Same PDF renders differently when open in Chrome, Safari; Apple Preview, Acrobat. on Apple Preview, Safari - the PDF appears correctly for a second or two and then appears washed out. Our app uses Safari to render PDFs and our users are complaining that scanned PDFs are not rendering properly. How do I fix this issue (Swift, Obj-C)?

Fatal safeAreaInsets Error on Certain iOS/iPadOS 26 Devices On certain devices that have updated to iOS/iPadOS 26, the safeAreaInsets value is displayed incorrectly when rotating. On the iPhone SE3, the safeAreaInsets.top value is displayed inverted when rotating. It should return 20.0 when rotated vertically and 0.0 when rotated horizontally. Currently, the value is reversed. (0.0 when rotated horizontally and 20.0 when rotated vertically.) On iPad Pro devices, the safeAreaInsets.top value is always returned as 0.0 when the app is first launched. (This issue is believed to occur on all iPad devices, including the iPad Pro.) If the user subsequently rotates the iPad, the safeAreaInsets value is returned correctly. On the iPhone 17 with dynamic islands, the safeAreaInsets value is displayed correctly. My guess is that all devices running iOS/iPadOS 26 without dynamic islands will experience an issue where the safeAreaInsets value is displayed incorrectly. This issue occurs when building with Xcode 26. Apple, please issue an OS update as soon as possible. Or, if this is an Xcode issue, please update Xcode.

Area: Software Update Type of Feedback: Application Bug Description Device: iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Build environment: Xcode 16.4 Problem description: When a text field has secureTextEntry = YES and Password Autofill / Passkeys is active, the autofill panel is not included in the rect reported from the keyboard notifications (UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey or others). As a result, when calculating the offset to move the screen up and reveal the hidden input field, the field is not displayed correctly because the reported keyboard height is smaller than the actual visible height. Observed behavior: This only occurs on devices running iOS 26 built with Xcode 16.4. On previous versions of iOS, with the same settings (secureTextEntry and Autofill active), the rect correctly includes the autofill panel height, and the UI works as expected. I tested with both UIKeyboardDidShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, and in both cases the behavior is the same: the height is incorrect (smaller than expected with the autofill panel). What I expect / questions: That UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey (or the related notification) correctly reports the total area covered by the keyboard, including any password autofill panel, when secureTextEntry is active. That the new behavior in iOS 26 be documented if this omission is intentional, or otherwise considered a bug if it is not. If there is any official workaround suggested by Apple for developers affected by this issue while a fix is provided. Thank you for your support.

I have an App which supports multiple windows on the iPad. The App can receive URLs from other Apps (via application.openURL()) and also files via "share sheet" (via UIActivityViewController). When receiving a URL from another App the delegate method scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set) will be called on an existing UIScene, however when a file is received through the share sheet from another App, a new UIScene is created and therefore also a new window (eg the delegates application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) and scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) are called). In both cases I do get the URL and file just fine, however I do not want to get new UIScenes and windows created when receiving a file via share sheet. How can I prevent to get a new UIScene or window? The received files should be used in the existing windows and should not create new ones.

When tapping a UIButton I present a view controller like this: let vc = ViewController() present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) Inside, I set a clear background with a visual effect view with a blur effect, like this: view.backgroundColor = .clear blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .regular)) //autolayout constraints for the blurEffectView view.addSubview(blurEffectView) But the background remains full white in iOS 26. How can I bring the blur+transparency back like in iOS 18? What am I doing wrong?

I'm working on an AppIcon selector and would like to do something like UIImage(named: "AppIcon-Alternate") to present the icon for the user to choose using the new IconComposer icons. I've done a fair bit of research on this and it looks like this used to be possible (prior to .icon) with workarounds that were later 'fixed' / removed (appending 60x60 to the icon name). The only 'solution' seems to be bundling the exported images into the app itself but this seems like a terrible idea as it massively bloats the app. Assuming we export from the new IconComposer tool and want to include dark mode that's roughly 3MB per icon which is absolutely shocking bloat and so a terrible solution. Looking into the app the Assets.car actually generates png files for these alternate icons. These are in the json as "MultiSized Image" assets. Interestingly using UIImage(named: is actually attempting to load these but fails to resolve an kCSIElementSignature. Also the OS alert when switching alternate icon shows a preview of the icon so this must be privately possible and using Asset Catalog Tinkerer I'm able to see these pngs. This feels like broken API; I'd guess the new icon format is not correctly generating the entry in the Asset.car to link the generated pngs for usage with UIImage(named:) API. Does anyone have pointers for this? This feels like a developer API afterthought or bug but is it intentional? Edit: I've submitted feedback for this FB20341182.

We’ve been using the new Icon Composer–generated app icons for our existing universal bundle (iOS + Mac Catalyst) app. The icons work perfectly for iOS on the App Store. On macOS Tahoe (macOS 26), however, the App Store listing doesn’t display the app icon — it just shows placeholder while downloading. After the app is installed, the icon displays fine everywhere (Dock, Finder, Launchpad, etc.). Setup: using .iconset generated via Icon Composer, bundled with .png inside the .icon file. On older macOS App Stores, the app icon shows as expected. On Tahoe App Store only, the issue appears. Could this be because the App Store expects .svg variants inside the .icon file for proper display in the Store? Or is there any updated requirement for Mac App Store metadata icons vs. bundled app icons? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m running into a strange issue with UISearchController placement with iOS 26 SDK. In one of my view controllers, I was able to move the search bar to the top of the navigation bar by setting: navigationItem.searchController = searchController navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked This works as expected — the search bar is placed at the top. However, in another view controller with almost identical configuration, the search bar always shows up at the bottom. If I delay the setup with DispatchQueue.main.async, it appears at the bottom; if I don’t, it doesn’t appear at all. Both VCs are wrapped in their own UINavigationController. So my questions are: Has anyone faced this issue where preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked is ignored? Are there hidden requirements or limitations for placing the search bar at the top? Why could the same setup behave differently in two controllers? Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

On iPad running iOS 26, UIKeyboardType.decimalPad sometimes appears as a floating keypad (compact panel) instead of the docked, full-width keyboard. Our app attaches a custom toolbar via inputAccessoryView, so the floating keypad hides the toolbar and breaks the flow. We’d like to opt out of the floating keypad or force the keyboard to remain docked when a toolbar is present. Environment Device: iPad (multiple models) OS: iPadOS 26.0 App type: UIKit Field: UITextField with keyboardType = .decimalPad We present a custom toolbar via inputAccessoryView Expected Docked (full-width) keyboard so the inputAccessoryView toolbar is visible and sized correctly. Actual A floating decimal keypad appears and covers content; our accessory toolbar isn’t visible/attached to it. Why this matters Our toolbar contains required domain actions (Done/Next, Previous). When the keypad floats, the user loses these controls. Questions Is there a supported way to opt out of the floating numeric keypad on iPad when using decimalPad? Is there an API/trait to prefer docked keyboard (e.g., when an inputAccessoryView is present)?

Summary: When running our iPad app on macOS (“Designed for iPad”), invoking UIPrintInteractionController intermittently fails to show a working print sheet. The same code works reliably on iPad or iOS devices and also on macOS pre 26. This regression started after updating to macOS Tahoe Version 26.0 (25A354) Steps to Reproduce: Launch the attached minimal sample on macOS (Designed for iPad). Tap “Print plain text” Expected Results: The print panel should appear and discover AirPrint printers reliably, as on iPad/iOS or previous mac versions. Actual Results: On macOS, the panel fails to appear. Mac version: macOS Tahoe 26.0 (25A354) xCode version: 26.0 (17A324) Sample Reproduction Code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Button("Print plain text") { printPlainText() } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .padding() } func printPlainText() { let text = "This is just a sample print" guard UIPrintInteractionController.isPrintingAvailable else { NSLog("Printing not available on this device") return } let info = UIPrintInfo(dictionary: nil) info.outputType = .general info.jobName = "Plain Text" let formatter = UISimpleTextPrintFormatter(text: text) formatter.perPageContentInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 36, left: 36, bottom: 36, right: 36) let ctrl = UIPrintInteractionController.shared ctrl.printInfo = info ctrl.printFormatter = formatter DispatchQueue.main.async { ctrl.present(animated: true) { _, completed, error in if let error { NSLog("Print error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { NSLog(completed ? "Print completed" : "Print cancelled") } } } } } Also I have added the following values to info.plist: <key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs local network access to discover AirPrint printers.</string> <key>NSBonjourServices</key> <array> <string>_ipp._tcp.</string> <string>_ipps._tcp.</string> <string>_printer._tcp.</string> </array>

We’ve recently updated our app to adopt the native iOS 26 tab bar. Since then, we’ve started seeing crashes on iOS 26 devices with swift_getObjectType appearing in the stack. I’ve reviewed the logs in Organizer but couldn’t find anything conclusive. The issue seems isolated to iOS 26 and doesn’t reproduce on earlier versions. com.grofers.consumer_issue_2cc3a4a209ab2b47bfbdab919a320fa7_crash_session_68148be54ef5441fac56d3138d055bac_DNE_5_v2_stacktrace.txt

Dear Apple Support, We are encountering an issue with deep linking on iOS 26 when using Safari and App Store redirection. Below are the detailed steps to reproduce the problem: The app is not installed on the device. User clicks on a Branch link: For example:- https://qewed.app.link/99u88ef9f?uuid=88dbwh5ubd4b Safari opens and displays the fallback page. User taps on “Get the App”, which navigates to the App Store. User installs and opens the app. Expected Behavior:
The app should receive the Branch link parameters (in this case, uuid=88dbwh5ubd4b) upon first open. Actual Behavior:
The app opens successfully, but the uuid parameter is not passed to the app. This issue seems specific to the Safari → App Store → App flow on iOS 26, as other flows behave correctly. Could you please advise whether this is a known issue or if there are recommended adjustments on our side to ensure parameters are consistently delivered after App Store redirection? Note: We are using Branch SDK version 3.11.0 (Cocoapods dependency) Thank you for your assistance.

When preparing the app for the new iOS 26, I came across an unpleasant design decision. Specifically, in the new design, the keyboard has rounded corners, under which the system background is visible. And here we have only two options, a light/dark background, which breaks all keyboard calls in the application. Can you tell me if there is any way around this problem?

Scenario: Typing Chinese Zhuyin “ㄨㄤ” and then selecting the candidate word “王”. On iOS 18, the delegate (textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:) is called with: range: {0, 2} replacementString: "王" On iOS 26, the delegate (textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRanges:replacementString:) instead provides: ranges: [{2, 0}] replacementString: "王" This results in inconsistent text input handling compared to earlier system versions. Implement: Limit user input to a maximum of 100 Chinese characters. - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string { if ([textField markedTextRange]) { return YES; } NSString *changedString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string]; if (changedString.length > 100) { return NO; } return YES; } Questions: Is this an intentional change in iOS 26? If intentional, what is the recommended way to handle such cases in order to support both iOS 18 and iOS 26 consistently?

Hello, I’m seeing a layout issue where the system window controls overlap the navigation bar’s right-side buttons when the app window is resized on iPadOS 26. Environment Xcode: 16.4 Simulator: iPadOS 26.0, device profile iPad Pro 13-inch Physical device: iPad updated to iPadOS 26 (same behavior) UI stack: UIKit + Storyboards (no SwiftUI) App structure: Root UINavigationController Summary Since iPadOS 26 introduced freely resizable app windows, the system’s window management controls (close/minimize/resize at the top-right) begin to overlap the navigation bar buttons as the window size becomes smaller. At maximum window size there’s no issue. Additionally, the navigation bar buttons themselves appear to scale down visually when the window gets smaller. Steps to Reproduce Build with Xcode 16.4 and run on iPadOS 26.0 (simulator or device). Open a screen embedded in a UINavigationController with right-side bar button items. Resize the app window to a smaller size. Observe the top-right system window controls overlapping the navigation bar buttons. Expected Result System window controls should not overlap app content; the navigation bar should remain usable and properly spaced at all supported window sizes. Actual Result When the window is small, the system window controls overlap the right-side navigation bar buttons. The bar button items also appear to shrink as the window size decreases. Notes Reproducible on both simulator and a real device updated to iPadOS 26. Project uses UIKit + Storyboards only (no SwiftUI). Safe areas and basic constraints look fine, so the root cause is unclear. Questions Is this a known issue with iPadOS 26 resizable windows? Any recommended workaround (e.g., API to reserve space near the window controls, UINavigationBar configuration, or trait/size-class handling)? I can provide a minimal sample project and screenshots if helpful. Thank you!

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

Platform: iOS 26 RC / Xcode 26 RC Component: UIKit - UITextField Description: When typing a Japanese character (or other IME input) as the first character in a UITextField and then losing focus (by pressing Enter or tapping elsewhere), the character is incorrectly duplicated. This issue only happens in iOS26 beta. Steps to Reproduce: Create a UITextField with shouldChangeCharactersIn delegate Switch to Japanese keyboard Type "あ" (or any hiragana character) Press Enter or tap outside the text field Observe the character count becomes 2 instead of 1 Expected Result: Character count should remain 1 Actual Result: Character is duplicated, count becomes 2 Sample Code: func shouldChangeText( in range: NSRange, replacementText string: String, maximumNumberOfCharacters: Int, regexValidation: String? = nil) -> (String, Bool) { guard let stringRange = Range(range, in: currentText) else { return (currentText, false) } if let regex = regexValidation, string != "", // delete key !string.room.checkPattern(regex) { return (currentText, false) } let changedText = currentText.replacingCharacters(in: stringRange, with: string) let allowChange = changedText.utf16.count <= maximumNumberOfCharacters print("=== stringRange: \(stringRange), currentText: \(currentText), replacementText: \(string) changedText: \(changedText), allowChange: \(allowChange) ===") guard !allowChange else { return (changedText, allowChange) } // Accept text deletion even if changedText count is more than maximumNumberCharacters guard !string.isEmpty else { return (changedText, true) } insert(text: string, maximumNumberOfCharacters: maximumNumberOfCharacters) return (currentText, allowChange) }

I’m creating a UITabBarController with a simple array of UITab instances. I’m setting the mode to .tabSideBar. How do I prevent editing? I don’t want the Edit button to appear at all. I’ve tried setting the tab controller’s customizableViewControllers property to both nil and an empty array but neither is preventing the Edit button from appearing. I scanned the various delegates and I don‘t see any relevant methods. So far I’ve tested this on a simulated iPad running iPadOS 26 using Xcode 26 RC.

Looking to see if anyone has experienced this issue, and is aware of any workarounds. With an app migrating towards SwiftUI Views but still using UIKit for primary navigation, my app makes use of UIHostingController to push SwiftUI Views onto a UINavigationController stack in a lot of areas. With iOS 26, I notice that SwiftUI's Menu view really struggles to present when contained in a UIHostingController. An error is logged to the console on presentation, and depending on the UI, the Menu won't present inside of it's container, or will jump around the screen. The bug, it seems is based in a private class UIReparentingView and I am curious if anyone has found a work around for this issue. The error reported is: Adding '_UIReparentingView' as a subview of UIHostingController.view is not supported and may result in a broken view hierarchy. Add your view above UIHostingController.view in a common superview or insert it into your SwiftUI content in a UIViewRepresentable instead. The simplest way to see this issue is to create a new storyboard based project. From the ViewController present a UIHostingController with a SwiftUI view that has a Menu and then simply tap to open the Menu. Thanks for any input!
