How can I set up a B2B subscription with ABM + MDM + Paywall
I am looking for guidance on how people have solved this problem/use case. What is the best way to structure a seat based subscription app that an organization can pay for seats for all their users, can be distributed via mdm or via app store and is easy (low friction) to get paid for and started for small companies? I market to a business to buy my app, they want it installed on all 25 devices they have. They use ABM to acquire 25 licenses with and MDM to distribute. The app is currently free to download so ABM charges $0 but has a paywall to use. The paywall is a RevenueCat one and no user account is needed. All entitlements and free trial work great. When it is deployed to the 25 devices, they can either sign up with their own AppleId and own/company credit card, or use a company appleid and company card for all 25 devices to solve the issue but neither are great. Doubtful they would want to pay their money for a company required app on a company phone (don’t blame them). If they share an appleid, my MRR drops to 1/25th since they will just share the purchase. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Smooth appearance switching
Hello every developers. I need your help. Do you know how to attach animation to appearance, like a smooth transition from dark to light and vise versa. My code here: @main struct The_Library_of_BabelonApp: App { @AppStorage("selectedAppearance") private var selectedAppearance = 0 @StateObject private var router = AppRouter() var scheme: ColorScheme? { if selectedAppearance == 1 { return .light } if selectedAppearance == 2 { return .dark } return nil } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { RootView() .preferredColorScheme(scheme) .environmentObject(router) // this is doesn't work correctly .animation(.smooth(duration: 2), value: selectedAppearance) } } } And my appearance switching looks: struct SettingsView: View { @AppStorage("selectedAppearance") private var selectedAppearance = 0 var body: some View { List { Section(header: Text("Appearance")) { HStack(spacing: 20) { ThemePreview(title: "Light", imageName: "lightTheme", tag: 1, selection: $selectedAppearance) ThemePreview(title: "Dark", imageName: "darkTheme", tag: 2, selection: $selectedAppearance) ThemePreview(title: "System", imageName: "systemMode", tag: 0, selection: $selectedAppearance) } .padding(.vertical, 10) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } } } } struct ThemePreview: View { let title: String let imageName: String let tag: Int @Binding var selection: Int var body: some View { Button { selection = tag } label: { VStack { Image(imageName) .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill) .frame(width: 120, height: 80) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 12)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 12) .stroke(selection == tag ? Color.blue : Color.clear, lineWidth: 3) ) Text(title) .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(selection == tag ? .blue : .primary) } } .buttonStyle(.plain) } } I guess my code works but animation working another way, its turn my Section, I don't know.... Thank you in advance

Does anyone know how to prevent Liqud Glass from stretching when elements with the glassEffect are dragged?
When making an element with .glassEffect(.clear.interactive()) draggable, it stretches as it moves. It seems like it's meant to stretch as you move your finger away from the element, but it doesn't make sense if the element is following your finger as you drag it. Is this a bug, or is there a way to disable this behavior without removing the other "interactive" animations? P.S. The shiny border around the elements seems to be a rounded rectangle or capsule, but the actual element's shape seems to be stretched. That also appears to be a bug.

iOS 26 UIGlassEffect on custom UIButton
I have three custom UIButton instances inside a custom UIView subclass (not inside a UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, or UITabBar). I want to apply UIGlassEffect with interactive = YES to each button so they get the native liquid glass press animation. The problem is that the UIVisualEffectView containing the effect either: Has userInteractionEnabled = YES — glass animation works but the button's IBAction never fires Has userInteractionEnabled = NO — IBAction fires but no glass animation How can I have both the native interactive glass animation and the button action firing on the same button? Is this possible with the public API, or is the interactive glass animation on custom buttons simply not supported outside of standard UIKit controls?

How to stop ios 26 glass effect UI in ios app
Hi everyone, I want to avoid the iOS 26 Liquid Glass effect in my app’s UI. While researching, I found the following possible solution: Steps: Go to Info.plist Add the key: UIDesignRequiresCompatibility Type: Boolean Value: YES I have a few questions about this approach: According to the Apple Developer website, this seems to be a temporary solution. How long will this continue to work, and what would be the recommended long-term solution? Which iOS versions does this support (both older and upcoming versions)? If this method is not recommended, is there another way to disable or avoid the glass effect across the entire app without making major UI changes? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Gesture & SimultaneousGesture interfere with ScrollView behaviour.
I have faced a problem while I was trying to implement a reorder drag & drop view. I found that when I add any kind of .gesture or .simultaneousGesture, a ScrollView's scrolling behavior wasn't working properly (does not scroll at all). ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { ForEach($items) { $item in EditorCard(stepDetails: item) .simultaneousGesture( customCombinedGesture(item) ) } } This ScrollView worked fine with .onLongPressGesture(), however, I wanted to use custom gestures sequences.

I want to add an iMessage App to my project however I get validation errors from App Store Connect even if I add an imessage app to my asset catalog and include all app icon assets. Is there any way to do this at the moment natively with Icon Composer? If not how do I manually overwrite the icon JUST for iMessage and not for my entire iOS app?

关于iPhone的IOS26系统问题
我是iPhone14PRO机型,自从更新到IOS26以后,发现越更新越差劲,各种掉帧,卡顿,一使用就发热,电池续航能力相比于18.7.2直接少了三分之一,更别说跟IOS16系列相比,IOS26的每个版本都是,越来越差,连最基本的NFC都弄没了,还不让回退IOS18的系统,如果再这么烂下去,建议把参与系统制作的印度人全开除了,实在不会优化系统,建议把古老的IOS6.1.3的封包拿出来重新适配一下各种机型再放出更新,免得像现在一样,越更新越差劲!

App architectures with Swift UI and Apple Intelligence
I read some article that said for using Apple Intelligence as an integrated part of an app, instead of tacked on, MVVM and VIPER are not good fits. Would that be accurate? What other architectures could work better? (The author didn’t suggest any replacements.)
