When using a double-tap primary action on a button, there will be a 1 second delay before the action is executed after the double-click is detected. Why is the design not like scrollview, which executes actions after double-tap detection? Is there a way to make the button perform an action after detecting a double-tap?

Where is the Figma App Icon Template mentioned in the Developer session https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/361?
We are working on one of the projects for Hackathon for which we need to access the 3D Models of Apple Watch, it will help in making our project more realistic and effective, I wanted to know if we can get access for the same.
I am struggling with exactly how to set up SwiftData relationships, beyond the single relationship model...
Let's say I have a school. Each school offers a set of classes. Each class is taught by one teacher and attended by several students. Teachers may teach more than one class, but only at one school. Similarly students may attend more than one class, but only at one school. Classes themselves may be offered at more than one school.
Can someone create a class for School, SchoolClass, Teacher, and Student with id, name, and relationships... I have tried it unsuccessfully about 10 different ways at this point.
My most recent is below... I am struggling getting beyond a school listing in the app, and I'll cross that bridge next. I am just wondering if all the trouble I am having is because I am not smart with the class definitions. And wondering if this is to complex for SwiftData and CoreData is the requirement.
This is not a real app, just my way of really trying to get a handle on Swift Data models and Navigation.
I am very new to Swift, and will take any and all suggestions with enthusiasm! Thanks for taking the time.
import Foundation
import SwiftData
@Model
class School: Identifiable {
var id: UUID = UUID()
var name: String
var mascot: String
var teachers: [Teacher]
var schoolClasses: [SchoolClass]
init (name: String, mascot: String = "", teachers: [Teacher] = [], schoolClasses: [SchoolClass] = []) {
self.name = name
self.mascot = mascot
self.teachers = teachers
}
class SchoolClass: Identifiable {
var id: UUID = UUID()
var name: String
var teacher: Teacher?
var students: [Student] = []
init (name: String, teacher: Teacher? = nil, students: [Student] = []) {
self.name = name
self.teacher = teacher
self.students = students
}
}
class Teacher: Identifiable {
var id: UUID = UUID()
var name: String
var tenured: Bool
var school: School?
var students: [Student] = []
init (name: String, tenured: Bool = false, students: [Student] = []) {
self.name = name
self.tenured = tenured
self.students = students
}
}
class Student: Identifiable {
var id: UUID = UUID()
var name: String
var grade: Int?
var teacher: Teacher?
init (name: String, grade: Int? = nil, teacher: Teacher? = nil) {
self.name = name
self.grade = grade
self.teacher = teacher
}
}
}
I am experiencing strange crashes in my (ObjC) code, that insinuate some memory corruption (mostly running SHA256 decryption for file data
in my code there's a
// return object that was stored in encrypted file
- (id) objectFromEncryptedFile:(NSString *)filePath
{
// read MYCrypto object that includes encrypted object of any class
MYCrypto *encData = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:filePath];
// decrypt, unarchive and return
return [encData objectFromEncryptedData:encData.data];
}
That seems to be called from different queues that are not synchronized.
It came to me that maybe NSKeyedUnarchiver is not "thread safe" and maybe unarchiveObjectWithFile is not reentrant?
Couldn't find anything in the normal documentation, but most of the old docs are no longer searchable.
Can someone shed light on this?
While doing production release of app, I was not able to see phase release option like in my previous releases. Due To whihc when I released. the app , it got released to 100% users. I want to know why phase release option was not showing up in my dashboard
I have an iPhone/iPad application for which there is no watchOS target and as such no separate Watch app. I do not have separate watchOS app icons included as well in Assets. However, an Apple Watch is supposed to receive push notifications for the application.
Do we as app developers need to provide watchOS app icons, with different resolutions as suggested by Apple in HIG, in app's Assets for the app logo to appear properly in the notification coming in watch, for both short look and long look? As of now, my app's icon appear pixelated in short look and I am not sure whether it is an app icon issue or because I did not include watchOS app icons in Assets.
Hi,
App Image: What is the best format - jpg, tiff, giff, psd or ai?
What is the maximum and minimum number of items the app can contain?
Please advise.
Thanks
I've noticed that the App Store app tends to make the selected tab indicator darker on light mode and lighter on dark mode.
Is there any easy way to ensure better legibility out of the box with Tab View (SwiftUI) when using the tint modifier with custom colors?
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?

Hi,After I tried to submit my APP for review several times, it was still rejected for the following reasons: Guideline 4.1-Design-Copycats: The app or its metadata appears to contain potentially misleading content. Specifically, the app includes content that resembles ODIKING without the necessary authorization.
But odiking belongs to our company's product, I don't know the problem, I don't understand how to prove that this product does not belong to a third party content

Dear Developer, Is there a way to create a function to search with inside a text without having to be outside all of the messages? In other words, could I go into one of my contact’s texts and then search specifically inside that message as can be done on Android? This would be such an amazing function And make life so much easier. Thank you.
Hello, I am an app developer from China. We are developing a mobile game that will be released on iOS and Android platforms (as well as some PC and Mac platforms). The game is a commercial app.
My question is: we would like to use the "PingFang" Chinese font in our game software. Do we need to obtain a license, and how should we go about obtaining it? (For example, through which channels should we apply for the license, and what are the associated fees?)
App design: macos, Xcode 16.4, Sequioa 15.5, it is sandboxed
Uses: Pods->HotKey for a global hotkey which xcode says "binary compatibility can't be guaranteed"
This app is on the Apple Store and supposedly apps on the Apple Store can't use global hotkeys. Someone internally, installed it from the store and the global hotkey works just fine.
I'm concerned for two potential problems;
I need to find a hotkey library or code that is known to work with a sandbox'd Apple Store app.
Why is it working now when everything I have read says it shouldn't.
The new photos update is just messy, there was no reason to make changes to it, I also noticed it makes the videos lower quality for some reason. Also I sont understand why emojis were made bigger, looks very tacky now. I wish my phone never automatically updated to this..
I have accidentally missed the sign up window for the UX Writing lab by 1 hour, but I'd still love to join it if at all possible. I have had this lab several times in the past and it was always very informative.
I have a time tracking app that helps people make the most of their time. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timelines-time-tracking/id1112433234
I'm looking for guidance on how to improve copywriting in my onboarding sequence, on my paywall, and overall throughout the app.
Thank you for considering. My Apple ID is lukas[at]glimsoft.com.
Hello everyone,
I'm very impressed with the Liquid Glass design introduced in iOS 26, especially how native app icons automatically adapt to the system's display mode (dark or light).
This brings me to a question: Is it possible to make a website shortcut icon created via Safari's "Add to Home Screen" feature adapt to Dark Mode in the same way?
For native apps, we can use tools like Icon Composer and asset catalogs (Assets.xcassets) to provide different icons for each mode. It would be a huge improvement for web clips if we could achieve the same with existing web technologies like apple-touch-icon or the Web App Manifest.
If anyone has figured out a way to do this, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your knowledge.
Thanks in advance!
日本語の原文:
iOS 26から導入されたLiquid Glassデザインについて。
ネイティブアプリのアイコンがシステムの表示モード(ダークモード/ライトモード)に合わせて自動で最適化されるようになりました。
そこで疑問に思ったのですが、Safariから「ホーム画面に追加」機能を使って作成するWebサイトのショートカットアイコンは、ネイティブアプリと同じようにダークモードに対応できないのでしょうか?
ネイティブアプリの場合は、Icon Composerなどのツールでアセットカタログ(Assets.xcassets)を使い、モードごとのアイコンを用意できますよね。
Web側でも、apple-touch-iconやWeb App Manifestといった既存の仕組みを使って、アイコンを動的に切り替えられるようになると、Webクリップの使い勝手がさらに向上すると思うのですが
もし、すでに何らかの方法で対応されている方がいらっしゃれば、ぜひその知見を共有していただけると嬉しいです。
As the title indicates the problem, the large title is shown but the small title in Navitation Bar view is not shown when scrolled up with iOS26 beta7.
It works with iOS18 or earlier.
Is this iOS26 bug?
I'm trying to download version 2.1 of SF symbols even though version 6 is out because I have a older macOS but I can't find it. So, how would I work around this?
