bool var body: some View { // This art work needs to snaps to the artwork in mini player Image(systemName: "photo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 250, height: 250) .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 20)) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.red) .overlay(alignment: .topTrailing) { Button(role: .close) { isFullPlayerPresented = false } .foregroundStyle(.white) .padding() } } }

Swipe to go back still broken with Zoom navigation transition.
When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

Localization in Swift macOS console Apps.
Is it possible to build localization into console apps, developed in SwiftUI in Xcode26. I have created a catalog, (.xcstrings file) with an English and fr-CA string. I have tried to display the French text without success. I am using the console app to test a package which also has English/French text. English text works fine in both package and the console main, but I cannot generate the French. From what I can discover so far it's not possible without bundling it as a .app, (console app). Looking for anyone who has crossed this bridge.

Unable to use FoundationModels in older app?
Hi, I'm trying to add FoundationModels to an older project but always get the following error: "Unable to resolve 'dependency' 'FoundationModels' import FoundationModels" The error comes and goes while its compiling and then doesn't run the app. I have my target set to 26.0 (and can't go any higher) and am using Xcode 26 (17E192). Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks, Dan Uff

Embedded Collection View in SwiftUI offset issue
I have a collection view that covers all the screen and it is scrolling behavior is paging. This collection view is embedded in a UIViewRepresentable and used in a SwiftUI app. The issue is that when users rotate the devices, sometimes the CollectionView.contentOffset get miscalculated and shows 2 pages. This is the code that I'm using for the collectionView and collectionViewLayout: class PageFlowLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout { override class var layoutAttributesClass: AnyClass { UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes.self } private var calculatedAttributes: [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes] = [] private var calculatedContentWidth: CGFloat = 0 private var calculatedContentHeight: CGFloat = 0 public weak var delegate: PageFlowLayoutDelegate? override var collectionViewContentSize: CGSize { return CGSize(width: self.calculatedContentWidth, height: self.calculatedContentHeight) } override init() { super.init() self.estimatedItemSize = .zero self.scrollDirection = .horizontal self.minimumLineSpacing = 0 self.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0 self.sectionInset = .zero } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } override func prepare() { guard let collectionView = collectionView, collectionView.numberOfSections > 0, calculatedAttributes.isEmpty else { return } estimatedItemSize = collectionView.bounds.size for item in 0..<collectionView.numberOfItems(inSection: 0) { let indexPath = IndexPath(item: item, section: 0) let attributes = UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes(forCellWith: indexPath) let itemOrigin = CGPoint(x: CGFloat(item) * collectionView.frame.width, y: 0) attributes.frame = .init(origin: itemOrigin, size: collectionView.frame.size) calculatedAttributes.append(attributes) } calculatedContentWidth = collectionView.bounds.width * CGFloat(calculatedAttributes.count) calculatedContentHeight = collectionView.bounds.size.height } override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? { return calculatedAttributes.compactMap { return $0.frame.intersects(rect) ? $0 : nil } } override func layoutAttributesForItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes? { return calculatedAttributes[indexPath.item] } override func shouldInvalidateLayout(forBoundsChange newBounds: CGRect) -> Bool { guard let collectionView else { return false } if newBounds.size != collectionView.bounds.size { return true } if newBounds.size.width > 0 { let pages = calculatedContentWidth / newBounds.size.width // If the contentWidth matches the number of pages, // if not it requires to layout the cells let arePagesExact = pages.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 return !arePagesExact } return false } override func invalidateLayout() { calculatedAttributes = [] super.invalidateLayout() } override func shouldInvalidateLayout(forPreferredLayoutAttributes preferredAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes, withOriginalAttributes originalAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) -> Bool { guard let collectionView, #available(iOS 18.0, *) else { return false } return preferredAttributes.size != collectionView.bounds.size } override func invalidateLayout(with context: UICollectionViewLayoutInvalidationContext) { guard let customContext = context as? UICollectionViewFlowLayoutInvalidationContext else { return } if let collectionView, let currentPage = delegate?.currentPage() { let delta = (CGFloat(currentPage) * collectionView.bounds.width) - collectionView.contentOffset.x customContext.contentOffsetAdjustment.x += delta } calculatedAttributes = [] super.invalidateLayout(with: customContext) } override func prepare(forAnimatedBoundsChange oldBounds: CGRect) { super.prepare(forAnimatedBoundsChange: oldBounds) guard let collectionView else { return } if oldBounds.width != collectionView.bounds.width { invalidateLayout() } } override func targetContentOffset(forProposedContentOffset proposedContentOffset: CGPoint) -> CGPoint { guard let collectionView, let currentPage = delegate?.currentPage() else { return .zero } let targetContentOffset = super.targetContentOffset(forProposedContentOffset: proposedContentOffset) let targetPage = targetContentOffset.x / collectionView.frame.width if targetPage != CGFloat(currentPage) { let xPosition = CGFloat(currentPage) * collectionView.frame.width return CGPoint(x: xPosition, y: 0) } return targetContentOffset } // This function updates the contentOffset in case is wrong override func finalizeCollectionViewUpdates() { guard let collectionView, let currentPage = delegate?.currentPage() else { return } let xPosition = CGFloat(currentPage) * collectionView.bounds.width if xPosition != collectionView.contentOffset.x { let offset = CGPoint(x: xPosition, y: 0) collectionView.setContentOffset(offset, animated: false) } } } The full implementation is attached in the .txt file: RotationTestView.txt

TabView's Tab Label Image symbolEffect not allowed?
Hi, I'm using a TabView and for a given case I wish to have the icon of the Tab animated by symbolEffect to signify a state. The symbolEffect however doesn't seem to have an effect when used on a tab's label image. Is it really not possible? Tab(value: .hello) { EmptyView() } label: { Image(systemName: "hand.wave.fill") .symbolEffect(.wiggle, options: .repeating) } I still wish to use the TabView because it's amazing.

iOS 26: Interactive sheet dismissal causes layout hitch in underlying SwiftUI view
I’ve been investigating a noticeable animation hitch when interactively dismissing a sheet over a SwiftUI screen with moderate complexity. This was not the case on iOS 18, so I’m curious if others are seeing the same on iOS 26 or have found any mitigations. When dismissing a sheet via the swipe gesture, there’s a visible hitch right after lift-off. The hitch comes from layout work in the underlying view (behind the sheet) The duration scales with the complexity of that view (e.g. number of TextFields/layout nodes) The animation for programmatic dismiss (e.g. tapping a “Done” button) is smooth, although it hangs for a similar amount of time before dismissing, so it appears that the underlying work still happens. SwiftUI is not reevaluating the body during this (validated with Self._printChanges()), so that is not the cause. Using Instruments, the hitch shows up as a layout spike on the main thread: 54ms UIView layoutSublayersOfLayer 54ms └─ _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews 38ms └─ SwiftUI.ViewGraph.updateOutputs 11ms ├─ partial apply for implicit closure #1 in closure #1 │ in closure #1 in Attribute.init<A>(_:) 4ms └─ -[UIView For the same hierarchy with varying complexity: ~3 TextFields in a List: ~25ms (not noticeable) ~20+ TextFields: ~60ms (clearly visible hitch) The same view hierarchy on iOS 18 did not exhibit a visible hitch. I’ve tested this on an iOS 26.4 device and simulator. I’ve also included a minimum reproducible example that illustrates this: struct ContentView: View { @State var showSheet = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { ForEach(0..<120) { _ in RowView() } } .navigationTitle("Repro") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Present") { showSheet = true } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) { PresentedSheet() } } } } struct RowView: View { @State var first = "" @State var second = "" var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 12) { Text("Row") .font(.headline) HStack(spacing: 12) { TextField("First", text: $first) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) TextField("Second", text: $second) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) } HStack(spacing: 12) { Text("Third") Text("Fourth") Image(systemName: "chevron.right") } } } } struct PresentedSheet: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss var body: some View { NavigationStack { List {} .navigationTitle("Swipe To Dismiss Me") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Done") { dismiss() } } } } } } Is anyone else experiencing this and have any mitigations been found beyond reducing view complexity? I’ve filed a feedback report under FB22501630.

Detect hardware keyboard with SwiftUI
In an application we are developing, we would like to show a (non-interactable) textfield when a hardware keyboard is connected to the iPad. Therefore my question: Using SwiftUI, is it possible to detect the presence of a hardware keyboard and store that state inside a boolean like isHardwareKeyboardConnected?

tvOS: Background audio + local caching works on Simulator but stops on real Apple TV device
Description: I’m developing a tvOS app using SwiftUI where we play background audio (music) in the Welcome screen, with support for offline playback via local caching. 🔹 Feature Overview App fetches audio metadata from API Starts streaming audio (HLS .m3u8) immediately In parallel, downloads the raw audio file (.mp3) Once download completes: Switches playback from streaming → local file On next launch (offline mode), app plays audio from local storage 🔹 Issue This flow works perfectly on the Simulator, but on a real Apple TV device: Audio plays for a few seconds (2–5 sec) and then stops Especially after switching from streaming → local file No explicit AVPlayer error is logged Playback sometimes stops after UI updates or periodic API refresh 🔹 Implementation Details Using AVPlayer with AVPlayerItem Background audio controlled via a shared manager (singleton) Files stored locally using FileManager (currently using .cachesDirectory) Switching playback using: player.replaceCurrentItem(with: AVPlayerItem(url: localURL)) player.play() 🔹 Observations Works reliably on Simulator On device: Playback stops silently Seems related to lifecycle, buffering, or file access No issues when continuously streaming (without switching to local) 🔹 Questions Is there any limitation or known issue with AVPlayer when switching from streaming (HLS) to local file playback on tvOS? Are there specific requirements for playing locally cached media files on tvOS (e.g., file location, permissions, or sandbox behavior)? What is the recommended storage location and size limit for cached media files on tvOS? We understand tvOS has limited persistent storage Is .cachesDirectory the correct approach for this use case? Are there known differences in AVPlayer behavior between Simulator and real Apple TV devices (especially regarding buffering or lifecycle)? What is the recommended approach for implementing offline background audio on tvOS apps? 🔹 Goal We want to implement a reliable system where: Audio streams initially Seamlessly switches to local file after download Continues playing without interruption Supports offline playback on subsequent launches Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Flutter iOS Project: WidgetKit Extension Not Embedding / Build Cycle Error
Hi, I need your opinion about an issue we faced while trying to implement an iOS widget in our Flutter app. Here is what we did and the problems we encountered: We created a Widget Extension (SwiftUI + WidgetKit) inside the existing Flutter iOS project. The widget files were generated correctly (Widget.swift, WidgetBundle.swift, Info.plist, etc.). However, during the integration, we faced multiple issues: Build Cycle Error We repeatedly got: “Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results” This was related to embedding the widget extension into the Runner target. Embed Problems Sometimes Xcode did not automatically create the “Embed App Extensions” phase. When we added it manually → build cycle errors appeared. When we removed it → the widget was not embedded at all (no PlugIns folder in Runner.app). Duplicate / Conflicting Embed The extension appeared both in: “Embed Foundation Extensions” “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” Removing one often broke the build or removed the other as well. Widget Not Appearing Even when build succeeded: Widget did not appear on device PlugIns/Widget.appex was missing from build output Flutter Linking Errors In another test project, we got: Undefined symbol: _FlutterMethodChannel Undefined symbol: _FlutterBasicMessageChannel etc. This happened because the widget extension tried to link Flutter dependencies, which should not happen. App Group Confusion We also tried adding App Group (group.com.xxx), but behavior didn’t change. Conclusion: We suspect the root issue is: The Flutter template we are using was not designed for WidgetKit integration Xcode embedding phases and Flutter build scripts conflict with extension targets Question: In your opinion: Is this a known limitation with Flutter-based iOS projects? Is there a clean way to integrate WidgetKit without breaking the Runner target? Or is it better to create a separate native iOS module for the widget? Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Navigation bar flickers when pushing to a different screen
Hi everyone, I’m building a SwiftUI app using NavigationStack and running into a weird nav bar issue. For the setup I have a 'home' screen with a vertical ScrollView and a large edge-to-edge header that extends under the top safe area (using .ignoresSafeArea(edges: .top)). I also have a 'detail' screen with a similar immersive layout, where the header/poster image sits at the top and the ScrollView also extends under the top area. I’m using the native navigation bar on both screens and default back button, not a custom nav bar, and I’m not manually configuring UINavigationBarAppearance, I'm just relying on SwiftUI’s default/automatic toolbar behavior. The problem I’m facing is when I push from home to the detail screen, the top nav area briefly flickers and shows the system navigation bar/material background (white in light mode, black in dark mode). It’s clearly the system material, not the poster/image underneath. The screen initially renders with that nav bar state (white/dark), and only after I start scrolling does it correct itself and visually align with the header/background behind it. What I'm thinking is that maybe the detail screen initially renders with systemBackground, so the nav bar uses its default (standard) appearance on the first frame, and only after layout/interaction, once the image-derived background settles, does it switch to the correct scroll-edge/transparent style. One important thing, if I hide the nav bar on the detail screen using .toolbar(.hidden, for: .navigationBar), the issue disappears completely. So this seems specifically tied to the native nav bar’s initial render/appearance timing during the push, rather than just the layout or image loading. I’d prefer to keep the native nav bar and back button rather than implement a custom approach. Has anyone faced this issue before, or is there a correct way to structure edge-to-edge content under the nav bar so it renders properly on first push? Video of the issue: https://imgur.com/a/OYHtYbp

How to let Appkit Scrollview get under sidebar or inspctor?
If I use a SwiftUI Scrollview and scroll horizontally, for example, the scroll content goes underneath the inspector or sidebar views on macOS 26 (probably on older versions as well) But by default, the AppKit scrollviews don't exhibit this behaviour. How do I adapt this to match SwiftUI behavior?

Layout Bug: Button icon lags after keyboard dismissal in SwiftUI
Hello everyone, I am experiencing a layout issue in a SwiftUI project where an icon inside a button becomes laggy after the keyboard is dismissed. I have a custom input bar designed with an HStack containing a TextField and a Button with a microphone.fill icon. The entire HStack is styled using a .clipShape(.capsule) and a background color and I am using @FocusState to manage the keyboard focus. When the user taps the TextField, the keyboard appears, and the entire view moves up correctly to make room. But when the keyboard is dismissed by the button action isPromptFieldFocused = false, the capsule-shaped background and the text field return to their original position, but the icon on the button (and just the icon) doesn't. The microphone icon inside the button does not follow the movement. It remains stuck at the "keyboard-up" height for a moment until the view is refreshed, breaking the UI. And by the way, the icon correctly returns to its original position with the other UI elements if the user presses the return key on their keyboard. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var userText: String = "" @FocusState var isTextFieldFocused: Bool var body: some View { HStack { TextField("Type here...", text: $userText) .focused($isTextFieldFocused) .textInputAutocapitalization(.sentences) .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle()) .padding(.leading, 12) .padding(.trailing, 4) Button(action: { print("Microphone pressed") isPromptFieldFocused = false }) { Image(systemName: "microphone.fill") .font(.system(size: 22, weight: .semibold)) .foregroundStyle(.white) .padding(14) } .background(Color.black) .clipShape(Circle()) .padding(.trailing, 14) .padding(.vertical, 14) } .background(Color.lightGray) .clipShape(Capsule()) .padding() } } I've already tried using different animation types (e.g., .default, .spring) and explicitly setting the frame of the button. Has anyone encountered this specific behavior where an Image(systemName:) ignores the parent container's transition during keyboard dismissal? I would appreciate any insights on how to ensure the entire HStack and its children animate back down in sync.

Initial presentation of popover hangs when shown from a button in the toolbar
I have a simple reproducer here: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isOn = false @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { Color.blue .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Press here") { isPresented = true } .popover(isPresented: $isPresented) { Color.green .frame(idealWidth: 400, idealHeight: 500) .presentationCompactAdaptation(.popover) } } } } } } When I tap on the button in the toolbar you can see there is a hang then the popover shows. Then every time after there is no longer a hang so this seems like a bug. Any ideas? I'm using Xcode 26.3 and a iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) (26.4) simulator.

navigationTransition Rendering Glitch for Stroke Borders
If you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: zoomID, in: namespace)) with a carousel or a card view, which uses : .stroke(Color.secondary.opacity(0.5), lineWidth: 5) It causes the border stroke to render incorrectly, and even in some cases, the card glitches out and disappears from the screen. The card is clickable but there is no entity in the placeholder of that place.

Double appearance of a button in .bottomBar ToolbarItem
I'm trying to understand why would a single button appear twice in the toolbar, like so: Do you see the eclipsed button peeking from underneath the top button? It's the same button, somehow doubled or cloned, or replicated. To reproduce it, I only needed to create a fresh iOS project in Xcode and apply this code change: diff --git a/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift b/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift index 426b298..d22433f 100644 --- a/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift +++ b/BugRepro20260409/ContentView.swift @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ struct ContentView: View { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { EditButton() } - ToolbarItem { + ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { Button(action: addItem) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } This is all I needed to do for the double-vision button. Why would this button appear twice when moved to .bottomBar? By the way, when moved to the side and displayed on a smaller device like iPhone SE, the duplication is quite jarring: Interestingly, both buttons are active, and both trigger the same code path. Any ideas what's going on? ContentView.swift

How to recreate Apple Music mini player transition in SwiftUI
Hello, I am building an audio player app in SwiftUI and trying to recreate the behavior of Apple Music's mini player and full player. I'm struggling to get the animation to seamlessly transition between the mini player and the full player. Currently, it feels disconnected and doesn't resemble the smooth animation seen in Apple Music. What I want to achieve: Full player that expands/collapses from/to the mini player Smooth artwork transition between both states Drag down to collapse the full player Support both newer APIs like tabViewBottomAccessory and older iOS versions Questions: What is the best way to build this transition in SwiftUI? Should I use matchedGeometryEffect or something else? Should this be a custom container instead of fullScreenCover? How would you support both new and older iOS versions? What is the best way to implement drag to dismiss? Thanks for any help! Example code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isFullPlayerPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Tab("Home", systemImage: "house") { Text("Home") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.green) } Tab("Library", systemImage: "rectangle.stack.fill") { Text("Library") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.brown) } } .tabViewBottomAccessory(isEnabled: !isFullPlayerPresented) { MiniPlayerView(isFullPlayerPresented: $isFullPlayerPresented) } .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isFullPlayerPresented) { // Maybe it's not a full screen cover presentation in Apple Music? FullPlayerView(isFullPlayerPresented: $isFullPlayerPresented) } } } Mini player: struct MiniPlayerView: View { @Binding var isFullPlayerPresented: Bool var body: some View { Button { isFullPlayerPresented = true } label: { HStack { Image(systemName: "photo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 30, height: 30) .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 8)) Spacer() Text("Tap to open full player") Spacer() Button("", systemImage: "play.fill", action: {}) } .padding(.horizontal) .padding(.vertical, 4) } .foregroundStyle(.white) } } Full player: struct FullPlayerView: View { @Binding var isFullPlayerPresented: Bool var body: some View { // This art work needs to snaps to the artwork in mini player Image(systemName: "photo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 250, height: 250) .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 20)) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(.red) .overlay(alignment: .topTrailing) { Button(role: .close) { isFullPlayerPresented = false } .foregroundStyle(.white) .padding() } } }

Swipe to go back still broken with Zoom navigation transition.
When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

Localization in Swift macOS console Apps.
Is it possible to build localization into console apps, developed in SwiftUI in Xcode26. I have created a catalog, (.xcstrings file) with an English and fr-CA string. I have tried to display the French text without success. I am using the console app to test a package which also has English/French text. English text works fine in both package and the console main, but I cannot generate the French. From what I can discover so far it's not possible without bundling it as a .app, (console app). Looking for anyone who has crossed this bridge.
