How to move focus across multiple textfields using arrow keys/enter key in iOS
Hi. I have an iOS application with multiple input fields. I have to design an experience such that whenever the user presses enter key on a textfield, it should move focus to the next input field. Similarly, consider a stack of 3 textfields, I want to cycle the focus as and when the user presses up/down arrow keys. Other platforms like Android, have this feature out-of-the-box. I wanted to understand if iOS also supports this kind of behavior. I know how to manually code such UX, but just wanted to confirm whether there is some inherent feature like on android which i can leverage? Thanks.

UITabBar ignores font in iOS 26.2
Our app has a UITabBar and the compactInlineLayoutAppearance has a custom font set. This worked fine on iOS 26.0 and 26.1. [self.bottomTabBar.standardAppearance.compactInlineLayoutAppearance.normal setTitleTextAttributes: @{ NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:@"AvenirNext-DemiBold" size:18.0] }]; But on iOS 26.2, the system ignores this custom font. How can I apply a custom font to a UITabBar on iOS 26.2?

UITabBar Appears During Swipe-Back Gesture on iOS 26 Liquid Glass UI
Hello, While integrating the Liquid Glass UI introduced in iOS 26 into my existing app, I encountered an unexpected issue. My app uses a UITabBarController, where each tab contains a UINavigationController, and the actual content resides in each UIViewController. Typically, I perform navigation using navigationController?.pushViewController(...) and hide the TabBar by setting vc.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true when needed. This structure worked perfectly fine prior to iOS 26, and I believe many apps use a similar approach. However, after enabling Liquid Glass UI, a problem occurs. Problem Description From AViewController, I push BViewController with hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true. BViewController appears, and the TabBar is hidden as expected. When performing a swipe-back gesture, as soon as AViewController becomes visible, the TabBar immediately reappears (likely due to A’s viewWillAppear). The TabBar remains visible for a short moment even if the gesture is canceled — during that time, it is also interactable. Before iOS 26, the TabBar appeared synchronized with AViewController and did not prematurely show during the swipe transition. Tried using the new iOS 18 API: tabBarController?.setTabBarHidden(false, animated: true) It slightly improves the animation behavior, but the issue persists. If hidesBottomBarWhenPushed is now deprecated or discouraged, migrating entirely to setTabBarHidden would require significant refactoring, which is not practical for many existing apps. Is this caused by a misuse of hidesBottomBarWhenPushed, or could this be a regression or design change in iOS 26’s Liquid Glass UI?

How to Implement Dynamic Type for UITextFields Without Resetting Data
Hello! I was doing some accessibility testing for my app and found out that when the user switches the text size, all of the data in the text fields is reset, which causes major disruption. I've tried looking for documentation, but all I've found is information on how to dynamically scale the UI for different text sizes, which I've already implemented. My guess is that every time Dynamic Type registers a change, it redraws my UI instead of just updating it. How can I make sure the data is not reset when the text size changes?

iOS 18.1 crash UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() / swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign / objc_storeWeak
We're seeing sporadic crashes on devices running iOS 18.1 - both beta and release builds (22B83). The stack trace is always identical, a snippet of it below. As you can tell from the trace, it's happening in places we embed SwiftUI into UIKit via UIHostingController. Anyone else seeing this? 4 libobjc.A.dylib 0xbe2c _objc_fatalv(unsigned long long, unsigned long long, char const*, char*) + 30 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0xb040 weak_register_no_lock + 396 6 libobjc.A.dylib 0xac50 objc_storeWeak + 472 7 libswiftCore.dylib 0x43ac34 swift_unknownObjectWeakAssign + 24 8 SwiftUI 0xeb74c8 _UIHostingView.base.getter + 160 9 SwiftUI 0x92124 _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 112 10 SwiftUI 0x47860 @objc _UIHostingView.layoutSubviews() + 36

Menu presentation in UIHostingController issues
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!

AVPlayer loading performance problem in iOS 26
Hi, I have an app that displays tens of short (<1mb) mp4 videos stored in a remote server in a vertical UICollectionView that has horizontally scrollable sections. I'm caching all mp4 files on disk after downloading, and I also have a in-memory cache that holds a limited number (around 30) of players. The players I'm using are simple views that wrap an AVPlayerLayer and its AVPlayerItem, along with a few additional UI components. The scrolling performance was good before iOS 26, but with the release of iOS 26, I noticed that there is significant stuttering during scrolling while creating players with a fileUrl. It happens even if use the same video file cached on disk for each cell for testing. I also started getting this kind of log messages after the players are deinitialized: <<<< PlayerRemoteXPC >>>> signalled err=-12785 at <>:1107 <<<< PlayerRemoteXPC >>>> signalled err=-12785 at <>:1095 <<<< PlayerRemoteXPC >>>> signalled err=-12785 at <>:1095 There's also another log message that I see occasionally, but I don't know what triggers it. << FigXPC >> signalled err=-16152 at <>:1683 Is there anyone else that experienced this kind of problem with the latest release? Also, I'm wondering what's the best way to resolve the issue. I could increase the size of the memory cache to something large like 100, but I'm not sure if it is an acceptable solution because: 1- There will be 100 player instance in memory at all times. 2- There will still be stuttering during the initial loading of the videos from the web. Any help is appreciated!

Unwanted animations appear on UIButton (iOS 26)
After the iOS 26 update, unwanted animations appear on UIButton. I'm using the attributedTitle property of UIButton.Configuration to change the button's text, and an animation appears after iOS 26. (It's unclear whether it's after iOS 26.0 or iOS 26.1, but it likely started with 26.1.) The peculiar thing is that the animation only starts appearing on buttons that have been pressed once. I tried using UIView.performWithoutAnimation and CATransaction's begin(), setDisableActions(true), commit(), but it didn't work. How should I solve this? Below is the code for changing the button's text. func updateTitle() { let keys = type.keys if keys.count == 1 { guard let key = keys.first else { return } if key.count == 1 { if Character(key).isLowercase { self.configuration?.attributedTitle = AttributedString(key, attributes: AttributeContainer([.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 24, weight: .regular), .foregroundColor: UIColor.label])) } else if Character(key).isUppercase { self.configuration?.attributedTitle = AttributedString(key, attributes: AttributeContainer([.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 22, weight: .regular), .foregroundColor: UIColor.label])) } else { self.configuration?.attributedTitle = AttributedString(key, attributes: AttributeContainer([.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 22, weight: .regular), .foregroundColor: UIColor.label])) } } else { self.configuration?.attributedTitle = AttributedString(key, attributes: AttributeContainer([.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 18, weight: .regular), .foregroundColor: UIColor.label])) } } else { let joined = keys.joined(separator: "") self.configuration?.attributedTitle = AttributedString(joined, attributes: AttributeContainer([.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 22, weight: .regular), .foregroundColor: UIColor.label])) } }

iOS 14.3 UITextField leak?
Why is the UIKeyboard implementation still holding a reference to this UITextField, thus keeping it from being deallocated? The memory debugger shows: UIKeyboardImpl -> UIKBAutofillController -> NSMutableDictionary -> NSMutable...(Storage) -> UITextField Any idea what's going on there?

Keyboard Notification UIKit magic.
Dear random Apple UIKit engineer. This is a question for you. Today let's speak about keyboard notifications. In particular, UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification and UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification. While working with those, I noticed some undocumented behaviour. First, let me give you some context: extension UIViewController { func registerForKeyboardNotifications() { NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardNotification), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil) NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardNotification), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil) } /// Override this method to handle keyboard notifications. @objc func keyboardNotification(_ notification: Notification) { ... } } Eventually, I found that latter method with 3 dots has an implicit animation inside it's scope. Here is the [proof.](https://medium.com /uptech-team/why-does-uiresponder-keyboard-notification-handler-animate-10cc96bce372) Another thing I noticed, is that this property definition is perfectly valid let curve = UIView.AnimationCurve(rawValue: 7)!. The 7 btw comes from UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey as a default value during my tests. So, the enum with 4 possible values (0...3) can be initialized with a value out of enum's cases range. Also, how can I initialize UIView.AnimationOption from 7? I will pollute my OptionSet which I feed to options parameter on UIView.animate(...) My questions: Why implicit animation is not documented and can I trust it or it's a subject to change. Why UIView.AnimationCurve(rawValue: 7)! does not crash. How can I convert UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey's value into UIView.AnimationOption properly if I don't want to use implicit value. I don't encroach on UIKit secrets. I just need to know how to work with the API. Thank you!

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.

UIToolbar + liquid glass = autolayout warnings?
I have an app where I create UIToolbars and add them to UIViews programatically. I've never used autolayout for anything, I've never assigned any constraints to anything, etc. This worked fine pre-iOS 26. Now I'm trying to build for iOS 26 (liquid glass) and my toolbars are spamming my debug pane with hundreds of lines of autolayout warnings. Here are some key phrases from the warnings: Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) Does anybody know what happened and how I can get it to stop? The way things are, I can't use the debug pane for anything because of this spam.

How to Constrain a TableView Cell Similarly to Apple's Settings App
Hello! I'm creating a settings page for my app and I want it to look as native as possible. I want to know if it's possible to add constraints that make the second label go to the bottom when the text size gets really large (see Picture1) instead of having to force it to be on the right (see Picture 2). I've left my constraint code for this cell down below, too. I'm still learning constraints and best practices, so if there's any feedback, I'd love to hear it. Thank you! Picture 1 Picture 2 - (void) setConstraints { [NSLayoutConstraint activateConstraints:@[ // Cell Title Label [self.themeColorLabel.leadingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.leadingAnchor], [self.themeColorLabel.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.trailingAnchor], [self.themeColorLabel.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor], [self.themeColorLabel.bottomAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.bottomAnchor], // Selected Theme Color Label [self.selectedColorLabel.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.trailingAnchor], [self.selectedColorLabel.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor], [self.selectedColorLabel.bottomAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.bottomAnchor], ]]; }

NotificationCenter Crash On iOS 18+ Swift6.2
After switching our iOS app project from Swift 5 to Swift 6 and publishing an update, we started seeing a large number of crashes in Firebase Crashlytics. The crashes are triggered by NotificationCenter methods (post, addObserver, removeObserver) and show the following error: BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Assertion failed: Block was expected to execute on queue [com.apple.main-thread (0x1f9dc1580)] All scopes to related calls are already explicitly marked with @MainActor. This issue never occurred with Swift 5, but appeared immediately after moving to Swift 6. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known solution or workaround? Thanks in advance!

UIHostingController adds extra backgrounds on iOS 26.1, breaks Liquid Glass effect
I was trying to figure out why my bottom sheet looks weird and doesn't have the "proper glass" look. I found that this issue seems to be new to iOS 26.1. See the images below, they show the same view hierarchy (in this case UIHostingController configured as bottom sheet that has NavigationStack and content. On iOS 26.1 there seems to be extra two layers of background - even though I am no adding any. iOS 26: iOS 26.1 Has anyone experienced something similar? Any workarounds? I am happy to completely disable the glass effect for this bottom sheet if it helps. The screenshots show one sheet, but the same thing happens for another ones.

UIStatusBarHidden doesn't work expectedly on iOS 26
When UIStatusBarHidden is set to YES, the navigation bar is displayed in the wrong vertical position immediately after app launch. The layout only corrects itself after the device orientation changes (e.g., rotation). Steps to Reproduce: Create a new app with a navigation controller. Set UIStatusBarHidden = YES in Info.plist. Launch the app. Expected Result: The navigation bar should appear in the correct position immediately after launch. Actual Result: The navigation bar is misaligned on first launch, and only moves to the correct position after rotating the device.

Is there any replacement for UIViewController's modalInPopover?
UIViewController's modalInPopover is deprecated and might disappear in the near future. Is there any replacement? UIViewController's presentViewController:animated:completion is not an equivalent because the modal style cannot be changed while the controller is already presented.

UIToolbar + liquid glass = autolayout warnings?
I have an app where I create UIToolbars and add them to UIViews programatically. I've never used autolayout for anything, I've never assigned any constraints to anything, etc. This worked fine pre-iOS 26. Now I'm trying to build for iOS 26 (liquid glass) and my toolbars are spamming my debug pane with hundreds of lines of autolayout warnings. Here are some key phrases from the warnings: Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) Does anybody know what happened and how I can get it to stop? The way things are, I can't use the debug pane for anything because of this spam.

How to Constrain a TableView Cell Similarly to Apple's Settings App
Hello! I'm creating a settings page for my app and I want it to look as native as possible. I want to know if it's possible to add constraints that make the second label go to the bottom when the text size gets really large (see Picture1) instead of having to force it to be on the right (see Picture 2). I've left my constraint code for this cell down below, too. I'm still learning constraints and best practices, so if there's any feedback, I'd love to hear it. Thank you! Picture 1 Picture 2 - (void) setConstraints { [NSLayoutConstraint activateConstraints:@[ // Cell Title Label [self.themeColorLabel.leadingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.leadingAnchor], [self.themeColorLabel.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.trailingAnchor], [self.themeColorLabel.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor], [self.themeColorLabel.bottomAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.bottomAnchor], // Selected Theme Color Label [self.selectedColorLabel.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.trailingAnchor], [self.selectedColorLabel.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor], [self.selectedColorLabel.bottomAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor: self.contentView.layoutMarginsGuide.bottomAnchor], ]]; }

NotificationCenter Crash On iOS 18+ Swift6.2
After switching our iOS app project from Swift 5 to Swift 6 and publishing an update, we started seeing a large number of crashes in Firebase Crashlytics. The crashes are triggered by NotificationCenter methods (post, addObserver, removeObserver) and show the following error: BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Assertion failed: Block was expected to execute on queue [com.apple.main-thread (0x1f9dc1580)] All scopes to related calls are already explicitly marked with @MainActor. This issue never occurred with Swift 5, but appeared immediately after moving to Swift 6. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known solution or workaround? Thanks in advance!

UIHostingController adds extra backgrounds on iOS 26.1, breaks Liquid Glass effect
I was trying to figure out why my bottom sheet looks weird and doesn't have the "proper glass" look. I found that this issue seems to be new to iOS 26.1. See the images below, they show the same view hierarchy (in this case UIHostingController configured as bottom sheet that has NavigationStack and content. On iOS 26.1 there seems to be extra two layers of background - even though I am no adding any. iOS 26: iOS 26.1 Has anyone experienced something similar? Any workarounds? I am happy to completely disable the glass effect for this bottom sheet if it helps. The screenshots show one sheet, but the same thing happens for another ones.

Popover controls are missing content after upgrade to MacOS 15.3.2
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.

UIStatusBarHidden doesn't work expectedly on iOS 26
When UIStatusBarHidden is set to YES, the navigation bar is displayed in the wrong vertical position immediately after app launch. The layout only corrects itself after the device orientation changes (e.g., rotation). Steps to Reproduce: Create a new app with a navigation controller. Set UIStatusBarHidden = YES in Info.plist. Launch the app. Expected Result: The navigation bar should appear in the correct position immediately after launch. Actual Result: The navigation bar is misaligned on first launch, and only moves to the correct position after rotating the device.
