I've developed an app in swift and UIKit. Its multi linguistic app supports English and Arabic. When I change the language from English to Arabic or Arabic to English. After changing language, when I navigate through different screens crash is happening randomly on different screens most of the time when I tap to navigate to a screen. And cash log is: This time crashed with this error Exception NSException * "Not possible to remove variable:\t945: <unknown var (bug!) with engine as delegate:0x2824edf00>{id: 34210} colIndex:261 from engine <NSISEngine: 0x15c5dd5f0>{ delegate:0x15c594b50\nEngineVars:\n\t 0: objective{id: 31542} rowIndex:0\n\t 1: UIButton:0x15c6255b0.Width{id: 31545} rowIndex:1\n\t 2: 0x281c41450.marker{id: 31548} colIndex:1\n\t 3: UIButton:0x15c6255b0.Height{id: 31547} rowIndex:1073741824\n\t 4: 0x281c412c0.marker{id: 31546} colIndex:1073741825\n\t 5: UIButton:0x15c625a50.Width{id: 31549} rowIndex:11\n\t 6: 0x281c41270.marker{id: 31544} colIndex:2\n\t 7: UIButton:0x15c625a50.Height{id: 31551} rowIndex:1073741825\n\t 8: 0x281c414a0.marker{id: 31550} colIndex:1073741826\n\t 9: UILabel:0x15c625d10.Height{id: 31553} rowIndex:1073741826\n\t 10: 0x281c41590.marker{id: 31552} colIndex:1073741827\n\t 11: UIImageView:0x15c625870.Width{id: 31555} rowIndex:3\n\t 12: 0x281c41360.marker{id: 31554} colIndex:3\n\t 13: UIImageView:0x15c625870.Height{id: 31557} rowIndex:1073741827\n\t 14: 0x281c413b0.marker{id: 31556} colIndex:1073741828"... 0x0000000282fb11a0 For switching language I'm using this code snippet: private func restartApp() { guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as?

I tried multiple things but all in vain.

Forgot to turn off the ui element status bar. visual garbage. is it not important? your opinion https://developer.apple.com/hello/december24/?cid=ht-hello

Hello everyone, I am currently developing a gambling app and would like to ask if anyone has relevant experience or knowledge regarding whether it is necessary to require users to log in immediately when launching the app? Or is it permissible to offer a "guest mode" for users to try out the app before requiring them to log in? Does this comply with the policies of Apple or Google Play? Thank you all for your guidance!

I like this font. but in license only allowed for use in Mockup UI. Feel free to use in commercial? https://mobbin.com/apps/bloom-ios-e1251835-34e6-426e-9f94-f9595f2567fa/1c919e9a-d144-4aa0-b788-f9752111e281/screens

I'm trying to achieve a specific UI design in SwiftUI where the bottom section of my List has a different background color than the top section. For example in the Medications portion of the Health app, the "Your Medications" Section has a different background than the top "Log" Section. How do I achieve this?: Here some example code. I wonder if I am supposed to use two Lists instead. If I use two Lists though and nest it in a ScrollView, the height of the lists needs to be specified. I am working with dynamic content, though so I don't think that is ideal. class ProtocolMedication {} // Example model struct HomeView: View { @Query private var protocolMedications: [ProtocolMedication] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { // Upper sections with default background Section { Text("Content 1") } header: { Text("Log") } // Bottom section that needs different background Section { ForEach(protocolMedications) { medication in Text(medication.name) } } header: { Text("Your Medications") } } .listStyle(.insetGrouped) } } }

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 ?

Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to create a pure backdrop blur effect in my iOS app (SwiftUI / UIKit), similar to the backdrop-filter: blur(20px) effect in CSS. My goal is simple: • Apply a Gaussian blur (radius ~20px) to the background content • Overlay a semi-transparent black layer (opacity 0.3) • Avoid any predefined color tint from UIBlurEffect or .ultraThinMaterial, etc. However, every method I’ve tried so far (e.g., .ultraThinMaterial, UIBlurEffect(style:)) always introduces a built-in tint, which makes the result look gray or washed out. Even when layering a black color with opacity 0.3 over .ultraThinMaterial, it doesn’t give the clean, transparent-black + blur look I want. What I’m looking for: • A clean 20px blur effect (like CIGaussianBlur) • No color shift/tint added by default • A layer of black at 30% opacity on top of the blur • Ideally works live (not a static snapshot blur) Has anyone achieved something like this in UIKit or SwiftUI? Would really appreciate any insights, workarounds, or libraries that can help. Thanks in advance! Ben

Is it possible to change the default save dialog that appears when creating a document based MacOS app in SwiftUI? I have a basic FileDocument struct that gets called to a view using a DocumentGroup scene. struct MyFile: FileDocument { static let readableContentTypes: [UTType] = [.myFileType] static let writeableContentTypes: [UTType] = [.myFileType] var list: [String] init(configuration: ReadConfiguration) throws { let data = configuration.file.regularFileContents! let JSONDecoder = JSONDecoder() do { try list = JSONDecoder.decode([String].self, from: data) } catch { throw CocoaError(.fileReadCorruptFile) } } func fileWrapper(configuration: WriteConfiguration) throws -> FileWrapper { let JSONEncoder = JSONEncoder() JSONEncoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted do { data = try JSONEncoder.encode(self.list) } catch { print(error.localizedDescription) throw CocoaError(.fileWriteUnknown) } return .init(regularFileWithContents: data) } } This gets called at the DocumentGroup DocumentGroup(newDocument: MyFile(), editor: { document in ContentView(document: document.$document) }) But when I save the file, I want the save dialog that appears to have something like a 'Tags' textField that can also store information about the file. Something similar to this: (https://i.sstatic.net/AJQ3YNb8.png) From what I can find, there isn't much information about this other than manually creating an NSSavePanel class and overriding the current save function

I have an ongoing activity in progress. Think of: a delivery in progress house internet reboot in progress some water / electricity / internet / tv outage. (food) order processing I want to show a persistent toast message above the tab bar, across all tabs and screens across the app. It could take 15 minutes until the activity is finished. Obviously there's a challenge of: accessibility content overlaying with each other extra engineering effort. What we've thought of doing is: Option1: show a toast message, but when a modal is presented then it presents on top of the toast message. The toast message no longer updates itself. Once the modal is finished, then the toast message re-appears and continues to update. Option2: keep the toast message across all tabs and modals and work through the challenges mentioned Question: What are some other design approaches that could be taken to persist an ongoing activity (much like 'Live Activity', but just across the app when it's in foreground) or what are some design reasons that the two options considered are bad?

Hello everyone, I’d like to propose Sense & Store — a seamless integration between Safari and the App Store, powered by on-device AI, designed to understand what users are reading, searching, or selecting in Safari, and suggest relevant apps that match their current context or intention. 🔍 Key Idea: “Sense” the user’s need through intelligent analysis of web content, then “Store” — offer the most relevant app, either already installed or available in the App Store. 🌟 Core Features: • AI-powered context detection directly inside Safari • Real-time app suggestions based on user intent • Smart overlays when selecting text or data (e.g., phone numbers, emails, tools) • Privacy-first: All AI runs on-device (Apple Neural Engine) • Instant App Launch or Installation via StoreKit ✅ Examples: • Reading an article on productivity? → Suggests Notion or Things. • Looking up meditation tips? → Recommends Calm or Headspace. • Selecting a phone number? → Offers CRM or spam blocker apps. • Exploring code samples? → Suggests Pythonista or developer tools. 🔒 Privacy & Performance: • 100% on-device intelligence (no data sent to servers) • Follows Apple’s privacy framework • Works with SafariKit + StoreKit + CoreML ⸻ I’m happy to provide a full prototype roadmap and technical architecture. Feedback and collaboration are welcome! Would love to hear your thoughts — especially from developers who build for Safari, App Clips, or work with CoreML. Thanks!

Question: Guide for Using Apple's macOS Sequoia UI Kit in Figma? I recently discovered that Apple has published a "macOS Sequoia UI Kit" on their Figma profile: https://www.figma.com/@apple As someone new to both UI kits in Figma and Mac app development, I'm looking for guidance on how to use this UI kit when designing a Mac app. Does anyone know if such a resource exists? I haven't been able to find one so far. Background I started developing a new macOS app about a month ago and have a basic working version with early functionality. I've realized I need to take a step back and create visual prototypes to inform where to invest future development time. The Sequoia UI Kit seems like it could be helpful, but I'm unsure how to use it. iOS but not macOS There are several tools available for designing iOS apps: https://createwithplay.com/ https://www.judo.app/ https://detailspro.app/ However, I'm not aware of similar tools specifically for macOS application design. Direction Apple publishes design UI kits for both Figma and Sketch. I want to avoid paying for Sketch (this is a hobby project), so I'm focusing on the Figma option. Ideally, I'd love to see the iOS-focused tools mentioned above support macOS design fully. Until then (if ever), I'm hoping to make the most of the Sequoia UI Kit in Figma. Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated!

I previously written here, and some advices were to appeal to rejection sending them message describing uniqueness of the app. Nothing is working. In short, i have a vpn app (of course by design shares some concept with other apps that are in the app store). But since the rejection i have completely changed the ui, added built in browser, p2p messenger so users could interact with each other without any interference. The app is completely free with no ads. I thought this is it, there's no way it would reject this time, but... i get a notification with rejection repeating the same old message. I'm extremely frustrated and don't know what to do. Tried changing the logo of the app, the name to "Incognito - Messenger, VPN", app store screenshots. I've already appealed with screenshots describing unique features that other vpn apps don't have, but the message just repeats from app review team. Submission ID: 1a49ee0b-c4e2-4a36-8372-e4d3b9a8b13f Does anybody have an advice what i can do?

I'm trying to create custom SF symbols and am getting this error message when I validate the template. It doesn't matter if I Export Template or Symbol. Also, it doesn't even matter if I make any changes or not, as long as it is opened in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and then I save it, I will get this error message when validating.

I am trying to give bottom padding to tabbar i.e ** tabBarFrame.origin.y = view.frame.height - tabBarHeight - 30** but it is not moving up from bottom, it gets sticked to bottom = 0 and the tabbar content moving up taher than tabbar itself.. Code snippet is - `i override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() let tabBarHeight: CGFloat = 70 // Custom height for the capsule tab bar var tabBarFrame = tabBar.frame tabBarFrame.size.height = tabBarHeight tabBarFrame.size.width = view.frame.width - 40 tabBarFrame.origin.y = view.frame.height - tabBarHeight - 30 tabBarFrame.origin.x = 20 tabBar.frame = tabBarFrame tabBar.layer.cornerRadius = tabBarHeight / 2 tabBar.clipsToBounds = true view.bringSubviewToFront(tabBar) }` Can anyone please help to resolve the issue for iOS 18, it is coming in iOS 18 rest previous versions are fine with the code.

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?

Hey folks! I'm working on a macOS app which has a Finder Quick Action extension. It's all working fine, but I'm hitting a weird struggle with getting the icon rendering how I would like, and the docs haven't been able to help me. I want to re-use a custom SF Symbol from my app, so I've copied that from the main app's xcassets bundle to the one in the extension, and configured it for Template rendering. The icon renders in the right click menu in Finder, the Finder preview pane and the Extensions section of System Settings, but all of them render with the wrong colour in dark mode. In light mode they look fine, but in dark mode I would expect a templated icon to be rendered in white, not black. I've attached a variety of screenshots of the icons in the UI and how things are set up in Xcode (both for the symbol in the xcassets bundle, and the Info.plist) I tried reading the docs, searching Google, searching GitHub and even asking the dreaded AI, but it seems like there's not really very much information available about doing icons for Finder extensions, especially ones using a custom SF Symbol, so I would love to know if anyone here has been able to solve this in the past! Finder preview pane in light mode: Finder preview pane in dark mode: Finder quick action context menu: System Settings extension preferences: The custom symbol in my .xcassets bundle: The finder extension's Info.plist:

I have a website that uses tables for listing our certifications. A customer is complaining that on their browser, the contents of the tables are being viewed upside down. They should be showing vertically. This is not happening on any other browser that I have tested. Has anyone had this issue and what did you do to fix it. https://www.mccampbell.com/statement.php Thank you for your help. Much appreciated. Lynda

I want to know why there is no video frame data when RePlaykit enters the background and then enters the foreground?

Hi developers, I have a question if it is possible to open in my application not main window but a specific ViewController, when application is installed but not running. When the application is running in background and I scan QR code, then specific ViewController is opened over SceneDelegate and method 'userActivity'. But this does not work when the application is only installed, but not running. The Appstore link is here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/don%C3%A1tor/id6473955033
