I am developing an application which make use of 2 ornaments anchored to a volumetric window, one used a toolbar and one to display different views.
The problem I am facing consistently is that the ornaments seems to scale up or down after moving the volume using the OS handle or starting a GroupActivity session.
This first image shows the ornaments as soon as I started the app, no dragging nor group activities:
This second images shows them as soon as I join a group activity session:
The map, which might seem smaller, has not been touched and has always the same scale.
In this last image I had just dragged the entire volume using the OS toolbar, resulting in the ornaments scaling down:
This is how the volume and the ornaments are declared:
WindowGroup(id: "CityVolume") {
let cityVM = CityViewModel(volumeSize: CityView.initialVolumeSize)
CityView(cityVM: cityVM)
.ornament(attachmentAnchor: .scene(.bottomFront)) {
HStack {
TourismChartsButton()
LandmarksListButton()
CenterMapButton()
ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton()
TrafficDataButton()
BusLinesButton()
}
.padding()
.offset(z: 10)
.rotation3DEffect(Angle(degrees: 15), axis: (x: 1.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0))
}
.ornament(attachmentAnchor: .scene(.back)) {
ZStack {
if AppModel.Instance.tourismVM.isChartViewVisible {
TourismChartsView()
}
if AppModel.Instance.busLinesVM.isDataViewEnabled {
BusLineView()
}
}
}
.task(observeGroupActivity)
.onAppear {
appModel.cityVM = cityVM
}
}
.windowStyle(.volumetric)
.windowResizability(.contentSize)
.volumeWorldAlignment(.gravityAligned)
.defaultSize(CityView.initialVolumeSize, in: .meters)
It happens also without starting a SharePlay session, but not as frequently as during SharePlay. Experienced the same behaviour with toolbars.
Am I doing something wrong with how I created the ornaments? Am I missing something?

Scenario is when keyboard is opened within the app being developed then switch to other app, for instance, Notes app and create a note to enable keyboard from there. While the Notes app keyboard is active switch back to the developed app the keyboard in it is dismissed. Any thoughts?Thanks

跟苹果官方审核人员电话沟通过后,我更觉得拒绝审核没有道理了。
对话谈到两点,我游戏的代码和其他游戏的代码相似,我游戏的概念玩法和其他游戏的相似。
代码相似方面,应该是机器审核的,我这个游戏从1月底到现在4月初已经稳定更新了2个多月,更新了20+个版本,之前机器审核没判断出代码相似,那说明类似的代码是在我应用提交后才提交的,那有可能是后提交的应用的代码和我的应用相似,有盗版应用提交到苹果商店,但是你们没判断出来,还把我这个正版的给拒绝通过审核了。
游戏概念玩法相似方面,我游戏目前官方是平台的角色,游戏主要玩法内容是玩家创造的,目前市面上完全没有这样的一个slg玩法,让玩家去设计技能,再用玩家设计的技能进行游戏,如果你能说出一款有类似玩法的slg游戏,那么我将不再争论。如果没有的话,那么我的应用的玩法和其他应用就是不一样的,就没理由不允许我上架。而且由游戏玩法反推游戏代码,不同的玩法功能怎么可能是类似的代码做出来的?这逻辑上完全没有道理。希望您能慎重审核。
I noticed a discrepancy between the Material specifications for tvOS on the Developer page and the naming in the Design Resources (Sketch files). Which one should we consider authoritative?

In the illustration on this page related to "Prefer system-defined colors," Light is incorrectly translated as "细体". However, in the context of this article, translating it as "浅色" (light color) would be a more appropriate choice.

a Blockchain based slg game got 4.3 a, I think the reviewer should know some thing about blockchain.
您好,我已经重新提交了一个版本的应用,和之前版本已经不同了,目前游戏的所有代码都是我自己写的,第三方的所有代码都被我移除了,所以代码上重复了其他游戏的是完全不存在的。
至于游戏玩法上,新的自定义技能冲榜系统,玩家可以通过“抽卡-编辑阵容-连续挑战”的方式,在遇到瓶颈时自定义技能突破关卡,这个玩法绝对是开创性的,因为已知的所有slg游戏的技能都是官方设计决定的,但是在我设计的这个玩法上,理论上所有的技能都将由玩家设计出来,这差别之大,正如区块链开创了一种崭新的去中心化的时代,和原有中心化的模式是完全不同的,据我所知,目前市面上不存在任何一款去中心化的slg游戏。但是您,尊贵的审核人员居然认为这样一款开创性的游戏是和其他中心化游戏是一样的,类同的,我相信苹果作为全球最伟大的科技公司,官方工作人员都是很专业的,都是很有见识的,都是主张创新的,主张玩家能获得独特的高质量的体验,但是这个拒绝让我疑惑。

I am developing iOS App using SwiftUI and I notice that Myanmar font of number text on 18.4 have clipped on top and bottom. Does anyone have this issues and know the fix? I have provided the Screenshot also.
Hi!
I am having issues with my internal testing app now showing up the same through different users devices?
I'm seeing a build failure when archiving for TestFlight due to removing landscape support from the project. I see tons of apps that lock portrait in the app store. Is this a new requirement for apps compatible with both iPhone and iPad? What is the best approach if I am focused on portrait? Make the app iPhone only?

In my application, I am creating a simple NSMenu with NSMenuItems. The title of the NSMenuItems are adapted to the system language. So, when the system language is an RTL language (right to left), I want my NSMenuItem to be aligned at the right.
I can't see anyone talking about this, or any option that could make me achieve that easily.
NSMenuItem* item1;
NSMenuItem* item2;
item1 = [[NSMenuItem alloc] init];
item2 = [[NSMenuItem alloc] init];
item1.title = "foo";
item2.title = "bar";
item1.action = @selector(fooAction);
item2.action = @selector(barAction);
NSMenu *menu = [[NSMenu alloc] init];
[menu addItem:item1];
[menu addItem:item2];

Summary:
At WWDC24, a new transition was introduced by the Apple Design team (.contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace)))
I was writing a post about it on my LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-fila/), and out of curiosity I tried multiple symbols with slashes. Many of them were not well center aligned during a new symbol effect. Some of the examples are: "speaker.fill" : "speaker.slash.fill”, "eye.fill" : "eye.slash.fill”. Please check the attached Swift file for more details and full SwiftUI View with issues.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new IOS App project in XCode.
Create a new SwiftUI File.
Initiate state variable: @State private var isSpeakerOn = true.
Create a new image with transition:
Image(systemName: isSpeakerOn ? "speaker.fill" : "speaker.slash.fill")
.contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace)).
5. Create a switcher or set a timer with a constant variable to toggle isSpeakerOn value (see attachment file).
6. Toggle isSpeakerOn value.
7. Observe the issue (2 symbols are not well center aligned during transition).
Expected Results:
During transition .contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace)) 2 SF symbols ("speaker.fill" : "speaker.slash.fill”) are well center aligned.
Actual Results:
During transition (when slash slowly appears on top of SF symbol), the main symbol is moved a few points up, creating a decentralized effect and making the user experience feel inconsistent.
Notes:
There are 200 SF Symbols with .slash that might be affected. It happens on latest Xcode and macOS versions, and could be a top priority for the Apple Design Team.
import SwiftUI
struct BUG: View {
@State private var isSpeakerOn = true
let timer = Timer.publish(every: 1.5, on: .main, in: .common).autoconnect()
let columns = [
GridItem(.flexible(), spacing: 20),
GridItem(.flexible(), spacing: 20)
]
var body: some View {
LazyVGrid(columns: columns, spacing: 60) {
Text("❌").font(.system(size: 100))
Image(systemName: isSpeakerOn ? "speaker.fill" : "speaker.slash.fill")
.font(.system(size: 200))
.frame(width: 200, height: 100, alignment: .center)
.contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace))
.symbolRenderingMode(.palette)
.foregroundStyle(
Color.primary,
Color.accentColor)
.onReceive(timer) { _ in
withAnimation(.spring(response: 0.3, dampingFraction: 0.7)) {isSpeakerOn.toggle()}}
Text("✅").font(.system(size: 100))
Image(systemName: isSpeakerOn ? "bell.fill" : "bell.slash.fill")
.font(.system(size: 170))
.frame(width: 150, height: 150, alignment: .center)
.contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace))
.symbolRenderingMode(.palette)
.foregroundStyle(
Color.primary,
Color.accentColor)
.onReceive(timer) { _ in
withAnimation(.spring(response: 0.3, dampingFraction: 0.7)) {isSpeakerOn.toggle()}}
Text("❌").font(.system(size: 100))
Image(systemName: isSpeakerOn ? "eye.fill" : "eye.slash.fill")
.font(.system(size: 150))
.frame(width: 200, height: 100, alignment: .center)
.contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace))

.foregroundStyle(
Color.primary,
Color.accentColor)
.onReceive(timer) { _ in
withAnimation(.spring(response: 0.3, dampingFraction: 0.7)) {isSpeakerOn.toggle()}}
}
.padding(40)
}}

Hello everyone,
I am developing an app that focuses on self-reflection, journaling, and personal insights. Users can write their thoughts, receive guided suggestions, and engage in meaningful interactions.
Over time, I have refined the app to emphasize well-being and mindfulness. Initially, I categorized it under Lifestyle, then tried Entertainment, but I am unsure which category best fits its purpose.
I would appreciate any insights on choosing the right category or refining the app’s positioning to better align with platform guidelines. Has anyone faced a similar challenge?
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Thank you!
I've discovered a bug in the Phone app on iOS related to how long verdicts are displayed.
When a call is identified by a third-party Caller ID app, long verdicts display correctly during the call (they auto-scroll) and in the call log (with an ellipsis at the end). However, on the call details screen, the text is strangely truncated - showing only the beginning of the string and the last word.
For testing, I used this verdict: "Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I'm interested in practical strength that's going to help me run, jump, twist, punch."
I'll attach a screenshots demonstrating the problem:
We are currently developing a dating app. Considering that the number of users will be relatively small at the initial launch, we are thinking of offering subscription features for free, such as flight mode and read receipts. This means that our initial version will be a completely free product with no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
However, we are concerned that this might lead to rejection during the App Store review process. We would greatly appreciate any guidance from the Apple review team on whether this approach is acceptable. Thank you very much!
Hello! We can animate Text color via foregroundStyle very nicely in SwiftUI like so:
Text("Some text here")
.foregroundStyle(boolValue ? Color.green : Color.blue)
withAnimation {
boolValue.toggle()
}
However, if the foregroundStyle is a gradient, the color of the Text view changes immediately without animation.
The code below works to animate a gradient foregroundStyle on an SF Symbol, but it does not work when applied to a Text view. Is it possible to animate a Text view foregroundStyle between gradient values?
Image(systemName: "pencil.circle.fill")
.foregroundStyle(boolValue ? .linearGradient(colors: [.red, .orange], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom) : .linearGradient(colors: [.green, .blue], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom))
Thanks for your help!
Consider this code:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
EmptyView()
}
}
}
Which looks like this:
How can I prevent the sidebar from being resized by a mouse and from being hidden?
P.S. Can consider using AppKit if it can help.
How can I put one list item at the top and another one at the bottom, retaining the NavigationView functionality?
Here is a simple app:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Sidebar()
}
}
}
struct Sidebar: View {
@State private var isActive = true
var body: some View {
List {
NavigationLink(isActive: $isActive) {
HomeView()
} label: {
Text("Home")
}
NavigationLink {
SettingsView()
} label: {
Text("Settings")
}
}
}
}
struct HomeView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {}
.navigationTitle("Home")
}
}
struct SettingsView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {}
.navigationTitle("Settings")
}
}
Which looks like this:
My initial though was to put a Spacer() between each NavigationLink, but it results in an unexpected view:
What i can do:
Place an empty VStack between each NavigationLink with a hard-coded height like this:
VStack {}.frame(height: 275)
Which looks like this:
But it wouldn't work if a user would want to increase the height of a window.
I could disable window resizing which is kind of fine, but not the most optimal.
Another obvious option was to replace the List with a VStack, but with this approach the styling of the NavigationLink gets broken and it does not get highlighted when I click on it.
It looks like this:
P.S. I know that NavigationView is deprecated, but i want to support macOS 12.0.
Dear App Review team,
My app Goodie AI (Apple ID 6741483227) has been flagged as violating Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam.
I thought I would reach out to the team to explain that Goodie AI is an entirely original concept, and would seek guidance on if we misunderstood what specifically the problem with the submission is.
DESCRIPTION
Please suggest next steps? We've already appealed, and have resubmitted the app. Thanks!
