Hello,
Im new to Xcode, ive been taking some classes and watching YouTube videos as well as using AI. Im having an issue I cannot find a video on, and AI just keeps screwing up my layout and sizing.
Here is the issue, I have a Custom Made Image for my Sign In button, for my log in page on Xcode. The issue being that I can barely see the button and when I go to adjust the size the whole layout gets screwed up. My Logo Image (supposed to take up the top 50% of the screen) takes over the whole Botton of the screen and I loose my username and password Text threads and images. I guess my question is, is this an issue with the size of image ive uploaded or is this an issue with my code? I changed the size of the Image I created in Canva to 900pixles for the width and 300pixals for the height and that did absolutely nothing to my image in Xcode.
Below is the Button and Create Account section in my code that seems to be having issues. Ppppplease help me.

I am creating a shooting game which uses Game Center for multiplayer and I want to make the Matchmaker view look different. How can I do that?
When I create a tab group for the sidebar on iPad, the title and disclosure triangle act like a single control. Every time I tap the section title, the disclosure triangle for that section activates and hides or exposes that section's children and actions.
I want the section title to behave like Photos, where tapping a section title just displays its view controller, and the disclosure triangle is a separate control that must be tapped to hide and show children and actions.
I did not see any delegate methods that would let me control this behavior. Is this supported?
Looking at the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility documentation, watchOS is not listed among the supported platforms. When added to the project, it is also being ignored, resulting in Liquid Glass design. It is possible to opt-out from Liquid Glass design temporarily. Is that just an oversight for Apple Watch please?
hi, i have an objc ipad application that use xib with zooming for adapt to the screen (until ios18) but with ipad os 26 will be displayed wrong
I downloaded iOS 26 beta 3. I was very happy with how it turned out, but when I activated Siri, I noticed the rainbow pulsing glow that bordered the phone was missing, and all that was left was the original Siri bubble. I was very disappointed, does anyone know how to get this back? I loved that design feature.
i accidentally updated my iphone with the ios 18 and i dislike it. the emoji display were too huge and the picture gallery was kinda messy. i hope apple could fix this by bringing back the old emoji display and the gallery settings.
My newly released App Snapshot-Chess-Move, #1592848671, is not creating a public database of chess moves as I expect. What steps do I need to do inorder for my App to be using a public database. It appears as if each of my iOS devices, iPhone, iPad and Mac mini each have a private database of chess moves. When I change my data on the iPad, I expect the new data to appear (with slight delays) on the Mac.. I do not know what to do next. Please help me. This was working in Development mode but not in Production when I submitted my App for release.
UPDATE:
The cloud data is copied locally to a @Quary variable and updated by using .insert, .delete and .save commands. So, I deleted and re-downloaded my apps on each device, iPad, iPhone, and Mac and obtained the same cloud data. So how do users get the most recent copy of the cloud. Do they need to delete their App and start over? Is there a .update command that can do this updating for me? Also, I pushed the App out of the background and restarted the App to obtain the updated cloud data.
When I first tried to create a custom SF Symbol using Affinity Designer, I encountered difficulties because of two problems which have cumulated:
SVG files created by Affinity Designer cannot be directly imported into the SF Symbols app because Affinity Designer totally recreates the content of tag <g id="Notes">, making so the file incompatible for later import into the SF Symbols app. So I had to manually fix that tag via a text editor in order to make the file compatible with the SF Symbols app.
Because I was so focused on fixing manually the SVG file, I did not see that the actual content of my SVG file did not follow all Apple recommendations. As a consequence, I have posted this question on the forum:
Struggling creating a custom SF Symbol: The provided variants are not interpolatable
Finally I have found a way to create an SVG file compatible with SF Symbols using Affinity Designer, meeting the Apple recommendations, and at last perfectly suitable for further use in Xcode.
You will find the solution in my reply to this post below which is actually a quasi copy/paste of my final own reply to my original post.

Hi there
I have developed an offline algorithm for calculating tides, which works based on the built-in database of tidal stations in some regions. The algorithm works correctly and the results match the real data.
I would like to receive and add moon data from Weather Kit to the algorithm for performance improvement experiments. What requirements do I need to apply to the application so that I can use data from Weather Kit in my algorithm ?
Is it possible to modify or mark elements in the room plan model generated by the framework?
I'm trying to use URL structure in the foundation framework and it is failing to build, returning a nil value. Could it be trying to evaluate the string I am giving it as a variable for its argument at build time? Is there a test argument I can give URL to see if it can return a non-nil value? (of URL type)?
I would like to modify the content of a published LocationNode upon been clicked by the user. But unfortunately:
func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, options: [SCNHitTestOption : Any]? = nil) -> [SCNHitTestResult]
returns an SCNNode array from which it is impossible to retrieve the original LocationNode being inserted in order to be able to modify it.
Of course the solution would be to either insert the SCNNode corresponding to the inserted LocationNode in a custom class or conversely insert the identifier of the custom object as a tag of the LocationNode, in order to solve the issue. But both options seem impossible to implement.
May anyone help me?
Is there any way to lock the clock in Standby so it doesn't change? It is so frustrating when I put the phone on the charger and have to scroll back and forth, trying to find the clock I would like to use all the time.
Hello,
You are developing iOS 26. I hope you will fix the issue where the AṀ/PM is missing from the Time Display.
Thanks
Below is the sample css code where I render a web page in my webview screens fonts became too small after 18.4 and its so hard to read when I launch my app . Any workarounds to address this issue
.sg-labels-canvas {
font-size: 15px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Helvetica Neue', Roboto, sans-serif;
font-style: normal;
}
I created a data structure based on a dictionary of words. The purpose is to link each word to all other words made up of the same letters plus one.
Example: table -> ablate, cablet, tabled, gablet, albeit, albite, etc.
For this I built a data model made of three entities: Word, Draw, Link.
A Draw is a set of letters corresponding to a Word and sorted in alphabetic order, like : HOUSE -> EHOSU. A Link is a letter that you add to a Draw to get another Draw.
So my data model looks like this:
And here is how I implemented it in Xcode:
Entity Word
(let's forget the attribute optComp that plays no role here)
Entity Draw
Entity Link
I am populating the data in two steps:
first I read a list of words from a .txt source and I populate the Word entity and at the same time the Draw entity with the corresponding relationship (function loadDic())
This first step apparently works fine. I can easily find all anagrams of any word with something like word.sort.word.spelling
I read through the Draw entity. For each draw I seek all existing +1 draws considering each letter of the alphabet. If there are, I create a Link and add the relationships (function createLinks())
Here is where something goes wrong. If the Link's and the relationship Draw.plus seem to be correctly created, the other relationship Link.gives is only partially populated, say 50%.
Moreover, I tried to apply an additional routine (updateLinks()) , focusing only on Link's with an empty Link.gives relationship and updating them. But again, only 50% of the nil relationships appear to be populated.
I could not find out why those relationships are not properly populated. If someone can help me out I would be grateful.
Here is the code:
LoadDic() function (OK) :
func loadDic() {
print("Loading dictionary...")
dataAlreadyLoaded.toggle()
guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: INPUT_FILE, withExtension: "txt") else {
fatalError("\(INPUT_FILE).txt not found")
}
if let dico = try? String(contentsOf: url, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8 ) {
let lines = dico.split(separator: "\r\n")
for line in lines {
let lineArray = line.split(separator: " ")
print("\(lineArray[0])") // word
let wordSorted = String(lineArray[0].sorted())
let draw = getDraw(drawLetters: wordSorted) ?? addDraw(drawLetters: wordSorted) // look if draw already exists, otherwise create new one.
let wordItem = Word(context: viewContext) // create word entry with to-one-relationship to draw
wordItem.spelling = String(lineArray[0])
wordItem.optComp = (Int(String(lineArray[1])) == 1)
wordItem.sort = draw
do {
try viewContext.save()
} catch {
print("Errort saving ods9: \(error)")
}
}
}
print("Ods Chargé")
}
func addDraw(drawLetters: String) -> Draw {
let newDraw = Draw(context: viewContext)
newDraw.draw = drawLetters
return(newDraw)
}
func getDraw(drawLetters: String) -> Draw? {
let request: NSFetchRequest<Draw> = Draw.fetchRequest()
request.entity = Draw.entity()
request.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "draw == %@", drawLetters)
do {
let drw = try viewContext.fetch(request)
return drw.isEmpty ? nil : drw[0]
} catch {
print("Erreur recherche Tirage")
return nil
}
}
createLinks() function (NOK):
func createLinks() {
var erreur = " fetch request <Draw>"
let request: NSFetchRequest<Draw> = Draw.fetchRequest()
request.entity = Draw.entity()
request.predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
print("Building relationships...")
do {
let draws = try viewContext.fetch(request)
count = draws.count
for draw in draws {
print("\(count) - \(draw.draw!)")
linkTable.removeAll()
for letter in ALPHABET {
print(letter)
let drawLettersPlus = String((draw.draw! + String(letter)).sorted()) // draw with one more letter
if let drawPlus = draws.first(where: { $0.draw == drawLettersPlus }) { // look for Draw entity that matches augmented draw
let linkItem = Link(context: viewContext) // if found, create new link based on letter with relationship to augmented draw
linkItem.letter = String(letter)
linkItem.gives = drawPlus
erreur = " saving \(draw.draw!) + \(letter)"
try viewContext.save()
linkTable.append(linkItem) // saves link to populate the one-to-many relationship of the initial draw, once the alphabet is through
}
}
let drawUpdate = draw as NSManagedObject // populate the one-to-many relationship of the initial draw
let linkSet = Set(linkTable) as NSSet
drawUpdate.setValue(linkSet, forKey: "plus")
erreur = " saving \(draw.draw!) links plus"
try viewContext.save()
count -= 1 // next draw
}
} catch {
print("Error " + erreur)
}
print("Graph completed")
}
updateLinks function (NOK):
func updateLinks() {
var erreur = "fetch request <Link>"
let request: NSFetchRequest<Link> = Link.fetchRequest()
request.entity = Link.entity()
print("Running patch...")
do {
request.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "gives == nil")
let links = try viewContext.fetch(request)
for link in links {
let baseDraw = link.back!.draw!
print("\(baseDraw) \(link.letter!)")
let augmDrawLetters = String((baseDraw + link.letter!).sorted())
if let augmDraw = getDraw(drawLetters: augmDrawLetters) {
viewContext.perform {
let updateLink = link as NSManagedObject
updateLink.setValue(augmDraw, forKey: "gives")
erreur = " saving \(augmDraw.draw!) \(link.letter!)"
do {
try viewContext.save()
} catch {
print("Erreur mise à jour lien")
}
}
}
}
} catch {
print("Error " + erreur)
}
}
RESULT
And this is the output showing the content of the Draw entity with relationships after createLinks() is applied:
And here after updateLinks() is applied :
Hi everyone 👋
I’ve been using the Apple Pencil Pro with my iPad Pro M4 and absolutely love it — the squeeze gesture, rotation, and haptics are amazing for creative work. But I’ve run into a little roadblock…
Right now, only one Pencil Pro can be paired at a time. So while one is charging, you can’t use another as a backup without unpairing and re-pairing, which interrupts the workflow.
I’d really love to see one of two things:
The ability to use one Pencil while another charges
or
An official external charger (or support for third-party ones)
Personally, I’d happily buy both a second Pencil and a charger if this became possible. I’ve even chatted with other creatives who feel the same — it would make a huge difference for long projects or working on the go.
Just wanted to share this idea and see if anyone else here would like this too. Thanks for reading!
