Unable to inspect SwiftUI view embedded inside UITableView
We have been trying to migrate screens that were developed using UITool Kit to SwiftUI. In the process we have some screens that have SwiftUI embedded inside the UITool kit view. Our developers have defined accessibility ids for all elements in these views and these are inspectable using the native iOS xcode inspector. However when i try inspecting it with the appium inspector i get an empty list with no elements in the hierarchy tree. Attaching a screenshot of the element when inspecting through the native xcode accessibility inspector, Attaching a screenshot of the same screen when inspected through the appium inspector, Also tried printing the XCTest UI dump using appium method, `driver().executeScript("mobile:source", Map.ofEntries(Map.entry("format","description"))) The UI tree i get is the same that i get when inspecting through the appium inspector. Requesting support from the Apple team based on this ticket, [https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/20759)

@FetchRequest predicate is ignored if the context changes
I have a simple SwiftUI application with CoreData and two views. One view displays all "Place" objects. You can create new places and you can show the details for the place. Inside the second view you can add "PlaceItem"s to a place. The problem is that, once a new "PlaceItem" is added to the viewContext, the @NSFetchRequest seems to forget about its additional predicates, which I set in onAppear. Then every place item is shown inside the details view. Once I update the predicate manually (the refresh button), only the items from the selected place are visible again. Any idea how this can be fixed? Here's the code for my two views: struct PlaceView: View { @FetchRequest(sortDescriptors: []) private var places: FetchedResults<Place> @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext var body: some View { NavigationView { List(places) { place in NavigationLink { PlaceItemsView(place: place) } label: { Text(place.name ?? "") } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button { let place = Place(context: viewContext) place.name = NSUUID().uuidString try! viewContext.save() } label: { Label("Add", systemImage: "plus") } } } .navigationTitle("Places") } } struct PlaceItemsView: View { @ObservedObject var place: Place @FetchRequest(sortDescriptors: []) private var items: FetchedResults<PlaceItem> @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext func updatePredicate() { items.nsPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "place == %@", place) } var body: some View { NavigationView { List(items) { item in Text(item.name ?? ""); } } .onAppear(perform: updatePredicate) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { Button { let item = PlaceItem(context: viewContext) item.place = place item.name = NSUUID().uuidString try! viewContext.save() } label: { Label("Add", systemImage: "plus") } } ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) { Button(action: updatePredicate) { Label("Refresh", systemImage: "arrow.clockwise") } } } .navigationTitle(place.name ?? "") } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext var body: some View { NavigationView { PlaceView() } } } Thanks!

List Cell - Modifying associated object causes reload of whole list
I've got a List containing Colour objects. Each colour may have an associated Project Colour object. What I'm trying to do is set it up so that you can tap a cell and it will add/remove a project colour. The adding/removing is working, but each time I do so, it appears the whole view is reloaded, the scroll position is reset and any predicate is removed. This code I have so far List { ForEach(colourList) { section in let header : String = section.id Section(header: Text(header)) { ForEach(section) { colour in HStack { if checkIfProjectColour(colour: colour) { Image(systemName: "checkmark") } VStack(alignment: .leading){ HStack { if let name = colour.name { Text(name) } } } Spacer() } .contentShape(Rectangle()) .onTapGesture { if checkIfProjectColour(colour: colour) { removeProjectColour(colour: colour) } else { addProjectColour(colour: colour) } } } } } .onAppear() { filters = appSetting.filters colourList.nsPredicate = getFilterPredicate() print("predicate: on appear - \(String(describing: getFilterPredicate()))") } .refreshable { viewContext.refreshAllObjects() } } .searchable(text: $searchText) .onSubmit(of: .search) { colourList.nsPredicate = getFilterPredicate() } .onChange(of: searchText) { colourList.nsPredicate = getFilterPredicate() } The checkIfProjectColour function func checkIfProjectColour(colour : Colour) -> Bool { if let proCols = project.projectColours { for proCol in proCols { let proCol = proCol as! ProjectColour if let col = proCol.colour { if col == colour { return true } } } } return false } and the add/remove functions func addProjectColour(colour : Colour) { let projectColour = ProjectColour(context: viewContext) projectColour.project = project projectColour.colour = colour colour.addToProjectColours(projectColour) project.addToProjectColours(projectColour) do { try viewContext.save() } catch { let nsError = error as NSError fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)") } } func removeProjectColour(colour: Colour) { if let proCols = project.projectColours { for proCol in proCols { let proCol = proCol as! ProjectColour if let col = proCol.colour { if col == colour { viewContext.delete(proCol) do { try viewContext.save() } catch { let nsError = error as NSError fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)") } } } } } }

Management of multiple root views in SwiftUI
Hey guys, I'm totally unexperienced in Swift coding and I'm doing my first steps using Swift Playgrounds on my macOS as well as on my iPadOS. I'm setting up a simple App that can be divided in 4 main categories (Splash, Authentication, Content, Setup). Each category (except the Splash as the short intro when running the app) can have a NavigationStack (e. g. switching between login view, register view, forgott password view in authentication). So I thought about having a root view for each of them. My google research gave me lots of ways and hints but it's not clear at all for me if I should and how I should do this. I often read about a RootViewController but I guess that's UIKit stuff and nothing for SwiftUI. Then I read about delegates and such. Then, I read an article that exactly fits my goals and I just liked to get your opinion what you think about this way to solve my plan: First of all, I define a separate class for a appRootManager: final class appRootManager: ObservableObject { enum eRootViews { case Splash, Authentification, Content, Setup } @Published var currentRoot: eRootViews = .Splash } The main app file looks like this: @main struct MyApp: App { @StateObject private var oRootManager = appRootManager() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup() { Group { switch oRootManager.currentRoot { case .Splash: viewSplash() case .Authentification: viewLogin() case .Content: viewContent() case .Setup: viewSetup() } } .environmentObject(oRootManager) .modelContainer(for: [Account.self]) } } } In each of the for root view files (e. g. Splash view) I make the appRootManager addressable and switch the root view by updating the enum value, like for example: struct viewSplash: View { @EnvironmentObject private var oRootManager: appRootManager var body: some View { ZStack { Color.blue .ignoresSafeArea() Text("Hello World") .font(.title) .fontWeight(.semibold) .foregroundColor(.white) } .onAppear() { DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3) { withAnimation(.spring()) {oRootManager.currentRoot = .Authentification} } } } } It works fine and does exactly what I like to have (when I run the app out of Swift Playgrounds). I'm just wondering why it does not work in the App Preview in Swift Playgrounds and this is why I'd like to have your opinion to the way I solve my plan. I'm very happy for any feedback. Thanks a lot in anticipation! Kind regards Kevin

ManagedAppDistribution problem with getting the apps
Hello, We are trying to use the Managed App Distribution framework with our mdm following the documentation here : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/managedappdistribution But on the first load we don't get anything, the app keep getting stuck inside the following code without sending an error or getting the managed apps for try await result in ManagedAppLibrary.currentDistributor.availableApps { content = try result.get().map(Content.managedApp) } If we update the list of available managed apps in our mdm, the function execute and so we have all the apps displayed as expected, but if we close and re-open the app it'll again not display anything until we update the managed apps list. How can we fetched our managed apps at anytime and not only when the list is updated ? Why this method seems to be waiting for an update instead of just fetching the available managed apps when we call it ?

MacOS CloudKit production environment is not working properly
My macOS app is developed using SwfitUI, SwiftData, and CloudKit. In the development environment, CloudKit works well. Locally added models can be quickly viewed in the CloudKit Console. macOS app and iOS app with the same BundleID can also synchronize data normally when developing locally. However, in the production environment, the macOS app cannot synchronize data with iCloud. But iOS app can. The models added in the production environment are only saved locally and cannot be viewed in CloudKit Console Production. I am sure I have configured correctly, container schema changes to deploy to the Production environment. I think there may be a problem with CloudKit in macOS. Please help troubleshoot the problem. I can provide you with any information you need. var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .frame(minWidth: 640, minHeight: 480) .environment(mainViewModel) } .modelContainer(for: [NoteRecord.self]) } I didn't do anything special. I didn’t do anything special. I just used SwiftData hosted by CloudKit.

SwiftUI DatePicker size not configurable
Hey guys, I'm totally new to Swift programming and I'm setting up a view for registering users. I use a VStack to organize the TextFields as well as a DatePicker, but the last one seems to be very rebellious. Here's my code: VStack { TextField("E-Mailadresse", text: $mail) .frame(height: 30) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .focused($hasFocus, equals: .mail) .onKeyPress(.tab, action: {hasFocus = .password; return .handled}) SecureField("Passwort", text: $password) .frame(height: 30) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .focused($hasFocus, equals: .password) .onKeyPress(.tab, action: {hasFocus = .name; return .handled}) TextField("Name", text: $name) .frame(height: 30) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .focused($hasFocus, equals: .name) .onKeyPress(.tab, action: {hasFocus = .prename; return .handled}) TextField("Vorname", text: $prename) .frame(height: 30) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .focused($hasFocus, equals: .prename) .onKeyPress(.tab, action: {hasFocus = .birthday; return .handled}) DatePicker("Geb.:", selection: $birthday, displayedComponents: [.date]) .datePickerStyle(.wheel) .clipped() //.focused($hasFocus, equals: .birthday) Button("Registrieren") {self.register()} .padding(.top, 20) .keyboardShortcut(.defaultAction) } .frame(width: 375) } And this is how it looks like: As you can see, neither is the DatePicker centered correctly (it's more left located) nor is it clipped (reduced). I also tried adding a .frame() to itself, then I was ably to reduce it to the preferred height, but I can' reduce its width and as a result of this, I can also not write a full label like "Date of Birth" or something, because the wheel of the DatePicker always overlays it... Is that a kind of misbehavior or am I missing something? Thank you very much in anticipation for your feedback! Kind regards Kevin

What's the best way to support Genmoji with SwiftUI?
I want to support Genmoji input in my SwiftUI TextField or TextEditor, but looking around, it seems there's no SwiftUI only way to do it? If none, it's kind of disappointing that they're saying SwiftUI is the path forward, but not updating it with support for new technologies. Going back, does this mean we can only support Genmoji through UITextField and UIViewRepresentable? or there more direct options? Btw, I'm also using SwiftData for storage.

SwiftUI/WebKit Allowing popups and links
We are using an imbedded WKWebView in a SwiftUI view. There are links within the pages being viewed - they are company pages - and some link to other pages as well as open named (or unnamed) browser tabs. In our implementation, when there is a named (or unnamed) link to another browser tab, the view does not do anything. Any ideas on how to allow tabs to open in some manner and allow the users to access the links?

Swift UI Chart Accessibility issue
Hi Team, We are integrating SwiftUI's Charts BarMark, UI looks good but when we try setting up custom ADA it doesn't reflect/override the accessibility label/value we set manually. Is it iOS defect or is there any workaround? Thanks in advance. Sample: Chart(data) { BarMark( x: .value("Category", $0.department), y: .value("Profit", $0.profit) ) .foregroundStyle(by: .value("Product Category", $0.productCategory)) .accessibilityIdentifier("BarMark") .accessibilityLabel("Dep: \($0.department)") .accessibilityValue("Profile: \($0.profit) Category: \($0.productCategory)") }

Hi, I have an issue with app preview
I can't seem to access preview for any of my views in any of my swift projects at all (using Mac to code and using iPhone 16 pro as preview and simulation, simulation can work), even after restarting Mac and Xcode itself. The preview section has a popup saying "Cannot preview in this file, unexpected error occured" (for every file), please tell me what is wrong and help me solve it to see the preview, thank you! details

How to break `while` loop and `deliver partial result to `View`?
I make some small program to make dots. Many of them. I have a Generator which generates dots in a loop: //reprat until all dots in frame while !newDots.isEmpty { virginDots = [] for newDot in newDots { autoreleasepool{ virginDots.append( contentsOf: newDot.addDots(in: size, allDots: &result, inSomeWay)) } newDots = virginDots } counter += 1 print ("\(result.count) dots in \(counter) grnerations") } Sometimes this loop needs hours/days to finish (depend of inSomeWay settings), so it would be very nice to send partial result to a View, and/or if result is not satisfying — break this loop and start over. My understanding of Tasks and Concurrency became worse each time I try to understand it, maybe it's my age, maybe language barier. For now, Button with {Task {...}} action doesn't removed Rainbow Wheel from my screen. Killing an app is wrong because killing is wrong. How to deal with it?

Unexpected system behavior with 'getifaddrs'
On iOS beta, monitoring network usage using the getifaddrs API sporadically causes system volume spikes. This happens even though the application does not interact with any audio-related code. The issue persists across different polling intervals (e.g., 0.05s to 1s) and only occurs when invoking getifaddrs. Replacing the API calls with mock data eliminates the problem, suggesting a potential issue with getifaddrs in the beta environment. The application updates UI elements based on network activity, but the volume spikes occur independently of UI or other observable app behavior. Steps to Reproduce: Create an app that monitors network usage using the getifaddrs API. Fetch network statistics on a timer (e.g., every 0.05 seconds). Observe system behavior while running the app on iOS beta. Note sporadic volume spikes during app runtime. Expected Result: Polling network usage with getifaddrs should not affect system volume or other unrelated resources. Actual Result: System volume spikes occasionally when network statistics are retrieved using getifaddrs. iOS 18.2 Beta, Tested on physical device ( iPhone 15 Pro )

DocumentGroup with SwiftData BUG!!!!! (modelContext cannot save and querry)
This is a critical bug with Document-Based Apps (SwiftData). If you download the WWDC 2023 sample code for"Building a document-based app using SwiftData" , open it in Xcode 16.1, and run it on an iOS 18+ simulator, you'll encounter a major issue. When you exit a document and reopen it, you'll find that the changes you just made were not saved. iOS 18 has effectively rendered last year's WWDC 2023 sample code obsolete! Has anyone managed to successfully save data in a Document-Based App using SwiftData?

Missing EnvironmentObject from TableColumn on macOS
I encountered a strange behavior that reminded me of when .sheet() modifiers didn't inherit environment objects. Unless I'm missing something very obvious, it seems to me that TableColumn may expose the same issue. At least on macOS, because the very same code does not crash on iOS. I'm posting this here before reporting a SwiftUI bug. Below is a gist for a playground: https://gist.github.com/keeshux/4a963cdebb1b577b87b08660ce9d3364 I also observe inconsistent behavior when building with Xcode 16.1 or 15.4, specifically: https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/passepartout/issues/872#issuecomment-2477687967 The workaround I resorted to is re-propagating the environment from the parent: https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/passepartout/pull/873/files#diff-c662c4607f2adfd0d4e2c2a225e0351ba9c21dbdd5fc68f23bc1ce28a20bce4dR45

No macro named 'Preview' - error
So I am trying to move an old project from ios16 to ios17... wanted to play around with the new previews, and animations and first error I get is the above. When I create a new project I can use the macro just fine. What is more: when I add a new swiftUI file I get the same error with the #Preview macro. I went through the project and target settings, making sure everything is set to ios17 and Swift5, but can't find any other settings. Cleared the build cache and rebuilt from scratch. Hoping someone else ran onto the same problem and found a solution? Without using #Preview

Run identical UI/Unit tests on different build targets
I have different versions of my iOS App (written in SwiftUI). The app on the store, the App Clip, and one or two next version apps not yet released (e.g. A/B comparison). All good. But now I've started creating UI and Unit tests and I'm confused about how to get this working. Each build target has its own scheme. And in that scheme I have a Test plan for that target. E.g. The App Clip scheme has an App Clip test plan. Since all the app variants are very similar, I only have one set of unit tests and one set of UI tests so each test plan includes the same unit test target and the UI test target. Problem: When I selected a scheme (e.g. for the App Clip) and ran the tests, it turned out that all the tests ran for another build target, not the target of the scheme. I think this might be because within the definition of the test target there's a field specifying the host application. I.e. the build target. Question: How can I set up my project so that the test plan uses the relevant target build? Or do I have to duplicate all the test targets (one for each target)? Or do I have to manually change each test target before running it for a particular build target?
