Hello, I want to make an app that displays the current event(s) (The ones that are ongoing at any given moment) on my Google calendar and shows how far through the event(s) I am with a progress bar, and updates live. I want it to be as simple as possible and don't want it to take up too much space. I have a little window with some text elements and a progress bar that works if you manually put in values. But I still think the window is too big and clunky and I wonder if it's possible to change it's style? I'm a bit inexperienced with coding and am completely new to xcode and swift. What approach would you recommend I take with this project? Or what resources would you refer me to?

I have two views I've applied Liquid Glass to in Swift UI. I've noticed that depending on the height of the view the material changes and I'm not sure why. See the attached screenshot. Both views add the liquidGlass style in the same way but behave very differently on the same background. Ideally I'd like them to look the same as the bottom one. Is that the same as the clear style?

With the new ios 26 beta 3 helps some stabillty and performance issues but most of the liquid glass has been removed or made very frosty look; and it defeats the whole purpose of a big redesign, and even thought the changes are because of readability and contrast complaints it should not take away liquid glass design. I think apple should consider adding a toggle or choice to choose if they would want a more frosted look or a more liquid glass look the the original plan.

I’m delighted with the introduction of new color folders. Although, I can’t help but wonder why we still need both color folders and tags. Aren’t the color folders sufficient for our needs?

Hello Apple Team, I’d like to request a feature that allows users to close all background apps at once on iPhones. Currently, closing each app individually can be time-consuming, especially when many are running. A “Close All” button would greatly improve user experience and efficiency. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Hi! I've detected that in iOS18 launch screen colors differs from the defined ones, that is, if I create a launch screen with a color like #ff0000 (red) and the initial view controller is a view controller with the same color as background, I can see the transition between launch screen and the initial view controller because the launch screen color is different from the other one (dark in this case). I've tested it with several colors: left side is the launch screen and right side is the initial view controller. Both views created with IB using the same colors (it also happens with background images using colors) Is this an intentionall behavior? If so, theres a way to disable it? I need the transition between the launch screen and my initial view controller to be non perceptible... Thanks!

Yesterday on Explore the biggest updates from WWDC Curt Clifton shared .background(.tint, in: .rect(corner: .containerConcentric)). XCode26 beta 3 don‘t recognize it. how when we can use it??

Hello everyone, I'm developing an app using RoomPlan where users can capture several rooms individually and assign custom names to each room. When I merge these captured rooms into a single CapturedStructure using the StructureBuilder, I want the merged structure to retain the original sections with their custom labels. However, I'm encountering an issue: Problem: After merging, the CapturedStructure's sections have different identifiers (UUIDs) compared to the original sections in the individual CapturedRooms. This means there's no straightforward way to map the custom labels from the original rooms to the sections in the merged structure. What I've Tried: Mapping by Identifiers: Attempted to map custom labels using the sections' identifiers, but the identifiers change during the merge, making this ineffective. Mapping by Positions: Tried matching sections based on their center positions (simd_float3), but these change. Modifying Section Labels: Considered changing the label property of the sections before merging, but the label is read-only and cannot be modified directly, and the CoreModel is used for merging rather than the data that can be modified via json. Question: Is there a recommended way to preserve or map custom section labels when merging multiple CapturedRooms into a single CapturedStructure using RoomPlan? How can I ensure that the custom labels assigned to rooms before the merge are correctly associated with the corresponding sections after the merge? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all — I wanted to share an idea I recently submitted through Feedback Assistant that I think could improve safety and usability for drivers using CarPlay: Add an option to overlay live weather radar (rain, snow, storms, etc.) directly onto CarPlay Maps while navigating. Similar to how traffic conditions are shown now, this would allow drivers to visually track incoming weather in real time without switching apps or relying on separate devices. Why this matters: • Enhances driver safety by increasing situational awareness • Helps with trip planning and route adjustments around severe weather • Reduces distractions by integrating everything into one screen • Useful for everyday drivers, long-haul travelers, and first responders I submitted this via Feedback Assistant, but I’d love to know what others think. If you also see value in this feature, consider submitting your own version via Feedback Assistant so Apple sees there’s interest. Let’s push for smarter, safer navigation — thanks for reading!

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

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. I've made a shape in the app which looks like the hello sign on apple products at startup. Is this considered plagiarism, or is it acceptable to use it in an app? P.s: i've used Path for it and drawed it with curves

Bonjour, Je me permet d'écrire un message car je rencontre un souci avec la vue canvas j'ai le message d'erreur suivant " CrashReportError: XCPreviewAgent crashed because Adjust.framework is missing" je ne sais pas trop comment identifié le problème j'utilise pod En vous remerciant par avance

So…I am hitting a wall here and could use some guidance towards best practice. I’ve developed an app in Xcode/SwiftUI that renders just fine on the iPhone - text, images, buttons, frames…everything is nicely centered on the screen or scrolls where and when I want. The iPad though…not so much. I’m having issues with tops and bottoms being cut off in scrollviews. These are just straight up text screens too - the ones with other elements/controls…they’re rendering fine. I’ve tried a mix of geometry, vstack, scrollview, padding, spacers…the lot of it. Nothing I seem to do works - the views do not want to fill and fit properly. And, of course, the issue becomes worse the moment you flip the iPad into landscape view. Or use the 13” models. I’d imagine others are battling these issues as well and found solutions, so I decided to hit up the brain trust.

Hello everyone, I’ve reached out to Apple’s review team multiple times, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any clear or specific guidance on why my app was rejected. My app has been rejected several times with the reason “Spam” under guideline 4.3, and I still don't understand exactly which part of the app is problematic. Even after providing the necessary information about the data, I resubmitted the app, and after a few days, it quickly moved into "In Review" status, but then was rejected within seconds with the same “Spam” message. I have sent over 13 messages asking for specific feedback, and all I get are vague responses saying “It’s spam, refer to 4.3, fix your app, and resubmit.” However, when I review the guidelines, I don’t see any specific reasons for rejection that apply to my app. I’m particularly confused because my app is a VPN, and when I check the guidelines, I see that apps in categories like dating and others are saturated, but VPN apps are not. My app uses completely dedicated servers, and the IP addresses are not found in any other apps. Still, my app keeps getting rejected. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any insight into what might be causing this, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide detailed guidance on what specifically needs to be changed to get the app approved. Thank you!

Is it possible to modify or mark elements in the room plan model generated by the framework?

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.

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?

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 come quite far with my first app and have various picker lists working well. However, I am stuck thinking through how to do this next picker. My data model has Golf Course name and Tee. For each golf course there are multiple Tees and not all the same across the Courses. Example of Data CourseA RedTee CourseA GreenTee CourseA BlueTee CouseB RedTee CourseB YellowTee CourseB WhiteTee I first give the client the ability to Pick a Course from a picker list. That works fine. Now I want to create a Picker list of Tees but only for that selected Course. So if the client selected CourseB they would be presented with these Tees to select from RedTee YellowTee WhiteTee How do I limit the second picker to only show the Tees for the selected Course? Then in an associated question, once i have the Course and the Tee, I want to Auto fill the rest of a form with Slope, Rating and Yardage. @Model class ScorecardData { var scorecardcourseName: String var scorecardTee: String var scorecardSlope: Double var scorecardRating: Double var scorecardYardage: Int Here is my code for the Course Picker List Picker("", selection: $selectedCourse) { Text("Select a Course").tag(" ") ForEach(courses, id: \.self) { course in Text(course.courseName) .tag(course.courseName) } } .onChange(of: selectedCourse) { if(selectedCourse != nil) { roundsdata.roundscourseName = selectedCourse! } } Here is my current Picker list but its pulling all Tees for all Courses Picker("", selection: $selectedTee) { Text("Select Tee").tag(" ") ForEach (tees, id: \.self) { tee in Text(tee.scorecardTee) .tag(tee.scorecardTee) } } .onChange(of: selectedTee) { if(selectedTee != nil) { roundsdata.roundsTee = selectedTee! } } My @State and @Query statements are as follows in case there is a change there that is needed as well, @State private var selectedTee: String? = "Select Tee" @Query(sort: \ScorecardData.scorecardcourseName) private var tees: [ScorecardData] @State private var selectedCourse: String? = "Select Course" @Query(sort: \CourseData.courseName) private var courses: [CourseData]
