Hi, I'm getting started with designing and coding a watchOS app. I wanted to use Sketch to plan the UI before I dive into coding, but it seems like the official Sketch templates on the Design Resources page only have templates for the Series 8 and SE 2 on watchOS 10. I want to use the Series 10's screen size for my layouts since it's the model I have, but I can't find a template for it. Will the official templates be updated for the new models? If not, does anyone know of a third-party template I can use? Thanks in advance!

I recently got feedback for my app under Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality, and I’m a bit confused. Apple mentioned that the app isn’t “app-like” enough and doesn’t provide sufficient entertainment value or utility. However, I genuinely think my app is unique compared to others on the market. Most similar apps only offer basic features like scorekeeping and saving the game. My app goes beyond that by tracking detailed statistics based on the types of scores achieved during the game. At the end, there’s even a Player Ratings section, which enhances competition and makes the experience more fun for players. Additionally, in today’s gaming scene, many groups play the traditional 101 game with a reward and penalty system. My app uniquely incorporates a reward system, something no other app in the market currently offers. I believe my app has the potential to stand out and meet the needs of a wide audience. Has anyone faced similar feedback? Or does anyone have suggestions on how I could better address this issue? Thanks in advance! 😊

Helvetica (17.0d1e1) has bugs, hopefully the developers and designers will fix it. Link to the presentation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16qfpo9Y7Psghv5c_Xl3JBiTPkP4QNaaS/view?usp=sharing

I'm using a NavigationSplitView on macOS which needs to show 2 or 3 columns depending on the selection of the sidebar. Column 1 has a list of main activities. Some of these just have some data to show and some have a sublist. Currently, when an item that has no sublist is selected, I set the 2nd column (content:) to: Spacer() .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(0) This works, although it started hitting bugs requiring a workaround on macOS 26, which got me wondering, what is the correct approach here? NavigationSplitViewVisibility.doubleColumn is not the solution, as this hides column 1, not column 2.

Hi, Normally we need many shades of gray in any App and Apple system have only 3 , Primery, Secondary, and Gray, so to make Gray regress that automatically adapt to Dark Mode we just use opacity on these colors ? there's no system built in Gray degrees ? Kind Regards

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on my own Apple TV app. So far, things are going pretty well, but right now, I'm stuck on the design of the categories or selection menus. Here's a screenshot of how it looks right now: The green color and the border are intentionally added for now so I can see what is where. My actual goal is to remove the gray bar (or is this the "main bar"?). The pink bar and its border are just design elements that can be removed if needed. I want it to look more "original," like this: Here is the code: let title: String let isSelected: Bool var body: some View { HStack { Text(title) .foregroundColor(isSelected ? .black : .white) .font(.system(size: 22, weight: .regular)) .padding(.leading, 20) Spacer() Image(systemName: "chevron.right") .foregroundColor(isSelected ? .black : .gray) .padding(.trailing, 20) } .frame(height: 50) // Einheitliche Höhe für die Kategorien .background(Color.pink) // Innerer Hintergrund auf pink gesetzt .cornerRadius(10) // Abrundung direkt auf den Hintergrund anwenden .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10) .stroke(Color.green, lineWidth: 3) // Äußerer Rahmen auf grün gesetzt ) .padding(.horizontal, 0) // Entferne äußere Ränder .background(Color.clear) // Entferne alle anderen Hintergründe } } struct SettingsView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { SettingsView() } } I’ve adjusted the code, but it’s still not quite right. When a category is not selected, it appears black instead of gray, like in the original design Here is the code: struct SettingsView: View { @State private var selectedCategory: String? var body: some View { NavigationStack { ZStack { Color.black .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) VStack(spacing: 0) { // Überschrift oben in der Mitte Text("Einstellungen") .font(.system(size: 40, weight: .semibold)) .foregroundColor(.white) .padding(.top, 30) HStack { // Linke Seite mit Logo VStack { Spacer() Image(systemName: "applelogo") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 120, height: 120) .foregroundColor(.white) Spacer() } .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.4) // Rechte Seite mit Kategorien VStack(spacing: 15) { ForEach(categories, id: \.self) { category in NavigationLink( value: category, label: { SettingsCategoryView( title: category, isSelected: selectedCategory == category ) } ) .buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle()) } } .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.5) } } } .navigationDestination(for: String.self) { value in Text("\(value)-Ansicht") .font(.title) .foregroundColor(.white) .navigationTitle(value) } } } private var categories: [String] { ["Allgemein", "Benutzer:innen und Accounts", "Video und Audio", "Bildschirmschoner", "AirPlay und HomeKit", "Fernbedienungen und Geräte", "Apps", "Netzwerk", "System", "Entwickler"] } } struct SettingsCategoryView: View { let title: String let isSelected: Bool var body: some View { HStack { Text(title) .foregroundColor(.white) .font(.system(size: 22, weight: .medium)) .padding(.leading, 20) Spacer() Image(systemName: "chevron.right") .foregroundColor(.gray) .padding(.trailing, 20) } .frame(height: 50) // Einheitliche Höhe für die Kategorien .background(isSelected ? Color.gray.opacity(0.3) : Color.clear) // Hervorhebung des ausgewählten Elements .cornerRadius(8) // Abgerundete Ecken .scaleEffect(isSelected ? 1.05 : 1.0) // Fokus-Animation .animation(.easeInOut, value: isSelected) } } struct SettingsView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { SettingsView() } }

I'm developing an iPadOS 18+ application that uses a UITabBarController, styled as a sidebar, to serve as the primary navigation interface. This setup includes 20 different tabs, each representing a distinct section of the app. For the user experience, each tab needs to present a master-detail interface, implemented using a UISplitViewController. The goal is to allow users to navigate between tabs via the sidebar, and within each tab, access related content through the split view's list-detail pattern. The Problem: Currently, my implementation involves instantiating a separate UISplitViewController for each tab, resulting in 20 unique split view instances embedded inside the UITabBarController. While this works functionally, it leads to significant memory usage, especially after the user opens each tab at least once. The accumulation of all these instantiated view controllers in memory eventually causes performance degradation or even memory warnings/crashes on lower-end iPads. The Question: What is the best approach to implement this type of architecture without running into memory management issues? Specifically: Is there a way to reuse or lazily load the UISplitViewController instances only when needed? Can we unload or release split view controllers that haven't been used for a while to reduce memory pressure? Would a custom container controller be more appropriate than using UITabBarController in this case? Are there iPadOS 18+ best practices or newer APIs that support this kind of complex multi-tab, multi-split-view structure efficiently? Any advice on how to optimize memory usage while preserving the sidebar navigation and split view layout would be highly appreciated.

With iOS 26 the CPListSection header has a transparent background, and when the list scrolls under the header it doesn't look good at all. We expected to see a glass fading effect maybe, like the one on the top of the screen. Is it a known bug?

I like that you can choose to tint all your apps, it looks great, but when I’m tinted the myfitnesspal widgets are blank. Just a white square. Kinda frustrating that I have to choose between looks or function..

Context & Issue I am developing an iOS application. My app icon uses colors that are relatively close to each other. When the user enables Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Color Filters → Grayscale (or similar modes), the icon becomes harder to distinguish because it loses color and contrast is reduced. Goal When iOS switches to grayscale mode, I want the app icon to maintain good contrast between its elements so it remains clearly recognizable. What I’ve tried Redesigned the icon with more contrasting colors. Added strokes/outlines, but it still doesn’t look much better in grayscale. Researched how iOS renders app icons when grayscale is enabled, but couldn’t find a way to override or provide an alternative icon. Specific questions Is there any API or mechanism in iOS that allows providing a different version of the app icon when the user has grayscale mode enabled? If there’s no direct API, are there any best practices for designing iOS app icons to ensure good contrast when converted to grayscale? Do we have to design grayscale version for app icon? Thank you!

After debugging, it was found that IOS and MAC-OS can be used normally, but UNIVERSAL encountered an error UNIVERSAL' is not a valid value for the attribute 'platform'. Expected one of: 'IOS', 'MAC_OS'， I would like to know if this value has been deprecated or if the API interface requires new version support, and how to use this value!
