Hello, I have a SwiftUI View sitting in the UIHosting view controller. On rotation to landscape, the system would add padding to the toolbar. I presume it's the nav bar. Anyone experienced this? What would be this space? padding? content margin?

Hi Apple Team and community, We've noticed a change in how UITableView separators are rendered in iOS 26 (tested using Xcode 26.0), and we'd like to confirm if this is an intentional behaviour change or a potential bug. Issue Description In a .plain-style UITableView, the top separator line above the first cell in each section is no longer rendered in iOS 26. We've confirmed that this separator is also absent from the view hierarchy. This issue did not occur in previous iOS versions (e.g., iOS 18), where the top separator above the first cell of a section was rendered as expected. The issue doesn't occur for UITableView with no sections. Expected Behavior When using a .plain style UITableView, the standard top separator should appear above the first cell of each section, as part of the default system rendering. Actual Behavior In iOS 26, this top separator is missing, even though the rest of the separators render normally. Environment iOS version: iOS 26 (Simulator) Xcode version: Xcode 26.0 Tested using: UIKit with Swift, both Storyboard and programmatic view setups Sample app and screenshots: Drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aoXeFHO_Sya-6Rvp0fZ0s2V4KLQucRMb?usp=sharing Questions: Is this a known change in rendering behavior for UITableView in iOS 26? If not, is anyone else experiencing the same issue? We'd appreciate any insights or potential workarounds to restore the top separator in .plain-style table views. Any clarification or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I use appearance api to set a custom background image for my navigation bar. At the start color of the back button icon is black. But for some reason color becomes white when new screen is presented modally. My whole project is relied on the appearance api so I cannot remove or replace it. Looks like a bug. The setup code is simple: func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { // Override point for customization after application launch. setupappearance() return true } func setupappearance() { let navImage = UIImage(named: "new_navigation_background1") let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance() appearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground() appearance.backgroundImage = navImage UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = appearance UINavigationBar.appearance().compactAppearance = appearance UINavigationBar.appearance().compactScrollEdgeAppearance = appearance }

Application is in foreground state, When a user receives a cellular call and it is in the "ringing" state and application receives a VoIP APNS(video call) which is reported to CallKit. User rejects the Cellular call from CallKit UI, application Video call is also getting rejected (separate feedback - 19017978) and Here the issue is observed that an Application moved to background. Issue is not observed in iOS 18 and older versions. Issue observed only with UISceneDelegate changes. Using traditional UIApplicationDelegate doesn't have the issues. Video and Sysdiagnose logs are added in feedback: FB20187309

in iOS, user can set focus on UItextField and tapping a key in the virtual keyboard updates the text in the textfield. This user action causes the relevant delegates of UITextFieldDelegate to get invoked, i.e the handlers associated with action of user entering some text in the textfield. I m trying to simulate this user action where I am trying to do this programatically. I want to simulate it in a way such that all the handlers/listeners which otherwise would have been invoked as a result of user typing in the textfield should also get invoked now when i am trying to do it programatically. I have a specific usecase of this in my application. Below is how I m performing this simulation. I m manually updating the text field associated(UITextField.text) and updating its value. And then I m invoking the delegate manually as textField.delegate?.textField?(textField, shouldChangeCharactersIn: nsRange, replacementString: replacementString) I wanted to know If this is the right way to do this. Is there something better available that can be used, such that simulation has the same affect as the user performing the update?

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

We are observing that for devices with iPadOS 26, table views within apps are unexpectedly auto scrolling. The issue can be reproduced as follows: The table view has enough cells to the point where not all cells can fit on the screen and the table view is scrollable User has scrolled to the bottom of the tableView and tableView.reloadData() is called. One of the following applies: The ViewController containing the tableView is embedded in a UINavigationController, and ViewController sets self.edgesForExtendedLayout = .bottom The ViewController containing the tableView is embedded in a UINavigationController, and UINavigationController sets navigationBar.isTranslucent = false The following constraints are applied to the tableView: tableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true tableView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true tableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true tableView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true After thorough testing, we've found that the bug is only present in iPads with iPadOS 26. It does not show for iPhone devices or for iPads on iPadOS 18. We are hoping that this can be fixed as it is causing poor user experience. Full code needed to reproduce the issue: Use this willConnectTo function in SceneDelegate: func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene else { return } window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene) let navigationControllerWithVC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: ViewController()) // ⚠️ CASE 1 - Comment out the .isTranslucent setter below, or set the value to true, and the scrolling issue will be gone, granted that the other issue-causing lines in ViewController.swift // are also commented. navigationControllerWithVC.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false window?.rootViewController = navigationControllerWithVC // Replace this line with window?.rootViewController = ViewController() to get rid of UINavigationController window?.makeKeyAndVisible() } Use this ViewController class that is referenced from the SceneDelegate willConnectTo function: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource { var tableView: UITableView! var safeArea: UILayoutGuide! var timer: Timer! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // ⚠️ CASE 2 - Uncomment the line below when this view is inside a UINavigationController to cause the scrolling issue. //self.edgesForExtendedLayout = .bottom tableView = UITableView() safeArea = view.layoutMarginsGuide setupTableView() timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 3.0, target: self, selector: #selector(fireTimer), userInfo: nil, repeats: true) } @objc public func fireTimer() { tableView.reloadData() print("Reloaded table") } func setupTableView() { tableView.delegate = self tableView.dataSource = self view.addSubview(tableView) tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false // ⚠️ CASE 3 - Replace view.topAnchor in the next line below with safeArea.topAnchor to see the scrolling issue, regardless if view is inside a UINavigationController. tableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true tableView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true tableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true tableView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { 40 } public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat { 50.0 } public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = UITableViewCell() cell.textLabel?.text = indexPath.row == 39 ? "END" : "Row \(indexPath.row)" return cell } public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) { tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true) } } For reproducing this on iPadOS 26 simulators, I can confirm that simulators under Xcode 26.0.1 (17A400) and Xcode 26.1 Beta (17B5025f) will show the issue. The issue is present in iPadOS 26 and iPadOS 26.1 beta. I've also submitted Apple Feedback for this (FB20357980) with all this code in a Xcode project.

I have a triple-column UISplitViewController setup in "tile" mode. Each of the 3 columns has a table view controller. Under iPadOS 26, the section headers and row selection in the middle table extends all the way to the left of the screen, behind the primary column. It looks terrible. The documentation for "Adopting Liquid Glass" makes it sound like you can add this behavior by using UIBackgroundExtensionView. But I get this behavior automatically in a UISplitViewController. How do I turn this off? I created a simpler sample using a double-column split view with two table view controllers. Here's a screenshot of the result: Note how the section headers and the row selection appear all the way to the left edge of the screen. I don't want that effect. How do you turn off this effect in a UISplitViewController? Here is the code used to setup the split view and the app's main window: func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let winScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return } let primary = PrimaryViewController(style: .plain) let primaryNC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: primary) let detail = DetailViewController(style: .plain) let detailNC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: detail) let sv = UISplitViewController(style: .doubleColumn) sv.preferredDisplayMode = .oneBesideSecondary sv.preferredSplitBehavior = .tile sv.primaryBackgroundStyle = .none sv.displayModeButtonVisibility = .automatic sv.setViewController(primaryNC, for: .primary) sv.setViewController(detailNC, for: .secondary) let win = UIWindow(windowScene: winScene) win.rootViewController = sv win.makeKeyAndVisible() window = win } The PrimaryViewController and DetailViewController are simple UITableViewController subclasses that only add a few rows and section headers as needed.

Hi everyone: I'm experiencing an issue in iOS 26. I've implemented a custom ViewController. It's super simple to edit images with flip, crop, zoom in, and zoom out. My question is that it seems very strange to me. It works without problems in iOS 17.5 and iOS 18. However, when I try to run it with iOS 26, the entire ViewController seems disabled; it doesn't recognize touches or anything. When I checked the UI hierarchy, I saw a strange FloatingBarContainerView overlaying the entire ViewController. I searched the documentation for information about this view, but I couldn't find anything. Any help on how to hide or remove this view in iOS 26? This hasn't been implemented anywhere.

Hi. I am looking for a UIKit solution that allows me to “prevent” screen recording and sharing on certain pages in application. By “preventing” I mean that the distributed result should be a black content. Me as a user should still see the pages’s content as it is, but the recording or shared screen footage should show a black screen. I have already checked out the workaround solutions with UITextField, but those does not work for me. So I am looking for other suggestion. (Btw I know that nothing stops a user from taking a video of an app with another phone, but I still need a solution to the issue I have described above)

My UIKit/Mac Catalyst app supports a user opening multiple windows (multiple scenes). One of these is a special scene that shows content that I want to appear in front of all other app windows/scenes, even while the user is interacting with one of the app's other scenes. I do not need this special scene to stay in front of the windows of other apps, just in front of the windows of my own app. While I'm not 100% sure, it seems that AppKit supports this through the NSWindow level property. I can't find any equivalent feature in UIKit/Mac Catalyst. UIWindow windowLevel is not the same thing since that only affects the order of windows within a given scene. I need an entire scene (and its windows) to stay in front of my app's other scenes (and their windows). I don't see anything relevant in UIWindow, UIScene, UIWindowScene, UISceneSession, UIScene.ActivationRequestOptions, or UIWindowScene.ActivationRequestOptions.

I have been trying to run the ios build and facing issues since last few days. I installed xcode with ios26 and switched to xcode 16.2 beta and now in xcode16.1. My development is blocked as am hitting errors one after the other. Can you point me to any configuration which works ? My development is blocked and its real pain.

Applicaiton is built with WebKit and native camera view controller . Issue is seen always when presenting a UIVideoEditorController class on top of MainVC(webKit). Please refer the attached image Code: self.videoEditor.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen; [viewController presentViewController:self.videoEditor animated: YES completion:nil];

I have a Catalyst app on the App Store and I'm starting to get messages from users that the popover bubbles all over the app are without content. I see the error locally as well, but I don't know how to fix it. I get the following warning in XCode when opening a popup: UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set.

No Trace of My App is found in Crash Report. The last trace is from UIKitCore. -> Foundation [NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 288 (NSException.m:252) -> UIKitCore [UICollectionView _createPreparedSupplementaryViewForElementOfKind:atIndexPath:layout:withLayoutAttributes:applyAttributes:] + 1180 (UICollectionView.m:3974) What can be the possible causes for this type of crash?

I'm currently using the extension below to determine whether an iPhone has a notch so I can adjust my UI accordingly. extension UIDevice { var hasNotch: Bool { if userInterfaceIdiom == .phone, let window = (UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes .compactMap { $0 as? UIWindowScene } .flatMap { $0.windows } .first { $0.isKeyWindow }) { return window.safeAreaInsets.bottom > 0 } return false } } (Adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73946911/how-to-detect-users-device-has-dynamic-island-in-uikit) This no longer works in iOS 26, and I have yet to find a similar method that works. Does anyone have any fixes?

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with my app where it's being terminated by the system with a watchdog violation during back-to-back messaging operations. I've analyzed the crash logs but would appreciate additional insights on optimizing my approach. I'd appreciate any insights on how to resolve this problem. Crash Details: Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL) Termination Reason: FRONTBOARD with code 0x8BADF00D Error: "scene-update watchdog transgression: app exhausted real time allowance of 10.00 seconds" Reproduction Steps: User A initiates back-to-back messages to other User User A's UI becomes unresponsive and eventually the app crashes. Stack Trace Analysis: The crash occurs on the main thread, which appears to be blocked waiting for a condition in the keyboard handling system. The thread is stuck in [UIKeyboardTaskQueue _lockWhenReadyForMainThread] and related methods, suggesting an issue with keyboard-related operations during the messaging process.

I’m building a Flutter plugin to access the new menubar API on iPadOS. Everything works fine with a single scene, but I’m running into issues when adding support for multiple scenes: Only odd-numbered windows (first, third, etc.) build their menus correctly. Even-numbered windows ignore the menus sent from Flutter and fall back to a default menubar. When switching between scenes, the last rendered menu always persists instead of updating to the current focus. So far, I’ve: Implemented the plugin as a singleton. Tried to persist menu state per scene, but without success. What would be the recommended approach here? Should I avoid a singleton and manage state entirely per UIScene instance? The project is open-source, and if anyone is willing to take a look, here are the relevant files: /ios/Classes/IpadOSMenubarPlugin.swift /example/ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Hey All, Curious if you guys are seeing the same thing for those who are using Interface Builder Files (Xib) i set the line seperator to none and on my app (built against ios 18 on the app store, but doesnt matter if i build it against ios 26, or ios 26.1) when running on iOS 26.1 the line seperator will show even when i set it to None. Funny enough if i just play around with the XIB file and set it to single line and maybe RED color the IB file will show it but when running it its the same old default dark greyish color. BUT if i set the line seperator in CODE either to be none or with single line + red it looks good when running on sim / device. So it seems to be an issue with XIB files not being respected in iOS 26.1 (only) i have submitted a feed back FB20466783, hope this helps any xcode devs / uikit devs. thank you !
