Feedback ID: FB19846667 When dismissing a Menu view when the device is set to dark appearance, there is a flash of lightness that is distracting and feels unnatural. This becomes an issue for apps that rely on the user interacting with Menu views often. When using the overflow menu on a toolbar, the effect of dismissing the menu is a lot more natural and there is less flashing. I expect a similar visual effect when creating Menu views outside of a toolbar. Has anyone found a way around this somehow?

Just posted this feedback regarding macOS 26 "Tahoe" (FB19853155) - please support with additional submissions if you share my view. I will miss the beautiful and individual designed icons of the past! "macOS 26 is enforcing squicles for app icons, falling back to a grey background for 3rd party apps without a compliant AppIcon asset. As a result many original app icons are reduced in size and hard to distinguish because they share the same background color. Although I respect Apple's strive for an iOS-like UI on Macs, a smooth transition path would be more user- and developer-friendly ... e.g. with some info.plist property to opt-out icon migration, potentially ignored by a future macOS version. The current solution causes a bad usability, and makes the system look inconsistent as many - especially free - software will not be updated with new icon designs. Please reconsider this bad design decision!"

Hello, I need some help. I’m creating an application, but in fact it is just an instance of a web page built with WordPress and Elementor. When submitting it for review, the following adjustment is required: 4.2.2 Design: Minimum Functionality App example: https://applink.com.br/appfortrade

I've been experimenting with Liquid Glass quite a bit and watched all the WWDC videos. I'm trying to create a glassy segmented picker, like the one used in Camera: however, it seems that no matter what I do there's no way to recreate a truly clear (passthrough) bubble that just warps the light underneath around the edges. Both Glass.regular and Glass.clear seem to add a blur that can not be evaded, which is counter to what clear ought to mean. Here are my results: I've used SwiftUI for my experiment but I went through the UIKit APIs and there doesn't seem to be anything that suggests full transparency. Here is my test SwiftUI code: struct GlassPicker: View { @State private var selected: Int? var body: some View { ScrollView([.horizontal], showsIndicators: false) { HStack(spacing: 0) { ForEach(0..<20) { i in Text("Row \(i)") .id(i) .padding() } } .scrollTargetLayout() } .contentMargins(.horizontal, 161) .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned) .scrollPosition(id: $selected, anchor: .center) .background(.foreground.opacity(0.2)) .clipShape(.capsule) .overlay { DefaultGlassEffectShape() .fill(.clear) // Removes a semi-transparent foreground fill .frame(width: 110, height: 50) .glassEffect(.clear) } } } Is there any way to achieve the above result or does Apple not trust us devs with more granular control over these liquid glass elements?

UIBarButtonItem setting isEnabled = false, but the item is still tappable and animating. Is this a new UI behavior or an issue? Do the following steps: On tapping on a UIBarButtonItem, disable by setting isEnabled = false and setting hidesSharedBackground = true Enable the button by setting isEnabled = true and setting hidesSharedBackground = false => The button appears with bigger shared background is this an issue? please find the attachments for more details.

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'm using the new badge feature for UIBarButtonItem, but it's not working properly for me when transitioning between view controllers. I have two view controller with various right bar button items. In the first view controller the first button (the one with the bell) has a badge with a numeric count. The second view controller has the same button but in the third position. When I push the second view controller, it seems that the badge maintains also the old position, so I see two buttons with badges instead of one. What can I do to fix this?

Code that disables a tab bar item via UITabBarItem.isEnabled = false used to both grey out the item and block taps on iOS 18. On iOS 26, the item often remains tappable and selectable, even though isEnabled is set to false. This looks like a behavior change or regression. func disableTabbarItems(tabbar: UITabBarController, isEnable: Bool, index: Int) { if let tabItems = tabbar.tabBar.items { let tabItem = tabItems[index] tabItem.isEnabled = isEnable } ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/a3c0bafb-2b10-44c3-8d76-d31bd83f30f7" "title=iOS 18.jpg;width=1179;height=279") } ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/4bbaccf3-292b-4790-b272-0d9809ba2949" "title=iOS 26.jpg;width=828;height=196")

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?

I added a new liquid glass icon built with Icon Composer to my app. It works and looks great on iOS 26 but Xcode complains that required icon files for older versions are missing. I still have the old AppIcon in my Asset Catalog but it seems like it's not being used. How do I configure Xcode to use the old icons for iOS 18 and the new icon for iOS 26?

Hi all, After upgrading to the iOS 26 beta, the scrolling in my SwiftUI chat view is completely broken. The exact same code works perfectly on iOS 18. Context: I have a chat view using ScrollViewReader and a vertically-reversed ScrollView (with .rotationEffect(.degrees(180))). Each message row (MessageBubble) uses multiple simultaneousGesture handlers: Horizontal drag for swipe-to-reply (and other actions: pin, delete) Long press for showing popover/actions Vertical scroll for normal chat scrolling This was working great on iOS 18. In iOS 26 beta, the vertical scroll is either completely disabled, jittery, or hijacked by the message row’s drag gestures, even though .simultaneousGesture is used (see code below). Minimal Repro Sample MessageListView.swift swift Copy Edit ScrollViewReader { proxy in ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { LazyVStack(spacing: 0) { // ... grouped messages ForEach(...) { ... MessageBubble(...) // see below } Color.clear.frame(height: 8).id("BOTTOM_ANCHOR") } .padding(.horizontal, 4) .rotationEffect(.degrees(180)) } .rotationEffect(.degrees(180)) } MessageBubble.swift struct MessageBubble: View { // ... var body: some View { // horizontal swipe-to-reply gesture let dragGesture = DragGesture(minimumDistance: 10) // ... ZStack { // ... HStack { ... } // ... .simultaneousGesture( DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0) // for long press // ... ) .simultaneousGesture(dragGesture) // for horizontal swipe } // ... } }

I'm working on updating our iOS app for the latest Xcode version and noticed the new UIDesignRequiresCompatibility key requirement in Info.plist for apps targeting older iOS designs (without liquid glass). Is there an official timeline for when this compatibility key will be deprecated/removed so that we can plan our liquid glass design changes?

I've noticed that the App Store app tends to make the selected tab indicator darker on light mode and lighter on dark mode. Is there any easy way to ensure better legibility out of the box with Tab View (SwiftUI) when using the tint modifier with custom colors?

Hi, it seems like using Table on iPadOS 26 results in the table header not applying a background. When comparing the same code on iPadOS 18, the table header applies a blur behind the header to ensure legibility when the user scrolls the content. Is there a way to ensure Table applies a background effect to the header so that content remains legible during scrolling? Here is a minimal example: struct TablePreviewContent: Identifiable { var id: Int { text.hashValue } var text: String } #Preview { let content = [TablePreviewContent(text: "Hello"), TablePreviewContent(text: "World")] Table(content) { TableColumn("Title", value: \.text) } } I've attached screenshots of the behavior on iPadOS 26 compared to iPadOS 18 to illustrate the issue.

Pinned 2 homes address for the same contact Steps Initial check in Apple Maps No saved places or pinned addresses appear. Open Personal Contacts You have two addresses stored in your contact card: Main and Home. Pin & Edit “Main” You pinned the Main address in Maps. Refined the location on the map. Renamed it (but still saved under the type “My Home”). Open “Home” Address in Contacts Refined the location again. Changed the type to “My Home.” Attempted to rename, but no option to change the label. Final Saved Places View Shows two entries both called “Main.” Opening either of them displays the same details for the Home address. Saved Places list only shows the full address text, without the ability to rename them inside Maps. Results Both addresses appear duplicated with the same name (“Main”), even though they point to different underlying addresses. When selecting either entry, Apple Maps incorrectly shows the same Home address details. The Saved Places section does not allow renaming; it defaults to showing the full address string. Issues Identified Sync Conflict Between Contacts & Maps Apple Maps pulls labels/types from Contacts, but the edits don’t update consistently across apps. Duplicate Naming Bug Both “Main” and “Home” collapse into “Main” in Saved Places, making them indistinguishable. One-to-One Mapping Failure Regardless of which saved place you open, Maps shows the same Home entry, meaning the system isn’t correctly binding each saved place to its respective contact address. Renaming Limitation Apple Maps doesn’t allow renaming saved addresses directly — it relies on Contacts. Since Contacts only supports preset labels (Home, Work, School, etc.), custom naming is blocked.

Hello from Leipzig, Germany! I noticed that when vertically scrolling in Safari 26 on my Mac, the content of the website I am currently working on is visible in the tab and URL bar with a liquid glass effect. I then looked at various other websites. Some websites have an opaque top bar. Some websites have a transparent top bar where content is visible when scrolling. On the Apple website, the top bar is opaque in light mode but transparent in dark mode. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to control this behavior. Has anyone found out more about this?

create a sample XCode project using Objective-C and stroybook (xib) using latest XCode beta open MainMenu.xib, and select Main Menu → File → Print... remove the image like below 4. build it 5. run it on macOS 26 beta 7 6. The menu item "print.." still have "Image" Is there any way to remove image for one menu item. I have also tried NSMenuItem.image = nil, but still not work. The issue I met on my own app is that I cannot remove icons for "Zoom In", "Zoom Out" and many other menu items, which makes the menu items not aligned properly.

Lookin for J - is this a safe place for discussing full apps ive built but not submitted or shared , I have maybe over 100 but had been unaware any assistance was provided.. is there a formal process to take to submit an app fro review to improve OS, other than during App Store review.

Environment Windows 11 [edition/build]: [e.g., 23H2, 22631.x] Apple Music for Windows version: [e.g., 1.x.x from Microsoft Store] Library folder: C:\Users<user>\Music\Apple Music\Apple Music Library.musiclibrary Summary I need a supported way to programmatically enumerate the local Apple Music library on Windows (track file paths, playlists, etc.) for reconciliation with the on-disk Media folder. On macOS this used to be straightforward via scripting/export; on Windows I can’t find an equivalent. What I’m seeing in the library bundle Library.musicdb → not SQLite. First 4 bytes: 68 66 6D 61 ("hfma"). Library Preferences.musicdb → also starts with "hfma". artwork.sqlite → SQLite but appears to be artwork cache only (no track file paths). Extras.itdb → has SQLite format 3 header but (from a quick scan) not seeing track locations. Genius.itdb → not a SQLite database on this machine. What I’ve tried Attempted to open Library.musicdb with SQLite providers → error: “file is not a database.” Binary/string scans (ASCII, UTF-16LE/BE, null-stripped) of Library.musicdb → did not reveal file paths or obvious plist/XML/JSON blobs. The Windows Apple Music UI doesn’t appear to expose “Export Library / Export Playlist” like legacy iTunes did, and I can’t find a public API for local library enumeration on Windows. What I’m trying to accomplish Read local track entries (absolute or relative paths), detect broken links, and reconcile against the Media folder. A read-only solution is fine; I do not need to modify the library. Questions for Apple Is the Library.musicdb file format documented anywhere, or is there a supported SDK/API to enumerate the local library on Windows? Is there a supported export mechanism (CLI, UI, or API) on Windows Apple Music to dump the local library and/or playlists (XML/CSV/JSON)? Is there a Windows-specific equivalent to the old iTunes COM automation or any MusicKit surface that can return local library items (not streaming catalog) and their file locations? If none of the above exist today, is there a recommended workaround from Apple for library reconciliation on Windows (e.g., documented support for importing M3U/M3U8 to rebuild the local library from disk)? Are there any plans/timeline for adding Windows feature parity with iTunes/Music on macOS for exporting or scripting the local library? Why this matters For large personal libraries, users occasionally end up with orphaned files on disk or broken links in the app. Without an export or API, it’s difficult to audit and fix at scale on Windows. Reference details (in case it helps triage) Library.musicdb header bytes: 68-66-6D-61-A0-00-00-00-10-26-34-00-15-00-01-00 (ASCII shows hfma…). artwork.sqlite is readable but doesn’t contain track file paths (appears limited to artwork). I can supply a minimal repro tool and logs if that’s helpful. Feature request (if no current API) Add an official Export Library/Playlists action on Windows Apple Music, or Provide a read-only Windows API (or schema doc) that surfaces track file locations and playlist membership from the local library. Thanks in advance for any guidance or pointers to docs I might have missed.
