Hello! We can animate Text color via foregroundStyle very nicely in SwiftUI like so: Text("Some text here") .foregroundStyle(boolValue ? Color.green : Color.blue) withAnimation { boolValue.toggle() } However, if the foregroundStyle is a gradient, the color of the Text view changes immediately without animation. The code below works to animate a gradient foregroundStyle on an SF Symbol, but it does not work when applied to a Text view. Is it possible to animate a Text view foregroundStyle between gradient values? Image(systemName: "pencil.circle.fill") .foregroundStyle(boolValue ? .linearGradient(colors: [.red, .orange], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom) : .linearGradient(colors: [.green, .blue], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)) Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone, I am developing an app that focuses on self-reflection, journaling, and personal insights. Users can write their thoughts, receive guided suggestions, and engage in meaningful interactions. Over time, I have refined the app to emphasize well-being and mindfulness. Initially, I categorized it under Lifestyle, then tried Entertainment, but I am unsure which category best fits its purpose. I would appreciate any insights on choosing the right category or refining the app’s positioning to better align with platform guidelines. Has anyone faced a similar challenge? Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you!

I'm seeing a build failure when archiving for TestFlight due to removing landscape support from the project. I see tons of apps that lock portrait in the app store. Is this a new requirement for apps compatible with both iPhone and iPad? What is the best approach if I am focused on portrait? Make the app iPhone only?

Hello, Appeal Ticket: APL149985 Thank you for your patience as we considered your appeal. The App Review Board determined that the original rejection feedback was valid. Your app does not comply with: 4.3(a) - Design During our review, we found that this app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam and not appropriate for the App Store. Apps submitted to the App Store should be unique and should not duplicate other apps. We encourage you to create a unique app to submit to the App Store. For more information about developing apps for the App Store, visit the Develop section of the Apple Developer website. We appreciate your efforts to resolve this issue and look forward to reviewing your revised submission.

I noticed a discrepancy between the Material specifications for tvOS on the Developer page and the naming in the Design Resources (Sketch files). Which one should we consider authoritative? https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/materials

Scenario is when keyboard is opened within the app being developed then switch to other app, for instance, Notes app and create a note to enable keyboard from there. While the Notes app keyboard is active switch back to the developed app the keyboard in it is dismissed. Any thoughts?Thanks

My app is being rejected and all I'm being told is that it is spam. I've tried improving various aspects of the game, but I just receive the same copy and paste rejection message each time. I have no idea if I'm moving in the right direction or what part of my game needs to be changed or improved. Is there a game quality benchmark document or some kind of resource I can use to better understand why my game is being rejected and how to bring it to a level that meets apple's standards.

I'm observing that when a silent push notification is sent to our app, is is started up in the background for 30 seconds before being suspended until the app is launched by the user. This causes data to persist from the silent push notification to the user app launch. I couldn't find documentation on this behavior for silent push notifications, and was wondering if it's possible to have the app terminate after handling the silent push notification. Is there documentation on the general flow of silent push notifications as well? I'm able to handle the edge cases if the app has to be suspended until user launch, but just want to confirm that this is the expected behavior before I go about handling it this way.

Without using a custom preview, you can set .contentShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) so that in the "zoomed in" preview of the contextMenu you can have a custom cornerRadius. However, this does not work if you create a custom preview, because then the ContentShape gets applied only to the LIFT PREVIEW, and not to the FINAL PREVIEW state. Heres a sample code - I'd love some support! :) import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Rectangle() .fill(Color.blue) .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .cornerRadius(30) .contentShape(.contextMenuPreview, RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) .contextMenu { Button("Hello") {} Button("Goofy") {} } preview: { Rectangle() .fill(Color.blue) .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .cornerRadius(30) //.contentShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) //.contentShape(.contextMenuPreview, RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)) } Text("contextMenu item with large cornerRadius is not working as expected... No way to set contentShape to custom corner radius for final preview - not the lift preview") } } }

I was trying to move from appkit to swiftUI. As a learning project I am building a cellular automata style project based on Pattersons Worms.. I am trying something similar to the EA game Worms? for the Commodore 64. There is a video on YouTube of the game running, but I'm not allowed to link it here. The problem I have is that the animation is driven by a ruleset. When the automata hits a configuration that is not in the ruleset it is supposed to stop and ask the user. For each step the model returns either the next move, or nil to indicate the user need to make a choice that will be sent back to the model to be added to the ruleset. My current approach, and I might be following the wrong path, is a ZStack where the bottom level is the grid, the middle level is the established worm segments and the top level is either the animation of the next worm segment or the user chooser to choose the segment. I've only implemented the animation of the next worm segment. The idea is that when the model adds a segment that it first animated at the top level and then displayed by the middle level. Then the top level animates the next segment. I was animating the trim on the segment to draw the line. If the current move is nil, then the middle level draws the segment. If current move has a value, the animation draw it, and then on completion sets the current move to nil so that the bottom level draw it. The problem I ran into was resetting the animation to draw the next segment. I've tried two approaches. in one the completion resets the animation boolean variable, but I need a manual step to set the next stage of the animation. The other uses the completion to set the next step, but it the animation doesn't run for the step and the display is an always a step behind. I'm not sure how to both update the move and reset the animation at the same time. I have uploaded a simplified version without the full grid and simplified model to GitHub (https://github.com/thomasrdean/AnimationTest). Is there any other way to reset the animation the than the completion so I can use the completion to retrieve the next step from the model?

Hi, there is a issue that iOS background NFC scanning will only provide a notification result, It need user click to enter my APP, can I have any method to enter my APP directly without user action ?

Hello. Appstore is rejecting my app according to article 4.3. But the app is not a copy, what should I do in this case? It is useful to specify the details; I had previously registered with my personal account and the Appstore stated that unfortunately VPN applications are not accepted with a personal account. Then they told me to register with a company account and make this application from the company account. (When I sent the application for review on my personal account, there were only a few incorrect items and the most important reason why it was not accepted was that it was a personal account). Now we send the application for review with our company account, but as soon as it is put into in review mode, it is quickly rejected due to 4.3 spam. The app is not a copy but completely custom created. I don't know how to find a solution. Can you please help with the issue?

How to achieve the same navigation bar style as in the Design foundations from idea to interface - WWDC25 video? Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/huzsm1H There's no new navigationBarTitleDisplayMode that has action buttons aligned with the title.

I have a floating action button in my app above a toolbar. The action button adds items to my app, so is pretty important and should be easy to reach. Now with the new liquid glass design, I wonder what the best way is to combine those two. Should I use .tabViewBottomAccessory() for that? Though, that will merge down on scroll. 🤔 Or can I replace the search button in the bottom right with my own custom button action?

Hi! I'm working on a iOS 26 SwiftUI prototype that adds an element to the content of a screen only when the tab bar is fully visible and not minimized (via .tabBarMinimizeBehavior). Is there any way to detect when a tab bar is minimized? My hope is that I can use a ternary operator to display something only when a boolean is true. Here's some code to illustrate my idea: struct ContentView: View { @State var isTabBarMinimized: Bool = false var body: some View { TabView { Tab("View1", systemImage: "rainbow") { // Only appears when tab bar is fully visible Color.blue .opacity(isTabBarMinimized? 0 : 1 ) } Tab("View2", systemImage: "rainbow") { View2() } Tab("View3", systemImage: "rainbow") { View3() } Tab("View4", systemImage: "rainbow") { View4() } } .tabBarMinimizeBehavior(.onScrollDown) } }

Hi everyone, I’m new to macOS development and working on an app idea that needs a timeline-based editor interface, similar to what you see in Logic Pro or Final Cut. The UI I want to build would have: A horizontal beat ruler that follows BPM and shows beat positions Several vertical tracks stacked below it (for things like events or markers) Horizontal zooming and scrolling A preview panel on the right side that stays in sync with the timeline I’m currently trying this in SwiftUI, but I’m running into some limitations and wondering if AppKit would be a better fit, or maybe a hybrid of the two. My questions: Where should I start when building something like this? What’s the best way to make the beat ruler and all track layers scroll together? How should I handle zooming in/out and syncing the display to a BPM timeline? Is there a clean way to integrate AppKit for the timeline view while keeping SwiftUI elsewhere?
