I am an iOS app developer and I have a question regarding the implementation of an exit button in an iOS app. I remember reading in the past that Apple does not recommend this practice, but I couldn’t find any explicit policy on this matter in the current Human Interface Guidelines. Could you please clarify whether it is acceptable to implement an exit button in an iOS app according to the latest guidelines? Any references or official documentation would be greatly appreciated.

It’s been over a week now, almost two and I’ve been stuck on early access request for playground for some reason. What’s going on here?

Hi, I have a view that should do the following: Set up and confirm a passcode upon account creation. Verify passcode if signing in. Reset passcode if prompted. With the code below, functions 1 and 2 are working. However, I'm having an issue with function 3. I am able to declare the reset UserDefault on a previous view so that the proper logic occurs, which is to read in the input, and then confirm it. However, it is not working as intended. In this code here: else if reset { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode") UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "reset-passcode") passcode = "" } I store the new passcode, set reset to false, and clear the passcode so it can be entered again to confirm. The code does not run as intended however. The title does not change and I'm unsure if it is actually storing the passcode. And, when re-entering, it does not change the view as it should by setting view = .someView. I'm assuming there is just flaw in my logic but I'm not sure how to resolve this. Below is the full code. Please let me know if any further clarification is needed. struct EnterPasscode: View { @State var title = "" @State var passcode = "" @State var message = "" @State var buttonState = false @Binding var view: Views var body: some View { Group { Spacer() .frame(height: 50) Text(title) .font(.system(size: 36)) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .frame(height: 50) Spacer() if passcode != "" { Text("\(passcode)") .font(.system(size: 24)) .frame(height: 25) } else { Spacer() .frame(height: 25) } Spacer() .frame(height: 50) PasscodeKeypad(passcode: $passcode) Spacer() if message != "" { Text(message) .frame(height: 25) .foregroundStyle(Color.red) } else { Spacer() .frame(height: 25) } Spacer() WideButton(text: "Continue", buttonFunction: .functional, openView: .enterPasscode, view: .constant(.enterPasscode), buttonState: $buttonState) .onChange(of: buttonState) { oldState, newState in if buttonState { let passcodeSet = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-set") let storedPasscode = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "passcode") let reset = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-reset") let newPasscode = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "new-passcode") print(reset) if passcode.count == 4 { if storedPasscode == nil { if newPasscode == nil { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode") passcode = "" } else if passcode == newPasscode { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "passcode") UserDefaults.standard.set(true, forKey: "passcode-set") view = .someView } } else if reset { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode") UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "reset-passcode") passcode = "" } else if newPasscode != nil { if passcode == newPasscode { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "passcode") view = .someView } } } checkPasscodeStatus() buttonState = false } } Spacer() if !UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-reset") && UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-set") { Button(action: { view = .verifyPhone }) { Text("Forgot passcode?") .foregroundStyle(.black) } } Spacer() .frame(height: 25) } .onAppear() { checkPasscodeStatus() } .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 50) } func checkPasscodeStatus() { let passcodeSet = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-set") let storedPasscode = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "passcode") let reset = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-reset") if reset { title = "Enter new passcode" } else if passcodeSet { title = "Enter Passcode" } else if storedPasscode != nil && storedPasscode != "" { title = "Confirm Passcode" } else { title = "Select a 4 Digit Passcode" } } } struct WideButton: View { @State var text: String @State var buttonFunction: ButtonType @State var openView: Views? @Binding var view: Views @Binding var buttonState: Bool var body: some View { Button(action: { buttonPressed() }, label: { ZStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 5) .fill(Color.black) .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 50, height: 50) Text(text) .foregroundColor(.white) } }) } func buttonPressed() { switch buttonFunction { case .openView: view = openView! case .functional: buttonState = true } } } enum ButtonType { case openView case functional }

In the previous version it was possible in the setting to search directly for an app, and then go on the setting and for example disable the notifications. In iOS 18 you cannot do it anymore, you have to click on notification, and then search by scrolling the full list. It would be nice if you can add again the search feature for the apps in the settings.

The format of photos on the new iOS 18 and its updates is HORRIBLE. Not userfriendly, not easy to navigate, not even appealing to the eye. I can’t even see my favorites album anymore and have to search for it every time. In short, I hate it. Well done Apple

I have some difficulties to recreate the same SF Symbols I have configure in the app into my code. Is there a way to copy not just the name but everything including all modifier. Thank you

Hi Team, We have noticed a behavioral change in iOS 18 related to SCEP profile downloads from the browser. In current flow, we are using Cisco ISE as SCEP server. While testing in iOS 18, we have observed that before communicating to SCEP server iOS is asking to download the SCEP server certificate. This differs from iOS 17.4, where the communication happens seamlessly without any new prompts. Could you please confirm if this certificate download popup behavior is expected in iOS 18? Additionally, we would appreciate any guidance on whether this change in likely to persist in future updates, as it impacts our user flow. Please let us know where we can attach video recordings of previous and current processes. Thanks

I need my app to open all other links except domain.com. But clicking on domain.com still opens the app though I have added 'excluded': true. Below is my aasa file { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": "com.domain", "paths": ["NOT /"], "components": [ { "/": "/", "exclude": true }, { "/": "/biz/*" }, { "/": "/offers/deal-detail*", "?": { "oId": "*" } }, { "/": "/review/*" }, { "/": "/emailActionHandler*" } ] } ] } } I have also tried to verify this with swcutil tool, and it gives the right matches and blocks 'domain.com'. But the actual behavior on an iOS device is not the same.

Hello. Was wondering if anybody has come across code or tutorial on creating a dynamic wind compass. Already tied into weather api, struggling with UI

Ben waiting about four days is any reason why I stu in queue?

why are people having problems with the playground download when some people have full access to it What is the difference between us and other people who have it

this is a test post

Ii have been waiting a couple of days for access to image playground also. I wonder if having my VPN activated during my initial early access request right after I installed 18.2 somehow put me in some sort of loop that’s not allowing me to be granted access. Is there anyone that has been waiting that had their VPN on when they requested early access?

it's unfair how some people have full access to Image Playground and others have to wait for hours and days I don't understand why Apple doing stuff like this to the customer treated everyone equally

App Store

I can’t figure out how to make the iOS 18 photoshop template for app icons work. In the past, each variant of the icon size was an editable layer you could open up, change and save. In this one, only the large App Store icons are editable. So I thought maybe if I put my icon in the App Store layer, the smaller icons would automatically scale and fill in. But they don’t. When I checkmark the generate assets option, it generates all the icon files, but all of them are blank, except for the App Store one. I don’t really want the smaller icons to just automatically scale down anyway; I would rather have them be fine-tuned by hand so that they look good at all sizes. I used the sketch template in a free trial of sketch and it automatically scaled and generated all of the icon sizes, as expected. But I don’t own sketch; I use Photoshop and Illustrator for all of my work. I’ve always been able to use the template in the past; it’s only this year‘s iOS 18 version that isn’t working for me.

This update seems to have taken away customization features. So now I just have to have the same lock screen and home screen background? There’s no way to have 2 separate images anymore? Also I have my phone in darkmode so now I just have to deal with the ugly black thumbnails for the app? I can’t revert them to normal colors while keeping dark mode?

We present a viewController by embedding it into a UINavigationController and then presenting that navigation controller. let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: invCreateIssueViewController) self.present(navigationController, animated: true) The size of the presented view controller has reduced a lot in ipad in iOS 18. How do I get the same full screen presentation as iOS 17 in iOS 18?

My application suddenly started crashing on launch when I target "My Mac - designed for iPad." But only after the first build from scratch, which runs once. All subsequent runs crash with: dyld[90869]: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_AVPlayerView Referenced from: <D566512D-CAB4-3EA6-9B87-DBD15C6E71B3> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Debugger/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib Expected in: <4C34313C-03AD-32EB-8722-8A77C64AB959> /System/iOSSupport/System/Library/Frameworks/AVKit.framework/Versions/A/AVKit I don't use AVPlayerView anywhere in my application. A file-contents search of the entire source tree doesn't turn it up either. The application doesn't even get to the point of instantiating the app object, so none of my code is involved. If I switch the target to my iPhone, it will build and run repeatedly. If I then switch back to "My Mac," it will build and run once... and then crash every time. Further research shows that this only happens in Debug builds. This is a major issue right now because iOS 18 broke authentication certificates (thus HTTPS), so anyone writing or debugging an app that needs network functionality must use HTTP on localhost. In my case, I'm dead in the water because I can't debug on my local machine. Has anyone seen something like this before? I can find no reference to anything like it.

Last November 13 I came up with a phone keyboard layout (strategy) that can make key size bigger hence less mistyping. The typical phone keyboard looks like this: My proposed keyboard looks like this: Essentially, it's a split keyboard with the left-hand part stacked above/below the right-hand part. Key size/width/height and the vertical distance between the left-hand part and right-hand part may be adjustable to suit different phone widths and user hand sizes. You guys can show the proposed keyboard's image on your phone and fit this keyboard to your phone width so you can actually simulate typing on it to see how it feels. On my phone, the letter keys in it are a little too big for my thumbs to reach the farthest keys, but as I said, key size should be adjustable to suit different phone widths and user hand sizes.
