I’m developing a React Native application using AWS Cognito Hosted UI with Google Sign-In for authentication.My setup uses: React Native: 0.76.9 Library: react-native-app-auth version 8.0.3 Xcode Minimum Deployment Target: 13.4 The same implementation works perfectly on Android, but on iOS it behaves inconsistently. Here’s the issue: Login flow completes successfully. However, access tokens and ID tokens are often null or malformed on iOS. This results in 401 Invalid Token errors when calling backend APIs. I’ve also tried using react-native-inappbrowser-reborn, but the issue persists.I’m currently using both the client ID and reverse client ID correctly as callback URLs in Cognito’s configuration". So my questions are: "Is it better to continue using react-native-app-auth and @react-native-google-signin/google-signin with improved configuration for iOS? Or is there a more reliable approach/library for handling Cognito authentication and token management on iOS (especially for Hosted UI with Google Sign-In)? Looking forward to any suggestions or best practices from those who’ve implemented Cognito + Google Sign-In on iOS using React Native.If you’ve found a stable setup for managing tokens and callbacks on iOS, please share your approach". Thank you!

I'm experiencing an issue where my List selection (using EditButton) gets cleared when a confirmationDialog is presented, making it impossible to delete the selected items. Environment: Xcode 16.0.1 Swift 5 iOS 18 (targeting iOS 17+) Issue Description: When I select items in a List using EditButton and tap a delete button that shows a confirmationDialog, the selection is cleared as soon as the dialog appears. This prevents me from accessing the selected items to delete them. Code: State variables: @State var itemsSelection = Set<Item>() @State private var showDeleteConfirmation = false List with selection: List(currentItems, id: \.self, selection: $itemsSelection) { item in NavigationLink(value: item) { ItemListView(item: item) } } .navigationDestination(for: Item.self) { item in ItemViewDetail(item: item) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) { EditButton() } } Delete button with confirmation: Button { if itemsSelection.count > 1 { showDeleteConfirmation = true } else { deleteItemsSelected() } } label: { Image(systemName: "trash.fill") .font(.system(size: 12)) .foregroundStyle(Color.red) } .padding(8) .confirmationDialog( "Delete?", isPresented: $showDeleteConfirmation, titleVisibility: .visible ) { Button("Delete", role: .destructive) { deleteItemsSelected() } Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {} } message: { Text("Going to delete: \(itemsSelection.count) items?") } Expected Behavior: The selected items should remain selected when the confirmationDialog appears, allowing me to delete them after confirmation. Actual Behavior: As soon as showDeleteConfirmation becomes true and the dialog appears, itemsSelection becomes empty (count = 0), making it impossible to delete the selected items. What I've Tried: Moving the confirmationDialog to different view levels Checking if this is related to the NavigationLink interaction Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there a workaround to preserve the selection when showing a confirmation dialog?

Hello I'm trying to use a TabView inside of the Sidebar in a NavigationSplitView. I'm wanting to use .listStyle(.sidebar) in order to get the Liquid Glass effect. However I can not find a way to remove the background of the TabView without changing the behavior of the TabView itself to paging with .tabViewStyle(.page) NavigationSplitView { TabView( selection: .constant("List") ) { Tab(value: "List") { List { Text("List") } } } } detail: { } Note: I wanting change the background of the TabView container itself. Not the TabBar.

My game has been live since 2018 and I’ve been updating it recently to add some improvements because it’s been a few years (last update was 2020). I got hit with a couple of basic issues with the screenshots but I was told I can release that version anyway and fix it in a later update. I spent yesterday fixing those issues because they were minor, and resubmitted my app to review. This morning I was hit with another rejection for a new issue, 4.3(b) Design Spam. The reason being it’s a game in a saturated category (Beer Pong) and so I should reconsider the app concept. This game has been live for 7 years. In those 7 years the category may have become saturated, but it wasn’t when I originally released it, so stopping me from updating it feels extremely unfair. If this was a brand new app I would still be upset but I would understand. Another reason was that it’s based on a drinking game, and that it encourages people to drink alcohol. I stated in the age rating section that it heavily contains alcohol references, although you never actually see anyone drinking. There are Beer Pong games that feature characters drinking the beer, mine is so inextreme in comparison. What bugs me the most is if I hadn’t fixed the screenshots it would be live by now, yet I feel I’m being punished for following the rules. Can anyone on here give me some advice on how to proceed? I have to say this entire dilemma has really taken the wind out of my sails. If this update doesn't get accepted I'll have wasted about two months of development time I could've spent on a different project.

Hi there! I'm having this issue with my main windows. I'm having a big space on top of that without any logic explanation (at least for my poor knowledge).

I’m developing an app that includes a navigation bar with a centered title and a single right bar button item. I’ve noticed that when both the navigation bar title and the right bar button item’s title are relatively long, the navigation bar title becomes hidden. This issue only occurs on iOS 26. When running the same code on iOS 18, the layout behaves as expected, with both elements visible. Has anyone else experienced this behavior on iOS 26? Is this a known layout change or a possible bug?

Can you confirm that if you launch an app in the U.S. (in the iOS store) that is you cannot select a specific state (i.e. Rhode Island, North Carolina etc.) to roll out your app? In other words when you launch your app in the U.S. it has to be for the entire country right? Can someone please confirm that this is the case and has always been the case in any app store (i.e. Google Play and IOS)? Thanks. - Erik

I would like to propose a design enhancement for future iPhone models: using the existing bottom-right antenna line (next to the power button area) as a capacitive “volume control zone” that supports swipe gestures. Today this line is a structural antenna break, but it is also located exactly where the thumb naturally rests when holding the phone in one hand. With a small embedded capacitive/force sensor, the user could slide their finger along this zone to control volume without reaching for the physical buttons. Why this makes sense: • Perfect ergonomic thumb position in both portrait and landscape • One-handed volume adjustment becomes easier for large-screen devices • Silent and frictionless vs. clicking buttons (useful in meetings / night mode) • Consistent with Apple’s recent move toward contextual hardware input (Action Button, Capture Button, Vision Pro gestures) The interaction model would be: • Swipe up → increase volume • Swipe down → decrease volume • (Optional) long-press haptic = mute toggle This could also enhance accessibility, especially for users with reduced hand mobility who struggle to press mechanical buttons on tall devices. Technically, this would be similar to the Capture Button (capacitive + pressure layers), but linear instead of pressure-based. It does not replace physical buttons, it complements them as a silent gesture-based alternative. Thank you for considering this as a future interaction refinement for iPhone hardware design.

Any idea how to achieve this? I've tried: ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .principal) and ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) also tried with a VStack but it does not work.

Hi, Since last week, I’ve been trying to publish the new version of my Voxel game, which aims to fix many bugs and significantly optimize the game. This update is very important for improving the overall quality of the game. Unfortunately, this version is not being accepted on the App Store due to a Design - Copycats issue related to guideline 4.1. I’ve tried everything to resolve the problem by changing the screenshots, app preview, description, game name, icons, and even all metadata that could cause issues in the build. But nothing seems to work. I keep receiving the same rejection just a few minutes after submitting my build for review. Here is the full warning message: —————— “Guideline 4.1 - Design - Copycats This app or its metadata appears to be misrepresenting itself as another popular app or game already available on the App Store, from a developer's website or distribution source, or from a third-party platform. Apps should be unique and should not attempt to deceive users into thinking they are downloading something they are not.” Next Steps Learn more about requirements to prevent apps from impersonating other apps or services in guideline 4.1. Revise the app to comply with these requirements. Once the app is fully compliant, resubmit the app for review. —————— Also I've already tried contaction the Apple Developer team but I got no answer. I don't know what to do. Thanks

When the app kills the process. Received APNs push message. Push messages carry voice related information. At the same time as receiving the push, obtain the voice playback of this voice message. How to achieve it?

After I updated my ios to ios26.1 Icons are bigger in homepage and alarm is alarming literally since it is way much bigger it occupies the whole screen of my phone. Also, accessibility menu like lock screen, home, screenshot needs to double tap before it functions properly. Its annoying

I have a couple of (older) UIKit-based Apps using UISplitViewController on the iPad to have a two-column layout. I'm trying to edit the App so it will shows the left column as sidebar with liquid glass effect, similar to the one in the "Settings" App of iPadOS 26. But this seems to be almost impossible to do right now. "out of the box" the UISplitViewController already shows the left column somehow like a sidebar, with some margins to the sides, but missing the glass effect and with very little contrast to the background. If the left column contains a UITableViewController, I can try to get the glass effect this way within the UITableViewController: tableView.backgroundColor = .clear tableView.backgroundView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIGlassContainerEffect()) It is necessary to set the backgroundColor of the table view to the clear color because otherwise the default background color would completely cover the glass effect and so it's no longer visible. It is also necessary to set the background of all UITableViewCells to clear. If the window is in the foreground, this will now look very similar to the sidebar of the Settings App. However if the window is in the back, the sidebar is now much darker than the one of the Settings App. Not that nice looking, but for now acceptable. However whenever I navigate to another view controller in the side bar, all the clear backgrounds destroy the great look, because the transition to the new child controller overlaps with the old parent controller and you see both at the same time (because of the clear backgrounds). What is the best way to solve these issues and get a sidebar looking like the one of the Settings App under all conditions?

I am currently struggling with resolving what appear to be competing design issues, and (while I may be just demonstrating my own ignorance) I would like to share my thoughts in the hope that you may have useful insights. For purposes of discussion, consider a large and complex data entry screen with multiple sections for input. For all of the usual reasons (such as reuse, performance management, etc) each of these sections is implemented as its own, separately-compiled View. The screen is, then, composed of a sequence of reusable components. However, each of these components has internal structure and may contain multiple focusable elements (and internal use of .onKeyPress(.tab) {...} to navigate internally). And the logic of each component is such that it has an internal @FocusState variable defined with its own unique type. So, obviously what I want is on the one hand, to provide a tab-based navigation scheme for the screen as a whole, where focus moves smoothly from one component's internals to the next component, and on the other hand ,to build components that don't know anything about each other and have no cross-component dependencies, so that they can be freely reused in different situations. And that's where I'm stuck. Since focus state variables for different components can have different types, a single over-arching FocusState passed (as a binding) to each component doesn't seem possible or workable. But I don't know how else to approach this issue. (Note: in UIKit, I've done things like this by direct manipulation of the Responder Chain, but I don't see how to apply this type of thinking to SwiftUI.) Thoughts?

I was looking at the new iOS 26 Mail app and it has these tab/filters of some sort and I was wondering if there is a default API/code in swiftui that I am supposed to be using. Looked everywhere for this, thank you!!

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?

I’m not seeing Liquid Glass on any standard components. A month ago around July 17th I ran our app and saw Liquid Glass on our tab view and various standard components. Those components have not been changed and yet I’m no longer seeing Liquid Glass in our app at all. Components that were previously liquid glass but now are not include TabView and back navigation buttons. I set the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility key explicitly to false but no luck. I was seeing this in Beta 7 and Beta 8 on a real device and on a sim.

Dear Apple Developer Relations Team, We are currently reviewing the documentation for the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility Info.plist key. In the documentation, there is a warning that states: "Temporarily use this key while reviewing and refining your app’s UI for the design in the latest SDKs." However, in the adoption guide for Liquid Glass: Adopting Liquid Glass, we did not see any explicit requirement to force adoption of the Liquid Glass design. We have the Gojek app, which currently uses the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility key. To ensure long-term stability, we would like clarification on the following points: Future Support of the Key: Is it safe to continue using the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility key? Can you confirm whether this key will remain supported or if there are plans for it to be deprecated/removed in future iOS versions? Liquid Glass Adoption: Our app’s design guidelines do not align with the Liquid Glass style. Can you confirm that adoption of Liquid Glass is not mandatory, and that apps can continue to use their existing custom design guidelines without any restrictions? Compatibility with iOS 26: Are there any required changes we need to make to our existing views to ensure that the UI will continue to render as it does today on iOS 26 and beyond? We want to make sure we provide the best user experience while remaining compliant with Apple’s guidelines. Your clarification would help us plan our design and development roadmap accordingly. Thank you for your support and guidance.

Hey everyone, I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉 It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand. And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller. Think about it: pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors... Why aren't we using this for gaming? And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games. So, I did something about it. I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄 In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation! [Join the Discord here!] https://discord.gg/5Rm8WKbekf Can't wait to share more soon!

Hi, in the Human Interface Guidelines, Apple writes: Avoid using a segmented control in a toolbar. Toolbar items act on the current screen — they don’t let people switch contexts like segmented controls do. Along with this image: Source I'm confused by this example. The screenshot seems to be showing a segmented control in a toolbar. Is this saying that the Phone app's All/Missed toggle is different from a segmented control? Under iOS 26 it seems to take a different style compared to a regular segmented control. If so, which component is used to create this filter? Could you please clarify the guidelines? Thank you.
